1095 Depressive Work

In this world, because of the vastness of the territory, many things are caused by colleagues. While the Japanese Navy was still fighting the US Navy to the death, in the German port in the middle of the night, Raedel went to Iceland to show off his might. The battleship Admiral is slowly approaching its dock.

Because it was late at night, there was no military band standing on the pier to greet these triumphant soldiers, but being able to go to land and enjoy a short vacation was the best time these sailors longed for most. Many soldiers carried their luggage and accumulated money, and walked down the hanging ladder with laughter, and the whole pier suddenly became lively.

In order to increase the concealment of its own fleet sailing, the main force of the German Navy basically still uses Wilhelm Naval Harbor as a base for activities. Because if they dock at other French and British ports, they will soon be noticed by British and American spies and will be closely monitored. Although the German spy agencies are working hard to investigate these foreign spies stationed in the German-occupied areas, the actual results are not satisfactory.

This kind of low-level spy is like a small fish in the sea, with a large number and no need for training. Any local disaffected by the Third Reich could become such a spy, and the mission they carried out was not dangerous, and it was indeed difficult to detect. As long as they observe more things around them after they are at home, and then telegraph the activities of some nearby German troops, they have completed their mission.

On another pier, listening to the hustle and bustle not far away, the silhouette of the huge warship could still be seen by the faint light. Compared with that side, the voices here seem small and trivial. Unlike the ships arriving at the port over there, the docks at this pier are ships preparing to leave the port.

Two new German ocean-going submarines are docked on this pier, one on the left and one on the right. When the sea breeze blows over, there is still a cool feeling.

Even on the genialest days, the North Atlantic is not as calm as other oceans, and the men on this pier are used to the challenges of rough seas.

Prien lit a cigarette and stood beside his sub, looking at the indistinguishable surface of the sea. It was pitch black there, as if it was a monster with its mouth wide open, devouring the lives of all those who provoked it. Taking a deep breath, Prien protruded a puff of smoke, and the white navy cap slanted on his head made him look open-minded with vicissitudes of life.

Just over ten hours ago, the command of the German Navy's submarine force confirmed a sad news for everyone. The submarine sank in the water near Iceland.

In a short period of one year, this outstanding submarine captain sank 41 Allied transport ships of various types, with a total tonnage of more than 170,000 tons. Prien had just laid a wreath for the poor companion, a simple ceremony taking place in the auditorium not far away.

Dönitz came here during the day, and the auditorium was crowded with crew members from various submarines and people who knew the ace submarine captain. All the officers and men on the new ocean-going submarine u47 have visited this esteemed colleague and offered their most sincere respect.

Lemp's young wife was crying unrecognizably next to the empty coffin, and Lemp's 4-month-old child was held by his grandma, and he still slept soundly in such a miserable environment. He may not know that his father has passed away, and he does not know that this pain will accompany him throughout his life.

"I heard that it's a mechanical failure, do you dare to believe it so easily?" Prien smoked a little angrily, and complained to the adjutant standing beside him who was also muttering: "A man who used to play tricks in the enemy's escort fleet The ace captains of several destroyers were unable to dive due to malfunctions and were surrounded by the enemy.

hell! "

People fighting on the ocean have been isolated from the world for a long time. Their behavior has become eccentric, the way of speaking and the ups and downs of mood are as moody as the sea water. As for the officers and soldiers of the German Navy submarine force, the tests they faced were even more terrifying.

They have to fight wits and courage with their enemies, attack at the place closest to the enemy and rely on their skilled skills to get rid of the enemy's pursuit. They are like matadors challenging powerful enemies, taking away the most precious things of the enemy and destroying them. the will of the enemy.

Similarly, they also have to fight against the surging sea water, and use their fearless spirit to challenge the majestic power of nature. They marched forward bravely against the stormy waves, entrusting their lives on a small boat with a displacement of only more than 2,000 tons. Now, they are constantly worrying about whether their ship will fail, which is simply rubbing salt in their wounds.

