My Third Empire

Biquge www.wuxiaspot.com, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!

While Prien ’s u-type submarine quickly sank into the sea, just ten kilometers away, a huge British battleship was quickly rushing in the other direction under the protection of several cruisers and destroyers The sharp bow was lifted high by the waves, and the huge artillery pointed majesticly at the position directly ahead.

The entire fleet is not in a state of combat readiness, but the destroyers on the periphery are like enemy. After all, German submarines often appear in this sea area. They must fight for twelve points to prevent possible torpedo attacks. In addition to making the German navy a powerful presence in the world, those anti-sky records also woke the British navy completely.

The layout of this battleship is very weird. Three huge turrets are arranged in front of the battleship. As one of the Nelson-class battleships, the battleship Rodney has just been transferred back to Canadian waters and ordered to join To the local fleet, prepare drivers to fight the German navy again.

The British finally took hold of their breath in Iceland. In fact, the Royal Navy still has the advantage of a large number of battleships, and the absolute advantage of the tonnage and number of battleships. With these advantages, the King of England and his staff felt that it was not impossible to regain the maritime power. Britain definitely had the power to fight it.

The surface of the North Atlantic Ocean always seems to be gray. The tones here are mixed with some dark, making people feel uncomfortable when they see everything in front of them. The British who once conquered this area, as well as the Germans who are now conquering it, regard it as an exciting paradise, and everyone who sleeps here seems to have a cold soul with a grudge. Every scenery blended into here makes everything here more gloomy.

The roar of the engine is definitely a very effective method of hypnosis in the cabin of an old aircraft with poor sound insulation. At least when performing a patrol mission, the following is the choppy, endless sea, which has been facing after taking off from the airport In this environment, anyone will be tortured and drowsy.

Although the aircraft is turbulent due to the airflow, although the cold outside will still pass into the interior of the aircraft, so that the temperature in the cockpit is very low, but this does not affect the sleep brought to people by boredom *.

This b-17 long-range patrol and reconnaissance aircraft imported from the United States will definitely be able to sell at a very good price if it is purchased in a country that respects the original import plus a time that respects the original import. However, this aircraft is obviously not valuable, it is only a small exchange of materials in the Anglo-American technical cooperation agreement.

Moreover, this aircraft is actually not a beautiful original imported product, its sound insulation layer has been cut corners to the point of being outrageous, the seat materials are also very simple, and even its self-defense weapons are only simplified Of the four 30mm cannons, the pilot who drove the aircraft rated it only one very ironic phrase: "Granny's broken bicycle".

Some British pilots used to be scared by huge skin seams when they climbed into this plane, and some people were scratched by the rolled iron sheet in the narrow cabin passage-and the Americans ’own b- In comparison, the workmanship of this foreign aid model simplifies more than one process, and many edges are not passivated.

But this kind of plane can fly, and the number is sufficient. More importantly, the United States only provides such disgusting models, love it or not. Therefore, the British coast patrol squadron stationed in Iceland still received 40 such aircraft with no temper, and used it to conduct combat patrols on the near end of the Icelandic route.

This type of aircraft can carry some small bombs inside the bomb bay, and the 30mm cannon on the belly can shoot the sea on its own. As long as the German submarine on the water is found, the aircraft can attack.

It is a pity that, for some reason, there are fewer and fewer opportunities to discover German submarines floating on the water, but the merchant ships have been sunk more. With the roar of His Majesty the King of England, the frequency of coast patrols has become more dense, and more aircraft have been dispatched.

Compared to the Germans investing in the vast land and building their own industrial facilities, it is difficult for the British to build their own base in Iceland, which is more impoverished and lacks resources. The most basic, even bricks and planks, are mostly transported from the distant United States-if Germany is missing everything, then the British in Iceland have nothing.

From basic construction materials, to the supply of hundreds of millions of rounds of ammunition, various aircraft parts produced in Canada, and the large machinery for leveling the land to build airports and other facilities, the British relied on the help of Americans and finally came to Iceland He stood firm on his heels.

