"I am the commander of the British destroyer fleet. We are not here to ask for help. We are here to help you fight back against the Japanese." The middle-aged man in a British navy uniform wearing a German hat solemnly said.
"If you don't mind, we have 8 submarines outside the port, and the other one needs repairing." German officer smiled and said in fluent English: "Our great head of state hopes you can believe that even if the whole world abandons In Australia, the head of state and the German people are also standing with you. "
"God bless you! It's great that you are here." The Australian officer held the palm of the German general excitedly: "After they left, you are the first army to come back and help us fight the Japanese!"
These days, as long as it is a ship flying the American flag, it is only to transport people and supplies. These Americans must take away even the barges and fishing boats so as not to leave them to the upcoming Japanese. Sydney Harbour is like a pool of dead water. The locals feel that they have been completely abandoned. I did not expect that at this time, I could still wait for reinforcements from afar.
The Germans were not all smooth sailing in the Pacific Ocean. Several of them had adverse reactions due to unacceptable water and soil. A submarine was forced to return home midway because of a mechanical failure. The submarine in question carried the patient, unloaded all the ammunition that could be taken out, and even unloaded some parts for the rest of the submarine, which was all it could do.
Immediately after arriving in Australia, another submarine had a problem and had to be dragged by the destroyer to Australia to see if there was a chance to repair it. If it cannot be repaired, it can only be left in Australia as a spare part to provide other submarine repairs. No one thought that only two of the 10 submarines would be in trouble if they just traveled to Australia.
This distance is still too far for the German Navy, which rarely deploys oceans. Fortunately, they arrived in Australia, and here they were not disgusted, but received a good reception.
The Germans did not risk approaching the Australian port. They were still moored on the sea, and only one submarine that had failed sailed into Sydney to be repaired here. And according to the order, the submarine did not carry a cipher machine, and used the radio on the accompanying northern British destroyer to keep in touch with the fleet in the distance.
The Australians held a temporary meeting for this fleet, and there were soldiers and some patriotic politicians who remained. Many people have a hostile attitude towards the Germans, because after all the Germans killed an Australian division in North Africa. But this voice was immediately suppressed by the urgent need for support, especially the military representatives who were supported by the navy. They hope to unite all the forces that can be found to defend Australia.
The matter was quickly determined, and the Australian authorities remained neutral with regard to this fleet from Europe: they did not interfere with any non-destructive activities of this fleet in the port, nor did they take the initiative to provide strong official support. To put it simply, it's not my business to fight the Japanese, and I think you can't see the submarine when you are on the beach.
This attitude is a good interpretation of the mentality of Australia ’s current leaders. They are afraid that after the Americans return, they will liquidate their cooperation with the Germans, and hope that the Germans will stay to help them resist the fierce Japanese. In the end, they chose an attitude of not helping and not destroying. Although there are hidden concerns on both sides, it can also be said that it is a safe choice that leaves room in several aspects.
"If you need anything, you can contact me." The one who appeared in front of the German again was no longer a high-ranking official of the military, but a young Australian major. He was obviously a poor worm that was introduced as an agent. When the Japanese came or the Americans returned, he could only follow the Germans.
"I'm already with you. Any help I provide to you is ultimately my personal behavior. It has nothing to do with Australia." He sat on the sofa helplessly, apparently still not out of the shadow of his compatriot blatant betrayal : "My grandma is a German, so I have a quarter of German descent."
The German officer took out a French cigarette and handed it to the young man with a smile. He had many medals, including a submarine army service medal, an enviable Iron Cross and a medal for outstanding performance contribution: "My name is Gott? Lien is a colonel and commander of the German Navy ’s Pacific Submarine Squadron. You have n’t introduced yourself yet. "
Akado asked Dennitz to find a suitable person to serve as the commander of the entire German ocean-going submarine fleet. Dunnitz had been searching for a long time, but he couldn't find anyone to serve. As a result, Prien, who had just hunted back from the northern coast of the Soviet Union, applied for a holiday, and Dunnitz gave the German submarine battle the number one trump card. How hard is it to make the boss remember that he is definitely a good and bad thing, the good thing is that you will be promoted and raised after he remembers you, the bad thing is that you will be his best choice to deal with the problem .
