The turquoise waters of the Baltic Sea shimmered dazzlingly in the sunlight, and the sharp bow of the German Navy Type 9A ocean-going submarine U37 easily split the deep emerald waters, and crossed the rushing crests of the waves. The water stirred up by the bow of the ship mixed with countless foams flew in the air like countless sparkling diamonds and pearls, and then poured violently onto the cold and hard steel deck of the submarine, and finally returned to their turquoise home through the narrow drainage holes in the deck.

"Looking at the endless sea makes me feel how small I am. It's so peaceful, it's so expansive, it's all-encompassing, and it makes me almost forget that there are fights and wars in the world. Looking at this beautiful view, I don't want to think about the brutal decisive battle we are about to face. Wheeler leaned against the fence of the bridge and looked at the horizon in the distance, glittering with its mesmerizing brilliance, and exclaimed in admiration.

"General, you only see the forgiving side of the sea, and you don't say that if you see its cruel and violent side, the sea is an unpredictable child, and when it is calm it is like the most serene angel, and when it begins to be angry, even the most violent demon in hell cannot match half of its cruelty. And that's what I like about it, only those who have gone through that kind of test, who have faced that kind of danger and persevered are really strong, that is the real man. A handsome young naval officer looked up from his compass and smiled at Werler.

"Haha, yes, I've never been to sea. So I haven't seen the rough side of the sea yet, but I've heard many stories of seafarers battling the wind and waves, and I admire the courage of the people in the stories. To be honest, I don't know if I'll be able to face the wrath of the sea as much as they do, and I don't know much about the wrath of the sea yet. Von, Colonel Royankram. ”

"Oh, haven't you ever been to sea?" The admiral asked in surprise.

"Really, this is my first time out at sea, and the most I used to do was paddling in a canal or swimming in a lake. You know that my work has kept me from having the opportunity to embrace the real ocean, but now I can finally eliminate my regrets, thanks to His Excellency the Marshal. Weierle replied with a smile, and after saying the last sentence, he turned his gaze to Xu Jun, who was on the left side of the bridge and looked at Xu Jun in the distance with a telescope in one hand.

"I see, then I can say that His Excellency General Verrle is a natural seaman, and I have never seen anyone who has gone to sea for the first time get used to the swing of a ship so quickly, especially a submarine in this state of surface motion, and even the old sailors who have been on other surface ships cannot quickly adapt to this crazy turbulence." Admiral Siegfried marveled at Weierle's astonishing adaptability.

"Hahaha, Colonel Siegfried, you don't know that, I can adapt to this bump because my balance is too poor. Field Marshal Reinhardt is really adaptable, he is a pilot, his balance is beyond ordinary people, but do you see anything unusual about him? He was as comfortable on the boat as he was on land. If you look at the guys in the back, it's a shame for the German ** team, one by one on the land, they are full of energy and vigor on the sea, but they become so embarrassed. Wehrle shook his head and smiled, then he turned his head.

"Randolph! Look at what you look like, have you vomited enough? You're not even as good as me, an old fellow, and seeing your painful appearance, you just give yourself a shot. Weirle shouted to Randolph, who was twitching and spitting green water on the railing on the weapon platform at the rear of the bridge.

Randolph leaned weakly on the railing and raised his head, looking at Werle, who was standing on the bridge with his head up, and just wanted to distinguish between two sentences, but before he could say a word, he leaned on the side of the railing and retched loudly. Hans, who was standing beside him, patted him lightly on the back, Hans's face was not very beautiful now, but it was much better than the green Randolph. The four Storm Commandos were lying on the other side of the weapon platform to contribute their food to the sea, and now the heavily armed commandos could not even hold their pistols, but as they were doing, their bodies should be trying to adapt to this particular environment, and they would be able to recover in a day or two.

"Feng. Colonel Royankram. Xu Jun put down the binoculars and turned to the colonel.

"Yes, my marshal." Siegfried replied respectfully.

"Oh, don't be so inhibited. You've worked with Mueller for a while, so you should know from him what kind of person I am. Besides, we used to meet at the celebration in Dunkerke. ”

"Yes, my marshal. I was very impressed by your approachable demeanor at that time. Siegfried still couldn't let go, but he no longer had that restrained look on his face.

"Admiral Raeder sent you here because I know you." Xu Jun slowly walked to the side of the radio signal receiving antenna, and then leaned back against the fence to look at Siegfried standing in front of the compass and smiled.

"Yes, Marshal Raeder has sent me because I have worked with you, and he wants to show you favor in exchange for your trust in him." Siegfried replied respectfully.

