Late at night on September 8, Liverpool, an important city in the west of England. On a blockaded military dock, a destroyer is moored here.

Then the lights on the dock showed soldiers loading boxes of bulky things onto the destroyer. A middle-aged man in a suit was talking to a captain officer.

"Captain John, you have to get this stuff to Canada safely. The future of the British Empire is at stake! The middle-aged man looked serious.

"Yes, sir, I'll do my best." Captain John nodded, he was the captain of the destroyer named 'Lancaster'. This destroyer is also very strong among the many destroyers of the British Royal Navy. The displacement reached thousands of tons, and the maximum speed was up to 35 knots.

"We've got supplies for you in Iceland, and when the ships arrive there, they can refill their fuel and fresh water, and then sail all the way to Canada without stopping. Arriving safely in Canada is the biggest win. God will bless you! The middle-aged man said.

"My luck, sir. This time, I am sure that I will be able to reach Canada safely. Captain John said with a smile.

Soon, all the cargo was loaded onto the warship.

"Sir, it's almost time, I have to go." Captain John said.

The middle-aged man nodded,

Captain John then went to warship.

The destroyer 'Lancaster' was launched, and the battleship slowly withdrew from the docks, turned around and sailed into the Irish Sea. They need to enter the Atlantic Ocean before dawn and then sail west at high speed to reach Canada.

Of course, if they encountered a German warship on the way, they would have to make a detour to escape. The destroyer 'Lancaster', although it has good performance, is nothing more than a destroyer. The 114-mm naval guns were clearly no match for the German capital ships. If you encounter the capital ship of the German Navy, you will have to flee for your life. However, the speed of up to 35 knots made it possible for the destroyer Lancaster to escape. It was not so easy for the capital ships or cruisers of the German Navy to catch up.

The destroyer 'Lancaster' was carrying a hundred tons of gold, which was worth more than fifteen million pounds. Moreover, it is still the value of the pound before the massive devaluation. When the gold arrives in Canada, it will become an important source of funds for the rise of the United Kingdom in Canada. Of course, this 100 tons of gold is only a small part of Britain's vast wealth. They have more gold and other wealth waiting to be shipped to Canada through a variety of routes.

No sooner had the destroyer HMS Lancaster left port than a telegram was sent out of a slum in Liverpool. On the telegram, the time and route of the departure of the destroyer 'Lancaster' were clearly marked.

In order to intercept the wealth that the British were about to ship to Canada, the German intelligence services could be said to have made a bloody investment. Many intelligence agents who have been lurking for years have been activated, searching for relevant information. In addition, the current war situation was very unfavorable to Britain, which made many British people desperate, and they were naturally willing to cooperate with the German side. This allowed the German intelligence agencies to eventually have this information.

In the Atlantic, the German Navy reacted immediately. The battle cruiser "Blucher", with two light cruisers and six destroyers, formed a hunting fleet, ready to encircle and suppress the destroyer "Lancaster". They were given the order that it would be best to force the destroyer Lancaster to surrender. If it doesn't work, sink it. It is better to let the gold sink into the Atlantic than to let the British get it safely to Canada. Besides, after sinking into the Atlantic, Germany can also organize salvage forces to carry out salvage in the future, and maybe it will be able to salvage.

At dawn on the morning of 9 September, the destroyer Lancaster had entered the Atlantic. Captain John's heart, which had been hanging, was finally put back in his stomach.

The Atlantic Ocean was vast, and as long as the warships entered the Atlantic, it would be very difficult for the German Navy to find them again. After all, in the era when there were no reconnaissance satellites, searching for warships in the sea was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Captain, what exactly are we transporting this time? So mysterious? An officer asked curiously.

"Shut up, don't ask more questions when you shouldn't. This is an Imperial secret! Captain John said with a straight face.

Suddenly, the officer had no choice but to say no more. Of course, curiosity must be indispensable.

Except for Captain John, no one else on the entire warship had any idea what they were transporting. This is undoubtedly for the sake of secrecy. The value of a hundred tons of gold is staggering. It is already possible to build several of the latest capital ships. So, Captain John naturally knew how important this mission was.

At 7 a.m., the destroyer 'Lancaster' continued its voyage. Captain John stayed up all night and was already very tired. After he had explained a few words to the captain, he went to the captain's room to rest.

Ten minutes later, a seaplane flew in from the northern sky. After discovering this seaplane, the British naval officers and sailors on the destroyer "Lancaster" were like a great enemy.

The navigator ordered the ship to turn and had Captain John called.

Captain John had just fallen asleep when he was woken up, much to his annoyance. It's just that the current situation doesn't allow him to get angry.

"Damn, how could the German seaplanes be here? Has our whereabouts been revealed? Captain John yelled.

The mission they carried out this time was a secret mission, and the degree of secrecy was very high. It stands to reason that the news is unlikely to leak. However, the appearance of the German seaplanes is undoubtedly telling.

"Captain, what do we do now?" The navigator asked.

Captain John frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "The battleship continues to advance, pay close attention to the surrounding seas, and once you spot the German ship, turn immediately!" ”

It was just the seaplanes of the Germans, which did not pose much of a threat to them. However, Captain John knew that the other warships of the German Navy must have been on their way to the arrival.

Captain Johann was right in his guess, and the German fleet was indeed operating in this area. Having received the report of the seaplanes, the fleet immediately approached the destroyer 'Lancaster'. The destroyers, in particular, have increased their speed to the maximum.
