"Keep the original course and raise the periscope!" Karl Heinke took off the white combat hat, and instead clasped the brim on his head again.

"Good captain, raise the periscope." Lieutenant Zeke, the deputy captain, flipped the switch on the control panel, and searched for the periscope from the shaft in the middle of the command cabin as the motor squeaked.

"Azimuth zero and thirty zero, high-speed propeller, captain." The sonar operator reported from the door of the sonar room.

"Azimuth zero three zero..." Heynck unfolded the folding handles on both sides of the periscope, and his eyes closed on the eyepieces with rubber pads.

"Battleship, [King Kong] class, distance of five thousand and seven." Heinke said, the deputy captain stood on the other side of the periscope and recorded the reading on the dial.

"Another [King Kong]-class battleship, at a distance of 49,000. Recording course...Two and one zero."

"Course 210, captain." The deputy captain reported the reading.

"The speed is 20 knots, five thousand six hundred, cruiser two, destroyer three...No, it is four, they didn't find us." Heynke folded the armrest of the periscope.

"Put away the periscope, now let's take a look..." The captain of the navy walked quickly to the chart table, picked up the compass and the ruler, and began to calculate the course.

"They didn't carry out anti-submarine maneuvers, they were just a bunch of targets. We can turn to zero and six zero and cut to their inner line." Heynke said to the deputy captain.

"Good captain, Norman, right rudder fifteen degrees, two cars at full speed, heading zero and six zero." The deputy captain ordered.

"Yes, right rudder fifteen degrees, full speed for both cars." The chief navigation officer replies loudly, holding the helmsman's shoulder.

U1001 has been out to sea for 14 days. Originally, she planned to return to the temporary anchorage on Kunshan Island today for rest.

German Navy UC submarine (here C stands for the Greek letter 100) has come to an end for the seaworthiness test in tropical waters. The data proves that U1001 can fully adapt to this sea environment, as long as there is no problem with the cold storage on the submarine. , The crew were completely indifferent to the hot weather here.

An hour ago, Heynke received an order from the Fleet Headquarters to change course. At that time, U1001 was still submersing at 15 meters underwater. This is the characteristic of long-wave radio stations. Long-wave signals can penetrate sea water and Submarines at a depth of 18 to 20 meters conduct one-way communication.

The identity of U1001 is more sensitive. This is the latest submarine model in Germany. It has never appeared in the public. Therefore, it has always maintained a sense of mystery in Indochina and never surfaced during the day.

Actually, for U1001, there is not much difference between water and water. The underwater speed of this ship is higher than that on water.

The order of the Fleet Command is for her to immediately rush to the coordinated sea area to monitor the actions of the Japanese fleet, and if possible, to test the Japanese anti-submarine capabilities. Because U1001 is the German submarine closest to the conflict zone, the command really doesn't want to use this valuable prototype if it is not really able to find manpower.

In order to reach the target area within the stipulated time, Captain Heynck led his team to unearth all the potential of this submarine, and ran out of the underwater speed of 19.2 knots. More than most conventional diesel-electric submarines in later generations.

When they hurriedly arrived at the coordinate area, the Japanese and French fleets had already encountered, and the two sides also launched a simulated naval battle with great interest.

"The Imperial Japanese Navy does not have the most basic anti-subconscious awareness. They don't even know our existence. Now I will prove it." Heinke raised his wrist to check the time on the watch, and then began to walk straight along. The ladder climbed up to the command tower enclosure.

Opening the protective cover, the captain sat in front of the attack periscope.

"It's like ducks in a playground pool, look at these big guys." Heinke leaned in front of the periscope eyepiece and turned the crank, the Japanese warship in the telescope lens seemed to be close at hand.

"The speed is still 20 knots and the course is 22. If we launch a torpedo now, what would you say?" Heynke asked the deputy captain in the command cabin loudly.

"It will cause a naval battle, and then General Deniz will screw off your head, Carl, this joke is not funny at all." Zeko teased while typing the attack periscope into the ballistic computer. Target parameters.

"Torpedo number one, number two, then number three, number four. Then... "boom"... the battleship is over." The sailor made a sinking gesture to the navigator, navigator With a smile, he punched the non-commissioned officer with a punch in the shoulder.

