Chapter 1418 Fan Launch

Americans are deeply aware of the dire situation they are in now. America is the only base left in the free world. They have great responsibilities. The isolationism of the past has disappeared, and they are all worried about the coming war.

The United States and Germany will definitely have a war. Just after Germany defeated the Soviet Union, it will come to the United States for a duel. This world war will end with a confrontation between the United States and Germany.

Now the United States must support the Soviet Union, which is the responsibility of the United States, and it is of course beneficial to the United States to hold Germany at the cost of only some funds, not the cost of life.

Now, Ralph is such a point of 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 that lunatic be allowed to rule Europe!"

Germany also needs time. Once Europe is integrated, how can the United States handle it!

If you really want to deal with Germany, it would be better to just send troops directly to the Soviet Union, push it all the way, and destroy Germany. With Britain being occupied by Germany, the United States will definitely not be able to open up a second battlefield.

Waiting for the Soviets to consume Germany's strength will also bring opportunities to Germany.

Ralph also has this idea, but he is just a small colonel. It is not his turn to worry about this kind of thing. What he needs now is to send the weapons of this ship to the Soviet port for support. Soviet war.

He didn't know, at this time they were already in great trouble.

With the continuous approach, the U-801 submarine has entered a suitable attack position. At this time, what appears on Otto's periscope is an extremely clear target.

Three ships, escorting aircraft carriers, at this time, the decks of each ship are full of fighter jets! Americans are indeed generous and bold.

In the northern part of the Soviet Union, on the route of the Arctic Ocean, the climatic conditions were quite bad, so the German surface fleet did not dare to come, and the underwater submarines could not reach it. No, it's just a transport fleet.

This is simply a giveaway!

"Six electric torpedoes are ready, three meters deep," Otto said.

The displacement of this super submarine has been doubled compared to the previous one, reaching a terrifying figure of 6,000 tons. However, its weapon system has not changed much, except that it has six torpedo tubes on the bow.

Simply adding torpedo tubes is not wise, because submarines are underwater ghosts. In an ambush operation, they can only deal with two or three targets at most. With advanced mechanized loading equipment, torpedo loading is also very fast. .

At the same time, this is also because the bow needs to have a huge space to accommodate the large sonar system, leaving only this space for the torpedo bay.

Although there are only six torpedo launch tubes, due to the huge space inside the hull, it can carry a large number of torpedoes. In the case of occupying some soldiers' rest space, nearly 30 torpedoes can be loaded!

For torpedo soldiers, they have long been used to it. When they go out, the torpedo compartment is full. After two battles, there is room. Hang a hammock in the torpedo compartment, and it is much better to sleep hot.

Now, following Otto's order, in the torpedo compartment of the bow, the sailors began to prepare with great interest. The first to sixth torpedo tubes were loaded with torpedoes in turn!

At this time, on the sea, the formation was still sailing at a speed of 15 knots, unaware that the danger was coming.

"Right rudder one, ready to launch." Otto shouted.

With the rotation of the stern rudder, the bow of the boat also began to move slowly, and while the bow was turning, Otto gave an order: "No. 1 to No. 6 launch tubes, every one second, launch!"

This is the most exciting time.

"Bang, bang!" With the sound of high-pressure air, the torpedoes came out of the open launch tube, like a dragon coming out of the water, and the propeller at the tail stirred the sea water and rushed towards the target at the highest speed!

When they are launched, the bow of the boat still rotates, so when the torpedo goes out, it actually goes out in a fan plane. This action alone reflects Otto's best command.

Those three escort aircraft carriers are together, how to hit all three in one strike? Of course, it is the safest to launch a fan!

Even if it is misplaced, it can hit the target. This attack is definitely cost-effective. You must know that the cost of a fighter above is equivalent to a torpedo.

In this era, it is still the era of direct torpedoes. Although German technicians have begun to study wire-guided torpedoes and use sonar to locate them, their service is still far away.

In the past, no captain had dared to do this. Torpedoes were too precious to be wasted. One set sail only took so many dozen of them. Many captains were eager to float up and use deck guns to deal with their opponents.

Up to now, the other party has not responded at all, indicating that the other party does not care about any underwater threats at all.

After all, this is the coast of the Soviet Union. Before this, it was an absolutely safe area. If anyone said that the German Navy dared to come to this sea area, it would be a joke.

It is possible to say that the island nation's navy is still possible, but the island nation does not need it.

The torpedoes danced merrily underwater, getting closer and closer.

"The weather department has reported that a large storm is forming in our north, and we need to speed up and avoid this large storm." At this moment, an order came.

Ralph looked at the telegram. The weather conditions here were quite bad, and the Soviets did their best. They set up a weather station on this route to provide weather forecasts to the fleet. On this icy route, they Still holding on.

The entire bridge is closed. If you go to the deck, you can hang ice on your beard as long as you say a word.

"Order the fleet, speed up," Ralph said.

For cargo ships, speed is not a strong point in the first place. Now after hearing the order, they all began to slowly increase their speed. Thick black smoke came out of the chimney and struggled hard.

"Boom!" At this moment, suddenly, a violent explosion occurred underwater. In the explosion, a black smokey cargo ship was blown open with a big hole.

"No, we're going to sink!" The sailors on the boat shouted in surprise. At this time, they were all filled with incomparable fear.

This is the North Pole. Anyone who can swim again will have to freeze to death!
