Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 227: Insights (in)

Robin did not deliberately want to spy on the secrets of Japanese submarines, because the Japanese submarine forces have no secrets at all in the eyes of the Germans. Not to mention these submarines that have been equipped with the fleet, even those models that currently only exist on the drawings, the German navy senior officials are well aware of them.

Every German submarine captain has a very dense ship identification roster, which contains the side view and all technical parameters of the Haida III submarine, so even if Robin finds something this time , At most it just proves that these data are not wrong.

However, it is still very meaningful to be able to conduct a field inspection. It is also a rare opportunity for the German Navy to be allowed to enter an active Japanese submarine. As mentioned earlier, Robin doesn’t care much about the technical parameters of this foreign submarine. He is more concerned about the morale of the Japanese navy and the training level of its officers and soldiers. These problems can be reflected in the cabin of a submarine. .

Robin is an experienced submarine commander. He knows how to turn a submarine full of rookie sailors into a ferocious killer lurking underwater. The technological development of weapons and equipment is very important, but just with advanced equipment and no suitable manpower to operate it, even the most technologically advanced submarine will have several discounts in combat effectiveness.

When Robin boarded U106, he had been a veteran who had served in the submarine force for many years. For these U-boats, these veterans even surpassed the experts who built them. With the rapid expansion of the German submarine force, more and more novices have been transferred to combat units. Many of the young U-boat captains have only been internships on a certain training boat for a few months before being hurriedly transferred to the military. On the cutting-edge submarine launched into the water. This situation is particularly serious in those vii submarine units, often from captains to subordinate officers and even grassroots sailors. Robin feels dizzy as new as their submarines.

Robin does not discriminate against rookies, he also came from a rookie step by step, but he would ridicule the captains who are obviously lacking in talent, especially those who are self-righteous and unpretentious, because of this command Officers usually kill the entire ship in combat.

Although the German U-boats had a brilliant record in the European War, they were not without losses. From the start of the war to the end, there were already double-digit German U-boats, and they could never return to their home port. And the number of survivors who were lucky enough to be rescued on these battle-damaged submarines accounted for less than one-seventh of the total number. Several U-boats and even the entire boat were killed in battle. If it weren’t for a detailed anti-submarine warfare report from the Royal Navy after the German victory, the family members of these people might even have their sons, brothers, and husbands killed in battle. I don't know where.

Robin has carefully studied the copy data sent by the Navy Submarine Commander. The report shows the performance of these submarines before and after the battle. Robin discovered that most of the U-shaped submarines that were sunk in the Atlantic were not Because of technical reasons, but because of mistakes in the command and crew operations, it is tantamount to personally sending myself to the mouth of an outdated British anti-submarine ship.

With the anti-submarine technology of British Royal Navy ships at that time, it is actually difficult to threaten advanced German U-boats. So as long as the captain’s IQ is on-line for sailing training, it should not be difficult to escape from the British anti-submarine ships.

Robin has always agreed with the statement on the German Navy submarine textbooks. Apart from equipment and technical issues, if a submarine wants to have combat effectiveness, in addition to an experienced team of officers with tacit cooperation, it also needs a group of well-trained and high morale. The grassroots sailors, when they are united into a united whole, there will be no difficulty preventing them from winning victory.

The first feeling left by Yi 60 to Robin is really good. The clean and tidy command cabin even made the captain sigh with emotion, and the layout of the cabin is completely different from that of the U-boat, such as The rectangular chart table in the middle of the cabin made Captain Robin even more interested. Why did the Japanese put a table in the middle of the busy command cabin? The German captain thought that the Japanese way of thinking is really hard to understand. What Captain Robin saw next gave him a more intuitive understanding of the Imperial Japanese Navy.

Accompanied by several Japanese officers, Robin and Igor went through the circular waterproof door and entered the front compartment of I60. Most of the submarines in the world have the same layout. This is also the Japanese crew’s. Daily work and life living cabin.

The closest to the command cabin is the important telecommunications and hydrophone cabin. Originally, these equipment were completely copied German models. They may be classified in the eyes of other navies, but they are nothing special to the Germans. So Robin and Igor looked around at the door and went back to salute the soldiers operating in the two cabins.

On the opposite side of the telecommunications room is the captain’s room, on the side is the officer’s dining room, and behind is the officer’s cabin. Except for the captain’s cabin, which has a wooden door, the other cabins are only covered by a brown cotton step curtain on the door frame.

Robin walked along the corridor. The interior of the Japanese submarine was cleaned quite clean. Hearing from Captain Hanabu, they would arrange soldiers to take charge of cleaning work. Usually, the captains of the cabins make arrangements according to the individual performance of the soldiers.

After visiting the non-commissioned officer’s cabin (here is the meaning of non-commissioned officer is military officer.), the two German officers entered the soldier accommodation area, which also made people feel a kind of mechanical order, just stacked in every corner of the cabin The supplies and sundries are a little bit horrible. It seems that submarines all over the world have the same habit of stacking supplies.

The Lieutenant Colonel Guijima did not lie. The Japanese submarine did not leave the port for a long time. It was different from the neatness and cleanliness of the officer’s cabin before. Various supplies packed in cartons and sacks were almost full of soldiers. cabin.

The Japanese seem to prefer to store items in cardboard boxes. Many boxes are also marked with naval supplies and other words in Japanese, indicating that these are special products manufactured by the Navy’s exclusive factory.

"This is our radish produced in Japan." A Japanese navy sergeant dragged a carton from the upper bunk of a hammock, with the words "Dagen" printed on it in black ink ("Dagen" is in Japanese. Refers to white radish, and carrots read and write in Japanese "ginseng~IndoMTL.com~ a box here is about fifteen kilograms." Hanfang introduced to the German, and then he motioned to the military commander to open the lid of the box, revealing the inside. Fresh white radish tied with a rope.

"As I said before, we will give you five boxes of this kind of carrots, Captain Robin. I forgot to ask, in your Germany, do you Germans also eat carrots?" Guidao interjected curiously.

"Of course we eat radishes. My mother likes to use it to cook vegetable soup and drink it. Some people stew it with pork. The taste is quite good." Robin replied seriously.

Of course Germans eat radishes. Germanic barbarians have been growing radishes since Roman times. Before potatoes were introduced to Germany, radishes were once the main food of the Germans. After potatoes began to grow in large areas in Germany, radishes gradually changed from a staple food to a vegetable.

Because of the lack of preservation methods, almost every family in Germany was able to pickle kimchi well at the time. Pickled radishes and pickled cucumbers were the most common foods in German families. Anyone would pick up ten or eight bottles.

In the great famine that broke out in Germany at the end of the First World War, because food was supplied to the army, hundreds of thousands of German civilians in Germany died because of hunger, and the Germans who survived will never forget those used When all kinds of beans and radishes filled their hunger, it can be said that radishes saved the lives of thousands of German people.

"Five boxes of white radishes, for five boxes of canned sardines." Robin turned his head and said to Igor, while the deputy captain shrugged his shoulders and nodded.
