Chapter 270: Praise

Biquge EbookFREE.me, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
In the dim light, Prien is recording his voyage diary. They have been submerging for the second day, and for so long, he and his submarine u-211 have not been able to completely get rid of the British destroyer fleet. Entanglement.
Although the British navy broke its ground when it was attacked, the fine traditions formed over the years and the combat experience have allowed them to make many correct judgments. For example, let the destroyer block several important exits.
Although this action is still a step late, the U-211 submarine has fled to one of the exits of Scarpa Bay at full speed, but the British destroyer has discovered the U-211 submarine in the narrow waters.
But it was considered the first destroyer to catch up. The two torpedoes at the tail of the German submarine made this destroyer dead, because there were two friendly destroyers behind it-such a crowded place He could not hide, so the destroyer ate two torpedoes and became the last piece to help the German submarine escape.
Of course, the British were not willing to let the German submarine slip away. They used their speed to fix the position of the German submarine, so relying on the advantage of how familiar their boat is with the terrain, they frantically searched for the U-211 submarine.
As the disaster at Scarpa Bay came to an end, the loss of the British was so staggering: the battleship Monarch was killed in the ammunition depot, the main artillery shell was killed, and the instantaneous sinking caused 911 soldiers In battle, all officers including the captain were killed.
Another battleship, the Barram, failed in its rescue. As the battleship of the monarchy sank into the sea, about 700 sailors abandoned the ship at the last moment, but due to various reasons, the remaining soldiers were no longer able to leave the battleship. Although the captain of the Barram left his post tonight to attend a friend's banquet and was not on the ship, the blameless middle-aged man shot his head and broke his head two days later.
In the end, the USS Brave failed to escape the sinking fate. The British warship in the hands of the British sank on its anchor, and 892 people on board sank with it. The huge hull of the Brave made Prien think that it was the latest British Royal Ark, but the fact is that he was wrong. This old aircraft carrier blocked the gun for the main British carrier.
The last three torpedoes launched by the Germans were hurriedly aimed. At this time, it was completely the worst choice question for them, rather than the carefully planned assassination. So the other major British warships escaped the disaster, and the torpedo hit the relatively small cruiser Norfolk. What made the British pinch a cold sweat was that another battleship, Queen Elizabeth, was parked next to the Norfolk.
Can you imagine what kind of mood this is? When the British faced Germany's main fleet, they lost a battleship and an outdated aircraft carrier in a fiasco. The loss shocked the British government and opposition. And now, they were attacked by a German submarine, but they lost two battleships and one aircraft carrier at a stretch-this made people a little impulsive to curse their mother.
After receiving the report, the British Navy Secretary Churchill was unconscious; the King of England did not even blame, sitting in his place for two hours without a word; even the British Prime Minister heard the news on the spot There was a cry. The British parliament even moved the idea of ​​unilateral peace with Germany-but the idea only appeared for a few minutes and was overwhelmed by a roar of revenge.
So the British navy came out, not to find Germany for a decisive battle at sea, but to find a German submarine in the endless sea, looking for the U-211 submarine that broke through the blue sky of the British Royal Navy.
Because the density of the British naval ships searched is too great, Prien, who has become a hero of the German navy, is afraid to take risks, but he does not dare to take risks, which means he can only move forward at a slow speed. At a depth of more than ten meters underwater, his submarine can only drive at an economic speed of 4 knots, and he has to float to charge the diesel engine every 90 nautical miles.
The crew are very excited because they have completed the most incredible sneak attack and become the most successful submarine executor in human history. Their record this time has made it impossible for their colleagues to surpass for a few months-12 torpedoes brought them a total of at least 70,000 tons of sunk figures. This number of 90% of submarines may not be surpassed in their lifetime.
"Sir, we just floated to the depth of the periscope and charged the battery with a snorkel. About half an hour after the dive, a destroyer came nearby and dropped two deep-water bombs." The first officer leaned in the narrow corridor. Reported to Prienhui on the bed: "Would you like to change course again?"
