"Chief engineer, they want us to surrender." The sound came clearly along the sea breeze, and the French sailors immediately lost their sense of war when they heard the sound.

As romantic French, they don't like fighting, and they don't like fighting that is doomed to failure. Now, this is the situation. The bridge of their warship has been destroyed, a large number of officers have been killed, and the soldiers at the lower level have no fighting will at all.

The sailor shouted anxiously to Joseph.

Joseph raised his head. His eyes were red. At this time, his heart was facing a difficult choice.

What should I do?

General labard, Colonel gerary and others were killed in the war. Should he avenge them? But is there any possibility of revenge?

Surrender? This is a disgrace to the soldiers. In particular, if he gives this order, it is what he is unwilling to do.

He can't be alone. He's just a engineer.

Joseph didn't speak. He just stared at the people around him. His eyes were full of complex feelings. It seemed that he was asking them, what should I do?

"Chief engineer, chief engineer, it's bad. Outside, there are a lot of rubber boats approaching us."

Hearing this, Joseph was finally moved. He stood up and ran out.

When he ran to the upper deck, he could see clearly. At this time, the German warship, only one nautical mile away from his own side, could clearly see the other side's black muzzle, aiming at his own ship. It can be imagined that a 283 mm naval gun, just firing, would certainly send his side to hell!

At the same time, behind each other, there are large rubber boats speeding towards them!

The history of inflatable boats can be traced back to 880 BC, when Assyrian troops inflated animal skins so that they could pass through rivers.

At the same time, in ancient China, song and Ming Dynasties, people also used sealed and gas filled animal skins to pass through the river.

The modern rubber boat also needs to start from 1912, when the car tire of Berlin business owner Gelman maiden exploded, along with his 16-year-old son Albert.

In this era, if you want to drive a car, you must be able to repair the car. They mended the inner tube, inflated enough, and filled a basin with water to check whether there was an air leak.

At this time, menal had an inspiration: if the inner tube is installed with a bottom, isn't it a boat?!

So, just do it. Father and son bonded such a boat. In order to prevent damage to the rubber, it was first covered with a net, and then covered with a linen coat.

After receiving the invention patent license, they performed their achievements to the soldiers on a waterway in Berlin. Unfortunately, it did not arouse the interest of the troops at that time.

After all, a bullet can break through rubber. Such a rubber boat has no use value.

But they were not discouraged. In 1916, the two inventors began to set up a small workshop to produce their own rubber boats.

Although it did not enter the military department, the first aid department was interested in the product. By 1925, there were more than 100 workers in the small workshop of maiden, and began to produce the mattress invented by Albert.

Now, the rubber boats used by the Marines come from the rubber boat factory in Albert!

The army was not interested in this kind of thing, but the newly established Marine Corps found that the rubber boat was a very good water tool.

When not in use, it can release air and can be easily carried. When in use, it can inflate quickly to meet the needs of crossing the river.

Moreover, at the request of the Marine Corps, Albert factory also developed the current large rubber boat, which can accommodate an infantry squad. At the same time, there is a small motorcycle engine at the tail to drive a propeller.

It is mainly used on rivers, and now at sea, they use it without fear!

The 26 horsepower engine at the tail roared, and the propeller drove the sea water. The whole rubber boat, with the waves up and down, waves came up from time to time, beating the soldiers in the rubber boat all wet.

However, they did not hesitate. Their eyes were firm and resolute!

At the front is the soldier of the 1st Battalion of the 1st Grenadier regiment of the Marine Corps. The battalion commander, major Reinhart haldagen, holds an mp38 "submachine gun" in his hand and has a murderous look in his eyes.

"Rush, rush, we are Marines, we are sea dragons and land heroes. There is no task we can't complete!" Haldagen was extremely excited.

Originally, their mission was to prepare for landing in France with other troops, but now they are still at sea and suddenly received a new mission.

Just after the order from Berlin came, the Marines were mobilized. When their own warships had an advantage, they boarded each other's warships and completely controlled each other's warships!

This kind of mission, for the Marine Corps, is just within the scope of their training! They fight all day and train all kinds of combat skills of marine infantry.

Originally, they planned to rush ashore with the tanks. Now, after the order was issued, they unfolded their rubber boat in the landing ship, inflated it, and then drove out from the open hatch of the landing ship!

As the newly established Marine Corps, they will never discredit their troops!

Reinhart haldagen was born in Bremen on March 18, 1913 and began his naval career in April 1933.

Historically, he was trained as a flight observer at first, and then became a pilot. Later, because of an accident, he left the plane and joined the submarine force.

In this way, it was not until February 1945 that he became a battalion commander of the 6th Marine Regiment.

Because there was no submarine force to serve him.

Now, history has changed. After the establishment of the Marine Corps, he was transferred to the Marine Corps and became a glorious battalion commander. He is writing his loyalty to the empire with his own life, whether in the sky, at sea or on land.

Because the speed of landing ships was not as fast as that of warships, they always lagged behind. When they caught up, they just completed the task of forcing the other party to surrender, blew up the other party's bridge and 283mm naval gun, putting great pressure on the other party.

The arrival of the Marine Corps is the last straw to crush the other party's will.
