Chapter 152: The Past of Warm Harbor (1)
Pointing to the Arctic and Pacific theaters on the map, Nuremberg said:
"This is the Pacific Theater and the Arctic Ocean Theater, and it is also the boundary line of the northern defense line of the known sea area, and beyond these two theaters is the unknown sea area, and the North Sea is north of the Arctic Ocean Theater. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Li Ran looked at the Arctic Ocean Theater and the Pacific Theater, the two theaters did not form a complete border, but the Pacific Theater had a small protruding and narrow sea area, which could just enter the unknown sea area without passing through the Arctic Ocean Theater in the north, he was a little strange:
"What is the reason for this narrow stretch of sea in the Pacific Ocean?"
Nuremberg, as the mother of the Free Ship, had traveled all over the world with Hindenburg before meeting Tirbitz, and had the good fortune to visit a warm harbor, and when she saw that everyone was puzzled, she explained:
"This is the North Sea Maritime Corridor, and the two theaters enter the North Sea through this corridor, because the northern part of the Arctic Ocean is covered with ice floes and icebergs, and it is basically impossible to conduct maritime operations, and there is a large area of no man's land, with 12-level gales blowing all year round, so the Arctic Ocean Theater has always become an insurmountable barrier in the deep sea on the northern route of the known sea area.
And this North Sea Maritime Corridor because of the perennial warm ocean currents flowing through the seabed, there is the only ice-free port in the far north [Warm Harbor], and it is also the northernmost ice-free port in the known sea area. ”
"Although this route does not freeze all year round, I can't think of what is the significance of entering the North Sea?" Li Ran frowned and expressed his doubts.
"It's true that the north is barren, except for some precious mink wool, bear skin, snow lotus, etc., no one will go all the way to that bitter cold place to suffer, but don't you wonder why the two war zones have deployed so many town guards near this warm port?"
Nuremberg also knows that people often think that the north is bitter cold, especially in the seven major theaters, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Arctic Ocean theater is the weakest, but if you really underestimate the Arctic Ocean theater, it would be a big mistake, she looked at the basic Hindenburg who had no reaction to hearing what she said, and everyone else seemed to agree with Li Ran's point of view, and after she asked, she continued:
"Also, the North Sea is one of the main offensive areas of the northern deep-sea habitat, have you seen it, after this North Sea sea corridor goes out, that piece is the deep-sea habitat. ”
"What you are saying is that this sea corridor is the entrance and exit of the northern deep-sea invasion?" Li Ran understood a little, but he thought about it, what does this have to do with the Beihai where Beizhai went, there is no word Beihai on the map at all, he asked suspiciously:
"But you say so much, and there is no sign of the North Sea on the map?"
Nuremberg also knew that Li Ran would definitely ask this question, she thought for a moment and then said:
"Because, the North Sea is north of the northern deep-sea habitat, that is, north of the Arctic Ocean, the far north, and don't look at so many northern habitats, in fact, I have been there, but it is only because of the lack of development and exploration efforts, which has led to an over-exaggeration of the area of the northern deep-sea habitat.
In fact, there are many dangerous passages in this deep-sea habitat that even the deep-sea fleet does not set foot on, and the way into the real North Sea is in these dangerous passages, and I think Tirpitz ventured into the depths of the North Sea through these dangerous passages. ”
"However, since the North Sea is so dangerous, why does Tirpitz's character still go?" Li Ran felt incredible, but he heard Nuremberg inadvertently reveal that the Black Cross mercenary group was stationed in the Atlantic theater, and looking at the map, he was going to the North Sea, not to mention the two war zones, just this nearly 10,000-mile voyage, it was difficult for him to imagine why Tirpitz, who was a housemaid, made up his mind to go to the North Sea.
"Think it's incredible?" said Nuremberg, who sighed, looked at Bismarck deeply, and then recounted the past of the warm harbor:
"You should all know that Erbitz dropped out of the First Ship Girl Academy a few months ago, when I happened to be on a trip to Warm Harbor, and I met ......her a few days later."
……
The time goes back to more than three months ago.
"Are you really leaving?" Inside the First Ship Niang Academy, Hood was holding two ginger and fish cakes, these were her beloved two cats, and looked at Tirpitz in front of her, who was Bismarck's sister, and sighed:
"Is your sister's whereabouts really that important? Maybe she hasn't woken up yet?"
"Hood, don't ask, Oscar is in your care, my sister must not be dead yet, I'm going to the North Sea to find the lost ice diamond. ”
"You want to use memory contracts?" Hood looked shocked.
"Well, only through the memory contract can I determine whether my sister has sunk or not, although I have not been in my sister's port area, but my sister has not written from me for a year since that letter, and I am not at ease. ”
Since Tirpitz knew that her sister's port area was captured by the deep sea, her temperament has changed dramatically since then, and she is no longer the lazy otaku girl she used to be, but has slowly become the strongest battleship girl in the First Ship Niang Academy, and even the Viceroy's Missouri praises her as a well-deserved [Lonely Queen of the North].
"Alright then, I don't like your sister, but I'll take care of Oscar. Hood was blunt about his likes and dislikes.
