"It's finished in front, a lot of water ingress and the port side reports four compartments flooding."

"Boiler Room No. 3 leaks."

"The pressure valve is locked, and cold water is injected to prevent explosions."

"Someone is wounded, medic."

When Chen Yuqiu got up again, his ears were already filled with such sounds, and the deck began to deviate to the left little by little, which made everyone understand that the ship would definitely not be able to be saved. Although the pilot ship was not equipped with any equipment, it had a lot of drawings and materials, so he hurriedly grabbed the first mate who had not yet recovered: "Send a signal to the flagship, the pilot ship has been heavily damaged and flooded, and the data is being rescued!" Fill the starboard compartment with water to keep your balance as much as possible, and order everyone to abandon ship. ”

The first mate saw that he even came out with the verbal language of the naval flagship, and hurriedly asked: "Captain, you." ”

"I'm going to snatch the information out, there is my navy dream in it!" Chen Yuqiu rushed towards the storage room with a determined expression. In the storage room are neatly 800 suitcases wrapped in tarpaulins, all of which are the most urgently needed drawings and materials for the manufacture of high-end industrial equipment in China, as well as the design drawings of German ships and more than 1,000 books of various kinds.

"Captain, how do you move these? The lifeboat can't fit so much. ”

"Strung with hemp rope, these boxes can be waterproof, hang on the lifeboat and drag them away!"

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, everyone lined up in a row to carry the boxes to the deck at a rapid pace, and a few bundles of twine had been brought to string them together, but before they could all be moved, the sea water spread out of the various compartments. Soak the top of your feet quickly. Seeing that the sea water was rising faster than expected, waist-deep in the blink of an eye, and the temperature was extremely low and biting, so Chen Yuqiu also knew that if he didn't leave, he was afraid that no one would fall off, so he hurriedly stuffed the two boxes to the comrades next to him and shouted: "Go, go!" ”

"Captain, you."

"I'll move another box. Get out of here. ”

After Chen Yuqiu finished speaking, he took a sharp breath and plunged into the biting seawater, and at that moment he felt that his blood could not flow, but in order to rescue more information. Still gritting his teeth and rummaging through. He had placed each of the boxes here with his own hands, and of course he knew which ones were most important, so he set his sights on the interior drawings of the German York-class battlecruisers. The York-class battlecruiser was a new type of battlecruiser that was not built in Germany. Larger and better protection than the improved Makensen class, even exceeding the standard of the British Queen-class battleships! So the improved drawings were all packaged and bought. Considering that it is easy to destroy all of them on one ship, he loaded the turret shaft design and construction drawings and power compartment layout drawings here.

For the sake of the battleship dream shared by all people in the navy, he vigorously opened the upper box, and when the two large suitcases that were tightly wrapped appeared, he immediately unfastened the belt and tied them together in ecstasy, dragging the suitcases and trying to walk towards the deck.

When he risked his life to rescue the data, Bingwen took the opportunity of the wind and waves to reduce and quickly approached here with the icebreaker.

Liu Mingzhao stood beside him, holding a thick list of goods in his hand, and there was a kind of distress behind his glasses: "There are 2 ships that have not been avoided." On the 7th ship, there are two hydraulic presses, a set of 250 steel plate hot rolling mills, a total of 11 sets of equipment and 670 boxes of data drawings, and on the 16th ship is a large marine diesel engine of MAN, a duralumin alloy cold rolling mill for the airship skeleton, and a total of 22 sets of linkage crankshaft lathes and 833 boxes of drawings. Chen Yuqiu's pilot boat was also seriously flooded, and they are organizing self-rescue. ”

"Stop the rescue!" Since waking up from being scolded by Hakan, Bingwen seems to be a different person. said: "It's too cold outside, and once you fall into the water, you can't even hold on for a few minutes!" If the signal data drawings are gone, you can still find a way to let him abandon the ship first to ensure the safety of the personnel. ”

"It's sent, they replied." Liu Mingzhao raised his head and pointed out. A thousand meters away, the cold wind brought a ** sea water onto the pilot ship that was almost leveling the sea, and dozens of lifeboats next to it were dragging five or six hundred data suitcases and trying to trek this way. At the top of the tall mast behind them. The traffic light was still flashing, and there was only one line of words that translated.

"Rescuing materials."

"Come out! Get the hell out of here! Chen Yuqiu screamed wetly, blushing and dragging the stuck suitcase out, and when the suitcase was finally pulled out, he almost fell down weakly. After bending down to catch a few breaths, he opened the hatch and walked out with his hand on the handrail.

"Yuqiu, it's Chen Yuqiu, he didn't die fast, fast!" Under Bingwen's strict order, the sailors saw that the sea water had almost closed the cabin, but Chen Yuqiu did not come out for a long time, thinking that he had been martyred, so they had already left in the lifeboat. Now when they suddenly saw him come out, everyone immediately shouted and screamed excitedly, and several ships immediately rowed back to try to rescue. Seeing that his comrades-in-arms were going to venture back, Chen Yuqiu hurriedly picked up a piece of hemp rope, tied one end to the suitcase, and threw the end of the rope to the lifeboat with all his strength. When the end of the rope landed accurately on a lifeboat, and the suitcase carrying the dream of a naval battleship slid towards the lifeboat little by little, he fell limply and slumped on the already submerged deck.

After being filled with too much seawater, the icebreaker began to make a terrible creaking sound, a large number of whirlpools began to appear around the hull, and the lifeboat had to be stopped to ensure safety, and many people threw ropes in the hope that he would catch it. But Chen Yuqiu knew very well that he was already soaked and would die at any time at this temperature, no one could survive in the seawater at this temperature, and the action just now had exhausted his last strength, and he couldn't hold the rope at all, not to mention that he could already feel that his heart was slowing down, and his blood was gradually frozen.

