"Look at this record"

Shi Quan's eyes stopped at a certain page in the voyage log, "At 16:42 on July 16, Berlin time, Equator Station 4 received a clear radio distress signal from an American arms merchant ship near Salim Island. In order to ensure that Station 4

It was safe and decided to annihilate it.

Berlin time, at 22:19 on July 16, an American merchant ship was found stranded on the ice in the bay on the west side of Coldwe Island. At 22:32, two torpedoes were launched, hitting the opponent's propeller."

"Where is the bay on the west side of Coldway Island?" Big Ivan and everyone looked at Nasha.

"It's the chicken-leg-shaped island to the north of Salem Island," Nasha replied without thinking, "We haven't explored there yet."

"Continue" Big Iwan urged Shi Quan.

“The interesting things have begun”

Shi Quan cleared his throat, "At 23:17, the American arms ship capsized completely, but there were no people who fell into the water or on the ice. In order to ensure that no surviving sailors affected the safety of Station 4, Captain Luca decided to surface and land.

Confirm the victory on the ice.”

"They are going to be in trouble," Big Ivan, who knows everything about things, said with certainty.

“Really unlucky”

Shi Quan nodded, "The records behind are quite confusing. To put it simply, the submarine soldiers who landed to check the situation were ambushed by Sherman tanks driven by American sailors. Not only did they fail to return, even the submarine control tower was ambushed by several vehicles.

The rising tanks were sieved."

"So the submarine didn't sink in the end?" Nasha asked.

“I can only say that there is none for the time being.”

Shi Quan continued to flip through the logbook in his hand, "After being ambushed, the German submarine immediately distanced itself and fired back with its deck gun. Although it eventually destroyed several American tanks, it itself was also seriously damaged.

There is no way to complete the dive.

Since that firefight, the surviving American sailors have been insisting on using radio to try to contact the outside world. In order to prevent the secret base codenamed Equator Station 4 from being exposed, the submarine had to use the deck gun on the submarine again.

Continued firefight with Sherman tanks manned by American sailors on land."

"This firefight sounds interesting, even enough to go down in history." Big Ivan grinned, "Use submarines to hit land targets, use tanks to hit water targets... No, I should say underwater targets. I'm afraid both sides were at that time

They are all very helpless.”

"But the helplessness of both sides did not last long."

Shi Quan flipped through the logbook in his hand, "In the subsequent firefights, the submarine was hit by two Shermans hidden in the ice and snow on the waterline at the bow and stern, which almost caused a fire in the torpedo room, and those

After a stalemate for several days, the Americans finally had to surrender due to lack of supplies."

"So did the submarine sink?" Elena urged.

"It was sunk, but not by American tanks, but by the Germans themselves."

Shi Quan pointed to the record on the last page of the voyage log and said, "At nine o'clock in the morning on July 19, 1942, Berlin time, the submarine, which was judged to be irreparable, was scuttled by the Germans themselves near the headland on the south side of Hall Island.

, and then these submarine soldiers arrived at our current location with the surrendered Americans. And at the end of this log, it was mentioned that the Luca captain finally chose to sink into the sea with the submarine."

"Regardless of his position and his wrong choice of combat methods, this captain is worth learning from the Royal Navy of the Yin Kingdom." Big Ivan said truthfully.

“There is no comparison at all”

Shi Quan folded the voyage log in his hand and handed it to Elena next to him, "When you get back to the ship, scan this voyage log and all the information you just dug out. Maybe you can use it in the future."

"Why keep these outdated information?" Xianyu asked puzzledly.

"Equator Station 4"

Big Iwan was keenly aware of Shi Quan's intention, "Although this secret base located in the Arctic Circle has been given the confusing code name of the equator, the focus is on Station 4. Since there is Station 4, at least it means there is Station 1.

No. 2 and No. 3."

“You’re right”

Shi Quan said as he walked out, "Maybe there are clues to three other possible secret bases in these materials."

"Or how about we take everything here with us?"

Big Ivan is far more greedy than Shi Quan, "Anyway, as long as we can find the exact location of the submarine and the American merchant ship, it will be enough even without these things."

"Let Nasha decide"

Shi Quan said noncommittally, "After all, this is Mr. Andre's commission. Anyway, the old antiques I found in the air defense position and the Panther tank that Mr. Andre is going to return to me are enough to satisfy my appetite."

"My father is planning to use those two ships to build a museum in Arkhangelsk." Nasha looked at the big Ivan with his elbows turned outwards, and said in a male-domestic tone, "So the things here are

Just leave it to my dad."

"Listen to your employer. After everything here is emptied, we will go find the ship and submarine."

