Chapter 474 Rescue

"Name?"

"Bruce."

"age?"

"Twenty-four."

"Job?"

"I was a U.S. Navy pilot before. He retired half a month ago and was going to the UK to join the British Air Force." Looking at the German opposite, Bruce said everything about himself without any hesitation.

The submarine never floated again, but when it was dark, the armored ship Deutschland appeared in front of them and rescued the remaining sailors. At this time, there were not even fifty people left. .

Toke's whereabouts are also unknown, and he may have been buried in the belly of the fish, and Bruce has also speculated a lot.

Obviously, the torpedo planes were strafing their side because they had found German warships nearby. If they didn't kill these sailors on the sea, the Germans would definitely rescue them again. In that way, the United States The secret aid to Britain was exposed.

This is not good for the United Kingdom and the United States, so that torpedo plane will kill the killer and plan to kill all of its own.

Unfortunately, it was a miscalculation. At that critical moment, the German Naval Air Force came over, expelled the torpedo plane, followed by a few planes, and even dropped life jackets and lifebuoys, which allowed them to persist until they were rescued.

Bruce was already in a state of exhaustion when he was fished aboard the Deutschland, and in the face of this interrogation by the Germans, Bruce told the truth.

From the perspective of the British high-level, the order they issued was not wrong. After all, once they were captured by the Germans, their secrets would definitely be leaked. However, as a client, Bruce could not accept the fate of his abandoned son.

He, who traveled thousands of miles from the United States to the United Kingdom, was treated like this! Who is he fighting for? It's so ridiculous that he was betrayed by the man of his allegiance!

"I also have a plane that I bought in a private name, on a cargo ship, and sank with the cargo ship," Bruce said.

"After that, are you willing to be a witness for this in court, in front of reporters?" said his interrogator, and the atmosphere was quite friendly at this time.

"Of course I do," Bruce said.

"Okay, then our conversation is over." The other party stretched out his hand: "After landing, we can send you back to the United States, or you can choose to stay in Germany."

The other party's attitude made Bruce even more certain of his ideals: "So, can I apply to join the German Air Force?"

Bruce's words made the other party stunned for a moment. Obviously, no one would realize that Bruce would think this way. As a person who helped the United Kingdom, now he wants to join the German Air Force?

"About your application, I can respond to my superiors, please wait." The other party said.

Now, of course, I can't believe the British-Americans in front of me. If the other party applies, Germany will agree. It won't take long for MI5 to even know what Cyric eats in the morning.

Of course, if the sincerity of the other party is verified, it is a good idea!

The Deutsches sailed on the sea. Now there are more British people on the warship. The warship needs to return to Germany. At this time, everyone on the warship did not realize that a brutal naval battle was waiting for him. .

Warships are huge, but the sea is even bigger. In the vast sea, it is very difficult to find a warship or a group of fleets, especially in World War II when the radar is still immature.

However, the whereabouts of the Deutsche was leaked.

The sea area of ​​the sailor who fell into the water was certain, and when the Deutschland came, it was already exposed. It picked up other sailors, and then returned to Germany at full speed, which attracted the attention of the British. .

The last time in Scapa Flow, the British Navy was disgraced, and now, it just gave them a chance!

The battleship Deutschland of the German Navy is right in front of their eyes. They will have ample opportunities to sink the Deutschland, and this warship named after Germany, sunk by the British Navy, will be a great blow to the Germans. Morale!

This is also the case in history. Because of the fear that the Deutsche was sunk and affected morale, after the war, the Deutsov was renamed the Lützow. After that, the warship persisted until the end of World War II.

But now, the Deutsche has not changed its name!

Captain Stanger, the captain of the navy, was listening to the news one by one in the bridge.

"Our radar detected several suspicious echoes on our right, thirty nautical miles," an officer reported to Stanger.

Now, radar is the most widely used device in the German Navy. With continuous improvement, its reliability is also constantly improving. For example, it is now possible to stably detect the sea.

There are a few suspicious echoes, it seems that the British are eyeing it!

"Telegram to the fleet that we are on our way back to Germany, note, Class C communications," Colonel Stanger said.

C-level communication is the communication with the lowest level of confidentiality, and it is only better than plain-text communication. The highest specification is A-level communication, which has used Germany's most advanced frequency hopping technology, which will not be disturbed or decrypted.

This telegram, of course, was sent to the British.

Tell the British that you are here, come here quickly!

Colonel Stanger is simply playing with fire. In fact, this tightrope walk is precisely a tactic carefully formulated by the Navy before.

Of course, it is not enough to just raid Scapa Flow. Germany must completely gain sea power in the Atlantic Ocean, that is, to completely knock down the British navy.

The second surprise attack is impossible, because the British Navy has made adequate preparations, and another air attack will cause great casualties. At the same time, this is also because the Luftwaffe has been mobilized to participate in combat operations against France. Only the navy itself, the scale is not as big as before.

Therefore, the German Navy must find an opportunity to attract the British Navy to take the bait and kill them on the ocean!

This time, it is a good opportunity!

The telegram sounded, and soon, on an aircraft carrier of the British naval fleet thirty nautical miles away, British Admiral John Tovey was standing on the bridge at this time.

The German navy at this time didn't even know that thirty nautical miles away from them was actually an aircraft carrier formation of the British navy! The flagship of the center is the British aircraft carrier HMS Athletics.

The British Navy has made up its mind to sink German warships to wash away their shame! And now, it is to take the Deutsche!

"We have intercepted the telegram from the German warship. This German warship is the Deutschland." Captain Onslow said to Admiral Tovey.
