169, the death of the submarine 3

The atmosphere in Darwin Harbor has become unprecedentedly tense, and the submarine formations sent by the United States have disappeared one after another, which has made the people of this temporary submarine home port panic, not only the command, but everyone thinks that there are spies.

If you don't have extremely accurate information, if you want to find a submariner in the vast sea to sink it, it will be even more difficult to find a needle in a haystack.

Although the submarines of this era are not very advanced, especially the Western submarines do not have snorkels, the time that submarines can stay underwater is about a day. However, it is not easy to notice that it is underwater during the day and comes up for ventilation at night. During the day, the Chinese aircraft cruise to collect the cable, and even if the cable is collected at night, it cannot be seen.

If it is said that the blind cat hits the dead mouse and is hit and kills one or two submarine formations, it is barely acceptable. But five or six submarine formations have been eliminated, and as soon as they enter the Java Sea, the Chinese supply route disappears, that is too bizarre and weird, right?

Colonel Kincaid and Lieutenant Colonel Norman both looked ugly, and they didn't know anything, and the submarine just disappeared.

Lieutenant Colonel Norman said: "There has been no news from the sixth formation for a day. ”

Colonel Kincaid said in a deep voice: "Do you believe that the Chinese have superb anti-submarine technology, or do you think that there are sea monsters in the Java Sea that specialize in attacking submarines?" ”

"Did you hear the officers and soldiers of the base talking about it?" Norman smiled wryly, "Actually, I'd rather believe that there are sea monsters in the Java Sea. But in fact, I can't even fool myself with such an excuse. Some people say that it may be that the underwater conditions here are bad and the submarine has run aground and sunk, but now six formations and more than 70 submarines are missing, even if they hit the reef. Is it all? Unless they're idiots. Colonel, the Chinese have definitely mastered advanced anti-submarine technology. ”

Kincaid said bitterly: "No matter how advanced their anti-submarine technology is, they need to find our submarines, and they need to have accurate intelligence to understand the range and route of our submarine activities." Are you right? ”

Norman thought for a moment and said, "I know that there seems to be a device that can determine the location of radio wave emissions, could it be that the submarine force contacted us and exposed the target." ”

Kincaid said irritably, "But we all contact at night, in the middle of the night. By dawn, the location would have already changed, so what would they do if they found out? The distance deviation may already be tens of kilometers. Don't tell me that the eyes of the Chinese can see dozens of meters under the water dozens of kilometers away, it's really a hell of a life. ”

Norman sighed: "We don't have enough experience in submarine warfare, and the real masters are the Germans." Chinese leader Li Bufan served in the German army and fought for two years in the World War, and many German officers have helped train Chinese in China. Maybe it was the Germans who passed on their experience to the Chinese. ”

"I don't rule it out." Kincaid has become a little paranoid. After thinking about it, he said, "We can ask the domestic and German sides to negotiate, but this is a matter for later." If we think about the world wars, the submarines of the Germans all seemed to act alone. Could it be that our submarines are concentrated and the target is too big. Lead to being discovered? ”

Norman woke up from a dream. Immediately, he exclaimed, "It's entirely possible." Damn, if we have dozens of submarines to let them go over and move freely, is it possible that the Chinese can send dozens of anti-submarine formations? Right. That's it. ”

However, Colonel Kincaid and Lieutenant Colonel Norman never expected that Li Bufan would obtain the expedition base vehicle brought by Wu Di from the 25th world, and the base vehicle could even operate underwater in a certain variant, just like a submarine, and the most unexpected thing was that although this base car could only be regarded as average in the 25th world, and its function was single, its holographic scanning with a radius of 100 kilometers was too rebellious in this era. Li Bufan's adjutant Li Hengshan only needs to squat in the middle of the main channel of the Chinese supply line in the Java Sea, as long as he wants, not a single fly within a radius of 100 kilometers will not want to escape the search, let alone a submarine.

The Chinese Navy's anti-submarine formation has base vehicles to provide intelligence locations, and the US submarines are basically coming one to die and one to destroy.

Not to mention Kincaid and Norman, even US President Coolidge was so distressed that he vomited blood, although the submarines of this era were relatively simple and the cost was not high, but they were not lower than ordinary destroyers and cruisers, and they cost millions of dollars. A submarine carries dozens of torpedoes, and each torpedo costs $20,000 or 30,000, and the loss of a submarine is about $2 million, and the loss of hundreds of torpedoes is more than $200 million, not to mention that there are dozens of submariners on each submarine.

"The submarine offensive must be stopped, until the situation is clarified." US Secretary of the Navy William was almost crazy and ran up to Coolidge and roared.

