Chapter 957： Aircraft carrier not present

Historically, the island nation started the Pacific War only in 41 years, but now, it has a big departure from history.

What affects the Asian battlefield, of course, is the situation in the European battlefield. After the entire Europe was occupied by Germany, the United States has felt a huge threat. If the United States wants to maintain world peace, it must support Churchill.

As Rommel continued to attack, Churchill continued eastward in the colony. Now he has fled to India. If the United States wants to support Churchill, it must go to the Pacific Ocean.

In this case, the conflicts with the island countries are irreconcilable. The last maritime conflict was a microcosm. At the same time, on the Asian battlefield, the United States also supported China with considerable strength. For the island countries, either retreat from China. Retreat to the original turf, or go to war with the United States.

When the United States freezes the funds of the island countries and refuses to continue trade with the island countries, the island countries cannot obtain resources such as steel and oil from the United States. Then the island countries have only one way to go.

war!

At the same time, Germany's instigation is also indispensable. The island country lacks oil and Germany can support it. The island country lacks bombers and Germany can provide it. Just add firewood next to it to heat the island country and throw its blood on the United States.

With the continuous improvement of preparations for the island nations, the war against the United States has finally begun slowly!

The sea conditions in the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean are different. In many cases, it is calmer here.

Therefore, the design of the aircraft carrier is also different. For example, the aircraft carrier of the island country does not use a closed hangar, and the lower deck is open, which reduces the weight and can even take off directly from the lower deck when needed.

This aircraft carrier originally belonged to a battleship, and was modified during construction. The most recent modification was carried out in 38 years. Through this modification, Akagi has become more modern and is in line with the development of carrier-based aircraft. drop.

This huge warship with a displacement of 40,000 tons is the pride of the island navy.

However, from the perspective of the German consultants, this aircraft carrier still has major flaws. The bridge on the left is the biggest failure. It is still an ordinary through-deck, and the angled deck is not used. not tall.

At present, there are only waves less than half a meter high on the sea. For this 40,000-ton warship, the navigation is quite smooth.

On the bridge, Lieutenant General Nanyun Zhongyi held his binoculars and looked at the sea in the distance. This is really a good weather for sailing!

"Report, I received a telegram, but no fish was caught."

Holding the telegram, the German consultant Nan Yunzhong always beside said: "Counselor Rudel, your proposal is really great!"

When the German submarine appeared in the Pacific Ocean, the US Navy was really stimulated and constantly searched the sea to blow up the German submarine.

After that, there was a misfire incident, which was almost unstoppable in the end, and the enthusiasm of the U.S. Navy also faded. At the same time, the troubled German submarine seemed to have disappeared, just to put the charges on the U.S. Navy.

After that, the U.S. Navy did not search much, and their cargo ships were not threatened again.

In the vast ocean, no matter how large the fleet is, it is only a small point. The naval fleet of the entire island nation is sailing in the wind and waves.

At the same time, how to stay in a voyage of thousands of nautical miles without being discovered by the US Navy has always been a problem. Now, this problem has been solved.

That is to use fishing boats!

The fishing boats roamed the naval route in advance, while fishing, while observing the sea surface, if there is the US Navy, the alarm will be issued immediately.

Now that no fish is caught, it means that everything is safe nearby. Fish is the code name of the US Navy. Different fishes represent different warships.

"The emperor's blessing." Rudel said with a smile: "Now, we need to let the pilots save their energy, maintain the plane, and wait for the final battle."

While talking, I saw a large patrol plane slowly flying over in the sky.

This is definitely a large aircraft, and the lower part of the fuselage is shaped like the bottom of the ship. The wing is an upper monoplane. The four motives are deployed on the top. The propellers are above the water to prevent being shot by the sea during takeoff and landing. Bad.

This is the large seaplane unique to the island country, the West Sichuan Type 97 flying boat. (The island country is called a flying boat, not a seaplane.)

The island navy has always used the U.S. Navy as its opponent and believes that the two militaries must be preemptive in a decisive battle. Therefore, they require long-range patrol seaplanes to ensure victory in the Western Pacific.

In 1933, the Japanese Navy handed over the development task to the West Sichuan Company, requiring the seaplane to carry nine crews and necessary weapons and equipment, cruise at 222 kilometers per hour, and have a range of 463o kilometers.

In January 1938, this aircraft was adopted by the navy system and was named the 97 longboat It has a weight of more than 20 tons and can fly for a long time at sea. At the same time, after landing on the sea , You can also rely on submarines or warships to supply it, which is simply a good helper for long voyages.

Seeing it far away, it slowly lowered its height with a fluent glide line. When the bottom of the ship was in contact with the sea surface, the waves splashed, and the pontoons on both sides of the wings slapped the water from time to time.

The speed of the flying boat became slower and slower. Finally, the propeller stopped rotating, and the flying boat continued to slide and slide forward. At this time, it had become a boat.

When the flying boat stopped sliding, an inflatable dinghy was put down on it, and an officer rowed the dinghy towards the aircraft carrier.

Soon, he rowed beside the Akagi, and with the help of others, he boarded the Akagi and headed straight for the bridge.

"Report, this flight, we detected a special situation." The officer came up and said hurriedly: "We pretended to be a civilian airliner and photographed the warships in Pearl Harbor. We found that none of the three aircraft carriers were present."

The officer took out the photos he had washed in the dark room of the patrol plane during his return.

The Type 97 flying boat has a large internal space, which is also for the pilots to have sufficient physical strength during the long flight. There is also a dark room for washing photos.

Recently, the defense of the Pearl Harbor base suddenly became tighter, and it was not easy for the island spies on the island to penetrate, and the photos taken this time are even more useful.

In this attack on Pearl Harbor, the biggest target was the three US aircraft carriers, but now, these three aircraft carriers are not there!

This sudden change immediately stunned Nan Yunzhong. ()
