My Third Empire

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

The Scarpa Bay Naval Base is the anchor of the British Royal Navy ’s main fleet on the British Isles and is located in the Orkney Islands north of Scotland. This location is precisely where the German maritime transportation line enters and exits the North Sea, and is of extremely important strategic significance.

There is no doubt that the base often has some very attractive targets for German submarines. The British main fleet has many battleships entering and leaving here, such as the well-known battleship USS Hood and the battleship Royal Oak. Once docked here.

But just like other indestructible strongholds, Scarpa Bay was heavily guarded, and the British army stationed a large number of troops here to defend. On the coast defense, there are hundreds of large-caliber artillery, and there are also dense air defense firepower.

And at sea, especially against possible submarine attacks. During World War I, the Ub-116 submarine commanded by Ummsman had infiltrated Skapa Bay in October 1918, but was sunk by a lightning strike and all the crew members were killed. This operation convinced all senior British naval officials that any attempt to break through Scarpa Bay was absolutely impossible.

But God is a **** who doesn't like to brag about human beings, so anyone who brags and settles his mind has no good ending. For example, all ships called Never Sink, such as the first voyage of Titanic and the first battle of Bismarck, are not very good in the end. The same examples include Pearl Harbor, which the Americans consider impeccable, and the French Marcino Line, which the French consider impeccable ...

In the words of Akado's admonishment to the commander of the submarine force, Dunnitz, any attacker "needs the most bold and aggressive initiative, and requires extraordinary courage and superb technology." So the Germans are going to be surprised this time. Even if they are facing not only the Royal Navy, which is heavily defended, but also a strong current that cannot be predicted in advance, its power is enough to cause the submarine to deviate from the predetermined course and fall into a dangerous situation.

Akado has been secretly researching a raid with Dunnitz. Both of them want to try to dive a German submarine into the waters of Scarpa Bay and give the Royal Navy a heavy blow, so that the British will count Within a year, they lost their advantage and fell flat.

The reason why the head of state attached so much importance to a tactical attack is not as superficial as Dennitz, because Akado wants to use a successful attack to hide the killing trick he really holds in his hand.

In the naval battle off the Netherlands, Akado had already confirmed the outcome as early as 1937. Although the German navy lacked the courage to decisively defer victory to the beginning of 1938, Akado had already prepared for the victory.

One of the followers is how to make people forget this victory. This follow-up plan can be said to be an important step for Akado to disrupt the rise of maritime forces in various countries. Akado actually has many fears in his heart, one of which is the fear of the destruction of the United States' production capacity without interference.

If American industry is allowed to run at full speed, Germany may still be able to contend with one or two without interference, but if the British blockade is added and dragged down, Germany will only return to the old path of defeat.

The geographical advantage of the United States cannot be changed, and Germany cannot threaten the continental United States for a while-this is a very modest statement. In fact, Akado also knows not to threaten the continental United States. He now even takes a look at the East Coast There is no strength.

On the other hand, once the powerful American industry is in operation, Germany must face the threat of ten or even twenty US aircraft carriers. Akado did not want to show the United States the right path to develop the navy so early. He hoped that this mystery would be uncovered as late as possible, so that the United States Navy would be caught off guard.

German steel is limited. The battle with France and Belgium has disrupted German steel imports. The existing reserves are not enough for Germany to open up its hands, arms, and air forces. Although Arcado, under the great pressure of the Navy, rejected the plan to build battleships and heavy cruisers, but the steel saved was only enough for him to produce 7 aircraft carriers. In other words, if only the original navy resources were used, his current navy would almost reach its end.

Therefore, it is necessary to build a strong navy before the Americans react, a navy enough to dominate the Atlantic, and an elite marine force centered on the aircraft carrier. In this way, even if the United States enters the terror stage of mass production of aircraft carriers in the later period, it can rely on the accumulated family to ensure that the Atlantic defense barriers are foolproof.

So how can British and American navy generals not notice the German carrier fleet? How to let the Royal Navy, who has been hurt, turn its attention away from the German aircraft carrier fleet? Akado decided to create another miracle to conceal his own true intentions.

