My Third Empire

Biquge www.wuxiaspot.com, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!

Where is the water colder than the North Atlantic? The answer is the Arctic Ocean. There is colder sea water and worse sea conditions, and any equipment that seems to be frozen here will have to be frozen into ice. This is a sea of ​​ice and a world of cold ice.

Leaning on the mast and the folded periscope, Prion looked at the cold sea and smoked quietly. Although it is already May, the sea water near the Arctic still makes people feel no trace of warmth. He did not want to die in this environment, and he missed the North Atlantic that made him mythical.

Large blocks of ice drift across the water from time to time, and even farther away you can see huge icebergs moving little by little with the current. Puli ’s assistants were using binoculars to alert the surroundings. Two sailors in trench coats stood beside the 88-mm cannon installed in front of the submarine, talking softly.

When the Atlantic Ocean was no longer full of cargo ships heading to the UK, and when the immortal British Empire navy shrunk in Canada and no longer easily came out to challenge the German navy, many German submarines began to do nothing. They have no way to sink hundreds of thousands of tons of British transport ships, nor can they venture to challenge the British convoy.

So the old days of drinking and eating meat became cramped, and the originally dark life of submarine officers and soldiers became even darker. Wandering in the Atlantic Ocean for ten days, I couldn't find a target. The route between Iceland and Canada was full of patrolled anti-submarine ships and aircraft. It was not a good hunting place. The German submarine force buried 5 submarines and hundreds Submarine officers and soldiers can only use this conclusion to comfort those heroes lying on the seabed.

The route between the United States, Canada and Iceland is too dangerous. Most areas are within the range of road-based aircraft. There are many long-range patrol aircraft in the United States. Their frequent dispatches almost cover the sky. The German high seas fleet went south because they did not want to compete with rival roadbed fighters, and the German submarine force also reduced its operational mission to block Iceland.

Hundreds of ocean-going submarines are after all war resources and deadly weapons. After summing up his combat experience, Dunnitz immediately dispatched his own wolves. This time he no longer went to Iceland to hunt, but went to the Soviet waters to hunt down the Soviet fleet that threatened the Norwegian coast.

Prien still remembers what Dunnitz told him when he ordered him to go to the North Sea ten days ago: "Prin, the battle in the Atlantic Ocean has no way to continue. We are wasting personnel and precious diesel. It is not cost-effective to complete a small number of harassment tasks. "

"So I now order you to go to the Arctic Circle theater and use Norway as a base to attack Soviet ships. There is a paradise for submarine warfare. When you get there, you will continue the glory of the North Atlantic."

4 Soviet-class battleships lead the team, 17 cruisers and 53 destroyers, the Soviet main fleet is indeed an attractive fat, many German submarine captains want to bite the fat. And here is indeed a new hunting ground, full of backward and original that can be developed.

The Soviet transport ships in droves did not have any anti-submarine experience. They continued to send supplies from the United States to the western front along their own routes. A lot of ammunition and medicine, a whole ship of soldiers and their weapons, even aid trucks and motorcycles.

When there are only sheep on the grassland, it is really an intoxicating and tranquil picture, but one day a group of hungry wolves broke into this picture, then the style of painting immediately turned from the idyllic landscape into the sea of ​​hell.

After the German submarine sank more than 300 Soviet transport ships of various models near the long northern coastline of the Soviet Union, these Soviet ships finally learned how to be human. They no longer dared to get close to the northwestern waters of the Soviet Union. Most ships unloaded their cargo halfway and returned to the safer Far East.

Prien has sunk a total of 20 transport ships of various models here. Large ships have about 2,000 tons, and small ones may have as little as 300 tons. Like a pirate, he rammed into a boat and sunk the boat with an 88mm cannon, saving torpedoes to deal with the ship.

In order to obtain as many records as possible, the submarine will rob some specific targets in most cases. This is a dangerous activity, because you can't tell whether it is an armed anti-submarine ship disguised as a transport ship. The only difference between the two is whether two large-caliber guns are temporarily installed on this ship.

The British side has more advanced technology. Some large transport ships with more than 8,000 tons have been equipped with catapults and aircraft equipped with deep-water bombs. When they encountered a submarine attack, they ejected the plane and drove away the submarine. Compared with the loss of a large transport ship, the loss of a plane is almost negligible compared to the loss of a large transport ship.

