Chapter 395: Baltic Sea

Biquge EbookFREE.me, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
Watchman Cove looked at the calm sea in a good mood, his face very proud. As a member of the German navy fleet, he felt very proud, because what his fathers failed to do, and now his Imperial Navy has done it.
Sinking seven battleships, this record has always been the dream of the German high seas fleet. The original sinking of a British battleship can boast of a few years. Gone are gone. Now almost everyone is thinking about sinking one. A British battleship seems to be a very simple matter to sink the British battleship.
His aircraft carrier has not been officially named by the Navy. The internal number is called Warship No. 5. Not far from the sea is No. 6. These are the two newest aircraft carriers launched by the Navy, although the hull has not changed, but This warship is expected to be equipped with a more advanced radar and command system. Ship No. 6, which was launched three days later, even installed an experimental system of night takeoff and landing fighters.
I heard that this system is still a new gadget "invented" by the head of state. Using the principle of blocking the light, the pilot can safely take off and land the aircraft without seeing the flight deck. Although the problem of taking off and landing aircraft seems to be solved, the problem of naval aircraft being inoperable at night still exists. German engineers and researchers are trying their best to install the radar system into the aircraft, but the experiment is still in progress.
Because of the rush to launch, neither of the two aircraft carriers had radars installed, and most of the internal watertight cabins were not closed. The sailor ’s lounge was not even renovated, but according to the German Navy ’s plan, the radar equipment of aircraft carriers 5 and 6 also had Later improvement work will be completed in Wilhelmshaven.
This is also a helpless move, because the reserve steel of the Kiel Military Port is almost used, because the sub-construction of the 7th and 8th ships of the aircraft carrier has been started at the Port of Kiel, and there was a problem with the steel turnover for a time. The Navy ’s General Staff After consultation, it was discovered that there was still some surplus in Wilhelmshaven, so he drafted an airworthiness plan and drove the unfinished aircraft carriers 5 and 6 to the Wilhelmshaven area to continue construction-anyway, the warship will definitely sail to Wilhelmshaven. Does it save the trouble of transporting steel?
The two aircraft carriers will depart from the Baltic Sea ’s Kiel military port, and will be escorted by four destroyers, passing through Denmark, to the German navy ’s William naval port, where they will meet with the long-awaited fleet to form the German Navy ’s 1st squadron.
There are two cruisers seized from the UK, four German air defense cruisers, and four air defense destroyers-plus the four destroyers escorted all the way, which form a German navy standard double carrier fleet.
The German high level of this squadron is very important. The battle plan prepared by Redel relies on this squadron to go north to cut off the transportation line near Iceland; and the German navy high seas fleet transferred to the Brest naval port goes south and threatens the British southern route; Denny The submarine force of Ic concentrated on strangling the western waters of England. Complete the blockade of the British mainland at sea in one fell swoop.
Ryder's idea was that the high seas fleet with high combat experience would look for planes in Brest to annihilate the Royal Navy Fleet rushing to the British mainland, and the submarine force and the newly-served aircraft carrier sub-fleet would cut off the British supply line, and the two forces would defeat Britain.
The two aircraft carriers sailed one after the other on the Baltic Sea. While touching the long tube telescope hanging on his chest, Cove dreamed about his warship galloping on the North Atlantic Ocean and sinking the British warship.
Suddenly, I heard the alarm bell in the horn behind him. He was almost scared to fall from the standing mast lookout position. He grabbed the railing next to it to stabilize his body.
He looked at the destroyer not far away, only to see that the destroyer was turning away, and was using lights to signal complex signals. After studying the semaphore for half a year and the light signal, Cove naturally saw the meaning of the set of signals. He was scared out of his body, he quickly untied the seat belt attached to his body, and began to quickly follow the armrest on the mast. Crawl down.
And as he crawled down in fright, the two open waves were approaching the side of the No. 5 aircraft carrier at speed, on the quiet surface of the Baltic Sea, like two thin white lines.
On the bridge, Colonel Graff, who was responsible for receiving the No. 5 battleship, stared palely at the torpedo approaching not far away, urging the helmsman beside him again and again: "Fast! Turn at the fastest speed! Hurry! faster!"
"Colonel, this is the fastest turning speed ... The internal structure of this ship has not yet been completed, the speed can only be increased to 20 knots, and the steering can not be too violent, otherwise it will cause the structure to break." Engineer frowned and explained, "There is danger."
