Politicians are like this. They clearly want to kill each other, but they still have to smile and chat with their opponents over wine. On the second day after Fang Jianxiong arrived in Japan, the photo of him clinking glasses with Hirota Koki at a cocktail party swept the headlines of newspapers in Tokyo.

.

The Chinese media is not to be outdone. Numerous domestic newspapers, large and small, have sent or specially invited reporters to cover the matter in Tokyo. Sino-Japanese friendship has become the mainstream in newspapers. It seems that Sino-Japanese relations have been very good over the years. It seems that the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1899, Qingdao

There has never been a war. China and Japan want to be friendly anyway.

More exciting news is yet to come. After their meeting, Fang Jianxiong and Hirota Koichi appeared in a press release together and announced to the world's media that "after friendly consultations, China and Japan will sign a new treaty -"

China-Japan Non-Confrontation Treaty, which stipulates that in the next three years, neither China nor Japan will engage in military confrontation with each other."

To put it bluntly, this is a variant of Sino-Japanese non-aggression, which stipulates that no war will break out between China and Japan within three years. As for what will happen after three years, who knows? It may not take three years, but one party will tear up the treaty.

, "A treaty is not meant to be torn up." This was the clear statement of the German Prime Minister before the outbreak of World War I. It seems that Fang Jianxiong also said the same to a group of important officials in private, but in a question sentence "Isn't a treaty meant to be torn up?"

Are you here to tear it up?"

After the friendly tune was sung, a muscle-flexing program was performed. Nagato is the world's first battleship with a main gun of more than 400 mm, and has always been Japan's most proud display of strength. Japan has always claimed that Nagato

The Nagato is the most powerful battleship in the world and a spiritual symbol of protecting Japan. The Nagato was delivered to the Japanese Navy on November 25, 1920. It can be said that it was a very awesome thing at the time. In comparison, the Chinese Navy

The Hunan-class battleship delivered last year had a main gun caliber of only 365mm. This is why the Japanese Navy believes that it has a huge advantage. The Chinese shipbuilding capabilities still cannot be compared with Japan, at least that is what Japan thinks.

From 1934 to 1936, the battleship Nagato underwent large-scale modernization, including raising the elevation of the main gun to increase the range of the main gun; strengthening the protective armor of the hull and turret, and adding anti-torpedo protruding compartments in the middle of the hull;

The linear shape was improved to reduce navigation resistance and the stern of the ship was extended; a new type of dedicated heavy oil boiler was replaced. Due to the reduction in the number of boilers, the buckling chimney was removed, and the boiler exhaust was merged into one chimney from two chimneys; a tower ship was built based on the experience of refitting King Kong-class battleships.

bridge; the anti-aircraft firepower was strengthened, and all torpedo launch tubes were cancelled. In addition, an aircraft catapult was installed and three reconnaissance aircraft were installed. The main engine was not replaced during this modernization modification, and the speed was reduced to 25 knots after modification.

What Fang Jianxiong was invited to visit was the refitted Nagato. Yamamoto Isoroku, a representative of the Japanese navy, personally led a group of Japanese naval generals to greet him at the dock. For this man who defeated the Japanese army on land and used submarines to defeat the Japanese navy

Yamamoto Isoroku, the founder of the Chinese Army who suffered a lot of losses, did not feel disgusted in his heart. Instead, he had a deep admiration. You may say he is a hero but cherishes heroes, or you may say it is something else. In short, under Yamamoto Isoroku

From our perspective, Fang Jianxiong is an incredible hero for being able to lead a weak agricultural country to where it is now able to have a place on the world stage. On the other hand, "My enemy is the enemy's hero."

This kind of emotion should not appear in soldiers. Soldiers and samurai can only admire their equally powerful opponents.

"Your Excellency, please accept my highest respect!" Isoroku Yamamoto took the lead in saluting, followed by a group of Japanese naval officers. Mitsumasa Yoneuchi, who was accompanying him, was secretly unhappy. Japan is a very wolfish nation.

In this way, only if you are strong enough, it will fear you. During the Qingdao War, the National Defense Force led by Fang Jianxiong, under the premise that the navy was almost negligible, used submarines to let the Japanese navy know that the Chinese could still resist at sea, instead of

Simply use shore artillery for defense.

Therefore, among the Japanese navy, the Chinese they hate the most is Fang Jianxiong, and they admire him the most. The opponents they most want to defeat at sea are Britain and the United States, and then China. After all, the navies of the two countries have not yet set up their battle formations in an upright manner.

It is normal for most Japanese naval officers, who still think in terms of decisive battle thinking like World War I, to look down on the Chinese navy. To look down upon is to look down on the Chinese navy. Today, this man has single-handedly developed the Chinese navy from a few ships to a battleship with a total tonnage of two

150,000 tons, aircraft carrier 100,000 tons, how long did it take? No one dares to look down on Fang Jianxiong, right?

Fang Jianxiong returned the gift very formally and said to Yamamoto Isoroku: "I have heard about the famous name for a long time, and I have always believed that General Yamamoto represents the highest level of generals in the Japanese Navy. The general is destined to determine the future of the Japanese Navy. And the Japanese Navy,

It determines the future of Japan! China and Japan have been bullied by the big guns and ships of the great powers for too long. Let’s work together in the future!”

