Qin Hui was escorted back to the steam boat by British sailors, and as soon as he got on the boat, several sailors surrounded him and punched and kicked Qin Hui, Qin Hui was quickly knocked to the ground, he protected his head with both hands, endured the severe pain, and gritted his teeth without saying a word.

Several sailors were tired, so they each stopped, stood aside and gasped, Qin Hui let go of his hand, stood up straight, spat out a mouthful of blood contemptuously, and raised his head proudly.

An officer walked up to Qin Hui and said in Chinese: "You actually killed our captain, your marksmanship is not bad." ”

Qin Hui sneered, turned his head, and ignored him, and the officer asked, "Who are you and what position do you hold on the submarine?" ”

Qin Hui knew that it was impossible for these Britons to know their true identity, so he said: "I am a trainee on the submarine, and I have no position yet. ”

"Intern?" The officer looked at Qin Hui coldly, his eyes were full of suspicion, but he had no way of knowing if what Qin Hui said was true, so he sneered, "Bring this guy back first, and we'll go and join the big army." ”

The steam boat sailed north and soon joined the British fleet, the British sailors on the steam boat escorted Qin Hui to the Hood ship, and then imprisoned Qin Hui in the utility compartment, Qin Hui thought that the British would interrogate him, but he didn't expect that no one would interrogate him at all, the British just tied his hands behind his back and sent people to keep an eye on him.

I don't know how long it took, the battleship stopped, Qin Hui was taken out of the cabin, and in front of him was a lush island, Qin Hui couldn't help but ask in English, "What kind of place is this?" ”

The sailors who escorted Qin Hui did not answer, and escorted him forward, and soon Qin Hui was escorted to a military camp, which was full of cabins, not tents, indicating that this was a stable base for the British army, not a temporary base.

Qin Hui was taken into a small cabin, and in the cabin sat an Englishman who looked like an officer, Qin Hui recognized at a glance, this Englishman was the British technical adviser - Adriano, when Adriano first came to China, Qin Hui was a cadet of the naval officer academy, interned on a battleship, and met Adriano.

Qin Hui knew that this Adriano must be trying to find out the secrets of the Demon Beast-class submarine from his mouth, and secretly thought, you don't want to know anything from my mouth.

Adriano didn't know Qin Hui, he walked up to Qin Hui and asked, "You said you were a trainee of the Demon Beast-class submarine?" ”

"Yes." Qin Hui's appearance was very calm.

"Even if you are an intern, you will know a lot about the monster-class submarine, let's talk about it, what do you know about the monster-class submarine?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Officer, I don't know anything about the monster-class submarine, I'm just a trainee, and the trainee won't be told any submarine secrets, unless I pass the exam and become an official submariner."

Qin Hui's tone was extremely sincere, Adriano actually believed it a little, his eyes rolled, he waved his hand to call a subordinate, and ordered: "Go and invite Mr. John." ”

"John" is the most common name in the UK, and obviously this Mr. John is using a pseudonym, which makes Qin Hui a little frightened.

Soon that Mr. John walked in, and as soon as Qin Hui saw this person, his heart suddenly cooled, because this person knew Qin Hui's true identity.

This person is a German officer, who once followed the commander of the German fleet, Tirpitz, to visit the monster-class submarine base, and Qin Hui was in charge of the reception, Qin Hui had met this person several times, but Qin Hui no longer remembered the name of this German officer.

The German officer was also stunned when he saw Qin Hui, he stared at Qin Hui's face for a long time, and then said to Adriano: "This person is the captain of the ghost shark boat, the commander of the monster-class submarine formation!" ”

Adriano's eyes almost popped out with excitement, "Mr. John, are you sure?" ”

"Of course, I remember this Qin Hui very clearly, and he still talked to me."

"Alright, Mr. John, thank you, you can go back." ”

John nodded with a smile and walked out, Adriano laughed, "Mr. Qin Hui, it turns out that you are the commander of the Demon Beast-class submarine formation, I am really excited." ”

Qin Hui saw that Adriano had already recognized his identity, and there was no point in pretending to be any longer, so he simply raised his head and said in a cold voice: "That's right, I am the commander of the Demon Beast-class submarine formation, the captain of the Ghost Shark Boat - Qin Hui." ”

"Very good, you are very frank, I appreciate it very much, now, please tell me everything about the design parameters, tactics used, staffing, etc. of the monster-class submarine."

Qin Hui snorted coldly, "Before I say it, I want to figure out a few questions first, can you answer me?" ”

Adriano reached out and made a "please" gesture, "Please." ”

"Okay, first question, how did you sink my submarine?"

