Chapter 52 First Arrival on the East Coast

Chapter 52 First arrival at the East Coast

For 6 days and 7 nights, most of the time they spend in the inner cabin of the submarine, and often encounter storms and waves. This is a journey that people who are not familiar with the ocean must grit their teeth and persevere. Seasickness, vomiting, insomnia, diarrhea, and even listlessness and depression are reflected in many passengers on the submarine.

Compared to his first experience of riding a submarine through the North Sea and Norwegian Sea, Lynn has shown better adaptability this time. He only had mild seasick symptoms in the first two days, and he could teach his companions very calmly to practice English. One of the big reasons why Orientals find it difficult to learn English is because the two languages ​​are in completely different language systems, and German and English have a common ancestor - ancient Germanic. In a sense, German is one of the ancestors of English.

Because of these connections, many words have similar pronunciations. In addition, the geographical locations of the two countries are close, so there are more opportunities to contact each other in normal life, so it is easier to learn from each other. In just one week, Lynn's team members have achieved rapid progress in speaking English. Although this cannot help them cheat and interrogate directly when they encounter US border troops or police, it is still of great significance for entering the United States and planning to stay for a long time.

The last time because of the "Aryan Ark Project", Lynn was riding a common viic combat submarine. The facilities on the boat were average and it was quite crowded due to overcrowding, so there was almost no comfort during the voyage. This time the situation was very different. In a conversation with the crew, Lynn determined his guess. It was indeed an Xxi submarine, the last class submarine before the demise of the Third Reich of Germany. It can also be called the most advanced technology, most complete facilities and the most outstanding performance during World War II. When he was the moderator of the World War II forum, Lynn once wrote a technician.

The crochet has discussed the performance of this weapon with other military fans, so it has a deep impression of its main data. The efficient Chaiyi electric main engine, double pressure-resistant hull, Shunoken snorkel and active passive sonar are all the most cutting-edge submarine technologies at that time. As an underwater hunter, it can reach a maximum speed of 16.8 knots during submarine voyage, and the silent effect during slow navigation has also reached a very amazing level. It is said that the u-2511 was close to a British destroyer to a range of 500 meters but was not discovered, but it was not attacked because it had received news of Germany's surrender.

In addition to advanced combat equipment, as a large submarine designed to carry out ocean-going operations, the xxi is also equipped with a good food refrigeration system and seawater desalination system, which means that crews can not only ensure nutrition during long-term navigation, but also regularly bathe in fresh water or even soak in bathtubs! This is not a gimmick to promote a military product. During the nearly week's voyage, Lynn and others who shoulder special missions also steadily felt the benefits of this advanced technology.

In the early morning of June 25, 1945, the officers and passengers on the boat were all unwilling to sleep, and at this time they had already arrived on the east coast of the United States. Although the number of ships of the U.S. Navy was unable to implement full alert on the long east coast, so that the most efficient hunting battle of the German submarine troops during World War II was obtained in this sea area. Now that the war in Europe has come to an end, the focus of the US military's combat forces has shifted to the central and western Pacific Ocean, and the defense of its local east coast has become even weaker. Although there is no chance to see it with your own eyes, Lynn believes that the captain saw many targets in the periscope that were easier to deal with than sheep. Unfortunately, his submarine only carried 6 torpedoes to save lives, while most of the torpedo hangers were temporarily converted into beds. The current situation and the mission of this mission did not allow the unfulfilled German captain to start killing again.

"Confirm the ship to pick it up!" said the captain in his hoarse voice because of the fire, "maintain one-third of the speed and float."

In his words, Lin En, who was about to board a foreign land, was not so peaceful. After the submarine floated, he was the last one to board the submarine deck as the deputy commander, blew the gentle sea breeze that came towards him, and what he thought of in his mind was four years ago. "Barbarossa" was launched on June 22. In the first three days, the German team, at its peak in the military, was in a state of unstoppable momentum, broke through the Soviet border defense line in most areas and advanced rapidly towards its depths. On those nights, there must be many young and energetic like themselves.

The officer was excited to look at the torrent of steel rolling forward. What unfolded before them was a magnificent and beautiful war picture, but he had not caught up with such a good time. Four years have passed, the arrogant military empire has been destroyed, and only a small number of remnants of officers and soldiers who had given up retreated to the remote and deserted secret base, thinking that one day they could seize the opportunity to realize the empire. However, Lin En was the one who knew that there was no way out for passively waiting. Between sinking and giving up, he finally chose the latter...

On the dim sea, a freighter of no more than 4,000 tons and a submarine of nearly 2,000 tons quietly approached. Their appearance and temperament seemed to come from two completely different planets. With the whispering greeting of the crew, the imperial elites who shouldered heavy responsibilities climbed onto the ship in a mess and difficult manner like fugitives. It was the last time they boarded the ship. Lynn turned his head and looked back. The dark submarine had quickly dived into the water, leaving only some messy ripples on the calm sea.

