Chapter 760 - 761: Give me the chance for revenge
"My Führer, I heard...... An SS submarine supply ship was sunk? Is it true?" At the end of the funeral, Prion followed Accardo down the hard docks. For as long as human beings can remember, the waters of the North Atlantic have only been cold and dark, and even on the docks by the sea, they can be infected by this feeling and involuntarily wrap their coats tightly.
Submarine warfare is not invincible; first of all, the tonnage of submarines limits the amount of grain and fresh water that can be carried, so while submarines cut off the enemy's supply lines, the enemy can also use various means to cut off the supply of submarine forces -- forcing submarines to return frequently is also an important way to restrain the enemy's submarine warfare.
The German Navy's submarine supply ships became a breakthrough for the British Navy to be able to fight back. So, as mentioned earlier, the war was not all smooth sailing for Germany, at least in the North Atlantic, and they suffered a lot against their old enemy, the British Royal Navy.
Although most of the ocean-going resupply operations ended in success, the cost of this was heart-wrenching. At least 40 submarine supply ships were sunk in the Atlantic, not much less than the sunken submarines. What is even more tragic is that the soldiers on these submarine supply ships are not protected by international law because they fly the flag of a neutral country to disguise their identity. They were not treated as prisoners, they had to die in battle.
"If you're asking about the supply ship that Curvin Dyck is on, the one that supplies your submarine last before you return, I can only tell you with regret that yes. Accardo replied casually as he walked forward.
"It's been 27 days, I replenished the ammunition for the X-33 boat team once, and then I received the Neptune code, and I came here to rendezvous with a top-secret submarine, and I didn't expect to meet you here. It was as if the young captain was by his side at this moment, and his words rang in Prien's ears again.
"Where else can we go if we don't come here? Everyone is dedicating their strength to the Motherland, but we are being asked to stay at home and wait for the news of the victory at the front. This in itself is unfair to us. "He's a young man with ideals and ambitions, a nice young man.
"No one is immune to this war. For the sake of the Führer, we vowed to fight until the last moment, not for glory, not for anything else, but only for the day when we would stand in the sun and not be pointed out by our own brother that we had won the most cruel war by our own father and brother. "War, it is true that no one is immune.
"Like you, I swore in front of the flag that I would fight for my homeland, for the Führer, and he led us out of the shadow of defeat so that we could stand up straight. Since he needs our help, we will help him do what he needs!" Now, can you see that the Führer, who brought you to die in glory, is standing on the shore of the North Atlantic, where you have died?
The young captain's voice and smile came back to Prien's mind, and it was not fair that these young Germans had died at sea, and that all they had been armed with was a pitiful cannon.
"They are all very young, my Führer. Prion looked at Accardo and said in a slightly trembling tone, "These children shouldn't be involved in this war. We have become criminals and executioners, and it doesn't matter if we need to, each of us will kill more people, but please don't let the children go into battle, it's too cruel for them. ”
Accardo glanced at Prien, the unsmiling submarine captain who didn't expect Accardo to look at him, looking a little cramped. Accardo turned slightly, stretched out his hand and patted Prion on the shoulder, and said: "The news just came that a few days ago the British announced that all young people over the age of 17 must be conscripted into the army without a national amnesty. ”
He looked to the far east, and then continued: "The Soviets have just issued a mobilization order, requiring men over the age of 16 to report to their localities and enlist in the army, except for workers or young people who are studying such professions. ”
After saying this, he looked at Prien again: "We are still carrying out the mobilization order for conscription over 18 years old, and in fact, our opponents have already begun to send your children to the front. These kids are fighting our soldiers with guns, and the bullets they shoot are just as deadly. ”
"I beg you to end this war as soon as possible. Prion looked at Accardo and said in a solemn tone: "This war of revenge has been fought so far, and we have accomplished all our goals, so why do we still insist on fighting? Isn't it better to shake hands with the enemy and make peace?"
