Chapter Seventy-Two: Passage
Reinhardt considered himself an excellent Royal Navy, born into a noble family, and his grandparents and grandchildren have served in the Royal Navy of the British Empire for three generations, both in terms of family education and his own upbringing, he has proved himself to be an excellent Royal Navy officer.
Otherwise, he would not have become a destroyer captain of the Royal Navy at the age of thirty, the Royal Navy of the British Empire is not comparable to the grass platform team of the Brazilian Navy, and the reason why the captain of the Brazilian Navy can be the captain must have a good father.
Becoming the captain of a destroyer at such a young age, isn't this a matter of careless human life? How could such a person lead a destroyer to victory over the Germans.
But the reality is, very slap in the face, that damn Brazilian turtle can always find enemies that can't be found, and can easily eliminate the enemy.
And in the Royal Navy of the British Empire, an excellent destroyer captain is always slipped from under his nose by the enemy. Finally snatched an enemy from the hands of the Brazilian turtle, and even capsized in the gutter, and needed to rely on the Brazilian turtle to rescue.
After being brought to the House by the Brazilians, the House did not immediately take further action against herself, but no one paid any attention to herself, as if she was simply trying to imprison herself. This is simply an insult to the Royal Navy of the British Empire.
It's a pity that the form is stronger than the person, he is indeed a loser, and he has become a bait used by the enemy to trap friendly soldiers, and he can understand that the Brazilians will imprison themselves and others, this is really rubbing his face on the ground!
While Reinhardt was still grieving himself, a Brazilian officer came in and interrupted his train of thought.
"Mr. Reinhardt, our captain, Commander Fang Lang, please come over."
Reinhardt noticed that this damn bastard had stopped calling him a captain, was that the authorities had decided to remove him from the captaincy!
Soon, Reinhardt followed the officer's guidance to the small conference room of the warship. The officer stepped forward and knocked on the door, only to hear a voice from inside, "Please come in!" ”
The officer pushed open the door and ushered Reinhardt inside. Reinhardt saw two people sitting inside, both of whom were his classmates. We all know each other.
When Fang Lang saw Reinhardt coming in, he didn't greet him, but said directly:
"Major Reinhardt, please be seated! In the case of the Harry, I need you to give me a full explanation of the situation, so please make sure that it is true.
Because I don't say it, I believe you will be able to understand that I will definitely have to report this situation to the Allied commander. It is believed that both the Allies and the British Royal Navy need a complete investigation report.
Of course, this report will not be issued by me, and the reason I am asking you now is because I suspect that there is still an enemy U-boat hiding in the nearby waters, and I need to find answers from you. We hope you will be able to tell us the truth. ”
Looking at Fang Lang and De la Torre in front of him, Reinhardt knew that Fang Lang was right, such a serious problem, he might even be sent to a military court.
Although he has always looked down on the Brazilian turtles in front of him, he has always felt that these turtles don't understand what naval warfare is at all. But now reality has slapped his arrogance and swept him to the ground.
It can even be said that his fate is in the hands of the yellow man in front of him, and he can't help but lower his arrogant head and let go of his noble aristocratic status.
Maybe the person in front of him said a few kind words to the allies for himself, and with his family's background in the Royal Navy of the British Empire, this matter can pass quickly!
So, he began to correct his attitude, and very formally saluted Fang Lang and De la Torre with a British military salute, and said in a sincere tone:
"Major Fang, Captain de la Torre, first of all, thank you for the rescue of the Harry, and for saving me personally. I can't be more grateful!
I apologize for the loss and damage caused to you by the Harry being a trap to trap you. But, no matter what, please believe me, I vouch for my family's honor, and it is not my will at this time! ”
Hearing Reinhardt's full of official tone and diplomatic rhetoric, Fang Lang stretched out his hand impatiently and interrupted:
"Major Reinhardt, we are soldiers, I hope you can answer my question directly, we are not out of danger now, I need to know how the Harry fell."
Seeing Fang Lang's expression, Reinhardt was a little embarrassed. But he also had to tell what happened according to Fang Lang's request.
