Chapter 440

When akkado, the head of the Empire, split up his subsidiary and sold it as the largest shareholder of the white orchid group, the German capitalists were completely boiling. Everyone knows how much money Bai Lanhua group makes and what these subsidiaries that provide a lot of weapons and equipment for the German team every day will bring to them.

Although the operation and profits of these companies must be arranged and controlled by the government within 10 years, as long as they make money, who cares about these details? As long as the government can ensure that these factories will still make as much money as they do today in the next 10 years, everyone's investment will have been made back.

Soon, 40% of the shares of the subsidiary Benz automobile manufacturing group were sold, 45% of the shares of the subsidiary BMW engine manufacturing group were sold, 25% of the shares of Rhine heavy metal company were sold, and 70% of the shares of Munich arms industry group were sold... These dazzling measures led to a large-scale restructuring of the whole German capital sector.

Surprisingly, there is Krupp, the second largest industrial production entity, following the action of bailanhua group; As well as the German chemical enterprise leader old * this company. These two huge production groups sell their shares at the same time, and package and sell some subsidiaries and enterprises that are still able to make a lot of money. These giant enterprises, which sell their subsidiaries, all turn their investment to the newly occupied France and Belgium, where they merge local small and medium-sized enterprises and begin to integrate the labor force in the occupied areas.

Far from collapsing, Germany's economy has ushered in another round of development in a more efficient way. Various military enterprises were effectively integrated, thousands of cars, tanks and fighters were sent to the front line, and the German production capacity more than doubled compared with the same period in February 1937.

"Captain! A telegram from Group No. 11. At 4 p.m., the transport fleet No. H31 passed through their ambush area and was coming towards us. According to the speed, it is expected to enter our attack area in the evening. " A telegraph operator handed an encrypted message to the submarine commander waiting by.

"Telegraph u-159 and U-100! Tell them to catch the big fish and prepare for the siege attack at night! Attack time is 7:15! " The commander took the message, looked at it carefully, and then nodded. After that, he left the small telegraph room on the submarine. With the message, he walked step by step in the damp and dark submarine corridor until he came to the central command room not far away.

His adjutant was using a periscope to observe the movement on the sea. Seeing the captain coming, he pushed the periscope up to the ceiling, stood at attention and said, "we haven't found any enemy information yet. The submarine is cruising at three knots with stable voltage."

"Hard work! Adjust course, starboard 11 degrees. " The captain ordered loudly: "in the evening, prepare to attack the transport fleet marked H31, check the depth of torpedo and fuse! Don't make mistakes

"I understand!" The adjutant excitedly stood at attention, and then began to give one order after another: "check the torpedo launcher! Determine torpedo depth! Level two combat alert

"Attack time is 7:15." The captain pulled down the central periscope and put his eyes on it. From the visual mirror, you can see the rough sea, empty but refreshing.

"Up! Let's get on the water and breathe! Dive in 20 minutes The captain said with a smile, "go! Let's go up and have a cigarette. "

"Good!" The adjutant nodded with a smile and then cried out, "everyone, watch your step! The submarine is going up

With the shaking, this shark like German U-shaped submarine came out of the water bit by bit and began to shake with the waves on the sea. At this time, all the submariners felt that they had returned to the world, not the silent hell.

The oil extraction machine began to work happily again, making a noisy rhythmic sound. The submarine's power becomes stronger and its speed becomes faster. The battery began to charge, to make the most adequate preparation for the next underwater voyage, followed by the whole submarine lights up, in order to save power caused by the dim also disappeared in an instant, everyone's mood followed up.

The soldiers unscrewed the reinforced hatch cover, and the sea water poured down from above, soaking everyone's clothes with a crash. However, no one was angry about this. On the contrary, they gave the most ardent cheers. As the United States and Britain invested more and more troops in anti submarine, although the German submarines were still haunted, they were rarely sunk, But it's true that the luxury of upward ventilation is getting less and less.

