It's calm in the Gulf of Mexico.

Criru is an oil tanker with a displacement of more than 20000 tons. In this era, it is already a big Mac with a considerable displacement. Now, it is sailing slowly in the Gulf of Mexico.

Black smoke came out of the chimney at the top, and the boiler was burning vigorously.

Although the displacement of this tanker is huge, its operators are not many. There are only more than 20 sailors. On this ship, sailor Roy is standing on the deck of the bloated tanker and looking into the distance.

Their destination this time is South Africa. Originally, most of Mexico's steady oil production was exported to Europe. However, with Germany's large-scale oil exploitation in Libya and the continuous expansion in the Middle East, the oil production of these oilfields is enough for the whole Europe. Therefore, Mexico's oil can only be exported to other countries, South Africa is in the process of continuous development, and the oil demand is steadily increasing.

In addition to South Africa, their oil is also exported to the United States, South America and other countries. Especially in the United States, there is a great demand. Stimulated by the war, although the oil industry in the United States has started to the extreme, it still can not meet the demand.

This voyage will be a long voyage for two or three months. Roy has long been used to it. However, under the shadow of war, everyone's heart is heavy.

Germany has completed its occupation of Europe and is at war with the United States. Although Mexico is now strictly neutral, it is always dangerous on the vast ocean.

Thinking of this, Roy shook his head. What does this world war have to do with his little sailor?

Roy looked at the sea in the distance. Under the wind, the sea swayed up and down, and seagulls were flying on the sea. This picture is so spectacular.

Suddenly, his eyes were attracted by the movement on the sea.

Why did a string of small bubbles suddenly appear on the sea?

The small bubble is constantly moving forward, and the goal is pointing to its own side!

It can't be an ordinary bubble. It seems to be? Thinking of this, he felt every hair on his body stand up.

"Attention, torpedo, starboard, a torpedo is attacking us!"

Roy shouted loudly. His voice reached the cockpit behind him. The captain with a beard looked to the starboard side and saw the small bubbles swimming towards his side. At this moment, he also knew that the judgment of his sailors was correct.

Torpedo!

If they were a warship, they could steer at high speed and avoid it. But now it's different. They are just an ordinary oil tanker with a maximum speed of less than ten knots. Therefore, they can only watch the torpedo come towards their own side, and then plunge into their own starboard side.

It's over. It's all over.

At this moment, the captain was extremely desperate in his heart, and the other crew members were also desperate. They were oil tankers! Without all kinds of protective measures, as long as you are hit, you will certainly sink the ship, and there will be a lot of fuel leakage.

After entering the oil age, there is a terrible risk of leakage when transporting crude oil by sea, which will cause serious ecological disaster.

The captain closed his eyes and waited for the terrible moment.

But a few seconds later, he opened his eyes.

There was no expected terrible explosion. There was nothing. He looked down at his side of the ship. Everything was normal there.

Was it just a miscarriage of justice? Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Just then, Roy heard a voice again: "second torpedo!"

The terrible bubble came out again and rushed over the sea quickly. In everyone's eyes, the torpedo had a close contact with the hull with a fierce attack.

"Boom!"

This time, not as lucky as last time.

The first time I came, it was a smelly bomb. It didn't explode, but the second one exploded.

With the loud explosion, there was a shaking of the hull, and then a gurgling sound was heard.

The crude oil carried in the ship began to leak out!

"Come on, send a help signal!" Cried the captain.

If they were on the high seas outside, they would be in trouble. Now they are only in the Gulf of Mexico, not far from the coastline. They still have the possibility of being rescued. They can be rescued before the ship completely sank.

Roy leaned against the side of the ship, and the hull was slowly tilting. He watched the black crude oil flow into the sea. He looked at the blue sea, which was dyed black.

Sea fish are struggling in the black crude oil, they can't breathe, they can't swim, they are dying helplessly and sadly, their bodies float on the sea and stay with the crude oil.

These sea fish attracted the attention of birds in the sky. A sea bird swooped down from the sky and, as before, was ready to pick up one of the fish with its own mouth to complete a perfect predation action. However, when its mouth touched the sea fish, it immediately found something bad. It had no time to turn, and inertia made it rush into the crude oil. Then, Every feather of it is contaminated with crude oil. It struggles in crude oil and finally integrates with crude oil.

Looking at all this, Roy was extremely angry. Who did it?

Mexico, a neutral country, actually uses submarines and torpedoes to attack neutral ships, which is simply blatantly undermining international norms and international order!

The oil tanker criru was attacked by an unidentified torpedo in the Gulf of Mexico, the tanker sank and a large amount of crude oil leaked. This news immediately became the headlines of the day in the newspaper.

The atmosphere in Mexico City, the capital of Mexico, is also very depressing.

"The Germans must have done it. We have started the accident investigation. All the spearheads are pointing at Germany."

After receiving the news, the US ambassador to Mexico immediately rushed to the presidential palace to explain the situation to President Camacho.

Who would be so crazy except the Germans? It's intolerable to attack the oil tanker!

"The goal of the Germans is to stop Mexico's oil transportation and destroy Mexico's economy. The goal of the Germans is to rule the world. Now, Mexico has no choice but to stand with the United States." The ambassador of Mexico continued.

"Mr. ambassador, why are you so sure?" Suppressing his anger, President Camacho said.

"Of course, is there any doubt? It wasn't the Germans. Who else did it? " The U.S. ambassador to Mexico said: "the torpedoes we use are electric torpedoes. The oil tanker hit this time can see clear bubbles. That is the thermal torpedo. It must be owned by German talents."

The Mexican ambassador was relaxed. He really gave them a great opportunity. The Germans actually came to fight Mexican oil tankers. Now, can Mexico not follow the United States?

"We will find out the truth. No one can hinder our oil development." President Camacho said.
