s: I wish all readers a happy new year and all the best.
In the world of this plane, the Germans' sonar and submarine silent technology are second only to China.
War is the best way to promote the development of science and technology.
German submarines suffered from sonar as early as the late World War I.
At first, they really didn't expect that sonar could be used in this way, but it didn't take long for them to find out the reason.
We all know that there will be great differences in IQ between individuals, but there will not be much difference between groups.
A new weapon may be impressive when it first appears, but it will not last long.
Someone will find a copycat method or a way to deal with it.
And when these new weapons appear, most of the opponents' reactions will only be "Oh, so that's what happened" or "Holy shit, why didn't I expect that this thing can be used like this?"
rather than "What the hell?"
It's possible."
The Germans do the same thing with sonar.
Sonar is not a fancy thing in the first place.
It has already appeared in the 19th century, but the technology at that time could not reach the level of similar products in later generations.
Moreover, the original purpose of this thing was not to use Come for anti-submarine.
In the past, the Germans didn't know that after suffering so much, they still didn't know that they were an industrial powerhouse and had no shortage of scientists in this field.
The Germans had woken up at the end of World War I and immediately began research on sonar, but they started too late to use it in World War I.
After the end of World War I, the Germans invested a lot of energy in research in this area.
It didn't take long for them to come up with mature products, and there were several types, including those for coastal defense bases, surface ships and aircraft. , and for the submarine itself.
With this kind of thing, their submarines no longer need to extend their periscopes for reconnaissance at any time, thus reducing the risk of exposure.
And they were inspired by it to improve their submarine design.
How to reduce the noise of submarines became the most important task of their submarine designers.
They have still made a lot of achievements in this regard, and the fact that they can squat outside Scapa Flow in a grand manner is the best proof.
Of course, happiness comes from comparison.
If compared with cheating China, their achievements are not worth mentioning.
The Chinese submarine followed them for several days, and was less than one kilometer away from them at the closest point.
From the perspective of a warship, this was already called following closely, but the Germans were still at a loss.
But their every move is under the surveillance of Chinese submarines.
There is no way.
The noise of Chinese nuclear submarines is too small.
It is almost the same as the background noise of the ocean.
It is difficult to distinguish it with German technology.
This is the gap But these German techniques were enough to deal with the British.
Before the British warships sailed out of Scapa Flow, German submarines had already been detected through sonar.
Of course, Colonel Hairamsimi didn't know that a large group of spectators were watching.
He always thought that he was doing it very covertly.
Among the onlookers, there were nuclear submarines squatting nearby, the military center of the Tiangong-1 space station cluster in the distance, China's naval headquarters and general staff, and even the Indian Ocean Fleet headquarters were watching the live broadcast. .
The bridge of the Royal Oak.
"The Germans dared to brazenly trigger a war this time.
This is a contempt for the entire civilized world.
Mr.
Hitler may have thought that as long as the Maginot Line was broken, everything would be fine.
But unfortunately, things did not go as smoothly as he imagined.
We The British Empire wants them to know that the Germans may decide when the war starts, but they cannot decide when it stops."
The TV on the bridge was playing the BBC TV interview with Admiral Fatty Qiu.

Fatty Qiu, who had resigned sadly during the First World War, came back to power in 1930.
He first served as Colonial Secretary, and this year he became Lord of the Admiralty again and took charge of the Royal Navy again.
At this time, Fatty Qiu was chatting in front of the camera, looking very high-spirited.
"This damn fat guy only knows how to brag," Major General Greenham curled his lips, not hiding his contempt for Fatty Qiu, even though Fatty Qiu was theoretically his immediate superior.
Like many people in the Royal Navy, Greenham had no favorable impression of this fat, boastful man.
Most officers and soldiers hated Fatty Qiu because he suffered two consecutive disastrous defeats in Jutland and Corsica during his tenure in World War I.
However, Greenham was different.
He knew that the reasons for those two disastrous defeats were complicated, and he You can't blame Fatty Qiu.
Greenham's dislike of Fatty Qiu was simply a disdain for politicians from soldiers, similar to the way experts and experts in other industries looked down on their layman bosses.
"Your Excellency, Sir Forbes is calling."
At this time, a staff officer came over with a telegram.
