At this time, the sailors on the "Brave" did not know that the danger was approaching. The "Brave" actually also had some patrol sailors, but they paid more attention to the situation on the water, and prepared from the warships from time to time, from the Chinese Empire
Imported searchlights scanned the water surface, and no one thought that the danger came from underwater.
"No. 1 and No. 2 torpedo tubes are ready." Hess whispered, and then he ordered: "No. 3 torpedo tubes are loaded." In order to ensure that he installed the torpedo tubes on the tail of the boat.
"Flaunch No. 1 and No. 2." With Hess' order, two torpedoes slid out of the launch tube.
In order to ensure the hit rate, the U21 submarine is only more than 100 meters away from the "Brave" and it is easier to hit the target if it is close. However, it is easy to be accidentally injured at such a close distance. Therefore, after the torpedo launch, Hess immediately ordered the submarine to turn around.
, retreat to the distance.
There were two loud bangs, and a distance of more than 100 meters passed in an instant. Two torpedoes accurately hit the side of the "Brave" and the huge water waves made Hess' submarine shake.
The fragile waterline armor of the Iron Armor could not withstand the attack of the high-explosive torpedo. Two large holes suddenly appeared at the waterline of the "Brave". Then the influx of sea water submerged the boiler compartment. Fortunately, it was docked, and the boiler was
There was no fire, but the unreasonable watertight compartment of the 'Brave' was simply unable to withstand such a fierce attack, and it immediately began to tilt and quickly sank on the berth.
The huge explosion alarmed the fleet, and the alarm sounded loudly in the port. The fleet commander thought that the Yaman fleet had arrived, and all warships were ordered to make fire to prepare for going to sea to fight. Hess used three torpedoes to control the war in the chaos.
Three cruisers were sent to the seabed.
Due to the close distance, the torpedo hit rate is very high, and the continuous explosions have caused chaos in the entire military port. Even the artillery began to launch firecrackers in a random manner towards the vast night outside the sea.
"Captain, we still have a torpedo. Let's go back when we are sinking his cruiser." The first mate is now impressed by Hess, and he has the courage to run to the other person's military port to make a big fuss, and has achieved success.
Hess smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, let's leave the port slowly and wait for the opportunity to fight. I'll use the last torpedo."
The panicked warships in the port began to leave the port one after another, and the leader was naturally the faster cruiser, a "Kokang" class cruiser, slowly entering the narrow departure waterway and sailing out of the port. He had been observing with a periscope
Hess immediately discovered it: "It's now, the No. 3 torpedo tube was launched."
With Hess' order, the last torpedo in the torpedo tube at the tail of the U21 submarine was also launched. The huge torpedo, with surging waves, crashed straight into the bow of the cruiser. "There are torpedoes." The navy on the cruiser
Finally, the torpedo was discovered, but unfortunately the cruiser had no room for maneuver in the narrow waterway.
The torpedo hit the cruiser's bow straight and tore a big hole in its waterline. The cruiser sank on the waterway at a speed visible to the naked eye. Hess smiled and said, "What do you think? This cruiser
It can be blocked for at least half a month when it sinks on the departure channel."
The first mate said in surprise: "Captain, you are so amazing. You can think of such a sinister trick."
Hess knocked his head and scolded, "Are you praising me or hurting me?"
Marshal Jericho, the commander of the Navy of the Sar Empire, was called by the adjutant before he got up. When he heard that the Liverpool military port was attacked, he immediately rushed to the Navy Staff. "What's the situation?" Marshal Jericho entered the door.
Just asked loudly.
"Marson, it's a bad situation," said Lieutenant General Spee, Chief of Staff. "We have a sank of ironclad ship and four cruisers, one of which was sunk on the port, and it was sunk on the waterway, which was estimated to be
It will take at least ten days to clear the channel.”
After listening to Spe's report, Jericho gasped: "How is this possible? The Yamans' fleet is still in the military port, what are they attacking us?"
Lieutenant General Spe said: "There have been news that merchant ships were sunk by invisible enemies some time ago. I think they should use the same weapon, and this mysterious weapon should be sailing underwater, so we
Not visible.”
"Underwater? Impossible." Jericho said angrily: "The intelligence confidentiality work in the Yaman Empire could not be so strict. If they were studying such weapons, we should have already received the news."
Lieutenant General Spe touched the golden edge and said, "But if this magical weapon was not made by the Yaman Empire..."
"You mean the Chinese Empire?" Jericho guessed.
In the past decade, the Chinese Empire and its predecessor, the Chinese corpse, have almost become a nightmare for the Saar Navy. His endless new weapons not only fascinated people's eyes, but also made the huge fleet built by the Saar Empire quickly lag behind.
Eight years ago, just when the Sar Empire was building a large ironclad ship, the Chinese-led "Lanting"-class battleship emerged, making all the ironclad ships in the Sar Empire obsolete.
When the Saar Empire was catching up and built a battleship again, the appearance of the "Chinese" class battleship once again made all the warships of the Saar Empire face the fate of being eliminated. In the end, the imperial emperor George V gritted his teeth and bought it with huge money.
Their steam turbine technology prevented the Imperial Navy from falling behind again.
With the chariots, trucks, airships and planes built by the Chinese Army, Jericho couldn't think of what the brains of the Chinese Empire were made of, and he had such a wild idea that he could create such a
Many novel and practical weapons.
As long as new weapons appear in the whole world, all countries will naturally think of the Chinese Empire. Therefore, after Lieutenant General Spee asked questions, Jericho first thought that this weapon was very likely a new weapon made by the Chinese Empire.
"Order all military ports to start laying mines on the sea, and let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs protest with the Chinese Empire to see if they can buy this new weapon." Before figuring out the specific situation, Jericho had to use mines to defend.
Mines can be semi-sinked into the water, and defense against underwater weapons has certain effects. However, Jericho did not remember that mines were also invented by the Chinese Empire.
After the transmission of wired telegrams, the Embassy of the Sar Empire in the Chinese Empire received an order a few days later. Ambassador to China Zhu Erdian immediately made an appointment with Chen Guilin, deputy minister of the Chinese Empire and deputy of Wu Qiong.
