Regardless of their position, the same navy members will always have a lot of common language. The Japanese Imperial Navy learns from Britain and France, and the technical cooperation between Germany and Japan in the navy is not much.
To be honest, the Imperial Japanese Navy was not very optimistic about the German Navy before the war, because the German Navy was simply unable to compete with the powerful Royal Navy in terms of quantity or tonnage.
However, the reality has slapped the experts of the Japanese Navy. In the Battle of Dunkirk, the main force of the local fleet was destroyed in the first battle, and then German submarines and raid ships ravaged the Atlantic route. The powerful British Empire turned a blind eye. As he was strangled, he couldn't come up with any solution.
The European war really opened the eyes of the Japanese. With the brilliant victories, the status of the German Navy has also risen rapidly in the hearts of Japanese naval officers and soldiers. It is necessary for them to see a realistic example of defeating the strong by the weak.
Who would have believed that the empire’s dozen or so giant ships were wiped out in half a year. The commander-in-chief of the Third Reich Navy, Marshal Raidel, was regarded as a mastermind in the Japanese navy, and the charge was ahead. The commander of the new High Seas Fleet, Lütjens, was sought after by the instructors of the Jiangtian Island Naval Academy as a rare genius admiral in a century and a Nelson-like example of the navy.
The sea ambush in the Faroe Islands was regarded as the most classic ambush by the Japanese Navy, and the head of the Education Department even requested that it be included in the latest edition of the naval tactical textbook.
The Japanese nation is accustomed to worshiping the strong, defeating the German Navy of the British Empire and winning the unanimous respect of the Japanese Navy. The German Navy has used a large number of new weapons and new tactics on the European battlefield. Although many of them are not replicable, they have also given the Japanese Navy a lot of new enlightenment. They have begun to comprehensively study the maritime battles in European wars and hope to learn from them. One and a half tricks can be used against powerful neighbors on the other side of the Pacific.
The pressure of the U.S. Navy on the Japanese combined fleet is too great. Half a year ago, no one in the navy dared to say that they were sure of winning, but the miraculous rise of the German navy gave the Japanese navy hope. Now that the Germans can overcome An enemy that is several times stronger, then the Japanese Navy, which is not too far behind the US Navy, will certainly succeed.
Be aware that the German Navy is facing the Royal Navy, which has first-class generals, first-class ships, and first-class training. Compared with this veteran maritime power, the group of free and loose American uncles across the Pacific is simply a group Snot Boy Scout.
On the deck of the [Prince Eugen], Japanese naval officers looked up at Colonel von Hertz in front of him with adoring eyes. This was the heroic captain who had participated in almost all surface battles in the European war. If you don’t believe me, you can count the medals on his chest.
Look at the so-called achievements of the Imperial Japanese Navy in the past ten years. They all come from the weak Republican navy. Compared with the captain who participated in the battle line battle of the fleet, those feats are not worth mentioning. .
The Japanese navy is not without confidence. The equipment and strength of their combined fleet far exceeds that of the newly emerging German navy. However, in the long run, the Great German Empire will become the hegemon of Europe, as long as the head of state is willing to overtake Japan. It's just a matter of time.
I heard that for the heavy cruiser under our feet, Germany placed eight orders in one go. This is equivalent to building four heavy cruisers at once, and this is not the only naval order. The Germans’ wealth has reached outrageously. Point.
They also heard that Germany is working with the United Kingdom to develop a newer class of battleship. The specific data is still unclear. In theory, it should exceed Germany's existing main battleship [Bismarck]. The intelligence department of the Japanese Navy estimates that the major European powers will regain their original naval power in four to five years. Once they are united, they will have an overwhelming advantage over the Japanese combined fleet. Therefore, the longer the time for the southward advancement plan, the longer it will be for the Japanese Empire The more unfavorable the strategic goals.
"Hi! Reinhardt! Welcome to the [Prince Eugen], Your Excellency, I am the captain of this battleship, Colonel Christian von Hertz." Von Hertz lowered his head to lead the team Lieutenant General Tanimoto raised his hand.
"I am the commander of the First Fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy, Mataro Tanimoto." Tanimoto raised his hand and returned a Japanese navy salute.
Speaking of this, the author would like to mention that, in general terms, the military etiquette should be the same for the armed forces of the same country, even if they have different military types. However, the battle between the Japanese navy and the army is protracted. Both sides strive to be different from each other in various details. Of course, it is not surprising that the military salutes are very obvious. The Japanese army and navy have very obvious differences in military salute attitudes.
The army salute is not much different from the western salute. The upper arm extends to the side, and the lower arm and palm are slanted toward the forehead. The Japanese naval military salute is to extend the upper arm obliquely forward, and the lower arm and palm are retracted to the forehead position. The reason given by the navy to the outside is that the internal aisle of the ship is narrow, and the military salute to the army can easily block other people's actions. In fact, this It's just an excuse to differentiate from the Army. (There are also performances in early Japanese movies. In recent years, Japanese movies have paid little attention to these details. Wearing a navy officer’s uniform but respecting the army salute, this was impossible at the time because the guys who dared to do so were In the Naval Academy, senior students were beaten to death with a "Navy Spirit Infusion Stick".)
