Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 224: Visit and exchange (in)
Although it is the end of the year, the temperature in the cabin of U106 in the low-latitude sea area at this time is still over 27 degrees Celsius. The heat mainly comes from the two large diesel engines in the power compartment. At this time, the submarine has turned off the power and opened all the vents, but because the sea is calm and windless at the moment, the heat dissipation effect is not very obvious. The sun shone on the German U-shaped submarine, and the steel hull and front and rear decks were hot.
The German U-XIB boat was not prepared to install a large area of teak deck during the design. Most of the upper deck is a steel deck structure, and the remaining area is replaced with steel brackets, drain holes and resin corrosion protection. Coated large pine planks, Japanese submarines completely retain the tradition of Japanese navy surface ships, and the entire deck is covered with a teak deck with a water leak in the middle.
In terms of firmness and non-slip performance, Japanese teak decks are obviously better than German U-boats with open-hole pine boards, but they also increase the difficulty of daily maintenance for sailors and the risk of fire during surface combat. At the same time, after the damaged deck debris in the anti-submarine warfare floats to the surface of the sea, it will reveal its approximate position underwater to the enemy's anti-submarine unit. This consequence is often fatal, especially in the hands of the opponent. When anti-submarine means.
The Germans adopted this technique, probably just to reduce the cost of construction. The German submarine force had a small budget from the beginning of shipbuilding, and the priority of materials was also very low, and whether it was a full-covered teak deck Both materials and processing are relatively more expensive, and more shipbuilding man-hours are consumed.
In history, only a part of Type VII submarines have adopted strip-shaped teak decks. This is also due to cost considerations, because strip-shaped decks are easier to repair and replace at sea after damage. Type VII was the German U-boat force at the time. The main boat type of the U.S. has a high level of confrontation with the enemy's anti-submarine forces, and is often strafed by enemy air units. Of course, deck damage is more frequent than other types.
Because he was wearing a regular uniform, Kijima Nakasa began to see sweat on his forehead, but he couldn't care about the heat and cold anymore, and he was only wondering what the Germans meant by doing this. Why do you want to cover the meter with paint, so that you are on guard? That being the case, why did the Germans allow themselves to enter the cabin? This is really illogical. If it is as they think, then why should the Germans be wary of the Japanese soldiers? Are they already hostile to Japan? This is the attitude of the German government or just the idea of the German navy, or the idea of an officer on this submarine. Guidao stared at the vaguely painted instrument glass, but he was thinking about a bunch of questions quickly in his heart.
"Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, do you have any questions?" The voice of the German captain heard in his ears, interrupting the turbulent thoughts of Nakazu Kishima.
"Ah...this..." Guidao didn't know how to mention it, if the other party didn't mean that, wouldn't he appear rude.
Precisely because of this concern, Guidao didn't get started to wipe the German appearance, otherwise he might be able to change his name to Heihachiro Kishima. Takashima Osamu asked himself that he couldn’t compare to the navy god. Dingyuan’s main gun muzzle was more than three meters high from the deck. People put white gloves into it and touched it. No wonder Dongxiang became a navy marshal and replaced it with someone else. With that ability, at least he can become a famous basketball player. (A series of rumors about Dongxiang and Dingyuan began with a flattery made up by the subordinate Major General Ogasawara Changsheng. It was originally used to tout the wise sacred martial arts of Master Togo, and the original version said it was the Pingyuan. Dingyuan immediately derives more than a dozen versions, which have been extolled by the people since the Republic of China, which is really a very speechless thing)
"Oh, this is what you want to ask." Robin reached out his finger and wiped one of the instrument dials.
"It's butter." The captain showed his finger to Guidao and Huafang.
"It turned out to be butter..." Guidao and Hanabo made a sudden realization.
"Wait for a while, what I want to know is not what you put on it!" Guidao roared in his heart, but still kept a polite smile on his face.
"But why do you paint this?" Hanabo asked Guidao the most wanted question at this time. The commander of the diving team instantly increased his favorability with the only captain by 50 points. If you have a girl in Guidao, ask them to get married when you go back.
