The Arctic sea is quite cold, and if it is still the previous open-top aircraft, it will definitely be able to freeze people after a flight mission.

Now, the German Navy is greatly developing carrier-based aviation, and aircraft carriers are being built one after another, but in terms of the development of seaplanes, Germany has not paid much attention to it, and until now, it is still a single-wing Ar-196 seaplane.

In the past few years, when it first appeared, compared with those biplanes, it was very advanced, with a maximum speed of 310 kilometers per second, surpassing other seaplanes, but with the development of time, it has gradually fallen behind, and the carrier-based aircraft on those aircraft carriers cannot be compared.

However, Germany did not continue to invest energy in seaplanes, for Germany, the aircraft carrier group is gradually growing, and in the future, when facing a serious threat, there will definitely be aircraft carriers, and the aviation side will be handed over to aircraft carriers.

On the other hand, it is because the helicopter being developed by Germany will be equipped on the warship after success, compared to the seaplane that needs to be ejected and taken off, and then the pontoon is landed on the water, and the seaplane recovered by the crane is concerned, the carrier-based helicopter can take off and land directly on the warship with its own ability, which is the most suitable type of aircraft for ordinary warships.

And now, more than 500 AR-196 seaplanes have been produced, which is almost the standard configuration of German surface ships, and even cruisers of several thousand tons can be equipped.

The current seaplane was ejected by the Admiral Graf Spey, and now the battleship has been transferred to the Coast Guard, the flagship of the Coast Guard.

It has been roaming around the North Pole since the base camp was on duty, but the absence of a single American transport ship in the waterway has left the captain and head of the coast guard, Colonel Langesdorff, wondering.

Did the Americans really strangely accept their own provocations and then stop all the transports? It can't be, the Americans are so easy to fool?

So, he ordered his search plane to expand the search area and continue to search north, in the harsh meteorological conditions of the Arctic Circle.

The pilot, Ludwig, soon saw the black smoke rising from the sea in the distance, and his heart was overjoyed, it was the exhaust gases from the boilers of surface ships, and the machine gunner Lucas in the back seat of him, who saw it clearly, shouted to him: "It's the Liberty ship, the American cargo ship!" ”

The plane was a two-man plane, and the machine gunner in the back was also an observer, and in this kind of mission, the machine guns were fixed, the cabin was tightly closed, and the engine was heated in the cockpit, which was acceptable.

Now, the target has finally been found.

"Haijing No. 1, Haijing No. 1, found a free ship, which is now in the sea area of 76 degrees north latitude and 10 degrees east longitude, heading east, and we are about to intercept it." Ludwig shouted over the radio.

At this time, the code name of the Graff on the radio has become Haijing No. 1.

At 76 degrees north latitude, 10 degrees north of the sea they had predetermined, it was no wonder that they had not noticed it before, and at the same time as the call, Ludwig pushed the lever and swept quickly in the direction of the ship.

Don't worry, cargo ships don't carry weapons.

In later history, the American Liberty ships were not equipped with any weapons in the early days, and it was because the Germans began to attack their cargo ships at sea that they had to be equipped with weapons in the later period.

And now, the freighter is civilian, and it is necessary to use civilian means, and if they dare to add weapons, then Germany will directly greet them with warships, and there is no need to make a European joint maritime law enforcement committee in a roundabout way.

At the same time, Lucas, who was in the back seat, quickly got to work, flipping a switch on the control panel to warm up the high-powered amplifier that had just been installed.

Germany has begun to rapidly transition to the era of transistors, but transistor electronic products have always been in short supply, and in terms of amplifiers, electron tubes have outstanding advantages, high power, frequency bandwidth, but slow warm-up.

Looking at the machine gun above him, Lucas was a little speechless, and nagged in his mouth: "Machine gun, you rest and rest first, if the people below are disobedient, I will let you teach them a lesson." ”

Two minutes later, Ludwig was piloting the plane and was already circling the ship, and Lucas picked up the microphone, the tweeters installed behind the pontoons on both sides, and began to shout downward.

"Listen down to the ship, we are a maritime patrol aircraft of the European Joint Maritime Enforcement Committee, and now, you need to stop sailing immediately and wait for us to enforce the law."

"Repeat, we are a maritime patrol aircraft of the European Joint Maritime Enforcement Committee, and now, you need to stop sailing immediately and wait for us to enforce the law."

The reconnaissance plane was swaying on top of the steamer, and at this time, the people on board were in a panic.

The civilian crew of the steamer are also ordinary sailors, although they know that they are transporting munitions, but they are actually ordinary people with high salaries, they are not soldiers, and they have not experienced this kind of scene.

Captain Chris looked at the plane above him, and his heart was hesitating at this time.

What to do?

Keep moving? Now, as long as they continue to drive forward for a few dozen nautical miles, they will be able to reach the airspace of the naval aviation of the Soviet Northern Fleet, and if they send a distress signal now and ask them to take off fighter planes to escort them, they will still be able to catch up.

But what will happen to this plane if it goes ahead? As far as the eye can see, the opposing warship should still be in the distance, maybe hundreds of nautical miles.

Whatever, keep going!

These Germans are simply hooligans, the shipping routes on this ocean should be public, when will it be the turn of the Germans to be powerful here?

If they directly dispatched warships to intercept it, that would be fine, but now they have come up with a joint maritime law enforcement committee, which is both a bitch and an archway, which is really disgusting.

Ignore them!

"Go ahead and ask the Soviets for help." Chris shouted loudly, his eyes full of determination, and the ice ballast on his beard shook as he spoke.

We must fight against this kind of hooliganism!

Black smoke rose from the chimney, the steam boiler continued to pressurize, and the bow of the ship split the waves, and continued to accelerate.

"It seems that the Americans are going to resist law enforcement, warn them again!" Ludwig shouted, but he had a faint sense of excitement.

Resist law enforcement, so that you can play, want to fight with yourself, or too tender.