Tanimoto visited Europe and the United States for a year. He speaks fluent English, and his accent is not heavy. Von Hertz's English is good, and the two sides can communicate in English completely, which saves a lot of onboard translation.
Usually, when guests board the ship, of course, they must first enter the reception room on the ship. The host will bring a good wine or refreshment. After the two parties sit down and chat with each other, the host will lead the ship to visit the various places of the ship. The Japanese pay special attention to this aspect of etiquette, and Tanimoto also specially brought gifts to the captain, a bottle of Japanese wine and two boxes of sweet desserts.
Von Hertz took them along the deck to the officer’s lounge under the bridge. The [Prince Eugen] was designed as a fleet flagship with a full set of headquarters facilities. The German Navy is also prepared for this kind of foreign affairs activities, customizing a bunch of souvenirs, such as silver plates engraved with the emblem of the ship or cigarette cases with the emblem of the German navy eagle.
After the host and guest took their seats, the orderly soldiers presented cream snacks and black tea, and the guests presented gifts, and then the two parties began a cordial conversation. The atmosphere at the scene seemed very harmonious. Tanimoto introduced the entourage to von Hertz and greeted the owner again. The Germans also offered a bunch of compliments that they had admired for a long time. Anyway, the person who said it was not a serious matter and listened well. People also laughed.
The German Navy and the Japanese Navy didn’t have much exchanges before, and Raidel didn’t like foreign naval personnel to board his precious ships. The current Japanese naval officers boarded the ship for a visit. This is really the first time for the [Prince Eugen] .
Xu Jun sent this warship to Asia, but it was not a hot idea. It is the most suitable ship for the Japanese in the German naval fleet.
If he wants to show off his strength, he can come up with a more powerful [Gneisenau] or [Admiral Scheer]. If he wants to show off his achievements, he can also send those captured British and French battleships, such as 【Nelson】, that’s the Big Seven alongside the flagship of the United Fleet.
But Xu Jun only chose [Prince Eugen], mainly because this warship exposed its technical level and would not give the Japanese too much excitement. Another reason is that this warship possesses the kind of legend. Good luck.
The difference between the [Auspicious] ships of Japan’s pit companions is that [Prince Eugen] is a pure lucky ship, and not only is she lucky, but also often blessed with her companions. Anyway, the battleship that was dispatched with her , As long as she was present, nothing happened. In history, if the prime minister still took the prince with him, the outcome is likely to be very different.
This warship was accused by naval enthusiasts in later generations as a model of German waste of tonnage. It was a warship with a full load of 19,000 tons, but its main armor belt was much thinner than similar heavy cruisers in Japan and the United States. Proof of serious discrepancy between defense and tonnage.
But they forgot that the German warship had its own tactical needs. The senior German navy was not an ignorant stupid. The size of the German fleet meant that this heavy cruiser was not meant to be used to fight against other heavy cruisers. In fact, their positioning was the same as all the German surface ships at that time, as large long-range assault ships.
Unlike the heavy cruiser of [Scharnhorst], the [Hippel] class targets light cruisers and destroyers escorting the fleet.
As a breaker ship, it is impossible to return to the base frequently. In order to gain combat endurance, the German navy will add heavy armor to her turret and command tower, striving to withstand the bombardment of the light cruiser-level main artillery. To make the 25mm thin shell turret of the Japanese navy heavy patrol, one destroyer’s shell can make it incapable of combat. At that time, it can only be returned to the domestic port for repairs, as a long-term transportation route for the enemy. It is obviously an issue that cannot be tolerated for the time-breaking ship.
The hull structure of [Prince Eugen] is actually not much worse than that of the early dreadnoughts. Her defensive power is sufficient to deal with any British and French light cruisers, and its firepower can be against most heavy cruisers~IndoMTL.com ~Strong air defense equipment can ensure that she will not fight back when passing through the enemy's air zone. The high speed allows her the ability to quickly intersect and intercept the enemy fleet. She is a killing weapon carefully crafted by the German Navy. It is not the shoddy product that some people talk about wasting tonnage.
This is a warship that is only suitable for the German Navy's tactical thinking. If compared with those heavy cruisers who are dedicated to fighting the fleet, the data is really not very good. There are many experts in the Japanese Navy. They will definitely look for the "defects" of this warship and use this to judge the technical level of the German Navy. If this goal can be achieved, one part of Xu Jun's deception tactics will be successful. Up.
The two sides then talked about the European battle, especially when the Japanese mentioned the Faroe Islands ambush, which was the itch of von Hertz. Of course, the German navy colonel would not be humble. The captain was holding black tea like a storyteller. In front of a group of Japanese navy officers, talking about the thrills and mysteries, all the Japanese were stunned and stunned.
