Chapter 612 East Asian Alliance (2)
Just like when mentioning the French government, one uses the Elysee Palace. When mentioning the British government, it refers to No. 10 Downing Street. Now when referring to China, it is customary to refer to it as No. 7 Renmin Road. As a Japanese, Yamamoto likes it very much.
The number 7. There is no reason, the Japanese are inexplicably very fond of the number 7.
So Yamamoto likes No. 7 Renmin Road very much. But in China, he actually prefers the name No. 1. The reason why it is useless is because No. 1 Renmin Road, a building located at the intersection of Renmin Road and Huanghe Road, is safe.
Not suitable for living, but not suitable.
This was the first time for Yamamoto to go to No. 7 Renmin Road. When the car passed by the 10-lane Renmin Road, the first thing he saw was the huge People’s Square. The tens of thousands of square meters of the square shocked Yamamoto. This is indeed the vast capital of China.
There are squares that should be there. Compared with the Chinese capital, Tokyo, Japan, seems very small. In other words, very exquisite.
The courtyard at No. 7 Renmin Road is very quiet. Looking through the iron fence at the front, you can see a four-story building. This is not He Rui's residence, but the location of the Chairman's Office. In the courtyard behind the office,
This is He Rui's residence.
The staff led him into a conference room inside, where he saw Ishihara, Nagyun Chuichi, and Yamaguchi Dawen sitting on the left of He Rui. Zhong Yifu, Cheng Ruofan, and Hu Xiushan sat on the right of He Rui. Yamamoto saluted He Rui and then
Seeing He Rui pointing to the empty seat on the Japanese side, "Yamamoto-kun, we will wait for you alone."
"Sorry." Yamamoto said and walked quickly to his seat.
He Rui said: "We invite you here this time to discuss two things. The first thing is that we want to introduce the development plan of the Chinese Navy to the Japanese side. The second thing is that we want to discuss this plan with the Japanese side.
Form a liaison group and ask Minister Hu Xiushan to introduce China's naval development plan."
By the time He Rui finished speaking, the Chinese secretary had placed a book of information in front of each Japanese general. Hu Xiushan Magnet stood up, and Yamamoto saw that Ishihara's sitting posture had also changed slightly. Seeing Ishihara, he was still interested in Hu Xiushan.
Yamamoto found some of the reactions of his former opponents very interesting. During the Sino-Japanese War, Hu Xiushan commanded a motorized force of the Northeastern Army to launch a fierce attack. It was Ishihara who resisted with all his strength, and barely managed to slow down Hu Xiushan's attack, allowing Nagata Tieshan to have a chance.
Time organized the Seoul defense line. That experience was by no means a good memory for Ishihara.
There was no change in Hu Xiushan's face at all. He introduced the Chinese Navy's development plan in a slow and slow manner. Yamamoto's attention was immediately attracted. Soon, Yamamoto was impressed by the Chinese Navy's plan.
Shocked.
Yamaguchi Tawen previously said that Chinese naval personnel discussed with him an aircraft carrier carrying a brigade of 90-100 fighter jets of various types. Yamaguchi Tawen himself calculated based on the parameters that a tonnage of about 40,000 tons would be needed to realize it. Chinese design
It has come out. It is a 35,000-ton aircraft carrier. What shocked Yamamoto was that this aircraft carrier not only has a through deck, but also an inclined deck behind the through deck.
Yamaguchi Tawen immediately asked about the purpose of this design, and Hu Xiushan explained with an expert attitude that it was a sloping deck used for aircraft landing. At this time, both Yamamoto and Yamaguchi praised the case. Even Nagumo Chuichi kept saying it.
Nodding, his appreciation for this design can be seen on his usually calm face.
Although he admired it very much, Yamaguchi Tawen still raised a question, "Such a design greatly improves the efficiency of aircraft takeoff and landing. So why not enlarge some of the hull and design it as an aircraft carrier capable of carrying 120 fighter jets."
Hu Xiushan asked Yamaguchi to turn to page 15. After Yamamoto opened it, he saw a large number of tables. After glancing at the large number of formulas in the introduction, Yamamoto understood that these were parameter settings made after conducting a large number of actual tests.
"Based on extensive calculations and tests, we believe that 120 fighter jets of various types can only reduce combat efficiency. The optimal number of fighter jets is 90. As for the insufficient number of fighter jets in the combat area, we can solve it by increasing the number of aircraft carriers.
"
Yamamoto was stunned for a moment, and then felt confident. Fighting with more and less is the way war should be. However, Japan's national strength is insufficient, so it can only tap its potential from performance. Now China has decided to win by superior numbers, which is indeed the most correct way.
choice.
Yamaguchi took a quick look at the parameters and asked another question, "Is this the only kind of aircraft carrier?"
"We have also designed an 18,000-ton escort aircraft carrier, which is designed to target enemy submarines, but we are still discussing whether this is necessary at this stage," Hu Xiushan explained.
