When the U-47 submarine traveled through the icy waters of the North Atlantic Ocean by wind and waves, his route continued to extend forward, just crossing the trajectory of a huge transport fleet. [And this huge transport fleet is precisely the various maintenance supplies that the United States sent to Iceland.
In order to deliver more supplies to the Icelandic authorities and to ensure the absolute safety of Iceland, this huge transport fleet even loaded a full 3,000 American soldiers to strengthen the British defensive positions on Iceland.
Standing on the bridge of a transport ship, the head of an infantry regiment of the US Army turned pale. He was very uncomfortable with this long-distance maritime transportation, so he complained to the officers around him: "I really don't understand why we are transporting so many supplies and soldiers to the place where the volcano is still smoking."
The waves on the Atlantic Ocean made all seasick people feel uncomfortable. Most of these poor American soldiers have not experienced such distressing sea waves, so everyone experienced discomfort symptoms such as vomiting.
"I don't know, listening to the division said that we are only the first soldiers to be sent to the island, and then the entire division will be transported to the island one after another to prevent the German army from landing across the sea ... cough!" Answered his battle. The staff member's face was not very good-looking. The long-term shaking at the sea made his appetite weak and his speech seemed weak. They are the US Army, but not those of the US Marine Corps. If they must be divided, such tasks should be performed by the US Marine Corps soldiers.
"Mr. President must have been blinded by the British guys." Pulling the vomiting bag, the leader began to feel that something in his stomach was tumbling, and he vomited twice before he vomited again. Continue to say, "Otherwise, why do we have to help the British with weapons and supplies and send us to the kind of place where the birds don't shit?"
"The espionage department is convinced that the Germans are investing more and more experiences in atomic weapons." An American intelligence officer who went to Iceland with a ship also happened to be on this ship. He did not speak just because he was also an unsuitable person. Poor worm on the ship's journey, he has vomited the contents of his stomach since yesterday, and he hasn't eaten anything yet.
He looked at the vomiting bag in the head of the regiment, and there was another impulse in his stomach, so he supported an iron handrail around him, and said quickly, "The German may have begun to master More powerful super weapons, so we ca n’t give them Iceland ’s outpost. If they occupy Iceland, it is possible to bombard New York or Washington with bombers.

"Go to hell, when you were still in Congress two days ago, you claimed that the Germans began mass production of battleships and aircraft carriers, trying to attack New York and the east coast of the United States ... Some people even claimed that Germany had plans to land in the United States, but everyone knows That's alarmist. "The head of the group retched twice, and there was really nothing in his stomach to vomit, so he spoke slowly, refuting the officer of the US intelligence service.
The US intelligence service does provide a lot of information about the German army, but most of this information is speculative or has no evidence. So even though the military still has many departments that believe in German scientific research progress in private, it cannot be corroborated by details.
For example, six months ago, Americans discovered that several German universities participated in research on atomic weapons, but they could not continue their investigation. The Gestapo and SS have destroyed countless spy networks in the United States, leaving the United States with no decent progress in this regard.
However, Americans still know that there are many heavy water factories in Norway and on the mainland. Imperial University Berlin and several other universities are all studying atomic weapons on a large scale. There is even a latest investigation report showing that the Germans have successfully used enriched uranium centrifuges to purify some uranium ore mined from the Czech Republic.
However, there is not much evidence to prove the news, so there is not much persuasion in the US Congress. Although the United States, Roosevelt and others believe that the Germans are developing a variety of super weapons, this kind of belief can only stay at this level of belief.
Moreover, because the intelligence agencies are involved in too many complicated things, so some things are joined together, it becomes unrecognizable fake news. For example, the Imperial University of Berlin purchases and uses a large number of electron tubes, which is recorded in the United States-but Americans count these things on the German atomic bomb project.
