Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 222: Boarding, tea party (below) (2 in 1)

When the Japanese empire was still very weak, in order to narrow the gap with Western countries, they did everything they could, and even used special methods to send a large number of spies abroad. For a while, almost one out of every three Japanese overseas was a Japanese spy.

Some of them were officially dispatched by the government, and some were spontaneous out of patriotism. These Japanese are like pieces of sponges that absorb information, greedily searching for all the intelligence they can access, whether it is military technology or industrial trade. They will find ways to get the information in their hands if they think it might be useful to the Japanese Empire.

The Japanese are exceptionally generous in intelligence collection. Whether it is money, fame, or even the body of a Japanese woman, as long as they think there is a need, they will not hesitate at all. At least 20% of the credit for the rapid rise of the Japanese Empire should be attributed to their spies.

Because they are good at using espionage abroad, the Japanese are very sensitive to their own domestic intelligence and information management and control, because they have always believed that they can detect Western intelligence, so Westerners will definitely do the same against Japan.

The Japanese military’s secrecy and anti-espionage work is very meticulous. In fact, it has indeed achieved considerable success. The closed environment of the island country itself is a natural barrier. The ethnic difference makes it difficult for Western spies to move. The spies never had access to Japan's core intelligence, which is one of the reasons why Sorge is famous in history.

The secrecy work of the Imperial Japanese Navy was second to none at the time. Compared with the meticulousness of the Japanese, Germany and Italy in history were basically two big colanders.

The Japanese Navy is almost carrying out intelligence work with a kind of pathological paranoia. Since the end of the Taisho period, the Japanese Navy has begun to delete and modify the equipment data released to the outside world, and strictly seal the development of new weapons intelligence, not just for precautions Outsiders, sometimes even their own people cheat together, so that many weapons and equipment data are not known to outsiders for the first time until the end of the war.

The most famous is the Super Crossbow-class battleship [Yamato]. Before the outbreak of the Pacific War, not many people in the outside world even knew that this warship existed. Even after the US Navy sank it, all about The intelligence data of this battleship still came from the guesswork of the naval intelligence department, and it proved to be mostly wrong afterwards.

In the early days of the Pacific War, the intelligence situation between Japan and the United States was completely unequal. It should be said that the United States was at an obvious disadvantage. The reason was that Japan's strict domestic control system made the United States' intelligence collection often futile.

So this unintentional gaffe of Hanafang is already a leak in the Japanese Navy. If anyone wants to deal with him, he can take this matter out and go online. Huafang realized his mistake, his face suddenly turned pale, he looked at Guidao nervously, hoping that the boss would not notice.

Kui Dao was also a submarine captain, how could he not notice this, but it seems that he doesn't care about the gaffe of the flower house, and he still talks and chats with the German captain as usual.

"Your ship seems to have been cruising for a long time, are you ready to go back to Saigon Port." Guidao dusted the soot in the aluminum ashtray while testing the German captain.

Kishima didn't think that the captain of the independent country was deliberately spying on Japanese intelligence. He felt that the other party was showing off the advanced technology of the independent country's submarine.

The noise emitted by the submarine of the independent country is indeed much lighter than that of the imperial navy. It is said that the diesel engine of the independent country uses a special vibration reduction method. Unfortunately, the independent country has always been reluctant to teach the Japanese experts the tricks. . It would be nice to have a chance to enter the power cabin of the Dokoku submarine and take a look, Guidao thought to himself.

In addition, what makes Guidao curious is how can the Dokoku submarine have an ashtray on it? Do they allow smoking in the submarine? Usually, the Japanese navy only allows the crew to smoke on the control tower and the front and rear decks when the submarine is sailing or berthing on the surface of the submarine, and only after obtaining the captain’s permission to smoke, and all toilets on the submarine are open. This is Japan. The "B" rest law for naval submarines (At that time, there were three types of rest rules on Japanese submarines: A, B, and C. Law A means that no one is allowed to go on deck except for the personnel on duty on the control tower. Law C prohibits personnel from going on the control tower to rest. The toilet is closed.).

The sailors on Japanese submarines are mostly smokers. According to the Japanese Navy’s order, each person can be allocated 20 cigarettes per day, which is exactly the number of a pack. If it is a regular cruise, it is not a big problem. Once you enter Fighting cruise, so if you want to smoke, it's all luck, so few people can finish their share. Not every sailor has the opportunity to go to the deck to perform duties, so he goes to the command tower to watch out, and is often used by officers as a reward for good sailors.

It seems that the German navy’s regulations in this regard seem to be somewhat different from those of Japan. Although the Japanese and German navies have had some exchanges before, this is the first time between the two submarines, because the German submarine forces have previously It has not been taken seriously by the senior German army, and the result has also affected the Japanese Navy’s perception of this aspect of intelligence. Hitler was not very cold with the submarine unit. Although he personally participated in the submarine unit's ship review several times, it seemed that the head of state preferred the big pipes on the huge ships.

