Battle of the Third Reich

In the clear sky, under the scorching sun in the afternoon, the British Royal Navy t-class submarine n25 was sailing at full speed on the surface of Bristol Bay. The tall streamlined bow was like a sharp machete splitting the turbidity of the bay. Sea water, splashing waves hit the hot steel deck. ∽↗∽↗,

"If we maintain this speed, we still need half an hour to enter the deep water area. I have reminded you, captain, that your plan is completely gambling, and now you have brought all of us into a dangerous situation. "Lieutenant Matthew Lieutenant murmured in the captain's ear.

"Shut up, Lieutenant, pay attention to the observation. I don't want to hear you complain like a lady." Captain Bernard glanced coldly at his men, and then continued to observe the nearby with the telescope. Sea conditions.

Bristol is not a suitable military port. The bay is surrounded by shoals that have been flooded by rivers. The channels that can really be used are narrow and shallow. This is an irreparable fatal flaw for the Navy.

At the beginning of the armistice, the German army proposed that the British Royal Navy must recall all her British submarine troops under its control to remove the war damage and damage, as well as the part of the Mediterranean and the Far East. The British Royal Navy now has a forty A huge group of three submarines.

The British submarine's technology has some swords, and they seem to have always wanted to use this thing in fleet battles, and the T-type large-scale ocean-going submarine is the product of this great idea. This was the most technologically advanced submarine in the world at that time, and even surpassed the German u-boat vii in some aspects. For example, it was equipped with the world’s first practical active sonar. She was able to use sonar in deep submarine to target. Positioning, instead of floating to the depth of the periscope for visual targeting, the submarine can launch a surprise attack directly on the enemy ship from underwater, which was still the highest military secret at the time.

However, this technology has been acquired by the German army. The n25 T38, the same type of boat, fell into the hands of the German navy because of a chlorine leak accident. The Germans have installed the seized sonar on the latest u1001. Actual combat test.

The German Navy demanded that the British concentrate all large submarines in the port of Bristol. The fancy is that the port is covered with star-studded shoals. Even more troublesome is that because of the impact of the river, the terrain of these shoals is constantly changing, which is a restricted area for all submarines. No submarine has the guts to dive in this area.

Captain Bernard is now in this embarrassing situation, but since the plan has been launched, he can only go forward with no stubborn daring, he and everyone on this submarine can no longer look back, including The chattering Matthew on the side was also well aware of this. The lieutenant was otherwise good, except that he was a little bit less timid.

Bernard is not the original commander of this submarine. In fact, none of the submarine on this submarine was the original crew of this submarine. They were all stolen from various fleets. Some people paid a lot of money to hire them. They organized them and secretly delivered them to the boat at noon that day.

This is a private operation that has nothing to do with the country. Bernard thinks so. He only needs to take the submarine to the destination safely to get the money that can be squandered in this life. The captain had previously commanded a s-class submarine of more than 700 tons, and the tonnage was much smaller than that of the t-class. However, the design of the British submarine is the same, so the overall layout and control methods are not too different. With years of accumulated experience, he skillfully directed this submarine to bypass the block network arranged by the army layman. Drive 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 British and German high-level. If the British bureaucrats are unresponsive as usual, then he should have enough time to break into the safe waters. As long as the submarine dives into the water, no one can find it out of the vast sea.

The only variable in the plan was the German side. Bernard and the employers had heated discussions about it, and the other side successfully convinced him. The Germans are still busy occupying Britain. There are a large number of surface ships of the Royal Navy waiting for them to receive. It is impossible to devote their energy to the whereabouts of a British submarine.

"We have entered the deep water channel, although the depth is only 30 meters, but it is enough for us to dive." Matthew aloud made suggestions on the side.

"It's not time to move on. I can't waste precious electricity in this narrow channel." Bernard flatly refused, and the submarine's underwater distance is limited, if it is consumed here The battery must float up and charge when it reaches the sea. If it is intercepted at that time, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Understood, Captain." Lieutenant Matthew was not a fool. He thought about the captain's plan for a moment.

"Our speed is only 14 knots, can't we go any faster?" Bernard shouted loudly into the call tube.

