The next day, the three parties began their official visit itinerary. The first was to conduct military exchanges on land, located at the Japanese Navy's onshore training base in Nagasaki, and the project was set up somewhat similar to that of the Army.

This time, the visiting fleet of East China ** also brought a company of Marines, and this time they fought and participated in all competitions.

Although in this era, other countries have no formal Marine Corps organization except East China*, there are generally a small number of troops responsible for landing operations in the navy. Therefore, there are also land combat training projects in the navy. Today's drill projects do not require soldiers on warships to participate.

However, after the competition began, the performance of the Marine Corps in East China surprised the officers and soldiers of the United States and Japan, because the Marine Corps in East China is formally organized and the selection of soldiers is also selected from the best. The training is not only strict, but also specifically targets landing operations and shores in various environments. The battle in the beach area is extremely systematic and far from comparable to landing combat troops in the navy of the United States and Japan.

Although in order to avoid conflict, this onshore exercise did not set up direct confrontation projects between the two sides, but soldiers from the three sides showed their training and combat skills. However, whether it was the display of combat skills such as shooting skills, bayonet fighting, bare hands fighting, throwing, or the display of action skills such as swimming, crossing roads, crossing obstacles, climbing high and low, the Marines in East China all showed extremely high military qualities and solid basic skills, and were obviously much better than those of Japanese and American landing combat soldiers.

From the perspective of the Japanese Navy, the individual combat technical qualities demonstrated by this group of Marines in East China are among the top-notch in the Japanese Army. You should know that although the Japanese Army showed many criticisms in the Far East War, such as rigid command, rigid tactics, insufficient response, etc., their personal combat qualities and spiritual morale were recognized by the world. Therefore, even if this group of Marines in East China are elites selected from the army, their qualities should not be underestimated.

In fact, this Far East War has had a great impact on the world war. New weapons and new tactics are used in large quantities. All countries have established special research institutions. Among them, landing combat tactics are one of the new tactics that are most valued by all countries. Because before that, there has been no real landing combat. In a war, landing in a war is generally to choose a coast where the enemy is not defended or has poor defense, and transport soldiers ashore with small boats. The previous Sino-French war French troops landed in Taiwan, and the Japanese army landed in Shandong during the Sino-French War.

However, although this landing method can avoid the enemy's shore-based defense, it is difficult to transport heavy weapons and logistics supplies to the shore, because the enemy's unpreserved or poor defense coasts are often more difficult to land on coasts. In this era when heavy weapons and logistics are becoming increasingly important in wars, this landing method is obviously unacceptable. Moreover, as countries pay more attention to shore-based coastal defense, it will be difficult to find unpreserved or poor defense coastlines in future wars.

In this Far East War, East China launched several landing operations in succession, all of which chose the coast where the enemy focused on the defense, but they also achieved great success. This not only made the People's Army Navy's Marine Corps famous, but also made the landing combat tactics officially appear on the stage of war, and also made all countries realize the importance of the Marine Corps. Therefore, some countries have begun to prepare for the formation of the Marine Corps.

Although Japan and the United States have not yet established a Marine Corps, both countries are maritime countries and attach importance to the construction and development of the navy. Naturally, they know that the importance of the Marine Corps is, but Japan has just suffered a crushing defeat and was seriously injured. The navy has only begun to rebuild. The main task of the United States is to sail around the world, so they have not cared about the matter of the Shanghai Marine Corps, but the relevant theoretical research has been started. Now, we have seen the Marine Corps exercise performance, and have strengthened the plan of the two countries to establish and vigorously develop the Marine Corps.

After the drill, soldiers from the three sides had a dinner together and performed some personal talent performances of the soldiers to liven up the atmosphere and increase the mutual understanding and friendship between the soldiers from the three sides. During the dinner, the soldiers from the East China and Japan had basically no exchanges, but the American soldiers still jumped and frequently came to the ranks of soldiers from the East China and Japan to find people who performed well in the drill to express their admiration, because the Japanese navy and the Japanese navy all teach English, and the general communication between the soldiers was not a big problem. Of course, if you were happy with the talk, you naturally couldn't help but have a drink. Anyway, this was the only thing for the land combat troops. After today, there was no matter if they were drunk.