The telegram was sent by Admiral Charles Forbes, commander of the Home Fleet and Greenham's immediate superior.
He quickly received the telegram.
It seemed that Forbes said in the telegram that he had just received the latest information.
Denmark announced that it would join the Allies this morning.
In other words, the entire Jutland Peninsula is under German control.
The German High Seas Fleet left Wilhelmshaven last night and is now missing.
According to reports from German spies, the German army is likely to attack Norway.
Forbes estimates that the German fleet may cooperate with the army in combat, so it is likely to sail towards Norway.
Therefore, Forbes ordered Greenham not to go near Jutland and to immediately divert to Norway.
"Well, I understand."
Greenham nodded and immediately issued an order.
After the first fast fleet left port, it turned to Norway.
"Order the aircraft carrier detachment to take off reconnaissance aircraft and direct cover aircraft."
At the same time, he did not forget to order the aircraft carrier to launch carrier-based aircraft.
He did not expect the three Brave-class aircraft carriers to be the main force of the attack.
As long as they could detect the enemy's situation and provide air cover for the battleships, they would have fulfilled their responsibilities.
Of course, they are still within the protective circle of land-based aircraft, so there is no need to be too anxious.
Anyway, the British are not in a hurry now.
The Shetland Islands have been returned to the British after the war.
Although the expansion and new fortifications were prohibited due to the Washington Treaty, these three islands after the expiration of the treaty For more than a year, the British worked hard to repair the turtle shell here.
By this time, although many facilities were still unfinished, a maritime fortress had been built by the British.
In other words, the North Sea bathtub is already controlled by the British.
No matter which way the Germans go, they cannot avoid the British interception.
Needless to say about the English Channel in the south, Er Dezi decided not to choose this route unless his brain was cramped.
The Shetland Islands in the north are also a key line of defense operated by the British, and Scapa Flow, the main base of the Royal Navy, is right next to it.
If you want to go from here, you have to look at the British.
The Germans are also very aware of this, so it is no wonder that they will attack Denmark and Norway.
As long as Norway is controlled, the German fleet can swagger around the Shetland Islands and take the northern route into the Atlantic Ocean.
Although it is a little farther, it is safe.
At this time, the latest information came again.
The intelligence said: Half an hour ago, German planes had just launched an air raid on Norway and discovered a large number of German ships off the coast of Bergen.
It was obvious that the Germans were about to land here.
Although Oslo is closer to Germany, the Norwegians are not fools.
They have also set up a tighter defense here, but they are very lax in the direction of Bergen.

"The stupid Norwegians, who made them refuse to join the Allied Powers, are now being beaten by the Germans.
They really deserve to be unlucky," Greenham said gloatingly.
"Buzzing buzzing" an anti-submarine patrol aircraft flew over the fleet from low altitude.
This is an aircraft from the Scapa Flow base.
It is mainly responsible for nearby anti-submarine patrols.
In the past few months when the situation has been tense, the number of anti-submarine patrol aircraft here has increased to More than forty aircraft were divided into six shifts and took turns patrolling the area.
"I wish you all a safe journey" the anti-submarine patrol aircraft sent a light signal to the fleet.
"Thank you," the Royal Oak responded with lights, and sailors on board waved to the aircraft.
During World War I, Britain had suffered enough from submarines, so after the war they worked very hard to develop anti-submarine technology.
In their own opinion, the current anti-submarine technology was adequate, at least in many exercises, it went smoothly.
The submarine was found and destroyed.
However, the Germans' submarine technology seems to be superior.
The fact that the British are not aware of the nearby German submarines is a good illustration of this point.
There is no way.
Although the British have developed anti-submarine sonar, they only have models for ships and have not yet developed sonar buoys for aircraft.
Of course, we all know that Opium Cow has always had a big brain.
No, they put the recently invented anti-submarine radar on the plane.
However, this early radar technology is very immature.
Although it can detect submarines floating on the sea, if the submarine only exposes its periscope or snorkel, it will be difficult for this radar to detect the target.
In other words, their anti-submarine aircraft still mainly rely on "human radar" visual inspection to detect submarines.
After the British fleet sailed out of the port, it turned towards Bergen.
Their movements had been completely discovered by German submarines.
