My Bright Sword Logistics Career

Chapter 278 The Beginning of World Change

"I suggest restarting Project Tiger Tiger Tiger."

Mitsumasa Yoneuchi's words were like a bomb, shocking everyone in the Imperial Council.

Almost all the senior Japs looked at him in shock and dumbfounded.

Isn’t this person pro-European and American?
how? !
Mitsumasa Yoneuchi's tone remained unchanged:

"We also have a strong combined fleet."

"Instead of hiding in the port and being called out by the enemy's scuds one by one, it is better to fight to the death and expand the living space for the empire."

Pro-European and American faction?
Do you have a favorable impression of European and American powers, but not Germany and Italy?
Do not,
He had no good opinion of all the old powers.

He was only doing it for the benefit of the empire, because in the past, it was more in the interest of the empire to maintain good relations with Britain and the United States, so as to avoid the empire's future decline, but now, the situation has changed.

"But that's America..."

One of the Japanese ministers could not help but say:

"Can we win?"

"do not know."

Mitsumasa Yoneuchi put it bluntly:

"The power gap between us and the United States is also very large."

"Industrial scale, economic strength, and scientific and technological strength are all inferior to those of the United States."

"but··"

After a pause, Mitsumasa Minai said:
"We have no choice."

"An empire needs living space and strategic depth."

"Besides, the United States is always easier to deal with than the continent next door."

Whether they were from the faction that had gone south or the conservative faction, all the important officials of the Japanese army fell silent.

When they thought about it carefully, it seemed that it was indeed the case.

The United States is definitely difficult to deal with and is an unprecedentedly powerful enemy. However, at least the United States does not have Scuds with twice the speed of sound, no supersonic fighter jets, and no No. 72 tanks.

Although America's technology is also very advanced, at least the empire can still touch America's tail.

"I agree."

"I agree."

As Prince Fushimi Gong Hirokyo and Prince Kanin Gong Zaihito expressed their opinions on the plan to restart Tora Tora.

After the imperial meeting, the Japanese joint fleet immediately restarted Huhuhu.

·····
Mid-January 41.

Japan,

Naval Weapons Research Division,

"How about the new torpedoes?"

A military supervisory staff member walked into the research room.

Because of the recent back and forth between the Empire and Uncle Sam, the Navy's plan to attack Pearl Harbor has suspended actual progress.

In the planning deduction, there was a fatal problem with the attack on Pearl Harbor.

The air-dropped torpedoes used by Imperial Navy carrier-based aircraft have a high probability of sinking. That is, they cannot float after being thrown into the water. The probability is as high as 20.00%.

After improvements, this probability was reduced to twelve or three.

Of course, this reduced probability is not unacceptable.

But what is even more troublesome is that the harbor near Pearl Harbor is very shallow, and the depth in many places is even the same as the lowest water level of air-dropped torpedoes. This leads to the fact that the actual probability of air-dropped torpedoes sinking to the bottom is very likely to be higher than 30.00%.

This is unacceptable under any circumstances.

Originally, the mission of their research institute was to improve air-dropped torpedoes, increase the minimum water level after the torpedo enters the water, and prevent the torpedo from sinking to the bottom.

but··
At the beginning of the year, the relationship between the Empire and America improved, which led to the suspension of this project. Now it suddenly needs to be restarted, and it has to produce physical objects within two months. It is really difficult for the Institute of Science and Technology.

The lowest water level after a torpedo enters the water has always been a research problem for various countries. The empire's scientific research capabilities are not yet strong enough to produce mature physical objects in two months.

"We need to move faster."

The Japanese staff officer who was supervising was obviously a smart and pragmatic Japanese. He knew that this matter could not be destroyed by force, so he continued:
"The time base camp gives us is only a hundred days at most."

"There are also orders from Locust."

"Only in this way can we not delay subsequent production and operations."

"Hi."

The head of the institute sounded bitter.

It turned from two months to a hundred days, but it wasn't much better. They still didn't have much confidence.

This is a world-class research problem.

"If you have any difficulties, tell me."

The supervising Japanese staff officer continued, but it still failed to improve the expression of the head of the institute.

·····
the other side.

Osaka,

An Army weapons research base.

"How about the development of new aircraft?"

Onishi Takijiro walked into the research institute.

Drawing inspiration from Scud, Onishi Takijiro began to promote the Kamikaze plan.

Hundreds of years ago, the empire had two divine winds from heaven. Even the Yuan Dynasty, which was as powerful as the Yuan Dynasty and swept across Europe, had to fail. This time, the kamikaze agent team he specially formed will definitely be able to protect the empire. win.

