There was a loud bang, the waves were raging, and the myth of the Seawolf submarine was put to an end. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Just like the battleship Bismarck of the German Navy during World War II, the victory flower that had just borne fruit fell before it could fully bloom.

The salvage of the Seawolf submarine lasted fifteen days, for which the Imperial Chinese Navy transferred a huge 20,000-ton salvage ship from England.

Finally, after half a month of fighting, part of the wreckage of the Seawolf 1 submarine was salvaged from the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.

The Seawolf submarine did not have any special signs belonging to the German Empire, except for dozens of white corpses, which could not prove that it was the work of the German Imperial Navy.

The Imperial Chinese government exposed the photos of the sinking of the Seawolf 1 submarine in a high-profile manner, which can be regarded as avenging the death of the Chinese Imperial comrades.

When the German Imperial military saw those exposed photos, they were shocked and lost their eyeballs, especially Wilhelm II, as if the ambition in his heart to defeat the Chinese Imperial Navy and dominate the world was shattered.

Upon waking up, Wilhelm II hurriedly called Hitla.

"How's it going?"

The sinking of Seawolf 1 was indeed a huge blow to Wilhelm II, but what was more serious was the secret of Seawolf 1, and he was directly frightened awake when he heard that the Chinese Imperial Military was actively salvaging.

As the person in charge of the ghost project, this incident also hit him very hard, but it was not enough to frighten him, but he needed to appease Wilhelm II.

"Your Majesty, Seawolf No. 1 will not have any handle in the hands of the Chinese Empire, please rest assured!"

From the beginning of the construction of the Seawolf 1, Hitler was prepared for the eventuality, the entire Seawolf 1 did not have any traces of German manufacturing, and all the personnel were German Navy expulsees, of course, Simon and those people did not know that they had been removed from the military.

There is nothing on the entire Seawolf 1 that can prove identity and nationality, including the underwear worn by Simon and others are foreign.

Because of Hitla's care, the first Seawolf was also very expensive.

At this moment, Wilhelm II was depressed with a pain in his liver and stomach.

"It seems that taking the submarine warfare route is not successful, and the way out for the Imperial Navy in the future may have to break through from the direction of surface combat ships."

Sensing that Wilhelm II seemed a little discouraged, Hitra persuaded him.

"Your Majesty, the reverse combat of surface ships is not in line with the national conditions of the empire, the cost of super battleships can build twenty Seawolf submarines, the future combat capability of aircraft carriers will dominate the world's oceans, but it requires the cooperation of carrier-based fighters, and the link of submarines is particularly important, because if we use battleships and aircraft carriers to fight with the Chinese Empire, we can't consume them at all, but the cost of submarines is low, we can fight with them."

Wilhelm II agreed, but the sinking of the Seawolf submarine and the slap in the face of the Imperial German Navy by the Chinese Empire made him feel a lack of confidence.

Hitra then further persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Seawolf No. 1 is just an experimental specimen, he has completed his mission, proving that the Chinese Imperial Navy has huge flaws in the anti-submarine sonar system, our Seawolf No. 2, more models of Seawolf in the future, will become more and more powerful, once it forms a scale, it is enough to make the Chinese Empire exhausted." ”

Wilhelm II was in a slightly better mood and asked, "How's the progress of Seawolf II?" ”

Knowing that Wilhelm II needed to be cheered up, Hitler explained: "Seawolf II has been launched and is currently being outfitted. Its performance is more advanced than that of the Seawolf One, and once it is put into service with the Imperial High Seas Fleet, it is enough to deter the Imperial Chinese Navy. ”

This Seawolf 2 is naturally an upgraded version of the Seawolf 1, because the Seawolf 1 was first built, the German engineers were not fully prepared in terms of design and technical convenience, so there are many areas that need to be improved and upgraded urgently.

For example, in terms of the most important noise of the submarine, the Seawolf 2 is significantly quieter than the Seawolf 1, using a more advanced diesel-electric engine, with a longer endurance, and a new pressure-resistant hull, which greatly improves the diving depth of the Seawolf 2 submarine, and is more effective in evading detection and deep-water smashing.

Wilhelm II listened to the idea, and now he just needed a comfort.

"Seawolf One has been sunk, what are you going to do next?"

Hearing Wilhelm II's question, Hitra replied: "Your Majesty, one Seawolf No. 1 can mobilize the entire Atlantic Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy, which shows that once the war breaks out, we have more advanced submarines, which will definitely exhaust the Imperial Chinese Navy, so that the military operations of the main force of the Imperial High Seas Fleet will be of great help and the initiative will be in the hands of the Imperial Navy." ”

Wilhelm II nodded, this point was not thought of before, but now when analyzed, it does make sense.

