Chapter 1107

As the u-47 sailed through the icy waters of the North Atlantic, its course stretched forward and crossed the tracks of a huge transport fleet, And this huge transport fleet is exactly all kinds of maintenance supplies that the United States sent to Iceland.

In order to transport more supplies to the Icelandic authorities and ensure the absolute security of Iceland, this huge transport fleet even carried 3000 American soldiers to strengthen the British defense positions in Iceland.

Standing on the bridge of a transport ship, a head of the infantry regiment of the US Army turned pale. He was not used to the long-distance sea transportation, so he complained to the officers around him: "I really don't understand why we have to transport so many materials and soldiers to the place where the volcano is still smoking."

The waves in the Atlantic Ocean make all the seasick people feel uncomfortable. Most of these poor American soldiers have not experienced such a miserable sea journey, so everyone has vomiting and other discomfort symptoms.

"I don't know. According to the division headquarters, we are only the first group of soldiers sent to the island, and then the whole division will be transported to the island one after another to prevent the German army from landing across the sea... Cough!" His face was not very good-looking, and the long time shaking on the sea made him lose his appetite, and his words seemed powerless. They are the U.S. Army, not the U.S. Marines. If they insist on division, this kind of task should be performed by the U.S. Marines.

"Mr. President must have been fooled by those damned Brits." Pulling the vomit bag, the regiment leader began to feel that something was stirring in his stomach again. He retched twice before he continued to say, "otherwise, why do we have to help the British with weapons and supplies and send us to the place where we don't poop?"

"The spy service is convinced that the Germans are putting more and more experience into atomic weapons." A U.S. intelligence officer who went to Iceland with the ship happened to be on the ship. He didn't speak just now because he was also a poor guy who was not suitable for sailing. He had vomited everything in his stomach since yesterday, and he hasn't eaten anything yet.

He looked at the vomit bag in the leader's hand, and felt the urge to turn over the river in his stomach. So he held an iron handrail beside him and said with a faster speed: "the Germans may have begun to master more powerful super weapons, so we can't give them the Icelandic outpost airport. If they occupy Iceland, they may use bombers to attack New York or Washington. "

"Go to hell. Two days ago, when you were still discussing in Congress, you claimed that the Germans started mass production of battleships and aircraft carriers and attempted to attack New York and the east coast of the United States... Some even claimed that Germany had plans to land in the United States, but everyone knew that it was alarmist." The commander retched twice, and there was really nothing to vomit in his stomach, so he slowed down and refuted the American intelligence officer.

The U.S. intelligence service did provide a lot of information about the German army, but most of the information was speculative or without evidence. Therefore, although many military departments believe in Germany's scientific research progress in private, they can't prove it in detail.

For example, six months ago, the Americans found that many German universities were involved in the research on atomic weapons, but they were unable to continue the investigation. The Gestapo and the Ss have destroyed countless spy networks in the United States, leaving the United States without any decent progress in this regard.

However, the Americans still know that many of them have heavy water factories in Norway and in the mainland, and Imperial University of Berlin and several other universities are studying atomic weapons on a large scale. There is even a latest investigation report that the Germans have successfully used uranium enrichment centrifuges to purify some uranium ores from the Czech Republic.

However, there is not much evidence to prove the news, so it is not convincing in the US Congress. Although the United States and Roosevelt believed that the Germans were developing all kinds of super weapons, this belief could only stay at the level of belief.

What's more, because the intelligence agencies are involved in too many things, some things are mixed together and become false news beyond recognition. For example, Imperial University of Berlin purchased and used a large number of electronic tubes, which is recorded in the United States - but the United States included these things in the German atomic bomb program.

"Just because of an inexplicable intelligence, and then according to your conjecture, we sent 3000 soldiers to this place?" The more he said, the more he felt aggrieved: "you might as well send us to England. At least we can die a little bravely."

Now the Americans have regarded fighting with the German army as a disaster. They resist being sent to the far middle east. They even prefer to go through Australia and then bypass the Japanese naval area to go directly to India, rather than take the South Atlantic route where the German Navy submarines roam everywhere.

And the German sharks that hunt underwater in the North Atlantic are haunting nightmares of American and British captains. These unscrupulous submarines will attack any enemy ships that enter their attack area. Sometimes they even sink passenger ships because of carelessness, and then send a clear code telegram to the Americans to provide the coordinates of the sunk civilian ships.

"Come on, Congress just rejected the proposal to send 100000 troops to the Soviet Union to help fight on the eastern front. It's not easy to fight directly with the Germans now. " After a wry smile, the intelligence officer said, "now there are many factions in the Soviet Union. Those people don't have the backbone of Stalin. They are waiting for Stalin's death to sign a peace treaty with Germany."“ The situation in the Soviet Union is already so dangerous? " Obviously, the commander heard the news for the first time, frowned and asked, "we have supported so many weapons and materials, and they have not been able to hold the Germans down?"“ Isn't it? In fact, there's nothing to tell you. Almost everyone knows such secrets. " The intelligence officer may have been sent to places like Iceland, but he was also resentful and gave up on himself. He directly gave the confidential documents to the evening news, saying: "I heard that the things sent to the Soviet Union are being compressed, and I'm afraid they will be cheaper in the end." Three people are still talking about all kinds of situations. Suddenly, a warning came from the outside of the fleet. The whole fleet was busy, all the ships began to accelerate slowly, and some of the anti-aircraft gun positions had been filled with sailors in life jackets“ Alert! Alert! A destroyer has found a German submarine! Alert A sailor came running quickly, yelled at several American officials, and then quickly ran past them. The red alarm in the cabin is flashing, and the American soldiers on the hammock all look at the busy sailors with panic“ Boom! Boom The sound of Destroyer guns roaring came from the far sea. Who knows what kind of fatal damage they can do to the German submarines with their main guns at this time besides emboldening their courage. And a sailor came, and began to give lifejackets to several American officers on the bridge“ well! Are you going to throw us into the sea if we can't swim? " The American commander was a little dissatisfied with the rudeness of the crew, shouting. The sailor tried to explain the life jacket as much as he could, but without looking up, he replied, "Sir, we are at the core of the fleet, so generally speaking, there is no danger. But we have to ensure your life safety, so we can only let you put on life jackets first. "“ Don't German submarines usually attack at night? Is it necessary for us to be so nervous in the daytime? " The intelligence officer examined his life jacket and asked the sailor who kept tying the rope on it. The sailor was still busy with his work, but he replied without a pause: "Sir, it is true that German submarines only attack at night in general. But some German captains will also launch torpedoes in the daytime, which is not a certain rule. " Before he had finished his words, the artillery fire on the outside stopped, and then the alarm was lifted: "the alarm is lifted! Alert off! German submarines did not attack, most of our fleet passed through dangerous waters! Repeat one side, clear the alarm! The alarm was off... "So everyone relaxed. The Army soldiers who thought they were dead began to pray. Some of them had been drawing a cross on their chest to thank God for his kindness. For the sailors of the Navy and transport ships, all this seems to be commonplace. They are constantly shuttling in the sea all year round, and often encounter this situation. The lookout might mistake whales or anything else for German submarines because of nervousness, and then the whole fleet got nervous for a while, and finally the alarm went off. Sometimes, those false targets may be real German submarines, because in the daytime, German submarines only follow the fleet from a distance, indicating the course and speed of the allied fleet for the friendly forces behind. They like to launch attacks at night, which is more conducive to their floating and launching precious torpedoes from a more perfect angle.