"Yes, we have been out for twenty days and are preparing to return to the base, but not in Saigon, but in Haiphong Port." Robin answered with a smile.

The Japanese should have noticed that there is a secret anchorage for German submarines along the coast of Vietnam. Recently, some Japanese freighters with suspicious tracks are spying on the coast of Vietnam. Obviously, the Japanese side has not found it yet. The German submarine anchorage is set up. On Kunshan Island not far from Saigon Port. Of course, this anchorage cannot be hidden for too long, and sooner or later it will be noticed by Japanese spies, but at that time U1001 should also return to Germany. By then, whether the anchorage is exposed or not will have little to do with Robin.

The mechanical wear and tear of the U106 is not serious. After this time I went to Singapore for docking and maintenance, and replaced the parts shipped from China, the submarine can be restored to the state when it left Wilhelmshaven.

"Oh, we departed from Kaohsiung Port. We have just sailed for three days at sea." Guidao had a heart-to-heart visit here. The Iraqi 60 actually sailed from Sasebo Port, only four days ago. Just docked at Kaohsiung Port.

The design purpose of the large-scale submarine of the Japanese Navy is to build a large submarine with strong firepower and long-range endurance. This is the remedy that the Imperial Japanese Navy came up with in response to the "Washington Naval Treaty"'s weakening of the Japanese Navy. Because the treaty did not restrict the number and tonnage of submarines, the Japanese Navy tried to build large submarines to compensate for the number of surface warships. Gap.

As a result, these loopholes were blocked during the "London Naval Treaty". In the end, the Japanese were squeezed out of the table and stopped playing with you shameless British rice ghosts.

The special background of the large-scale submarine in the sea makes her have a very strong endurance and self-sustaining ability at the beginning of the design. She can sail 10,000 nautical miles at a speed of ten knots, and at the same time can perform three consecutive missions after one replenishment. month. So for U106's 20-day voyage, Guidao seems to have nothing to brag about, but for etiquette needs, he must compliment the other party, anyway, the people of the country will not take this seriously.

"Oh, it turned out to be from Kaohsiung." Robin reached out and pushed the dessert plate on the table.

"Please try our German butter biscuits, which are specially shipped by air from Germany. You can't taste this kind of dessert at sea."

"Oh, did it come by plane from Berlin? It must be tasted." Guidao admired.

It looks like ordinary baked biscuits. I don’t know if they were actually airlifted from Berlin, but Guidao felt that it was not bragging. He carefully picked up a piece and put it in his mouth gracefully.

It really tasted like a cream-filled biscuit. The taste is not much different from the one bought in Asakusa, Tokyo. To Kishima’s surprise, this biscuit seems to have been frozen, and the cream-filled biscuits still carry a little bit when put in your mouth. Chills.

"Yeah." While chewing the cookies, Guidao gave a thumbs up.

"My sister (delicious)" he turned his head and said to the flower room.

"Oh, it's worthy of a volition to transport such ordinary snacks by plane." Hanaba nodded while chewing on cookies.

"Don't just look at the surface. Since the independent country can transport this kind of snacks by air over long distances, of course they can also transport other supplies. This is the national power of the European hegemon." Guidao warned his subordinates in Japanese.

"Ha, I see, Commander." Huafang quickly bowed his head to be taught.

"Thank you very much for your hospitality, Captain Robin." Guijima took out his handkerchief from his pants pocket and wiped the crumbs from the corner of his mouth.

"Captain Robin, regarding your previous request for exchanging supplies, we have absolutely no opinion on this. I just want to ask what kind of supplies do you want to exchange." Chiya After eating and drinking, it is time to talk about "business."

"Any kind of food, vegetables, meat, canned food, cigarettes, beverages, alcohol, all are fine." Robin answered happily.

"Can you provide a specific list, and how many people do you plan to exchange?" This kind of thing is not without precedent before, it belongs to the way of communication and friendship between foreign sailors, but generally this kind of exchange is in the seaport What happened privately at the pier, this is the first time I have encountered it in the sea.

The main reason is that there are few opportunities to encounter calm sea conditions like today. The submarine’s own surface stability is insufficient, and it will sway severely when encountering wind and waves. Normally, even if it is normal sea surface replenishment, the crew is often exhausted. Half-dead, who would be interested in exchanging supplies with others.

"Let’s change to ten people, Lieutenant Colonel, I heard that you have just set sail for three days, so you should still bring fresh vegetables." Robin asked, "We can exchange canned food with you, the best German smoked Ham."