"Why do you want to put butter on the surface?" Captain Robin suddenly showed a puzzled expression: "Of course it is for training? Don't you know this?"
The two Japanese navy officers shook their heads blankly, and the German captain's expression changed from doubt to surprise.
"Does your Japanese navy train like this?" The German captain's eyes widened. It seems that the Japanese navy doesn't know this practice. What an incredible thing.
The two Japanese continued to shake their heads with a bit embarrassed expression. The German captain did not look like a pretend, which made them feel like two soil buns.
"This is conducting'unmarked navigation and combat training for the crew of the submarine command module in an abnormally damaged environment'." Captain Robin said scorchingly.
"He said abnormal...what?"
"I only heard training without much."
The two Japanese navies whispered to each other in a low voice. Although they didn't understand at all, they felt like they were very powerful.
"Sorry, Captain Robin...can you repeat it again, it's that abnormal...whatever." Guidao blushed and asked, this is really shameful, he said. So clear.
"It doesn't matter, Lieutenant Colonel, it's "unmarked navigation and combat training for the crew of the submarine command module in an abnormally damaged environment." Captain Robin is a kind German, he did not hesitate to satisfy his Japanese friends Requirements.
"It seems they really don't know this, captain, let's take the guests to the next cabin." Lieutenant Igor said, his expression looked a little stiff.
"No, no, no, we are not in a hurry, please be sure to tell us about this kind of training, we are very interested in it." Guidao sensed that the deputy captain seemed to want to divert his attention, and hurriedly asked loudly. .
Why should the topic of the captain be cut off in front of the guests? This is not something that a deputy captain should do. Then the answer is obvious, that is, the captain just said that he missed his mouth and leaked secrets that should not be leaked. .
"It doesn't matter, Igor, everyone is driving a submarine." Fortunately, Captain Robin is an open-minded and great man, and he rejected the proposal of the deputy captain.
"The inventor of this training method is the head of the Great German Empire..." Robin stood tall at this point.
"Oh, it turned out to be the Hall of Reinhard von Steide, the head of state of Germany." The Japanese suddenly stood in awe, who was the hero who conquered Europa.
In Japan, both the military and civilians are now extremely popular with the German capital, much more fanatical than the so-called star fans in later generations. This is just by virtue of the unparalleled looks, I don’t know how many Japanese women have been fascinated by them, how many Japanese boudoirs and young men who are pregnant...Ah, yeah...a girl, holding a photo of the German head of state with tears every night Into a dream.
The jealous Japanese men only dared to scream "Red Deer" secretly about this, and the women who were greedy for vain, as for the German head of state, it was to be put in a Buddhist altar. Military god, who dared to insult the head of state publicly, believe it or not, Tegatech came to arrest people that night.
I don’t know which sacred stick preached that the photos of this adult can bring martial arts, so many Japanese families bought the photos back and gave them to recruited recruits as amulets. I also heard from the frontline troops in China that putting the picture of this head of state in an iron hat (steel helmet) has the effect of driving away evil spirits.
"Veterans like us who have participated in European naval battles~IndoMTL.com~ have encountered enemy anti-submarine forces more than once, and have also suffered a lot of depth bomb attacks. U106 was lucky to survive, but there were also Many comrades in arms died in the vast Atlantic Ocean because of the injury of the ship.” Captain Robin said here with a heavy expression, and the two Japanese officers quickly showed grief in empathy.
"They died for the country. This is the glory of the navy." Guidao comforted.
"You are right, Lieutenant Colonel, they are all heroes of the motherland." Robin nodded firmly.
"The imperial head of state invented this training method to train our sailors. When the submarine's navigational instruments are accidentally damaged, they can still operate the submarine to sail normally, and even launch a counterattack against the enemy. Our slogan is "Don't abandon ! Not give up! "". The German captain raised his right arm solemnly.
"Hi! Reinhardt!" The next moment all officers and soldiers stood at attention and saluted.
