Chapter 15 of Part 5 Submarine! It turns out to be a submarine!

(Note, in 1881, Americans solved the problem of submarine launching torpedoes underwater, so some of the statements in the forum have few deviations.)

How many things can you do in an hour? If you put them in the forum and shout, there will be many answers. For example, if you have sex once and move faster, you can do it twice.

Xu Yifan had only one answer. In the past hour, the submarine had scubassed for seven nautical miles. The past hour was as long as ten years!

"Float!" The sea surface on the coast brought out undetectable waves, and six submarines floated out one after another, like a poisonous snake standing upright with a triangular head.

"I saw it, such a big guy." Xu Yifan murmured in a low voice. The one who appeared in his sight was the main force of the Japanese Combined Fleet, the Yamato battleship.

"All the targets are paying attention. They are in front of them. From the appearance, they are Yamato. They concentrate all torpedoes to sink them. After launching, dive immediately, raise the periscope, and each finds the target to start."

The sea surface in the dark was as silent as if it was dead. After a day of tossing, most of the people had already gone to bed early. Of course, some people could not sleep, and Yuki Ito could not sleep. Sitting in his command cabin, there were two plates of side dishes and a pot of sake on the small table.

"I appease you and others billions of dollars, and finally want to open up the waves of thousands of miles, spread the country's prestige in all directions, and set the world in the peace of Fugaku." What Emperor Meiji said at the beginning of his ascension to the throne inspired a generation of passionate young people in Japan. When I was a teenager, Yuuki Ito wrote the above words said by himself, and joined the navy and embarked on the road to the west.

Decades passed in the blink of an eye. The passionate young man of the past has become an important figure in the Imperial Navy today. Although the ideal is still there, the reality is so cruel.

During the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, Yuki Ito almost saw the opportunity for Japan's rise, but just when the victory was within reach, Shen Congyun, who had never been very dewy, emerged from the sky. One hundred thousand tigers fought in the Northeast first and then in the Shandong Peninsula. Japan exhausted the national strength and fought for a year of war. When the victory was right in front of him, Shen Congyun poured several basins of cold water on his head.

In front of the new army built by Shen Congyun, the elite division of the empire was as vulnerable as a native chicken and a tiled dog. It scattered across the Liaodong Peninsula and fought the Beiyang Qing army, Nogi, who fled to the wind, and Gaiping fled overnight in a battle. After returning to the country, he apologized.

Although the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 ended with a seemingly no advantage between both sides, Yuki Ito was soberly aware that Japan may not have the chance to step out of East Asia in the next fifty years. The reason is very simple. China is really too big. China lost in the Sino-Japanese War of 1895, Japan cannot afford to lose, and even reconcile.