"It seems that the Chinese Empire has quietly begun to counter us, and then not only the naval submarines, but also all other aspects may be strongly challenged by the Chinese Imperial military, and the future of the German Empire depends on you, Hitla!"

I don't know when Wilhelm II seems to have begun to rely on Hitla.

This pleased Hitla, who was not modest, but by his eloquence he made Wilhelm II very happy.

In the Atlantic, after a series of salvage operations, the Imperial Chinese Navy finally returned some of the Seawolf 1 wreckage to the Imperial Academy of Sciences, where the best expert group was assembled to conduct a systematic analysis of the wreckage.

Soon, the results were sent to Li Weiguo's imperial book case.

"It turned out to be shark skin, no wonder the mute effect is so good, it can evade the anti-submarine sonar detection of the Imperial Navy!"

Li Weiguo then remembered that submarines did use shark skin and other means to reduce submarine noise for a period of time in terms of silence, but that was after World War II.

It seems that it was a great change in history that led to the German Empire's great attention to submarines, and Hittra's use of shark skin as a submarine skin was indeed a clever move.

However, shark skin as a submarine shell skin, such a cost is too high, even Li Weiguo does not believe that the future German Imperial Navy will build a large number of submarines using shark skin.

"Your Majesty, we have found a large number of rubber partitions in the wreckage, and experts speculate that they may have been used to isolate the noise from the power compartment."

Navy Minister Lin Jiyun personally reported the matter to Li Weiguo.

Li Weiguo nodded and said: "Using rubber as an isolation layer can indeed play a sound insulation effect, but more importantly, this rubber layer can isolate the magnetic field effect, so that our magnetic induction detector can not be detected. ”

Lin Jiyun agreed: "That's true, Chen has asked the relevant departments, and the cost of using this rubber isolation layer on a large scale on submarines is very high. ”

After a pause, Lin Jiyun said again: "In addition, we found that the wreckage of the submarine has no traces related to the German army, and the equipment parts come from the United States, England and other regions. ”

Li Weiguo smiled slightly, not surprised.

"Merchants are profit-seeking, and as long as the German Empire is willing to pay for it, it is natural that someone will take risks and sell them technology and equipment."

In Li Weiguo's view, as long as the submarine of the German Empire still uses parts and components smuggled from England and the United States, then it is not enough evidence, because the technology of England and the United States is only a part of the Chinese Empire, indicating that the submarine technology of the German Empire has not surpassed that of the Chinese Empire, and their scientific and technological level is still lagging behind the Chinese Empire.

It is enough to know this, so that Li Weiguo will have the bottom in his heart.

"Your Majesty, this time the Thirty-First Prince has made a great contribution, and the new towed sonar array system he invented has provided great help to the Imperial Navy to find and sink the German ghost submarine. If it weren't for the fact that this system had detected the Fish Radium attack in advance, the Seahawk 328 would have made the mistake of being sunk by a German submarine again, and even if the Atlantic Fleet was dispatched, I am afraid that the German submarine would not be found. ”

Lin Jiyun took the initiative to ask for credit for the thirty-first prince, this is the first time, it seems that he is in a very good mood, sinking the German ghost submarine, and also making the entire imperial navy breathe a sigh of relief, no longer have to be afraid.

Li Weiguo bowed slightly, and said, "This matter will be handed over to you to deal with with with it all!" It is not easy to publicize the new sonar system, and the Imperial Academy of Sciences will assist in the development and equip the navy as soon as possible. This time the German submarine sank, and they also suffered a dumb loss, and they will definitely not give up, and the next wave of retaliation may escalate, so be prepared. ”

Lin Jiyun was a little indignant and said: "Your Majesty, this German Empire is so arrogant that it dares to take the initiative to attack the imperial merchant ships and warships, this is declaring war on the Empire, and the minister still insists on declaring war on Germany!" ”

Li Weiguo nodded and said: "I have my own considerations for this matter, there is no direct evidence to prove that it is the German Imperial Navy, and the public opinion of the empire and the people of the empire are not willing to fight, so unless there is direct evidence, if you declare war, don't export it easily in the future." ”

Lin Jiyun saw that Li Weiguo was resolute, so he had no choice but to obey the order.

Reprisals against the German Reich were in full swing, albeit privately.

In the waters of the North Atlantic, the Imperial Chinese Navy used the pretext of searching for "pirates and murderers" to conduct an inventory of merchant ships coming and going, among which the merchant ships of the German Empire were the most intensive, and they made difficulties almost everywhere, forcing the German captains to pay a higher deposit, otherwise they would take away the crew or passengers suspected of piracy.