"He was very brave. After dismissing the crew, he destroyed the cipher machine, and then unscrewed the sea opening, and sank with the ship." While smoking, the adjutant moved his position and got out of the way to carry vegetables to the submarine. There is a chef with fruit and a few non-commissioned officers who help.

After the adjutant stepped aside, he took another puff of his cigarette before continuing, "I heard that his adjutant sank with him. I can do this too, if we really have such a day."

As he spoke, he looked at the various medals hanging on his chest, smiled as if mocking himself, and shook the arm holding the cigarette at Prien: "Look, you can't let the British Capture a German military officer with the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross? Besides, with oak leaves."

"Don't worry, I won't be sunk like him." Seeing that the preparations were coming to an end, Prien threw away the cigarette that was left in his hand, then crushed it with his feet, and walked towards himself submarine. The guard by the hanging ladder stood at attention and raised his arm: "Long live Yuan Akado Rudolph!"

"Long live Yuan!" Prien raised his arm symbolically, and took his adjutant to the submarine that was about to accompany them on the sea. He passed by several technicians, the last maintenance personnel to check the status of the submarine.

The more high-tech something is, the more likely it is to malfunction. This is a constant truth that applies to most situations. Before the invention of firearms, few soldiers may die because of their own bows and arrows; and the time for Nokia phones to establish a strong and durable reputation is by no means after they use five-inch screens.

Germany has always been at the forefront of the world's military technology, not because it has paid its own price. How many people are silently dedicating themselves to being able to switch to a weapon on the front line? And how many people gave their precious lives to make a weapon more mature?

Especially in the high-tech services such as the Air Force and the Navy, the Germans paid a lot of painful prices that others could not imagine. At least 45 pilots died away from the battlefield because of testing new aircraft; two German submarines and their teams died on the bottom of the Atlantic a few months ago because of the use of new and immature magnetically guided torpedoes.

Behind the glamorous results of the German armed forces are the sleepless efforts of countless scientific and technological personnel, as well as the silent dedication and adventure of countless soldiers and officers. And no matter how low the failure rate is, no matter how reliable and stable the equipment is, there will be some problems of this kind, but in the extreme environment of the battlefield, once such problems occur, only soldiers will pay with their lives.

"Set sail! Go!" Prien stood on the conning tower of his submarine, leaning on the railing and said his order calmly. The cable was thrown to the dock, and the engine began to work slowly. The slender and beautiful submarine began to slowly Move forward, and under the control of the steering gear, move away from the dock bit by bit.

"We're going to avenge you, brother." Prien said softly, looking at the slightly lit auditorium in the distance. Beside him, when the adjutant heard these words, he also looked at the unclear auditorium in the distance. There is a once fresh life there, a hero who once led more than 50 people and fought bloody for Germany.

Everyone on the submarine seemed to be in a bad mood. In fact, apart from attending a companion's funeral before leaving, which made everyone feel a little down, the more reason was because of the voyage itself. In fact, they have seen too many such funerals. There have been 100 submarines sunk in the sea, and everyone is no stranger to death.

But sailing means that the 57 of them will live alone at sea. While attacking the enemy, they must carefully avoid the enemy's search and attack. They will spend countless sleepless nights, under the beating of the enemy's sonar, In the patrol of the sky plane, try your best to make trouble for the enemy. Accompanying them is the monotonous roar of machinery, boring dashboards and electronic instruments, a cabin full of strange smells and oil stains, and dozens of torpedoes that can destroy the world once they explode.

I believe that no one would feel that sleeping with explosives on their pillows under ten meters of water, avoiding the pursuit of destroyers and the inspection of planes, is a very pleasant job. So when this job comes, these sailors can't have excited expressions and high morale. They can only face all this with numbness, and then wait patiently, waiting for the time to return to the voyage, so that they can see the smiles from their hearts on their faces.
