Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

This news was sent out at [-]:[-] am on July [-]th, and at [-]:[-] am, a leaflet with this message was placed on the desk of Heihachiro Togo, the Command Office of the Kitakyushu Naval Port.

Dongxiang Heihachiro was very depressed at this time. Since the combined fleet was wiped out, he has become a bare-bones commander. There is no capital ship under his command, and there are only some old-fashioned patrol gunboats. These warships are on the battlefield. Too lazy to fight.

What made Dongxiang Heihachiro most depressing was: his combined fleet was not annihilated bit by bit, but in an instant!This transition from heaven to hell was too much for him to bear.

After reading the leaflet, Togo Heihachiro said to his subordinates: "Call the submarine fleet commander Hoshino Yasuka."

Soon after, Hoshino Yasuka came to Togo Heihachiro's office, and with him was the chief of staff of the submarine fleet, the scientist Koyama Shiji. The two of them were lucky enough to die in the battle where the Lin Yuan fleet wiped out the Japanese submarine. escape.

Togo Heihachiro said to Hoshino Yasuka: "Hoshino-kun, has your special attack torpedo plan achieved results?"

Yasuka Hoshino said: "Yesterday our hydrophone base station discovered Lin Yuan's fleet. I have sent two submarines carrying special attack torpedoes to attack. The results are still unclear. Those two submarines have not returned yet."

Dongxiang Heihachiro sneered and said, "There's no need to wait, they won't come back."

Hoshino Anhe asked in surprise, "General, how do you know?"

Dongxiang Heihachiro handed the leaflet to Yasuka Hoshino, and said, "Look for yourself. It says in detail: The Lin Yuan Fleet sank two submarines on July [-]! A man-operated torpedo was also seized."

Hoshino Anhe read the flyer once, and said in surprise: "How could the human torpedo be captured by Lin Yuan's fleet? I think this news is probably false."

Dongxiang Heihachiro said angrily: "If it's fake, how could Lin Yuan know that we used human torpedoes?"

Hoshino Anhe was speechless for a while, and Xiaoshan Shiji said at the side: "It is possible that the weapon of Lin Yuan's fleet blew up the torpedo's depth gauge, and the torpedo floated to the surface, and was captured by Lin Yuan's fleet."

Togo Heihachiro sighed, and said, "I was expecting your submarines and special attack torpedoes to turn the tide in one fell swoop, but I didn't expect the first battle to be unfavorable. How can we continue fighting in the future?"

Xiaoshan Shiji said at this time: "Your Excellency, please calm down. The reason why our submarine has been spotted by Lin Yuan's fleet repeatedly is mainly because of the excessive noise. If we can find a way to reduce the noise of the submarine, maybe we can sneak attack The Lin Yuan fleet has succeeded."

Togo Heihachiro said: "Reduce the noise? How to reduce it?"

Xiaoshan Shiji said: "The main sound of the submarine comes from the vibration of the main engine and auxiliary engine, the propeller, etc. The noise of the propeller is not easy to reduce, so the most feasible way is to reduce the vibration amplitude of the main engine and auxiliary engine. There are two methods: one is to lay noise reduction equipment on the surface of the hull, and the other is to install shock absorbers between the main engine and auxiliary engines and the hull, which can greatly reduce the noise of the submarine.”

Dongxiang Heihachiro said: "Then what are you talking to me? Hurry up and organize people to modify it!"

Xiaoshan Shiji said helplessly: "But the current I-type submarines have too little room for improvement. If there is no major renovation of the hull, the noise reduction measures are nonsense."

Dongxiang Heihachiro smiled bitterly, and said: "Now the resources of the empire are all tilted towards the local land defense weapons. I am afraid that there are not so many resources to build a new type of submarine."

Xiaoshan Shiji didn't speak, and said after a while: "General Dongxiang, the American Weapons Company has developed the Yishenbow and the special attack torpedo for us, but none of them have achieved good results. Should we develop some weapons and equipment by ourselves?"

Togo Heihachiro sighed helplessly, and said: "Little Tiger, now the Imperial Navy can no longer speak in front of the Emperor, and even General Ito Yutou doesn't work anymore, so don't think about developing new weapons yourself."

Xiaoshan Shiji said: "General, I have an idea, maybe it can save face for the Imperial Navy."

Dongxiang Heihachiro asked, "What do you think?"

Xiaoshan Shiji said: "I want to discuss this idea with the Army, and I hope you can coordinate for me."

Dongxiang Heihachiro said: "That's all right, tell me what you think."

Xiaoshan Shiji pointed to the chart on the wall of Togo Heihachiro's office and said, "General, please come and have a look." Dongxiang Heihachiro and Hoshino Yasuka both walked to the front of the chart, and Xiaoshan Shiji pointed to the loose sand between Tsushima Island and Kyushu Island The same small island said: "General, please look at these small islands. They are only tens of nautical miles away from Kyushu Island, and their area is very small. The largest island of Iki is only [-] square kilometers. You should understand that these small islands are important to us and What does Lin Yuan mean?"

Togo Heihachiro thought for a while and said: "For our Great Japanese Empire, these small islands are like China's 'chicken ribs'. They are tasteless to eat, but it is a pity to discard them. They are too small and not strong enough to hold on, so they cannot serve as a defensive homeland. For Lin Yuan, these small islands are like our Japanese sushi, which is a must-eat delicacy for everyone. After Lin Yuan's troops occupy these islands, they can be used as material transfer islands for their landing troops. Provide food."

Xiaoshan Shiji said: "Since ancient times, heroes have seen the same thing. I believe Lin Yuan must have thought the same way, so he must attack these small islands next, and he must have thought that we will not station troops on them, so he They will directly send troops over to set up a material transfer station on the island without any precautions."

Dongxiang Heihachiro thought for a while and said: "Then what do you mean: we set up an ambush on the island while they are unprepared, and then destroy their landing troops?"

Xiaoshan Shiji shook his head and smiled, "What's the point of destroying a few small soldiers? What we want to destroy are the landing ships and warships of Lin Yuan's army! Only in that way can we show our Imperial Japanese Navy a reputation, don't you think?"

Dongxiang Heihachiro asked: "But how can we use these small islands to destroy the warships of Lin Yuan's troops?"

Xiaoshan Shiji smiled mysteriously, and then whispered his plan to Dongxiang Heihachiro. After hearing this, Dongxiang Heihachiro laughed and said, "Great! This strategy is really ingenious. I will go find it right away." General Nogi Noki discuss it!" After speaking, Togo Heihachiro took out a bottle of red wine from the cabinet and said with a smile, "Let's celebrate the victory in advance."

After Dongxiang Heihachiro finished speaking, he took out three glasses and poured half a glass of wine for the three people. Hoshino Anhe took the wine glasses, and suddenly said viciously to Xiaoshan Shiji: "Xiaoshan! I didn't expect you to be a dangerous Lin Yuan thought molecular!"