So poor Prien had just become accustomed to the icy Arctic waters, and before he could catch his breath, he was dispatched to lead the fleet across the equator and enjoy the hot southern customs. But compared to the choppy waves in the North Atlantic and the cold depressions of the Arctic Ocean, Prien still likes the calm ocean comparable to the Baltic Sea.
"My name is Williams." The young officer was obviously infected by the experienced and energetic German officer Prien, who took the cigarette to his mouth and replied softly.
"William, can I call you that?" Prion stroked a match to help Williams light the cigarette, and then asked.
"When, of course." Williams, the young Australian officer, was obviously flattered and answered immediately.
Prian nodded, and then said all kinds of things he wanted: "Some lathes, and qualified raw materials. I need to make some simple parts as spare parts, of course, most of the spare parts we have ourselves. In addition. You also need to prepare food for our fleet, bread, vegetables, meat, fresh water, etc. "
"So anxious?" William asked casually.
"Everything has a beginning, child. We need to choose an island to build a base. After all, I know you are not very welcome to us, and then there are oil supplies and various supplements, house tents and even medicine ... we need a lot of things." Prien is not many years older than William in front of him, but after a long battle, he is already an old soldier who can no longer be old. The danger of his commanding combat experience may be more than the legend of the entire Australian Navy, and his record alone seems to be more than the sum of the entire Australian Navy. So when he called out the children, no one was surprised, because compared with a submarine commander who sank the battleship with a total tonnage of more than 100,000 tons, everyone seemed very young.
"I need you to prepare these things within 4 hours, because after 4 hours, I will lead some of my submarine troops in good condition to go north, and the driver looks for Japanese targets to attack." When Prian mentioned the battle, he looked at it. Become solemn. He took out a small notebook of his own and glanced at it again, "Yes, I also need the charts of the entire area around Australia. The most detailed military charts are, the more accurate the better."
He said while looking at William, and finally stopped his chatter, pointing at his empty hand and asked, "You don't record?"
"I can remember what you said." William replied a little proudly.
Prion frowned, and finally spoke his own words: "Find a book to record all important things, don't forget any small details. When you are busy, you will definitely forget some things, and these are What is forgotten can often win or lose. "
He is a typical German officer. He is meticulous in training and meticulous in combat, so he and his soldiers can escape from death one at a time in the cruelest naval battle, and he can live here and enjoy the beauty of the sun. Because of his personal experience, he made sure that everything needs to be confirmed repeatedly, which is definitely a good habit for himself.
He is convinced that in all things, do n’t steal and play tricks, you will be able to save yourself when you need it. As a German submarine commander, he knows that every detail will ultimately affect the battle. He tries his best to do his best, so he always completes the mission in key battles, and returns to the port with his men alive, accepting Cheers and worship of people.
"Okay, Colonel Prien." William has obeyed Prien's words. After all, he is still young and has little combat experience. And he knew clearly that he and the German official in front of him were already grasshoppers on the same rope, and they must work together to survive the brutal war.
"The action plan was delayed by 2 hours." Prien nodded and then turned back to explain to the adjutant behind him: "The preparation here is too late. Call some people to help prepare and help Major William. Get what we badly need, including oil and medicine and food. "
As Colonel Prien said, everything has a beginning. As soon as the Germans arrived in Australia, they began to prepare their own simple offensive base, preparing to launch their first attack on the arrogant Japanese navy.
For many battleships of the Japanese Navy, this is definitely unfortunate news, because there are hundreds of German submarine commanders, but there is only such a Prien, only such a Prien nicknamed "Battleship Killer."
