Chapter 1692 Finding the Lost Torpedo (Plus 3)

In the early days of World War II, the Americans did not pay much attention to torpedoes. The developed MK13, 14, and 15 torpedoes, (one type, but launched from different vehicles), these torpedoes are all scumbags, and they have harmed a lot of people. submariner.

However, these torpedoes are all electric torpedoes and will not bubble, and the torpedo that hit the tanker this time can bubble, which is obviously a thermal torpedo.

Needless to say? Of course the Germans did it!

In the American analysis, the matter is too simple.

A considerable part of the oil exported by Mexico is exported to the United States. After all, the United States is now in a state of war and is very eager for oil. Now that the tankers in Mexico are bombed, so that they cannot export oil, the United States will be seriously threatened.

The Germans just planned to interrupt the US's back path. Unfortunately, doing so will only make Mexico a trick, and Mexico can only survive by relying on the US. In this way, Mexico wholeheartedly joins its own camp, and then pulls in South America, and the US There is definitely still hope!

The Germans are so stupid, that Cyric, finally did something stupid!

"Then, it's time for us to talk about your oil matters. We in the United States do not want to see such an ecological disaster happen again. You can only stand with us and fight against Germany. It is the most correct. We can send escort ships to counter submarines for your tankers, and if you act alone again, you will likely continue to be sunk by tankers."

The U.S. ambassador continued to speak complacently, which is not the case in the ears of the Mexican president.

This is simply showing off, demonstrating, if you don't follow us, in the future, your oil tankers will not sail normally! How do you say it like the Americans do?

Valdez couldn't help frowning. This matter must not be so simple. Does the United States only have electric torpedoes?

No, this matter must be checked carefully!

The Americans were still talking. Valdez and Camacho exchanged glances, and both saw the worry in the other's eyes. If it was really the Americans, then this kind of behavior is really unforgivable!

Just two years ago, because Mexico nationalized oil, it also led to hostility between Britain, the United States and Mexico. If it weren't for the change in the situation, maybe the smelly American soldiers would be killed, and now, Americans are still a toe. With a high-spirited look, do you really think it was the last US-Mexico war?

The American ambassador was sent off, and the two sat down.

"We must find out the truth of this matter." President Camacho said: "According to the captain's report, the first torpedo fired by the other party was a dud, right?"

A lifelong soldier, Camacho joined Carranza's army in 1915 as a lieutenant and was quickly promoted through the ranks, eventually becoming a general. In 1932 he became Secretary of the Army and Navy, and in 1937 he became Secretary of Defense.

Therefore, Camacho is quite clear about these matters of the army. Now, Camacho has keenly grasped the key point. What the Americans say is secondary. The main thing is to find the torpedo. As long as the torpedo is found, everything will come to an end.

If the Americans say that the Germans did it, the Germans will also say that the Americans did it, but the torpedoes will not be faked.

"Yes, I will leave and send someone to salvage the nearby waters. I must salvage that dud bomb." Valdes also looked serious.

"This matter must be carried out secretly and must not be known to the Americans." Camacho once again asked.

Salvaging torpedoes is not easy.

When the torpedo sails in the water, it sails at a certain depth and will not sink under the sea, but this is because the torpedo is moving.

When the torpedo sails in the water, the power plus buoyancy is exactly equal to the gravity of the torpedo, so that the torpedo will not sink, but if the torpedo does not hit the target within the range, the power of the torpedo is exhausted, the gravity will be greater than the buoyancy, and the torpedo will sink to the bottom of the sea.

Think about it too. According to the ancient Archimedes principle, the dead weight of the torpedo must be greater than the gravity of the drained water. It is because it has power to maintain a straight line, which is similar to that of an airplane flying in the sky. Once it loses power, it must be will fall.

Finding things that sink to the bottom of the ocean is a problem.

All of this has to be carefully deduced.

"Yes, it is in this sea area, I remember very clearly, about a thousand meters ahead of us." Sailor Roy sat on a small boat and instructed several technicians.

After being rescued, Roy couldn't sleep almost every night. As soon as he closed his eyes, it was those sea birds and sea fish. Now, a few days have passed, and the area of ​​crude oil has spread even more. This black sea has become a dead place. place.

All of this was caused by that submarine. As long as you let yourself know who did it, you will never let him go!

Thinking of this, Roy raised his fist, and he was very angry.

From here, to the front, where the tanker sank, sailed in a straight line. Several technicians made careful calculations on the ship, and fully considered the impact of ocean currents.

"Let's go to the opposite side, two nautical miles or so underwater." The technician drew a circle on the chart with a pen. Judging from the power of the torpedo, it should have landed there.

The biggest advantage here is that it is relatively close to the coast, and the water depth is only 50 meters.

The biggest problem in diving is the pressure. For every ten meters, the pressure will increase by one atmosphere. At a depth of 50 meters, it is equivalent to six times the pressure at sea level. In this way, divers must perform decompression diving.

But the depth is not particularly deep, and there is no need to wear a rubber wetsuit with heavy full-body equipment.

Several divers carried two oxygen cylinders on their backs, and at the same time, there were two additional high-pressure oxygen cylinders hanging from their waists and arms, wearing diving suits. into the sea.

Their feet beat the sea water, and at the same time, they began to breathe high-purity oxygen to do simple underwater stage decompression.

After more than ten seconds, the decompression was completed, and they continued to dive down, and soon reached the bottom of the water.

Here, the sun penetrates the sea softly and turns light blue, and all the underwater creatures are floating with the sea water, and the divers begin to search.

This is bound to be a long process, as long as there is a little miscalculation, the final landing point of the torpedo may change greatly.

But not for someone who's bubbling with bubbles from someone's mouth.