"Believe me, Lord Prien, if these hostile nations are willing to make peace with us, then we really can't ask for it. Accardo looked helplessly at the sea in the distance, and replied to Prion beside him, "No one wants us to end the war like this, neither our enemies nor our friends. ”
In fact, this is the root of the human character, no one will think about ending the war when it is won, because burning, killing and looting for nothing is really a wonderful way to get rich quickly. So anyone wants to gamble more, hoping to win the final victory when they are lucky. But after every victory, people will continue the war, because they are sure that they will continue to win the next war.
The Mifu coupons issued by Germany are in fact overdrawn the government's credit and coinage, and a large amount of money is borrowed from the future in advance, so the powerful chariot of Germany can only move forward, and no one can stop its rolling. Once Germany was allowed to stop the war, the last of the mefus would not be repaid, and the entire country's economy would collapse.
The people inside were not willing to end the war, and the allies were the same. Italy and Turkey have not reached any intention of cooperation on the division of the Balkans, and they are both ready to use the Eastern Front and the Middle East as the battlefield of a new round of competition, ending the war at this time?
Of course, Britain, which has suffered losses, the United States, which is now becoming stronger and stronger, and the government of Charles de Gaulle in exile in France, are not willing to easily admit defeat. They are still waiting for Germany to be dragged down by the scale of the war, for Germany to finish for itself, or for the allies to be dragged into the water and collapse on its own.
And in the face of the temporary stalemate of the war situation on the Eastern Front, the Soviets were still dreaming of winning the final victory in the war with the support of the United States, how could it be possible to sign a peace treaty with Germany at this time and give up a large part of the country's territory?
What makes Accardo even more unwilling is that the current war situation is still a long way from his minimum demand for peace. Rommel's Afrika Korps had not yet advanced into the Middle East and seized the vital oil fields of the Middle East, nor had the forces on the Eastern Front captured the North Caucasus and destroyed the war potential of the Soviet Union - what was the difference between suing for peace and giving the enemy time to breathe and commit suicide at this time?
"Then, my Führer, I will set sail again tomorrow, entrust me with the most dangerous mission, and I will bring victory to you. "Prien, of course, knows that unilateral peace is just a matter of casual thought, and that only by really beating the enemy to death, and fighting despair can real peace be won. And as a naval soldier of the Third Reich, his mission was to fight, to fight until the moment when all the enemies fell.
"Colonel Prien, don't be in too much of a hurry. I will do my best to end this war as soon as possible, and you, as long as you do your best. Accardo laughed, withdrew his gaze from the sea, and looked at his ace captain, "No one in this world can carry too much, you are so, and so am I. Take a break and get ready for a better fight. ”
"Yes, my Führer! But the young officer you are talking of, an SS officer named Kowen Dyck, I would like to pay my respects, and then give me revenge for his vengeance. Prion stood in front of Accardo like a knight, and he only wanted to do something for the young officer now, like help him win the victory of his homeland, and Prion felt that he should do so.
"So I need people like you, only if the German soldiers become good soldiers like you, then the war in Germany will end soon. Accardo didn't stop any longer, turned and walked to his car: "I'll let Gascoll get the information you need, the names of a few warships, it's not too difficult to investigate." Just wait, I'll give you this chance to avenge your friend. ”
"Long live the Führer!" Prien saluted, his navy dress swaying in the bleak sea breeze, making his whole body look so thin. But his figure is so tall in the hearts of all those who know him, because he is the submarine ace, the battleship killer Prion.
Accardo got into his car and ended his trip to the Netherlands. He drove to the airport, where he was ready to leave and return to the Eastern Front. After all, it seems that there is a greater need for the Führer, and there is a greater need for Accardo to be in charge.
There weren't many people at the airport to see them off, Army General Keitel and big businessman Frank Ellstoner. There was also a shy and beautiful little girl standing next to him, and Accardo smiled and waved to the little girl, and stepped onto his plane. The moment the hatch closed, he heard the little girl's shout, and the crisp voice was beautiful: "I will definitely become the best actor!"
