Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Hoshino Yasuka said: "Does the water curtain have to be blown out by mines? Can't it be blown out by ammunition? Have you checked the transport ship? Isn't it loaded with ammunition?"

Ryuichi Abe said: "Your Excellency, do you still remember how Lin Yuan's troops conquered Vladivostok?"

Hoshino Anhe frowned, and said, "How did you get to that matter?"

Abe Ryuichi said: "Lin Yuan snatched a Russian transport ship, and then impersonated him and sneaked into Vladivostok. After we knew about that incident, we were worried that Lin Yuan's troops would repeat the old tricks, so we did not respond to large foreign transports. The ship was inspected in detail, and after our inspection, there were no explosives on the transport ship."

Hoshino Yasuka said: "Is there really a mine in the waterway? But where did the mine come from?"

At this time, Xiaoshan Shiji said: "Hoshino-kun, do you still remember the mysterious parachute a few days ago? I think the mines were dropped by those parachutes."

Hoshino Yasuka widened his eyes and said, "What? Throwing mines from the sky? How is this possible!"

Xiaoshan Shiji said sadly: "It is impossible for others, but for Lin Yuan, nothing is impossible."

Hoshino Yasuka said: "But when did that happen? On March [-]st, it has been almost two days. How many ships are coming and going in the waterway of the port? How come none of them hit a mine, but this transport ship It hit a thunderbolt!"

Xiaoshan Shiji shook his head and said nothing, Hoshino Anhe said: "Since there are mines in the channel, we can no longer dispatch." Hoshino Anhe then called the messenger and said: "Send my order, the operation is cancelled, everyone Troops stand by."

The messenger agreed to come down and turned to leave. At this time, Abe Ryuichi said: "Your Excellency, then I will go too." Abe Ryuichi returned to the observation post of the water diversion department. At this time, Togo Heihachiro had received the news, and he also arrived The observation post just happened to see the transport ship sinking. The bow of the transport ship hit a mine, so a large amount of sea water poured into the front hull, and the transport ship fell headfirst.

The explosion also caused a fire, which illuminated the water surface brightly. In the light of the fire, something moved towards the shore from time to time. Togo Heihachiro knew that it was the survivors on the boat. He said sadly: "Send a boat to rescue the survivors."

"We've dispatched the boat," said Kogoro Matsushita, captain of the port guard.

Togo Heihachiro nodded, then walked to the front of the sand table, and said to Ryuichi Abe, "How many meters is that ship from the bottom keel to the top mast?"

Abe Ryuichi said: "We got the size data of the ship when we boarded the ship for inspection, and it was 28 meters in total."

Dongxiang Heihachiro said: "28 meters? The water depth of the channel is only 30 meters. If a large transport ship is blocked in the channel, if another ship hits it, it is no different from hitting a mine."

Abe Ryuichi said: "We can dispatch the tugboat to tow that large transport ship out."

Dongxiang Heihachiro said: "Aren't your tugboats afraid of mines?"

Ryu Abe was speechless, and Dongxiang Heihachiro continued: "So we must clear the mines first, and then send the tugboat." Speaking of this, Dongxiang Heihachiro said to his subordinates: "Command the minesweeping team to prepare for dispatch, and the next morning Let's go."

The subordinates agreed to deliver the order, and Togo Heihachiro said to Akiyama Shinyuki: "Akiyama-kun, where do you think this mine came from?"

Akiyama Shinyuki said: "It must have fallen from the parachute."

Dongxiang Heihachiro said: "But it's been several days. Why didn't other ships hit the mines, but this transport ship hit the mines?"

Akiyama Shinyuki shook his head silently, and Togo Heihachiro said: "Okay, let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about the results of the minesweeping."

At this moment, an officer suddenly came in and said, "General Dongxiang, the captain of that large transport ship wants to see you."

Dongxiang Heihachiro frowned and said, "What do you see me for?"

The officer said: "The reason why he refused to say, it is very important to say that you must meet in person before you can say it."

Dongxiang Heihachiro said: "If he wants to see me at this time, what he wants to say must be very important. Let him come in."

Not long after, a drowned middle-aged man walked into the command room, the water dripped from his body, leaving a "stream" where he walked, Dongxiang Heihachiro saw the middle-aged man's appearance, and his eyes widened. Frowning, he blamed the officer under him and said, "Why don't you change his clothes?"

The officer said: "We brought it up, but he said it was too late, and insisted that I come to see you immediately."

Dongxiang Heihachiro thought in his heart: "He is so anxious to see me, I don't know what is important." So he asked: "Mr. Captain, just tell me if you have anything to do."

The captain said: "My name is Fujita Izumo, General, you must dispatch divers and take out the things in the cabin!"

Dongxiang Heihachiro asked: "Isn't the cabin filled with mechanical parts? Why are you so anxious?"

Fujita Izumo shook his head and said, "Those are not ordinary mechanical parts..."

Dongxiang Heihachiro said: "I know they are parts of the main artillery tank, but don't worry too much."

Fujita Izumo said: "General Dongxiang, the situation is urgent now, so I will not hide anything. These parts are indeed on the main artillery tank, but they are the key parts of a certain type of main artillery tank!"

Dongxiang Heihachiro said: "A certain type? What do you mean? Isn't there only one type of main artillery tank?"

Fujita Izumo said: "After a series of previous battles, we found that our main artillery tank was not the opponent of Lin Yuan's troops, so we made improvements and called the improved main artillery tank the 'Type II main artillery tank. The army regards this type of main artillery tank as the killer weapon against Lin Yuan's troops. Lin Yuan's army is already close at hand and urgently needs the "Type II main artillery tank" to enter service, so these parts were delivered very urgently .”

Dongxiang Heihachiro asked: "The killer feature? Is there anything special about this type of main artillery tank?"

Fujita Izumo replied: "I'm sorry Dongxiang-kun, without the instruction of the General Staff Headquarters, I can't disclose any more information to you."

Togo Heihachiro was not interested in knowing so much about the army, but he thought: "How can a captain know so many things?" So he asked Fujita Izumo: "You are just a transport ship captain, how do you know so many things? "

Fujita Izumo said: "I have another identity, the head of the Supplies Section of the North Korean Garrison, who is in charge of weapons and equipment. You should believe me, right?"

Dongxiang Heihachiro nodded slightly, and said, "Tomorrow I will send people into the water to salvage."

Fujita Izumo hurriedly said: "No, General Dongxiang, you must send people down to salvage today!"

Dongxiang Heihachiro said: "You have never been in the navy, and you don't know the work of divers, so you don't know how difficult and dangerous it is to dive in the dark. We don't know the structure of your ship. Let divers enter the hull rashly. Once you lose your way inside and can't find the exit, that is a dead end!"

After hearing what Togo Heihachiro said, Fujita Izumo frowned, stomped heavily, and said, "General Togo, there is no other way. Let me tell the truth. There are still some key components on board. If we don't save them now, it will be too late." Already!"