Everyone felt that there was a strange feeling that Fang Jianxiong actually admired Isoroku Yamamoto so much. This was really abnormal, unreasonable, and unscientific. At this time, Fang Jianxiong was thinking of nothing else but the man who led Japan.

The navy severely damaged Japan's Pacific Fleet in the early days of World War II and was the commander of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet that swept across the Southeast Asia. This man was standing in front of him now. Although he was not tall, a pair of small eyes flashed with sharp light.

After a moment of astonishment, Yamamoto Isoroku felt like his opponent's gaze was penetrating everything, as if he was taking X-rays. His opponent seemed to know everything about him. This feeling is really bad. Out of politeness,

Yamamoto bowed slightly and made an invitation gesture: "Your Excellency, please board the ship!"

The base displacement of the Nagato after modification: 39,120 tons; the full load displacement: 42,850 tons. What is the concept? When you stand even tens of meters away and look up, it is difficult to see the top. It is like a ship floating on the sea.

The huge mountain, the muzzle of the 410 main gun, seems to be able to swallow everything. This is the most proud battleship of the Japanese Navy, and it is also the foundation of the Japanese Navy that the world dare not underestimate.

After boarding the battleship, Fang Jianxiong walked slowly and listened to the explanation. When he came to a main gun, Fang Jianxiong stopped, looked up at the long barrel and sighed: "Who would have thought that this was Japan seventeen years ago?"

Where are the built warships? Sea power in Asia depends on your country's navy." The implication is that matters on land will be left to China. If others say this, they will definitely be attacked by the Japanese.

.However, no one dared to refute what Fang Jianxiong said. Even Japan’s land minister, standing here, could only hold his nose and admit it. Although today’s Japanese army can form more than a hundred divisions within a year as long as it carries out general mobilization.

regiment, but what needs to be seen is that the Chinese Army can form two hundred new infantry divisions or more within a year, and the equipment is still superior to the Japanese army. The bravery that the Japanese like to show off most has already been reduced during the Qingdao War.

Being stepped on by the Chinese, let alone the Chinese Expeditionary Force proving itself in Europe, this is something the Japanese Army failed to do.

The pride of the Japanese navy is really leveraged! Let the army's horse dung eat shit! The unhappiness in the hearts of the Japanese naval generals present only flashed by. But the determination to defeat China and dominate Asia will not

Shaken! Peace and other matters are determined by cannons. No one will take the words of politicians seriously. Everyone present knows very well that if Japan is defeated on the battlefield, the Chinese will definitely be happy to kill Japan that falls into the well.

Throw another big stone on a person's forehead.

Going south, crises and opportunities coexist! The crisis is even greater, but Japan has no choice. This cannot but be said to be Japan's tragedy!

Fang Jianxiong, with the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, didn't care at all what the Japanese were thinking at the moment. He was walking slowly, counting slowly, 4 127mm twin anti-aircraft guns; 10 25mm triple anti-aircraft machine guns;

Carrier-based aircraft: 3. Is this kind of air defense capability? Not to mention compared with the Hunan class, any heavy cruiser out there will have stronger air defense capabilities than the Nagato. Looking at it this way, it is really exciting.

The decisive battle at sea between Japan and Japan! In fact, the Nagato had another modification. In parallel history, it was last modified on November 25, 1944: 4 41cm twin-mounted main guns; 18 12.7cm twin-mounted anti-aircraft guns; 128 25mm

Triple-mounted anti-aircraft machine guns; carrier-based aircraft had none. However, at that time, the Japanese Navy had been defeated by the US imperialism in the Pacific, and the battleships did not play a big role in previous naval battles.

Amid Fang Jianxiong's praise, the Japanese Navy's vanity was greatly satisfied. After the two-hour visit, when Yamamoto Isoroku watched Fang Jianxiong's motorcade leave, he said with a gloomy look: "I always feel something is not good, it seems.

He is very satisfied with the current situation of the Nagato, even more satisfied than we are." Fang Jianxiong would be very happy to hear this and said to Yamamoto Isoroku: "Yes, I am very satisfied. Especially with the air defense capabilities of the Nagato."

Very satisfied.”

Back at the hotel, Chen Fu came to the door. As the commander of the submarine force, Chen Fu was more concerned about the anti-submarine capabilities of the Japanese navy. Fortunately, Chen Fu asked some indirect questions during the visit.

, and found that the Japanese officers did not realize the importance of anti-submarine warfare at all. Could it be said that the losses suffered by submarines were forgotten so quickly? Chen Fu did not understand very much, so he emphasized one sentence during the report: "Follow the commander, right?

Is the Japanese Navy hiding something?"

Fang Jianxiong smiled and shook his head without saying anything. What he was thinking was, what a shame, Japan didn't take submarines seriously at this time. In parallel history of World War II, the Republic of China Navy had the money to order cruisers from Japan.

I don’t know how many submarines to buy from the Germans. I dare not say that they can sink battleships. With the power of German submarines, there are more than a dozen people doing some sneaky work. Japan’s weak sea transportation lines are not worthy of crying. (To be continued.)
