After a lapse of three days, a freighter named Tianhe docked in the port of Darwin, which was the same freighter with a displacement of more than 20,000 people, and after a simple sea trial, there were no problems, and it began to enter service. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The freighter was mainly used to carry supplies, and a large number of cruise ships were moored next to it, which would be used to carry the soldiers of the Seventh Army to Africa. Lu Qiang wanted to end the war in Africa as soon as possible and then land in Europe.

In the Atlantic, a freighter went to Iceland along the shipping lane, but its destination was not Iceland, but the United Kingdom, which was located below Iceland.

The ship's waterline was very deep, indicating that it was fully loaded and full of cargo, but this cargo was not ammunition, but egg powder.

Britain is now the most scarce in terms of food in addition to resources, and now in Britain, food supplies are distributed by the state.

At the beginning of World War II, Britain lacked experience in confronting German submarines, and a large number of transport ships were attacked, and port imports plummeted to 10% of pre-war levels. Of the 90% lost, not only raw materials from Europe, but also rice, wheat and sugar that could not be transported after the Japanese occupation of places such as Malaysia and Thailand.

Many of the necessities that Britain did not produce in its own country were uprooted at once. Qiu Fatzi knew very well what that meant. If there is not enough to eat, without the German army to capture the British mainland, Britain itself will be defeated first.

At such times, they had to ask the "nutritionists" for the first time how to ensure human nutrition with as little food as possible.

At first, these are fine, and not every food is limited, except for bacon, sugar and butter, everything else can still be bought without restrictions, as long as you have the money.

But it didn't last long, and soon, meat was also restricted, and then jams, syrups and other condiments were added to the restricted list, the most lacking of which was eggs, and there were often no eggs in grain and oil stores.

It didn't work, Qiu Fatzi had to call Luo Cripple and ask him to send some eggs. However, at first, Luo Cripple did not agree, because at this time the United States was in the period of the Great Depression, and it was difficult to turn around, until Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, the United States promised to give Britain eggs, of course, this is only borrowing, and Britain will pay it back after the war.

Ordinary eggs are not easy to transport, and they are easy to break when the freighter sways with the waves at sea, so I have to find another way to make the eggs into canned egg powder, so that it is convenient to transport.

And this cargo ship is loaded with egg powder that Britain urgently needs, and a batch was just shipped last month, but I didn't expect the UK to use it so quickly.

Moreover, German submarines have become more and more arrogant, and recently this route in Iceland has not been very safe, and three cargo ships were sunk not long ago, although these three ships were not loaded with egg powder, but also potatoes, carrots and other food, and some other supplies, all of which were paid on credit to the United States.

Although there is still a lot of gold in the British treasury, they will not take it out, after all, a country must at least keep some bottom.

The unflagged freighter stopped in Iceland and then diverted to England, and the journey was smooth sailing, nothing happened, and the people on board breathed a sigh of relief, but the rest of the journey made them even more worried.

An American soldier with an M1 rifle on his back was lying on the bow railing, and as the hull of the ship rose and fell, he really took the telescope to look around, the sea was calm and calm, and if a submarine stretched out the lookout scope, it was easy to spot.

"Did you find anything?" Another U.S. soldier walked over and handed over a chocolate bar.

"Nothing was found." The GI put down his binoculars, took the chocolate bar, and replied as he chewed on it.

"I'd like to find out." The soldier handing the chocolate said.

"Why? Wouldn't it be better not to find out? The GI was a little puzzled.

"It's because we didn't find out that we were scared, if there were no submarines until the UK, it would be fine, but if we let up halfway and give the other side a chance to sneak attack, it would be over." The soldier who handed over the chocolate said with some worry.

"Then we just keep our eyes on the line."

"To put it simply, people will inevitably have times when they relax, especially in the later period, when they are getting closer and closer to the UK."

"What then?"

"What else can I do, see."

"I hope God willing, England will be able to arrive safely."

6,000 meters away from this freighter, a black thing like a big black fish stayed quietly in the water, with a dark and huge body, which made people feel very depressed.

"Torpedo reloaded." One of the divers pulled the microphone and said, amazingly, they actually spoke Chinese.

"Launch, target, freighter ahead." The captain commanded.

"Understood!" The diver answered, opened the torpedo launch module, began to fill it with water, and when the water pressure was level with the outside world, he immediately launched the wire-guided torpedo.

The torpedo was ejected from the launcher, and the propeller immediately worked, spun rapidly, and pushed the torpedo forward, and the submarine operator controlled the torpedo towards the freighter.

The freighter on the water, the American troops on it stared nervously at the water, and now they had just left the port for a little more than a moment, and they could still see the port farther and farther away, although they did not believe that the Germans came to ambush them at the gate of Iceland, but they were still a little nervous.

"What's that?" A U.S. military sent an abnormal surface of the water, and an unknown object was about half a meter deep underwater, setting off a little wave, which was not conspicuous.

The reaction of this US military immediately attracted the attention of others, after all, they are all highly nervous now, and the slightest disturbance will make them pay attention.

"That... It seems to be... Torpedo!!! It's a torpedo! One of the soldiers squinted, finally seeing what it was.

"Torpedo, quick, quick, left full rudder to avoid it."

"No, it's too late."

"Bang Bang Bang~" Some nervous U.S. troops shot into the water with guns, hoping to detonate the torpedo.

However, this is impossible, and after the bullet is shot into the water more than half a meter deep, it loses its kinetic energy and has no lethal power.

The torpedo was getting closer and closer to the freighter, and it was about to hit the freighter, and the people on board could not stay any longer and jumped into the sea.

It's not far from the port, and the explosion of the freighter will definitely attract rescuers, who will still have a chance to survive by jumping into the sea, and if they continue to stay on the ship, they will not be affected by the explosion and may be killed. (To be continued.) )
