Expedition to Europe

Regarding radio, Tomoji Ito really has no say.

If it comes to traditional technology, Ito Tomoe believes that he will not lose to anyone. When it comes to new technologies, let alone Ito Tomoe, the entire situation in Japan is lagging behind.

Radio was born during the World War. It was precisely because of Qin Zhiyuan's promotion that radios were miniaturized and successfully installed on reconnaissance aircraft and command vehicles. The Japanese's understanding of radios is still at the rumor stage and they have never been exposed to it. , not to mention apps.

"After the Nagato arrived at Cam Ranh Bay, the Cam Ranh Bay Shipyard further optimized the Nagato. Its internal structure has been greatly changed, especially the design of the watertight compartment. The Cam Ranh Bay Shipyard needs to make more improvements. It's more reasonable. The current appearance of Yamato looks unchanged, but in fact there have been many changes inside." Kato Fumio explained in a low voice next to Ito Tomoe. Ito Tomoe noticed that Kato Fumio spoke in Chinese.

"Asshole, don't you even want to use Japanese?" Before Ito Tomoe could scold him, Inoue Haruto couldn't hold back his temper.

"No, but there are regulations in Lanfang that Chinese must be used at the Cam Ranh Bay Shipyard. Among the first batch of workers arriving at Cam Ranh Bay, many who cannot speak Chinese are currently studying in language schools. Only by learning Chinese can they Only then can I get a job opportunity," Fumio Kato explained helplessly.

The situation in Japan is actually similar to that in South Korea. Many Japanese elites have no problem reading and writing Chinese. Moreover, because of long-term cultural immersion, many Japanese can be described as "China experts", which is also from another aspect. Prove the influence of the "Chinese Cultural Circle".

Elites such as Kato Fumio and Ito Tomoji basically use Chinese. Of course, their daily communication is still mainly in Japanese. However, the scope of using Chinese was gradually shrinking before the war between Lanfang and Japan. There were only a few Japanese in the younger generation. Can speak Chinese.

It is foreseeable that with the defeat of Japan and the passage of time when Lanfang is stationed in Japan, more and more Japanese will use Chinese in the future. This situation cannot be changed by Kato Fumio and Ito Tomoe. .

"Asshole, the design of the Nagato is already perfect. How can they change the structure at will? This is really a blasphemy against the Nagato." Chiba Taro said heartbroken.

"Don't say such things. This is no longer 'Nagato', but 'Vladivostok'. Go ahead and complete her as soon as possible. We are lucky to see such a majestic battleship born in our hands. "Ito Tomoe has already accepted his fate.

"Is that Mr. Ito?" came a clear voice.

Ito Tomoe looked back and saw that the person speaking was a very young man, only twenty-four or five years old.

"General Engineer Zhang, this is Mr. Ito. Just now, Mr. Ito wanted to see the latest progress of the Vladivostok, so we didn't go to the factory director's office. Please forgive me." Kato Fumio was respectful.

"Hello, Mr. Ito, welcome to the Cam Ranh Bay Shipyard. I am Zhang Youhe, the chief engineer here. Please give me your advice in the future." Zhang Youhe had a good attitude, and he was concerned about the traditional Japanese etiquette and shook hands without coming up. , but made a bow.

"Jun Zhang, I, Tomoji Ito, would like to ask for your advice in the future." Tomoji Ito also has a good attitude, and his bowing angle is more standard than that of Zhang Youhe.

No matter what the Japanese think in their hearts, if you only look at the superficial etiquette, the Japanese are indeed thoughtful and considerate. Especially when the Japanese are in a weak position, the Japanese's etiquette is simply impeccable.

"Please, our factory director is waiting for you in the office. You can rest today and start working again tomorrow." Zhang Youhe was considerate of the tired old guys in front of him.

"Zhang Jun, I wonder what the technical parameters of this radio are?" Tomoe Ito had no intention of taking a break and wanted to learn more about new technologies.

"I really don't know the technical parameters of this radio. The electronics department is responsible for this matter. You can ask Lao Liang another day. This is the latest model. It is much more powerful than the one in the car. It is the same as the sonar system. It is the new equipment of the Vladivostok, which can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the Vladivostok." Zhang Youhe did not explain much. Technical parameters cannot be leaked casually. Zhang Youhe has studied the "Confidentiality Manual" carefully.

"Can you please introduce the modified 'Vladivostok'?" Tomoe Ito asked humbly, and had unconsciously replaced the "Nagato" with the "Vladivostok".

"Of course, come here, let's talk as we walk." Zhang Youhe had a good attitude and explained as he walked: "The biggest modification is the weapon system. After the modification is completed, the 'Vladivostok' will have a complete air defense system. All are professional anti-aircraft weapons, while retaining the 410mm main gun and removing all torpedo launching equipment.”

Almost all of these things are public and not confidential, so Zhang Youhe has no intention of hiding anything.