Originally, it was just an excuse to come up with the brain, but now it seems that this is better than the transaction, because it is located in Southeast Asia, the temperature in the cabin is hot and humid, U106 does not carry too many fresh vegetables, and I ate it all two days ago.

"We brought some radishes and dried vegetables." Guidao turned to look at the flower room.

I want to mention the Japanese navy’s food issue. I am afraid that everyone has heard this statement. The old Japanese Imperial Navy’s food standard was so high that later generations said that the Yamato Hotel and the Musashi Hotel circulated.

There is no exaggeration to say this. Compared with the hard-pressed Japanese army, the navy really eats a lot more. Another thing to add is that the food for Japanese naval officers and lower-level soldiers is completely different, and it can even be described as a huge difference.

Everyone knows that the Japanese Navy has been following the British Royal Navy as an example since the day of its establishment. The biggest feature of the British Royal Navy is the aristocratization of officers. Therefore, the daily meals of Japanese navy officers are all It was formulated according to the standards of the British Navy.

In fact, when the army was on the mainland, there was not much difference between the food and the navy. Japanese army soldiers could eat meat, vegetables, canned food, various fruits, coffee or tea, various desserts, sake and cigarettes every day. It's not a big fish, but it's much better than living in the country. At that time, the three meals a day for ordinary Japanese farmers were brown rice with miso soup and at most pickled pickles. The luxury of meat was only available during the Chinese New Year.

But after the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese army went to the Chinese mainland, and supplies had to cross the ocean to be transported from the mainland to the battlefield. In the beginning, in order to reduce transportation costs, most of the Japanese Army ordered the troops to requisition food on the spot, which, to put it bluntly, grabbed it from the local Chinese people. At first they were able to "collect" some grain, but when the stock of grain in the hands of the Chinese people was robbed, the local "collection" became a piece of empty paper. In addition to staple food, a large number of non-staple food supplies still need to be deployed and purchased from China, and transported to the Chinese battlefield across the ocean.

The supply cost of the Japanese army has gradually increased with the extension of the front, so that the same food cost, the cost of the army is several times higher than that of the navy, so of course it is impossible to continue to maintain the level of the domestic garrison period.

The sailors on Japanese naval battleships have no problem of supply wastage at all, so every dime of their meals is spent on the purchase of food supplies, plus the convenience of dispatching local supplies, so until At the end of the war, the standards before the war could still be maintained.

Of course, there are also more unlucky ones, such as the island garrison under the navy. When the maritime supply line was cut off by the US army, they suffered the same hungry damage as the army on the island.

The submarine is a special ship in the Japanese Navy. Because of the special conditions, the food standard for the crew was separately formulated by the Ministry of the Navy. From Taisho to Showa 15 years, the standard has been changed three times.

Because of the special internal environment of the submarine, it is often in a state of high temperature and high humidity. At the same time, the air pressure in the cabin changes greatly during submerging, and the cooking conditions are also harsh. These are huge differences from surface ships. Of course, you cannot copy the supply menu of surface ships. .

The food supply on Japanese submarines is very different from that on surface ships. For example, for Japanese sailors’ staple rice, the submarine must be equipped with hard rice that is not easily damp~IndoMTL.com~ and the inner layer of the rice bag is still Put a layer of greased paper to prevent moisture. At the same time, in addition to the wheat and rice used to cook traditional navy rice, the submarine also carried a large amount of canned rice.

This is prepared to make it impossible to cook rice in the kitchen pressure cooker during snorkeling. These canned rice are mainly glutinous rice cooked with a lot of sugar and red beans, which is the Japanese favorite red bean rice. To be honest, the sailors are right This kind of canned feeling is difficult to describe in words, because even if it is the delicacy of mountains and seas, you will get tired of eating it every day, but if anyone says that he can't eat this kind of red bean rice, he will definitely be condemned.

The varieties of vegetables on Japanese submarines are not too monotonous. There are various fruits, potatoes and radishes, as well as various dehydrated vegetables and canned vegetables, such as canned bamboo shoots and bean sprouts.

I have brought several cartons of Nerima white radish on the Iraqi No.60. If you want to evenly give it to the people of the country, it should not have much impact on the future voyage, and the people of the country are still willing to trade bacon. I don't know how the unique bacon tastes.

"Captain Robin, before exchanging supplies, can you allow us to enter your submarine for a visit, although I know it's a bit too much, but this is a long-time dream of me." Guidao tried his best to make his own smile He seemed sincere, but the trembling corners of his eyes completely exposed the tension in his heart.

"Of course, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel." Captain Robin replied simply, and without even thinking about it for a second, he agreed to Guidao's request.

"Thank you very much!" Guidao hurriedly sat upright and leaned to thank Robin solemnly.
