Romanian Eagle

Chapter 649 Robbery (Part 1)

The latest website: The USS Upper Eugene in the Atlantic Ocean is slowly traveling in the Atlantic Ocean accompanied by the destroyer USS Wrath.

There isn't much risk along the way, but it's not a bad idea.

When crossing the Strait of Gibraltar, the inquiries from the British warship made the captain of the Wrath, who was directing the transport operation, almost jumped to the throat. But fortunately, in the face of Leksky's righteous words, the British warships that have not found anything can only be released.

Near the Spanish waters, these capitalist countries are extremely wary of Soviet ships. This made Captain Leksky feel a little angry, and he was convinced that one day the great Soviets would sweep all these imperialisms into the garbage heap.

But once it entered the Atlantic, it was much easier immediately. Without the entanglement of other countries' warships, the two ships of the heart and mind sailed to the destination Leningrad with all their strength.

Yes, the sea route this time is from Valencia through the Strait of Gibraltar into the Atlantic Ocean, then bypassing the UK into the Baltic Sea and arriving in Leningrad.

It was also a helpless move for the Soviet Union to finally choose such a long way. In fact, the route from Spain to the Black Sea from the Mediterranean Sea is the shortest (the route chosen in history), but this route is under threat from Romania. Had the most stubbornly anti-Soviet nation been told that the shipment was gold, it might have been intercepted. So this route can not be used as the first choice.

The only option is to take the Atlantic line, and in order to avoid the busiest English Channel, the Soviet Union deliberately chose to bypass the British Isles and not take the waterway.

Therefore, the destroyer Wrath and the freighter Eugene could only make a big circle and return to the Soviet Union.

There is nothing to see in the seascape of the same color. On the endless sea, the Soviet Navy officers and soldiers also talked and laughed and were busy with their own affairs.

Until suddenly I heard a creaking sound from the engine. As the most experienced wheeler with a bad sound, this is a situation where the engine is overloaded. The speed of the warship also slowed down.

At this time, the phone in the engine room rang, and the chief engineer picked up the phone, which was the voice of the chief officer on duty: "What's going on? Why is the power of the ship decreasing?"

"We are examining the cause," replied the chief engineer. At this time, the other marine soldiers also got up and gathered together.

"what's going on?"

As the captain, Leksky hurriedly asked,

The chief mate replied immediately. "I just called the chief engineer and they are checking."

After a while, the long wheel reported that the engine was fine, as if the propeller was entangled in something.

After sending soldiers down to check the results, Leksky felt a chill in his heart, and the propeller was entangled in a fishing net from somewhere.

"What should we do now?"

The chief mate, who heard the bad news, asked Captain Leksky how to solve it. In fact, he himself knows what to do in such a situation, and the best way is to send a professional boat to help. If there is no professional boat to help, you can only send someone to dive to cut off the fishing net. But the job takes days, and they just can't afford it.

Captain Leksky, who heard the question from the first mate, thought about it and said. "Send a telegram to the nearest cruiser, the Volga, and ask them to come over immediately. In addition, let the Eugene continue to sail, and the Volga that came to meet them is just ahead of their route."

After receiving the order of Captain Leksky, the first mate immediately went to give orders to the Eugene. In fact, Captain Leksky's order was right, because when he suffered an accident and could no longer sail, it was right to let the protection target leave immediately. Because the Eugene is useless to stay here, it will only delay the transportation time.

So after Leksky gave the order, the Eugene broke away from the Wrath and sailed along the established course.

Although the Eugene was temporarily out of protection, according to the speed of the ship, as long as it was tomorrow afternoon, it would be able to meet the Volga.

But this is when all goes well. What if it doesn't go well.

In the sea not far from the Wrath, a periscope was stretched out to clearly see every move of the Soviets. An officer is watching intently at the sea, judging by the uniform he is wearing. This is the uniform of the Romanian Navy.

Since there was a Romanian submarine here, the accident on the Wrath could not have been an accident, and it was.

I saw the officer put the periscope away and instructed the transmitter. "Send a report and tell them that the Eugene is currently sailing alone."

That's right, this time the destroyer Wrath was entangled in the propeller by the fishing net, which was done by the Romanian submarine force. For this operation, Romania sent more than 20 submarines alone, not counting other warships. In fact, this is also very simple, as long as the fishing nets are placed on the Soviet waterway in advance, satisfactory results can be achieved. Of course, this time the Wrath got tangled up in the propellers was not the first trap set by the Romanian submarine force. In fact, the Wrath and the Eugene have missed several traps, but they have not stepped on them.

And this time the Wrath was entangled in fishing nets, which is excellent news for the operation. Because of the lack of protection of the Eugene, the chances of this operation failing were greatly reduced.

Of course, several possibilities were prepared for this operation, some of which were entangled in the Eugene, those in which both were entangled, and those in which the traps failed. No matter which one it is, it is impossible for the Soviet Union to return Spanish gold this time.

It can be seen from this that as World War II approached, Romania became more and more reckless in its style of doing things.

…………

In the Atlantic, a fleet is sailing through the wind and waves.

He would be very surprised if someone who knew something about the Navy came to see it. Because this is the country that the fleet belongs to in the Black Sea, how come its warships have come to the Atlantic Ocean, and this is a very powerful battleship.

That's right, this fleet is the task force commanded by Major General Midraphael. This trip to the Atlantic is also to make it the last resort of this operation.

As the commander, Major General Midraphael looked at the telegram he had just brought from the staff and heaved a sigh of relief. This is good news for him because the last resort is likely not to be used.

"The submarine force has left its escort, and then we need to see if the operation team can control the ship."

Major General Midraphael looked at the seascape outside the window and fell into contemplation.
