Chapter 854
"Howard, if the Hughes company can be transferred to Europe, you can also get this title." Cyric turned his head and said to Howard.
Now, the headquarters of Hughes Company is still in the United States. After all, this is an authentic American company, and now, Cyric's words have deep meanings.
Bring American companies to Europe and become European companies. If there are no companies in the United States, there will be no employment, and without economic development, the United States will die.
Moreover, now that Germany has unified Europe, a unified Europe is not smaller than the domestic market of the United States, or even larger. After all, there are still such vast colonies.
Howard did not answer immediately: "Führer Cyric, please give us some time."
Cyric nodded: "This promise of mine is valid at any time."
In fact, after the integration of Europe, there are already many aircraft factories controlled by Germany. Coordinating these aircraft factories and increasing their production capacity is enough to meet the needs of Germany.
However, this is a psychological offensive, and if Hughes switches to the German camp, it will be a huge blow to the United States.
In any case, Hughes Company maintains close relations with Germany, and they have been branded with Germany.
Continuing to circle around the company, when Cyric was about to return, he received a report from the naval commander.
In the Pacific Ocean, an American transport ship was found, if it was sunk, please indicate!
After thinking for a while, Cyric nodded: "Sink!"
Compared with the Atlantic Ocean, which can be choppy at any time, the weather conditions in the Pacific Ocean are much better. Many times, the Pacific Ocean is calm.
The American transport ship Fox is a cargo ship with a displacement of more than 15,000 tons. At this time, this cargo ship is full of weapons and ammunition destined for the Middle East, including dozens of fighter jets and hundreds of tanks. .
Originally, the United States' support to the United Kingdom went through the Atlantic Ocean. As a result, the British mainland suddenly fell, and the sudden rise of Edward VIII made many people unable to recall it.
In this way, the support of the United States can only be changed in one way, from the Atlantic route to the Pacific Ocean.
The route was longer, and luckily there were few storms in the Pacific, so the cargo ship was at full power and headed into the wind at a maximum speed of 15 knots.
Standing on the bridge, the bearded captain Pete was a little anxious.
He has been running this route for many years, from a handsome young sailor to the old guy with a big belly and a dark body. He has been at sea for many years, and he has not been afraid of anything.
However, this time is different.
The Germans are so unscrupulous, the whole of Europe has fallen, and the goal of Germany is to rule the whole world! Now, the United States is strongly supporting George VI, which is also a kind of action.
So, will the Germans watch the US support the Middle East? Will they take any action?
Therefore, along the way, in addition to ensuring the safety of navigation, it is also necessary to prevent all kinds of accidents!
From the chimney behind, thick black smoke was constantly coming out. The three-stage reciprocating steam engine was working hard. The propeller pushed the sea water, stirring up countless waves, and countless noises spread far and wide with the sea water.
Just a few kilometers away from them, on the sea surface, a cylindrical thing, sliding the waves, inside, through a complex optical circuit, transferred to the bottom, and finally reflected in a person's eyes.
Otto Kreizmer, one of the most famous captains in Germany, now his eyes are full of light. Now, they have found the target and are waiting for the order to come!
Over the past few years, German technology has developed rapidly, and submarines are no exception.
A few years ago, the U-35 submarine commanded by Otto was still an ordinary old submarine with a displacement of just over a thousand tons. And now, he is commanding the latest XXI submarine in service. The displacement of this submarine has been enlarged to nearly 2,000 tons!
The huge displacement leads to a larger space in the boat, so that there are more places to store batteries, which makes the underwater endurance of the submarine better. At the same time, the space for personnel is also enlarged, making it easier to move around.
Compared with the old type of submarine, the biggest change of this type of submarine is that the bow of the boat has become a streamlined shape adapted to underwater, and the underwater speed exceeds that of the water. At the same time, there is an advanced torpedo loading device that can fill six torpedoes in 12 minutes, while an ordinary submarine takes more than ten minutes to load only one!
In fact, its biggest feature should have been to oxidize the seawater so that the submarine engine can work independently of the oxygen in the air, that is to say, the submarine can submerge underwater for a long time without surfacing. .
But there are still many problems with this technology, so it is still conventional power. Even so, the huge displacement and terrible endurance make it an ocean-going submarine, and it can even travel thousands of miles to the Pacific Ocean to fight guerrillas .
The blood transfusion of the United States to the Middle East, so that George VI can continue to persevere, is of course not in the interests of Germany, so it is important to cut off his shipping lines by sea.
However, until now, Germany still has no precedent for directly firing at the United States, and he is waiting for an order.
Finally, the telegraph operator came to him excitedly with the telegram: "Captain, Berlin has replied, we have permission to fire!"
"Attention, move forward three, the left rudder, prepare to seize the launch position, the No. 1 and No. 2 launch tubes, prepare to launch, set the depth to five, the highest speed!" Otto issued the battle order.
At this moment, everyone's blood is boiling.
Submarines are like underwater ghosts, maneuvering in the sea water. So far, the torpedo launch only has a higher hit rate when attacking the broadside, so they must seize the launch position on the side.
This action, they have long been well-trained.
After completing the maneuvers one by one, Otto's field of vision was filled with the appearance of the huge freighter, with the stars and stripes hanging high and the wind strong.
"Launch!" With Otto's order, two bangs appeared. It was the sound of high-pressure air ejecting the torpedo and the sea water pouring in. To deal with the cargo ship, ordinary torpedoes are enough.
Two electric torpedoes, separated by one second, left the launch tube one after another, and swam at full speed in the direction of the cargo ship that was sailing smoothly.
