The Atlantic Upper Eugene, accompanied by the destroyer USS Fury, is slowly moving across the Atlantic.

It's not a big risk, but it's not a bad idea to say no.

While crossing the Strait of Gibraltar, the inquiry from the British warship made the captain of the USS Fury, who was directing the transport, almost jump to his throat. But fortunately, in the face of Leksky's righteous words, the British warship, which had nothing to discover, could only be released.

In the vicinity of the Spanish seas, these capitalist countries were extremely wary of Soviet ships. This made Captain Leksky a little angry, and he was convinced that one day the great Soviets would sweep all these imperialism into the garbage heap.

And when you enter the Atlantic, it is immediately much easier. Without the obstruction of the warships of other countries, the two ships of the two ships sailed towards their destination Leningrad with all their might.

That's right, this time the sea route is from Valencia through the Strait of Gibraltar into the Atlantic, and then bypassing Britain into the Baltic Sea to reach Leningrad.

For the final choice of such a long path, it was also a helpless move for the Soviet Union. In fact, the route from Spain to the Black Sea via the Mediterranean Sea is the shortest (historically chosen route), but this line is under the threat of Romania. If the most stubborn anti-Soviet country had known that the shipment was gold, it would have been intercepted. So this route is not a first choice.

The only option was to take the Atlantic line, and in order to avoid the busiest English Channel, the Soviet Union deliberately chose to bypass the British Isles and not take the shipping lane.

So the destroyer Fury with the freighter Eugene could only make a big circle and return to the Soviet Union.

There is nothing to see in the sea view, and on the endless sea, the officers and men of the Soviet Navy are also talking and laughing and busy with their own business.

Until suddenly I heard a squeaking sound from the engine. As the most experienced wheel commander, he secretly said that it was not good, and this was a case of engine overload. And the speed of the warship slowed down.

At this time, the phone in the engine room rang, and the chief engineer picked up the phone, and inside was the voice of the first mate on duty: "What's the matter?" How is the power of the ship decreasing? ”

"We're checking why." The chief engineer replied. At this time, the other engineers had also risen and gathered together.

"What's going on?"

Leksky, who was the captain of the ship, hurriedly asked, and the first mate immediately replied. "I just called the wheel commander and they're checking."

And after a while, the wheel chief reported that there was no problem with the engine, as if the propeller was entangled in something.

The results of the soldiers sent down to check on him made Leksky's heart feel a chill, and the propeller did not know where it was entangled in a fishing net.

"What now?"

The first mate, who heard the bad news, asked the captain Leksky about the solution. In fact, he himself knows what to do in such a situation, and the best thing to do is to send a professional ship to help. If you don't have a professional boat to help, you can only send someone to dive yourself to reduce the nets. But the work would take a few days, and they simply couldn't afford it.

Captain Leksky, who heard the first mate's inquiry, thought about it for a moment and said. "Send a telegram to the nearest Volga cruiser to us and ask them to come at once. In addition, let the Eugene continue sailing, and the Volga, which had come to meet them, was just ahead of their route. ”

After receiving the order from Captain Leksky, the first mate immediately went to give orders to the Eugene. In fact, Captain Leksky's order was right, because when he suffered an accident and could no longer sail, it was right to let the protection target leave immediately. Because it's useless for Eugene to stay here, it will only delay the time of transportation.

So after Leksky's order, the Eugene immediately broke away from the Fury and sailed along the established course.

Although the Eugene is temporarily out of protection, according to the speed of the ship, it will be able to meet the Volga by tomorrow afternoon.

But that's when all goes well. What if it doesn't go well.

In the sea not far from the Fury, a periscope stretched out, and every move of the Soviets was clearly seen. An officer was watching intently at the sea, judging by the uniform he was wearing. This is the uniform of the Romanian Navy.

Since there was a Romanian submarine here, the accident that happened to the Fury could not have been an accident, and it was.

I saw that the officer put away the periscope and instructed the dispatcher. "Send a telegram and tell them that the Eugene is currently sailing alone."

That's right, this time the destroyer Furious was entangled in a fishing net and the propeller was the work of the Romanian submarine forces. For this operation, Romania sent more than 20 submarines alone, not counting other warships. In fact, this is also very simple, as long as you put fishing nets on the Soviet waterways in advance, you can achieve satisfactory results. Of course, this time the Fury was entangled in the propeller, and it was not the first trap set by the Romanian submarine forces. In fact, the Fury and Eugene had missed several traps, but none of them had been able to step on them.

And this time the Fury got tangled in fishing nets, which is excellent news for the operation. Because of the lack of protection, the Eugene greatly reduced the chances of failure in this operation.

Of course, there are several possibilities prepared for this operation, there are Eugene entangled, two of them are entangled, and there are traps that fail. Either way, it was impossible for the Soviet Union to repatriate Spanish gold this time.

From this it can be seen that as World War II approached, Romania became more and more unscrupulous in its style of doing things.

…………

In the Atlantic, a fleet is sailing through the wind and waves.

If someone who knows something about the Navy comes to see it, he will be very surprised. Because this is the country to which the fleet belongs in the Black Sea, how did its warships run to the Atlantic, and this is still an incomparably powerful battleship.

That's right, this fleet is the task force under the command of Rear Admiral Midrafael. This trip to the Atlantic was also intended to be the last resort of the operation.

Major General Midrafael, as the commander, looked at the telegram he had just received from the staff officer in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Because there is a good chance that the last resort will not be used, this is good news for him.

"The submarine force has left its escort behind, and the next thing is to see if the action team can control the ship."

Major General Midrafael looked out the window at the seascape and fell into deep thought.
