Slowly pushed open the door of the conference room, Cheng Hao led Bismarck and walked in resolutely, in addition to Sebastian as the first mate, there were other officers, after nodding to all the soldiers present, Cheng Hao pulled Bismarck to sit on the main seat, cleared his throat, looked at the young officers who were doing it after a circle, and said, "Maybe you don't know who I am, I'll introduce myself first, I'm Cheng Hao, Bismarck's captain, On the orders of the commander, Admiral Lütjans, to temporarily take over the battleship Tirpitz, do you have any objections? ”

Sitting next to Sebastian were Captain Wayne, the bearded chief engineer, and Reinhardt, who was the second officer. Lieutenant Colonel Sickett, after hearing Cheng Hao's words, both of them hurriedly waved their hands, and seeing that their leading boss had no opinions, other middle-level officers did not dare to have any objections, and expressed their resolute support for Cheng Hao's leadership.

What kind of joke, I heard that it was the young officer in front of him who suggested that the Tirpitz be transferred to participate in this operation, and this order was directly issued by the Führer, under Sebastian's warning and hints, the officers who were still a little puzzled naturally did not dare to slack off, and put away their contempt.

Looking at the quiet conference room, Cheng Hao also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid of being despised because of his age and military rank, it seemed that there was no need for this kind of worry, Cheng Hao did not know that the real reason for the admiration of the officers at this time was not because of Lütjans's order or the telegram sent by the Führer to Sebastian himself, but under Lütjans's decentralization, Cheng Hao, who brilliantly commanded the Danish naval battle and sank two British large warships, showed his excellent command ability, And this point is naturally easy to be admired by officers and soldiers.

"Then I'll just say a few words." Cheng Hao coughed lightly, pulled the nautical chart in front of him and said, "At this moment, the German ships are headed by the heavy cruiser Prince Eugen, Bismarck and Tirpitz surround Altmark in the middle, and the U-boats are lurking in formation around and heading towards the depths of the Atlantic. ”

"I believe that all of you here think that the target of our trip is British merchant ships, yes, it is also our helpless move at present to force Britain to surrender by encircling and annihilating Britain's maritime lifeline, but we have already killed the battlecruiser HMS Hood, which is the glory of the "British Empire", and sank the two battleships HMS Prince of Wales, which have just been commissioned! ”

"As for the fact that the behemoth of the Hood can be killed with one shot, because of the ammunition depot, it is inseparable from Bismarck's excellent operation, but it is more about their backward design concept, and the thin skin and big stuffing are easy to detonate, after all, it has been staged three times in the Battle of Jutland, isn't it? Of course, this also has something to do with their design concept, the British cruiser was originally designed to attack the cruiser and avoid the battleship, with such a design idea, it is no wonder that the horizontal armor of the Hood will be so weak, but can we relax there? Will the British let us eat the lifeline they depend on at ease? ”

Looking at the contemplative crowd around him, Cheng Hao smiled with satisfaction, continuing to talk about the sinking of Hood on such an occasion is not to immerse them in the fantasy of Bismarck's invincibility, not any kind of weapon in the world

Perfect, and if you want to gain an advantage on the battlefield, it is inseparable from the development of the science and technology tree, and at this moment, Cheng Hao wants to implant a thought in their minds that they will be beaten if they are backward!

In this way, Bismarck and Tirpitz's renovation plan will go more smoothly after returning home......

Sebastian, who knocked on his seat, asked suspiciously, "Your Excellency, do you mean that in the vast Atlantic, the British fleet is still large and is rushing towards us in all directions?" ”

Looking at the officers around him, Cheng Hao, who had a serious expression and did not panic at all, nodded with satisfaction, cleared his throat and continued, "We also confirmed this news in the mouth of the captured captain of the Hood, Colonel Hans, it is conceivable that once we continue to stretch in, what awaits us will be a tragic battle in the history of the navy, so His Excellency the Commander has already reported this information to the Berlin side, and it is estimated that we will bypass the British encirclement from this direction and advance towards France, do you have any objections?" ”

Everyone in the room shook their heads and said, "Your Excellency, there is no problem. Except for a middle-aged uncle with a thick beard sitting on Sebastian's right hand, the other officers agreed with this point of view, and the whole conference room was silent at the moment, Cheng Hao looked at the middle-aged uncle who did not speak and frowned, from this person's epaulette, it can be seen that he should be the chief engineer of the Tirpitz.

Just as Cheng Hao was about to say something, Sebastian on the side hurriedly shouted, "Wayne! Didn't you, you drunkard, tell you that you can't drink in wartime? Are you stealing brandy again? ”

Wayne, who is only in his thirties but has a beard that looks like a man in his fifties, although he usually even drinks a lot of wine and goes to sail, but he has to admit that there is nothing wrong with his skills, so he was not removed by Sebastian.

Wayne, who was called by Sebastian's words, squinted his eyes, and finally sobered up a little, looking at the serious colleagues around him, Cheng Hao, who was sitting in the first place with an expressionless face, and the girl standing behind him finally reacted, and hurriedly stood up, raised his right arm 45 degrees, put his fingers together and moved forward, and drunkenly shouted "Hi, Leonie!" ”

At this moment, the originally serious meeting was broken by Wayne's simple salute, and all the officers, including Cheng Hao, had to stand up, and Cheng Hao, who gave a military salute, glared at the second lieutenant helplessly, but this move also made the depressing meeting a lot more relaxed.

Sebastian, who was embarrassed on the side, whispered to Chen Hao: "Your Excellency, Captain, this is the case, Wayne's father is a member of the Second German Reich Navy, and he once won a knight's Iron Cross!" Died in the Battle of Jutland...... Wayne then joined the Imperial Navy, where he was a skilled maintainer and was now the chief engineer of the Tirpitz. ”

Looking at Wayne, who was a little embarrassed, Cheng Hao nodded, and said solemnly to Wayne, "Drinking is prohibited in combat readiness!" Do you understand? ”

"Understood, Captain...... Wayne's somewhat cloudy eyes revealed an inexplicable sadness, and after glancing at Bismarck standing behind Cheng Hao, he hurriedly replied.
