On December 10, 1940, the Nobel Prize was awarded outside Norway for the first time, one year after it was suspended last year.
Scientists from South China unexpectedly won four of the five awards in a row, attracting worldwide attention. Since the South China government recognizes dual nationality, almost most South China citizens are actually Chinese citizens, so this honor also serves as a win for China.
It is owned by the Republic of China government.
Among these four awards, Second Lieutenant Liang Li, a war correspondent of South China's "Liberation Daily", won the Nobel Peace Prize for her outstanding performance in finding proof of the Japanese massacre;
Scientists led by Professor Du Heming from Southwest China Institute of Materia Medica took home the Nobel Prize in Medicine for their discovery of penicillin and its clinical efficacy;
The feed silage storage method studied by China's Xufu Research Institute, as well as the discovery that adding an appropriate amount of biogas slurry to animal feed can help resist disease attacks, played a huge role in ensuring the health of livestock such as war horses, cattle and sheep during the war years.
Won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for this;
Nikola Tesla, a famous scientist who has become a South China citizen, won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his great achievements in radio remote control technology.
The only one missing among the five awards is the Nobel Prize for Literature. This award was won by Finnish writer Sirenpe. He wrote "Summer People" six years ago, which depicts typical Finnish natural scenery and shows a series of pictures.
The colorful pictures attract people's yearning for peace, so they were awarded this award.
The victory of Nanhua scientists in the Nobel Prize evaluation is considered to be an important diplomatic means for Britain and the United States to win over Nanhua. Compared with Nanhua's scientific and technological achievements, what the allies need most now is Nanhua's military power.
Since it was the war years and the Allies had lost their sea control over the Pacific and Indian Ocean regions, the only way to travel between South China and the United States was by air. It was very dangerous when the Axis powers controlled the air superiority in North Africa and the Middle East. Therefore, all the winners
He did not go to the United States to receive the award, and was accepted by Chinese Foreign Minister Song Ziwen on his behalf.
Internationally, the Pacific battlefield is full of thunder but light rain. The forces occupying the entire territory of Australia urgently need to stabilize the regional situation and eliminate the remaining Allied forces in the mainland. They have adopted an active defensive posture.
The peninsula mobilized its troops and generals to appear ready to launch a sea-crossing campaign to regain the Flo Islands and Tasmania. On the one hand, it actively immigrated to Australia from the country and built towns along the railways and highways.
The festival is advancing towards the center of the continent to consolidate its rule.
Admiral MacArthur, commander of the Allied Southwest Pacific Theater, was afraid that the Japanese army might launch a desperate landing operation, so he had to make the troops more vigilant and use all their strength to defend Bass Strait. At the same time, MacArthur also mobilized troops to repeatedly strengthen the defenses of the North and South Islands of New Zealand.
In more than two months, the United States once again transported six divisions of troops to the Southwest Pacific through the repaired Panama Canal, which greatly enhanced the armed forces in MacArthur's hands. However, it was obviously impossible to achieve this goal simply by relying on so many troops.
To counterattack the requirements of mainland Australia, continuing to tolerate it is a necessary means.
In the Central Pacific region, Rear Admiral Tanaka Yorizo, who had successively won victories through torpedo battles and was regarded as an outlier by the navy, gained the attention of Army Chief of Staff Kanji Ishihara. After negotiating with Nagano Osamu, the Japanese base camp issued a commendation order, and Tanaka Yorizo
Ranked as Vice Admiral in the Third Jin Dynasty.
However, as the U.S. military's aviation force in the Central Pacific grows, relying solely on the surface fleet's lightning strikes is no longer enough to defeat powerful enemies. The Navy is going all out to research the technology of air-dropped oxygen torpedoes and air-dropped acoustic homing torpedoes, and is also working hard to
Develop night flight combat devices in order to continue the legend of the Mine Troopers through aviation combat.
Under this circumstance, General Kanji Ishihara transferred back Tanaka Yorizo in the name of the base camp and sent him to the Naval Academy to learn aviation tactics to lay the foundation for future development.
December 12th, 2pm.
Nam Hwa, Hai Phong Port, Navy Headquarters Small Conference Room.
In the past few days, An Yi inspected the daily training of the Navy's First Fleet and the Beibu Gulf Local Fleet. After watching the actual combat drill of the submarine force this morning, he felt a little more confident and prepared to return to Xinjing. During lunch,
I received a telegram from the intelligence department and found it was related to naval construction, so I handed it over to Cheng Guang.
After reading it, Lu Guang was very surprised and asked: "Who is this Tanaka Yorizo that he caused such an uproar in the navy?"
An Yi, who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the conference room admiring the scenery, returned to the sofa and sat down, saying: "Recently, the intelligence department has frequently mentioned this person, and I specially asked someone to investigate. This person graduated twenty-four years ago.
