Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 21: Prince Eugen (middle)


  

  "Christian, hurry up and order the fire! Let the low-powered British know that now the world has changed, and the powerful German navy is the master of the world’s oceans. Let the British hold Nelson’s tombstone and cry. !"

  "Don’t worry, my dear Randolph. It’s not time yet, my well-trained sailors are looking for the most valuable targets. You will be able to see my lovely subordinates showing They are proud of their strength. By then you will be very satisfied, ha ha ha ha. It is finally time for the British guys to pay off their debts. Why do I suddenly feel that the British people seem a little pitiful, ha ha ha ha..."

  "That’s because we are glorious and noble knights, haha, it’s normal to have some guilt in our hearts. But then again, war is cruel. In order to win, we sometimes have to force ourselves to make Something that goes against our own beliefs. But compared with the great mission we have borne, what are these things. Just take the condemnation of our conscience as the price we must pay to achieve our great and sacred cause Come on! My dear Captain Christian."

   "Oh, it turned out to be like this, you were right! My dear Randolph, now I am relieved, hehehehe..."

  "Of course it is, my respected Mr. Captain, hahahaha..."

   "Good God, I can't stand it anymore! Who can go up and stop them, Alfred." German navy colonel Karl. Hank desperately restrained his urge to flatter, he said helplessly to his friend.

  "Patience, Carl. Patience is the most precious virtue of a soldier, but now I don't know how long I can endure. These two guys are too uninhibited. They are too shameless. It is a shame to the German army. "Alfred. Colonel Zaft smiled bitterly and comforted his friend.

  The protagonists in their conversation are not conscious of the slightest now, and they would never have thought that they had received this kind of evaluation.

   These two guys are now standing proudly in front of the windshield of the open-air bridge, continuing to splash and destroy the nerves of all officers and soldiers on the bridge, testing everyone's willpower.

  If you just talk about appearance, Randolph's current dress can definitely fascinate a group of young and ignorant young girls.

   The SS major is now wearing a neat black SS uniform and a full leather armed belt. All his medals and medals hung on his chest, and a ceremonial dagger with the silver logo of the head of the head of state was hung on the waist in a black patent leather case.

  He wore a black SS overcoat with silver trim on his shoulders, and the carefully wiped silver military rank mark gleamed in the sun.

   Randolph didn't wear a military cap on his head, and he seemed to enjoy this feeling even though the sea breeze was blowing his dazzling short blond hair.

   tall and strong figure, handsome appearance, beautiful uniform, and elegant manners, watching this young officer standing on the bridge vigorously, the hem of his coat fluttering with the sea breeze, this kind of grace from his bones The aura makes one have to admit that Randolph does have the potential to become a hero, at least in terms of appearance.

   "Christian, which ship should we go to, I think it's okay to just attack their flagship."

   Randolph stepped on a protruding exhaust pipe on the bridge with one foot, resting his chin with one hand, and crossing his chest with the other hand. He has kept this since he came to this bridge He thinks the most handsome pose.

  "We can attack any one. General Lütjens did not assign our target. But I think since there are so many targets to choose from, why should we only focus on that flagship? She has Scharnhorst. It's enough to deal with." Christian, the captain of the heavy cruiser Prince Eugen. Feng. Colonel Hertz answered with a grin.

  Christian. Feng. Hertz was looking at the British fleet in front of him with a wolf watching a group of fat sheep.

   The captain’s dress today has also been carefully prepared. The new navy blue German navy uniform is very hot. He wears all his medals on his chest like Randolph, and his waist is also hung. Navy Sabre.

   He even wore a ribbon on his right chest. The golden rope decoration on the military hat and the brim of the hat are shiny. His current dress makes people feel that the captain is about to participate in a grand event. It's the same as the prom.

   Feng. Hertz had served on the destroyer until he became the captain of the Prinz Eugen. He participated in the famous Battle of Narvik. This can be seen from the polished commemorative badge of the Battle of Narvik on his left arm.

   In the naval battle that caused the German Navy to lose face and lose face, although he commanded the battleship to fight bravely, he even damaged two British destroyers, but in the end he lost his ammunition and food. ability.