"Hahahaha, the British are indeed heading towards Bergen.
Well, according to the original plan, water torpedoes will be laid on their route," Halemsimi ordered.
Soon, the flagship U1166 submarine sent out a communication sonar to convey Colonel Simi's order to other submarines.
Although the British anti-submarine technology cannot detect submarines sitting on the bottom, they can still detect them once the submarine starts moving, so Simi does not want to risk being sunk and attack directly with a submarine.
This time he used a water torpedo, a weapon recently developed by Germany.
Or also called fish mines, in short it is a new gadget that combines the characteristics of torpedoes and mines.
This was also developed by the Germans after they obtained samples of Chinese acoustically guided torpedoes.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for traditional direct-navigation torpedoes to become water torpedoes.
This time, Colonel Simi led all mine-laying submarines.
Each submarine only carried six torpedoes, and the others were all water torpedoes.
As the order was issued, sixteen German submarines opened their mine hatches one after another, like hens laying eggs, and released a series of water torpedoes at intervals of 500 meters.
After these submarines finished laying mines silently, they turned around and evacuated the scene.
What was left behind them was a minefield of tens of square kilometers.
At this time, the British fleet continued to advance without any notice.
Greenham ordered the ship to increase its speed to 25 knots.
He hoped to discover the German fleet earlier and complete his revenge earlier.
Although Germany's high seas fleet is now extremely powerful, ranking second in the world in terms of tonnage after the United States, it is the most powerful time in the history of the German navy.
But the officers and soldiers of the Royal Navy were not afraid at all.
They were full of confidence and belief in victory.
In the Anglo-Spanish Naval Battle and the Anglo-French Naval Battle, Britain was also at a disadvantage in terms of the number and tonnage of its ships, and the gap was even greater.
However, in the end it was the other side that got the better of them, and the British had the last laugh.
Although the German High Seas Fleet is now very strong, it is only a little bit larger than the Royal Navy's Home Fleet.
It is completely incomparable with the gap between the Anglo-Spanish Naval War and the Anglo-French Naval War.

After all, in the Washington treaty system, China, the United States, Britain and Germany are all in the first bracket, and their shares are the same, so there is not much to play with.
Although all countries have been building large-scale construction after the end of the treaty, after all, the time is still short and the gap has not widened yet, well, except for the pervert in the United States.
Greenham saw that the newly sent information contained the specific model of the German ship.
The German fleet off Bergen included two Bismarck-class ships and two Prussian-class ships.
He smiled and said: "Our Royal Oak class can completely fight against the German Bismarck class and Prussian class.
Even if the main force of the local fleet behind them does not come up, we can still kill them."
"Your Excellency General, now I feel that the Germans are acting a bit abnormally.
We'd better reduce our speed and advance in an anti-submarine formation," Chief of Staff Colonel Schiller said.
Greenham shook his head: "Don't worry about the German submarines.
Our anti-submarine sonar is not a decoration.
There are still so many planes in the sky."
Although Schiller wanted to argue, he had no evidence.
He opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.
In the end, he could only sigh and give up.
At this moment, a dull explosion suddenly came from the left rear, and a water column suddenly rushed up from the side of the USS Brave aircraft carrier.
The Courage's speed suddenly slowed down.
"What's going on?"
Greenham was shocked and quickly raised his telescope.
I saw the Brave circling in circles, and the officers and soldiers on the ship were busy.
"Your Excellency, it may be a mine," said Captain Mars, the captain next to him.
"Well, it looks like it to me.
Stop moving forward quickly.
We may have entered a minefield.
Damn the Germans.
How dare they lay mines for these anti-human elements on the main channel."
As soon as Greenham finished speaking, the sea not far away There was another loud noise from the Ramman destroyer.
This large destroyer with a displacement of 3,000 tons seemed to have been kicked.
The bow of the ship suddenly raised high and was almost thrown out of the water.
Then it made a sour cracking sound and broke apart in front of thousands of officers and soldiers. broke into two pieces and sank into the sea
This was just the beginning.
Before the British officers and soldiers could react, explosions sounded one after another in the fleet, and thick water columns rose one after another.
"Torpedoes, lots of torpedoes," one of the lookouts screamed
