Although the splash of the coffin gradually subsided, the anxiety in everyone's hearts could not be calmed for a while. At this moment, it was not only Cheng Hao and his party who were flustered, but Lu Teyansi in the distant ocean was far less calm than he showed.

Putting down the binoculars in his hand, Lütjens sighed, looked at Andreas with a sad face on the side and asked, "Still no news from Tirbitz?" ”

Andreas shook his head and replied in a hoarse voice, "Your Excellency, Commander, so far we have not received any news about the Tirpitz...... You said...... Will it be ......"

"Even if the Tirbitz remains radio-silent, the absence of news at this time is good news for us, at least it means that they haven't encountered the worst yet," replied in a flat voice. ”

Andreas suddenly realized that after the detachment operation, it was no longer the Bismarck that was in danger, but the Tirpitz, who went alone to the depths of the ocean as a bait.

Compared to the Bismarck and the Altmark, which were protected by six submarines and a heavy cruiser, the Tirpitz would be the best target for the British to vent their anger.

But could the British fleet, which had been tracked on the basis of the fuel leaked by the Bismarck in the Battle of Denmark, really catch up with the 30-knots Tirpitz again? You know, the operation of the Tirpitz was completely unexpectedly for the British fleet......

"If the action goes well, the British battleships that are now looking for the German fleet in the ocean will all rush to the place of the incident, like sharks smelling blood, and the Tirpitz, with its high speed, has long since left, and then rendezvous with us, and at last we will return to port without incident." Lutyans clenched the bridge with both hands, looked at the rough Atlantic Ocean, but said with an oath.

I don't know, these words are comforting Andreas or comforting myself......

In order to continue the operation of breaking diplomatic relations, Lütjans sent six submarines out early, and at this moment only the remaining six Type VIIB submarines still escorted the Bismarck, but the ability of Type VIIB submarines to adapt to ocean-going operations and the bomb load of 14 torpedoes per ship made Lütjans confident that he would give a fatal blow to any enemy who dared to peep at the Bismarck.

After explaining to Andreas, who was nervous on the side, Lütjans looked at Bismarck with interest and said, "After all, when parting, Cheng Hao told me a thousand times, please take care of you...... Miss Bismarck......"

After speaking, Lütjens laughed, and Bismarck, who had already blushed, glared at Lütjens and said, "Your Excellency, commander, now... It's wartime, and these words, can ... Can I save that for later? ”

Bismarck, who had a somewhat rigid personality, could not stand Lütjans's jokes, turned his already blushing face to one side, and ignored the crew members who were heathing on the side.

Looking at the endless sea, Bismarck subconsciously bit his lip, and prayed in his heart, "I must return safely, Captain......"

Just as the crew was immersed in laughter, a crew member who was on duty in the radio room ran over in a panic and said in a hurried voice, "Your Excellency, Commander, just now, Captain Hans didn't feel the fluctuations of Altmark!" ”

"What!" The first to react was not Rütjens, but Bismarck, who could barely stand, and she asked loudly in a trembling voice, "What does it mean not to feel fluctuations!" Are you saying it again? ”

Bismarck's heart was disturbed for a moment, and when he reacted to the hull itself, there was a violent shaking, and the Prinz Eugen on the side witnessed this situation with his own eyes, and Admiral Mutter Brinkmann, as the captain of the ship, hurriedly issued an order to the crew, "Immediately send a flag to inquire about the situation of the Bismarck." ”

"What the hell is going on...... agitated Brinkman put down the chart in his hand and looked in the direction of the Bismarck......

At this moment, the U-47 submarine captain Gott. Prion also observed the strangeness of the Bismarck through the periscope, put down the lunch that had become a little cold in his hand, and muttered to himself, "At this time...... Could it be that something unusual happened on the Bismarck? ”

But the U-47, who remained silent on the radio, could only ask the Bismarck about what had happened through the flag.

The entire German fleet, because of a flag from Artmark, was in a panic......

With Bismarck's restlessness, the whole battleship trembled, and the herald, who was barely standing, looked at the girl in front of him, handed the telegram in his hand to Bismarck with trembling hands, and explained to the two in a trembling voice: "Your Excellency, Commander, Miss Bismarck, just a few minutes ago, a flag suddenly came from the Altmark, and after our decipherment, it was to the effect that Captain Hans had suddenly lost Miss Al's fluctuating ...... a few minutes ago."

Seeing that Bismarck, who was not alarmed, became panicked, Lütjans on the side hurriedly asked, "The information about the cargo ship was obtained from Hood's mouth, right?" ”

Andreas on the side hurriedly replied affirmatively, "Yes, Your Excellency Commander." ”

"Bring Cole and Hood over at once!" Lütjans shouted at him, and the officer who was already dumbfounded on the side ordered.

The crew, who was shaken by the sudden shaking of the battleship, quickly jumped up, saluted Ruetjans, and trotted all the way to the confinement room where Cole and Hood were being held.

At this moment, Bismarck, who is a martial spirit, understands, "There is only one reason why the contractor can't feel the fluctuation of the martial spirit, that is, the martial spirit has been attacked by an unbearable attack and fell into a coma, but Al is just facing an ordinary cargo ship at the moment, how can he encounter the enemy in a simple battle?" ”

According to the information provided by Hood, the Black Pearl was protected by no escort fleet, an ordinary cargo ship......

"Could it be that the Tirpitz encountered the Q ship?"

The Q ship is a camouflaged submarine hunter of the British Navy. Outwardly, it was indistinguishable from an ordinary merchant ship, but it was equipped with large-caliber artillery and anti-submarine bombs, and some were also equipped with torpedoes.

Its crew are all volunteers, from the Royal Navy Reserve or the merchant fleet. During the First World War, the Royal Navy was armed with more than 180 Q ships of all kinds. According to statistics, from July 1915 to November 1918, these Q ships sank a total of 11 German submarines and damaged at least 60 of them......

When Hans lost Al Fluctuation, it meant that his captain's side was unexpected, but ......

"But the grapes are battleships...... How could it be ......"

The bad news for a while made Bismarck subconsciously set his eyes on the calm Ruthyans on the side.

Facing the girl's helpless eyes, Lütjans could only comfort, "Bismarck, don't be too nervous, even if the Tirpitz encounters the British fleet, with the power of the Tirpitz, at least there will be a chance to send a telegram." ”

"We've only received the news that we've lost contact with Altmark, and we haven't received any telegrams from the Tirpitz, and ......," Ruttejens sneered as he stared at Hood and the others who were being escorted over.

"If they can't give me a reasonable explanation, I will never let them go!"
