What was transported?
Lockhet, brought a glass of whiskey, drank it, and looked at the eyes around him. Finally, he couldn't control his mouth.
"Of course we are transporting valuable things. I tell you this is a secret. It is the arms we transported to Britain!"
Ammunition destined for Britain? Immediately, Field understood: "Your captain is really courageous! Don't you know? Now except for the UK's own transport company, other companies dare not accept British business at all. Germans have hundreds of lines. The submarine is waiting in the Atlantic Ocean! As long as it is transporting British goods, it will be bad luck!"
Field knew very well that just last month, a merchant ship sank in the western waters of Britain. Later analysis revealed that the merchant ship was a British ship carrying arms and was destroyed by the Germans.
"The Germans are so hateful that they even attacked civilian ships!"
"That's right, the Germans dare to attack our American ships!" In an instant, the bar became lively.
The Germans flew merchant ships flying the British flag, and that’s fine. After all, Britain and Germany are at war, but now the United States is still neutral. In this case, even its own ships transported arms to Britain. Germans should not sink!
This is against international conventions, and it seriously hurts the feelings of the American people. In their eyes, their own country is powerful, and now they have been subjected to such barbaric treatment!
"Don't talk nonsense. I heard that the German agents are very powerful. If the news leaks out, maybe everyone here will be killed!" At this moment, another voice appeared.
"Cruise, you coward! This is our land in America, who dares to run wild on our land?" Field shouted.
"Yeah, they killed all of us here? How do the Americans kill them? They still dare to use bombers to bomb us?" York was also speechless after drinking too much.
Lockhet didn't speak, he poured the second glass of whiskey into his mouth.
"Forget it, I won't tell you any more, I have to go back." Lockhet was obviously worried, and he seemed to be afraid of something.
As a result, everyone laughed.
As sailors, they were all quite strong men with great courage. Now Lockhet, who has become a coward, originally sympathized with Lockhet's experience, but now they all look down on him.
What are you afraid of! In this bar, almost all sailors, at least five or six, all have experience of shipwreck, don't you continue to be sailors?
Lockhet walked out slowly. At this time, there was a roar in the sky.
Lifting his head, Lockhet's eyes were actually a little tranced. He looked at the plane in the sky, with four engines, and it was flying from the east. In this era, there are not many passenger planes with four engines, but the Atlantic Airliner No. 1 is one of the best, taking over the main routes from the American continent to Europe.
Douglas rushed to catch up. On the basis of Douglas's DC-3, the DC-4 was transformed, and it became a huge monster with four engines. It wanted to compete with the Atlantic One.
Unfortunately, there are still many problems to be solved for this airliner. Its single engine has only 1,450 horsepower, and the difference between the 1,800 horsepower of the Atlantic airliner is too big. At the same time, its cockpit is not sealed!
Therefore, other airlines can only watch the Seuss company and the German Junker company occupy this vast market together. Only the Atlantic One passenger aircraft is competent on the route from America to Europe.
In New York, a city on the east coast of the United States, there are flights every day, so now looking up and seeing a passenger plane, there is nothing unusual.
However, Lockhet was still looking up at the sky, and he always felt something was wrong.
The painting of that airliner is not from Hughes? Especially, why is there a cross sign on the side of the fuselage, or it is black?
Wait, isn't that the German bomber?
Thinking of this, he suddenly burst into a cold sweat. The two glasses of wine he had just drunk woke up. At the same time, he saw an even more terrifying sight. Under the bomber, something appeared and the other party threw a bomb!
Damn it!
"Run, the German bomber, the bomb is here!" Lockhet shouted loudly. At this time, he moved his feet and wanted to leave here.
Since the end of the Civil War, the United States has always been fairly safe. Even the last world war was only fought overseas. For Americans, their geographic location determines their psychological advantage.
And now, there are actually German bombers coming and bombing! This makes it difficult for many people to accept, or in other words, without any defense.
The people in the bar did not listen to Lockhet's words, but shouted loudly: "Lockhet, are you drinking too much?"
Then, the bomb fell, and the unique scary sound ~EbookFREE.me~ finally came. At this time, everyone became anxious. They wanted to run out, but unfortunately, they have not yet run out. The bomb has already fallen!
"boom!"
"boom!"
Five or six bombs fell from the sky and fell near the bar. The people in the bar were surprised to find that they were still intact. When they got up from the ground and rushed outside, they found Lockheed, lying down. In a pool of blood.
A bomb exploded not far from his side, shrapnel cut open his stomach, and his blood gurgled outwards. He fell to the ground, trying to push the intestines back inside. His hands, It's all blood.
"Lockhet, Lockhet!" Field shouted loudly, and several people found a plank, carried Lockhet, and wanted to take him to a nearby hospital.
At this time, the bomber in the sky circled half a circle and dropped the bomb again. This time, its target was the most famous sculpture near the Hudson River mouth on Liberty Island in the harbor!
The Statue of Liberty, the full name is "Statue of Liberty National Monument", the official name is "Liberty Illuminates the World". It was built by France in 1876 to commemorate the centenary of the victory of the American War of Independence. It was built on October 28, 1886. Like completion.
The Lady Liberty is dressed in ancient Greek-style clothing and a radiant crown on her head. The seven pointed lights symbolize the seven continents. The right hand holds the torch symbolizing freedom, and the left hand holds the "Declaration of Independence"; under the feet are broken handcuffs, fetters and chains, symbolizing freedom from the constraints of tyranny.
This sculpture is a symbol of the United States. For many years, the United States has praised this sculpture. It is a symbol of the lofty ideals of the American people for democracy and freedom.
And now, that bomber dropped a bomb at this sculpture that the American people value most! 108
