Chapter 1175: Prelude to Destruction
"My Uncle Chengzhang, do you know the displacement of Yamato?! It's 65,000 tons!" Tu Menghu almost couldn't hold it in and curse...
Is the Yamato so easy to salvage?! The entire hull was blown up in a mess, and it was not cost-effective to salvage this thing!
Salvage ships is not a simple task, especially this kind of warship with huge displacement. The money, time and energy it takes to salvage is absolutely terrifying.
The Yamato was already blown up and full of holes. I don’t think it could be done if I salvaged it. Is it possible to build a museum after returning it? No matter what, it is not cost-effective.
The overall salvage of the wreck is extremely complicated and complicated. First, anchor and position it to prevent the hull from displaced by the seawater flow. At the same time, you must also prepare to clear out the silt and sand brought by the seawater on the ship.
However, countless huge tugboats are needed to use solid steel cables to form a huge net bag. Countless barges need to constantly pull the net bag and slowly pull the battleship to the water surface.
This process is the most dangerous. If you want to pull it up at the bottom of the water, the physics and buoyancy in the middle need to be calculated by special engineers.
A small negligence may very likely lead to the trawler fleet responsible for salvage being directly dragged into the sea by rapidly sinking warships. This will kill many people and will also lead to losses of the tugboat.
And those steel cables should also be noted that the salvage of such large warships cannot be solved in a short while. Therefore, the streamer needs to consider the corrosion of seawater and the long-term use of the surname.
When the tugboat slowly drags the warship out of the sea, a large number of repair personnel are required to enter the warship for repair, including welding, plugging of leaks, unblocking, etc.
The ultimate goal is to ensure that the warship must at least restore its self-floating ability. This process is also extremely long, especially this giant warship.
It can be said that there is no experience in salvaging large warships of more than 60,000 tons in the world. The USS Arizona, a large battleship sunk in Pearl Harbor, is only 32,000 tons.
Yamato is more than twice as high as him. The expenses spent on salvaging such a super battleship are definitely increasing in geometric multiples. Yamato is definitely not worth so much money.
Battleships have withdrawn from the era, and the navy in this era is the era of aircraft carriers, cruisers and submarines. Aircraft carriers are the top priority among naval combat forces.
"Uncle Qi Liu~ My Uncle Six, please show it. Uncle Cheng Zhang is so fucking. He really thinks we have too much money now..." Tu Menghu smiled bitterly and handed Shen Honglie's whimsical plan to Su Zongzhe who was rushing in front of him.
Su Zongzhe took the plan and read it in a hurry, but he could only smile bitterly.
"In terms of income alone, salvage of the Yamato is indeed extremely unprofitable. But Commander-in-Chief, you must also understand the Navy's mind..." Su Zongzhe sighed: "Old Shen knew that the Dingyuan was demolished by Japan, so he even went to build a house to commemorate it. The anger he was holding in his stomach was so great..."
"I guess he was seeking to take revenge once. He salvaged the Japanese pride, the Yamato, and then used it for exhibitions and to increase morale for the navy."

Can the Japanese army, who have fought for several days, compete with the national defense force that has rotated to compete for physical strength?! These are obviously impossible.
"Tojo San, we have less than two remaining teams now..." Yamada Yoko walked into the command center covered in smoke and said in a deep voice: "It seems... we have entered the last moment."
"Let's be buried with you..." Hideki Tojo put down the telegram and said tremblingly: "At least this will preserve the last little dignity of your and my emperors..."
"I don't want my descendants to be shamed by me, even if they are defeated. At least we can use our lives to exchange for some dignity for them."
The sound of cannons roared on the position, and the Japanese soldiers from the two regiments rushed to the position and then were smashed by the tiger. The broken stones on the ground, the wailing soldiers and the crowds screaming and the continuous dispersion...
The guns were thrown all over the ground. Indeed, not everyone is so brave. When persistence collapses in the last line of defense in his heart, everything from hard work and patience will no longer exist.
