For the Soviet, the transportation of goods mainly depended on railways, but Tiksi did not have railways. It can be said that Tiksi mainly provided a temporary stop for ships on the Arctic route.

Although the Soviet Union has a vast land, what is really inhabited is Europe. Most of the Far East is simply not suitable for human habitation.

Therefore, the material transportation in sokolovka base seems to be a problem, such as aviation fuel.

The Soviet Union was not short of oil, but after the oil base was bombed, it was extremely difficult to obtain fuel. The fuel of ordinary fighters is not enough, and even alcohol is used to replace it. As for bombers, the fuel needed is often dozens of tons.

Now, a flight of B-29 bombers requires more than ten tons of fuel, and the whole flight regiment now has 20 bombers, it needs two or three hundred tons of fuel. If it flies five times a month, it needs at least thousands of tons of fuel!

Even if they are strategic bombers, I'm afraid they have to worry about fuel at this time.

Standing next to sokolovka Town, looking at the sea in the distance, the cold sea breeze blew on his face like a knife, and libergo's eyes were still sad.

"What's the matter? No confidence? " Just then, the regimental commander, Walter zyego, came over and asked him.

No one likes to garrison in this desolate place. There are no prosperous cities around. There are no enthusiastic Russian girls. There are only aunts in the nearby villages, which is difficult for people to adapt.

But more, it is a kind of worry, which envelops everyone.

The worries are different. Generally speaking, can the Soviets persist to the end? Small said, what about fuel?

"Yes, every time we fly, the fuel consumption is huge." Libergo said, "can we stick to it here for a long time?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw something strange on the sea in the distance. The sea was rippling and spreading from the middle to both sides.

A dark thing seems to be emerging from under the sea. Is it a whale?

When the big guy slowly floated up, finally, libergo saw clearly that it was a submarine!

"Look, our fuel has arrived." Waltzjego smiled and said, "go and have a look."

This is a class C submarine. The main submarine of the Soviet Navy.

This is a diesel electric submarine with a full displacement of more than 1000 tons. In March 1934, the technical design was completed by the Soviet Union and a Dutch company. As the parent type, there were a batch of German A-type submarines. From the completion of the design to the beginning of the war, the Soviet Union manufactured a total of 27 submarines.

In the whole world War II, the Soviet Navy did not play a great role. Now, the Soviet Union's Northern Fleet is blocked at home, while the Baltic Fleet and the Black Sea fleet have been destroyed, leaving only the Pacific Fleet in the Far East, which is almost intact, that is, it has lost some in the escort.

The Pacific Fleet in the Far East has 91 submarines of various types. There are seven class C submarines. Now, these submarines are used to do one thing.

Transportation.

It was no accident to use submarines for transportation. The Soviet Union withdrew the female sniper Lyudmila with submarines. The gold intercepted by Germany from Spain was also transported by submarines.

Germany's submarines have a large displacement and can transport a lot, but the Soviet Union is different. This 1000 ton submarine has transformed the torpedo cabin in front of it, and can only transport 300 tons of aviation fuel at a time.

The Germans used submarines to ambush, causing heavy losses to the Soviet Union, and almost all surface transportation was interrupted. At this time, the Soviets actually thought of this way to use submarines to transport supplies!

The seven C-class submarines of the Pacific fleet are all used to transport fuel from Alaska to tiksy. If they are transported twice a month, they can transport 4000 tons of aviation fuel. Therefore, fuel is no longer a problem for sokolovka base!

At this time, submarines have risen. This is an absolutely safe area. German submarines cannot operate near the port. At the same time, even if Germans find that their own side uses submarines for transportation, they have no choice. In this era, submarines can only be used to deal with surface ships and boats, and submarine confrontation can not be carried out underwater at all.

In the whole world War II, the results of submarine sinking were in the floating state. When there was no vent pipe, the submarine was floating most of the time and would dive only when attacking.

At this time, after a long underwater voyage, the submarine finally came to the base. Just after it surfaced, the hatch was opened, and a submarine soldier breathed the air outside.

"I can finally float up. It's really uncomfortable under the water." The sailor breathed greedily and sighed.

It's terrible.

The secret of the vent pipe of German submarines has not been concealed for too long. Soviet submarines have also begun to use the vent pipe. In the process of their transportation, they are almost always underwater.

Even if there is a vent pipe, it can't stop the stronger and stronger smell.

In the past, there was only the smell of diesel in submarines, even if it was enough. But now, they transport high-grade aviation gasoline, which volatilizes even more.

The smell inside is unbearable.

"The route ahead is normal and will arrive at the mooring wharf soon." At this time, the sailor acted as a lookout at the same time. He shouted down and waved to the people on the shore.

"Welcome." Soon, when we arrived at the dock, waltzjego shouted, "you're too timely."

At this time, the base has not been supplemented with any aviation fuel. The arrival of the submarine will give them the capital to start immediately.

"We also want to be faster." Just then, a bearded captain came out from below: "when we get to the shore, we have to come up first, breathe the air, and then smoke a cigarette. It's going to suffocate. "

Libergo looked at the submarine and leaned against the wharf next to the base. He had a new understanding of the location here. He could transport American reinforcements by sea or inland equipment by inland river. At the same time, he didn't have to worry about being discovered by the Germans. The layout here is too clever.

At this time, the submarine soldiers filed out, the fuel pipeline of the base had not been paved, and several oil tank trucks started to pump oil from the submarine.
