Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Just when Governor Lidderdale was at a loss, the captain of the Bismarck, Otto Ernst Lindemann, gave the order to open fire.

It is rumored that after the sinking of the Bismarck in the original time and space, only more than 100 of the 2,200 crew members survived, and one kitten survived. He was adopted by the British Navy destroyer HMS Cossack and named Oscar. As a result, the Cossack did not survive. It sank five months later. As a result, the kitten Oscar survived again and was taken aboard the Ark Royal aircraft carrier, where he was given a new nickname: Unsinkable Sam.

As a result, less than 20 days later, the aircraft carrier Ark Royal sank. As a result, the kitten Oscar survived again. Later, the destroyers HMS Legion and Bliksem he stayed on were sunk by the Germans in 1942 respectively. After that, they were destroyed again. No warship dared to adopt it.

Perhaps Oscar was a "warship killer". Would the Bismarck not have sunk if it had not been taken out to sea?

Of course, this is a joke. When the Bismarck was built, aircraft carriers were still heretics and attack aircraft had not become popular. Therefore, the designers' attitude towards air defense was dispensable. The equipped 37mm anti-aircraft guns could not provide intensive firepower at all. , like a 98k rifle, fully manually loaded, known as the "37mm hand-pulled machine".

As a result, even the "Swordfish", a torpedo bomber with a top speed of only 222 kilometers per hour, was unable to defend against it. It was hit by three torpedoes dropped by the opponent, one of which hit the stern of the ship, causing the Bismarck's rudder angle to collapse. Stuck at 15 degrees. In the end, it was attacked by the British fleet that caught up. It was hit by more than 400 artillery shells and sunk. It was a very miserable death.

However, compared to the Shinano, Bismarck still achieved a major result in the only battle (sinking the British flagship Hood), so it can be regarded as just having fun and dying.

At this time, Yannick's air defense performance against battleships had almost reached a harsh level. Today's Bismarck is not equipped with those almost useless 105mm anti-aircraft guns and the ridiculous 37mm twin anti-aircraft guns. Instead, it is equipped with three Ten twin-mounted Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft guns, in addition to twenty twin-mounted 20mm anti-aircraft guns.

"Boom, boom, boom!" As the order to fire was issued, the eight twin-mounted 380mm main guns manufactured by the Krupp family, the German military industry king, which carried the pride of the German arms industry, roared one after another, and the gun barrels sprayed out. The orange-red flames and the huge air pressure from the muzzle pressed out a wide shallow pit on the side of the ship. Under the huge recoil, the entire warship seemed to tremble, but the huge hull successfully buffered the Recoil. All those who witnessed this moment could not help but feel a deep sense of awe at this terrible man-made destructive power.

Lindemann said excitedly. "How spectacular! That's why I love battleships!"

The muzzle velocity of the Bismarck 380mm main gun was 820 meters/second. After 12 seconds, eight shells hit the top of the Gibraltar Fortress, breaking the boulders weighing several tens of kilograms into countless pieces, weighing tens of kilograms or hundreds of kilograms. Rocks were flying everywhere, all over the sky.

"Free fire for the fleet!" Lindemann ordered.

Suddenly, hundreds of naval guns of various calibers roared, and the shells hit the fortress like a meteor shower. The explosions were continuous and terrifying, and the entire fortress shook violently.

Governor Lidderdale's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He was so anxious that he circled around the command room like an ant on a hot pot. The reinforced concrete on the ceiling trembled from time to time, and then dust fell.

"Has London called me back?" This is the first time I have asked.

The adjutant shook his head. "Not yet, General."

Fleet H had just been destroyed, and the British had no time to support Gibraltar. Of course, even if they have ships to reinforce them, they may not be able to muster the courage to support them after seeing such a large fleet.

Governor Lidderdale murmured dejectedly. "This is only the fifth day. Today is the fifth day of the battle. The German army has not even suffered a single casualty. Just... tell me, what did I do wrong? Why did I end up like this?"

Looking at Lidderdale with dull eyes, the adjutant couldn't help but worry that he couldn't hold on and was going to collapse. "Compared to the Germans, our war thinking has lagged behind for at least twenty years. The Germans are not only ahead of us in tactical thinking, they also have new and powerful weapons, and I think they have plans and steps. The earth is at war with us, unlike us who always think of preparations after the battle has begun.

But now is not the time to discuss these things. This fortress cannot withstand several rounds of shelling. We must make a decision. "

Seeing Governor Lidderdale's confused look, the adjutant coughed slightly. "The Germans always treat prisoners well, what do you think? General?"

When the European Combined Fleet fired the sixth round of artillery shells, a white flag stretched out from the firing hole on the other side of the fortress.

Manstein looked at the shocked group of British prisoners of war walking in a long line with his back on his back. Suddenly he raised his hand and pointed at the British officer wearing the rank of general in the team, and gave instructions to the guard next to him. "Bring over the Governor of Gibraltar."

"Is this guy clamoring to kill 200,000 of us? I really don't know where he got the confidence?" Manstein also had a look of contempt on his face.

Two guards escorted Liddell to Manstein, and both parties reported their identities to each other. Liddell raised his chin slightly, trying his best to maintain his dignity, and spoke. "General Manstein, I hope you can abide by the provisions of Article 4 of the Geneva Convention on prisoners of war and ensure our personal safety."

Manstein nodded. "Of course our army will abide by the agreement. You don't have to worry about your future life as a prisoner of war, Your Majesty the Governor. As for the specific details, I will arrange for my adjutant to negotiate with you specifically, and he will make specific arrangements for you. After all, you are considered acquaintances. ."

"Your Excellency Governor Lidderdale, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon." The adjutant said the word "so soon" with a strong emphasis on purpose. Seeing the governor's face turn from white to red, from red to purple, and finally turned the color of pig's liver, he felt extremely happy.

Ignoring Lidderdale's resentful look, Manstein ordered his men to escort Lidderdale back to the prisoner of war team.

Soon, Arias' passionate speech came from the Spanish radio station. "Gibraltar, which has been occupied by the British as a colony since 1704, today with the help of our German friends, our Spanish flag is flying again!"

The world was shocked when the Spanish government issued a declaration of victory to regain the Gibraltar Peninsula.

France and Italy sent congratulatory messages first, and other German slave countries also sent congratulations one after another.
