The Americans are deeply aware of the critical situation they are now in. The United States is the only remaining base in the free world. They have great responsibilities. The isolationism of the past has disappeared. They are all anxious in the coming war.
The United States and Germany will definitely have a war. Just after Germany has defeated the Soviet Union, it will come to the United States for a duel. This world war will finally come to an end with the confrontation between the United States and Germany.
Now the United States must support the Soviet Union. This is the responsibility of the United States. Moreover, it can hold Germany only at a financial price without paying the price of life. This is of course beneficial to the United States.
Now, this is Ralph's view, but in Mitchell's eyes, this is not the case.
"We need time, and Germany needs time even more. When Europe becomes a unified Europe, what chance do we have?" Mitchell muttered, "God, how can we let that lunatic rule Europe!"
Germany also takes time. Once Europe has completed its integration, how can the United States handle it!
If you really intend to deal with Germany, it is better to send troops directly to the Soviet land and push it all the way to destroy Germany. With Britain being occupied by Germany, the United States will definitely not be able to open a second battlefield.
Waiting for the Soviets to consume Germany's strength will also bring opportunities to Germany.
Ralph also had such thoughts, but he was just a small colonel. It was not his turn to worry about this kind of thing. What he needed now was to send the ship’s weapons to the Soviet port for support. The Soviets' war.
He didn't know, at this time they were already in disaster.
As it continued to approach, the U-801 submarine had entered a suitable attack position. At this time, what appeared on Otto's periscope was an extremely clear target.
Three ships, escorting aircraft carriers. At this time, the deck of each ship is full of fighter jets! The Americans are indeed generous and bold.
In the northern part of the Soviet Union, the climatic conditions on the route of the Arctic Ocean are quite harsh. Therefore, the German surface fleet is afraid to come, and the underwater submarine cannot reach it. In this case, the Americans even have an **** warship. No, it's just a transport fleet.
This is nothing short of a win!
"Six electric torpedoes are prepared and set to a depth of three meters." Otto said.
This super submarine has doubled its displacement compared to the previous one, reaching a terrible figure of 6,000 tons. However, its weapon system has not changed much, but has become the first six torpedo tubes.
It is not wise to simply add torpedo tubes, because submarines are underwater ghosts. In an ambush, they can deal with at most two or three targets. With advanced mechanized loading equipment, torpedoes can be loaded quickly. .
At the same time, this is also because the bow needs a huge space to accommodate the large sonar system, leaving only this space for the torpedo cabin.
Although there are only six torpedo tubes, due to the huge space inside the hull, it carries a large number of torpedoes. It can carry nearly 30 torpedoes while occupying some resting space for soldiers!
For torpedo soldiers, they have long been used to it. The torpedo compartment was full when they went out. After two battles, there was room. Hang a hammock in the torpedo compartment, and it was much better for sleeping.
Now, with Otto's order, in the torpedo compartment at the bow of the boat, the sailors enthusiastically began to prepare, and the torpedo tubes from 1 to 6 were loaded in sequence!
At this time, on the sea, the formation was still sailing at a speed of 15 knots, unaware of the imminent danger.
"Right rudder one, ready to launch." Otto shouted.
With the rotation of the tail rudder, the bow of the boat began to move slowly, and as the bow was rotating, Otto gave the command: "Let's launch tubes one to six, one second apart, launch!"
This is the most exciting moment.
"Bang, bang!" With the sound of high-pressure air, strips of torpedoes, from the opened launch tube, are like a dragon escaping water. The propeller at the tail stirs the sea water and rushes towards the target at the highest speed!
When they are launched, the bow of the boat is still rotating, so when the torpedo goes out, it actually goes out in a fan. Only this action reflects Otto's best command.
The three **** aircraft carriers are together. How to hit all three in one strike? Of course, it is safest to launch in a fan!
Even if it is misplaced, it can hit the target. This attack is absolutely cost-effective. You must know that the cost of the above fighter jet is equivalent to a torpedo.
In this era, it is still an era dominated by direct torpedoes. Although German scientific and technical personnel have begun to study wire-guided torpedoes and use sonar to locate them, their service is still far away.
In the past, no captain dared to do this. The torpedoes were too precious to be wasted. One set sail, only a dozen of them were carried. Many captains were eager to float up and use deck guns to solve their opponents.
Up to now, the other party hasn't responded, indicating that the other party didn't care about any threats underwater.
After all, this is the coast of the Soviet Union. Before this, it was an area of absolute security. If anyone said that the German navy dared to run into this sea area, that would definitely be a joke.
To say that the navy of the island nation is still possible, but the island nation is not necessary.
The torpedoes happily happily under the water, getting closer and closer.
"The meteorological department sent a report that a big storm is forming in our north. We need to speed up to avoid this big storm." At this moment, an order came.
Ralph looked at the telegram. The weather conditions here are quite bad, and the Soviets tried their best. They set up a weather station on this route to provide weather forecasts to the fleet. On this cold route, they Still holding on.
The entire bridge is closed. If you go to the deck, you can hang ice ball on your beard with just a word.
"Order the fleet and speed up," Ralph said.
For cargo ships, speed was not a strong point. Now that they heard the order, they all started to speed up slowly, with thick black smoke coming out of the chimney and struggling hard.
"Boom!" At this moment, suddenly, a violent explosion occurred underwater. In the explosion, a cargo ship with black smoke was blown into a big hole.
"No, we're going to sink!" On the boat, the sailor shouted in surprise. At this time, they were full of incomparable fear.
This is the North Pole. Anyone who can swim again will have to freeze to death!
