Battle of the Third Reich

The second person who climbed down the vertical ladder was the commander-in-chief of the German navy. Rydell was still as agile as he was when he was young. The old seaman had boarded many submarines in his life, but he was also the new model of u1001. This is the first time. $f. $f

Redel looked around curiously, and at the same sight he saw the navy chef holding a spoon in front of the electric stove. Rader trembles and raised the Field Marshal's staff in return. He was surprised that someone would stay on the boat and did not attend the parade.

"My head, this is the kitchen of the submarine. The area you see now is the cooking area." Redell tried to distract Xu Jun's attention.

"Well, Blomfoss is very careful about the treatment of this cabin. This large range hood and four-burner electric stove are still recommended by me. How is it actually used? This..." Xu Jun pointed at the chef Asked.

"Bububu...Sergeant Broome, Your Excellency, I am the cook on this submarine." The cook finally put down the spoon in his hand, and he reported to Xu Jun with his chest excited.

"You haven't answered my question, Sergeant."

"Sorry, my head, these things are great, very easy to use, my head, I don’t know how to express my excitement now, I never expected to stand in front of you one day, I mean , I can see a great person like you with my own eyes, God... My head is a little dizzy..." The chef shuddered with excitement, expressing his excitement and respect for Xu Jun incoherently.

"Why is this guy here?" Riddle whispered frowningly and asked Captain Heink, who had just descended into the boat.

"Sergeant Bruce is the best submarine chef I have ever seen. He used to be a chef at the Four Seasons Hotel in Munich for two years. He is also a very good pastry chef. I let him stay on the boat to prepare cold drinks and desserts for the head of state. You must have not tasted the pudding and ice cream he made, it tastes simply..." Heinke explained to Ryder respectfully, and the result was heard by Weierle behind him.

"You mean ice cream? Ice cream can also be made on this submarine?" Weyler was very surprised. He once visited a submarine that was about to sail out, and he was impressed by the hard bread and cured meat that filled the corners of the cabin. Very deep.

"You have a cold storage under this deck under your feet, which can store fresh meat and vegetables and fruits that were difficult to insure in the past. Of course, there is a full set of ice making devices that can make ice cream and other cold drinks." Xu Jun turned his head and smiled at Wei Erle said.

"Yes, my head, we no longer have to pile large amounts of food in the cabin. Our food store is enough to hold fish, shrimp, meat and fruits and vegetables for three weeks for the crew. Of course, we also carry some preserved food and canned food. , Are stored in the free room in the cold storage deck. I can guarantee that this submarine is the cleanest and most tidy submarine in the entire German submarine force. We have to conduct a comprehensive cleaning and sweeping once a week. The sailors also cherish what they have now. Environment." Heinke replied loudly.

This is the world's first submarine with a cold storage, and there is only one large refrigerator on the French diving cruiser. The cold storage does have a need to exist, not just to satisfy the sailor's appetite.

In the original history, the German submarine was completely suppressed by the counter-potential of the Allied forces. Every time it floated, it took a great risk. The submarines avoided the long-term exposure on the water as much as possible, but some situations could not be avoided. Sea supply has become a nightmare for many submarine captains.

In order to ensure the speed of supply, the submarine must maintain a relatively short distance from the supply ship. At this time, the submarine was extremely fragile, and there was almost no effort to fight back in the event of an attack. Especially when supplying ammunition and food, the equipment at that time was poor. The sampan can only be used to sail back and forth between the supply ships. At this time, the submarine can only be moored on the sea surface. At this time, if it encounters an attack, it is difficult to achieve even if you want to dive in an emergency.

Therefore, in order to avoid similar dangers, the submarine can only be filled with supplies as much as possible to increase the submarine's self-sustaining time. So each submarine has become a mobile kiosk, tons of cured meat and cans fill all the corners of the submarine, fresh ingredients will be consumed in a week, followed by the canned cured meat and various hairy flour Products.

Now, a cold storage can greatly reduce the pressure in this area. And fresh food can ensure that the sailors can have strong morale and combat power for a long time. Xu Jun is even more insightful in this respect. He not only retained the original cold storage in the original design, but also expanded the volume of this setting. Anyway, this submarine has enough redundant space to splurge. Xu Jun increased the hull by ten meters.

"I like pudding and ice cream very much. Sergeant, what are you doing now?" Xu Jun asked the cook with a smile.

"Boiled chocolate sauce, used for pouring on pudding, my head, this is the American cocoa this year. I also put fresh milk and a little coconut juice in it." The chef reported to the head happy.

"Then..." Weyler pointed to the cured pork hanging under the cupboard.

"This is the main dish tonight, creamy potatoes with hessian marinated pork trotters." The chef reverently answered the army general's questions. Although he didn't know the face of this one, it would certainly be important to stand behind the head of state. character.