"Now it's over!" Colonel Graff roared loudly like a cat with a stomped tail: "Aren't we all over when hit by a torpedo? Isn't it completely over? Give me speed! Turn!"
Just as he roared, there was a sudden tremor under his feet. At the moment Colonel Graf fell, the content reflected in his mind was "It's over, Aircraft No. 5 is completely over this time!"
The loud noise of the explosion came over, and the entire aircraft carrier seemed to be lifted high above the water, and then fell into the sea with a huge force. The distorted sound of steel creaked, and the entire command bridge was disturbed by violent shaking.
"Damage! Hurry up!" Colonel Graff was still lying on the ground without getting up. His voice was already shouting: "Report the loss! Control the water intake area immediately! Pumping machine! Prepare the pumping machine ..."
He hadn't finished his words yet, but another violent shaking flicked him all up from the floor. His arm hit the chart table where he hadn't installed a table, leaving a huge wound.
"Colonel! Are you okay? Colonel Graff?" The shipbuilding engineer at Kiel Junction was splattered with blood and scared out of his body. After a while there, he trembled and asked.
"Damage! Set it up! It doesn't matter if I'm dead! This ship can't sink!" Colonel Graff screamed as he struggled to sit up: "Quick! Hurry up and repair the warship! Hurry!"
"It's too late, Colonel! The internal compartment of this ship was not closed completely. Once the water intake began to spread, it could not be stopped! We were hit twice, and it was even more irreparable." The engineer said Cried: "This time it's really finished. God!"
"What about the damage? What about the damage? Even if I use the corpse to block me, I have to block the two holes!" Colonel Graff roared.
"Most of the damage managers got on board at Wilhelmshaven ..." The adjutant sighed and reminded the chief who had been scared to forget this: "There are only more than 20 damage managers on board now, and it is estimated that no emergency repairs can be done. Something like that. "
Colonel Graf, who had just come back, no matter how his arm was still bleeding, pushed away the adjutant who wanted to help him up, and sat silent on the ground. Although it didn't take long, it was obvious that the whole warship was leaning, and some small things that were not fixed and were shocked to the ground began to roll, making a series of grunting noises.
"The battleship No. 6 is calling. It and three destroyers are changing course to avoid the possible second wave of torpedo attacks. Another destroyer is tracking enemy submarines." A telegrapher reported loudly.
"Our ship is rolling, the angle has reached 25 degrees." An officer responsible for damage control palely supported the wall and stood on the side of Graf's side report: "The water intake is uncontrollable and the rescue has failed ... Sir, ordered Abandon the ship. "
"Put down the lifeboat! Abandon the ship!" After Graf's order, it seemed that he had lost all his strength and sat there paralyzed: "You all leave, it's enough for me to bear the responsibility alone."
"Sir!" Several officers were ready to persuade.
"Don't persuade me! This is the rule!" Graff stopped everyone from coming forward with a fairly good arm, and then continued: "After you go back, you should sum up your lessons and don't make this mistake again! The warship must do well Ready to move again! Also, tell Marshal Redell that Graf is sorry for his cultivation. "
After saying this, Graf stretched out the intact arm: "Give me a pistol, I do n’t want to see my battleship sink."
When everyone walked out of the bridge command room, there was a crisp gunshot inside. Everyone froze for a while on the sloping stairs, and then stopped talking and walked to Class A sullenly.
About half of the people boarded the lifeboat, a quarter of them were missing or died, and the other quarter were soaked in the sea for half an hour before being rescued by the destroyer. At 12:05 noon, the fifth aircraft carrier of the German Navy was sunk in the Baltic Sea by a submarine of the Royal Navy before being named.
...
Germany, Berlin, the residence of the head of state.
Akado is discussing with Augustus how to deal with the British problem. The meeting between the two will just come to an end. Akado has just decided a three-pronged battle plan. Sindra panicly took the message and rushed Entered the meeting room.
"My head, the news just came, the Navy's No. 5 aircraft carrier was sunk in the Baltic Sea by a British submarine." Sindra reported the main situation with a trembling tone as soon as he entered the door. When she heard that an aircraft carrier was sunk, she was so scared that she couldn't even speak. She calmed down at the door for a few minutes before she came in and said such a complete and coherent statement.
"What?" Akado was also taken aback, throwing away the pen that kept turning in his hand. Augustus also raised his eyelids, but said nothing, but sighed.