"It's 15 degrees eastward! With such continuous diving, we have lost our basic judgment on the direction! I can only estimate the approximate direction now. If I am not wrong, our position should be here now." Prien After agreeing to the first officer's request, he pointed the chart to the first officer through the dim light.
"I knew we shouldn't smash the telegraph machine and burn the codebook! Now we can send back the news of the successful attack." The first sigh sighed, then said with a wry smile: "At least now we can send a telegram for help, let the Navy Come and meet us. "
"No way." Prien shook his head and said, "The mission requires that the telegraph must be destroyed and the codebook burned. I can't break the order. If the sonarist doesn't hear the sound of the British destroyer within half an hour, let the soldiers rotate and rest. . Most of them have no rest for a day. "
"I see." The first officer nodded and left the captain's lounge where Prien was. It is said to be the captain's lounge. In fact, it is integrated with such devices as the telegraph room and the debris locker. A bed is arranged only when the stitches are inserted. The only difference from the crew is that this bunk has a separate lighting device, and a small curtain can block the view.
Prien regained his mind and continued to record his results in the voyage diary. He believed that he had sunk an aircraft carrier and at least one battleship. "It may be the battleship Royal Oak or the Queen Elizabeth." He wrote in his diary.
The water is still cold, and his surroundings are still full of crises, but he successfully completed the task assigned to him by the German high level, making the British completely forget the role of the German aircraft carrier, and began to pay attention to the threat of German submarines.
But there was one thing that Prien and his adjutant had guessed wrong, that is, the next day the German Head of State Akado knew from the spy's report that Prien's results. At this moment, the German navy finally recovered its feelings, and played out a flower blooming everywhere . But in order to be cautious, Akado did not rush to announce the results of the submarine force, he ordered to verify the news carefully.
Because in World War II in another time and space, Germany once made a joke that made people cry and laugh because of the one-sided word that lied and sunk the aircraft carrier Royal Ark. So this time Akado suppressed the news of this victory and began to use spies in the UK to feed back this information.
But did not let Akado wait too long, the news of the Battle of Scarpa Bay was confirmed, because the British emperor George VI gave a famous "I and You Fight" speech, which confirmed the British battleship Bale The news of the USS, Monarch, and the aircraft carrier Brave was sunk by German submarines in the Bay of Scapa, and called on all British people to bravely resist the invasion of the Germans-"Do not defeat Germany, never negotiate!"
Of course, Akado's response was quite ironic in his personal opinion. He copied a speech that appeared only later. When he handed this speech to Fanny, Fanny flashed her eyes with excitement.
"I am sorry to tell my opponent the unfortunate news that the German Navy's killer submarine force hit the British Navy not long ago. Our brave and fearless officers and soldiers sank a large number of British Navy warships in one breath. Facts have proved that they call their invincible navy In the face of our army ’s submarine force, Akado proudly announced the results of the U-211 submarine and won a cheer at the scene.
Then he smiled and said, "Wait for my heroes to triumph, I will personally award them the Iron Cross ..." After intentional modification, Akado did not publish the specific submarine number and crew list, lest this submarine subsequently Being sunk makes it impossible to round the field. The British navy has even found a replacement, and can take the credit for this extraordinary world at any time.
"In London! Some people think that Germany cannot beat the British Navy! In Paris! Some people think that Germany cannot beat the French Army! They think we Germans will not fight at all! We will not win this war! The world is watching us Jokes! I know! "Akado preached loudly into the microphone:" Let them sneer at! "
He excitedly issued his manifesto to countless people: "Let them go to the steel masters under Lundstadt! Let them talk to our invincible pilots in the sky! Let them tell us The submarine officers and soldiers under the deep sea say go! Let them say go to the paratrooper warriors who go deep into the enemy's back for the blood-stained territory of Germany! Let them lick our winning boots! "
In the hundreds of millions of voices "Long live the head of state, Akado? Rudolph", Akado concluded his speech: "God bless Germany! No matter what happens in the future, please join me in witnessing my oath today-Germany ... ... will win! "
However, it seems that the u-211 submarine far below the surface of the Atlantic can't hear the praise of the heads of state, because they are now shutting down all the equipment, and they are terrified by the rumble of the destroyer overhead passing over the sea.