"Then I'm leaving. ”
Tirbitz handed Oscar to Hood, and with a swing of his trench coat, he disappeared into the night.
"Walking at night, worthy of being the lonely queen of the north, is the North Sea really a place of fate?" Hood watched the door slowly close, blocking her gaze at Tirpitz, she looked at Oscar and seemed to be in a low mood, and couldn't help but sigh:
"Rival, life is really boring without you. ”
……
Tirpitz left the Starway Islands alone, taking advantage of the darkness of the night, and then she headed for the warm harbor to the north.
Finally, half a month later, she arrived at Warm Harbor, and here, she met Nuremberg at the special tavern of the ship's mother, and in that memory, she took care of the nanny who grew up.
"Tirpitz?" Nuremberg and Hindenburg were drinking high-intensity gasoline, which was a special drink for the ship's mother, because the ordinary oil in this place was frozen, and only this high-intensity gasoline could replenish their fuel supply, and the rest was easy to say, that is, the oil was too expensive, but this place could ensure that the oil was sufficient, and the shipwives could fight as usual.
"Sister Nuremberg?" Tirbitz was stunned for a moment, memory could not be wrong, she could not have imagined that she and her sister had been talking about how good it would be if Nuremberg had been in correspondence all these years, it was at that time that she refused her sister's invitation to admiral, and had not gone to her sister's port, and now she saw Nuremberg, and she remembered the earnest mood in her sister's book when she exchanged letters with her sister, and she couldn't help clenching her fists, and regretting in her heart:
If only I had listened to my sister, if only I hadn't been so willful, sister, don't go! I'm strong now, no matter where you are, I will find you, even if I step on the ice of the North Sea, I will find the lost ice diamond.
"Tirpitz, what's wrong with you, why is your face so bad?" Nuremberg had been traveling all over the world, and she actually knew that Tirpitz was looking for her, but she knew that Tirpitz had grown up and had her sister to take care of, and she asked with concern:
"Isn't it that I'm running out of fuel, it's not easy to come here, by the way, who do you guess I've found in the past few years?"
"Nuremberg, today I have taught a good lesson to those deep-sea fleets who have come to spread the wilderness again, this is my commission, I will invite you to a delicious meal in the evening!"
Hindenburg was in a good mood today, escorting a group of maritime merchants who were going to return to the Arctic Ocean Theater from Warm Harbor, met some deep-sea fleets in the North Sea Maritime Corridor, made a lot of money, opened the door, but saw the dress similar to Bismarck, she was stunned for a moment:
"Bismarck?"
Tirpitz heard the voice of the shipwive a little unfamiliar, but she recognized herself as her sister, and she turned her head and said with a blank face:
"I'm the second battleship of the Bismarck-class, Tirpitz, and you know my sister?"
"What, I thought it was Bismarck, wait, you say you're Tirpitz?"
"That's right. Tirpitz frowned, then sat aside and ordered a glass of wine, this tavern is only allowed to enter by the ship's mother, the bartender is a nameless ship's mother, codenamed 265D, is a heavy cruiser mother, she heard these shipwives with the soul and name of the warship, and said enviously:
"It's an honor that you're the lonely queen of the North. ”
"Don't call me that, just call me Beizhai, have a cup of high-intensity fuel. Tirpitz didn't mean to look down on the sisters, she just nodded, and then placed several hundred-dollar ocean bills on the table.
"Please wait. "The 265D heavy cruiser took the money and went to pour the wine.
Hindenburg has always been in the warm harbor activities, this time I met Nuremberg unexpectedly, and I also knew her plan to tour the world, so I thought about returning to the Pacific theater with Nuremberg this time, and now seeing that Tirpitz is not at all what Nuremberg said, she whispered a question:
"Nuremberg, she's the Tirpitz you take care of?"
"Yes, she has grown up, and now she is the [Lonely Queen of the North]. Nuremberg looked at the slightly thin back, looking a little lonely at this time, she had traveled around the world for so long, and she had also heard about the fall of Bismarck's port district because of the disappearance of the Admiral, and since then, the flagship killer has not been heard from, and when she heard the name of "The Lonely Queen of the North", she roughly understood that Bismarck might have sunk, sighed and said:
"But what is she doing here?"
"I don't know, by the way, why didn't I see Bismarck? Isn't that guy a sister?" Hindenburg has been living in Warm Harbor since he woke up, and he has not heard much of those southern stories.
"Don't say it. Nuremberg, noticeably noticing the faint trembling of Tirpitz's body, sighed:
"You go back first, I have something to say to Tirpitz. ”
"Okay. Hindenburg drank the high gasoline on the table, tightened his cloak, and turned out of the ship's tavern.
Nuren thought for a moment, walked over to Tirpitz, and said to the 265D heavy cruiser:
"Don't give her that shoddy wine, serve the best, and count me for the extra money. ”
"Nuremberg ......" 265D heavy cruiser mother almost blurted out, she nodded.
"Thank you. Tirpitz was clearly lacking in interest, even if he was surrounded by the nanny who had a childhood memory, and at this time Beizhai's heart could not hold anything except her sister's whereabouts.
