April 6, 1941, AD 2782, southeastern Australia, Tasman Sea.
Mako submarine.
It can be said that the life of Chinese submariners in this plane is better than that of their counterparts in the 21st century in the original time and space.
With the practical application of blue-green laser communication, neutrino communication technology and even quantum communication technology, they can still survive even in the sea.
Various signals can be received just like on the sea, not to mention the military data link.
There are also television signals, radio signals, and even the navy's dedicated encrypted network.
Theoretically, you can also use your mobile phone to make calls outside in a submarine.
Of course, because of confidentiality factors, it is generally impossible to allow officers and soldiers to do this.
But things like watching TV, listening to the radio, or even watching movies and chatting online are all fine.
On current Chinese submarines, each crew member is equipped with a portable Rainbow 3 learning machine, which is actually a simplified version of a laptop, almost equivalent to the low-end netbooks of later generations.
This is also for the mental health of the officers and soldiers.
If they live in a closed environment for a long time, it is easy to cause some strange mental illnesses and cause unnecessary trouble.
Of course, officers and soldiers can only use the Navy's dedicated encrypted quantum network to access the Internet.
The confidentiality of quantum communication is a complete leap forward and cannot be cracked by current foreign technology.
Well, they can't even crack blue-green lasers and neutrinos.
In their view, quantum communication is basically alien technology.
The Great White Shark-class submarines are highly automated, and many things that originally required manual operation and monitoring can now be controlled by computers.
And due to the use of full-battery propulsion, it requires much fewer personnel than current mainstream submarines.
For example, crew members who operate and maintain lead-acid batteries, diesel engines, and generator systems can be eliminated.
Therefore, although the Great White Shark class is a large submarine with a displacement of 4,600 tons, its capacity is only 48 people, including ten officers and eighteen non-commissioned officers.
Under the condition that the cabin space is of the same size, naturally the smaller the number of people, the larger the per capita living area and the better the habitability.
Similarly, when the number of supplies is the same, the smaller the number of people, the longer the self-sustainability will be.
This is a very simple math problem that even an elementary school student can calculate.
Weapons such as submarines require long-term submersibility.
The better the habitability, the better the morale and condition of the officers and soldiers can be maintained; the longer the self-sustainability, the more combat opportunities can be found, and the higher the combat efficiency will be.
This class of submarine is equipped with a fitness room, entertainment room, and a small library, which is very user-friendly.
Nowadays, the officers and soldiers who are not on duty on the submarine are watching the news by the TV.
Because everyone on the submarine has a laptop, there are only two TVs, one in the dining room and one in the conference room, but they are both 128x72 cm in size. large screen lcd tv.
Well, the performance of LCD monitors made in China has finally reached the level of the early 21st century, and the price has also dropped to an acceptable level.
However, large screens like this are still relatively expensive, and are only equipped on submarines with the best treatment for officers and soldiers, as well as the most important large ships.
The TVs on other small and medium-sized ships still use cheap cathode tube ray displays.
"Dear viewers, dear listeners, hello everyone, I am CCTV on-site reporter Yuan Xuefei.
I am reporting on-site for you in Washington, USA."
On the screen was Yuan Xuefei, a well-known beauty reporter from CCTV.
Behind her was the U.S.
Congress building.
At this time, a large number of Americans holding banners and signs were demonstrating in front of the White House.
"Hey, what are these Americans doing, it's like they've been given chicken blood?"
"Haha, the plane was shot down, and there are dozens of people there, can you not be anxious?"
The officers and soldiers were all joking with the attitude of watching a show.
They were really watching the fun and not afraid of the big trouble.
Although each of them has a laptop, it is more enjoyable to watch programs on a big screen with stereo sound, and everyone can brag and beat the shit together, so the restaurant has become a cinema and projection room.
"I am outside the U.S.
Congress building.
I believe you have also seen that there are at least five thousand people gathered here.

They are holding a march against the German Empire."
Yuan Xuefei suddenly paused and said with a look of surprise: "Ah, I see When someone is burning the German flag and pictures of Wilhelm III and Hitler, the photographer please turn the camera."
As soon as the camera turned, everyone saw a group of Americans burning the German flag, and some people burned portraits of William III and Hitler.
The portraits were deliberately vilified, with Wei San and a mustache painted to look like they had horns on their heads and on their buttocks.
The image of a devil with a long tail.
"Kill all the Germans" "Hang Hitler, hang Wilhelm III" "Get the Krauts out of America" The Americans on the screen were shouting various slogans angrily.
Everyone's face was red and excited.
Facing these angry crowds, the American police who maintained order had no intention of stopping them, and instead looked relaxed.
"Tch, it's hard to say whether the plane was shot by the Germans."