"Just because of some inexplicable information, and then according to your speculation, sent a full 3,000 soldiers to such a place?" The head of the regiment said more and more that he felt aggrieved: "You might as well send us to Britain Anyway, we can die a little bit more powerful. "
Now the Americans have regarded fighting with the Germans as a disaster. They resisted being sent to the distant Middle East, and even preferred to pass through Australia and then bypass the Japanese naval activity area to reach India directly, rather than take German navy submarines everywhere. Cruising the South Atlantic route.
And the German sharks that hunt underwater in the North Atlantic are lingering nightmares in the United States and British captains. These unscrupulous submarines will attack any enemy ship that enters their range of attack. Sometimes they even sink the passenger ship accidentally, and then send a clear telegram to the Americans to provide the coordinates of the sunk civilian ship. .
"Come on, Congress just rejected the proposal to send 100,000 troops to the Soviet Union to assist the Eastern Front. Now it is not easy to fight directly with the Germans." The intelligence officer said after a bitter smile. "Now there are many factions inside the Soviet Union, and those people don't have Stalin's guts, they just wait for Stalin to die and sign a peace treaty with the Germans."
"The situation over the Soviet Union is already so dangerous?" The head of the team apparently heard the news for the first time, frowning and asking, "We have supported so many weapons and materials, they have not been able to hold back German?"
"Isn't it ... actually telling you nothing, almost everyone knows this kind of secret." The intelligence officer may have been sent to a place like Iceland, and he was a little bit resentful and surrendered, so he directly took the confidential documents. Evening News said: "I heard that the above is compressing the goods sent to the Soviet Union, I am afraid that it will eventually be cheaper for the Germans."
The three people were still talking about various situations in your words, and suddenly a warning alert came from the periphery of the fleet. The entire fleet was busy, and all ships began to accelerate slowly. Some anti-aircraft guns were already seated in seamen wearing life jackets.
"Alert! Alert! A destroyer found a German submarine! Alert!" A crew member ran quickly, shouted at several American officers, and ran quickly from their side Ever. The red alarm in the cabin was shining, and the American soldiers in the hammock looked at the busy sailors with frightened eyes.
"Boom! Boom!" The outermost surface of the fleet, the distant surface of the sea, came the sound of the destroyer guns roaring, who knows that they fired with the main gun at this time, in addition to being bold, what can cause the German submarine Fatal injury. And another sailor arrived, and began to give life jackets to several American officers on the bridge.
"Hey! Are you going to throw us who can't swim into the sea?" The American commander shouted a little bit dissatisfied with the crew.
While trying to explain the lifejacket as much as possible, the crew responded without looking up: "Sir, we are at the core of the entire fleet, so generally there is no danger. But we must guarantee your Life is safe, so you can only put on your life jacket first. "
"Doesn't German submarines usually only attack at night? Do we have to be so nervous during this day?" The US intelligence officer in charge of intelligence work checked his own life jacket and asked the man who kept giving life jackets. Sailor knotting on the rope.
The sailor was still busy with his work, but he replied without a pause: "Sir, German submarines do attack only at night. However, some German captains also launch torpedoes during the day. This is not a certain rule. "
Before he finished speaking, the artillery fire on the periphery stopped and the message that the alarm was lifted: "The alarm was lifted! The alarm was lifted! The German submarine did not launch an attack, and most of our fleet passed dangerous seas! Repeat one side , The alarm is cleared! The alarm is cleared ... "
So everyone slacked off, and the army soldiers who thought they were dead began to pray nonstop, and some people kept drawing a cross on their chests to thank God for his kindness.
For the sailors of the navy and transport ships, all of this is commonplace. They shuttle around the sea all the year round and often encounter this situation. The lookout may be mistaken for a whale or anything else as a German submarine because of tension, and then the entire fleet is nervous for a while, and the alarm is finally lifted.
Sometimes, the fake targets found may be real German submarines, because during the day, the German submarines only track the fleet far away, indicating the direction and speed of the allied fleet for the friendly forces behind them. They like to spend the night at night. Launch an attack, which is more conducive to their ascent and launch a valuable torpedo with a more perfect angle.
