Chapter 148 Maritime Transport

"Woooo." The train whistled and drove into the station.

There is an unpleasant smell inside the tanker. In the past few days, they have traveled almost all over Spain. The downside is that these days they are about to fall apart. The strongest fighters are in the tanker. God, will collapse.

And the good thing is that they finally safely transported the gold in this carriage to the port!

Pushing open the compartment door of the stuffy tanker, the smell of fresh sea breeze blew over, and everyone felt much more comfortable.

"Quick, quick, quick!" At this time, Alexander's eyes were all bloodshot. Over the past few days, he had revised the route many times, and finally, the gold was safely transported to the port.

Now, those German eyeliners may still be waiting for themselves in the southern port? Alexander was quite proud and came all the way, quite calmly.

Now, there is only one last thing left, put this gold on board!

The train drove directly to the port, and there was still a distance of hundreds of meters from the train parking space in the port to the Soviet cargo ship Amur parked at the dock.

Just one last thing left.

Alexander cheered up. He knew that he must not relax his vigilance now. Maybe those guys would come here to grab it? Six hundred tons of gold is a number that drives countless people crazy.

Moreover, the transport work is very slow.

Standing on one of the highest points of the pier, Alexander personally supervised the handling, which was the final task.

As long as this gold is loaded onto the cargo ship, Alexander's mission will be over.

After all, a cargo ship is the maritime territory of a country, and no one will intercept a cargo ship without a legitimate reason.

At the same time, in order to prevent accidents, the Amur cargo ship will never act on its own. The Soviet warship Tashkent-class destroyer has already arrived here at the same time, and will provide protection all the way when it returns.

In fact, the size of this destroyer is a little small. If the news that the Amur had transported gold leaked out, it might attract more pretenders. However, this destroyer represents the Soviet Union, and an attack on this warship means declaring war on the Soviet Union.

All countries will definitely weigh it. In the end, they can only watch their own warships escort the transport ships away, and they will never dare to attack.

Moreover, only this one will not attract the attention of other countries. If a large number of warships are dispatched in a mighty manner, the British will definitely be the first to be alert.

The most worrying thing is the land. As long as he gets on the ship and leaves the port, Alexander can breathe a sigh of relief.

He didn't know that at this time, a few kilometers away from the port, someone was already observing the roof of a small building.

"As we guessed right, the Soviets really unloaded and loaded the ship from here." Facing the sea breeze and carefully observing this side with binoculars, Reinhardt sat down and looked relaxed.

"Major Reinhardt, you are amazing!" said the assistant in admiration.

"On land, it's nothing, we have to inform Captain Skolzny to come down to see them," Reinhardt said.

Reinhardt is a little regretful. Due to various factors, he could not rob the gold on the ground. His task was to supervise and find all the information about the other party, and the action was handed over to the people led by Skorzeny. Completed.

I really want to grab the gold with my own hands.

These golds were moved for a whole day. When night fell, the Amur and the Tashkent-class destroyers secretly left the port and embarked on the return journey.

The Amur is a cargo ship with a displacement of 1,000 tons. Now, with 600 tons of gold loaded, the cargo ship is already very heavy, the draft is deep, and the speed has also dropped.

The two large chimneys at the top kept pouring out black smoke, and the boiler was working at full power. Unfortunately, the speed of the boat could only be driven to 12 knots.

Compared with cargo ships, this is already a good speed. Some of the supertankers in later generations can only travel at a speed of 6 knots.

The Tashkent class on the other side was a little impatient.

The Tashkent class in history is a warship built by the Italians to help the Soviet Union. It was not completed until 37 years later. It is a high-speed ship. During the trial voyage, it once ran a high speed of 43.5 knots, which is considered a complete merit.

And now, Germany has robbed the Italians of the contract, or in other words, it has nothing to do with the Italians. Cyric's visit has successfully taken down this kind of ship and built one for the Soviets, and the Soviets are quite satisfied.

Therefore, the Tashkent class is different from history. For example, in terms of power, this warship does not use a boiler, but uses the latest German MAN diesel engines. Although it is only equipped with two, it can also make this warship Biao. The high speed of 30 knots, at the same time, the endurance brought by the diesel engine has also been greatly improved, exceeding 10,000 nautical miles.

After the warship was equipped with the Soviet Navy, they were very satisfied. If it were not for the follow-up purchase of aircraft carriers, the Soviet Union planned to let Germany provide several more warships of the same type.

Now, on the Tashkent-class destroyer, Captain Nikolai is standing on the bridge, looking at the night sky in the dark, with a little anxiety in his heart.

"Amur, why is it so slow? Can't they go any faster?" Nikolai said.

"We have already urged it with lights, but the Amur is a cargo ship after all, and the current speed is already very difficult." First mate Grassi said to him.

"I really don't know what those people in Moscow think." Nikolai said: "Why don't you send a fast boat here."

On land, Nikolai does not need to worry about it, but at sea, Nikolai is the nanny. He must ensure the safety of the Amur. The shorter the time at sea, the better, and at the current speed, he has to walk on Half a month!

Now, the mighty purge that took place in the Soviets has not yet begun. If it's another year, Nikolai's words will be enough to kill him.

"Grassi, you are on duty." Nikolai finally left the bridge reluctantly. He was tired and it was time to go back to rest. The voyage at sea was destined to be long.

And on the lower floor, in the engine room, the engineer soldiers yawned and fell asleep amid the noise and vibration.

This can be said to be the most difficult place on the entire warship, and it is also the only place where there is no need to guarantee the military appearance. For example, the current marine troopers almost only wear a pair of shorts, and sweat constantly falls.

It was a normal night.
