Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 220: Boarding, tea party (on)

This wooden eight-meter rowing boat is usually stored in a special compartment under the rear deck of the submarine. The process of fetching and hoisting is relatively cumbersome. The sailors on the Iraqi 60 are well-trained and it’s enough to be fully prepared. It took about fifteen minutes, so Kishima's eagerness is completely understandable. He was worried that the "friend of the country alone" was already waiting impatiently.

The distance between the two moorings was very close, and the currents on the sea were slow. The Japanese sailors used almost no effort to row the rowing boat to the side of the independent submarine. It seemed that the sailors of the independent country did not react with dissatisfaction, which made Japan's Nakasa breathe a sigh of relief. In the eyes of these sailors, Guijima was full of curiosity.

Isn’t this the case on my own side. This is the first time that the Japanese and German navies have communicated on the sea after World War I. At this time, Kishima suddenly realized that he had created an imperial navy. History.

Whether this is a good thing or a curse, Guidao is still unable to judge at this time. The decision he made requires a great risk, because it obviously violates the rules of the Navy. It can be said that Guidao is taking his own future and Fate bet. If Guidao wins the gambling, he won’t be able to get away from being promoted. Maybe he will be transferred to the military command for a few years. If he loses the gambling, then everything will not be mentioned. The best outcome waiting for him is to retire. , If you don’t know how to squat in a naval prison for a year or two.

However, Guidao asked himself that things would not be so bad, no matter how much he was in contact with independent people, the navy always had to worry about the reaction of friends when dealing with it. Independence is still Japan’s friendly country. At least at this time, Japanese people generally think this way. Japanese people have had the dream of leaving Asia and entering Europe for more than 20 years. Although the dream has now been shattered, society generally has a feeling towards the West. Awe.

In history, after the outbreak of the Pacific War and the invincibility of Japanese troops in Southeast Asian colonies, the halo over Westerners finally dissipated. It is no wonder that the Japanese who have been inferior for many years will be ecstatic after hearing the record. The flaws in the Japanese national character have completely exploded as a result. The morale of the people throughout the country has begun to slide towards the abyss of blind arrogance. Any attempt to block it has been crushed to pieces. Look at the performance of Japanese society at that time. That kind of morbid fanaticism, it seems that the Empire of Japan has the ability to conquer the world.

In history, this kind of "prudence" of the Japanese continued for just four years. With the rise of two mushroom clouds, the pride of the Yamato nation was trampled on the ground by the Nanbarians again, as if they had gone through a cycle. Japan once again fell into the adoration and obsession with Western culture. It was not until the peak of the bubble economy in the 1980s that the spine of the bulging Japanese only slightly straightened up.

The topic is far off, let’s just say that the current Guidao Zhongzuo has a respectful and fearful attitude towards the independent country in his heart. Guidao respected the Great German Empire Army Weihehe. In just one year, he conquered a series of surrounding powers and sat firmly on the throne of the European hegemon.

Especially the British Empire, which has been regarded as a teacher by Japan for decades, has the world's most powerful navy and air force, but it has not been able to hold on longer than France under the force of the Greater German Empire. The German Wehrmacht's fierce offensive, which was like a devastation, shocked the whole world. Of course, it also included Japanese army and navy officers on the other side of the earth.

Look at their Japan again. Dealing with a weak China almost used the power of the whole country, but until now, the Chinese government still cannot be succumbed to. Think about the army of red deer, it really is a bunch of waste.

What worries Guidao is that the recent world diplomatic situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to Japan. Although the domestic news is blocked, officers of his level still have some internal information channels.

Moreover, from a series of recent orders from the Military Command, he vaguely perceives that the relationship between the Republic of Korea and Japan is undergoing a change. Although Kishima does not know whether this change is going for the better or for the worse, neither party has so far. To reach an alliance, this is already certain.

If the independent country abandons its friendly and neutral attitude towards Japan, turns to support the United Kingdom and the United States and other countries, and begins to put pressure on the empire, then Japan may really face a situation of universal enemies.

Japan still needs to import a large amount of energy, minerals and precision machinery parts from overseas, especially for many key technologies in the military and industrial fields. The West strictly restricts exports. After the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, only Idali and Independent The country is also willing to extend a hand of friendship and continue to transfer technology and industrial products to the Japanese Empire. The former ally and teacher, the British Empire, had already parted ways with Japan due to differences in interests in Asia. I heard that Britain is uniting with the Commonwealth and many allies to launch a trade blockade against Japan. This is obviously a serious violation of international law. It is absolutely impossible for the Japanese Empire to shrink back on this matter.

Originally, Japan could still rely on importing much-needed war supplies from the United States, but the situation in the United States is now starting to be worrying. The United States has changed to a conservative president, claiming that the United States is re-raising the banner of isolationism. All give priority to Milikan. Although this is not a bad thing for the Japanese Empire, the problem is that it is said that the Milikan cabinet seems to have some new ideas on Asian policy, which may be detrimental to Japan. What changes will be made in detail? The results may not be seen until next year, and there are also rumors that the United States may exert great pressure on Japan, intending to use economic means to end the chaos in East Asia as soon as possible. This is not fun for the resource-poor Japan. Thing.

A German sailor skillfully caught the rope thrown by the Japanese sailor, and then the German side also threw a rope over. The small island second-class soldier standing at the head of the rowing boat cleanly raised his hand to catch it, and It was quickly tied to the mooring hook of the bow.

Along the folding ladder on the hull of the aft deck, Guidao climbed onto the deck of U106. A navy officer blew the boarding guard, and twelve sailors in tropical uniforms lined up to pay attention to the Japanese navy who boarded the boat.

"Welcome to the U106 submarine of the Great German Imperial Navy. I am Captain Hank Robin." Captain Robin greeted him and paid a military salute to the Japanese officer.

"I am the Imperial Japanese Navy, Commander of the 28th Diving Team, Lieutenant Colonel Kejima Saiji (Moriji Kishima)." Kishima's German is so-so, but he can speak quite fluent English. , Although there are some accent problems, it does not hinder communication at all.

"It's nice to meet you, Lieutenant Colonel Kejimasaiji." Captain Robin is also very proficient in English, and then he re-introduced his position and name to the other party in English.

"Fortunately, Captain Robin, this is the captain of the I 60 submarine, Major Hanabu Sahakashi (Hirochi Hanabu), you can call him Major Hanabuza." Kishima Introduce Robin to the flower house around him.

"Fortunately, Major Hanabuza." Robin saluted the flower house. Unexpectedly, the two Japanese officers who came were all of higher ranks than him.

"This is Lieutenant Igor, Deputy Captain~IndoMTL.com~This is Lieutenant Rudolph, the gunner, and this is our Captain Herman, Lieutenant." Robin introduced to the Japanese guests. Own men.

"Please come over there. We have prepared some refreshments for you." Robin invited.

The command tower of U106 has not been modified, and there is no second-layer antiaircraft gun platform installed, so the space on the rear deck is still very spacious. The crew of U106 is on the 37mm antiaircraft gun and the control tower on the rear deck. A white canvas awning was erected between the enclosures. The sailors set up two long folding tables under the shed, and spread white tablecloths on them. Tea sets and various desserts were placed on the table, and even a potted plant was placed in the middle of the table as a decoration. The whole afternoon tea party still looks quite extraordinary.

Under the guidance of the Germans, several Japanese officers sat at the table. Japanese sailors were not qualified to sit with the officers. They were entertained by a few German sailors, smoking and resting on the stern deck.