Coolidge said bitterly: "But if they can't stop the advance of the Chinese, they will soon completely occupy the Dutch East Indies, and then continue south to attack Australia." ”

William shouted: "Then only by developing the most advanced aircraft as soon as possible by the United Aircraft Factory, as long as it can deal with the Chinese air force, our navy's surface fleet is fully capable of easily defeating the damned Chinese navy." ”

Coolidge smiled bitterly: "William, we all know this, but it takes time to build an airplane, and the war broke out too suddenly. ”

William shouted, "Then we should have shot that damned MacArthur, our submarine shouldn't have saved him in the first place outside Tonkin Bay, he should have died there." This idiot triggered this World War II, in which half a million of our American troops were buried in the Philippines and half of the main forces of our Pacific Fleet were directly lost. This idiot has caused hundreds of thousands of US casualties, and the loss of warships and materials is as high as billions of dollars, why is he still alive? ”

Coolidge smiled bitterly: "He has a witness, it was not the order he gave it, it was the ship's guns that went off." What's more, Roosevelt was also protecting him. ”

"Hell!" William roared resentfully, hatefully saying, "Your Excellency, until we find out the truth of the matter and the new aircraft are put into use, our navy will not be dispatched even a transport boat, and it is not our American's territory that is occupied by the Chinese anyway." "Say it and hate and throw out the door.

Coolidge closed his eyes in anger at the loud sound of the door, grabbed his stinking head because the war had not been washed for several days, and suddenly stood up and shouted: "Where are all the people dead? Send me a telegram to the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom."

"We don't want war, we want peace!"

"Let the Americans get out, let the Americans fight the war caused by the Americans!"

When the British government declared war on China and the conscription order was issued, anti-war crowds poured into the streets to protest. The First World War was absolutely painful for the British, who had 6 million people in service, and the total population of Britain was just over 30 million, and the number of people who served was more than 1 in 5 British casualties, and more than 900,000 people died on the spot, not to mention the disabled.

If it is to bully the soft persimmon and get benefits, of course the British people will not object. At the beginning of the confrontation with China, because the understanding of China was still in the Manchu era, the opposition was not strong, and many people even clamored to deal with China. However, when the war broke out, the British, French, American, Dutch and Siam arranged in the Far East nearly two million troops were crushed by the iron hooves of the Chinese army like paper, which made the British sober up, and they found that China was not a soft persimmon, but an iron plate, no, it should be said that a steel plate.

How long has it been since the war began, in less than a month, the Far East has been completely lost, India is trembling with fear under the bayonets of the Chinese, this will be fought again, and it will be returned? I'm afraid that there will be another world war, and Britain doesn't know how many people will have to die.

When Baldwin and Churchill saw this scene, their hearts were cold.

"Macdonald is having a hard time." Baldwin couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Churchill smiled wryly: "Everybody is having a hard time. The Americans sent a telegram asking the Reich to negotiate with Germany, asking whether Germany would assist the Chinese in submarine technology and teaching combat and anti-submarine experience, because the Americans had lost more than a hundred submarines in the Java Sea. ”

Baldwin smiled bitterly: "I think Americans are going crazy." Not to mention the loss of submarines and warships, the army has lost more than 500,000 yuan, and the Philippines has completely fallen into the hands of the Chinese, and it is said that there are more than 300,000 prisoners. What did the Germans say? ”

Churchill said: "The Germans said no, when we defeated the Allies, we asked the Germans to hand over submarine technology and combat experience records, and the Germans refused, how could they easily teach these to the Chinese?" Even if there were, it was just a rudimentary thing, and it didn't make much sense. ”

Baldwin said in surprise: "Then don't the Chinese have mastered the world's most advanced anti-submarine technology?" ”

Churchill said with a wry smile: "There is no doubt about this, originally our navy also sent submarines to the Indian Ocean, and yesterday the Admiralty issued an emergency order that the submarine force should not enter the waters controlled by the Chinese side in Southeast Asia to avoid unnecessary losses." ”

Baldwin said incredulously: "Surface ships are only afraid of damned Chinese planes, submarines are afraid of the other side's anti-submarine forces, so aren't the Southeast Asian waters completely controlled by the Chinese?" ”

"Yes!" Churchill sighed, "India needs reinforcements, and the Empire has sent the main force of the Royal Navy to escort 200,000 troops to India, and the whole military is worried about it." You know, the Indian anti-colonial forces have ties with the Chinese, and they are constantly attacking the railways. Roads, bridges, if you want to quickly send reinforcements in place, then the only way to do this is to take the sea route and land from the Bay of Bengal, Kolkata and other areas. This route is dangerous at the moment. ”

Baldwin sneered: "Could it be that the Chinese navy still dares to have an ocean duel with the Empire?" I admit that many of the warships sunk by the Da Nang Combined Fleet can be repaired and put into service, but it will take time. They don't dare. ”

Churchill said: "Their surface fleet may not be strong, but what about their submarines?" Chinese submarines can sink battleships. ”