"Continue to work, sergeant, I look forward to your work." Xu Jun patted the sergeant's arm, then turned his head and said to Heinke. "Let's continue to visit your submarine, it's a little crowded here." There are now two marshals and a general standing in this kitchen, plus two adjutants, a captain and a cook.

"Please go here, my head." The captain quickly led the way for Xu Jun. He was ready to invite the head to visit the submarine's command module, combat and navigation control center.

"We have two periscopes, one is responsible for attacking and the other is conducting reconnaissance observations." Heinke walked to the center of the command module. At this time, the deputy captain and four non-commissioned officers were already standing in the command module. They were from the top of the control tower. The submarine entered at the hatch of the ship, following the command of the captain, is here waiting to answer the head’s inquiry at any time.

"At some point, I used an attacking periscope in the upper command tower to command the battle. But in most cases..." Heinke gestured to the deputy captain, and the other party quickly pressed a switch on the control panel With a slight hum of the hydraulic pump, a periscope slowly rose along the central periscope to protect the well. Heinke opened the folding handles on both sides of the lens to show Xu Jun this brand new precision instrument.

"We use this reconnaissance observation periscope in the command module. Like the attack periscope, it can be directly connected to the shooting computer. I only need to follow the observation data. Set the distance and the other party's course, press the line of sight against the target, the torpedo computer It can automatically calculate the shooting parameters needed for launching." Xu Jun held the handle of the periscope and looked inward in front of the eyepiece. The huge tail of the Bismarck was tightly blocked in front of the camera.

"So, are there any problems in the actual operation." Xu Jun let go of the periscope and turned his head to ask Heinke. He gestured to Weiller and asked him to come and see.

"We have conducted many underwater drills. No problems have been found. Blomforth is very concerned about this submarine. During the sea trials, their engineers have been following us. At least for the moment I have not found any. What a big problem, sometimes there will be some minor problems, you know, after all, this ship is very new, the sailors are not fully familiar with her habits, if you can give me another month or two..."

"There is not so much time for you. This boat has passed the final acceptance. You will be transferred to the overseas mission within a week." Xu Jun interrupted Heinke and walked to the chart table to carry his hand Look at the chart in front.

"You will get a written order soon. Your destination will be here..." Xu Jun pulled the folding table lamp at the top and moved the beam of light to an area on the large scale world chart.

"Really? My head?" Heinke asked in surprise. He thought that the submarine would have to toss for a few more months before the precious prototype boat was allowed to join the real battle.

"U1001 needs to be tested for long-distance navigation, and there are a series of seaworthiness tests in special seas to see if she can meet our requirements. We need one that can be deployed to any corner of the earth at any time and can be used in any environment. With normal weapons, I have full confidence in u1001. I believe she will not let me down." Xu Jun said to Heinke with a serious expression.

"This is the plan of the headquarters. It must be taken seriously." Redell had never heard of this plan at all, but out of trust in Xu Jun, plus some flattering meaning, he did not hesitate for Xu Jun Endorse the remarks.

"Incorporate u1001 into the formation c. Let Lieutenant Colonel Kirsten be responsible for the corresponding preparations. Is time still enough?" Xu Jun turned to ask Weiler.

"It's too late. The C formation needs another week to assemble and replenish. I think u1001 can start early with the leader."

"Then set it up first, Marshal, I hope the navy can complete the preparation and supply of u1001 as soon as possible. I want to see her performance in the tropical sea area as soon as possible." Xu Jun walked slowly to the waterproof door beside the command cabin . This submarine was designed and manufactured under his supervision. He knows more about this submarine than Heink.

"Let's go to the torpedo cabin to see, and then go to visit the power room." Xu Jun lowered his head and bent down to drill through the circular waterproof door and walked into the work area on the side.

Next to the command module is the working compartment of the submarine. A separate cabin is separated on both sides of the hull. The first cabin on the left is the cabin of the captain. In order to quickly enter the combat position, the cabin is not equipped with a hatch, but only a folding curtain. Covering the small private space of the captain.

The first room on the right is the infirmary on the boat. Xu Jun expanded the volume of this room on the drawings. Now an operating table can be placed inside, and there is also a hatch at the bottom of the operating table, which can be entered along the straight ladder to the bottom deck. There is set up a medicine store and a refrigerator to store important medicines and preparation tools.

The naval submarine force has always been powerless in terms of medical support. The main reason is that the internal space is small, the personnel are too dense, the diet is single, and the nutrition is insufficient. The soldiers can only rely on oral vitamins and strong constitution to resist the virus, especially in case of When the limb was injured, there was no clean operation space on the boat. u1001 has completely ended this tragic history, the submarine crew will get the most timely and careful treatment in the medical room.

Next to the infirmary is the telecommunications room. This is the communication center for the entire submarine. The Navy is equipped with a conventional full-range remote communication system. The most critical equipment is the latest model of the cipher machine. The Naval Intelligence Bureau has confirmed that the original naval code has been leaked. The British seized the codebook on the German merchant ship requisitioned by the navy. Fortunately, Xu Jun issued a warning in time so that the navy could not be damaged by this leak.

