Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 240: T-Class Submarine N Twenty-Five (Part 1)

In the clear sky, under the scorching sun in the afternoon, the Royal Navy T-class submarine n25 is sailing at full speed on the waters of Bristol Bay. The towering streamlined bow of the boat splits the bay like a sharp machete. In the turbid sea, splashing waves hit the hot steel deck.

"If we maintain this speed, it will take us half an hour to enter the deep water. I have reminded you, Captain, your plan is completely gambling, and now you have brought us all into danger. In a situation." Lieutenant Matthew, the deputy captain, complained endlessly in the captain's ear.

"Shut up, Lieutenant, pay attention. I don't want to hear you complaining like a girl." Captain Bernard glanced coldly at his subordinate, and then continued to observe with the telescope From the surrounding sea conditions.

Bristol is not a suitable military port. The bay is surrounded by shallows flooded by rivers. The channel that can be used is narrow and shallow, which is an irreparable fatal flaw for the navy.

At the beginning of the armistice, the Germans proposed that the Royal Navy must recall all British submarine units under its control, to remove war injuries and damages, as well as parts of the Mediterranean and the Far East. The Royal Navy still holds a A huge group of forty-three submarines.

The technology of British submarines is somewhat slanted. They seem to have always wanted to use this thing in fleet battles, and the T-shaped large ocean-going submarine is the product of a collection of this kind of thinking. This was the most technologically advanced submarine in the world at that time, and even surpassed the German u-boat type in some respects. For example, it was equipped with the world's first practical active sonar, which was able to use sonar for target positioning in a deep submarine state. , Instead of floating to the depth of the periscope for visual aiming, the submarine can directly launch a surprise attack on the enemy ship from underwater. This was still the highest military secret at the time.

At present, this technology has been acquired by the German army. Previously, the n38 Taku, the same boat of the n25, fell into the hands of the German Navy because of a chlorine leak. The Germans have installed the captured sonar with the latest The u1001 was tested in actual combat.

The German Navy asked the British to gather all the large submarines to the port of Bristol. What I fancy is that the shoals are covered with stars outside the port, and the more troublesome thing is. Because of the impact of the river, the topography of these shallows is still changing. This is a restricted area for all submarines. No submarine has the guts to dive in this area.

Captain Bernard is encountering this embarrassing situation now, but now that the plan has been launched, he can only go forward without hesitation. He and everyone on the submarine can no longer look back at this moment. Yes, including the chattering Matthew beside him knows this very well. The lieutenant was good in other aspects, but he was a little less courageous.

Bernard was not the original commander of the submarine. In fact, none of the submarine’s crew members were the original crew members of the submarine. Heavy money hired them and organized them, and secretly sent them aboard at noon that day.

This is a private action that has nothing to do with the country. Bernard thinks so. He only needs to bring the submarine to the destination safely, and he can get money that he may spend his entire life. The captain had previously commanded an S-class submarine of more than 700 tons, which was much smaller than this T-class submarine. However, the design of British submarines is the same, so the overall layout and control methods are not too different, relying on years of accumulated experience. He skillfully commanded the submarine to bypass the blocking net arranged by the army laymen, and successfully drove the submarine to the sea.

The problem is that this is only the first step of the plan. Although it has been a complete success, it has also alarmed the senior British and German leaders. If the British bureaucracy is as slow as usual, then he should have enough time to break into safety As long as the submarine dives into the water, no one will be able to find it out of the vast sea.

The only variable in the plan is the German side. Bernard and the employer had a heated discussion about this, and the other party successfully convinced him. The Germans are still busy occupying Britain, and there are a lot of surface ships of the Royal Navy waiting for them to receive. It is impossible to separate energy to pay attention to the whereabouts of a British submarine.

"We have entered the deep water channel. Although the depth is only 30 meters, it is enough for us to dive." Matthew made a loud suggestion from the side.

"It’s not time yet, keep going. I can’t waste precious electricity in this narrow waterway." Bernard categorically refused. The submarine’s underwater navigation distance is limited. When the battery is consumed, it must be charged up to the open sea. If it was intercepted at that time, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Understood, captain." Lieutenant Matthew is not a fool, he understood the captain's plan after a little thought.

"Our speed is only fourteen knots, can't it be faster?" Bernard shouted into the telephone tube.

"I have tried my best, the engine is running at full speed." The captain's answer came from the call tube.

"I said that there must be a problem with this submarine. If I had known it was n25, I wouldn't be able to get on this boat for any money." Matthew started to complain again.