"Sir, Interim Commander of the American Contingent, Von Bernerg, pays tribute to you on behalf of all personnel!"

On the front deck of the ship, a short, sturdy man raised his hand to Bethlem.

"Are all the personnel here?" Colonel Bertleme asked coldly.

The short man stood tall with his chest like a rooster and replied, "All 20 people are here, and all the items are needed are also prepared."

Burtlem nodded and said sideways: "This is Lieutenant Lynn Galgo, the deputy commander of this operation. He is a night battle hero and has been personally commended by the head of state."

The short officer immediately turned left 30 degrees, facing Lynn and saluted with a straight hand.

"Salute to you!"

Lynn just returned with courtesy and did not speak casually.

Burtleme has never been a person who likes to greet. Seeing that Lynn was not going to say anything, he asked the short officer directly: "Have the procedures required to enter the port of the ship have been arranged?"

The middle-aged and young man wearing a dark suit, who may be slightly taller than first-class shooter Hem, also replied in a straightforward manner: "It has been arranged all of them. During the entry of the port, everyone needs to cooperate in the cargo hold for a temporary escape."

Burtleme said expressionlessly: "Lt. Galgo, take everyone to the bottom of the cabin!"

This cold and unlimited command tone instantly made Lynn awake - Emperor Shangao was far from himself, not only for him, in this strange area far away from the base, the owner of Bethlem had incomparable control. Although he had several trustworthy team members, he was absolutely unable to compete with this cruel and ruthless old intelligence commander. So he honestly answered "yes" and turned around to call the team members to take their luggage and walk towards the cabin.

From the outside, this is a very ordinary small and medium-sized seaship, and its internal settings are still the same. The cabin is filled with a strange smell mixed with various odors. It may have transported livestock between North and South America not long ago, or the wheat and corn left in the gaps in the corners are moldy. The cargo in the cargo hold occupies most of the space, which is useless compared to the brand new and neat submarines.

Guangguang squatted in the cargo hold and could not avoid the inspection personnel's sight. The two crew members who led the way walked to a pile of wooden boxes, moved away the dozen boxes piled on the outermost one after another, and then pried up a square wooden board on the floor, pointing to the black space below and said: "There is fresh water, candles and toilets inside. When entering the port, we will give you signals from the outside. 3-1-3-1-3, you have to blow out the candles and not make any sound." The tall crew member said, knocking out the corresponding rhythm on the wooden floor with his fingers, and then said: "After safety, we will give you the opposite signal. 1-3-1-3-1, which means that we have passed the inspection. The situation allows us to naturally let you come up. Do you understand?"

Such signals are easy to remember, but this arrangement made Lynn not interested in any case. At first, he thought that the way to land in the United States would be to send the personnel near the shore by submarines and then take a rubber boat to the shore. This method had a 007 smell. However, Bertlem told him with a cold face that none of the German intelligence personnel who landed in the United States in this way during the war could successfully gain a foothold, and most of them lost contact within a few days - it was very likely that they were discovered by American residents along the coast and reported to the police authorities. After careful consideration, he decided to send the intelligence personnel directly to the port and enter the United States with the goods openly. Unexpectedly, only the goods were the ones who were shameful.

"Let's go, guys!" Lynn stood by the entrance, looking at the team members with various expressions of shock, confusion, ignorance, etc. Entering the dark cabin one by one. Everyone was in place. After waiting for a while, Colonel Bethlem did not come. Lynn guessed that the intelligence officer who immediately took the proud posture immediately arranged a more comfortable position for himself, so he sighed secretly and went down to the dark cabin full of damp and moldy smell. The crew indeed covered the wooden board and moved the wooden boxes back to their original position.

With the faint light of the candle, Lin En saw the environment here clearly and immediately felt like "Heaven will give great responsibility to this person". This dark cabin is probably located between the ballast water cabin and the bottom cargo cabin. There was about two centimeters of water flowing on the floor, and all kinds of fine floating objects were already dark green. Not only that, because of the existence of the toilet, the relatively closed space was filled with the smell of the toilet, and it was the kind that no one cleaned for a long time.

In addition to the 28 people who followed him in, there were more than a dozen casual faces in the dark cabin, probably the intelligence personnel who were drawn from South America. Some looked gloomy and capable, and they looked very young. I don’t know how good the quality of such a group of people is - I hope not to become a ridiculous stock in the history of world spies like the German spies sent to the United States earlier.

Seeing that the atmosphere was too dull, many people frowned, Lynn calmed down. Before the crew could send a secret message to silence, he shouted: "Guys, some of us have gone through a long voyage of more than 2,000 nautical miles, from familiar Europe to strange America, and from South America in the middle of winter to North America in the middle of summer, there will be psychological and physiological discomforts, and I know that many people are not optimistic about the prospects of this trip.