While walking back the same way, Shi Quan picked up an FG42 paratrooper rifle. Although he already had this thing, it was brought home from someone else's collection. How could it be as interesting as digging it out by himself?

Leaving the moving work to the hard-working Nenets sailors, Shi Quan and others returned to the ship, first covered the bodies of the American sailors they brought back and those cleared from the tanks with the American flags prepared in advance, and then put them in coffins and buried them.

, all sent into a refrigerated container.

These sailors were much luckier than the Soviet or German soldiers of the same era. Although it was a group of Chinese or Soviet people who covered them with the national flag, at least their country is still there, unlike the Soviet Union, which has long been a thing of the past.

Clouds and smoke.

As for whether they will be buried on Russian soil by Mr. Andrei or sent back to the United States, that is beyond their consideration.

In the warm icebreaker, Shi Quan carried the newly cleaned FG42 rifle and an M1 Garand and walked around in various cabins, checking the progress of the brothers Musa and Samu in learning Chinese.

Only then were they satisfied and allowed the two Tuareg twins to help carry the tables and chairs to the deck of the helicopter hangar.

At Shiquan's signal, the taciturn brothers ran to the stern deck carrying a basket of cabbage, rounded their arms and threw it into the channel that the icebreaker had recently sailed.

Before the two of them could return to Shi Quan, the latter had already aimed at the cabbage in the water and pulled the trigger.

The crisp sound of gunfire and the dazzling muzzle flash were particularly noticeable in this polar night shrouded in darkness. Before finishing a magazine, Shi Quan emptied the magazine with a grin on his face. This broken gun really didn't work.

It's worth looking forward to. The astonishing recoil and harsh gunfire caused by the overpowered ammunition are okay, but the exaggerated muzzle flash that seems to only appear in the game is unbearable, especially in this dim environment.

A bunch of flash bombs were thrown in front of my eyes.

Putting this old antique aside, Shi Quan picked up the m1 Garand he brought with him. The shooting experience of this rifle, which the Americans had been holding back for several years like constipation, is much better.

Until all the bullets in the magazine were fired, with a pleasant "ding" sound, the ejected magazine struck a parabola and hit the thick table.

Satisfied, he left the two guns to the twin brothers who had been standing upright behind him to enjoy themselves, and Shi Quan walked off the deck on his own.

Just like the Nenets men who came from the Arctic Circle were fascinated by the tropics, the two Tuareg twins who came from the desert were equally curious about the ice and snow polar regions.

It's just that Shi Quan was still wary of the two brothers, so they didn't get too involved in this commission. They basically spent the whole process on the ship learning Chinese with Captain Miao and others, and didn't even enter the closed cabin.

. Now that I have found everything I am looking for, I can naturally give them a break.

Ignoring the two brothers, Shi Quan got into the cabin and found the big Ivan couple and Elena in the conference room who were playing Landlord.

After he sat down, Nasha dropped a pair of bombs and took away the bullets that were used as chips from the middle of the table while saying, "I have already had a phone call with my dad, and the salvage ship he arranged is currently still in Schmidt's

It will take a month at the earliest to salvage the merchant ship Morgan from the island."

"So long? Are we waiting here all the time?" Shi Quan asked as he sat down next to Elena.

"Need not"

Nasha said while shuffling the cards, "As long as the specific locations of the ship and submarine are determined, the other Leopard will be delivered to your radar station in two days."

"That's good." Shi Quan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. He didn't want to wait for a month in a place like this.

"Yuri, our next stop is Myanmar again?" Big Ivan asked while touching the cards.

"Yes, it's Myanmar again. Try to arrive before April." Shi Quan said while observing the card game, "It's just that this time in Myanmar, there will be no extra gains."

"That's not necessarily true." Big Ivan smiled proudly, and then changed the topic to other aspects before Shi Quan and others asked questions, never mentioning what new clues he had found.

While Shi Quan and others waited leisurely, all the materials that could be moved from the station codenamed Equator 4 were returned to the icebreaker by bulldozers. In the end, six containers were filled to the brim. In order to move these

After transporting the things back, the hard-working Nenets sailors were even more busy for four days.

However, the wait these days has not been fruitless. At least Ivan the Great has found nearly a thousand weather balloons that he has been thinking about. What is commendable is that most of these oversized balloons protected by talcum powder are in pretty good condition.

.

Even Big Ivan, the drama queen, before leaving, used the gas bottles he found at the beginning to inflate several large balloons, hung up the meteorological measurement equipment also found in the secret base, and released them directly into the dark night sky.

According to this guy's idea, these balloons might be blown by the wind to any country around the Arctic, and they will definitely make some big news. As for whether they will cause trouble, they have obviously been worried by Da Yi, who is worried about the world's chaos.