Also because of the inspiration he drew from the Scud, Onishi Takijiro began to study a new kamikaze aircraft.

It is powered by a rocket engine and is manned. The nose of the aircraft is filled with [-] kilograms of high explosives.

Named Sakura by him.As fast as the divine wind, blooming like cherry blossoms, gorgeous and deadly.

No enemy can stop Sakura's attack, not even the United States. When Sakura's technology is upgraded and breaks through the speed of sound, he can even counterattack the Republic of China and annihilate Tubal Road.

“The progress is beyond expectations.”

The director of the Japs Research Institute sighed:

"We encountered a lot of technical difficulties."

"Not even the most basic?"

Onishi Takijiro asked puzzledly.

The first generation Kamikaze Sakura, he has tried to reduce the technical requirements as much as possible.

The maximum speed only requires 720 kilometers per hour, which is only the same as the propeller fighter equipped on Tubal Road. In his mind, the best is supersonic speed.

Because this means that no one can intercept it.

The maximum range is only 45 kilometers. After all, you can't have a maximum range shorter than the enemy's gun range, right?What's the use?In Onishi Takijiro's mind, under the best circumstances, the range should be two hundred kilometers.

"By mapping the debris, we modeled the aerodynamic appearance of the Scud, a prototype that has been created."

"However, we encountered great difficulties with the engine. It is estimated that the maximum speed is only [-] kilometers."

Answered the head of the Sakura Research Project.

"so slow?"

Onishi Takijiro frowned.

Five hundred kilometers per hour is the level of ordinary fighter jets in the empire, while the enemy's Scud can reach a maximum speed of three thousand kilometers per hour.

The difference is six times.

Too much!
"There is no way. We only have part of the fragments and cannot restore the entire Scud structure, so the air resistance is very high."

"And ground engine tests found that the range is only twenty kilometers."

The person in charge continued to answer.

"Thirty kilometers."

Onishi Takijiro fell silent.

This distance is worse than the range of a naval gun, so what's the use?

After all, if it is piloted, the accuracy will be very high, but at a speed of [-] kilometers per hour, not to mention fighter jets, even anti-aircraft guns can intercept it.

The divine wind he needs is to kill the enemy's most important target at the lowest cost.

Instead of lining up to die one by one and paying a heavy price in the end, targets of opportunity, with this performance, even if it can destroy enemy capital ships or important targets, the empire cannot afford it.

Pilots are not easy to train either.

“Performance must be improved as quickly as possible.”

Onishi Takijiro urged.

Because of the emergence of Scud and the new American opponent, Kamikaze received a high allocation and he had to produce results.

"Hi."

The person in charge should bow his head.

···
at the same time.

The edge of the stone gate.

Major General Watanabe brought more than 100 personal guards who he personally selected from the prisoner-of-war camp one by one, as well as a large stack of documents, even some parts, and several bottles and cans, into the area actually controlled by the Japanese.

"Major General, why don't we..."

After breaking away from surveillance, a Japanese commander hesitated for a while and then suddenly said.

Although he disdained Bushido, Tian Locust and the Empire, thinking it was brainwashing, and he only wanted to make money, betraying the Empire and Tian Locust made him panic after all.

"Have you seen these weapons information?"

Major General Watanabe looked at his confidant and said suddenly.

Weapon information.

The Japanese colonel looked at the large pile of information and some parts they carried, and was silent for a while.

Although these things were given to them by that group of people, they had also seen the real objects.

A large radar that can detect warships more than 100 kilometers away.

A rocket fighter that can fly more than 100 kilometers and has a payload of one ton. It is said to be a Scud prototype and is piloted.

as well as,

Some other weapons and equipment technologies,
For example, star aircraft engine technology, aviation torpedo technology, aviation bomb technology, anti-submarine acoustic detection technology,
Even, jet fighter engine technology!
But the latter is just some technical information.

As a colonel, he knew very well that these technologies were almost ten years more advanced than the empire.

"They are strong."

"This is our chance."

Major General Watanabe taught in a serious tone.

A few days ago, they had seen jet fighters, Scud prototypes, and that terrifying aircraft equipped with 105-mm artillery that could shoot accurately at night. They had also seen it from a distance, and even witnessed its exercises and training. .

There are also some other unimaginable weapons.

At that moment, Major General Watanabe knew that this group of people was invincible.

"When this is done, the empire will be ours."

"Although you have to listen to them, it's better than working for the locusts."

Although this subordinate lacks courage, this is also the reason why he chose this person. He is easy to control, good to influence, and obedient.

"We will return to the Imperial Japanese Army in the name of warriors who broke out from the enemy's hinterland and brought the loot with them."