"Oh, yesterday when I was discussing my plan of action with you, I thought you were not a simple messenger, and now that you have told me the intentions of your commander so easily, you want to test what kind of person I am." Xu Jun still looked at Siegfried with a smile.

"No, my marshal, I have no intention of testing you. I think it's better to just state it all at the outset than to let you guess the final conclusion, which is more proof of our Navy's support and loyalty to you. ”

"Doesn't Raeder want to be neutral? When he courted me through Canaris, I suspected that Canaris was playing with me. Yesterday there were too many people for me to ask you this question in detail, now there are only our people here, and you can tell me why the Navy suddenly fell to me. When did Raeder suddenly become brave enough to stand up to that man? Xu Jun still kept his smile and his eyes were fixed on Siegfried, expecting Siegfried to give him a satisfactory answer.

"Actually, it was the man himself who forced the Navy down this path. The navy, like the army, was forced by him to the point where it had to protect itself. Siegfried looked a look of sorrow, and he continued: "He forced the Admiralty to take a stand against him in order to prevent the Navy from falling against you, and you know that Marshal Raeder had at first resorted to delaying tactics against him. Obviously, Marshal Raeder's reaction made the man very dissatisfied. As a result, that person sent a special investigation team to the Navy Command, and they did everything in the Navy Command in the name of investigation, and many officers were suspended and even arrested for no reason.

That man used his power to remove a number of good naval officers, and the guys who now sat in those important positions were loyal rubbish to him, and some of them had never even seen the sea. The Navy has completely lost its normal command, a large number of ships have been strictly ordered to withdraw to their respective ports, and the construction of many ships has come to a standstill. The blockade of the British mainland that you had planned now exists in name only, because there are no more warships and submarines patrolling the Atlantic. Although the operational report says that they are still blockading the British, they are actually under the scrutiny of the Imperial Security Service in their respective ports.

And these messages were strictly blocked by that person, and many low-ranking officers in the navy did not know that this was actually an action for the whole navy, otherwise the mutiny would have happened long ago. We also did not disseminate the truth of the facts because we took into account the incalculable damage that this could cause to the Navy. We don't want those good Navy officers and sailors to be arrested by those brutes because they showed some displeasure after knowing these things.

The U37 you are now flying in, which was supposed to be patrolling around Iceland now, was withdrawn to a naval base in Denmark for investigation after those investigation teams entered the naval command. But it was because of this that Marshal Raeder was able to transfer them to Danzig so quickly. Otherwise, we really don't have a way to get you three ocean-going submarines in one day. ”

Listening to Siegfried's words, Xu Jun couldn't help but be taken aback. There is such a big thing in the Navy, but I don't know anything about it. Although his intelligence network is relatively weak in the navy, it is not even to the point where he does not even know about such a major event, which shows how strong Hitler's blockade is in this matter.

Once again, Hitler overestimated his own strength, thinking that he could once again consolidate his control over the navy in the same way as he had done when he first came to power. He didn't take into account that his enemy was not the same small group as before, and that his enemy was as strong as he was this time, and even had power over him. He didn't get the results he wanted, because now the Navy had another option besides him.

He had driven the navy to the point of rebellion, and once again the tyrant had helped himself, and he had pushed another powerful group of the German army into his own hands, and he was trying to dig a grave for himself.

Another piece of news provided by Siegfried made Xu Jun feel very worried. The Navy had lost its normal command, and the blockade of Britain had been artificially stopped. Xu Jun felt a chill pass behind him, what was that person's mind thinking, what was the difference between this approach and collaborating with the enemy. Although the British were greatly defeated by themselves in the previous battle, they were not completely defeated, and they still had a firm will to resist. Did that person think that destroying the British battleship group would easily make Britain bow its head? Now is the most critical period to bring down Britain, that person actually stopped the blockade of Britain at this time, and now as long as Britain is given a chance to breathe, this empire on which the sun never sets will quickly recover from the heavy blow of the previous period, and the loss of those personnel and equipment will be compensated by the support of her overseas colonies and those federal countries. Soon she will benefit from this negligence on the part of Germany, which may pay a heavy price for making such a stupid mistake.

Xu Jun is now more anxious to solve this matter quickly, and he must correct this mistake before it causes irreparable damage to Germany, because according to his understanding of this period of history, if it is too late to correct it now, it will definitely not allow Britain to gain new blood.

Looking at Xu Jun, who was pondering, Siegfried secretly let out a sigh of relief, he could see from the marshal's frowning brow that the marshal had fully understood the seriousness of this matter, and he saw the hidden crisis behind this matter. Siegfried felt that the stone that had been blocking his heart had finally fallen to the ground, and he believed in the ability of the deputy Führer, and as long as he began to think about countermeasures, it would mean that the navy would definitely be saved.

