- The Weiyueyan class has a surface displacement of 2,500 tons and an underwater displacement of 300 tons. It is 90 meters long and 9 meters wide and can accommodate 40 guided torpedoes or 23 torpedoes and 12 mines at the same time.
There are 6 torpedo launch tubes on the bow. Because it is equipped with a special hydraulic torpedo system, the torpedo assembly time can be shortened and the torpedo firing speed is also faster.
In addition, because it is equipped with the latest power system, the top speed of the Weiyueyan class on the water reaches 15.6 knots, and when using an electric motor, it reaches 17.9 knots. As for the underwater speed, it has also reached 12.7 knots.
This situation occurs because the Wei Yueyan is completely designed for underwater combat, rather than the previous submarine that only dived to attack and avoid surface ship attacks. In particular, the simplified and streamlined structure of the hull has increased the speed of the Wei Yueyan class.
In addition, due to the large displacement, the interior of the Weiyueyan-class boat is very spacious, instead of being as narrow as ordinary submarines, which makes people almost breathless. The crew can also get a full rest and play their full role in the submarine. It has stronger combat effectiveness than other submarines.
Therefore, in this era, the Weiyueyan class is definitely the most powerful submarine.
Especially when paired with a sufficient number of guided torpedoes, it is a pity
"such a pity…"
Looking at at least half of the Japanese ships smoking on the sea, Liu Yun sighed.
Although Wei Yueyan's performance is already very strong, he is just a submarine after all. It cannot be like an airplane that can reach the designated theater in a very short time.
Although the information that the Japanese were preparing to withdraw to Australia came quickly and the route was quickly determined, it was still impossible to transport a sufficient number of Weiyueyan-class submarines from China to the Indian Ocean in a short time. to things.
Therefore, in the end, when there was no other option, the Navy could only order more than a dozen Weiyueyan-class ships operating in the Philippine waters to pass through the Strait of Malacca and head to the Indian Ocean to ambush
Originally, there was nothing wrong with doing this. The key was that these dozen Wei Yueyan-class ships were too active during the battle, and the Wei Yueyan-class ships also performed more than just hunting missions. Many times, they also had to go to Japanese ports to perform minelaying tasks.
Therefore, there are not many guided torpedoes in the Philippine naval base.
In the end, they had no choice but to follow the conventional configuration. Set out with 23 torpedoes and 12 mines.
“If all 40 torpedoes are brought, and 6 torpedo tubes are added for a total of 46, perhaps Liu Yun’s submarine formation can really sink all the Japanese ships on the sea and let them truly sink to the bottom of the sea.
But now, Yun can only watch the torpedo reserves getting smaller and smaller
————————————————————
After Liu Yun's Sea Wolf force had consumed all its ammunition, the original transport fleet consisting of more than 20 warships and transport ships on the sea was still floating intact, and there were only a few ships left. Already…
The remaining ones were either badly damaged or had sunk to the bottom of the sea.
Correspondingly, only two Weiyueyan-class submarines on Liu Yun's side were captured by Japanese escort ships. And it was sunk by Japanese depth charges
Although two submarines were bombed and sunk, these losses were too insignificant compared with the Japanese losses.
Even if the Japanese did not sink two divisions this time, they would still lose at least one division.
But having said that, the power of the wire-guided torpedo was indeed beyond the expectations of Liu Yun and others.
Unlike the direct-navigation torpedoes of the past, and the acoustic homing torpedoes that made a splash in the Philippines some time ago, the hit rate of wire-guided torpedoes is obviously much higher.
Especially in terms of anti-interference, the noise jammer newly equipped by the Japanese did not play any role at all.
"Let's go. Go back to the base. Let the next wave of people do the next thing"
After taking a final look at the sea with the periscope, Liu Yun said to Qi Lin.
"yes!"
When Liu Yun and others left the sea, the Japanese were still patrolling and searching for and rescuing on the sea.
But it was at this time that a large number of underwater creatures appeared
"shark!!!"
Shark is the general name for a group of elasmobranch fish, a branch of cartilaginous fish. It is an ancient fish that first appeared in the Silurian Period 420 million years ago. About 440 different species have evolved so far, including approximately 5 orders and 20 families. They have a highly streamlined, swim-friendly appearance. The whole body is covered with shield scales, which not only protect the shark from being injured or parasitized. It can also be enhanced??'s hydrodynamic force allows them to swim faster. There are 57 gill slits on the side of the shark's body for breathing. They have several sets of replaceable teeth. Sharks are the top predators in the water food chain. Different species have different foods. Some are carnivorous and can eat seals, turtles and even people, while some only filter feed plankton. The largest ones are up to 20 meters long, and the smallest ones are only 20 meters long. More than 10 centimeters.
The sense organs of sharks are very sensitive and can even smell the smell of blood several kilometers away. They have the ability to sense electricity and can detect prey hidden under the sand.