Of course, the transport ships on the Soviet Union had no time to install artillery to fight back, so the commanders of the German submarines were even more reckless. After all, good days are calculated by pinching your fingers. After the best days, you will be greeted by opponents who have learned so many times.

So one scene after another, six months ago, the Atlantic boss was commonplace, but now it has disappeared and appeared in the Soviet offshore. The submarine suddenly rushed out of the sea from the Soviet ship ’s side, then pointed at the opponent with the muzzle of the black hole, ordered the opponent to lay down their weapons with the horn, and then the German sailor with the gun rushed into the opponent ’s class A, robbing various eaters s things.

Submarine u-171 robbed a grain ship and called three other submarine wolves in the vicinity to divide their loot. Because of this robbery, they stayed at sea for an additional 14 days and obtained more sunk records.

The submarine u-92 was the biggest beneficiary of this robbery operation. The captain of this submarine was named Graer. He didn't even know that he could become a real rich man overnight. He captured a Soviet transport ship, which was originally going to Canada. This was one of the important links in the Soviet Union's introduction of British technical cooperation.

Well, to be honest, this Soviet transport ship contains a full 200 tons of gold, as well as precious metals with a market value of 50 million. The Germans even found a training plan and a list of personnel during the Soviet-German cooperation.

The submarine returned home with his spoils and caused a sensation when he arrived in Norway. Then they went to Wilhelmshaven and were received by the head of the empire Akado and the naval marshal Redell. They generously promised to distribute 20 tons of gold to the officers and soldiers on the u-92 submarine, and the remaining 20 tons of gold as a reward Distribute to all navy submarine forces.

Of course, all of this is now a thing of the past, and today's Arctic Ocean waters are also at risk. The Soviets dispatched all the navies they could find to respond to the German submarine crisis. They escorted their transport ships and deployed mines in some sea areas to interfere with the German submarine's operations.

Now even the ace commander Prione, who is in submarine warfare, does not dare to risk the plundering of Soviet merchant ships and transport ships, because just a week ago, the German submarine tragedy, which was extremely sad, lost a submarine. This German submarine surfaced and robbed a seemingly broken "transport ship". It turned out that it was an "armed cruiser" modified before World War I. Although it had only four old 152 mm caliber cannons, it dealt with a submarine. The 88mm gun is definitely more than enough. So the German submarine was sunk and 40 unfortunately survived crew members were sent to the Siberian labor camp.

Prian thought of this, holding a cigarette with his fingers and spit out a thick smoke. He did not know whether it was steam or the smoke of the cigarette. In fact, the conditions here are worse than those in the days when the British mainland was blocked. Without aircraft reconnaissance to provide the approximate location of the target, the wolves can only rely on their non-stop swimming.

Moreover, more transport ships in the Soviet Union are more than 1,000 tons to 2,000 tons of boats. Naturally, there is no fun for two torpedoes to sink large ships of 5000 tons or even 6000 tons. Sometimes German submarines have to give up some targets, because these targets are so small that it is not worth wasting torpedoes.

"Captain! It seems that there is a target on the port side!" The first officer lowered the high-power naval telescope and gently reminded Prien to find the target.

Prian immediately put the cigarette back in his mouth, grabbed the telescope hanging on his chest with both hands, and looked into the far side of the submarine's port. There really was a big ship there, and it looked really big.

"Preparing for battle! Check the valve and the door torsion bar and start diving!" Prien lowered his telescope and immediately issued a battle order. The sailor standing in Class A quickly opened the door under the foot and drilled into it. The interior of the submarine. After they closed their doors and tightened the closing torsion bar, the waves had flooded up and the hull of the entire submarine had sunk into the sea.

"Big guy! It seems to be a warship." The first officer opened the door under his feet. About a minute later, the bridge they were on was about to dive into the sea. They must also return to the boat as soon as possible. .

"Indeed, it should be a cruiser." Prien nodded. In fact, he felt that the other party should be bigger. Maybe it was a battleship. The waves rolled, and in just a short time, most of the body of the German submarine had disappeared on the sea.

Soon the submarine sank into the water, and Prion used the periscope to confirm the direction of the target again. The warship did not change its course. It was indeed heading towards where they were. It seemed that the opponent had not found a German submarine here. As for why it was not found, only Heaven knew.
