Chapter 444: Bullshit

"General, there are British and merchant ships nearby. If we fire on a German unarmed warship now, we will take a huge risk. The German squadron is in the Atlantic Ocean! They almost destroyed Lisbon last time!" The deputy reminded loudly. This officer also realized that he was in the middle of the trick, and he was also very angry, but at this time, he should not be arrogant now, otherwise the consequences would not be something they could bear! Maybe the Germans are just waiting for the Italians to open fire!

"General, our primary task now is to verify the identity of the other party immediately, and at the same time rush to Taranto Bay. Maybe we can still block the Turkish fleet that is moving east, otherwise, once the Turkish fleet enters the Dardanelles, we The main force of the warship will have to be used to contain this warship!" the deputy said sincerely.

"We have no reason to attack them! They are German ships that can pass through this sea freely, and they have not taken any hostile actions. We just launched an encirclement and suppression under the influence of subconsciousness! It is true that this is a German trick, but We have to say that there are no loopholes in this strategy..."

"Let the torpedo boat go up and verify, let's chase that nasty mouse!" The Duke of Abu Qilu calmed his emotions, and then ordered.

Major Frederick stopped the ship at the request of the Italians, but refused to board the ship for inspection. Then the Germans above began to remove the camouflage on the ship. And when faced with the question of the Italian officer: Why do you disguise as the appearance of the Mainz armored cruiser. The major answered like this.

"As a German test ship, we don't follow our own cruiser settings, do we still pretend to be Italian warships? We just want to make this test more realistic, and it seems very successful now!" The major sarcastically mocked Italy. people.

"Then we have verified our identities, and we will continue our trial voyages. Please do not interfere with us in your country's fleet!" After sending the flag, the decoy boat K restarted and started to head north. They will head to Austria-Hungary. The empire was located in a port on the Adriatic Sea, and returned after being supplied and maintained.

"If nothing goes wrong, the German fleet will definitely head to Turkey. We will definitely not be able to pursue it directly. I will now take the entire fleet to the Aegean Sea to see if I can block the opponent! Even if it cannot destroy the Prince Albert, I will also try to destroy another German warship. If they go together, the speed will not be very good, because that ship should be a merchant ship and his speed will not be very high."

Although the Duke’s mind was hit hard and his words were a bit inverted, he still has to say that his thinking is basically correct. Now the northern search for the Turkish fleet will definitely not catch up. Estimated according to time, the Turkish fleet I have already left Taranto Bay, and it takes too much time to go northward and then search and pursue it. However, the Turkish fleet can only choose one direction, which is the Dardanelles. As long as the Italian fleet can now be one step ahead of the Germans , Then the decline can still be restored.

But unfortunately, the Italians miscalculated again this time, because only the cruiser Prince Albert was heading to the Dardanelles, and the other assault ship was heading towards the Adriatic. The Italians assumed the Turkish fleet It was traveling at 15 knots, but in fact, the cruiser Prince Albert reached 19 knots! He will reach the destination faster!

What is even more tragic is that until now, the Italian Navy has not found the assault ship Sea Wolf operating on the eastern coast of Sicily! This assault ship sailed on the sea like an ordinary merchant ship, and then secretly walked around the port, taking advantage of the absence of any ships around, dropping dozens or hundreds of mines and ripping away people!

However, no one would have thought that the first large ship lost by Italy in this war was actually sunk by the Sea Wolf!

The ship, converted from a fast cruise ship, into a transport ship Maria departed from Taranto at night, relying on a higher speed to avoid the attack of the Schel fleet. They did not know that the Schel fleet had crossed the Strait of Messina. Murderously rushed towards Taranto Bay.

At this time, the cruise ship with a displacement of up to 8,500 tons was carrying 2,000 heavily armed Italian officers and soldiers and about 500 tons of supplies heading towards Tripoli. At this time, the speed of this ship is as high as 18 knots! The Italians did not arrange a **** for this ship, because there is no ship in the Turkish fleet that can run faster than the Maria!

"Captain, there seems to be a ship on the rocks over there!" The telescope in his hand was greatly lowered and pointed to the distance. In the distance, a ship had already tilted seriously, and the people on it seemed to have abandoned the ship and jumped into the water.

"It's Sicily, if I remember correctly, according to the plan, it should return from Tripoli just yesterday. God, poor Sicily." The second officer exclaimed after careful identification.

Since it is a friendly army, it is natural to pull it. The Maria sailed to the sinking transport ship at high speed, and when preparing to save as many people from the water as possible, he did not see the remaining people on the ship waving at them. Do not approach...

The Maria, sailing at high speed, unfortunately hit a mine filled with 150kg of yellow explosive! The huge hull passed over the mine. When the hull hit the contact outside the mine, under the action of the fuze, 150kg of yellow explosive exploded near the keel of the Maria cruise ship! The intense energy compresses seawater~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and the seawater is almost impossible to compress. The huge energy is directly transmitted to the bottom of the hull. With a loud noise, the high temperature and high pressure bubbles of several hundreds of Shred the double bottom!

The terrible shock wave was only slightly consumed, and the remaining energy even blasted the nearby keel to pieces! You must know that the Maria cruise ship is not a warship, there is almost no underwater protection, and even the warships of this era, most of them can not withstand a mine attack! Don’t you see the best super fearless in history when the British went to war, the Bold was not also sunk by an old trigger mine? And achieved the reputation of being bold and thunderous....

The smashing of the keel was just the beginning. The remaining shock waves continued to tear the entire hull. Several large cracks quickly spread to the water part of the hull, and the turbulent sea also poured in from the bottom of the ship and continued to tear the broken hull. In just ten seconds, the cruise ship was torn in half by the violent explosion and the impact of the sea! The bow part of the ship quickly sank into the book, and the vortex formed when it sank engulfed most of the people who escaped diving into the seabed!

What’s more frightening is that the violent vibrations and collisions inside the ship detonated the picric shells placed on the bottom of the ship. When the second half of the hull had not completely sunk, a series of explosions came from the inside of the hull. In this way, there was no more People have the chance to be spared! No one could have imagined that after the war in Italy, a mine successfully wiped out a regiment of Italians...