At the same time, there are also some sharks that can move in the back and fresh water at the same time, such as bull sharks.
This time, the Japanese provoked bull sharks
The bull shark, also known as the white shark or the bull shark, is called the Zambezi shark and the Nicaraguan shark in Africa and Nicaragua respectively. It is a common shark in warm and shallow coastal waters. The most unique thing about the bull shark is its unpredictable behavior.
Unlike other marine sharks, bull sharks can move in fresh water. They can be found in rivers. As a result, they are almost always responsible for nearshore attacks on humans, including many cases attributed to other species.
The bull shark’s name comes from its stocky body, broad flat snout, and unpredictable aggressive behavior. In India, bull sharks are commonly known as Sundarbans or Ganges sharks and are a delicacy in Bengali fish curry.
Bull sharks are common in warm coastal areas, rivers and lakes, fresh or salt water. In the Atlantic Ocean, they can be found from Massachusetts to southern Brazil and from Morocco to Angola. In the Indian Ocean, they are found from South Africa to Kenya, India, Vietnam to Australia.
Bull sharks can be docile, but can become excited suddenly. They are highly aggressive and have even attacked racehorses in the Brisbane River in Queensland, Australia. They are extremely territorial and will attack other invading creatures. Including humans. Bull sharks, along with great white sharks, weasel sharks and oceanic whitetip sharks, are the four most dangerous sharks. In 1916, a great white shark was initially thought to be the culprit in a shark attack in Matawan. It later inspired the movie Jaws, but the incident appears to have been caused by one or more bull sharks.
At the same time, many experts believe that bull sharks are responsible for many fatalities in Port Jackson, and most of these cases are believed to be caused by great white sharks. In India, bull sharks live in the Ganges River. They also kill and injure large numbers of lives, and they also eat dead bodies placed by Indians on the river.
What appeared this time were these vicious sharks that usually appear in the waters near India
“Shoot, shoot quickly!!!”
I saw sharks one after another, stimulated by the smell of blood, starting to attack the Japanese soldiers who fell into the water. The Japanese soldiers on the ships that were still able to float on the water began to shout loudly
Soon, intensive gunshots rang out on the sea.
Although it was severely damaged by Liu Yun and his party, even the troop transport ship had certain self-defense weapons. What's more, although heavy equipment is loaded on separate ships, individual weapons such as rifles are always carried with them.
However, after weapons such as rifles enter the water, their lethality is greatly reduced. Machine guns such as the Phalanx of later generations basically lose their lethality after entering the water 10 meters deep. Not to mention weapons like Sanba Daigai. Fortunately, if a shark wants to attack people, it will always surface.
And the Japanese soldiers on the ship. I also took this opportunity to shoot these damn sharks
————————————————————
What Liu Yun doesn’t know is. Although he eliminated a considerable number of Japanese troops this time, it was only one division at most. What was left was mostly weapons and equipment, and
It is also known as methamphetamine, which has a slightly bitter taste and is white or colorless. It is in crystal or powder form and is easily soluble in water. With a purity of over 95%, it is a synthetic stimulant phenylethylamine. Can cause the body to produce a strong sense of pleasure. And addictive. This substance exhibits enantiomerism, which is left-handed and right-handed respectively.
It was first synthesized by the chemist Nagai Nagayoshi in Japan in 1919. It is the product of ephedrine reduced by red phosphorus and iodine.
The chemical structure of amphetamine is very similar. Amphetamine was first successfully synthesized in 1887 by Romanian chemist Lazaredeleanu. In modern times, amphetamine's use and social evaluation have shifted from contempt, to controversy, and now to abhorrence.
During World War II, the Allied Powers and the Axis Powers distributed it to the front line under the registered name of pervitin1 respectively. The Nazi Army widely distributed it to soldiers for stimulant purposes, especially to SS personnel and the Wehrmacht during the Soviet-German War. Hitler also injected himself with it, and Japan also gave soldiers methamphetamine to increase their combat effectiveness.
In addition, in 1962, methamphetamine was first used as an illegal drug and was banned by motorcycles in San Francisco.Created by the gang and distributed throughout the Pacific coast of the United States, the gang soon had a large number of imitators: the ingredients required were very common and easy to obtain, such as rubbing alcohol, lye, ephedrine and pseudoephedrine; the last one The species was available as an over-the-counter drug. As a result, workshop-style laboratories once produced a large number of illegal products.
Mexican gangs brought a lot of cheap goods into Mexico. "Ice," or crystallized blocks that can be put into a catheter and smoked, appeared in Hawaii in the 1980s and quickly spread to the continental United States, becoming the most popular type of drug. By 1980, non-medical use was proliferating. Among them, San Diego, California, is known as the “methamphetamine mecca” of North America.