"It's a pity that there are still more than 100 boxes that haven't been rescued. If the Boss, the York-class battlecruiser, is built, remember to burn me a few pictures. He raised his eyelids and looked at Bingwen, who was standing on the deck commanding the rescue, and his last thoughts were forever frozen in his brain.

In the lens of the telescope, Chen Yuqiu, a second lieutenant from Guangxi who was still particularly afraid of the cold, was now like an ice sculpture that stood still, and the frost instantly crawled from his arm up all over his cheeks, eyelashes, and hair. Slowly whitening and hardening. His hands were frozen with the steel pipe, and he didn't let go even when the ship sank. Bingwen slowly put down the telescope and solemnly raised his right arm. Everyone who saw this scene saluted solemnly, which is a portrayal of the young generation of Chinese naval personnel fighting the sea and challenging themselves.

He wasn't the first, and even less the last.

Hakan walked over, looked at Chen Yuqiu, who was sinking with the ship like an ice sculpture, silently took a white silk scarf from his pocket, prayed according to Bavarian tradition, and threw the silk scarf into the sea to bid him farewell. After doing all this, he patted Bingwen and Liu Mingzhao, whose eyes were ruddy: "This is the iceberg area. We must leave immediately. ”

********

Today is a day of small-scale discussion at the Paris Peace Conference.

In the past, every time Yang Qiu read this history, he would be surprised and stunned by its half-year-long conference process, and felt that the meeting was long and protracted and even boring. After experiencing it and participating in it, I finally understood why this happened, because there was no opponent.

After World War II. Because of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact, the interests were quickly divided into two factions, and the goal was clear and clear, but now Germany and Austria have fallen, and Lenin has not yet become a climate, so Britain and France have lost their goals at once. The United States is an ally, Italy and Japan are allies, and even China has become an ally with outstanding contributions. It is sad for Dugu to seek defeat, and if there is no opponent, he can only compete with himself, just like Zhou Botong's left and right fights, so Britain and France dismantled Taiwan, Britain and the United States fought and merged, and Sino-Japanese cross-eyed and so on began to be staged.

As the conference gradually came under the control of Britain, France, and the United States. China, Italy and Japan were squeezed into the second tier, while small countries such as Siam were even third-tier and fourth-tier or even simply packed home. Just like the Republic of China in history, no one here will listen to them at all. So Yang Qiu also spent a comfortable time. But today's meeting was different, in addition to Lloyd George personally invited, it also included Italy and Japan. This shows that Britain is about to have a final showdown. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Excellency Prime Minister." In the former Royal Library on the third floor of the Palace of Versailles, a small hexagonal table is placed. When Yang Qiu and his delegation arrived, they saw that Yoshiichi Tanaka and George Lloyd seemed to be saying something, and because Wilson had the flu, he was replaced by U.S. Secretary of State Lansing.

Lloyd George was handsome and extraordinary, although he was not very happy with the proximity between China and France and China and the United States. But he still shook Yang Qiu's hand very warmly: "I am also very happy to meet you, and I hope that you will visit the United Kingdom at the appropriate time, our British Empire is very concerned about the changes in the Far East." ”

"There's going to be a chance."

The relaxed greetings between the two like old friends made Tanaka Yoshiichi a little hot, especially Yang Qiu's fluent language advantage that did not need to be translated at all worried him, for fear that Zhongying would suddenly walk into the ship that capsized Japan. Yang Qiu was also quietly paying attention to him, and when he saw him pricking up his ears, a hint of teasing suddenly rose in his heart, and he deliberately raised his voice and asked Lloyd George: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I heard that your country's Admiralty is considering selling a few old warships?" Our country happens to need to train naval personnel, so it is better to sell us 5 ships. ”

5 ships!

Yoshiichi Tanaka and several Japanese representatives have their jaws dropped! How many capital ships does Japan have? 2 Kurama-class ships that can barely squeeze into the main force, 2 Hanoi-class ships that have already aged, 4 Kongo-class, 2 Fuso-class and 2 Nagato-class ships that have just started construction, and the Navy's 88th Fleet plan is still 4 ships short! Although there are still a lot of Fuji, Shikishima-class, Satsuma and a Tsukuba-class Ikoma, they are all former dreadnoughts and have long been confirmed to be unable to participate in the main battle, so this time they gritted their teeth and decided to buy a few German capital ships even if they bought them. But I haven't seen a shadow on my side, but China has already opened its mouth, and it wants 5 ships in one go! Even Lu Zhengxiang and Song Ziqing, who were following Yang Qiu, almost fell in love, a few days ago, Ye Zugui was kicked out of the study by Yang Qiu because of the quarrel that he had to buy two battleships, why did he turn around and buy it again? There are 5 more at a time! Lloyd George also glared at him, buying and selling capital ships is not a trivial matter, how can it be so direct! Have you made a lot of money in the past few years? France and Italy also began to heat up, secretly wondering whether to take the opportunity to sell the Austro-Hungarian combined forces to China, while Lansing thought that Yang Qiu was afraid of Japan's Nagato-class battleships, so he decided to take the road of winning by numbers.

Yang Qiu didn't seem to see the strange eyes around him, and took the roll call very seriously: "The New Zealand, the Australia, the Lion, the Royal Princess and the Agincourt, each 1.2 million pounds, can pay in cash!" Do you think you can? ”

Cash?! Mamma Mia, Lloyd George really had the urge to nod his head immediately...... (。 If you like this work, () vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