"Damn it, Matthew, is there anything wrong with you? I think you need to find a place to be calm and calm. Now close your cursed mouth, don’t mention it in my ears Don't mention a word!" Bernard put down his binoculars, turned his face to the first officer and shouted loudly.

Just as the captain of the submarine was spitting water on the face of the first officer, another discussion was going on in the officer's cabin in the front of the submarine.

"This is what you call a safe way? Mr. Miller. I think it’s a bit different from what you said before." Howard Flory sat on a corner sofa, holding a tightly in his hand. File package.

"Don’t worry, Doctor, we have carried out a rigorous plan, and there will be no problem. Besides, no place in this world is absolutely safe. You also know that it is a time of war and your country has been barbaric. Occupied by the conquerors. Your research will play a huge role in saving your country, and it’s okay to take a little risk at this time.

You should now consider how to persuade the directors of the foundation to continue to invest more in your research after you arrive in the United States, although my boss is more optimistic about your project. But he can't say anything in the board of directors. Investing in research funds must be supported by most of the directors. "Harry Miller was sitting in a folding chair opposite Flory and talking. This somewhat flattened middle-aged gentleman was an agent of the Rockefeller Foundation in Europe. He was behind the scenes of the entire escape plan. The manipulation is complete.

Flory contacted the Rockefeller Foundation at the end of 39. At that time, Mr. Miller personally rushed to Oxford from the Paris branch. He saw the potential behind this research. Medicine has always It is a very profitable business. If the research path is correct, you may only need to invest a little capital, and the return may be an inexhaustible gold mine.

At the time, Flory had been stuck with funding problems. The research funds in the school cannot be used casually. The funds originally allocated to the laboratory have been used up. Flory mobilized all his relationships to find new sources of research funding, but no one was optimistic about his research at this time. .

The British Medical Research Council has expressed some interest. They are willing to invest 25 pounds in this. What can be done with 25 pounds, Flory scratched his head and couldn't figure out. In the end, relying on Qian's Jewish status, they obtained 300 pounds of funds from the Medical Research Council, which was paid out in the name of living expenses for Qian. The final fund obtained from the committee is 120 pounds of antibacterial research funding per year. This is a common stock, and every laboratory doing similar research will be able to get it as long as it applies. The money is always collected. It's just barely enough to keep the experiment going, but the laboratory employees need to eat and must be paid. No one is willing to work for you for free these days. In particular, bacterial cultivation is still a troublesome and disgusting job.

So at that time, the Rockefeller Foundation's funding became Flory's life-saving straw, and Miller did not live up to Flory's expectations. His application was quickly approved by the US headquarters, and he was very rich. The Rockefeller Foundation is much more generous than the British Medical Research Association. They signed an agreement with Flori, granting Flori an annual investment of five thousand dollars in research. It is actually more than one hundred pounds per month when converted into pounds, but for Flori. This is the rain in the desert, and the funds he has on hand are finally enough to support him in completing this research.

Flory did not live up to Miller’s expectations and successfully found a way to purify penicillin from the strain. Not only that, he also conducted a series of animal experiments. From the experimental results, this drug completely reached the level of Fro. The expected effect. Miller personally rushed to Oxford to check the experimental report, and then he urged Flory to write the results of the research into a paper as soon as possible and publish it in the most authoritative medical journal, so that he could have reason to ask the foundation for greater investment.

But before the magazine was published, the Germans had already set foot in England. In the end, Flory hurriedly escaped from Oxford under Miller's arrangement, and even got on the submarine in confusion under Miller's arrangement.

"You have to believe in the ability of the Foundation~IndoMTL.com~This is a rescue operation that was prepared very early. Not only for you alone, you can go out and take a look. Those in casual clothes are all Scientists like you, each of them are geniuses and elites in their respective fields. We will not make fun of your precious human wealth, so you can relax and enjoy this wonderful journey." Miller Smiling and patted Flori on the shoulder.

"I see. Thank you very much for answering my questions. Sorry, my mind is a little confused. You must know what happened in these thirty hours. I never even dreamed of dreaming before. Now you see Look, I'm on a submarine, a real submarine. Sorry, I'm a little excited again." Flory waved his arms exaggeratedly, and hit a side wall.

"It's okay, Doctor, you'll get used to it soon. You take a break here, and someone will show you to your bed later." Miller patted Miller on the back and stood up. Came out of this small compartment.