The improved version of this Enigma code is so complicated that it can be called a madman. With the continuous replacement of keys and the use of a one-time password table, the enemy now wants to decipher the German password is an impossible task.

Opposite the telecommunications room is the listening room. In addition to the original full set of underwater listening equipment, this submarine was also equipped with an active sonar seized from the Royal Navy. Similar products have been researched and developed in Germany. This sonar is installed on the u1001 as a tactical experimental device. In addition to passively calculating the enemy's position, this submarine can also conduct active searches. In terms of accuracy, British products do show his high-end.

Germany started relatively late in this respect, and has not yet been able to produce excellent domestic products, but Xu Jun has produced key technical information and a part of the sketches, which should be able to quickly fill these technical gaps. The German Navy had many unique insights into the research of sonar in its original history, and the later development models even surpassed Allied equipment. Xu Jun is ready to push these projects forward, and at least within one year will be able to come up with a complete product that can be put into combat.

Further forward are rows of soldiers and officers' cabins. The difference between the two is that officers have personal lighting and more storage space. Due to the ample internal space of the u1001, the sailors have obtained a living environment that their peers have never dreamed of. Two or four bunk beds are placed in the cabins on each side, and a folding table is set between the beds for soldiers to dine. use. There is also an upright storage cabinet at the partition of the cabin, which is divided into four compartments, and each soldier can be divided into one compartment to house his personal belongings and clothing.

Xu Jun went all the way to watch flowers, he was quite satisfied with the setting and decoration of cabins. Blomforth didn't dare to make any tricks on the materials. All wood panelling and furniture are made of fine hardwood, and the cabin still exudes a fragrance of wood. All bunk beds are equipped with stainless steel guardrails to prevent personal injury when the boat is rocking. There is also a bathroom close to the torpedo cabin, a row of four wash basins plus a shower room, which is an unimaginable luxury on other submarines, but this dream has been realized on the u1001 with enough space capacity. .

Xu Jun slowly walked along the aisle and finally reached the torpedo compartment of the bow of the submarine of this submarine. Due to improved living conditions, the bow torpedo compartment no longer leaves space for soldiers to rest, and all space is used to house torpedoes. Only an aisle was left in the middle to allow soldiers to pass. This submarine can carry twenty-three torpedoes at a time. As in the historical version, eight torpedoes are placed on each of the inclined torpedo racks, and one is placed under the middle floor. The remaining six are pre-filled in the torpedo tube, the total number is exactly 23.

Like the xxi type, a new type of hydraulic loading system is used here. Under the control of a skilled soldier, a torpedo can be filled in two minutes. This means that as long as the submarine is properly tactical, it can continuously launch attacks. The twenty-three torpedoes were wiped out in one go.

Xu Jun had a few words with Torpedo Chang and asked questions about the use. The final answer made him very satisfied.

A group of people, led by Xu Jun, began to turn around and walk back. He wanted to see the submarine's power cabin again. The current endurance of the u1001 has exceeded 30% of the historical version, and the endurance when submerged is also improved by half. In the low-speed stealth mode using silent mode, she can even sail under the sea for three days without floating charge. This is attributed to the huge battery storage in the battery compartment under the floor of the bilge. The battery pack on this submarine is four times that of the ordinary submarine. It is a veritable electric submarine.

This submarine has two six-cylinder high-power marine diesel engines produced by man company. In this respect, German technology is at the forefront of the world. There is no doubt at all. Behind the power cabin is the motor compartment, which is the soul of this submarine. In addition to two ssw high-speed motors, this electric submarine has two more silent motors than ordinary submarines, which can propel this submarine with 5 knots. Speed ​​sneaks quietly underwater. Xu Jun asked the chief engineer in power. The crude old sailor was amazed by the submarine's power performance, and said that if the Navy agreed, he would stay on the ship until he finally retired.

Xu Jun finally ended his visit to this submarine with satisfaction, and he was invited by the captain to go to the command cabin to enjoy a cold drink. Bloom's craftsmanship is indeed as good as Heinke described. Xu Jun was very happy to kill a whole cup of ice cream and two chocolate puddings.

At the end of the happy time, Xu Jun still had a bunch of business affairs to wait for him to deal with. Before leaving, Xu Jun suddenly had a good idea. He picked up a pen on the chart table and pulled out a blank document from the side Paper, write a message in smooth and beautiful script, and then sign your name underneath.

Xu Jun handed the paper to Captain Heinke. "This is my personal gift to this submarine, I hope you will like it."

Heinke looked down at the paper and saw that there were two lines written on it, “By the will of God, we are fearless. For the motherland, move forward bravely. Reinhardt von Steide.”

Sorry for the late update today, mainly because some things are delayed at home, but this chapter is full of weight.

In the end, it is still the old rules. Please cast your monthly ticket to this book. At the end of the month, if you don't vote this thing, it will expire. (To be continued.)