As pessimistic as to the mood, I cannot guarantee you anything, because I am your commander, not a liar or a scammer, I can only say that if we cannot succeed in the United States, thousands of Germans will only live in the shadows and pains of failure for a long time. I believe that everyone has experienced this pain in their childhood and youth. Do we want our relatives and descendants to suffer again?"

After a moment of pause, Lynn raised his head and glanced at everyone, answering the question he just asked in a powerful voice: "No, no! As long as we still have a little strength, we should fight against this unfair fate - we have the best generals, officers and soldiers in the world, and the best fighter jets, tanks and submarines in the world. Why do we accept failure? You may think that the hope of revival of the empire has nothing to do with our trip to the United States. If this is true, I can only feel sorry for you. Have you not seen that the failure of 1918 and our decline today have a common mastermind behind the scenes, that is, the United States! They always provide funds to our enemies at critical moments, and then directly participate in the war. They are shameless, they are hateful, and because we do not understand them, they will let them do whatever they want. Next, it is our turn to fight back!"

With the rise of Lynn's tone and the intense gestures, the team members from the base and intelligence personnel from South America gradually returned to standing upright. In the swaying candlelight, they turned their eyes to Lynn and the young man who deliberately or unintentionally imitated the head of the empire during his speech. Although the pronunciation of some words is not standard and occasionally accompanied by obvious grammatical errors, his passionate tone makes people ignore these, and concentrate on his understanding of the success or failure of the war and his analysis of the enemy.

"One day, we will destroy the Presidential Palace in Washington, destroy the Empire State Building in New York, destroy everything that this country once proud of, and let them experience the pain and humiliation we once suffered. I look forward to that day coming soon, and I look forward to that day that will make the enemy immortal, and let them tremble when they hear the reputation of Germany, and never dare to have any bad ideas. Everyone, Boston is ahead, our first stop to the United States. We will establish our intelligence site in this pretentious country, and we will collect crucial intelligence under the eyes of their army. We must use the wisdom of Germany to deal with these self-wise enemies. When timely and important intelligence is sent to our headquarters, we will be not far from the revival of Germany!"

After such a passionate speech, Lynn was confidently waiting for everyone's warm response. As expected, applause rang out in the dark cabin, which was just dull, and some people shouted "Good words". However, Lynn observed calmly. The intelligence team directly under Colonel Bertleme was not included. The old intelligence personnel from South America were also relatively dull. However, Lynn felt that they did not lack recognition of their speeches, but because Germany had sent intelligence personnel to the United States many times before, they suffered the misfortune of failure. As peers, they probably regarded the United States as the place where intelligence workers died, and naturally regarded the United States' counterintelligence work and local defense as a terrible power grid. How could they blame the stupidity of their peers and the vigilance of American residents?

It is said that when the head of state gave speeches around Germany, people often shouted fantasticly, "Please tell me another paragraph", but this situation still happened to Lynn. The atmosphere was set off, but the real hidden worries in people's hearts were not eliminated. After about an hour, a rhythmic knocking signal came from the dark cabin. As the two candles were extinguished, the only faint light disappeared, and the tense and depressing atmosphere came again. The back was vertical.

At the hard bulkhead, Lin Neng smiled bitterly alone: ​​This is very similar to the situation of the empire. The powerful Allies and Soviet troops are preparing to gather together to share the victory. Their respective citizens have been deeply hurt by the war, so they cherish the upcoming comprehensive peace. It is not easy to provoke a war between them? Before the light comes again, the elites of the empire can only endure this most painful but critical period in this dark cabin that is not easy to be discovered by outsiders.

Not long after, footsteps sounded in the cargo hold above, and the light that penetrated from the gaps in the wooden board could be seen. It was a flashlight of the boarding inspector, and then the sound of moving heavy objects. Lynn didn't know much about the procedures for customs clearance and entry into the port in this era. During the voyage, he also tried to ask the officers under Burtleme who had been doing intelligence for many years, but they seemed to have discussed it long ago. No matter how they asked questions, they just gave very technical answers - it should, maybe, always, and "Don't worry, someone will arrange everything." He was not in his place before.

, Lynn was not qualified to accuse the intelligence department of being slow or ignorant. In fact, in terms of technical reconnaissance such as aerial photography, telephoto, and tactical infiltration, the German army has always performed very well. The SS Gestapo's cleaning up in China was also effective, but they almost failed in intelligence work abroad. The successful cases in memory seem to be the only one that rescued Mussolini - it was Bethlem's team who made great contributions, but other than that, they did not perform well, so that Andri could only use "almost success" to conceal his long-term mediocrity when introducing it.

Lin En thought heavily in his heart that he had no chance to count on others, it depends on how much energy his own Xiaoqiang, who has been tempered by the war, can exert.