It turned out that after Reinhardt led the Harry to snatch the task assigned to Fang Lang by the command ship, he happily went to the sea area where the enemy situation was discovered. At first, the Harry did not find the enemy ship.
However, after learning the lesson of the last time, the Harry did not directly give up the search. Instead, learning from the House's approach, he went directly to the sea where the signal disappeared and dropped two depth charges.
They really blew up the enemy ships that were in a silent state. Everyone was ecstatic to see the close merit and wanted to continue to blow up and sink the enemy ships.
As a result, the enemy ship surfaced completely out of the box. Just as the Harry was about to use naval guns to blast the opponent into slag, the opponent directly raised the white flag.
This made Reinhardt even more ecstatic, where is the credit for sinking the enemy ship as much as the credit for capturing the enemy ship! Not to mention how much there is worth studying on a U-boat, just say that the radio and code book on the boat, as long as they are complete, this credit can directly promote him to the next level.
Reinhardt did not hesitate to agree to the surrender of the enemy ship, and immediately sent his own crew aboard the ship to accept the surrender to the French. However, the opposing officer said that Reinhardt had insulted his honor, and he only agreed to surrender to the captain of the Harry.
It is not acceptable to be disarmed directly by creeps. Unexpectedly, the Germans on the other side are also aristocrats like themselves, and they are still following the tradition of the aristocracy, everyone is an aristocrat, and they should indeed be treated with the same status as each other.
Therefore, Reinhardt directly agreed with the other party to accept the other party's surrender by conducting a simple surrender ceremony on the Harry according to the tradition of the nobility.
Everything went according to plan, but just as Reinhardt was about to take over the opponent's weapon, an accident happened.
I don't know where a torpedo came from and fired directly at the stern of the Harry, and the bridge of the Harry, which was accepting the surrender of the enemy ship, was completely uncommanded, and I watched as the torpedo hit the tail rudder.
Then, the enemy who surrendered directly resisted, and the opposing commander directly hijacked Reinhardt and threatened Harry to surrender, otherwise he would order another submarine to sink Harry directly.
Originally, Reinhardt was very tough and directly refused the enemy's unreasonable demands, and for the honor of the Royal Navy, he would rather sink with the Harry. However, the enemy directly shot the head of the deputy captain next to him.
When the red and white object splashed on Reinhardt's head on Mr. Vice Captain, Reinhardt had to admit that he was scared and timid. However, in order to preserve the honor of the Royal Navy, he still refused the enemy's request with trembling legs.
The cruel enemy did not hesitate, and without even saying hello, he directly shot Reinhardt in the leg. The sharp pain in his leg completely destroyed all of Reinhardt's strength.
After a huge psychological struggle, considering that if he did not surrender, another submarine might directly sink Harry, for the safety of the lives of all the soldiers on the ship, the great Captain Reinhardt, after repeatedly weighing the pros and cons.
agreed that as long as the brave German navy could guarantee and give him the treatment of nobility matching, then he was willing to lay down his arms and surrender to the German navy with dignity.
No amount of fanciful reinstatement Reinhardt may have said and how brave and fearless he portrayed himself could not change the fact that he had surrendered to the German Navy.
Fang Lang directly stretched out his hand to interrupt his chatter and said:
"In other words, there are indeed two German U-boats in the vicinity, right?"
"Yes, if it weren't for this damn sinister villain, hiding in the sea and suddenly hitting the tail rudder of the Harry, I would never have done such an dishonorable thing."
"Did you see him? Has he ever surfaced? Do you remember where it was? ”
"Ugh! Well, after we surrendered, I was imprisoned, and they didn't treat me like a nobleman at all, but kept me with the soldiers. ”
"Stop, I don't want to know this, I just want to know, do you know the location of the enemy ship!"
"Ugh! All right! I don't know, in which direction the torpedo came from, I haven't had time to find out. ”
Fang Lang didn't want to continue to entangle with this so-called British nobleman, so he got up directly and said to De La Torre:
"The enemy ship is still nearby, and it is immediately on alert. Let's go to the bridge. ”
After saying that, he ignored Reinhardt, who wanted to continue to say something, and got up and left directly.
