In the gently undulating waves, a black periscope is quietly spinning forward.

In the dimly lit compartment of the submarine, Dönitz was slightly anxiously turning the lever in his hand, scanning back and forth in Kronstadt's inner harbor. Somehow, he never saw the Rurik II battlecruiser that Russia had ordered from Britain in 1907; The submarine circled the anchorage of the military port, but the "King of the Baltics", who was large and had the iconic triangular mast of the British battle cruiser, did not appear before his eyes.

Before leaving Kiel, the admiral of the naval command repeatedly told the captains of the submarines, including Dönitz, who were involved in the defense of the Gulf of Finland that if they could successfully infiltrate the Russian naval base, they would first launch a torpedo attack on the Rurik II. And as a leader of the younger generation, Dönitz also fully understood the reason why the Admiralty issued this directive. This improved battlecruiser from the British Indefatigable class has superior combat power to its British counterpart, and in the Baltic Sea, where German dreadnoughts have disappeared, the Rurik is undoubtedly the most powerful top presence; With a crushing advantage in speed, the Russian battle cruisers were able to come and go freely in the Baltic Sea, posing a huge potential threat to the normal operations of the German Navy!

However, at this time, Dönitz could not find the figure of this number one target. After a long moment, he finally sighed softly, a look of regret on his face. For unknown reasons, the Rurik did not anchor at the Kronstadt military port; Dönitz regretted that he could only choose a slightly inferior ship to attack. After some observation, he finally aimed his periscope at the two "Pavel I" class quasi-dreadnoughts docked side by side.

At the beginning of 1903, the British and American powers began to equip their battleships with powerful secondary guns to counter the increasingly powerful loading cruisers. At that time, Nicholas II was looking forward to the future. He immediately ordered his own navy to build a number of battleships of the same type. Two Pavel I-class ships were born. At the time of design, the class was the most powerful battleship to crush all the active ships of the Great Powers: its standard displacement was as high as 17,400 tons, its speed was 17.5 knots, and its armament was identical to the German-made Borodino class in terms of firepower and layout, with four 305 mm guns and eight 254 mm secondary guns identical to the German-made Borodino class, and a significant portion of the armor was significantly thickened to 8.5 inches (216 mm) on the former. Since the shells of the time were not capped, the Russian designers were able to ensure that the important parts of the ship were protected from any attack.

However, there is always a huge gap between reality and strength. Due to the sharp increase in the tonnage of the ship, it was difficult for Russia's weak shipbuilding industry to support it; The subsequent Russian Revolution of 1905 brought the construction of the two ships to a standstill. By the time the Russians had managed to build these two ships in 1910, the navy had already entered the era of super-dreadnought. These two scum ships of comparable tonnage to dreadnought suddenly became out-and-out super tragedies. Despite this, the Russian Navy, desperately short of warships, was hungry; Immediately after the completion and commissioning of the two "Advance Dreadnoughts", together with the Rurik battle cruiser, they formed the absolute main core of the Russian Baltic Fleet.

The slight honk of the motor drove the two propellers of the U39 to rotate quietly in the seawater, and after a short time, Dönitz commanded the submarine to touch a place less than 1,000 meters away from the Russian battleship. At this distance, the superstructure of the Russian battleship was already faintly visible, and the first and second twin main guns carried on the head and tail were like behemoths crawling in the night. Although they could only attack secondary targets outside Rurik, the entire crew of the U39 was still full of excitement, after all, they could take out a large capital ship with only a few torpedoes. This kind of lucrative trade is almost impossible to happen at any time after that!

"Torpedoes No. 1, 2, and 3 are ready!" In the dimly lit and cramped command module, the voice of one from another cabin was incomparably clear. Kronstadt is not a natural deep-water port. The relatively shallow water depth made it possible for the sunken warship to be salvaged and repaired, so Dönitz decided to use all three torpedoes in the bow to fire a salvo at a target, so as to completely remove the battleship from the Russian naval fleet. Hearing this voice, Dönitz's heart couldn't help but start pounding, he took a deep breath, and dispelled the inexplicable emotion of the first real combat attack in his heart with a loud command: "The bow torpedo is aimed at the target on the left, and immediately all of them are volleyed!" ”

"Khooth!" As the torpedo crew struggled to pull the mechanism, three torpedoes up to 6 meters long burst out of the pitch-black torpedo tubes one after another; They stirred up a large amount of white water foam in the sea, and rushed towards the distant target at a speed of 35 knots like a comet. As a new weapon of the German Navy, which was only installed in 1911, the G/6D torpedo has a terrifying charge of 164kg of TNT mixed with Hexanite high explosives (its lead tank expansion value is 2.5 times that of TNT).

