Captain John frowned tightly, and as time passed, his mood became more and more serious. He had a faint feeling that news of their secret mission this time had been leaked. Otherwise, the Germans would not have discovered them by such a coincidence.
Of course, it may also be a coincidence. If it is a coincidence, that would be the best. That way, they might still be able to escape. If it is not a coincidence, then they are in danger this time.
Captain John, who didn't sleep all night, was very tired. But he forced himself to pull himself together. The next time is the most dangerous time, and there is no room for negligence. If they are not careful, they may die here.
In less than half an hour, the watchman of the destroyer "Lancaster" issued an alarm.
Captain John's complexion suddenly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
"Captain, we found German destroyers. There are six of them in our northwest, southwest and west!" An officer reported.
"Asshole! This is a trap!" Captain John couldn't help cursing.
The German Navy actually assembled six destroyers here, and there was no doubt that they were here. If it is general training, there is no need to gather so many destroyers at all. Obviously, the Germans already knew their mission and were here to wait for them.
It's just that the current Captain John has no mind to deal with this, he has to find a way to lead the battleship to escape.
Although the performance of the destroyer 'Lancaster' is good, it is not inferior to the destroyers of the German Navy in one-on-one terms. However, in the case of a pair of six, the destroyer 'Lancaster' has no chance of winning at all. The six destroyers of the German Navy will easily send them to the bottom of the sea.
"Turn! Turn now. We can't go any further!" Captain John gave the order.
If you continue to move forward, you will only fall into the siege of the destroyers of the German Navy, and you will only end up being sunk. If they turn back, it will certainly make the mission fail this time, but at least they can be preserved. The most important thing is to be able to keep that gold.
"Yes, Captain!" The navigator immediately went to control the rudder himself.
The destroyer "Lancaster" drew an arc on the sea, quickly completed the turn, and wanted to escape back to the UK.
But then, Captain John and other British naval officers and men despaired. Because, in front of them, a huge warship appeared. That battleship was the battlecruiser 'Blücher'. The three triple-mounted 50-caliber 305mm main guns of the battlecruiser "Blücher" have already raised their barrels high.
"Fire!"
Fleet Commander Rear Admiral Lubeck, issued an order.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The three triple-mounted 50-caliber 305mm main guns began to roar, and the shells roared and smashed into the destroyer "Lancaster".
"God! The German battlecruiser." Captain John looked desperate.
"What should we do? Captain, the Germans have even appeared on the battlecruisers, can we still escape?" The other officers also looked terrified. They are just a small destroyer, and the battlecruisers of the German Navy can sink them with only one shot.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The shell fell beside the destroyer 'Lancaster', and after the explosion, a high column of water was splashed.
"Turn southwest, speed up and rush over!" Captain John ordered.
The destroyer 'Lancaster' continued to turn, trying to evacuate from the southwest. However, they soon discovered that a huge battleship also appeared there. That was the light cruiser "Magdeburg" of the German Navy, with a displacement of more than 4,500 tons, equipped with four triple-mounted 105mm main guns, and a maximum speed of 27.6 knots.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
When the light cruiser "Magdeburg" also started firing, a dense rain of bullets suddenly fell around the destroyer "Lancaster", making the destroyer "Lancaster" dangerous.
"Damn, it's another German light cruiser, what should we do?" This time, even Captain John didn't know what to do.
It can be said that they have completely fallen into the siege of the German navy. In all directions were warships of the German Navy. There are not only powerful battlecruisers and light cruisers, but also fast destroyers. This makes the light cruiser "Lancaster" difficult to fly even if it is wrong!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The battleships surrounded by the German army fired continuously, and the shells exploded around the destroyer "Lancaster", making this small destroyer like a small boat in a storm, which may capsize at any time.
"Captain, the Germans have sent a clear telegram." A signal soldier reported.
"What do the Germans want?" Captain John asked.
"Captain, the Germans asked us to keep the gold, or we will be sunk! They repeatedly emphasized that if we don't cooperate, they will kill us all!" The signal soldier swallowed a mouthful of swearing, and then said .
"Gold? We have gold on our warships?"
"My God! It turns out that the goods we loaded last night were all gold. No wonder the Germans are chasing us."
"What should we do now? If the gold is not given to the Germans, they will kill us!"
"Damn Germans, are they trying to violate international conventions?"
"Hmph! Now Germany is the most powerful country in the world. Even if they kill us all, no one can do anything to them!"
The officers and soldiers of the British navy on the destroyer 'Lancaster' chattered one after another.
Captain John's brows were already tightly knit together. The Germans really came for the gold. He received the task of safely transporting the gold to Canada. Failing that, the gold would have to be sunk to the bottom of the sea before it fell into German hands.
But now, those despicable Germans are threatening them with their lives. This put Captain John in a dilemma. He had no doubt that the Germans would kill them all if they didn't do what the Germans asked them to do.
"That's right, our warships are transporting gold, a full hundred tons of gold. The gold is shipped to Canada. If we can't hold the mainland, we will go to Canada to continue fighting the Germans. Therefore, we need to send the gold to Canada in advance. The wealth of the country must be removed from the hands of the Germans!" Captain John told the whole story.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