Climbing up the steel deck of the submarine along the iron ladder, the soldiers began to smoke on the anti-aircraft guns and guardrails. Many people were doing all kinds of stretching exercises. On the command tower, the captain, adjutants and lookouts crowded together to enjoy the sea breeze and fresh air. This moment is so pleasant and beautiful, it seems that people can forget that they are in the war, it seems that people can forget that they are in a submarine full of torpedoes.

The most favorite thing for submarine officers and soldiers is luxury perfume from France, because it doesn't take a shower for almost two months, and it lives in narrow spaces full of diesel and sweat and feet odor. Anyone who likes to love something full of petals is love.

In the long to full two months of sea life, these soldiers are basically accompanied by cold submarines. They are familiar with every corner of the submarine, measure the length of the submarine with their feet, give each valve a nice name, and stick to the self closing lifestyle like a prisoner. But they have their own way of excitement to keep life at sea boring. After nightfall, the submarines began to dive slowly, and a huge British transport fleet appeared on the horizon on time. Once again, the wolves are focused on their prey, and a new round of hunting begins“ Final inspection before torpedo launch“ Check it out! "“ Ready for launch“ Ready“ Fan spread, bow six torpedoes salvo! Three! Two! One! Launch Cried the captain“ Bang The first torpedo went into the water, followed by the second, the third, and finally the sixth. Six torpedoes formed a good-looking fan in the water. They swam towards their goal and pulled up a shallow line drawn by white waves behind them. On the other side of the submarine, a submarine with U-100 number on the command tower launched six torpedoes from its bow at the same time. Also formed a good-looking fan, also toward the direction of the poor British transport fleet not far away. On the other hand, of course, the u-159 is doing the same thing“ Boom The first explosion, a most peripheral British destroyer was torpedoed, and immediately burst into flames. Shouts and terrible explosions continued for hundreds of meters, and more British sailors began to search the water, hoping to help their ships escape the bad luck. But obviously, this kind of night time, the line of sight is not very good. Therefore, finding the enemy to attack the torpedo seems to be a thankless situation. Then came the second explosion. A warship on the periphery was hit and stopped on the sea in the light of fire. The first destroyer to be hit in the distance had begun to sink. However, the warship that had just been hit was obviously not so lucky. It broke into two pieces and began to sink rapidly. Without sending a telegram, it sank to the bottom of the sea with almost all the crew. Soon, the third explosion, the fourth explosion followed in the British transport fleet, and the whole fleet was in a mess. The massacre continued in the night, and another round of volley of German submarines sounded the death knell for the whole fleet. At dawn the next day, only 21 of the 40 carrier fleet remained intact. Half of the material sank to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. The fleet commander stood in the command bridge of the flagship without tears, silent. It's not that he's ruthless, but that he's already numb to this kind of submarine attack at night. Since the middle of February, the British transport fleet has basically fallen into an awkward situation that can not be supplemented. Even the ships rented from the United States at a high price can not fill the huge tonnage of German submarines. This is his second voyage, and he seems to have become the most experienced navigation expert in the whole fleet. Originally, the transportation line was like a trickle of water, just like a tap gradually tightened by people, which has changed from a steady stream to a miserable situation like dripping water. Because the huge losses could not be filled, and the number of warships escorted was becoming rarer and rarer day by day, the British Navy seemed to begin to focus on escorting the routes from Britain to Canada, allowing the German forces to wantonly attack the transportation routes from the United States to Britain. Everyone knows that Britain is almost finished, but as an Englishman, every time I think of this tragic ending, I can't help but feel sad. He was almost the first group of British sailors to know that the German naval blockade had been basically completed, because every time from the eyes of those disappointed people waiting at the port, they could see that the supplies and food they brought back were too little“ This damn war! These damn Krauts Hammering the table in front of him, the British commander yelled: "what kind of hero is it to stare at the transport line like this?" No one answered him, because in the last World War, Britain blocked the fragile ports and sea transportation of the German army, and made the bloody Germany surrender? It seems that there is nothing wrong with the blockade of Britain.
