#1691 Tanker Attacked (Plus 2)

Calm and calm in the Gulf of Mexico.

The Crelu is an oil tanker with a displacement of more than 20,000 tons. In this era, it is already a giant with a considerable displacement. Now, it is slowly sailing in the Gulf of Mexico.

From the chimney at the top, thick black smoke came out, and the boiler was burning vigorously.

Although the displacement of this oil tanker is huge, there are not many operators. There are only more than 20 sailors. On this ship, sailor Roy is standing on the deck of the bloated oil tanker, looking into the distance.

Their destination this time is South Africa. Originally, most of the steady production of Mexican oil was exported to Europe. However, with Germany's large-scale oil exploration in Libya and its continuous expansion in the Middle East, the oil production of these oil fields has already It is enough for the whole of Europe. Therefore, Mexico's oil can only be exported to other countries. South Africa is in constant development, and the oil demand is steadily increasing.

In addition to South Africa, their oil is also exported in large quantities to the United States and South America and other countries. Especially in the United States, the demand is very large. Under the stimulation of the war, although the domestic oil industry in the United States has been activated to the extreme, it still cannot meet the demand.

This trip to sea will be a long voyage of two or three months. Roy has long been used to it, but under the shroud of war, everyone's heart is heavy.

Germany has completed its occupation of Europe and is at war with the United States. Although Mexico is now strictly neutral, there is always danger in the vast ocean.

Thinking of this, Roy shook his head. What does this kind of world war have to do with his little sailor?

Roy looked at the sea in the distance. With the sea breeze blowing, the sea swayed up and down, and the seagulls flew on the sea. This picture is so spectacular.

Suddenly, his eyes were drawn to the movement on the sea.

Why did a bunch of small bubbles suddenly appear on the sea?

The little bubble is constantly advancing, and the target is pointing to its own side!

This is definitely not an ordinary little bubble, it seems to be? Thinking of this, he felt every hair on his body stand up.

"Attention, torpedo, starboard, a torpedo is coming towards us!"

Roy shouted loudly, and his voice reached the back of the cockpit, where the bearded captain looked towards the starboard side, and saw the little bubbles swimming quickly towards his side. For a moment, he also knew that the judgement of his sailors was correct.

torpedo!

If they were a warship, they could still avoid it by turning at high speed, but now it is different. They are just an ordinary oil tanker with a maximum speed of less than ten knots, so they can only watch helplessly. Following this torpedo, it came towards its side, and then it landed on its own starboard side.

It's over, it's over.

At this moment, the captain was extremely desperate in his heart, and the other crew members were also desperate. They were oil tankers! Without all kinds of protective measures, as long as it is hit, the ship will definitely sink, and there will be a lot of fuel leakage.

When the oil age begins, the transportation of crude oil by sea has a terrible risk of leakage, which will cause serious ecological disasters.

The captain closed his eyes and waited for that terrible moment to come.

However, after a few seconds, he opened his eyes.

There was no terrifying explosion as expected, nothing, and he looked down at the side of his ship, where everything was normal.

Was it just a misjudgment? Impossible, absolutely impossible!

At this moment, Roy heard the voice again: "Second torpedo!"

The terrifying bubbles appeared again and rushed over quickly on the sea. In the eyes of everyone, this torpedo brought a fierce offensive and made intimate contact with the hull.

"boom!"

This time, I wasn't as lucky as last time.

The first time it came, it was a stink bomb that didn't explode, but the second one, it exploded.

With the loud explosion, the hull shook for a while, and then a gurgling sound was heard.

The crude oil carried in the ship began to leak outside!

"Quick, send out the signal for help!" the captain shouted loudly.

If it was out on the high seas, they would be in trouble. Now it's just in the Gulf of Mexico, not far from the coastline. They still have the possibility of being rescued. They can be rescued before the ship sinks completely.

Roy leaned on the boat, the hull was slowly tilting, he watched the black crude oil flow into the sea, he looked at the blue sea, dyed black.

The marine fish are struggling in the black crude oil, they can't breathe, they can't swim, they are dying helplessly and sadly, their corpses, floating on the sea, stay with the crude oil.

These sea fish caught the attention of the birds in the sky, and a sea bird swooped down from the sky, as before, ready to pick up one of the fish in its beak in a perfect predation maneuver, but when its beak After coming into contact with the sea fish, it immediately found that it was not good. It was too late to turn, and inertia made it rush into the crude oil. Then, every piece of its feathers was stained with crude oil. It struggled in the crude oil, struggled, and finally met. Crude oil blends together.

Looking at all this, Roy was extremely angry, who did it?

Mexico, a neutral country, actually uses submarines and torpedoes to attack neutral ships. This is simply a blatant violation of international norms and international order!

The oil tanker Crelu was torpedoed by an unknown nationality in the Gulf of Mexico. The oil tanker sank and a large amount of crude oil leaked. This news immediately became the headline news of the day in the newspapers.

The capital of Mexico, Mexico City, is also very depressing.

"It must have been the Germans. We have started an accident investigation, and all the blame is directed at Germany."

The US ambassador to Mexico, after receiving the news, immediately came to the presidential palace to explain the situation to President Camacho.

Who but the Germans would be so maddened? To actually take the initiative to attack the oil tanker is simply intolerable!

"The goal of the Germans is to stop Mexico's oil shipments and destroy the economy of Mexico. The goal of the Germans is to rule the world. Now, Mexico has no choice but to stand with us," the Mexican ambassador continued.

"Mr. Ambassador, how can you be so sure?" said President Camacho, suppressing his anger.

"Of course, is there any doubt about this? It wasn't the Germans who did it, who else did it?" said the U.S. ambassador to Mexico: "The torpedoes we use are all electric torpedoes. The tanker that was hit this time can be If you see clear bubbles, it's a thermal torpedo, which must be German."

The Mexican ambassador was very relaxed, and it really gave them a great opportunity. The Germans actually came to fight the Mexican oil tanker. Now, can Mexico not follow the United States?

"The truth, we will find out, no one can hinder our oil development." President Camacho said.