The empire has collapsed, and Japan has collapsed. This incident broke the final psychological bottom line of the Japanese soldiers. Although the cabinet and the base camp tried every means to hide this fact.
But in fact, the real situation spread, and the entire Japan no longer had the reason to endure. The last bottom line that everyone insisted on was collapsed.
"Tojo, what are you going to do?!" Yamada Yozo looked at the chaos outside the command center, with people running around everywhere. Countless Japanese soldiers threw their guns down and fled to the rear with no life.
Behind them were the armored troops of the National Defense Forces that were crushed. The tanks brought waves of dust and smoke, and all the ruins were crushed by tracks and dust flying everywhere.
The soldiers of the National Defense Force followed the tank silently and slowly pressed forward. There were no living Japanese soldiers on the position.
Those screaming and bloody bodies were killed by the National Defense Forces soldiers who rushed up...
"Let us safeguard our last dignity..." Hideki Tojo smiled miserably, took out his gun and pointed it at his heart.
He could not raise the courage to have a caesarean section. Although he admired those who had a caesarean section very much, he asked himself that he could not do it, and he could not bear the pain of a caesarean section. Perhaps, it was more acceptable for him to die like this.
Yamada Yokohiro also took out his gun with a wry smile. Since he died, he would die together. At least in this way, his family would not be embarrassed by him...
"Bang! Bang!!" Two gunshots rang out...
But Yamada and Tojo were not dead. Because the pistols on their hands were shot away, and at the same time, a group of men in yellow gay clothes rushed into the command center with expressionless expressions.
Yamada Yozo and Tojo Hideki were quickly pressed to the ground, and several men who pressed them down quickly tied them up with ropes.
"Don't want to die so easily, unless we want you to die. Otherwise, you still have to live until I think you can die before you die."
A man in the lead grinned and looked at the two stunned senior Japanese military officers and said, "Our commander-in-chief is tired of collecting sabers. I heard that he has been constipated recently. So he plans to find two generals who have been the chief commander of the Japanese base camp to clean the toilet. This may be a miraculous effect on laxatives! Hahaha..."
"I protest! You are not in line with the spirit of the JNeva Convention! We require the treatment of prisoners of war, we require humane treatment! We require..."
Hideki Tojo first realized that he would die. Since that's the case, then try to get some treatment for the living self. At least, let yourself not live so miserable.
"Yu Nevar is a [***]!" The Wehrmacht officer sprayed disdainfully: "What our commander-in-chief has not signed before is shit! Do not care about our [***] business?! Take it away!"
The officer laughed and walked out of the command center with his own spoils. All the documents that could be found in the command center were collected and brought back to the rear of the National Defense Force.
Half an hour later, Fukuoka was fully occupied by the National Defense Forces. Subsequently, all the remaining Japanese forces hiding in the air-raid shelter were wiped out. Most Japanese soldiers chose to surrender after learning that Hideki Tojo and Yoko Yamada were captured.
Only a small number of stubborn resisters were directly torn into pieces by the Fire Crow and the Sword. The National Wehrmacht did not need air raid shelters, so the only consequence of any air raid shelters that fought back was to be completely destroyed.
Explosives will be constantly thrown into the cave and then they will be blown up and collapsed. If you don’t surrender, you will die. This is the logic of the current National Defense Forces. It’s very simple.
"We don't have time to play games with these sluts. We can get it done as soon as possible to travel to Tokyo." This is the order handed down by the commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces, Tu Menghu.
"Sweep the battlefield, clean up the worthless ones. The stubborn ones directly sit in a row, and deal with all those who try to escape. It's that simple."
It's indeed very simple, but behind the simplicity is a bloody storm...
News of the fall of Fukuoka quickly spread to Tokyo, and almost all Japanese troops around Fukuoka were withdrawn to Kyoto and Tokyo for comprehensive defense.
They knew that if the previous combat plan was still implemented, they would not be able to resist the National Defense Forces. The only thing they could do now was to concentrate their forces and try to consume the National Defense Forces' combat power.
The organized militia fled 20% overnight. In order to implement the "Yu Zhu" plan, the base camp had to send a supervision team to monitor these militias.
