Chapter 852: Sinking

"Howard, if the Hughes company can move to Europe, you can also get this title. Ciric turned to Howard.

Now, the headquarters of the Theseus company is still in the United States, after all, this is an authentic American company, and now, Ciric's words are meaningful.

If the United States has no enterprises, there will be no employment and no economic development, and the United States will die.

Moreover, now that Germany has unified Europe, a united Europe is no smaller than the market of the United States itself, or even larger, after all, there are still such vast colonies.

Howard didn't immediately reply: "Fรผhrer Cirek, please give us a while. โ€

Ciric nodded: "This promise of mine is valid at any time." โ€

In fact, after the integration of Europe, there are already many aircraft factories controlled by Germany, and coordinating these aircraft factories and increasing production capacity are enough to meet Germany's needs, and they don't care about one more Xiusi company.

However, this is a psychological offensive, and if the Hughes company switches to the German camp, it will be a huge blow to the United States.

Anyway, the Hughes company has maintained a close relationship with Germany, and they have been branded as German.

Continuing to walk around the company, Ciric was about to return when he received a report from the commander of the Navy.

In the Pacific Ocean, an American transport ship was found, sink it or not, please indicate!

After a moment's thought, Ciric nodded, "Sunk!" โ€

Compared to the Atlantic Ocean, which can be choppy at any time, the weather conditions in the Pacific Ocean are much better, and many times, the Pacific Ocean is unstable.

The US transport ship Fox is a cargo ship with a displacement of more than 15,000 tons, and at this time, this cargo ship is loaded with weapons and ammunition destined for the Middle East, including dozens of fighter planes and hundreds of tanks.

Originally, the United States' support for Britain was through the Atlantic, but as a result, Britain suddenly fell, and Edward VIII's sudden rise to power made many people unable to recall.

In this way, the support of the United States can only be changed in one way, from the Atlantic route to the Pacific Ocean.

The route was much longer, but fortunately there were few storms in the Pacific, so the cargo ship was moving at full speed and at a maximum speed of 15 knots, in the wind.

Standing on the bridge, the bearded captain Pete was a little anxious.

He has been running this route for many years, from a young handsome sailor, to the current old guy with a big belly and a swarthy body, who has been at sea for many years, and he has not been afraid of anything.

However, this time is different.

The Germans are so unscrupulous, the whole of Europe has fallen, and Germany's goal is to dominate the whole world! Now, the United States is vigorously supporting George VI, which is also a kind of desperate action.

So, the Germans, will they watch the United States come to the aid of the Middle East? What will they do?

Therefore, along the way, in addition to ensuring the safety of navigation, it is also necessary to prevent all kinds of accidents!

In the chimney behind, black smoke continued to rise, and the three-stage reciprocating steam engine was working hard, and the propellers pushed the seawater, stirring up countless waves, and countless noises, which spread far away with the seawater.

Just a few kilometers away from them, on the surface of the sea, a cylindrical thing, sliding on the waves, inside, through a complex optical loop, moved below, and finally reflected in the eyes of a person.

Otto Krezimer, one of Germany's most famous captains, is now shining in his eyes, and now that they have found their target, they are waiting for the order to come!

In recent years, German technology has developed rapidly, and submarines are no exception.

A few years ago, the U-35 submarine commanded by Otto was still an ordinary old type of submarine, with a displacement of just over a thousand tons. And now, he is commanding the latest XXI submarines in service, the displacement of which has been enlarged to almost two thousand tons!

The large displacement results in more space inside the boat, which gives more space for batteries, which makes the submarine more capable of underwater endurance, while at the same time enlarging the space for personnel and making it easier to move.

Compared with the old model of submarine, the biggest change of this submarine is that the bow has become a streamlined type adapted to underwater, and the underwater speed exceeds that of the water. At the same time, it has an advanced torpedo loading device, which can fill six torpedoes in 12 minutes, while ordinary submarines need more than ten minutes to load one!

In fact, its biggest feature should have been to oxidize the seawater so that the submarine engine can work without relying on oxygen in the air, that is, this kind of submarine can dive underwater for a long time without surfacing the surface.

But there are still many problems with this technology, so it is still conventional power, and even so, the huge displacement and terrible endurance make it an ocean-going submarine, and it can even run thousands of miles to the Pacific Ocean to fight guerrillas.

The blood transfusion of the United States to the Middle East allowed George VI to continue to hold on, which of course was not in Germany's interests, so it was important to cut off his sea transportation lines.

It's just that, until now, Germany still has no precedent for direct fire on the United States, and he is waiting for orders.

Finally, the telegraph operator took the telegram and came to him excitedly: "Captain, Berlin has replied, we have received permission to open fire!" โ€

"Attention, forward three, left rudder, ready to seize the launch position, No. 1 and No. 2 launch tubes, ready to launch, fixed depth five, maximum speed!" Otto gave the order to fight.

At this moment, everyone's blood is boiling.

Submarines are like underwater ghosts, maneuvering in the seawater, and until now, only the attack side of the torpedo has a higher hit rate, so they have to seize the firing position on the side.

This action, they have long been trained.

When he had completed one maneuver after another, Otto's vision was full of the appearance of the huge freighter, on which the Star-Spangled Banner was hoisted high in the wind.

"Launch!" With Otto's order, two thumping sounds appeared, which were the sound of high-pressure air ejecting the torpedo and at the same time the sea water pouring in, against the cargo ship, an ordinary torpedo would be enough.

Two electric torpedoes, one second apart, left the launch tube one after the other and swam at full speed in the direction of the cargo ship, which was sailing smoothly.
