Chapter 1797 Unexpected Discovery

"Thank you for your support." At this time, on the dock, German Captain Terry said to Carlos, the person in charge on the dock.

This Carlos is also an authentic German. More than 50 years ago, his grandfather brought his family to Argentina and settled here. After these years of development, they have prospered in Argentina. .

"These are what we should do," Carlos said. "We slaughtered hundreds of new cattle, made fresh canned beef, and prepared them for our own people. They are the best."

Argentina is a big livestock country with countless cattle and sheep. In order to supply the German army, they slaughtered them on the spot and made canned beef to maintain the freshest taste.

The route of Germany's advance is absolutely confidential. However, in many cases, some situations can be inferred. For example, now, German supply ships come here to supply supplies, and they are loaded with high-grade aviation fuel. They must be Can guess something.

They are also very excited. The German flag has been flying all over Europe. As a German, its status in South America has suddenly become higher. The whole of Argentina is full of confidence in the future.

With the help of Germany, it is also very easy to retake the Malvinas Islands, which have always been occupied by the British.

"Well, it seems, it's ready tonight, and we'll set off overnight," Terry said.

As long as the German fleet docks, it will be supported at the highest level. For example, now, after they dock, the terminal mobilizes all forces to carry out the first loading operation for them, and they can all be loaded tonight.

"Yeah, my friend, I'm already looking forward to our next meeting."

The two chatted and looked at the busy scene on the pier. At this time, they did not know that a pair of eyes were staring at them in the distance underwater.

It was a total accident.

The U.S. Navy catshark-class submarine Horse Mackerel was originally in the Pacific Fleet, but now, with the return of Midway Island, there are not too many problems in the Pacific Ocean for the time being. Even if the island countries want to continue to make trouble in the Pacific Ocean, they have already Can't afford to turn a storm.

Therefore, a large number of submarines were transferred to the Atlantic Ocean to prepare to attack European shipyards. Although anti-submarine facilities appeared in the shipyards, which caused great losses to the submarines in the early stage, the US Navy immediately changed its tactics. , wandering in the sea outside, waiting for an opportunity at any time.

The Horse Mackerel was almost the last to get there. It missed several of its daily communications, and when it got the message, it had been a week.

At that time, it happened to be playing hide-and-seek with warships in the South Pacific and several island countries, and the supplies were running out. Therefore, after careful consideration, Captain Bill decided to go from the southern part of South America, just in time to go to the Falkland Islands for supplies.

So, it started all the way over.

This is a new generation of submarines built by the United States. The displacement has been enlarged to 2,400 tons. It belongs to the category of large submarines and is suitable for ocean-going operations. The transformation of the United States is very fast. When it was discovered that the Atlantic Ocean was dominated by the Germans, it immediately began to counterattack. The submarine is the best weapon.

The U.S. submarine force has also been rapidly expanding.

However, it has not changed to an elongated teardrop shape like the German submarine, and it is mainly based on underwater navigation. It still uses surface navigation as the main way.

In the Pacific Ocean, it was always on the surface, and after turning over Cape Horn, it came to the Falkland Islands, and after replenishing enough supplies, it planned to cross the Atlantic Ocean and set up an ambush where the command instructed.

However, during the voyage, it found a German oil and water supply ship!

Instantly, it became curious.

The ship didn't fly the German flag, and even the number on the side of the ship was smeared. Immediately, Bill was very curious.

Keep up with that boat!

Due to the lack of a snorkel, Bill could only take risks, use the surface navigation state, follow the other party from a distance, and can only see the other party's mast from a distance. In this way, he followed all the way to the capital of Argentina. After that, he Entered the diving state, and began to observe quietly.

"The German supply ship is full of cargo in Argentina, where are they going?" Seeing all this from the periscope, Bill was quite strange.

Almost everyone knows that the Germans have already captured Greenland and plan to land across the sea from Greenland, pass through Canada, and enter the continental United States.

Even in small street restaurants, people talk about this topic.

In this case, the main force of the Germans should be in the north. How could such a large supply ship appear in South America?

Weird, so weird.

If it is a normal cargo ship, such as transporting large quantities of livestock from Argentina to Europe, it is normal, but this kind of supply ship is too unusual.

There is a problem, there must be a problem!

"Captain, are we going to fire?" asked the first officer on the side.

Now, as long as it can be determined that the other party's ship is a German cargo ship, then fire can be fired. Now, the two countries are in a state of confrontation.

Submarines, as hidden killers hidden underwater, destroying enemy cargo ships is a major task. Historically, Germany has done the most, and Americans have done the same. Most of the tonnage sunk are cargo ships.

"No, let's follow it and see where it goes." Captain Bill was more experienced, and at the same time, he also had a strong premonition in his heart, as if he was discovering a big German secret!

He could only wait quietly in the water.

American technology is backward, one generation behind Germany in all aspects, and the same is true in submarines.

Even for diesel-electric submarines, Germany has also realized the snorkel, which can sail underwater for a long time, while other countries, historically only after the end of World War II, discovered this kind of divine operation by the Germans, and then used them one after another. on his own submarine.

Not to mention that now, Germany has begun to have AIP submarines and nuclear submarines, leading the United States in an all-round way.

The current Horse Mackerel can only use batteries underwater. If you want to track the German supply ship while sailing, you can only risk sailing on the surface.

Fortunately, when the other party set sail, it happened to be at night. As the captain of the submarine, he must have enough patience. He commanded his own submarine and followed it carefully. When I saw that the other party continued to go south, preparing to bypass Tierra del Fuego at the southern tip of South America, I became even more excited. This was a big discovery!
