【Broadcast】Pay attention to "Reading at the starting point", get the first-hand news of 515 red envelopes, and students who have not grabbed red envelopes after the Chinese New Year can show their skills this time.

(Suddenly I saw a monthly pass for QUQU, what are you waiting for?) Let's add more! Today's ten is ready early, brothers, come on! )

In the vast expanse of the sea, the wind swept up the dark clouds.

Between the clouds and the sea, four cruise ships are struggling to sail like four lost young beasts.

Well, this is not the beginning, this is Qin Zhiyuan on his way to Corsica.

Because of the urgency of the situation, Qin Zhiyuan and the others were all given the green light all the way, whether they were taking a train or a cruise ship, and all of them were approved, together with the application for six taels of FT-17 tanks, so Qin Zhiyuan was already floating on the Mediterranean Sea three days later, only 20 nautical miles away from Corsica.

"General, ahead is Corsica, and in about an hour and a half, we will dock in Ajaccio." Captain Jeffrey reported to Qin Zhiyuan.

Jeffrey and his "Boulder" were originally civilian ships, but after the start of the war, the sea capacity of Britain and France was threatened by the submarine warfare of the Germans, and the total tonnage was constantly decreasing. So Jeffrey and his "Boulder" were conscripted into the military and began to serve the French military.

"Thank you, Captain, for a good job, and I think you'll have a military medal when you get back." Qin Zhiyuan did not hesitate to praise.

Although the "Boulder" was requisitioned for military service, Geoffrey did not have military status, so the "Boulder" was not considered an asset of the French military, but could only be regarded as a temporary hire. In the case of Jeffrey and the "Boulder", if the "Boulder" was sunk in the war, it would not be counted as a loss to the French military, so the losses of the French in the First World War were much larger than their book figures, because there were many cases like Jeffrey and the "Boulder" that were not included in the list of losses.

"Hopefully. If there is a military medal, I hope to share it with you. "Jeffrey was generous.

"Thank you, if possible, I can ask you for a drink after docking, I hope you can enjoy it." Qin Zhiyuan was happy to make friends with people with seafaring skills, whether they were naval or not.

"That's my pleasure, General." Jeffrey touched his chest with one hand and half bowed, showing good gentlemanly demeanor.

"Submarines, submarines of the Germans......" a mournful cry came from outside the bridge.

"Raised by a son of a bitch, what's going on?" Jeffrey didn't care about elegance. Jump out of the bridge in three steps and two steps.

About a hundred meters to the left of the Boulder, a German submarine surfaced and was ventilating, just discovered by sailors with binoculars observing the course.

After the start of World War I, the Germans gradually realized the blockade role of submarines in the war and began to vigorously develop submarine forces. The Germans' surface ship forces could not compete with the British, so the Germans launched submarine warfare against British and French ships, especially British and French civilian ships, as long as they were discovered by the Germans, they basically had to sink. This kind of submarine warfare has a tendency to expand in recent times. Regardless of whether they are British or French, as long as they provide transportation of materials for Britain and France, they are in danger of being sunk.

This indiscriminate attack of the Germans caused discontent among neutral countries, especially the United States. There has been a lot of news lately about the Americans going to war, but it has not been confirmed.

The submarine was still in a relatively early stage, and it could only dive for about half an hour before it surfaced to recharge, and the German submarine had apparently not found a fleet of four cruise ships including the Boulder. In the process of resurfacing, it was discovered by the sailors on the Boulder.

"Lean on, lean on......" Jeffrey exclaimed hoarsely.

The distance is so close that all defensive weapons have lost their shooting perspective. That is, the German submarine was in the dead end of the Boulder, which was simply not able to attack.

But the Boulder did not dare to distance itself, because once the distance was opened, the German submarines might attack first, and then the Boulder would be in a catastrophe. The Germans only needed to fire a torpedo to send the Boulder to the bottom of the sea, along with the more than 800 soldiers of the 1st Foreign Legion on board.

So Jeffrey could only choose a submarine close to the Germans, so that even if the Boulder could not attack the German submarine, at least the German submarine would not be able to attack the Boulder.

"Why lean in, are you trying to sink it?" Although Qin Zhiyuan came from a hundred years later, he was not an all-powerful superman, and he didn't know much about naval warfare.

"Sink it? How could it be, I just wanted it to not be able to attack us, and it didn't mean anything else, my Boulder was a merchant ship, and if it collided, maybe we would sink faster. Jeffrey was shocked.

The German submarine has a double-hull structure, the water tank is between the outer layer and the inner layer, even if the shell is damaged for a while and a half, it will not sink, and the Boulder is a standard thin-skinned stuffing, as long as the bottom of the ship is broken, it will definitely sink in minutes.

"And how do you deal with their artillery?" Qin Zhiyuan was anxious.

True, the Germans still had artillery on their submarines, and like the battleships at this time, there was a gun on the aft deck of the submarine, although no one had yet manipulated him at this time, but no one doubted whether this gun was an ornament or not.

"Isn't there still you?" Jeffrey yelled.

", move, move, everyone, carry grenades and rifles, gather on deck immediately, we have work to do." Qin Zhiyuan rolled his eyes widely, and manipulated the intercom to issue orders.

Almost instantly, the warriors streamed out of the cabin, huddled around the side of the ship in a haphazard manner, ready to fight.

At this time, the Boulder was not far from the submarine, and the access to the submarine's control tower could be seen, and someone was climbing out, running to the back deck to prepare to operate the gun.

"Kill him!" Qin Zhiyuan and Jeffrey spoke in unison, and they both felt a strong sense of crisis.

"Phew"

At least a hundred rifles were firing in a volley, and the three Germans who crawled out were instantly beaten into a hornet's nest.

"Lean in, lean in, throw grenades, throw grenades." Qin Zhiyuan is not used to being beaten passively, and if it is possible, he will organize a gang jumping operation.

Zheng Dali's super arm strength came into play again, although there were still seventy or eighty meters away, he threw four Mills grenades in a row, and finally successfully threw one Mills grenade into the passage that had not yet closed the control tower.

When the explosion came, the naked eye could see the black smoke rising from the submarine's control tower, which attracted bursts of cheers, and the soldiers picked up grenades and threw them at the submarine, which was as dense as a torrential rain and hail.

"Go, drive the tanks over and them with tank guns." Qin Zhiyuan preferred the 75mm tank gun to the Mills grenade.

Unlike the historical 37mm tank gun, Qin Zhiyuan's tank has more powerful firepower and more flexible angles.

"It's too low, it's not easy to fight, bring the mortar." Chen Kangjian has an idea.

", it's less than 100 meters now, and the probability of you hitting it is no lower than the probability of hitting us." Qin Zhiyuan disagreed.

"Two, I think, we don't have to fight anymore." Jeffrey said quietly.

The command tower did not climb out, but played a white flag, looking at the appearance of the white flag, it was clearly an underpants!
