Chapter 155
Red Caucasus, late!
At the same time as the confrontation with the Soviet Union, several sailors had already put down their boats from the Red Caucasus and came to the Amur. When they got up, they were stunned by the sight in front of them.
Blood, corpses, and everyone on board were killed! They were both hit by more than one bullet, and the other party was using a submachine gun.
And the most terrifying thing is that the large openings on both sides of the hull were blown open, just in the position of the cabin, and the gold inside no longer exists!
"Captain, the gold is gone, and the people above have all sacrificed." Listening to the first officer's report, Tikhonov felt a surge of blood.
Brits, you have gone too far!
"Listen to the British on the opposite side, you immediately put down your weapons and accept our inspection, otherwise, we will open fire!" Tikhonov asked his men to shout to the distance in English.
At this time, the River Ness has not gone far. It is conceivable that it is very likely that there is gold on this warship. The British got on this ship and wanted to take it hostage and go back to the UK. As a result, they were discovered by their own reconnaissance aircraft. , So the British could only send warships to meet them midway, and transfer the gold above to the warships!
It's so damn bad, the British must not be allowed to escape!
How could 600 tons of gold be stolen by the British like this, and the dead soldiers must be explained to them!
Tikhonov gave an ultimatum. At this time, the guns on his warship had already been loaded with armor-piercing bullets. If the other party was not obedient and captured, then he would open fire!
What kind of punishment, go back and talk about it, at least first, he has no choice!
Hearing the excessive demands of the Soviets, Robert was also quite depressed. Are the Soviets playing thieves and shouting to catch thieves? What's the matter with you? My own side came to rescue, and it actually rescued the accident.
The Soviets are unreasonable, they are a bunch of savages.
"Soviet people, we just received a distress signal, which has nothing to do with us." Robert said: "Please exercise restraint. Stop this behavior that may lead to war."
The fuse of World War I was the shooting of Archduke Ferdinand by a Serbian patriotic youth, and now, because of this unwarranted and wonderful incident, is it going to ignite World War II?
Robert was very restrained at this time. He knew that there must be another force provoking it, and this ship must be transporting the most valuable cargo that the Soviets value most!
I was involved in a conspiracy, but I can't let the conspirators watch the fun behind the scenes!
He is very restrained, but Tikhonov here can't restrain himself: "Show the British some color, the secondary gun, aim at the position one nautical mile in front of the British warship, and prepare to launch!"
In addition to the 180mm gun as the main gun, the Red Caucasus also had four 102mm secondary guns. Now, after hearing the order of Tikhonov, the gunner immediately shook the gun mount and prepared to fire.
The cannonballs of yellow and orange were stuffed into the barrel, so they would not worry about any conflict. Under the propaganda of the Soviets, the West was a man-eating demon.
Prepare! The gunner held a small flag in his hand, waiting for the order from the bridge to come down. As long as the order is issued, his small flag will be put down, and then the secondary gun will fire cannonballs!
"Look, what is that?" At this moment, a sharp-eyed sailor shouted.
In the sky in the distance, several black spots appeared, and the black spots were slowly expanding. That was an airplane!
A biplane with an open cockpit and a torpedo under the belly. This is the British "Swordfish" torpedo!
Moreover, four came at once, forming a torpedo aircraft formation.
Compared with bombers, torpedo planes can throw torpedoes in the airspace far away from the anti-aircraft firepower of warships. The torpedoes travel in the water for a period of time until they hit the target. Even a heavy cruiser like the Red Caucasus cannot withstand the attack of weapons such as torpedoes. of.
Looking at the torpedo planes that appeared in the sky, Tikhonov clenched his fists, but, as the captain, he knew that he had to be responsible for the entire warship, and he would never show his power!
"Captain, Moscow sent a telegram asking us to give up the confrontation with the British Navy." At this moment, the political commissar said to Tikhonov.
The operation is constantly reporting to Moscow, including everything that has just happened, and Moscow finally gave an approval and gave up the confrontation!
Give up, now, if a conflict does break out, the Soviet Navy won't gain anything.
The Red Caucasus can destroy the Neith River in front of her, but it will definitely be sunk by the swarming British torpedo planes, and the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom are so far apart that the British fleet can come up quickly, and The Soviet fleet, but slowly swallowed.
Even if the Soviet fleet arrived here, it would not be able to control the situation, eat what was in the mouth of the British, and expect them to spit it out?
Therefore, the Soviet Union can only eat this loss now and swallow everything in its stomach.
"Damn it!" Tikhonov's fist smashed into the steel wall of the bridge. This incident, the Soviet navy, was so useless!
However, I have written down this hatred, and in the future, I must let the British pay it back!
In the confrontation at sea, no shot was fired in the end. After receiving the news from Moscow, the Soviet ambassador to the United Kingdom immediately protested to the British government and asked the British government to return the goods on the Amur.
Of course, the British government strongly denied this kind of trumped-up thing. The UK only went there when it received a distress call, and the UK had no idea what was going on.
At the same time, the intelligence departments of the two sides also launched a secret investigation, trying to find out the truth of the matter. Unfortunately, until the outbreak of World War II, the whereabouts of the gold was still a mystery.
Now, the one who gets the gold, of course, is the happiest!
More than ten days later, this batch of gold was secretly escorted to a vault in Berlin. Hitler and the others who came to greet the batch of gold in person had smiles on their faces.
"Cyric, you have once again done a great service to the Empire!" Hitler said to Cyric.
Originally, Cyric should have left for Spain, and this operation was planned by Cyric. Except for Hitler, the rest of the people did not know how to arrange it, even Himmler did not know. , And now, Cyric has finally completed this task satisfactorily!
Six hundred tons of gold, which means that Germany no longer has to worry about any military investment issues, and can open up and arm its own army, which is a huge wealth!