Liu Yun and the others sank several warships that contained these things
In fact, if it weren’t for the help of those sharks, Liu Yun and the others might not be able to eliminate even one division
————————————————————
The news of the attack on the troop transport fleet quickly spread back to Japan.
However, the news returned by the captains of the attacked fleet was only that the Chinese Navy used a new type of torpedo, and there was no mention of wire-guided torpedoes. This is not surprising. After the torpedo hit it, it It exploded. What would be left after the exploded torpedo? Naturally, it was impossible for the Japanese to tell whether the explosion was an acoustic homing torpedo or a wire-guided torpedo.
On the other hand, when Liu Yun's fleet returned to the Philippines, the new submarine force had also arrived in Indian waters. Waiting for new prey to appear.
At the same time, the National Socialist Government has signed a treaty with Britain that will determine India’s future destiny——the Sino-British India Treaty
According to the treaty. India will be divided into seven independent countries, including Pakistan and Bangladesh. Of course, Sri Lanka is not included. There are still many zero-to-zero agreements.
And in order to get the UK to agree to this. The National Socialist Government also made many concessions.
For example, it promises not to station troops in any of the seven countries in India, while allowing these seven countries to remain in the Commonwealth of Nations, etc
Yan Guang didn’t attach much importance to these, so he nodded in agreement.
After all, for Yan Guang, the most important thing is to eliminate the threats that India may bring in the future. India, which is divided into seven parts, obviously cannot pose any threat to China.
As for no troops and the Commonwealth?
When the time comes, it’s not up to you to decide whether to station troops or not? What's more, as long as we control Sri Lanka, it doesn't matter whether we station troops in India or not.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If it were to garrison the army, it would be better to just garrison it. When it came to the Suez Canal, didn’t Britain and France also want to interfere? As a result, the United States and the Soviet Union just said a word, and they didn't leave in despair?
In addition to the Commonwealth, Australia and Canada were also Commonwealth countries in later generations. The problem is that after the twenty-first century, they are not so much a Commonwealth country. It would be more accurate to say that they are a federal country of the United States.
Australia has become a close ally of the United States in later generations. Canada almost wears the same pants as the United States. As for the British suzerainty? Later, it was only on the same level as these two former colonies.
If the UK could not play the role of a troublemaker in Europe and also have a vote in the United Nations, maybe the UK would not be as good as Canada and Australia in the eyes of the United States
Therefore, it is okay to agree to those seven new countries to stay in the Commonwealth. Anyway, these seven countries are under your nose, and it will be fine to have a little influence when the time comes. And things like the Commonwealth. Just like the EU, if you can join, you can also withdraw
Wait five or six years. When World War II was over, these seven countries were allowed to withdraw from the Commonwealth. Just join the China League
On the other hand, Churchill was not unaware of this, but he was confident that the United States would be on his side after the war ended
In 1946, after World War II, Churchill visited the United States.
During that visit he delivered his famous Iron Curtain speech at Westminster College in Missouri. “From Szczecin on the Baltic Sea to Trieste on the Adriatic Sea, an iron curtain has been drawn across the European continent.”
At that time, this speech was severely criticized by the media, because the relationship between the Soviet Union and Western countries had not yet broken down, and many people regarded Churchill as a warmonger. But what about today? In the end, the United States did not stand with the United Kingdom.
The same is true now. Although China and its allies are still allies, the relationship has not broken down. But Churchill knew very well that when the war was over, China would??'s major member states have caused extremely strong friction.
The reason is very simple. China has gained too many benefits in this war, and many of these benefits belong to allied member states.
For example, French Indochina in France, the Philippines and Hawaii in the United States, Indonesia in the Netherlands, the Malay Peninsula in the United Kingdom, India, Myanmar, and Hong Kong
These places used to belong to Britain, France, the United States and other countries, but now they have become China’s sphere of influence
Now during the war, allies will naturally not conflict with their own allies first, but what about after the war is over? Are member states of an allied country willing to have their interests encroached upon by another country?
By that time, Churchill would naturally be confident that he would win the United States to his side.
In fact, after Germany began to retreat step by step into its own territory, Churchill had already begun to consider the issue of restoring Germany's strength after the war.
If Russia were not a "hammer and sickle" country, Churchill even considered whether to draw Russia in to contain China.
It’s just that Churchill hated the ‘hammer and sickle doctrine’ even more than China, so naturally this was an impossible idea
No matter what, in the end the [Sino-British India Treaty] was successfully signed in Beijing, and India was determined to be divided into seven countries after the war.
Regarding this treaty, some people are happy and some are worried. Although many Indians believe that India should be a unified country, there are also many Indians who are not interested in the current India.
On the other hand, when the news of the signing of the treaty came out, Gandhi, who had been in Beijing for a long time, looked sadly at the sky outside the signing venue.
Although in the eyes of pedestrians, the sky in Beijing is very blue, in the eyes of Gandhi, it is gray (To be continued.)
