For 6 days and 7 nights, most of the time in the closed inner compartment of the submarine, and often encountered wind and waves, this is a voyage that must be gritted and persisted for those who are not familiar with the ocean. Seasickness, vomiting, insomnia, diarrhea, and even listlessness and depressed mood are symptoms and manifestations that are present in many passengers on the submarine.

Compared to the first experience of crossing the North Sea and the Norwegian Sea in a submarine, Lynn has already shown a better adaptation, he only had mild seasickness for the first two days, and then he can teach his companions to practice English very calmly. A large part of the reason why Orientals find it difficult to learn English is that the two languages are in very different language families, and German and English share a common ancestor, the ancient Germanic language, which in a sense is one of the ancestors of English. Because of these connections, many words have similar pronunciations, and the geographical proximity of the two countries makes it easier to learn from each other because of the close geographical location of the two countries. In just one week, Lynn's team members have made leaps and bounds in their spoken English, which is not enough to help them get past the cross-examination when they encounter the U.S. Border Guard or the police, but it is still very important for those who are new to the United States and plan to stay for a long time.

The previous time because of the "Aryan Ark Project", Lynn was on a common VIIC combat submarine, the facilities on the boat were average, and due to overcrowding, it was quite crowded, so that there was almost no comfort during the voyage. This time the situation was very different, in the conversation with the crew, Lynn confirmed his conjecture, this is indeed an XXI submarine, the last class submarine before the fall of the German Third Reich, and can also be called the most technologically advanced, the most complete facilities, the most outstanding large submarine during World War II. When he was a moderator of the World War II forum, Lynn had a heated discussion with other military fans about the weapon's surname in a technical post, so he was more impressed by its main data. As an underwater hunter, it can reach a maximum speed of 16.8 knots when diving, and the silence effect when sailing at slow speed is also very amazing - it is said that the U-2511 once approached a British destroyer to a range of 500 meters without being detected, but did not attack because it had received the news of the German surrender.

In addition to advanced combat equipment, as a large submarine designed for ocean-going operations, the XXI is also equipped with a good food refrigeration system and a seawater desalination system, which means that the crew can not only ensure nutrition during the long voyage, but also regularly bathe in fresh water and even soak in the bathtub! This is not a gimmick to promote a military product, and during the nearly week-long voyage, Lynn and other Imperial soldiers with a special mission have also felt the benefits of this advanced technology.

In the early morning of June 25, 1945, the officers and passengers on board had no intention of sleeping, and they had arrived on the east coast of the United States. The U.S. Navy's ships were outnumbered, but they were unable to guard the entire length of the East Coast, so much so that the most efficient hunt of German submarine forces during World War II was obtained in this area. Now that the war in Europe has come to an end, the focus of the U.S. [***] forces has shifted to the central and western Pacific Ocean, and the defense of its home east coast has become even weaker. Although he didn't get a chance to see it for himself, Lynn believed that the captain saw in his periscope many targets that were easier to deal with than sheep, but his submarine only carried six life-saving torpedoes, most of which were temporarily converted into beds. The current situation, the mission of this mission, did not allow the unpaid German captain to kill again.

"Confirm the receiving vessel!" The captain said in his hoarse voice, "Maintain a third of the speed and float." ”

The words were so calm, and Lynn, who was about to land on a foreign land, was not so peaceful. After the submarine surfaced, he was the last to board the deck as the deputy commander, blowing the gentle sea breeze in front of him, but he thought of four years ago. "Barbarossa" was launched on June 22, and in the first three days, the German [***] team, which was at the height of its military power, broke through the Soviet border defense line in most areas and rushed into its depth. On those nights, there must have been many young and energetic officers like themselves who looked at the rushing torrent of steel and their hearts were excited, and what a magnificent and beautiful picture of war unfolded before their eyes, and they had not caught up with such a good time. Four years have passed, and the invincible military empire has come to an end, and only a small number of undying remnants of officers and soldiers have retreated to remote and barren hidden bases, thinking that one day they can seize the opportunity to realize the empire. However, Lynn is the one who knows that there is no way out by passively waiting, and between sinking and letting go, he finally chooses the latter...... On the starry and dim sea, a freighter of no more than 4,000 tons and a submarine of nearly 2,000 tons quietly approached, and the appearance and temperament of the two seemed to come from two completely different planets. Under the whispered greeting of the crew, the elite of the empire, who had shouldered the heavy responsibility, carried large bags and small suitcases, and climbed onto the ship with great embarrassment and difficulty like refugees. Last to board again, Lynn turned to look back, and the pitch-black submarine had quickly dived into the water, leaving only a few messy ripples on the calm sea.

