Chapter 762 German Bombers (Plus 3)

What was shipped?

Lockheed, picked up a glass of whiskey, drank it, looked around, and finally, he couldn't control his mouth.

"Of course we are transporting valuable things. Tell you, this is a secret. It is the arms we transported to the UK!"

Arms destined for the UK? Immediately, Field understood: "Your captain, you are really bold! Don't you know? Now, except for the British transportation company, others do not dare to accept business from the United Kingdom at all. The Germans have hundreds of them. Submarines are waiting in the Atlantic Ocean! As long as they are transporting British goods, nine out of ten times they will be unlucky!"

Field is very clear that just last month, a merchant ship sank in the western waters of the United Kingdom. Later analysis showed that this merchant ship was a British ship transporting arms and was destroyed by the Germans.

"The Germans are so abhorrent, they even attacked civilian ships!"

"That's right, the Germans dared to attack our American ships!" In an instant, the bar became lively.

The Germans are fighting the merchant ships flying the British flag, and that's fine. After all, the United Kingdom and Germany are at war, but now, the United States is still neutral. In this case, even if its own ships transported arms to the United Kingdom, The Germans should not have been sunk either!

This is against international practice, and it seriously hurts the feelings of the American people. In their eyes, their country is powerful, but now, they are being treated savagely!

"Don't talk nonsense, I heard that the German agents are very powerful. If the news leaks out, maybe all of us here will be silenced!" At this moment, another voice appeared.

"Cruise, you coward! This is the land of our America, who dares to run wild on our land?" Field shouted.

"Yeah, and they silenced all of us here? How can the Americans silence them? They dare to use bombers to bomb us?"

Lockheed didn't speak, he poured the second glass of whiskey into his mouth.

"Forget it, I won't tell you, I have to go back." Lockheed was obviously worried, and he seemed to be afraid of something.

So, everyone laughed.

As sailors, they are all quite strong men with great courage. Now Lockheed, like a coward, was originally very sympathetic to Lockheed's experience, but now, they all look down on him.

What are you afraid of! In this bar, almost all sailors, at least five or six, have experience of sinking ships, don't you still continue to be sailors?

Lockheed walked out slowly, and at this moment, there was a roar in the sky.

Looking up, Lockheed's eyes were a little dazed. He looked at the plane in the sky, with four engines, and it flew from the east. In this era, there are not many passenger planes with four engines, while the Atlantic Ocean The No. 1 airliner is one of the best, covering the main routes from the American continent to Europe.

The Douglas company caught up, and on the basis of Douglas's DC-3, the DC-4 was transformed, and it became a huge monster with four engines, trying to compete with the Atlantic 1 airliner.

Unfortunately, there are still many problems to be solved for this kind of airliner. Its single engine has only 1450 horsepower, and the 1800 horsepower of the Atlantic airliner is too big. At the same time, its cockpit is not sealed!

Therefore, other airlines can only watch Hughes and Germany's Junkers occupy this vast market together. On the route from America to Europe, only the Atlantic 1 is competent.

In New York, cities on the east coast of the United States, there are flights every day, so it is not unusual to look up and see a passenger plane now.

However, Lockheed was still looking up at the sky, and he always felt something was wrong.

The paint of that passenger plane is not from the Hughes company? In particular, on the side of the fuselage, why is there a cross logo, still black?

Wait, isn't that a German bomber?

Thinking of this, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He woke up from the two glasses of wine he had just drank. At the same time, he saw an even more terrifying scene. Something appeared under the bomber, and the other party threw a bomb!

Damn it!

"Run, the German bomber, dropped the bomb!" Lockheed shouted loudly, and at this moment, he stepped up and wanted to leave here.

Since the end of the Civil War, the United States has always been quite safe. Even the last world war was only fought overseas. For Americans, their geographical location determines their psychological advantage.

And now, there are actually German bombers coming to bomb! This makes it difficult for many people to accept, or to say, without any defense.

The people in the bar did not listen to Lockheed's words, but shouted loudly, "Lockheit, have you been drinking too much?"

Then, the bomb's whereabouts, the unique and frightening sound finally came. At this time, all the people were anxious, they wanted to run out, but unfortunately, the bomb had already fallen before it came out. come down!

"boom!"

"boom!"

Five or six bombs fell from the sky and landed near the bar. The people in the bar were surprised to find that they were still intact. When they got up from the ground and rushed outside, they found that Lockheed had fallen. in a pool of blood.

A bomb exploded not far from him, the shrapnel cut open his stomach, his blood gurgled out, he fell to the ground, trying to push the intestines back again, his hands, It's all blood.

"Lockheit, Lockheit!" Field shouted loudly, and several people found a wooden board, carried Lockheit, and wanted to send him to a nearby hospital.

At this time, the bomber in the sky circled halfway and dropped the bomb again. This time, its target was the most famous sculpture near the mouth of the Hudson River on Liberty Island in the harbor!

The Statue of Liberty, whose full name is "Bronze Statue of Liberty National Monument", officially named "Liberty Shines the World", was built by France in 1876 to commemorate the centenary of the victory of the American Revolutionary War, October 28, 1886 bronze like completion.

The Statue of Liberty is dressed in ancient Greek-style clothing and wears a radiant crown with seven pinnacles symbolizing the seven continents. The right hand holds the torch of freedom, and the left hand holds the "Declaration of Independence"; under the feet are broken handcuffs, shackles and chains, symbolizing the freedom from the constraints of tyranny.

This sculpture is a symbol of the United States. For many years, the United States has praised this sculpture and is a symbol of the lofty ideals of the American people for democracy and freedom.

And now, that bomber has dropped bombs at this sculpture that the American people value most!