He attended the Naval Lightning Strike School and served as a torpedo officer on the destroyer Shiokaze and the light cruiser Yura. These experiences made him have a special liking for torpedo attack and he became an expert in torpedo attack of the combined fleet.
"Starting from the year before last year, he was promoted to captain of the Navy and served as captain of the battleship USS King Kong and commander of the Sixth Submarine Fleet. After the Pearl Harbor incident last year, he was transferred to the commander of the Second Lightning Strike Fleet of the Combined Fleet and was promoted to the Navy at the beginning of this year.
He has the rank of major general. Unexpectedly, at the end of the year, he was promoted to the rank of vice admiral. This shows that this person does have some talent. Cheng Guang, please tell me your views on this lightning strike method! "
Lu Guang thought about the contents of the telegram again, and his face gradually became solemn.
The telegram comes from Tanaka Yorizo. After entering the naval school for further training, he spent half a month writing the book "How to Correctly Conduct Lightning Strike Warfare", which summarized how he used destroyers as the main force in the Central Pacific Theater and was obviously inferior to his opponents in terms of strength.
Under the circumstances, the weak defeated the strong and learned lessons.
At the beginning of the book, Tanaka Yorizo clarifies: The industrial capabilities of the United States are far beyond that, and it is normal for the number of warships to be greater. To fight with the U.S. military, one must always be prepared to defeat the strong with the weak, and the specialty of the navy is night fighting.
ability and oxygen torpedoes, we must give full play to this advantage.
According to Tanaka Yorizo, the U.S. Navy relied on its radar technology obtained from the United Kingdom to first discover that the warships were extremely normal, but its night combat capabilities were obviously not as good as the Navy. The flash of U.S. artillery was extremely obvious, and the torpedo attacks launched by the Navy's destroyers, which are famous for their high speed,
Provides an obvious target. Correspondingly, if the fleet does not have a firepower advantage, it should try to avoid firing, let alone actively turn on the lights, to avoid being concentrated by the enemy.
Tanaka Yorizo emphasized that when the Japanese fleet performs missions, there should be no less than three guard ships. The front-mounted lead ship must be strengthened for defense. It is better to weaken the attack power and ensure the improvement of bulletproof capabilities and damage control capabilities.
According to the actual combat effects, the lead ship has the highest probability of being shot intensively, and there is basically no chance to fight back. If possible, the strongest warship should be selected to increase the probability of survival. Those explosive ammunition should be reduced as much as possible, or even only
Just leave the ammunition for the anti-aircraft weapons. The engine room of the lead ship must be reinforced as much as possible to ensure that the warship can maintain a certain speed after the war. In areas where American aircraft are active, losing speed is extremely dangerous.
During a lightning strike battle, after the first lightning strike is completed, you should evacuate quickly and reload torpedoes. For cruisers or even larger targets, it may take two, three or even four lightning strikes to completely eliminate them. Navy destroyers in lightning strikes
, you should be prepared for up to four lightning strikes. As for more lightning strikes, firstly, they are rarely used, and secondly, loading too many torpedoes will also increase the risk of explosions, so they are generally not considered.
According to Tanaka Yorizo, most lightning strikes are encounters. The torpedo squadrons do not have the opportunity to form a standard formation. Therefore, there is no need to fight according to the classic mode. All warships should target enemy ships that can be struck by lightning at the first time to conduct torpedo attacks.
Then immediately retreat and reload torpedoes in preparation for the second attack. Even if the first attack fails to sink the enemy ship, it is enough to destroy the enemy fleet formation and create favorable conditions for the second lightning strike.
In addition, when the fleet is divided into several formations, there is no need to concentrate before engaging in battle. Instead, immediately after the encounter, according to the environment, occupy a favorable combat position and quickly engage in combat. When the front team retreats, they should remember to create lightning strikes for the rear team.
Favorable conditions. At the same time, since lightning strikes often involve melee, it is extremely important to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. When it is difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, we should ensure that our own fleet does not fire first. As long as this is ensured, we can fire on the target ship.
The ship was struck by lightning.
Tanaka Yorizo believes that by using the coastal terrain to conceal and detour behind enemy lines, destroyers can give full play to their advantages of high speed and have an excellent effect of surprising and attacking unprepared enemies. They may even have the opportunity to intercept and kill lone enemy ships. This is something that must be paid attention to in multi-formation naval battles.
of.
Tanaka Yorizo also believes that it is very important to detect the enemy in advance during an encounter. Therefore, the land-based aviation force must work harder to provide early warning as much as possible. Special reconnaissance teams can also be dispatched to detect the enemy fleet at some key locations.
This trend is currently noticed by all fleets and should be maintained.
At the end of the book, Tanaka Yorizo stated that rescuing the country's drowned officers and soldiers after the battle is as important as destroying the enemy's naval officers and soldiers. During the battle, if it is difficult to organize the rescue of the country's drowned officers and soldiers, you can temporarily retreat and wait until the battle subsides before returning to the battlefield to organize the rescue.