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

"I said that there must be a problem with this submarine. If I knew it was the n25, I would never get any money for the boat." Matthew began to complain again.

"Damn it, Matthew, what's wrong with you? I think you need to find a place to calm down. Now close your stinky mouth and don't mention it in my ear again, one Don't even mention the words!" Bernard put down his binoculars, turned his face and yelled at the first officer.

While the captain of this submarine was spitting water on the face of the first officer, another discussion was taking place in the officer’s cabin at the front of the submarine.

"This is what you call a safe path? Mr. Miller. I think it's a bit different from what you said before." Howard Flori sat on a folded corner sofa, holding a document bag tightly in his hand.

"Relax, doctor, we have had a rigorous plan and there will be no problems. Besides, no place in this world is absolutely safe. You also know that it is the time of war and your country has been brutally conquered. Occupied, your research will play a huge role in saving your country, and it should be a little risky at this time.

You should now consider how to persuade the directors of the foundation to continue to invest more in your research after arriving in the United States. Although my boss is more optimistic about your project, he can't make a decision on the board of directors. Investing in research funds must be supported by most directors. "Harry Miller sat in a folding chair opposite Flory and talked, this middle-aged gentleman with some gratitude was the agent of the Rockefeller Foundation in Europe, and he was behind the scenes for the entire escape plan. The manipulation is done.

Flori was in contact with the Rockefeller Foundation at the end of 39, when the Mr. Miller hurried to Oxford from the Paris branch. He saw the potential behind this research. Medicine has always been a profitable business. If the research path is correct, you may only need to invest a little money, and the return may be a gold mine that will never be exhausted. .

At that time, Flori was trapped by the financial problem. The research funds in the school cannot be used casually, but the funds originally allocated to the laboratory have been used up. Flori has mobilized all his relationships to find new sources of research funds, but no one is optimistic about his research at this time. .

The British Medical Research Council has expressed some interest. They are willing to invest 25 pounds on it. What can 25 pounds do, and Flori can't think of it. In the end, they still relied on Chin’s Jewish identity, and they only received 300 pounds of money each month from the Medical Research Council, which was still paid in the name of Ching’s living expenses. The last sum of money obtained from the committee is 120 pounds of antibacterial research funds every year. This is a big deal, and every laboratory doing similar research will be able to get it as long as it applies. The money came together, and it was only enough to keep the experiment going, but the laboratory staff needed to eat and had to pay for it. No one was willing to sell your life for free this year. In particular, the cultivation of bacteria 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 Flori's expectations. The application he submitted was quickly approved by the US headquarters. The rich Rockefeller Foundation was much more generous than the British Medical Research Council. They signed an agreement with Flori to give Flori’s research investment $5,000 a year. Converted into pounds is actually more than one hundred pounds per month, but for Flori, this is Gan Lin in the desert, and the funds on hand are finally enough to support him to complete this research.

Flori did not disappoint Miller's expectations and successfully found a method to purify penicillin from the strain. Not only that, he also conducted a series of animal experiments. Judging from the experimental results, this drug completely achieved the effect expected by Flori. Miller personally rushed to Oxford to check the experimental report, and then he urged Flori to write the research results as a paper as soon as possible and publish it in the most authoritative medical journal so that he can reasonably request the foundation to make a greater investment.

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

"You have to believe in the foundation's ability. This is a rescue operation that has been prepared for a long time. Not only for you alone, you can go out and take a look. Those who wear casual clothes are scientists like you. One is a genius and an elite in their respective fields. We will not make fun of the precious wealth of you humans, so you can rest assured and enjoy this wonderful journey." Miller smiled and patted Fro Shoulders.

"I understand, thank you very much for answering my question. Sorry, the brain in front of me is a bit confusing. To know what happened in these thirty hours, I used to never dream about it. Now look at me. On a submarine, on a real submarine, sorry, I was a little bit more excited." Flori waved his arms exaggeratedly, and finally hit the side wall.

"It doesn't matter, doctor, you will get used to it soon. You will take a break here first. Someone will lead you to your bed later." Miller patted Miller's back, then stood up and walked out. This little compartment.

Seeking monthly tickets and asking for recommendation tickets, I feel much better today. Thank you for your continued support for this book.

Thank you. (To be continued.)
