On the night of March 13, the German Admiralty, the Imperial Crown Prince Qin Tian and the Admiralty Chancellor, Count Tirpitz, all remained here. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info They are all waiting for news from the submarine U-037.

"Your Royal Highness, count the time, Lieutenant Colonel Dönitz and they have already arrived in Scapa Bay, right? But will they be able to slip into the heavily defended Scapa Bay? Marshal Count Tirpitz was still a little unconfident in this. In his opinion, such a battle plan is too risky.

"Well, it's almost time. As for whether they can successfully infiltrate Scapa Bay, it depends on Lieutenant Colonel Dönitz's performance, which is already God's will. This battle plan is indeed very risky. However, if they can succeed, it will surely bring us a major victory. Qin Tian said. A submarine carrying a torpedo would dive into Scapa Bay and fire torpedoes at the warships moored at the docks. Even if it is not possible to sink the battleship of the British Navy, it should still be no problem to inflict heavy damage. In this way, the German Navy will gain a greater advantage in the next decisive battle.

As for whether Lieutenant Colonel Dönitz can succeed, Qin Tian doesn't know. He knew that at the beginning of World War II, a German submarine had managed to do it. Lieutenant Colonel Dönitz's ability is beyond doubt. The U-200 submarine will not be worse in performance than the U-boat of the World War II era. What's more, the underwater defenses of the British in Scarpa Bay will not be stronger than they were during World War II. In this way, Lieutenant Colonel Dönitz's U-037 submarine is still very likely to succeed.

In addition, Dönitz was also a well-known person in another time and space, that was the commander of the submarine forces of the Third Reich, and even after Raeder, he served as a marshal of the Navy and became the head of the Navy of the Third Reich. His personal ability is naturally very outstanding. Therefore, Qin Tian also believed that he would not be so short-lived and die in Scapa Bay.

"Your Highness, I hope they succeed. If they manage to sneak into Scapa Gulf and damage one or two of the British Navy's capital ships, it will be a great victory. Marshal Count Tirpitz said with a smile.

"Your Excellency, if they succeed, I think their results will be much more than that. After all, if a submarine attacks a battleship moored at the dock, the hit rate is almost nine times out of ten. Qin Tian said with a smile.

In the casual conversation between Qin Tian and Marshal Count Tirpitz, time passed slowly. Soon, it was dawn. But there was still no news coming, which made Qin Tian and Marshal Count Tirpitz even more anxious.

"Your Highness, our intelligence agencies have been mobilized in full force, and I believe that news will come soon." Marshal Count Tirpitz said.

"Well, maybe Dönitz and the others are still hiding from the pursuit of the British, so they haven't been able to send back the message in time. This may be good news. Only if the British suffered heavy losses would they go after Lieutenant Colonel Dönitz frantically. Qin Tian said.

Qin Tian guessed correctly, now Lieutenant Colonel Dönitz and the submarine U-037 are indeed evading the pursuit of British destroyers. By the time they evacuated Scapa Bay, they were running out of battery and could no longer continue their dive. So, the submarine U-037 had to venture to the surface and charge the submarine with a diesel engine.

However, before their electricity was fully charged, they were met with a British destroyer. As a result, the U-037 submarine had to urgently dive to evade.

However, the tragedy is that the British destroyer seems to have spotted the submarine U-037, and after frantically catching up, it immediately began to drop depth charges. This forced the U-037 submarine to dive as far as possible to avoid the depth charges.

The destroyers of the British Navy, after wreaking havoc for a long time, left. The submarine U-037 escaped the catastrophe. If the British destroyers continue to attack and dive, maybe they will really be sunk.

After resurfacing, the submarine U-037 began to return home. It's just that, in order to evade the destroyers of the British, they have already run far away. The radio station carried by the submarine was also damaged, so that they could not report the specific situation to the country, so they could only find a way to return home first. This is also the reason why neither the Admiralty nor Qin Tian were able to receive the news in time.

Germany's intelligence agencies have been in full swing since March 14 to gather intelligence on Scarpa Bay. Last night Scapa Bay was blazing with explosions, and naturally it was impossible to hide from the people who lived nearby. Scapa Flow, as the home port of the British Navy's Grand Fleet, was naturally the focus of German intelligence.

In the afternoon of the same day, German intelligence agencies learned about it. Scapa Bay was attacked by German submarines last night, and five battleships of the British Navy's Grand Fleet anchored here suffered heavy damage.

"Your Highness, Lieutenant Colonel Dönitz, they succeeded. Heavily damaged five battleships of the British Navy, including even elite battleships such as the battleships "Warweary" and "Warrior". In the next naval battle, we won it. Marshal Count Tirpitz smiled.

"Although we were not able to sink the capital ships of the British, it was good to be able to inflict heavy damage on them. At least, in the next decisive battle, those five battleships could not participate. This will allow us to further improve our advantages. In the next big battle, our chances of winning will be even greater! Qin Tian was also very happy.

"Still, is there any news of Lieutenant Colonel Dönitz?" Qin Tian asked.

"Your Highness, not yet. However, I am confident that they will return safely. Marshal Count Tirpitz said.

Qin Tian nodded and didn't say anything more.

As long as Lieutenant Colonel Dönitz and their U-037 submarine are not sunk, they will be able to return. Qin Tian also had a lot of confidence in them.

It is known that on the evening of March 16, Lieutenant Colonel Dönitz and the submarine U-037 returned to Wilhelmshamn.

When their submarine sailed into Wilhelmshaven, all the warships honked their horns to welcome them. Qin Tian, the Earl of Tirpitz, and the commander of the High Seas Fleet, Reinhardt, who got the news, came from Berlin on purpose. Admiral Scheer and Chief of Staff Franz? Feng? Lieutenant General Hipper, all went to the dock to welcome them.

There is no doubt that Lieutenant Commander Dönitz, who infiltrated Scapa Bay alone and severely damaged five Royal Navy battleships, and the entire crew of submarine U-037 have now become heroes of all of Germany.

Lieutenant Colonel Dönitz was later promoted to Captain of the Navy.
