Chapter 2324 Core Issues    4 (Page 1/1)

As for the Japanese Navy? The current situation is equipment and others. During the war, the British were still very technically interested in the Japanese. Shortly after the British aircraft carrier started construction, the Japanese Navy shared some technical content and began to build Japan's first aircraft carrier, the Fengxiang. It also arranged elite pilots to conduct maritime take-off and landing experiments. However, no matter what, the Japanese aircraft carrier technical level is the worst among major naval powers and the largest gap. If everyone is fighting from a long-distance ocean, the Japanese Navy will be very passive in the face of the integrated strikes of the US and German navy!

Therefore, this is also the second goal of Kikujiro Ishii coming to the UK! In addition to solving the engine problem, it also needs to solve the construction and use of aircraft carriers! To be honest, although judging from the current situation, it is impossible for the United States and Japan to go to war within one year. After all, the premise for the United States to start a war is that the German navy participates in the war, and it obviously takes a long time for the Germans to clarify the messy things after the war ends, and it is obvious that it will take quite a while for the Germans to stabilize the country. It will be clear how long it took to see in history from the Armistice of the War 1 to the signing of the Versailles Treaty.

However, the construction cycle of the navy's warships is also very long! Even a relatively simple aircraft carrier is the same. So, the Japanese must prepare as soon as possible? And if possible, the Japanese Navy hopes that the British can help build it. Don't think that only the local people can build the UK. India and Singapore have large ships. It is not possible to build battleships with very high standards, but it is still okay to change to merchant ships!

In fact, if the aircraft carrier performance is only required and there is a relatively suitable hull, the improvement will be very fast. For example, the world's first fully decked aircraft carrier, the Hundred-Eyed Giant, was launched on December 2, 1917, and the aircraft carrier was transformed in May 1918... In this era, aircraft carriers did not require as complex as World War II. To a certain extent, most of the current aircraft carriers are closer to the US escort carriers in World War II. They do not require speeds of more than 32 knots, nor do military ship standards, and they will not easily take off or even 25 or even 30,000 tons of water. Carrier-based aircraft take-off and landing are not harsh. Well, that's it!

So, with the help of technological advantages, the British once again gained the dominance of the negotiations! Do the Japanese want to obtain a complete set of aircraft carrier tactics and usage experience? Do you want the British to make up for the insufficient number of aircraft carriers in the Japanese fleet? Then agree to the conditions of the British Empire!

"I repeat the bottom line of the British Empire. The issue of suppressing the Indian uprising must be done as we say. For the Russian issue, your country should appropriately restrain itself and give us a channel to contact Kolchak and Denikin. Do you understand what I mean?" Asquith's words hit Kikujiro Ishii's heart like a heavy hammer. Faced with the scheming British who were wise and had technical advantages, Kikujiro Ishii felt that Japan had too few bargaining chips!

Fortunately, this time the British did not stubbornly on the Russian issue, lowered their offer on the Russian issue, and continued to persist on the Indian issue! After some adjustments, Kikujiro Ishii felt that this condition did not seem unacceptable!

"We will try our best to do the Indian issue. As for the extent to which it can be, it depends on your sincerity." Kikujiro Ishii struggled for a moment and said.

"We will try to increase the number of engines. Our aircraft has not been removed yet. I can guarantee that after the Royal Air Force dismantled the excess aircraft, we can provide at least 2,000 various engines to your country, and we will also provide your country with the aircraft design drawings on the list. If your country's carpenters are not good, we can also provide processed wings and fuselage materials. At present, the number of engines we ship to your country will also be as high as possible, reaching at least about 175% of the current within 2 months! During the war, as long as the Germans did not firmly eliminate them, we will continue to provide them. As for the issue of setting up a factory in the Philippines, we can continue to discuss it in the future." Now, the other party has expressed his willingness to help the UK solve the Indian problem "free" and Asquis's answer is also very sincere!

Maybe some people have said that the technical difficulty of wooden fuselage and wings is not high. Japan will not even lack the ability to manufacture this, right? How to say this? In fact, wooden fuselage is also very particular. For example, the mosquito aircraft made by the British is called the wood miracle, while the wooden aircraft of the Soviet Union in World War II did not meet this standard. To achieve this, you must have the "meteorite" brand adhesive unique to the British and the complex and detailed processing process. It seems very simple, but a suitable adhesive can make countries with slightly worse technical levels feel extremely uncomfortable. And if you have the necessary material preparation and a reasonable production process, even a considerable part of the mosquito aircraft in World War II can be processed by a furniture factory! What's more, the current aircraft parts?

And the best thing is that both Germans and Americans cannot supervise the production of such aircraft fuselages! After all, the glue used for the fuselage is used for civilian purposes, and the so-called molds can also be easily destroyed and rebuilt. Moreover, because the construction is not difficult, they can be completely dispersed to the colonies. This makes people unable to check! Historically, the Germans could find loopholes in the strict Versailles peace treaty, and the British could do the same!

At this point, the United States and Japan reached an agreement on the supply of aircraft engines. The first issue of negotiations was solved. However, the issue of aircraft carriers was far from being negotiated. It was not that the British did not want to give it to, but that Asquith didn't understand it at all!

"As for the issue of aircraft carriers, the Empire agreed in principle, but this is a very professional matter. I hope it will be better for professionals to do it. Although the war has ended, the Royal Navy still did not relax its vigilance. They are still summarizing the gains and losses of this naval battle. Your country should arrange professionals to contact the navy in this regard. I believe that General Betty and General Thomas will give your country a satisfactory reply. In addition, what I need to explain to your country is that we cannot provide a complete aircraft carrier. We can only provide a high-degree hull and export it in the name of civilian ships, and may even pass through a third country, well that's it." Asquith said.

"We understand your country's difficulties, and we will arrange corresponding personnel to discuss these matters with your country. We hope that in this war related to the Far East pattern, the friendship between the Japanese Empire and the British Empire can continue." Kikujiro Ishii said.

"At least we are still friends now." Asquith said with a sigh.