On the one hand, this is because Americans are cheerful, have strong social skills, and have a wide range of hobbies; on the other hand, the United States and the East China National Government and Japan maintain relatively good relationships and have no hostility. Although Americans have a natural sense of racial superiority towards Asians, Japan is the host and always gives them some face. However, the soldiers of the East China National Government sincerely admired them. They won the Far East War and slammed the four countries of Britain, France, Japan and Russia. Several countries can do it. Americans also advocate force and respect heroes, so they naturally have different attitudes towards the East China National Government.

The subsequent joint exercise at sea was conducted, with warships playing the leading role. Although East China only sent 4 warships this time, they were all cruisers, with the largest tonnage of only 7,300 tons. Not only can it not be compared with the US Navy, but it is also a big difference between the Japanese Navy. Although the Japanese Navy is still in the reconstruction period, it can also pull out 2 17,000-ton battleships, 2 10,000-ton armored cruisers, and several other protective cruisers that can be regarded as promising. Therefore, in comparison, East China's fleet is much shabby.

However, during the exercise, the warships of East China were still eye-catching. In the queue change exercise, the advantages of cruisers' maneuverability and flexibility were fully utilized. Not only did they complete the time short, but they also had uniform movements. In the maritime shooting exercise, both the rate of fire and hit were higher than the warships of Japan and the United States. The US Navy had just begun to expand its scale. Although it had built many warships, its training level had not yet kept up, and it lacked practical experience. The Japanese Navy had a lot of practical experience and was very strict in the training, but there were too many casualties in the Far East War, and most of the crew members were novices, so naturally they could not compare with the large number of well-trained and participated in actual combat on the warships of East China.

All of these three days were spent at sea, and the warships of the Three Kingdoms took turns to serve as command ships, organized drills, and also conducted joint drills such as mixed fleet formation navigation. In addition to the drills, the Three Kingdoms also organized dinner parties at sea. Finally, the atmosphere of this drill was still harmonious.

When the fleet returned to the shore again, it was the last day of this visit. The shore party was held. Except for the necessary left-behind personnel left on the warships, everyone else participated. Of course, the United States could only draw some people from each warship to participate, otherwise it would be impossible to put them on the shore.

Because it was a party, this event was relatively relaxed, and the activities held were mainly entertainment. In the morning, the Three Kingdoms Football Championship was held, with the soldiers of the Three Kingdoms organizing the teams and taking turns to play a 45-minute game. This was also the only event in this visit where two parties directly confronted each other.

Among the army of East China, football is always the most important and most popular sports activity, both in the navy and in the army. On the one hand, most veteran officers like football and self-weaving; on the other hand, football not only helps soldiers strengthen their bodies, but also cultivates soldiers' sense of group cooperation and collective spirit, which is most suitable for the army's sports. Since the veterans' football knowledge and technical and tactical level are far superior to this era, under their guidance, although the army's football team is amateur, the level of the era is absolutely the highest. In the few exchange activities with foreign troops in East China, the football team of East China's military has left a deep impression on the other side.

This time is naturally no exception. In the Three Kingdoms Football Championship, East China ** first faced the United States, then played Japan, each playing a 45-minute game, and finally the United States and Japan played another game. As a result, East China ** did not give up on everyone's expectations. Both games ended 3-1, and the whole game basically controlled the situation, leaving the opponent with almost no chance. The goal he lost was also intentionally letting the opponent score a goal in the last 10 minutes of the game, so that the opponent scored a goal to save some face. In the end, the United States won 2-1 against Japan.

However, although the two sides were directly confronting each other, it was just a sports competition after all, and the nature of entertainment was greater than the nature of confrontation, and no one was too concerned about it for a while. Therefore, the soldiers participating in the competition played very civilized, basically no deliberate fouls, and even physical confrontation was not very fierce. Some people fell and some people helped him. The atmosphere was quite friendly, and the losing side was not very depressed. Moreover, some people scored goals, and all parties were cheering for him. The scene was very lively.

After the competition, the dinner started. This time, the three parties drew cooks from the warships to make food on the spot, and the soldiers from the other two countries could be rewarded at will. The soldiers could also walk around at will and communicate with the soldiers from the other two countries. After all, after practicing together for 4 days, there was less separation and more familiarity between each other, and even some soldiers made friends.