"The empire is completely finished..." Toushanman looked at the supervisors who shot the old man and children who were trying to escape in public, and said extremely desolately.
"From the Meiji Restoration, we have risen so quickly, but we have fallen so quickly..." Toushanman looked at all this with a wry smile.
Standing beside him was the current cabinet guard, Mr. Nishienji. Since the negotiations failed, Nishienji has been summarizing why he was obstructed by radicals.
Then, he thought of Toutanman. This grassroots hero was taken into view by him from then on, and he began to contact Toutanman. Although he used to be extremely disdainful of this gangster godfather.
"Toushan... Now we have to admit that the Empire is over. If more people want to survive, we can only agree to the negotiation conditions of the National Defense Force..."
Nishiyuanji smiled helplessly and said, "Only in this way can we have a chance to survive. Otherwise, the only thing waiting for us is massacre."
"Don't think that the tiger and his army will be unable to take action. You just need to look at China's history. The Chinese have never been kind to their enemies..."
Head mountain was full of smiles bitterly. He didn't know this? In the second year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirates turmoil in Zhili. In Zhejiang, the Ming Chengzu sent the central official Zheng He to Japan, and was ordered to fight the thieves and went to the sea from Taohua Ferry near Ningbo.
Afterwards, Wang Yuan, the king of Japan, sent an envoy to offer Japanese pirates captured on Yiqi and Ma islands. He ordered an envoy to deal with them according to his own laws, and ordered one person to make fire, and put the Japanese pirates on steaming and killing them to warn others.
At that time, Ashikaga Yoshiman, the third general of the Muromachi shogunate, received an imperial edict from Zheng He: "Let him suppress the enemy on his own and govern the law of his own country." Subsequently, Ashikaga Yoshiman did not dare to neglect and quickly accepted the rewards of the Ming Dynasty, and sent envoys to offer the captured Japanese pirates, formally establishing diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty.
At that time, the two sides signed the "Kanhe Trade Treaty", and Japan conducted tribute trade to the Ming Dynasty in the name of a vassal state. The Ming Dynasty gave Ashikaya Yoshiman a golden seal "Jiangwang King". Ashikaya Yoshiman replied to himself as "Jiangwang King, and his minister Yoshiman was the one who was born in the world."
Why was he so gentle and even killed his own people to please the Ming Dynasty?! The reason is very simple. Zheng He did not go there alone at that time. At that time, Zheng He brought him a hundred thousand navy troops!
Japan, which had comprehensive exchanges with China since the Tang Dynasty, understood more than anyone else what would happen if it was bullied this country. The former Eastern Turks were so brilliant that they could force Emperor Gaozu of Han Liu Bang to be humiliated by Bai Deng. Jie Li and Tuli even forced Emperor Taizong of Tang to be humiliated by the Wei River.
But they were unable to enjoy it for long. Emperor Wu of Han rose up and led his fierce general to kill the Huns and fled far away. Jie Li, who had once forced Emperor Taizong of Tang, and Tu Li and both eventually became prisoners of the emperor.
In just a few years, they could only perform dances in Chang'an and seek survival. In the end, the Eastern Turks could only end in destruction.
"Then, Your Excellency, what are you going to let me do?!" Toushanman was silent for a while before saying, "You know my status and you also know that I can not do much. But for this country, I think I will do my best."
"You can do it, Toushan." Xiyuan Temple turned its head and couldn't bear to look at the bloody ground, and said to Toushan Man with the bodies thrown on the road: "I want to negotiate, no matter how harsh the conditions are, we can only accept..."
"This is the only way for us to let more people survive. But now many radicals are trying to stop me from negotiating." Nishienji paused and said, "I hope you can watch these people..."
"Isn't it better to clean it up?" Toushanman frowned and said, "It will only be bad for these people to stay. Instead of making them time bombs, it's easier to let them disappear directly."
The King of Nishiyuan Temple looked at the bodies outside the window with a wry smile and said, "We have died enough. For this country, we can die less, just die less..."