Yamaguchi stopped talking. He personally felt that a 35,000-ton aircraft carrier was enough. At least in the Pacific battlefield, once the East Asian coalition forces captured various Pacific islands, it would be impossible for the enemy to build submarines across the Pacific to attack East Asia. As for
In the Indian Ocean, as long as Britain loses India, it may not really need escort aircraft carriers.
Nagumo Chuichi looked calm, but his heart was already excited. He had just quickly browsed the Chinese naval design and determined that China's naval artillery equipment only has three types: battleships, cruisers, and destroyers. Battleships include 35,000 tons and 45,000 tons. Cruisers and
There are also two types of destroyers.
As an expert in artillery equipment, Nagumo Chuichi already felt refreshed after just a quick glance. There are a total of 6 types of warships, and the tonnage of the three types of warships is in line with the provisions of the World Naval Treaty. Production can be started now. And at the time of design, 35,000 tons
The battleship was originally designed with a 410mm naval gun. The Japanese Navy has been using the 410mm naval gun for 10 years, and it is really familiar with it.
The same is true for the first types of cruisers and destroyers. There is sufficient redundancy from the beginning. And more importantly, the Chinese Navy attaches great importance to radar. As early as World War I, the United Kingdom developed a radar with
It was used to search for German aircraft and airships. By 1922, research in this area continued to develop in various countries around the world. According to the swab data, the Chinese Navy developed two types of search radars and fire control radars. It can be seen that China’s research
It is also ongoing.
During Hu Xiushan's introduction, Nanyun Zhongyi asked several questions and received detailed explanations. This made Nanyun Zhongyi feel more and more that the Chinese Navy did not seem to be building ships, but in fact it was very serious in preliminary preparations.
After they finished talking, He Rui made a gesture, and the secretaries closed the curtains. The conference room instantly became dark. Several old smokers took the opportunity to light cigarettes and enjoy themselves. The movie player on the other side of the conference table had already started.
Run it.
The movie has a voice-over, which is an introduction to China's segmented shipbuilding method. Now the world's shipbuilding industry is a shipbuilding method that only builds one ship in a dock. The segmented shipbuilding method divides the ship into several segments during design.
Even more than a dozen sections. After each section is built, a huge gantry crane is used to lift the built hull sections into the dock, where they are welded to complete the construction method of the entire ship.
Although Japanese naval experts all understand that this construction model can greatly improve the utilization rate of the dock, and time is money. The higher the efficiency at the same time, the lower the shipbuilding cost. However, Japanese naval experts do not feel unconditionally.
Optimistic, many technical difficulties immediately popped up in their minds.
The film was shot very professionally. The second half introduces China's progress in electric welding technology, including inert gas welding, solder technology developed for different welding objects, especially the development of thick steel plate welding and ultra-thick steel plate welding technology.
What surprised Japanese naval experts even more was the use of Chinese laser measuring instruments.
The current Japanese shipbuilding industry still uses the traditional European and American shipbuilding model, and it is too late to change it now. Yamamoto Isoroku laments that the Chinese shipbuilding industry can adopt such a radical technical route because it has no historical burden. He also doubts the Chinese shipbuilding industry.
Is it really possible for such a weak person to complete such a design?
In the last section of the movie, the introduction of Chinese electron tube computers left Yamamoto stunned. The electron tube computers with more than 50,000 operations per second helped Chinese engineers complete a large number of calculations. Japanese engineers conducted every content of ship design before practice.
Ten times or even dozens of times the calculation. The later tracking data collection also provided a large amount of basic data for problem analysis of various ships.
Yamamoto only felt that either he was a fool, or the Chinese ship engineers were fools. To achieve this level of paper work was beyond the limit of imagination.
Instead, Ishihara Wanji asked: "How does China provide so much electricity?"
Yamamoto Isoroku immediately woke up. Indeed, this was a big problem. Hu Xiushan replied calmly: "We built a computing center in an area with abundant water power and used the power there to carry out continuous work."
After watching the movie, he opened the curtains again, and there was already a layer of smoke lingering over the meeting. He Rui asked Hu Xiushan to sit down, and then turned to the Japanese generals, "We have introduced to you the overall situation of China's naval development in the future.
Okay. Do you still have any questions?"
Nan Yunzhong pointed to the thick information in front of him, "He Jun, can I take this away?"
"Of course." He Rui replied with a seemingly relaxed tone.
Yamamoto Isoroku felt relieved. Although these information are important, it is impossible to truly understand the true appearance of China's naval equipment based on these information alone. The so-called technical blockade does not mean that the other party is not allowed to see the products produced, or even how
Pay attention to the design ideas. The so-called devil is hidden in the details. A large number of details in actual work are the key to determining technological development. If China does not transfer technology to Japan, Japan will not be able to do so in a short time
Figure out China’s shipbuilding route.
More importantly, the shipbuilding industry invests hugely and relies heavily on skilled engineers and technical workers. Japan is advancing through exploration, which sounds very inspiring. In fact, it is a waste of countless money.