"Sir, Interim Commander of the American Task Force von Fernandes. Bernag salutes you on behalf of the entire staff! ”

On the foredeck of the steamer, a stocky short man saluted Bertreum with a duly salute.

"Are all the people there?" Colonel Bertreum asked coldly.

The short man held his chest high like a rooster and replied, "All 20 people are here, and all the necessary items are ready." ”

Bertreum nodded, turned sideways and said, "This is Lynn. Lieutenant Gargo, the deputy commander of the operation, was a night hero who was personally commended by the Führer. ”

The short officer immediately turned 30 degrees to the left and saluted Lynn with a dignified hand.

"Salute to you!"

Lynn just replied with a courtesy, and didn't speak casually.

Bertreum had never been a person who liked to exchange pleasantries, and seeing that Lynn was not going to say anything, he asked the short officer, "Have the necessary procedures for the ship to enter the port have been arranged?" ”

The young and middle-aged man, who was probably a few centimeters taller than the first-class shooter Hem and was wearing a dark suit, also replied with a straight look: "All arrangements have been made, and in the process of entering the port, we need everyone's cooperation to take shelter in the cargo hold." ”

Bertreum said expressionlessly, "Lieutenant Gargo, you take everyone to the cabin!" ”

This cold, no-room tone of command instantly sobered Lynn up - the Emperor was far more than just himself, in this strange area far from the base, Bertreme had unparalleled control, and although he had a few trustworthy team members, he was definitely not capable of confronting this ruthless old intelligence commander at the moment. So, he answered "yes" honestly, turned around and beckoned the team members to take their luggage and walk to the cabin.

From the outside, this is a very ordinary small and medium-sized sea vessel, and its internal setting is still the same. There was a strange smell of mixed smells in the hold, perhaps not so long ago when livestock had been transported between North and South America, or the wheat and corn left in the corners were moldy, and the cargo in the hold took up most of the space, nothing compared to a new, neat submarine.

The two crew members who led the way in walked to a pile of wooden boxes, removed more than a dozen boxes piled up on the outermost side in turn, and then pried up a square wooden board on the floor, pointed to the black hole below, and said: "There is fresh water, candles and toilets in it, and we will signal you from the outside when you enter the port, 3-1-3-1-3, you have to blow out the candles, and you can't make any sound." The tall crew member said as he tapped his fingers on the wooden floor to the corresponding rhythm, and then said, "When it is safe, we will give you the opposite signal, 1-3-1-3-1, which means that the inspection has been passed, and the situation allows us to naturally let you come up, understand?" ”

Such a signal is easy to remember, but this arrangement makes Lynn not interested in any way. At first, he thought that the way to land in the United States would be to send the personnel to the near shore by submarines, and then row to the shore in rubber boats, which was a bit of a 007 flavor, but Bertreme told him with a cold face that none of the German intelligence officers who landed in the United States in this way during the war were able to gain a successful foothold, and most of them lost contact within a few days - it was very likely that they were discovered by American residents along the coast and reported to the police authorities. After much deliberation, he decided to send the intelligence officers directly to the port and follow the cargo as soon as it arrived into the United States. I don't want to, only the goods are grandiose, but the people are the smugglers who can't see the light.

"Let's go, guys!" Lynn stood by the entrance, watching the team members with various expressions of astonishment, confusion, ignorance, etc., enter the dark cabin in turn. Everyone was in place, and after waiting for a long time to see Colonel Burtrim coming, Lynn guessed that the intelligence chief, who had put on a haughty posture immediately after boarding the ship, had arranged a more comfortable position for himself, so he sighed secretly, and went down to the dark cabin full of damp and moldy smell, and the crew really covered the wooden plank, and moved the wooden boxes back to their original places with a bang.

Through the faint light of the candle, Lynn saw the environment clearly, and suddenly felt that "the sky will descend on the people". The dark tank is probably located between the ballast water tank and the bottom cargo tank, and there is about two centimeters of standing water on the floor, and all kinds of small floating objects have turned dark green. Not only that, but because of the existence of the toilet, the relatively closed space is filled with the smell of the toilet, and it is the kind that has not been cleaned for a long time.

In addition to the 28 people who followed him in, there were more than a dozen faces in similar costumes in this dark cabin, presumably intelligence officers drawn from South America. Some of them looked gloomy and capable, looked very young, and did not know the quality and ability of such a group of people - I hope that they will not become a shameful laughing stock in the history of world espionage like the German spies who were sent to the United States earlier.

