Third Reich: I took over power

In the vast Atlantic Ocean, the wind is high and the waves are rough.

But as shipbuilding technology continues to make breakthroughs, the ships being built are getting bigger and stronger.

This enables these ships to travel across the ocean, break through the obstruction of storms, and travel between the Old World and the New World.

There is no doubt that the European continent is still the center of the world. The North American continent is also becoming more and more prosperous. The trade exchanges between the two continents are very intensive.

For maritime countries like the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets, maritime trade occupies a very important position in their national economy. It can even be said that overseas trade lines are directly related to the life and death of the empire on which the sun never sets.

Not to mention anything else, food alone is the lifeblood of the empire on which the sun never sets.

If overseas trade lines were cut off, the empire's local food production would be able to feed at most half of the population. The other half of the population may starve to death.

Of course, if it really comes to that point, the supply of food in the Empire will probably be restricted in order to feed as many people as possible.

But even so, at least 10% or even 20% of the population will starve to death.

This is undoubtedly a fatal threat to the empire whose total population reaches more than 40 million.

The Third Reich's attack on the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets also started from this aspect.

On the ocean, a dark submarine jumped out of the sea, like a big fish floating on the surface. On the side of the submarine, the hull number - U29 - is marked in white paint.

After a while, the submarine's hatch opened and some Third Reich submariners got out.

The interior of the submarine is small and hot, so the air inside naturally doesn't smell very good.

In addition, there is no AIP technology or nuclear reactor technology now.

Therefore, the underwater endurance of submarines in this era is not high. Most of the time, they sail on the water. They only dive underwater when they find enemy warships or when they want to fight.

The soldiers who got out of the submarine skillfully built an antenna to send and receive telegrams and communicate with the submarine force headquarters.

When a submarine performs tasks in the ocean, it is difficult to search for targets on its own. It is often necessary to rely on the submarine command to issue combat missions, and then rush to the predetermined sea area to wait for the opportunity.

The Military Intelligence Service of the Third Reich had a large number of intelligence personnel doing this kind of work.

After they found out about the merchant ships and transport ships of the Third Reich, they reported it to the country.

After the Military Intelligence Bureau summarizes the information, it is forwarded to the Submarine Force Headquarters, which then issues attack orders to submarines operating in the ocean.

While the submarine was sending and receiving telegrams, some submariners took the opportunity to get out of the submarine and smoke a cigarette outside.

Smelling the slightly fishy air is a rare relief for them. For submarine soldiers, a submarine is just an airtight iron shell. Once an accident occurs, they will often be buried in iron coffins. Therefore, serving in a submarine will undoubtedly require you to endure a lot of pressure.

Let alone this era, even a few years later, submariners are still a very dangerous force. Once an accident occurs, it almost means death.

"Sir, the command ordered us to go to Sea Area No. 73 and stand by. A fleet from Tianzhu will arrive in three days."The signal soldier reported

"Sea area No. 73? It's not that far, and we can get there in a little more than two days."Captain Otto Kretschmer, the captain of the boat, nodded.

In order to facilitate the actions of each submarine, the Third Reich submarine force marked each sea area with a number. In this way, there is no fear of being eavesdropped by the enemy when issuing orders.. Moreover

, the numbers of each sea area will also be changed from time to time.

"Guys, get ready, we're leaving in ten minutes!"Captain Otto Kretschmer ordered

"Yes, sir!"The submariners answered one after another.

Then, the smoking submariners sped up.

Soon, these submariners returned to the submarine.

The hatch cover of the submarine was closed, and the submarine began to turn its course and sail towards the predetermined sea area.

At this moment, next The U29 submarine was not the only one who received the order. Several submarines operating in this area received the order and rushed to the 73rd sea area to stand by, preparing to hunt the fleet of the Empire on which the sun never sets. Following

Hess's proposal Next, the submarine force of the Third Reich had long begun to implement wolf pack tactics.

Several submarines or even more than a dozen submarines formed a wolf pack to slaughter the enemy's fleet. It was far better than a single submarine searching for targets in the ocean and then launching attacks. The efficiency of the attack is much higher.

The losses caused to the enemy are often much greater.

After all, the speed of submarines in this era is not high. Especially when underwater, even the UVIIC submarines of the Third Reich, The underwater speed is only 8 knots. Not to mention tracking enemy warships, even merchant ships can throw them away. The surface speed can be as high as 17 knots, but once the submarine is exposed to the sea, it will not count. The most important protection has been lost. Not to mention warships, even a few rapid-fire guns installed on merchant ships can easily destroy or even sink the submarine.

Under such circumstances, hide underwater to launch an attack, and then Retreating from the water is undoubtedly the safest tactic.

Assembling multiple submarines to jointly launch a hunting operation will undoubtedly have a much higher success rate.

The U29 submarine rushed to the No. 3 sea area to assemble. At the same time, , several other submarines also rushed to the sea area.

As of June 27, the Third Reich's submarine force had assembled seven submarines in this sea area.

You know, activities in the entire Atlantic Ocean There are only sixty submarines in the Third Reich in total. Assembling seven at once is already a very large undertaking.

After the seven submarines arrived in the predetermined sea area, they quietly ambush, waiting for the prey to arrive.

These The submarines did not even meet, but they were undoubtedly aware of the existence of their other comrades-in-arms. In the evening of that day, a fleet from Tianzhu finally arrived in this sea area after a long voyage of tens of thousands of kilometers.

But it is a pity that they were discovered by the submarine force of the Third Reich as soon as they entered this sea area. What's even more terrible is that the Imperial Navy of the Sun Never Sets did not seem to be aware of the danger, so it did not equip the fleet with escort warships. _To read the ununderlined version of the novel, please download Feilu Novel A
