Chapter 33: A desperate Japan (6)

The next morning, Kerr knew why he had to leave so early, because the test site was at the secret Naval Base of Sado Island, which is more than 30 kilometers away from Tokyo. He first took a car to the naval dock, and then transferred to the Type 2 large boat. This time, the two generals sent by the German Navy had followed Hori Teiki to Truk as a fleet observer, and only two colonels and staff from the Supreme Command accompanied him. `These two received clear orders before coming,

Although their military rank is higher than Cole, Cole is named a special envoy and must obey unconditionally in daily operations. They have no resistance to this - although Cole is just a small lieutenant colonel now, the status of the secondary adjutant will immediately be different. I don’t know how much it will be in the future? If you don’t say anything else, just look at Spel. He turned out to be just an architect, and just because of Yuan Xingxiu, he pushed him to the position of minister.

In addition, there were also Naimi Inoue and Toyota Mate Takeshi. Neither of Kerr had a close relationship with them. He originally wanted to take the opportunity to get close, but he didn't expect that both of them were frowning and worried, so he was reluctant to talk to him. Kerr had to close his eyes and rest in his seat. Fortunately, the liaison officer sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was understanding and chatted with a few people from time to time so that the atmosphere would not be too dull.

When he arrived at the test site, the Technical Bureau of the Naval Aviation Headquarters had prepared all the facilities. He saw a Japanese officer with the rank of major general who was passionately speaking to a group of people, and he whispered to ask who the other party was. Later, he learned that this was Takijiro Oshiki who was recently organizing a special attack team. He is currently the Minister of General Affairs of the Naval Aviation Headquarters. Cole didn't hear clearly what the other party said, but only heard his last loud call: "There is no one who serves the country with seven lives.

He was afraid of the spirit of carrying out special attack missions!" He suddenly remembered the mobilization words that the secretary showed him yesterday and encouraged the students to apply for the aviation army - "...At this great opportunity, you want to soar in the blue sky, and fighting the dream of sea and sky is no longer an out of reach." When he thought of this sentence and contacted Takijiro Oshiki's speech just now, he shivered for no reason: Some of these students will not become characters in the "Seven Lifes of Serve the Country" in the future, right?

He secretly looked at the faces of Toyota Masatake and Inoue Narimi, and they also looked frowning.`

The experiment was already ready. Just waiting for the big guys to arrive before the start was announced. As the red flag was waving, the test instructions were officially issued. The two staff officers in the command were very excited. They had never known or seen such a weapon. They all stretched their necks to watch, fearing that they would miss the most important details. Cole had seen and experienced it, not as excited as them, but was also curious about the rockets controlled by someone.

While watching, Naimei Inoue approached and said in a voice that was obviously depressed: "Mr. Special Envoy, are you not afraid that your country will have great hatred for your country after the war is over in the future?"

Cole was shocked. He didn't expect that Navy's main official, Navy, would say this. He blushed and tried to straighten out his head that was chaotic by the sea breeze. After thinking about it, he said, "Who can say the future things? Inami official, aren't you afraid of the future wars defeated? Are your people hatred for the military?"

Narimi Inoue was stunned. He didn't know why Cole said that, so he retorted: "The soldiers naturally take it as their responsibility to die on the battlefield. We will do our best to have a clear conscience. What kind of hatred does the people have for us?"

"All actions during the war are to ensure victory, and any means can be used to win. Your people have sacrificed too much for the victory of the war, blood, life, including their families, life and all necessities. Nothing cannot be sacrificed, of course, including rocket weapons. Do you have to argue about which weapon to die is more valuable and more humane?" Cole retorted, "As for the clear conscience. `This sentence is the least qualified for the Japanese military, especially the Japanese navy, to say this - let's not say anything else, sea

How much resources and funds have the two Yamato-class battleships occupied? If these resources were not used to build warships but were distributed equally to the citizens, I am afraid that every family would be exempted from a month's food expenses? I heard that you ordinary peasant children could only eat white rice for the first time after joining the 6th Navy. Japan used only one percent of the national income of the United States to build more than 60% of the U.S. naval military equipment. If you lose in the future, facing the people who are struggling to save food, bleeding and sweat, and devote themselves to their full strength, how can you feel ashamed?"

"Is this problem not there in Germany?"

