The Paris Commune exploded and was about to sink.

Sitting on the red Caucasus, less than an hour after Gorshkov's career as a fleet commander, he received this speechless report.

On the sea, the Paris Commune in the distance was more than 20 nautical miles away from them. Originally, we could see the navigation lights on the Paris Commune with a telescope to show its position, but now we can't see anything.

Gorshkov's face was rather ugly: "now, we must find out the cause of the explosion of the Paris Commune, whether it was attacked by the enemy or a mechanical failure."

On the red Caucasus, several senior commanders of the Black Sea fleet are under intense negotiation.

"It's not like being attacked. If attacked, the Paris Commune should explode and catch fire." Said an officer.

In their view, if they were attacked and shot, they should explode and catch fire. There was a fire on the sea, which could be seen clearly without a telescope, but now it was dark in the distance.

If it wasn't attacked, it should be a mechanical failure. After all, the warship was too old. It was planned to be repaired in the dock last year, and there was no time.

However, if so, it will make Moscow angry. Moscow will not care how much military spending. It is facing a war and has not started the war. As a result, the most powerful battleship on its side was sunk due to mechanical failure, and the whole Black Sea fleet may roll from top to bottom.

Gorshkov must take these into account. In later generations, he has been a naval commander for decades and worked under many general secretaries. He has this nerve.

Now, the accident of the Paris Commune will make their battle more risky. The German fleet is already very strong. The 70000 ton battleships are definitely things that can't be used as guns. The 305 mm guns on the Paris Commune may not be able to sink each other. Now, the Paris commune has sunk, and the rest of these heavy patrols, You can't even have the confidence to face each other.

Although in the plan, the surface ship is the supporting role and the naval aviation is the main force of the attack, since Gorshkov has been appointed as the fleet commander, there is still hope. After his own aviation forces lay down the other party's main warship, his own side can go up and pick up the leak!

The main force to pick up the leak is the Paris Commune. Who thought there was an accident.

Moreover, Gorshkov always had a hunch that it would not be so smooth this time. What if there was a real attack from Germany?

"The fleet sails at full speed. The formation maintains a high speed of 30 knots and reaches the target sea area as soon as possible." Gorshkov said.

Originally, the Paris Commune was slow. Although it started early, it had to be left behind. Now without the Paris Commune, the remaining warships can finally speed up safely.

Ten oil fired boilers began to burn at full power, spraying heavy oil, and black smoke came out of the chimney. High temperature and high pressure steam pushed four brown Curtis steam turbines, and 55000 horsepower pushed the propeller. With the high-speed rotation of the propeller, the noise became louder.

Along the sea, the noise spread forward and was clearly received by U-100 submarine.

"The Soviet fleet has accelerated and is expected to meet in ten minutes." Said the sonar.

"Launch tubes 1 and 2, load t4falke torpedo, launch tubes 3, 4, 5 and 6, load g7e electric torpedo." Shepke said.

A XXI submarine can carry a total of 23 torpedoes. Four of the most powerful hydrogen peroxide torpedoes have been emptied. There are still two of the four most advanced acoustic guided torpedoes, and the rest are electric torpedoes.

In fact, although the performance data of hydrogen peroxide torpedo is very prominent, it will produce bubbles. Therefore, it is still electric torpedoes that attack silently. After years of development, German electric torpedoes are also quite advanced.

At the same time, what the XXI submarine most welcomed by the submarine soldiers was not its amazing underwater speed and excellent equipment, but its loading system.

The submarine uses the latest hydraulic loading system and can load 18 torpedoes in 20 minutes. Other ordinary submarines take 10 to 20 minutes to load a torpedo.

Only with rapid loading can it have combat effectiveness. For example, now its six launch tubes are full of torpedoes.

Shepke's periscope continued to look at the sea. The biggest failure of the Soviets this night was that they didn't know to turn off their navigation lights!

The wave height is about half a meter. You can clearly see the bright spots on the sea.

This is also for safety. When sailing at high speed at sea, only turning on the navigation lights can avoid collision and falling behind.

Just as shepke was silently waiting for his fighter and planned to attack in the most suitable place, someone started earlier than him.

In World War I, the German Navy was handy in the operation of submarines. In World War II, the submarine force of the German Navy also got great development. Now there are more than a dozen submarines in the Black Sea. When shepke has achieved results, other submarines are certainly unwilling to lag behind.

Three nautical miles away from U-100 submarine, u-96 submarine is in the state of ventilation pipe navigation.

This submarine is not equipped with AIP System, so it is in the state of ventilation pipe navigation most of the time.

Just half an hour ago, it turned off its noisy diesel engine and waited for its own chance.

Heinrich willenbrook, an orphan, grew up in an orphanage, which tempered his extremely firm heart and made him find his own position in the submarine that needs to fight alone at sea. No matter what happens, he is always calm and calm.

Now, Soviet warships appear in his vision, and he is more bold and careful.

"Right rudder, forward three." Willenbrook said.

Forward three? Hearing his words, the vice captain looked uneasy. Now, he is less than a nautical mile away from the Soviet fleet and is already at the attack distance. What are you going to do?

However, no one can challenge his authority. His words are military orders.

The propeller at the tail of u-96 submarine began to rotate, and the huge submarine continued to accelerate and accelerate underwater. Then, the rudder at the tail began to control the submarine steering, and it was about to collide with the Soviet fleet!

"Right rudder one." Willenbrook continued to shout. At this time, the vice captain had understood that he was going to drill into the middle of the Soviet fleet!
