Two Hundred and Eighty Five Return

Seagulls shuttle in the military port, and the early morning military port is intoxicating. However, since the war with Britain, Wilhelmshaven has become a heavily guarded fortress.

After countless expansions and constructions by Akado, it has become one of the most important ports in Germany. Now it can berth all kinds of large ships, and it can also repair and build the latest ocean-going submarines.

On the tranquil sea, the most powerful warships of the German Navy are moored there, lying on the berths like giant beasts in the early morning sun. However, among these warships, the four most conspicuous are the huge ones. aircraft carrier.

Zeppelin, Reich, Bismarck, and Tirpitz, these battleships that supported the sky of the German Navy's surface ships stopped at the corresponding berths in turn. Surrounded by 16 new German cruisers, and then surrounded by 32 German Z-type destroyers. The latest of these warships was launched less than half a year ago, and the oldest was also launched in 1929, and has only been in service for 9 years.

Such a young warship allowed the newly formed German High Seas Fleet to maintain a terrifying fleet speed. If necessary, the entire aircraft carrier fleet can rush to the combat location at a speed of more than 23 knots, which is currently impossible for the fleet of any country.

On the deck of the aircraft carrier, there are densely packed carrier-based aircraft. These FW-190 fighter jets and Stuka bombers with foldable wings can be said to be the most advanced carrier-based aircraft of this era. They are the pride of the German Navy, and they are also The hero who sank the British battleship.

Soldiers carefully inspected these planes and carefully wiped them down. Gently stroke the metal fuselage with your hands, and apply anti-rust maintenance oil to each aircraft. This is their baby and it must be cared for with the utmost care as they must keep these planes working flawlessly in the cold winds and waves of the North Atlantic.

On the pier of the port, 88mm anti-aircraft guns erected high pointing at the sky, and sentries walking back and forth with Mauser 98k rifles on their shoulders, watching the distance, not letting go of any suspicious targets. Beneath the familiar rain visor of the steel helmet, the deep eye sockets of the Germanic look very majestic and charming.

In order to defend this important port, four destroyers patrol the sea outside the port 24 hours a day, and more than 20 minesweepers and anti-submarine patrol ships cruise nearby day and night. There are two standing airfields of the Naval Air Force nearby, and if necessary, including the surrounding air bases, fighter jets can be taken off here to ensure the airspace security of the entire port.

It is also equipped with 3 high-power airspace radars. This new type of equipment can be said to be the most advanced electric product in the world in 1938. After Yuan's supervision and the efforts of German scientists, this device can now completely distinguish the incoming and outgoing attackers. The number and height of enemy aircraft.

Of course, there are also a large number of coastal forts. After the Bismarck battleship plan was cancelled, the Scharnhorst-class battlecruiser was also cancelled, and its nine 283mm cannons were also piled up in Wilhelm Naval Harbor.

Used to prevent the British Navy from breaking into the house. Of course, the countless 88mm anti-aircraft guns and Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft guns in the port are guided by radar, which is even more powerful.

Germany, which lacks a good port, attaches great importance to the Wilhelm Naval Port. Generally speaking, it is unbreakable and impenetrable built by Yuan Akado and Navy Commander Raeder. This is the base camp of the German Navy and the most important supply base for the entire navy—no one.

On the straight road, an entrance to Wilhelm Naval Harbor. A brand-new Mercedes-Benz luxury car slowly stopped in front of the checkpoint barrier at the port, then the second one, and the first one. The guards at the gate all walked out of the checkpoint post, and they stood in a row in front of the gate with their rifles on their backs.

"Long live Yuan!" A second lieutenant walked to the door of the car in the middle and stood at attention to salute. Then he stretched out his right hand: "Sir, please show your ID."

The car window was slowly rolled down, and a hand with a leather glove stretched out, handing out a black ID book. The second lieutenant stood at attention and took the certificate, glanced at the certificate and stood at attention again: "Colonel! Wilhelmshaven!"

"The ones who will come later are all important people. You'd better be more polite when you check." Inside the car, Mr. Colonel wearing a navy uniform raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, reminding his subordinates.

The second lieutenant nodded, and the car passed through the checkpoint. After a while, five more Mercedes-Benz cars drove up to the barrier at the checkpoint. The captain walked to the side of the car behind, and saw the logo of the vice admiral and the flag of the deputy commander hanging on the front of the car. He quickly stood at attention and saluted: "Yuan Akado? Long live Rudolph!" The leather boots bumped together and made a crisp sound.