"It's understandable to add anti-aircraft weapons, but why should we dismantle the torpedo launchers?" Tomoe Ito felt his heart bleed.

As Taro Chiba said, the "Nagato" class battleship is the culmination of the hard work of all Japanese military personnel. Now it has been changed to pieces by Lanfang people. Ito Tomoji really feels that it is a secret investment.

Although the Japanese are small, they have always been pursuing various "bigness". The tonnage of naval warships must be large, the caliber of the main guns must be large, and the caliber of the torpedo launchers must be large. The Japanese's pursuit of "bigness" has reached a perverted level.

At the beginning of the design of the "Vladivostok", the Japanese arranged 8 torpedo tubes on both sides of the "Vladivostok" battleship. Among them, 4 are arranged on the water around the No. 2 chimney, and 4 are arranged underwater behind the No. 1 and No. 4 turrets.

So many torpedo tubes must also carry corresponding torpedoes, which not only increases the weight of the "Vladivostok", but also increases the corresponding manpower, but there is no combat effectiveness at all. So when the "Vladivostok" arrived at the Cam Ranh Bay Shipyard, the first improvement made by the Cam Ranh Bay Shipyard was to dismantle all torpedo launch equipment.

As for increasing the air defense weapons, this is easy to understand. It is not just the Lan Fang Navy that is doing this. Almost all navies around the world have carried out large-scale modifications after the Battle of Cam Ranh Bay and the Battle of Ninh Bac Port. The main direction of the modification is the air defense system of the warships.

The Battle of Cam Ranh Bay and the Battle of Ninh Bac Port left a deep impression on people. The emergence of torpedo planes changed the traditional way of naval warfare. Britain, the United States and other countries not only modified the air defense systems of existing warships, but also made every effort to study and improve torpedo planes and aircraft carriers, striving to catch up with Lan Fang and become the world's first air force power.

This is one of the side effects of the Battle of Cam Ranh Bay and the Battle of Ninh Bac Port. However, from the perspective of the overall progress of mankind, this is indeed a good thing, because now the whole world is on the right track. Although battleships are still considered the key force in determining naval battles, compared with the 1920s in another time and space, the importance of aircraft has greatly increased and is no longer an optional appendage.

"In future wars, the role of torpedoes will become smaller and smaller, and battleships and aircraft carriers will dominate the battlefield. Think about it, whether the torpedoes are installed on battleships or destroyers, they will be destroyed by the enemy's naval guns and aircraft before they enter the range. So what is the use of torpedoes?" Zhang Youhe explained in detail.

"How can it be useless? We can research torpedoes with longer range, and torpedoes will also become a nightmare for warships!" Chiba Taro blurted out, successfully winning the glare of Ito Tomoji.

The original text is in Liu # 9 @Shu/Bar!

Zhang Youhe just smiled slightly and didn't take it to heart.

Japan is not allowed to keep warships now, so even if the Japanese develop better torpedoes, they will have no place to use them.

At the same time, Lan Fang's scientific research department is also researching torpedoes and progressing smoothly. It has broken through several technical difficulties. In time, Lan Fang's torpedoes will definitely be improved.

However, Zhang Youhe did not need to explain these things to Ito Tomoji. The information of the new torpedo was confidential, and Ito Tomoji and his team would never be able to reach the level of access to these core technologies.

After listening to Zhang Youhe's explanation, Ito Tomoji no longer had the heart to ask.

If we look at the traditional technology level, Lan Fang's technical background may not be as deep as the Japanese, but if we look at the application of new technologies and the understanding of tactics, the Japanese are undoubtedly far behind Lan Fang. This is beyond doubt. From the results of the war between Lan Fang and Japan, we can see that Japan had almost no ability to fight back and was beaten by Lan Fang.

"And our current construction method is to build in sections, and more modular design is used. For example, if we build battleships like the 'Vladivostok', then the 'Vladivostok' can be launched in a year at most, and it does not take two or three years at all." Zhang Youhe showed off intentionally or unintentionally.

The block manufacturing method is not a secret. The Americans are currently using it. Otherwise, during the World War, the Americans would not have been able to complete the world record of 14 days from laying the keel to launching a warship.

Hearing Zhang Youhe say this, Ito Tomoji could only remain silent.

The Japanese also knew about the block manufacturing method, but the Japanese could not turn it into reality.

What can I say about the Japanese? Their quality is indeed good and their execution is sufficient, but in terms of creativity, the Japanese are not a little bit worse. If you tell the Japanese how to do something, the Japanese can do it to perfection, but if you tell the Japanese to do it yourself, then well, the result can only be a mess.

While talking, the group had arrived at the office of Huang Yinrong, the director of Cam Ranh Bay Shipyard. Looking at Huang Yinrong, who was in his prime standing at the door of the office, and looking at Chiba Taro and others behind him who looked dead and lifeless, Ito Tomoji had to admit that he was really old!