"The situation in Germany is different from that of Japan. We were the failed country in the last war: under the shackles of the Treaty of Versailles, the country was divided and the nation was oppressed to a deep end. We have fully experienced everything the Japanese people have experienced now 20 years ago. It was even more painful to understand, so the people chose Yuan to lead the German nation to resist. We have expectations for the price that this resistance needs to be paid. What is Japan's best resistance? Japan was the last war.

The victorious country, the only modern country in East Asia, is surrounded by a weak country. Not to mention that they cannot pose a threat to Japan, Japan will not hit them or beat them once a few more years, and they will be grateful. As for the United States, if it weren't for Japan to extend its hand to Southeast Asia, the United States wouldn't have taken Japan..." Kerr was not polite now. In terms of military rank, he is just a lieutenant colonel, not an opponent of the lieutenant general, but when it comes to debate, who would he be inferior to whom he is from a diplomat?

Inoue Narimi was speechless. He knew that Japan was not strong enough and always opposed to going to war with the United States. However, he never thought that Japan's naval power was actually invincible in Asia. The so-called threat was completely illusory created by himself. His face eased: "Then why doesn't Germany use this weapon?"

"Because Germany does not have this religious tradition and cultural atmosphere, it is impossible to recruit volunteers - but this does not mean that the Germans are afraid of death. Isn't it dangerous to fly a submarine or a tank?" Cole pointed to the mobilization of Takijiro Oshiki just now. "Your country is different. Without the rockets we provide, this general will probably use aircraft, torpedo or other weapons to complete this mission. In this case, why don't we create better and more destructive weapons? Maybe we can die fewer people."

Narimi Inoue was convinced, and his face completely relaxed, no longer as he looked tense as before: "The envoy's eloquent kung fu is deeply admired by me... Your experience is as Chief Yamamoto said, he is completely the first-class young talent in Germany."

"Thank you for your praise. In fact, I admire your feelings about the country and the people. If we look at it from a longer and higher strategic perspective, opposing the war with the United States is more beneficial to Japan. But since we have fought and do not want to surrender without principles, we have no way out and can only grit our teeth and fight to the end..."

With a "bang", the test was successful, and the crowd cheered: Navy testers controlled the rocket to take off from more than 80 kilometers away and flew at high altitude until they found a sea target, dived down, leveled when they approached the sea surface and then flew at an altitude of 25 meters until they finally accurately hit the warship simulated by a low freeboard cargo ship. Of course, today the above part of the battleship was built with wooden racks and cardboard. The rocket did not install explosion fuses, but just collapsed the rack and flew out.

Daxi ran over with joy and said, "Thanks to the special envoy, thanks to Deming for his weapons. The test was very successful, the degree of speed and the firepower was very strong. Today is our fourth test. We took off from an island more than 80 kilometers away. It was easy to find this large target and kill it in one blow."

"Have you tried interception?"

"When using an unmanned state, we tried interception with an aircraft, but it is difficult... the rocket is very fast. If the aircraft cannot catch up with it, we can only use dive to attack. However, the target size is so small, it is difficult to accurately hit in the dive state. Besides, the rocket can also dive, and the degree during dive is faster than the aircraft. What's more important is that when the rocket uses a low-altitude attitude to attack, the dive interceptor aircraft will fall into the sea if it is accidentally taken." Oshiki Takijiro said proudly, "It's difficult to hit the unmanned state. If a person drives, it's even more difficult. Once the operator intercepts, just moves gently to avoid the opponent's dive and let them dive..."

"Where is the opponent's interception?"

"I haven't tried this yet." Daxi slapped his forehead hard, "You are still thoughtful and we will continue to organize the experiment tomorrow."

However, Inoue Naimi waved her hand and said, "No need to test it."

"Why?"

"Flying against each other means spending 1 ooo kilometers per hour with each other. The enemy planes coming to intercept can either not be stopped. They can't change the interception at such a close distance, and they can only hit them one head-on."

"Then you can only hit one enemy plane."

Cole asked, "I'm very curious, how do you usually train with this thing? He doesn't have to land like a plane."

"Training is simple. Connect a large float outside the rocket. When it is to stop, as long as the team members lower the height first and then turn off the accelerator switch, the rocket that has lost power will naturally fall down and then float steadily on the water. Of course, if the external float is connected, the flight is not so fast, but the operation process is the same. If the float is not installed, it is not considered to recycle the rocket. As long as the height falls and leveles, the team members can climb out of the cockpit and jump into the sea." Dasi pointed to the rocket that was responsible for the test mission just now, "Look, the team members have climbed out and prepared to jump into the sea."