How can one make one forget the pain of a broken finger? The answer is very simple, that is to find a way to cut off one of his arms! Driven by this idea, Akado drew this plan with Dennitz as early as the invasion of Poland in 1937. The purpose of this plan is to use a splendid victory of the submarine to divert the attention of the world navy to the aircraft carrier and let them turn their attention to the "real secret weapon-submarine".

The German Navy Intelligence Department has made a lot of preparations for this, and through the German Air Force and some submarines patrolling the sea, the merchant ships that passed here before the war, and the pervasive spy department have collected some intelligence information about Scarpa Bay. On September 11, 1937, just before the war with Poland, an improved seaplane of the German Air Force managed to take some clear pictures of the base; on September 13 of the same year, the u-patrol patrolling the waters near Scarpa Bay Submarine 216 also ventured close to Scarpa Bay and brought back some valuable reports.

After careful study of the above information, the German Navy Submarine Forces Command concluded that it was necessary to attack at night, because the water flow on the seabed was slower at that time. The next question is to determine who will perform the attack task.

Now we all know that this candidate is Prien, the one who is now commanding the submarine to be dumbfounded in Scarpa Bay. It was indeed stunned, because in front of him, a huge fleet that he had never seen in his life was parked.

How big is this fleet? Including the four aircraft carriers of the Royal Ark, Brave, Glory and Athletics, there are as many as 5 battleships, gathering the vengeance, monarchy, Duke of York, Queen Elizabeth and Barram, other cruisers It was so numerous that the destroyer could not see the end at a glance.

This may be the largest fleet in human history. If you count the Operation Rainbow in the German high seas fleet near here, almost half of the warships built by humans are collected here.

The problem now facing Prien is not not to find a target, but too many targets he can't decide which one to attack. His submarine can fire 6 torpedoes in one breath, with 2 rounds after the first 4 rounds. In order to ensure the destruction of his target, he also needs to ensure that several torpedoes attack one target at the same time.

This was too embarrassing for Prien, so he looked around on the water and found a position he thought was the perfect attack. Then he was determined to play an addictive game, and then drilled back into the submarine himself, and came to the former torpedo launcher. There he was anxious about almost all his crew and started to arrange tasks.

In order to get as many results as possible, he found a few ropes and hung these ropes on the ceiling of his submarine. Then, with the help of these ropes, he used the principle of leverage to let his crew hold the torpedo in front of the torpedo compartment door. Dressing.

"In a while I will launch three of the four torpedoes in the front, and then you will immediately fill the two torpedoes in the lower position, and then I will salvo another target. Then you have about 10 minutes to shoot the two The torpedo launch module is refilled. "Prien arranged for his crew.

He said while explaining: "When you are loading, I will turn the submarine and shoot the torpedo at the tail! Then I will turn the bow again and attack the fourth target. After finishing these torpedoes, we will retreat."

"Is there a problem?" Finally he asked, looking up.

Dozens of eyes stared at him, and his eyes were full of reverence. They knew that when the attack was halfway through, the British would return to God to find them. Those destroyers would quickly block the entire port, and their chances of escaping to heaven were negligible.

"No problem! Captain!" The torpedo mechanics smiled and said: "Relax! We will let the British know that our German submarine is great."

Prien bowed deeply: "You are the best soldiers of the empire! Don't die today! Friends are invincible in the world!"

"The world is invincible!" Everyone shouted, pressing their voices.

Prion aimed at a huge outline with the faint light, judging from the mouth of the wheel that this should be a British aircraft carrier. It looks like there are at least 20,000 tons. And not far from this aircraft carrier, there is also a huge battleship docked, which is the main reason why Prian chose to attack here first.

"Aim at the target!" Prion put his eyes on the sight, focused on his target, and gave the first order gently.

"The torpedo is ready!" The torpedo operator replied.

"Boat torpedo tubes No. 1, 3, 4 are ready!" Prian continued.

"Torpedoes 1, 3, and 4!" The torpedo operator responded.

"Launch!" Prien gave his first attack order loudly today.

"Fire!" The torpedo operator pressed the button to fire the torpedo.

"Boom!" Everyone in the boat heard the sound of the submarine launching a torpedo. With the tremor and noise, three torpedoes sprayed out of the front of the submarine u-211 with bubbles, under the dark night, Quickly swim towards their goal.