"Why didn't you tell me this now, why didn't you say it yesterday, why didn't you say it when you were joking with Weierle earlier." Xu Jun suddenly raised his head, his eyes fixed on Siegfried's eyes and asked coldly.

Looking at those eyes that emitted a faint cold light, Siegfried felt that he was almost frozen.

"No, my marshal, please listen to my explanation. You have to trust me, I have no intention of deceiving you or withholding this information. Siegfried was taken aback by the intense sense of oppression Xu Jun had given him, and at that time he suddenly had the feeling that if he could not give this marshal a reasonable explanation, his fate would be miserable, and he quickly shook his hand and explained: "This is because Marshal Raeder ordered me not to report these things to you in the presence of other naval officers unless I have to use this in exchange for your trust in us." Yesterday there was Captain Gilse, and it is inconvenient for me to say, and now there is General Willle on this bridge, and it is inconvenient for me to say. ”

After listening to Siegfried's explanation, Xu Jun smiled slightly, and the strong sense of oppression disappeared in an instant, as if it had never existed, which made Siegfried almost think that the feeling of oppression just now was just his hallucination. But he clearly knew that it was true, and Siegfried couldn't help but add a touch of awe to Xu Jun.

"Colonel, I believe your words. You can rest assured, as long as you make me feel that you are worthy of my trust, I will give you my trust without reservation. Now that you have passed my test, you are indeed a very capable naval officer. Xu Jun said with a smile to Siegfried.

"Thank you, my marshal, it is my greatest honor to be able to gain your trust." Siegfried bowed his head respectfully in thanks.

"Don't worry about the navy, I'm sure Marshal Raeder can hold on for a while, at least Canaris and his intelligence bureau can support him in the dark. The trouble now is that Britain may take this opportunity to get a respite, and they are the most problematic issue in this matter. We must address this issue while the UK has not yet taken a breath. ”

"Yes, Marshal." Weierle on the side nodded. After listening to Siegfried's report earlier, Weierle's mind never stopped, and he was analyzing the consequences of this matter, which made the wise chief of staff begin to feel cold.

"My marshal, I don't think we can change this situation by any means we can't do now, and there is only one way to solve all problems, and that is to solve our current matter as soon as possible, and then everything will be back on their right track." Weirle said lightly.

"Well, that's the only way to do it now. We want to feel our destination as soon as possible. Colonel Siegfried, how many more days will it take us to get there. Xu Jun asked Siegfried.

"According to the plan, if nothing else, it should be in France within four days. But now that British warships are patrolling the North Sea, I don't know if they will encounter their destroyers. ”

"That's not a problem, we're a submarine formation now, and we still have the ability to resist that kind of single destroyer patrol." Xu Jun looked at the two submarines behind him.

"I don't know, my marshal, our submarines have never been in formation, but think it's true, three submarines should have a little more survivability than one, but the number of discovered submarines has increased accordingly. Not only do we have to evade local patrol ships, but we also have to evade patrol and reconnaissance planes of our own air force. The road ahead is not easy. Weirle said worriedly.

"Rest assured, General, we'll get around all the areas where we might be exposed, and if we can't dodge, we'll be able to dive and sail covertly. It should be possible to go undetected. Siegfried smiled and comforted Weierle.

At this moment, with a crisp sound of metal colliding, Dogan hurriedly climbed out of the submarine.

After he climbed out of the entrance and stood up, he immediately stood up and said to Xu Jun solemnly: "Marshal, we are now going to enter the Strait of Mattergat in Denmark, and in order not to be discovered by our own and Swedish patrol ships and aircraft, we are now going to dive and sail covertly. Captain Gilsey, please enter the submarine immediately. ”

"Oh, that's it, I see, thank you for informing me, we've got enough of it, now obey the orders of His Excellency the Captain, and go down obediently." Xu Jun said with a smile to Weierle and Siegfried.

"Then I'll go down first, and I'll help you down there." Siegphiliso slid down the hatch with a vertical ladder between his legs. Then Xu Jun was also helped by Weierle and slowly climbed down the escalator, and Siegfried followed him into the command tower below.

After Dougan put Werle into the hatch, he turned around and shouted to the men on the weapon platform behind him, "We're about to dive, you guys hurry up and get into the submarine." Look at your appearance, do you still look like a strong moral ** person? Hurry up, everyone is waiting for you, don't disgrace the marshal."

Dougan then pointed at Randolph and said coldly, "Especially you, Randolph, I tell you again, if you go in and vomit in front of the marshal, I will have Captain Gissel put you in a torpedo tube and shoot out." I'm sure you should scare the British more than a torpedo, at least the torpedo won't spit on them. ”;
