Chapter 397

"How many months?" The Admiral bowed his head and asked in a low voice, "Queen Elizabeth is going north, and the counterattack has been refitted and re launched. I think as long as there is no problem, we can still do it in a few months?"

"You still don't understand." Churchill sighed and said, "it's not easy to survive these months... What we have to resist is not the doomed landing of the English Channel Germans, but the maintenance of the vital supply line in the North Atlantic."

"The information sent by the intelligence department corrected some of our wrong data before the war, such as the number of submarines in the German Navy." The Navy minister thought for a moment and said, "it is roughly estimated that Germany should have at least 200 submarines now, and the number of submarines on the North Atlantic route should be about 60."

"It's these 60 submarines, just like the fishbone stuck in my throat when I eat, which makes me feel painful and nauseous Churchill said helplessly: "you know what? Every day we have to sink dozens of transport ships, civilian ships, fishing boats... If you can't ensure the safety of the route, then these months are enough time for the complete collapse of Britain. "

"I've tried my best. These days, we have sunk two German submarines. Some people suggest that high-power searchlights should be installed on airplanes to look for German submarines. Some people suggest that cannons should be installed on merchant ships to trick German submarines... We're all trying." Replied the admiral, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Churchill patted the Admiral on the shoulder and said, "I know you're trying. We are also working hard. We are developing new computing equipment, hoping to crack the German military code. In addition, we are studying radar systems, and new fighter planes are also in the process of intensive design... Our foundation is not inferior to that of the German. I can do what akkado can do, just like Churchill! "

The British prime minister now mentions the German head of state, akkado? Rudolph gritted his teeth. Since he took over the present British remnant, he has been suppressed everywhere by his opponent in Berlin, which makes him very unhappy. But when he was biting his teeth to scold akado, the Admiral around him interrupted him excitedly.

I saw this one's own confidant pointing to the sea and shouting happily: "look! Look! The Odin is back

Far away on the sea, there is a submarine slowly entering the port, next to the British destroyer in charge of piloting. There is a cheering sound on the wharf, which is the British sailors who come to watch and the British journalists who finally wait for the good news.

The big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and Churchill's face also changed into a smile. In the past month, God played with him too many times, so he can't believe the victory he has won until the last moment.

"This time it should be safe!" Churchill looked out at the sea and sighed.

When the submarine landed and got on the suspension ladder, one by one, the submariners jumped onto the wharf. The applause rang out for a long time. The last time the treatment of the German submarine u47 was changed to that of the British Odin, another port, another wharf, and it was staged again.

"Mr. captain! Would you like to introduce every detail of your voyage A female reporter crowded in front of the crowd, with a small book ready to record.

"How do you feel about the largest and latest aircraft carrier of the German Navy you sank?" A reporter rushed out of the crowd and asked.

"Is the aircraft carrier really invincible? Mr. captain, do you think submarines can be the enemy of German submarines An American journalist also raised his own question.

The dock was bustling, and Churchill presented the captain of the Odin with an exquisite Medal of honor under the constant flashing of the magnesium lamp.

Then Churchill stopped all the reporters and said with a smile, "everybody, you must have seen that our heroes are exhausted now! What they need is rest. Later, the times will interview the heroes. The interview records will not disappoint you! "

Before he had finished speaking, the shrill air defense alarm of the port howled. All reporters are frantic to pack up the camera ready to run, the whole scene on the dock immediately became chaotic.

Churchill suddenly had an impulse to curse his mother. He wanted to know why Germany's counter attack was always just right and always made him want to cry. When he was helped to the entrance of the air raid shelter, he looked up at the sky and saw the terrible picture that made him silent for a long time.

130 butcher strategic bombers and 90 do-217 medium-sized bombers, escorted by 110 fw-190d fighters, flew like locusts in the distant sky. Obviously, these terrible bombers did not target the port, so the air defense alarm did not continue to sound.

Looking at the direction, this huge group of bombers flew to London to carry out the bombing mission. Churchill stood there helplessly, as if he had something to say, and as if he could not say a word. Beside him, an American reporter with courage to stick out his head saw the huge formation of planes in the sky, and raised his camera.

"Bang!" The flash of the magnesium lamp made Churchill jump. The original wonderful music of the military band has long disappeared, and the original lively interview and award ceremony on the wharf has been replaced by a mess - a good victory interview seems to have changed its flavor, and now only the engine buzzing from the distant sky suppresses everyone's heart. The interview and publicity activities didn't go on, because everyone knows that at this moment, London is already in flames. Several British journalists rushed back to London to witness the birth of another news. Many other journalists were scared out of their wits by the German bombers flying over their heads, and they didn't want to continue their coverage“ Back to London Churchill, with a gloomy face, said to his secretaries and entourage officials, "this time we seem to be busy again." Since the prime minister is going to leave, a group of reporters are leaving, leaving behind the captain of the Odin. It seems that he has experienced a ups and downs without a beginning. The next day, the front page headline of the London Times was "heinous crime - the bloody washing of London by German war maniacs". The news of Churchill's high hopes of sinking the German aircraft carrier is only a rough report on the back of the second edition. The report of the new york times almost made Churchill vomit blood, because the front page headline of the newspaper was a picture, which was taken looking up at the sky, with the sky full of German bombers. The title was very interesting: "how long can the British last?".
