Chapter 1245 Be Both a Bitch and a Torii

The Arctic waters are quite cold. If it was the previous open-top aircraft, it would definitely freeze people after a flight mission.

Now, the German navy is greatly developing its carrier-based aviation, and the aircraft carriers are built one by one. However, Germany has not paid much attention to the development of seaplanes. So far, the monoplane is still used. Ar-196 seaplane.

In the past few years, when it first appeared, compared with those biplanes, it was very advanced, with a maximum speed of 310 kilometers per second, surpassing other seaplanes, but with the development of time, It has gradually become outdated, and it is not comparable to the carrier-based aircraft on those aircraft carriers.

However, Germany has not continued to invest in seaplanes. For Germany, the aircraft carrier formation has gradually grown. When facing serious threats in the future, there will definitely be aircraft carriers involved, and aviation will be handed over to the aircraft carrier.

On the other hand, it is because the helicopters that Germany is developing will be equipped on warships when they are successful. Compared with the need to eject and take off, and then the buoys will land on the water surface, for the seaplanes recovered by cranes, the ship-based helicopters can use the Its own ability to take off and land directly on the warship is the most suitable type of aircraft for ordinary warships.

Now, more than 500 Ar-196 seaplanes have been produced, which are almost standard for German surface ships, and even cruisers of several thousand tons can be equipped.

The current seaplane was ejected by the Admiral Graff-Spey. Now this warship has been transferred to the coast guard force and is the flagship of the coast guard.

It had been dangling near the North Pole since the base camp's mission, but the lack of a single American transport ship in the channel still puzzled the captain and head of the Coast Guard, Colonel Langesdorf.

Could it be that the Americans strangely accepted their own provocation and then stopped shipping? Impossible, are Americans so fooled?

So he ordered his search planes to expand the search area and continue to search north, in the harsh weather conditions within the Arctic Circle.

The pilot Ludwig soon saw the black smoke rising from the sea in the distance, and he was overjoyed. It was the exhaust gas of the boiler of the surface ship, and the machine gunner Lucas in his back seat was even more excited. Knowing clearly, he called out to him, "It's the Liberty, the American cargo ship!"

This plane is a two-person system, and the machine gunners at the back are also observers. In this kind of mission, the machine guns are fixed, the cabin is tightly closed, and there is heat from the engine in the cockpit to keep them warm, so they can still accept it. .

Now, the target has finally been found.

"Haijing No. 1, Marine Police No. 1, found a free ship, now in the sea area of ​​76 degrees north latitude and 10 degrees east longitude, heading east, we are about to intercept." Ludwig shouted in the radio.

At this time, the code name of the Graff in the radio has become the Marine Police No. 1.

76 degrees north latitude, which is 10 degrees north of the sea area they reserved, no wonder they hadn't found it before. At the same time as the call, Ludwig pushed the operating lever and quickly swept away in the direction of the ship.

Don't worry, cargo ships can't be armed.

In the history of later generations, the American Liberty ships did not have any weapons in the early days. It was because the Germans began to attack their cargo ships at sea, and they had to be equipped with weapons at a later stage.

Now, freighters are for civilian use, and civilian means must be used. If they dare to add weapons, Germany will directly greet them with warships, and there is no need to make a roundabout way to come up with a European joint maritime law enforcement committee.

At the same time, Lucas in the back seat also quickly started his work. His hand flipped the switch on the control panel to warm up the high-power amplifier that had just been installed.

Germany has begun to rapidly transition to the era of transistors, but electronic products of transistors are always in short supply. In terms of amplifiers, electronic tubes have outstanding advantages, such as high power and wide frequency band, but the preheating is slower.

Looking at the machine gun above him, Lucas was speechless, and muttered in his mouth: "Machine gun, you rest first, if the people below are disobedient, I will let you teach them a lesson."

Two minutes later, Ludwig was driving the plane and started to circle around the ship, and Lucas picked up the microphone, the tweeters installed behind the pontoons on both sides, and began to shout down.

"Listen to the ship below, we are the maritime patrol aircraft of the European Joint Maritime Law Enforcement Committee. Now, you need to stop sailing immediately and wait for us to enforce the law."

"Repeat, we are the maritime patrol aircraft of the European Joint Maritime Enforcement Committee. Now, you need to stop sailing immediately and wait for us to enforce the law."

The reconnaissance plane was swaying above the ship, and at this time, the people on the ship were all panicked.

For the civilian use of the ship, these crew members are also ordinary sailors. Although they know that they are transporting arms, they are actually ordinary people with high wages. They are not soldiers and have never experienced such a scene.

Captain Chris looked at the plane above his head, and his heart was hesitant at this time.

How to do?

Keep going? Now, as long as they continue to drive forward for dozens of nautical miles, they will be able to reach the active airspace of the naval aviation of the Soviet Northern Fleet. If they send out a distress signal now, ask them to take off fighter planes to escort them, and they can still catch up.

But what happens to the plane if it moves on? The surroundings are endless, and the opponent's warship should still be far away, maybe hundreds of nautical miles.

Whatever it is, move on!

These Germans are simply rogues. The sea route on this ocean should be public. When will it be the turn of the Germans to make a fortune here?

If they directly dispatched warships to intercept, that's fine, but now they have come up with some kind of maritime joint law enforcement committee, which is both a bitch and an archway, which is really disgusting.

Ignore them!

"Go ahead and ask the Soviets for help," Chris shouted, his eyes full of determination, and the stubble on his beard shook as he spoke.

We must fight against this hooliganism!

Black smoke came out of the chimney, the steam boiler continued to pressurize, the bow split the waves and continued to accelerate.

"It seems that the Americans are going to resist law enforcement, and warn them again!" Ludwig shouted, but he was faintly excited.

Resisting law enforcement is the only way to play. It's too tender to want to fight with one's own side.
