"Woo woo." The train whistled into the station.

There is an unpleasant smell in the tank car. In recent days, they have almost surrounded the whole of Spain. The disadvantage is that they are almost falling apart these days. The strongest soldiers will collapse if they hold in the tank car for a few days.

The advantage is that they finally transported the gold in this carriage to the port safely!

Pushing open the door of the tank car, a fresh sea breeze blew over, and everyone felt much more comfortable.

"Come on, come on, come on!" At this time, Alexander's eyes were full of blood. In the past few days, he revised the route many times and finally transported the gold to the port without fail.

Now, those German eyes may still be waiting for themselves in the southern port. Alexander was very proud and quite calm all the way.

Now, there's only one last thing left. Take the gold and get it on board!

The train drove directly to the port, and there was a distance of more than 100 meters from the train parking space in the port to the Soviet cargo ship Amur moored on the wharf.

There's only one last thing left.

Alexander cheer up. He knows that he must not relax his vigilance now. Maybe those guys will come here to rob him? 600 tons of gold, which is a number that makes countless people crazy.

Moreover, the handling work is very slow.

Standing at the top of the dock, Alexander personally supervised the handling, which was the last task.

As long as the gold is loaded on the cargo ship, Alexander's mission is over.

After all, cargo ships are the territory of a country at sea. No one will intercept cargo ships without justified reasons.

Meanwhile, in order to prevent accidents, the cargo ship Amur will never act by itself. The Soviet warship Tashkent class destroyer has arrived here at the same time. When it returns, it will provide protection all the way.

In fact, the scale of this destroyer is a little small. If the news of Amur transporting gold is leaked, it may attract more coveters. However, this destroyer represents the Soviet Union. The attack on this warship means declaring war on the Soviet Union.

All countries will certainly weigh it. In the end, they can only watch their own warships escort the transport ship away, and they absolutely dare not start.

Moreover, only this one will not attract the attention of other countries. If a large number of warships are sent, the British will certainly be the first to be vigilant.

The most worrying thing is land. As long as he gets on the ship and leaves the port, Alexander can breathe a sigh of relief.

He didn't know that someone was already observing the roof of a small building a few kilometers away from the port.

"As we guessed, the Soviets unloaded and loaded the ship from here." Facing the sea breeze and observing this side carefully with a telescope, Reinhart sat down and relaxed.

"Major Reinhart, you are so divine!" The assistant said in worship.

"On land, it's nothing. We'll inform captain skorzny to come down and see them." Reinhart said.

Reinhart regretted that he could not rob the gold on the ground under various factors. His task was just to supervise and find all the other party's intelligence, and the operation was entrusted to the people led by skorzny.

I really want to grab those gold myself.

The gold was moved for a whole day. When night fell, the Amur and Tashkent class destroyers secretly left the port and embarked on the return journey.

Amur is a cargo ship with a displacement of 1000 tons. Now, it is loaded with 600 tons of gold. The cargo ship is very heavy. It has a deep water and its speed has been reduced.

The two big chimneys at the top kept emitting black smoke. The boiler was working at full power. Unfortunately, it could only drive the ship to 12 knots.

Compared with cargo ships, this is a good speed. Some of the later supertankers can only travel at a speed of 6 knots.

The Tashkent class on the other side is a little impatient.

The Tashkent class in history is a warship built by the Italians with the help of the Soviet Union. It was not built until 37 years later. It belongs to a high-speed ship. During the trial voyage, it once ran out of a high speed of 43.5 knots, which is regarded as a complete merit and virtue.

Now, Germany has robbed the Italian contract, or it has nothing to do with the Italians. During his visit, chirek successfully took down the ship and gave it to the Soviet Union, which is also very satisfied.

Therefore, the Tashkent class is different from history. For example, from the power point of view, the warship does not use boilers, but uses the latest German man diesel engine. Although only two are equipped, it can also make the warship soar to a high speed of 30 knots. At the same time, the endurance brought by the diesel engine is also greatly improved, more than 10000 nautical miles.

After the warship was equipped with the Soviet Navy, they were very satisfied. If it was not for the subsequent aircraft carrier procurement plan, the Soviet Union planned to ask Germany to provide several more warships of the same type.

Now, on the Tashkent class destroyer, Captain Nikolay is standing on the bridge, looking at the dark night sky with some anxiety in his heart.

"Amur, why is it so slow? Can't they hurry up? " Said Nikolay.

"We've been urged by the lights, but the Amur is a cargo ship after all. It's very difficult at its current speed." Chief officer grasi said to him.

"I don't know what those people in Moscow think." Nikolay said, "why don't you send a clipper."

Nikolay doesn't have to deal with things on land. However, when he comes to the sea, Nikolay is the nanny. He must ensure the safety of Amur. The shorter the time at sea, the better. At the current speed, he has to walk for half a month!

Now, the Great Purge that took place in the Soviet Union has not yet begun. If Nikolay said this in another year, it would be enough to kill him.

"Gracie, you're on duty." Nikolay finally left the bridge reluctantly. He was tired. It was time to go back and rest. The sea voyage was destined to be long.

On the lower floor, in the engine room, the engineers yawned and were sleepy in the noise and vibration.

This can be said to be the most difficult place on the whole warship, and it is also the only place where the military capacity does not need to be guaranteed. For example, today's marine engineers almost wear only one underpants, and still sweat constantly falls down.

It was a normal night.
