"What did this man say?" Peter glanced at the shivering soldier, "What did you just start?" ”

"Hey, man, ignore him." Another soldier walked over, patted Peter on the shoulder and said, "He's crazy, you understand?" ”

"Crazy? Why? How can a good person go crazy? Peter wondered.

"I don't know. Two days ago he was fine, and even managed to slip onto a small passenger ship disguised as a soldier from other units, but half a day later someone found him on the beach. The soldier shrugged his shoulders, "He wasn't like this when they first found him, but when he was asked why he went crazy when he came back, he kept muttering something in his mouth, but no one understood." Hey, then again, this was the first word of English he had spoken since he went crazy. ”

"That's ......"

"Anyway, you'd better stay away from him - hell knows if a madman is contagious, haha!" The soldier laughed, then waved to Peter and the others, and left with his tea.

"Weirdo...... Peter and the others also shook their heads and chuckled to the side.

But the "madman" in the soldier's mouth suddenly spoke again.

“U…… U-boat!” He curled up together.

Peter stopped, looked at the man suspiciously, and asked, "What?" ”

“U-boat！ That's a U-boat! The madman suddenly looked up and stared at Peter.

The panic in his eyes was so intense that Peter couldn't help but think of a man he had once met.

The man he had seen in the field hospital, and according to the doctors, a 155mm shell had exploded less than 5 meters from the man's side. Although he escaped the shrapnel because he was squatting in a shallow pit with his head in his hands, he was thrown into the sky by the violent shock wave generated by the explosion and then fell back to the ground, resulting in multiple internal bleeding in his body.

And now the madman in Peter's eyes looked exactly like the man he had ever seen!

“U-boat？” Peter reflexively walked back and crouched down with a frown, "German U-boat? ”

"Right...... To ......" the man kept nodding, "German, German!" ”

"Hey! Hey! Buddy! Peter put down the cup in his hand, and gently patted the man's shoulder with his free hand and comforted, "Relax, relax buddy." ”

"No, no, no...... No! Something in the depths of the man's memory seemed to be hooked again, and he shook off the cup in his hand, let the hot water spill on himself, and ignored it, just holding his head in his hands and saying bitterly.

But after a while he raised his head again, looked at Peter twice, and then suddenly reached out to him, tearing Peter's life jacket.

"Hey! What are you doing? Peter hurriedly pushed the man's hand away, and it was then that Peter noticed that the man was not wearing a life jacket.

"Don't you have a life jacket? Then you can't rob me! Peter said as he pointed to the bow of the boat, "There must be more at the bow of the boat, right?" You can pick up one for yourself! ”

"No, no!" The man shook his head, trying to pounce on him and tear Peter's life jacket, while his mouth kept saying, "You can't wear a life jacket!" No life jackets! Life jackets are not allowed!! ”

"What are you doing?" Peter was furious, and he pushed the man to the ground, "What a madman you are?!" ”

"You can't wear a life jacket! U-boat！ Germany, U-boat! The man fell to the ground and tried to crawl over and continue tearing.

"Listen! Listen to me! Peter kept backing away, "I don't care if there are any U-boats or not, and I don't care what happened to you. But you have to know that this one we are on is not a passenger liner - it is a frigate, and it is designed to deal with submarines! And there are several more ships like it around! So you can rest assured that they will not dare to do anything to us with a hundred dares from the Germans under the sea! ”

Then Peter took his cup from the ground and left without looking back.

"Haha! Man, how did you mess with that madman? "You should stay away from him, even if you're a psychiatrist, hahaha!" Along the way, there were constantly people watching the excitement and mocking Peter.

I was crazy to talk to a madman, and Peter shook his head to blame himself. What a shame, he thought to himself.

At the same time, inside the bridge of the K11 frigate, Major Finch was holding a cup of black tea and constantly looking around at the sea.

"Mr. Captain, aren't you going to take a break?" The first mate on duty held the steering wheel with both hands, looked at Finch with concern, and said, "You have been busy all day today, why don't you go down and sleep, and when we wake up tomorrow morning, we will return to the mainland." ”

"No!" Finch shook his head and refused, "The weather is really bad tonight, the visibility on the sea is too low, and there are frequent German submarine attacks in this area, so I have to stay here to feel at ease." ”

"Mr. Captain, you're worrying too much." The first mate smiled when he heard this, "Most of the German submarines attacked passenger ships and lone minesweepers, but we are and frigates!" And with us three frigates and two minesweepers - even God wouldn't dare to attack us in submarines, right? ”

"Don't be careless, there's nothing the Germans don't dare to do." Finch still didn't relax, on the contrary, he was more vigilant, "I always have a bad premonition. ”

After thinking about it, he summoned a communications soldier with a solemn expression and ordered: "Go outside the bridge, use the searchlight to signal the other ships, and let them turn on the hydrophones!" ”

"Yes! Sir! The Messenger saluted, then quickly ran out of the bridge and used his searchlight to send Finch's words out.

Soon, replies from the other ships came back, with the light signal of the K14 frigate being one long, one short, one long and one short (Morse code, which stands for the letter "C", and "C" for "YES" in Q simplified language).

And the other four ships all played one long, one short and three long, which means "NO".

In other words, with the exception of the K14 frigate, which agreed, the other four ships rejected Finch's request.

"Damn it!" Finch angrily slapped the cup on the table.

Because the hydrophone cannot be used for a long time, it has to be turned off for cooling every time it is used, and now there are only two ships that are used in rotation, and it is impossible to have a hydrophone working all the time.

"Are these people idiots? So arrogant?! ”

"Relax Captain." The first mate still smiled indifferently, "Maybe the sailor in charge of the hydrophone is resting?" Or forget it. ”

"No! Can't count! Finch wasn't going to give up, "Two ships are two ships!" Let's enable it first! ”