The glass window of the car lowered slowly, and inside was Doenitz's slightly thin but radiant face. The assistant on the co-pilot handed the ID to the second lieutenant, who quickly stood at attention and saluted again, signaling to raise the railing to let him pass.

The car moved slowly, and the guards on both sides raised their arms and sent them off with German gifts. You can still see the convoy entering here, and another row of convoys stopped outside the barrier. And this time the name is even bigger, the car in the middle actually hangs the commander-in-chief of the navy commander.

Raeder sat expressionless in the car, and one of his secretaries got out of the car and began to explain the tasks to the second lieutenant on duty for a while.

Pointing to the railing, the secretary told the second lieutenant that more people would come: "There is an important welcome ceremony today, so the high-level officials of the Navy will come over one after another, and then there will be some reporters, both foreign and domestic. , they will come in a truck together with Miss Fanny, Minister of Propaganda Department of the Empire, and you will let them go immediately after checking the documents."

"Miss Fanny is Yuan's...friend, so you'd better keep your eyes open. If something goes wrong, God can't save you." The secretary whispered into the captain's ear, and then went back own car.

Of course, after a while, the second lieutenant knew why God could not save him, because several black trucks stopped in front of the sentry post, and an SS officer got out of the leading convertible car and drove a A copy of the order issued by the Waffen-SS High Command was handed to the second lieutenant.

"We were ordered to strengthen the security here. Anything that happened here today must be backed up to Yuan. The Supreme Command of the Empire ordered that the absolute safety of this port must be ensured." After he finished speaking, he handed another document to the Second Lieutenant: "This is a protection order issued by Admiral Reinhardt. I will personally protect Miss Fanny's personal safety."

"Long live Yuan!" The second lieutenant quickly stood at attention and waved his hand to let him go.

On the truck, rows of Waffen SS soldiers were all carrying MP-44 assault rifles. In terms of equipment, it was more than one grade better than the Mauser 98k rifles used by the Wilhelmshaven garrison.

It seems that they are the most elite troops of the SS in the legend. Who are the big shots welcomed today? The second lieutenant thought to himself.

"There is nothing to keep secret. Half an hour later, the hero of the German Navy and the pride of the submarine force, the Imperial submarine U-211 will return to the Wilhelm Naval Harbor." After another half an hour, the assistant of the Minister of the Imperial Propaganda Department, Fanny, submitted The pass and the specially issued permit, and said with a smile: "Do you think this matter is not important?"

"They're back? Oh, God! Long live Germany, long live Yuan!" The second lieutenant was fascinated by this beautiful and charming female assistant, with a flattering smile on his face. He handed back the ID to the beauty, and waved his hand to let the whole convoy go, and the SS convertible car that had been parked next to it also drove away. This busy checkpoint finally sent the last A group of fairies.

In the car, the female assistant turned around and finally couldn't help asking: "Minister, although this is an important interview, there is no need to mobilize so many people, right? It would be too much of a fuss for you to go there yourself."

"Hehe." In the back seat, Fanny smiled: "This matter is very important, and I must personally control every detail to be at ease. This is an important task entrusted to me by Yuan, and I don't want to mess it up."

She looked out of the car window and saw the warship parked in the port: "Besides, he can't come here to welcome these heroes in person, so I have to come here for him."

"Is it worth it? Minister...yuan him..." the female assistant asked with a little regret.

"When you fall in love with a man, you will understand how I feel now." Fanny shrugged her shoulders: "You will give everything for him, and you are even willing to betray the whole world for him..."

The car stopped at the designated location, and the sentries around watched the parked car. Their professional habits made them not miss any suspicious places. The SS convertible car was also parked aside, and the SS officer jumped out of the car, walked to Fanny's car, and opened the door for her.

"Long live Yuan! I was ordered to wait for your orders here, ma'am." The officer put his hand on the brim of his military cap and said politely.

"Long live Akado! I'm glad Reinhardt let you come and help me." Fanny got out of the car, and saw not far away, Raeder and Denitz came together.

She greeted these military leaders with a smile, and ordered the reporters from various countries who came with her to arrange designated interview positions. They are not allowed to take pictures here, and have to go to a warehouse that is covered on all sides to get each of their camera equipment.

"Who is that beauty? How did so many generals pay so much attention to it?" A port guard carrying a rifle asked the SS soldiers standing aside.

"Minister of the Imperial Propaganda Department, the woman who dedicated everything to Yuan." The SS guard looked at it and replied: "She represents the Imperial Yuan in many cases..."