The amount of maritime trade in the German Empire was originally small, and if it was forced to pay a higher deposit, or even inexplicably detained, then the profits of the German merchant ships would be even lower, and even a trip would be lost, which would be a very big blow to the maritime trade of the German Empire.

In response to this, the government of the German Empire protested to the Chinese Empire every once in a while, demanding that the Imperial Chinese Navy treat the German Imperial merchant ships fairly.

However, the Chinese Empire had a tough attitude, and anyway, it was a fact that the merchant ships and warships of the Chinese Empire were sunk by the so-called "pirates", and the whole world knew about it, so it was understandable that the Chinese Empire inspected German merchant ships in the name of hunting down pirates. At the same time, the German Reich had a ghost in its heart, so it could not be too arrogant on the issue of protest.

In this way, it was a bitter thing for the German merchants, who could only pay a high deposit to the Chinese Empire, which had a huge negative impact on Germany's maritime trade.

Of course, this is only the gentle side, and it is also the open side of the Imperial Chinese Navy.

Secretly, the Chinese Empire would not let go of the German Empire, and an elite group selected from the Chinese Imperial Navy piloted submarines and began to attack the merchant ships of the German Empire in the North Atlantic.

Now that the Chinese Empire had declared that it was the work of "pirates" and all countries in the world recognized it, even the German Empire triumphantly supported the Chinese Empire in its fight against "pirates" at the beginning.

Therefore, when some submarines of the Imperial Chinese Navy began to play the role of "pirates" and attack passing merchant ships, the German Empire was instantly stunned.

Being cocooned and self-bound, there is no bitterness to say, this is the complicated mood of the German Imperial Navy at this moment.

They know that this is the revenge of the Chinese Empire, but they can't start a full-scale war with the Chinese Empire, so they can only accept this fact.

However, when the German Imperial merchant ships were sunk, it was only natural that the German Imperial High Seas Fleet would also be dispatched to stand up for the Germans.

The German High Seas Fleet set up an escort group to protect German merchant ships in an attempt to prevent the Chinese Imperial submarines from attacking German merchant ships.

After all, the Imperial Chinese Navy did not want to sink their merchant ships in front of the German Navy, in case of a battle and the submarines of the Imperial Chinese Navy were exposed, then it would be very passive, at least in front of the world's public opinion, it would suffer a big loss, but it helped the Germans.

Therefore, whenever there were merchant ships escorted by the German fleet, the submarines of the Imperial Chinese Navy gave up the attack.

But soon, the Imperial Chinese Navy thought of a way.

In a surprise attack, the Chinese Imperial Navy's submarine sank a German merchant ship, and before the German fleet could arrive for anti-submarine, several destroyer fleets of the Imperial Chinese Navy arrived at the scene in advance and began frantic anti-submarine operations.

In fact, the anti-submarine warfare of the Chinese Empire was nothing more than a deliberate noise, which did not hurt its own submarines at all, but covered the submarines to escape quickly.

After the arrival of the German escort fleet, the noise under the sea surface was chaotic, and there was no trace of submarines at all, and the crazy anti-submarine operations of the Imperial Chinese Navy seemed to outsiders to be an extreme hatred of "pirates", which made the German Navy quite speechless.

I had already guessed that the Imperial Chinese Navy was deliberately putting on a show, but I couldn't find any excuse.

As a result, the German Empire and the Chinese Empire launched a diplomatic war of words, and the German Empire accused the Chinese Empire of meddling in the affairs of rats, causing the "pirates" to escape. The Chinese Empire, on the other hand, insisted that it was the first to discover the traces of "pirates" and followed them all the way, saying that the Imperial Chinese Navy, as the most powerful naval force in the world, had the obligation to help eliminate "pirates".

Since there was no evidence on both sides, they could only quarrel, and in the end, it was over.

However, the consequence of this kind of thing was that the Imperial Chinese Navy and the Imperial German Navy often engaged in military confrontations on the high seas, and the officers and men of the navy of both sides regarded the so-called "pirates" as each other.

The Imperial Chinese Navy was stronger than the Imperial German Navy, so the result of each military confrontation was the final victory of the Imperial Chinese Navy, while the Imperial German Navy would receive an order from the base camp and would retreat unwillingly.

In this way, the hatred of the German Imperial Navy towards the Chinese Imperial Navy became deeper and deeper, and every time it suffered losses, every time it was on fire, and to a certain extent, it would inevitably erupt in a concentrated manner, and that day would be the day when the German Empire would really go to war with the real full-scale war.