Seeing that the atmosphere was too dreary, many people frowned, Lynn calmed down, and while the crew had not yet made a silent code, he puffed loudly and said: "Guys, some of us have gone on a long voyage of more than 2,000 nautical miles, from familiar Europe to unfamiliar America, and some from South America in the middle of winter to North America in the middle of summer, and there will be some psychological and physical discomfort, and I know that many people are not optimistic about the prospects of this trip, and even a little pessimistic. I can't guarantee you anything absolutely, because I am your commander, not a liar or a go-getter, but I can only say that if we do not succeed in the United States, thousands of Germans will have to live for a long time in the shadow and misery of defeat, which we must have experienced first-hand in our childhood and youth, and should we let our relatives and future generations suffer again? ”

After a moment's pause, Lynn scanned the crowd with her head held high, and answered the question she had just asked in a sonorous voice: "No, never! As long as we have the strength to fight against this unfair fate – why should we accept defeat when we have the best generals, officers and soldiers in the world, and the best fighters, tanks and submarines in the world? You may think that the hope of imperial revival has nothing to do with our trip to the United States, but if that is the case, I can only feel sorry for you, have you not seen that there is a common culprit behind the defeat of 1918 and our current downfall, that is, the United States! They are shameless, they are hateful, and because we don't know them, we let them do as they please. Now it's our turn to fight back! ”

With Lynn's tone of voice and the intensity of his gestures, the team members from the base and the intelligence officers from South America gradually returned to a straight posture from sitting and standing to standing upright, and in the flickering candlelight, they turned their eyes to Lynn and the young man who imitated the head of the empire in his speech, intentionally or unintentionally. Although some of the words are not pronounced standardly, and are occasionally accompanied by obvious grammatical errors, his impassioned tone makes people ignore these and focus on his understanding of the success or failure of the war and the dissection of the enemy.

"One day, we're going to smash the presidential palace in Washington, and we're going to smash the Empire State Building in New York, and we're going to smash everything this country was proud of, and let them experience the pain and humiliation that we've suffered. I look forward to the day when the day will come, and I look forward to the day when the enemy will never forget it, so that they will tremble at the sight of Germany's prestige, and will not dare to use their brains again. Ladies and gentlemen, there is Boston, our first stop in the United States. We will set up our intelligence stations in this pretentious country, we will gather vital intelligence under the noses of their armies, we will use German wisdom to deal with these enemies who think they are smart, and when a steady stream of timely and important information is sent to our general headquarters, we are not far from the revival of Germany! ”

After such a long and passionate speech, Lynn confidently waited for the enthusiastic response of the crowd. Sure enough, applause rang out in the dark cabin that had just been dull, and some people were shouting "Well said". However, Lynn calmly observed, and the applause did not include the intelligence team directly under Colonel Bertrim, and the old intelligence people from South America also reacted relatively flatly, but Lynn felt that they did not lack recognition of their speeches, but because Germany had sent intelligence personnel to the United States many times before, and they probably regarded the United States as a place of death for intelligence workers, and naturally regarded the United States' counterintelligence work and homeland defense as a terrible power grid. Who can blame the stupidity of their peers and the vigilance of American residents?

It is said that when the Führer was giving speeches in Germany, the wonderful thing was that people often frantically shouted "Please speak again", but this happened to Lynn. The atmosphere was heightened, but the real worries in people's hearts were not dispelled, and after about an hour, a rhythmic tapping signal came from above the dark cabin. As the two candles went out, the only faint light disappeared, and the tense and oppressive atmosphere returned. With her back against the upright, hard bulkheads, Lynn smiled wryly: how similar was this to the situation of the Empire, where the mighty Allied and Soviet armies were preparing to come together to share the victory, and their respective nationals had already been so traumatized by the war that they cherished the coming general peace that they were so precious that it would be easier said than done to provoke war between them. Until the light returns, the elites of the empire can only endure this most torturous but also critical period in this dark chamber that is not easy for outsiders to discover.

Soon after, footsteps sounded in the cargo hold above, and the light seeping through the cracks in the wooden planks could be faintly seen, flickering and flickering, presumably the flashlights of the boarding inspectors, and then the sound of heavy objects being moved. Lynn didn't know much about the procedures for U.S. customs clearance and entry into Hong Kong in this era, and tried to seek advice from Bertrane's officers who had been doing intelligence work for many years during the voyage, but they seemed to have discussed it a long time ago, and no matter how they asked, they only gave very technical answers - should, maybe, consistently, and "rest assured, someone will arrange everything." In fact, in terms of aerial photography, television, and tactical infiltration, the German army has always performed very well, and the SS Gestapo's cleanup at home has also been fruitful, but almost all of the intelligence work carried out abroad has failed, and the only successful case in memory seems to be the rescue of Mussolini - and it is Bertlem's team that has made great contributions, but in addition, They didn't stand out anymore, so much so that Andriy could only cover up the long period of inaction with "almost successful" in his introduction.

can change history, Lynn thought heavily in his heart, hoping that others would have no chance, and it would depend on how much energy his little strong who had been tempered by war could exert himself.