At this moment, there was a dull roar from outside the boat. At this time, the submarine was advancing at a quiet sailing speed of six knots, and the explosion under the water was particularly clear.

"What happened? Hey! Carl!" the deputy captain yelled toward the control tower hatch while leaning on the ladder.

"The cruiser exploded suddenly, and I don't know what happened? Hey, don't look at me like this, I didn't do anything!" Heynke replied, holding the hatch.

"You really should come up and take a look at this, the entire middle of the ship has exploded into the sky, it looks like it has been shot in an ammunition depot...oh, the fire is burning..."

"Direction: 20, high-speed propeller." A warning from the sonar soldier sounded in the cabin.

"Destroyer, a Japanese destroyer, she seems to have seen us. Dive! Zeke, dive in urgently! Put away the periscope!" Heinke closed the protective outer plate of the attack periscope, and then climbed up the ladder. Entering the command cabin, the pressure hatch cover leading to the enclosure was quickly locked.

Major General Corinne witnessed the explosion of the heavy cruiser [Old Eagle] on the bridge of the [Dunkirk]. From a distance of 12,000 meters, the momentum is still very shocking.

No one at the scene knew what happened to the Japanese, and most of the captains thought it was a Japanese warship firing at them. All kinds of inquiry messages rang out on the radio. The slower ones were still asking what happened just now, and the quicker ones had already asked the flagship for permission to fire.

On the other hand, the Japanese fleet is in a state of chaos. Everyone wanted to know what happened to [Gu Ying], but no matter how the flagship asked, the heavy tour never responded.

Finally, these are professional soldiers with professional skills. No one thinks that the explosion is related to the French fleet in person, because if the French fired, there are so many eyes looking up and down here, and the high-power rangefinder is staring. It will be discovered the first time.

Obviously, this was the accident of the [Guying] itself. As for the reason, we can only wait for the [Guying] to explain.

What Takasu is most worried about now is whether the explosion of [Ancient Eagle] will cause the French to misunderstand, because the French fleet has turned the rudder and widened the distance, obviously reorganizing its formation to prepare for artillery combat.

"[Gu Ying] replied!" A staff officer reported loudly with a telescope.

"The commander of the team and the captain were seriously injured...The deputy commander was killed...The hull broke...Request for help!" The staff read and translated the light signal on the opposite side word by word.

"Order the 20th Destroyer Team and [Jagu] to go to the rescue immediately~IndoMTL.com~The fleet stops and rescues [Ancient Eagle]."

Takasu also knew that for a while, he couldn’t understand the cause of the explosion. Now the key is to keep this precious warship of the Emperor. If you watch [Old Eagle] lose here, the Fifth Fleet will be His career from the commander-in-chief of the fleet to the combat staff will also end here.

The most troublesome thing for Takasu is that this incident still happened in front of the French fleet. The face of the Imperial Japanese Navy was gone at this moment. If it were put in the Meiji period, this would be enough to make the person in charge cut his belly. Major crime.

"The azimuth is two to four zero, one thousand five hundred meters, and the periscope is found." The cries of the watcher pulled Lieutenant General Takasu's thoughts back to reality.

"Oh Mocassie (full right rudder)" The captain immediately conditioned and gave the rudder turn command.

"There are so many sack bridges! (Wait a minute) It may be a French submarine." Takasu's mind was already in confusion at this time, and he really didn't want to have any more problems.

"[Xi Li] of the Second Destroyer Team rushed forward." A staff officer reported loudly.

"Also, order her to drive away the submarine, but it is not allowed to attack. This is the commander's order." Takasu turned back and walked towards the bridge stairs. He was going to the deck to personally command the [Gu Ying ] Rescue operations.

"Ha! Send a signal to Xili immediately!" The signal leader ordered loudly.

"Flagship orders, drive...submarine...attack..." The signalmen on the [Xi Li] struggled to read the semaphore from [King Kong].

"Xishi, [Xi Li] is moving forward poi at full speed." Captain Terumoto Yumoto stood on the open-air bridge and waved his arm forward.