With the sudden launch of three torpedoes, the submarine with a length of nearly 60 meters also began to turn at full speed underwater; The U39 also had a torpedo tube in its stern, and it was going to attack another battleship, the "St. Andrew". Listening to the ticking of his pocket watch, Dönitz quietly counted the time in his mind; When he counted to the 58th second, a loud explosion of thunder suddenly came from outside, instantly filling the entire internal area of the submarine!

"Boom! Rumble! At the same time, two loud and deafening noises were heard outside the boat. Dönitz hurriedly looked through the observation port, only to see that the target thousands of kilometers away had been blown into a sea of flames, and the huge steel battleship was tilting sharply to the side at a speed visible to the naked eye. The submarine was only halfway through its turn, and the deck of the Russian battleship had already touched the surface of the sea. A moment later, a dazzling purple-red light suddenly burst out from the inside of its hull, and it was as if a sun had suddenly appeared on the sea, and the sky and the sea were bright!

"Plug your ears!" Dönitz screamed, clasping his ears tightly with his hands, his mouth wide open. A moment later, an unimaginable wave of terror swept over like a hurricane tsunami; Even from a distance of a thousand meters, the German sailors still felt that the submarine was trembling slightly!

"All three torpedoes hit the target, and the ammunition depot exploded during the capsizing of the Russian battleship!" Torpedo chief Leo, who snatched the periscope, was the first to judge the situation and said loudly in an excited and ecstatic voice. The rest of the crew also came to their senses in his rough voice, and celebrated their first victory with a big smile and a hug of ecstasy, and the whole submarine was thrown into a sea of cheers. Dönitz squeezed away the torpedo commander who had been nostalgic in front of the Vulcian observation port, only to see that the Russian battleship had completely disappeared, leaving only some large pieces of debris still floating on the surface of the sea and burning, and from time to time the shattered steel that had been blown up to the sky fell back into the sea with a bang, causing a monstrous splash of water rushing upwards. Seeing this, Dönitz couldn't help but wave his fist excitedly; The former dreadnought, designed and built in 1903, was really unable to withstand the thunderous bombardment of 3 heavy submarine-launched torpedoes, and was completely destroyed in just one shot! He patted Leo on the shoulder and said hesitantly, "Old man, there's another target, let's use the torpedo on the ass to give it another shot!" ”

In the opulent and luxurious villa room, Kolev, who was like a ball of meat, was rolling repeatedly on the soft and graceful carcass of the young woman; The roar of heavy excitement and the soft moaning of the waves sounded from time to time, and the already delightful smell in the air was blended into a blood-pumping audio-visual atmosphere.

"General, don't stop...... Well, you've killed someone......" The young woman said in a coquettish voice with three points of pleasure and seven points of contrived voice, coupled with the high nose bridge unique to white people, it was the big-nostriled acting star of a certain island country in the future. The fat man panted like an ox, and his face showed a conqueror's smile of victory; The young woman was overjoyed when she saw this, and it seemed that she could really sell it for a good price this time!

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Suddenly there were three thunderous noises in the distance, and the fat man's body shook, and his brain, which was surging with blood, couldn't help but sober up in an instant. An ominous thought swelled up in his mind, could it be that something had happened to the Kronstadt military port under his jurisdiction?

"General, what's wrong with you, hurry up and come in, people still want to ......" The young woman's face was pink, and her slender and delicate body kept moving back and forth. was teased by the person under him, and the lust in the fat man's brain once again pressed his doubts, he laughed lewdly, and then continued to devote himself to the fight with the young woman. And less than a minute later, the distant harbor suddenly burst into a purple-red glow that was even more dazzling than the scorching sun; Looking through the window of the room, a large area of debris can be faintly seen scattering like the fragments of firecrackers after the explosion!

A few seconds later, a thunderous tsunami swept through; The fat man was like being splashed with a basin of cold water on his head, and he was instantly impotent. The scale of such a terrifying explosion is not at all caused by a small fight, and there must be something big wrong with the military port!

After a while, there was another muffled thunderous sound in the distance, like a heavy hammer bombarding the fat man's heart. His heart was agitated, and he immediately jumped up from his bed, and then picked up his clothes under the resentful eyes of the young woman, and rushed out of the room like a bull. There are a few warehouses in the military port, but it is not easy for him to intercept the embezzlement, if something happens, it will be a big loss! (To be continued......)