A sailor curled his lips and said disapprovingly.
"That's right.
It was a battlefield at that time.
Maybe it was the British."
"According to me, this is a deliberate excuse by the Americans.
Regardless of whether the Germans were responsible for the attack, they insist that it is not the case."
The officers and soldiers were discussing enthusiastically as if they were watching the excitement.
Well, the reason why the Americans are making such a fuss this time is that on the night of April 1st, one of their DC4 large passenger planes was shot down over Ireland.
The DC4 in this plane is different from the one in the original time and space.
This is a six-engine large passenger plane specially developed by the United States in order to break up with China and Germany.
This kind of passenger aircraft is also the first passenger aircraft in the United States that can fly across the Atlantic Ocean without landing.
Its maximum range is more than 12,000 kilometers.
It can carry 90 passengers directly from New York to London.
This is also the current main model of transoceanic transportation in the United States.
The flight's route was originally supposed to go to Iceland, but for some reason it deviated to Ireland.
Now the Germans are having an unpleasant fight with the British in Ireland.
If you have a normal IQ, any passenger plane should know to avoid it, and the two countries have also warned each other internationally in advance.
However, the passenger plane seemed not to know and continued to fly over Ireland.
At that time, it happened to encounter daily air combat between Germany and Britain.
As a result, the DC4 large passenger plane was shot down and then crashed into the Irish sea.
All 90 passengers and 8 crew members on board were killed.
After the news came out, the Americans quit.
As for who was shot down, Britain and Germany both said it was the other side, but later Iceland produced a tape that was said to be a conversation between the plane and the airport commander.
It contains the pilot's words at the time, and according to his statement, it was the German aircraft that attacked him.
So now the United States is in a state of panic.
Because this plane crash happened to happen on April Fools' Day, it was also called "Bloody April Fools' Day" by the media from various countries.
Driven intentionally or unintentionally by the US government, consortium and media, public sentiment in the United States is about to go crazy.
Large-scale anti-German demonstrations are taking place across the United States.
German embassies, consulates and companies in the United States have been watched.
As for those German-Americans, they are even more unlucky.
The angry American cowboys cannot find genuine Germans.
Let's take it out on these unsuspecting Germans.
Well, just think about what happened to Japanese Americans during World War II in the original time and space, and you can imagine the situation of German Americans at this time.
Classmate "Cactus" Garner is not as amiable as Master Luo.
He is originally a redneck.
After he came to power, the social atmosphere in the United States turned violently to the right and towards fascism.

Many German military officers and government officials were expelled for various reasons.
After exiting, the rest was blocked from the upper floors by the glass ceiling.
Moreover, Germany in this dimension did not lose the First World War.
Many Germans felt that they were treated unfairly during the First World War.
After the First World War, they left the United States in large numbers, either immigrating to West Africa or South America.
Therefore, the number of Germans in the United States at this time is much smaller than in the original time and space, and their social influence is even lower.
The situation is naturally worse than in the original time and space.
"Dear viewers, the U.S.
Congress just informed us that there is important news to announce that the vote of Congress has come out.
Now the whole United States is advocating to declare war on Germany.
As far as I know, the U.S.
Congress is holding an emergency meeting.
So what will be the result now?
Get up and pay attention," Yuan Xuefei said excitedly, her face flushed with excitement.
They have now reached the small square outside the White House.
The screen showed that a lectern had been placed on the podium in the square, and it was filled with microphones.
Soon, U.S.
President John Nance Garner came out surrounded by a large crowd of lawmakers and guards.
Garner walked onto the podium with a serious expression.
He looked at the crowd around him and said, "Dear citizens, I want to announce an important decision now."
The noisy crowd suddenly became quiet.
Garner took out a document and said: "The House and Senate have just voted unanimously to declare war on Germany.
I hereby declare that from now on, the United States of America and the German Empire have entered a state of war."
"Oh oh oh" "Long live the war, long live America" The American crowd present immediately cheered.
"War has been declared.
War has been declared.
Audiences, have you heard it?
The United States has declared war on Germany."
Yuan Xuefei was so excited that her voice was out of tune.
"Damn it, it's really revealed that the Yankees are really good."
The officers and soldiers in front of the TV jumped up.
"It's announced, it's announced, the Yankees have announced the Germans."
A sailor quickly ran to the command cabin, shouting excitedly along the way.
The Ghanaian classmate on the screen was competing in his acting skills.
He said excitedly: "Our United States of America is a truly great, proud and brave country.
We would rather face any disasters of war than sacrifice our national dignity.
Even if we exchange for humble prosperity, we will surely win.”
"We must win, we must win, we must win, America must win."
Americans throughout the Capitol Square were shouting and shouting