   At that time, he had no choice but to order all the crew to abandon the ship and scuttled his love ship, but the British navy still reluctantly broke the exposed part of Z22 to pieces. For a captain, this is simply a shame.

  The hatred of destroying ships plus the thirty-four blood debts that the British owed him in previous battles, Christian. Feng. Hertz is determined to recover all these benefits from the British in this battle.

   Suddenly there was an earth-shattering roar from Gneisenau in front of Prince Eugen, and the battleship’s nine main guns successively bombarded the British fleet that was in chaos.

  Then Scharnhorst’s main gun began to project fierce fire on the British fleet.

   "It's going, it's going! Why don't we fire!"

   Randolph exclaimed excitedly. He can no longer maintain his "heroic posture" now. The SS major slapped the bridge guardrail and shouted loudly.

   "We are aiming. Take a moment longer, Randolph." Christian put down the telescope in his hand and answered with a smile.

   "Captain, I don't think it is wise for us to enter the battle like this."

   Colonel Carl finally couldn't help but speak out loud.

   "Well, what do you suggest, Colonel, know that we have entered the battlefield."

   "I don't mean that, I mean, according to the order of General Lütjens, Prinz Eugen should follow behind the flagship as a reserve team, but now you are..."

   Colonel Carl frowned and turned his head to look at the frantically flashing signal lights on the mast of Admiral Scheer.

  "The flagship now strongly requires us to return to our original position."

  "Please send a signal to General Lütjens that the Prince Eugen cannot hide behind and accept the protection of her colleagues. This is related to the honor of the soldiers, so we request that the Prince Eugen be allowed to go into battle. This is the special envoy of the head of state. The request of Major Randolph."

   Randolph said coldly.

  "This...Navy..."

   Carl also wanted to say something was stopped by Colonel Alfred on the side.

  "Since it is the order of the head of state's plenipotentiary envoy, it is equivalent to the order of the head of state. If you have any questions, wait until the battle is over."

   Alfred cast a fierce look at his friend, reminding him not to provoke the special envoy of the head of state who is in an abnormal state, otherwise the consequences may be very serious.

   "However, Captain, I think we should take advantage of the range of our main guns and make it safer to attack from a distance. You must know that there are more than 300 naval reserve officers and non-commissioned officers on board the Prince Eugen. They are all precious treasures of the German Navy. As the leader of these children, Colonel Hank and I must remind you of this."

   Alfred. Colonel Zaft said seriously.

  "Then we should do this even more, Colonel Zaft. They have not tried this kind of face-to-face combat, have not experienced the baptism of artillery fire, these children will not really grow up. Although they may suffer. Some dangers, but if these children can feel the cruelty of the war early and gain valuable experience from it, all this is worth it."

   Christian replied firmly.

   "It sounds good, but it's actually not the reason you, a militant fellow, gave yourself." Zaft cursed secretly.

   "It seems that the two colonels are paying more attention to their safety."

   Randolph coldly threw a word on the side, and almost blown up the stomachs of the two colonels.

  "What~IndoMTL.com~Major Randolph! You are insulting us."

   Carl. Hank shouted angrily.

   "Yes, you have damaged our reputation! Our courage is not less than yours, but we are the heroes who won the Iron Cross of the First Class in the Battle of Poland!"

   Zaft couldn't hold back either, he blushed and retorted loudly.

   "If I offend both of you, I can apologize to you. But I still doubt whether you really have the bravery you claim to be. If you want to refute me, please prove it to me with your actions." Astoria still answered coldly.

   "Okay! We will prove it to you, and I want you to apologize to both of us afterwards." Carl. Hank snarled.

   "Don't talk nonsense with him, Karl, let's go!"

   Zaft is now so angry that Qiqiao has smoked, and he drags Karl to the bridge stairs angrily.

   "Where are you two going?"

   Feng, Hertz called out loudly behind him.

   "Go to a position that can prove our courage, let's go to the deck to fight!"

   Zaft said without looking back, and then dragged Karl, who was still filled with righteous anger, down the bridge escalator.

   "I really don't have the patience, haha. I dare to say that I am a disgrace to the German army. I won't let you know how good I am and I will serve the head of state again."

   Randolph said with a sneer, he didn't expect that the two colonels' talk so quietly would be heard by him.