Adriano laughed happily when he heard Qin Hui's question, "Mine, I sank your submarine with mine." ”

"Mines?" Qin Hui's face was full of suspicion, "The sea area around Phu Quoc Island is so big, how many mines do you have to deploy to run into a submarine?" ”

"I deployed a lot of mines, many, many mines, of course, not the kind you usually see, but I specially designed and built them, and I called them 'Octopus Mines.'"

"What a nasty name." Qin Hui teased, venting the depression and resentment in his chest, Adriano was very proud, "This kind of mine, there is a tentacle on the top, bottom, front, back, left and right, and the length of each tentacle is about twenty meters, these tentacles are actually fuses, as long as they are touched by a big guy like a submarine, the mine will explode." ”

"With such a fuse, the threat area of each mine is a ball with a diameter of 40 meters, and the probability of hitting a submarine is greatly increased." Adriano laughed excitedly, smug at his masterpiece.

"Aren't you afraid that a mine will be touched by a fish and explode?"

Adriano gave his thumb up, "It is worthy of being the commander of the monster-class submarine formation, thinking about the problem is comprehensive, of course we are afraid that the mine will be touched by the fish, but we have no choice, just touch it, in fact, the fish are very small, and they should not be able to touch those thin fuse lines." ”

Qin Hui: "......"

Adriano said to himself: "Actually, it's nothing to be touched by a fish, at most a few fish will be killed, what we are most afraid of is that the torpedo hits our own warship, I set the depth of the torpedo at forty meters under the water, so our own warship will not touch the mine, but the depth of the mine is very likely to fail, and the mine may rise." ”

Hitting submarines with torpedoes, seems to be an extremely clumsy method, but in the absence of better anti-submarine means, this is the only way, in the era of Lin Fei, during World War I, Britain faced Germany's unrestricted submarine warfare, it used mines, Britain and the Allied armies, a total of more than 70,000 mines in the North Sea, forming the famous "North Sea Mine Curtain", this thunder curtain is really a blind cat hit a dead mouse and sank several submarines.

These mines of the British were laid by the cruisers that came with the battleships, and the battleships that laid the mines also had destroyers sailing out of Singapore, and these battleships parted ways with the two battleships in the waters of Phu Quoc Island, while the Guangwu and Zhaolie Imperial ships did not track and monitor those cruisers and destroyers, but tracked and monitored the two battleships, giving the British battleships the opportunity to lay mines, which was an order that Lin Fei regretted for the rest of his life.

Qin Hui didn't want to watch Adriano continue to be arrogant, and asked directly: "Those small steam ships are not landing reconnaissance ships at all, but ships waiting to capture us, right?" ”

"Neither that's right nor right, searching for and capturing submariners is just one of their tasks, they also have another task, that is, to prepare for landing, we are indeed going to land on Phu Quoc, okay, let's not talk about this, it has nothing to do with the monster-class submarine, now please talk about the monster-class submarine."

"Wait, I have one last question, when you answer my question, I'll tell you about the monster-class submarine."

"Very well, what is the last question, please tell me."

Qin Hui pointed out with his hand, "That German officer, why do you want to help you, you and Germany, but the opponent, Germany and us, are allies." ”

Adriano laughed, "That's right, but you forgot one thing, that is, the ** incident, in the ** incident, Lin Fei was very tough and insisted on executing more than a dozen sailors involved in the case, which cast an indelible shadow on the relationship between the Chinese Empire and Germany, so Germany will not be so firmly an ally of your Chinese Empire." ”

Qin Hui's heart trembled, Britain and France were difficult enough, but now Germany is separated from Germany, maybe when he will stab him in the back......

Qin Hui was thinking about it, Adriano suddenly put away his smile and said in a cold voice: "Mr. Qin Hui, your questions should be finished, now you can tell the secret of the monster-class submarine, right?" ”

Qin Hui smiled nonchalantly, spread his hands, and shrugged his shoulders, "I'm sorry, Mr. Adriano, I don't know anything. ”

Adriano's gaze suddenly became fierce, "I have answered your question, but you don't say anything, what do you mean?" ”

Qin Hui smiled, "I have a lot of secrets about the Demon Beast-class submarine, if I say it, then I will be a traitor, how can I be a traitor." ”

Adriano snorted coldly, "You fell into my hands, I can't help you if you don't say it, I advise you to cooperate with me honestly, otherwise I will torture you very badly." ”