As a result, less than one-third of the entire counter-offensive plan needed to build the British base in Iceland is now in a dilemma due to the German submarine attack.

On the one hand, if you want to expand the scale of the Icelandic garrison, build more airports and docks, and increase the strategic significance of Iceland, then you must invest more materials and consume more food, ammunition, and oil, which is necessary. Increase the burden on the entire US-Iceland route.

On the other hand, the German submarine threat is becoming more and more serious, and it is becoming more and more uncontrollable. The new u-type submarine entered the war, making the British exile government eager to expand Iceland angry. The United States also worried that once the Icelandic route was strangled by the Germans After the paralysis, the investment in Iceland will eventually collapse because of its size.

Now, in order to avoid this embarrassing situation, the construction of the entire Iceland has now fallen into a weird pause, half of the barracks are empty, and no damaged aircraft at the airport are interested. Only a few airports close to the direction of Europe and radar stations are still busy, and only a limited number of jet fighter squadrons have enough fuel to maintain training and patrol.

Just as Prien missed a British battleship, this British patrol aircraft also missed Prien. The observer at the foot of the sleepy pilot mechanically swept the sea with a telescope and found nothing unusual. At this time, Prien had already submerged with his submarine to the bottom of the North Atlantic Ocean at a depth of 45 meters.

But soon their drowsiness was dissipated by the burning debris on the sea. The captain piloted the aircraft and hovered in high altitude. The observer observed the burning sea with a telescope, and finally confirmed that it was a ship that had just been sunk Transport ship.

So the captain grabbed his walkie-talkie and started calling the duty officer of the ground command center: "I ’m patrol aircraft 4, check the transport ship ’s list, and near the coordinates of 537,449, we found the wreck of a ship, Request confirmation. "

"Here is the ground tower. We are confirming. Please check the nearby waters carefully and prepare to attack the German submarine!" In the headset, the officer on duty of the ground tower immediately gave the order. After a few more minutes, it was clear that the tower had found the information that it wanted to know: "Patrol aircraft 4, we have confirmed that a risky tanker should be nearby, please confirm whether it is still there! Please confirm Is it still on the sea. "

The captain smiled bitterly and then immediately replied: "I think it was this ship that was sunk. The tower."

"..." After receiving the bad news, there was a brief silence on the side of the tower, followed by a routine conversation. In short, another British supply ship was sunk, and there was no worse news than this. .

But the ground tower seemed to think of something again, so that Patrol No. 4 should not cut off the communication: "Patrol No. 4, wait a minute, there should be a squadron, coming from the colony, which originally did n’t need the patrol plane to follow the escort. However, there are German submarine activities near you. You'd better go there to help. The location is about 17 kilometers away from your west. "

"Okay! Patrol aircraft No. 4 understands." The captain flew back to the suspicious sea again. After no target was found, he turned and flew to the direction of the mission.

"Here is Patrol No.4, no enemy situation is found! After changing the route, we continue to fly westward, and it's done!" Retracted his gaze to the sea, and after a little communication, the captain folded his walkie-talkie listlessly, and then hesitated. Drove his own plane and left the sea.

At this moment, a German submarine is cruising slowly in the deep sea below the plane. From time to time, schools of fish pass by it. Because of noise, these fish keep a considerable distance. , Never close to this big guy whose volume is very dangerous for them.

Standing at the commanding position of the captain, Prion could only use the faint lights from the sonar and other equipment to see his entire command room. But for a veteran who has been commanding submarine operations for many years, this environment is his most reassuring environment. He held the handle to prevent falls and began to command: "The right is full of rudder, heading towards the east, we will meet those who rush The new submarine coming, give this group of British people a good look at what is called real submarine warfare! "

The fish beside the submarine suddenly seemed frightened, and made a dodge action as fast as lightning. The propeller of the u-47 submarine turned a little faster, and the forward speed of the entire submarine also became obvious. The changes have accelerated a lot.

At the tail of the submarine u-47, the rudder swung to the right, and the entire submarine changed direction in the water. With the fastest speed of an ordinary old submarine, it easily drove towards the darkness in the distance and drove past.