.
Ships are operated by people, and it often takes several years to develop a qualified sailor. Therefore, while saving your own sailors, you should do your best to kill and injure the enemy's fallen officers and soldiers, which can effectively weaken the opponent's strength. If
On the battlefield, if you can kill as many naval officers and soldiers of the other side as possible, then when the war is unfavorable, it is worthwhile to retreat temporarily! After a few more such battles, in the end the enemy will be in the embarrassment of not having suitable naval soldiers to control the new warships.
situation. At the same time, the empire should increase its efforts to recruit sailors in advance for training, and it is best to adopt the method of bringing in the old and bringing in the new to promote the growth of sailors as soon as possible.
"I have to admit that people's exploration of naval tactics is far ahead of other countries in the world. Even simple torpedo operations have come up with so many tricks..."
After Lu Guang said these words, he carefully savored it again, combined with the naval battle information in the Central Pacific region previously provided by the United States. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Tanaka Yorizo was not a simple person. Although this telegram only briefly described Tanaka
Laizo's views on lightning warfare are enough to show that the navy's exploration in this area is far ahead of the current countries.
As for the Nanhua Navy, although it has almost completely inherited the French Navy, the French Navy is at best second-rate in the world. Its naval warfare ideas are old-fashioned. The Nanhua Navy is even worse. Most of the naval officers and soldiers are newcomers and there is no naval warfare at all.
With experience at hand, it is completely conceivable that if we were to confront the navy in the future and suddenly encounter the elusive navy's lightning strike fleet, it would definitely be a terrible nightmare.
An Yi talked with Cheng Cheng for a long time. When he left the naval base, Cheng Cheng asked a question: "Boss, why did you make the decision to allow the Japanese army to withdraw from Malaya, Burma and East India? So many
áng, the production lines and mechanical equipment are all cheap! If our navy can take the initiative under the cover of the air force, it can completely cover the army's landing in Sin Chew, Yangon and other places, blocking the Japanese army's retreat!"
"I know everyone has this question in their mind, but no one has taken the initiative to ask me..."
An Yi patted Li Guang's shoulder and said as he walked:
"There are several reasons for doing this. One is to continue to keep the secrets of our navy. Once people discover that we have such a powerful maritime power, they will definitely not retreat so readily, causing us to consume huge supplies and the lives of officers and soldiers, and for
Britain and the United States attract firepower, but it doesn't pay off;
"Think about it, if our naval power is exposed too early, Britain, the United States and other allies will definitely urge us to use this power, so that these ships will go to the battlefield before we have even warmed up. Can you rest assured? Are you?
Commander of the Navy, you know the real situation of our navy better than I do. Because the navy is expanding too fast, it has only taken shape so far. The cooperation of various ship types seems to be good, but it is not safe if it has not been tested in actual combat for a day. That kind of
It is very wrong to think that having an aircraft carrier can conquer the world with one move. If nothing else, if our fleet encounters the lightning strike tactics implemented by the Japanese destroyer fleet and submarines at night, how will we respond?
"Second, no matter where people move these equipment, I am sure that I will take them back intact in the future. Now I just let people keep them for an extra year or two, but the price is to gain a few years of peaceful development.
If people and Britain and the United States fight to the death, why not do it? When clams and cranes fight, the fishermen benefit, so we must be that fishermen!
"Third, the importance of our South China cannot yet be reflected. According to feedback from the United States, the British even hope to return to India, Burma and Malaya. Only by thoroughly beating the United States and Britain will the British know what is going to happen.
, they also know how we have survived the hard times in the past few years. Therefore, from this point of view, we cannot weaken it too much. We still need it to disrupt the situation. You must also know that the Japanese army is building the Far East Railway and is preparing to start from
If we attack the United States on land, there will definitely be another good show.
"Right now, the German army has fallen into a quagmire under the city of Moscow. Failure is imminent. The Soviet Union officially announced the dissolution of the Communist International at the end of last month and joined the Allies. Their victory is also the victory of the Allies. What we have to do now is to get between the two major international forces.
If we can survive in China and develop ourselves through this war, if we can completely consolidate the occupied areas before the end of the war, win the hearts and minds of the indigenous people, ensure the majority status of the Chinese, make great progress in industry and agriculture, and continue to maintain military power against Europe and the United States,
The country’s certain advantages are victory for us!”
Lu Guang suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly.
If before today, Cheng Guang was still confident in the navy he commanded, but after reading this telegram about the military monograph written by Tanaka Yorizo, he has completely given up his contempt for the navy and understood the differences between the two navies. The real gap is probably bigger than imagined, so I still have the idea of continuing to try my best to catch up with the first-class navy in two to three years, and with the help of new warships such as aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines and guided missile destroyers, we can achieve this goal. The foundation of a strong navy.
