"Okay, okay, this boat is all crazy except me! And I also got on the pirate ship, tie my head to my belt!" The navigator seemed to vent. The fastest update

"Start the action, our actions are destined to be recorded in history!" Captain Leirsch encouraged, but unexpectedly, he was right! I thought this bold and visionary action (Leirsch: Is visionary? I just think it's exciting enough.) The entire Mediterranean battle situation was stolen because of this!

When night fell, the submarine ub-12 floated in the dark. The Austrians chose a very good location. They floated near an unmanned beach, with reefs and shallows everywhere. Generally, ships will not approach at night. Because the submarines have shallow drafts and have nearby hydrological data, Captain Leirch dared to recharge here.

The ventilation port of the diesel engine was opened. With the influx of a large amount of air, the diesel generator also began to roar to charge the submarine's battery. The submarine was not large, with a full load displacement of only 800 tons, a length of only 78 meters and a width of 7.5 meters. It was not big or small, and it was just suitable for this kind of task. It was too big, difficult to get in, too small, and insufficient firepower.

Everyone on the submarine was in the cabin, and they would dive when there was a storm. The long wait was always very uncomfortable, especially under the eyes of the French, which made people feel even more uneasy. Through the periscope, Captain Leirch could even see the lights of the Port of Castelli. At this moment, they were about 6 nautical miles away from the target. When the battery was charged, the submarine would sail on the water for half an hour, then dive and enter the port!

"Check the warship. If there is no problem, let's go!" Captain Lairch took a deep breath and said after the captain reported that the battery was fully charged.

The Austrians checked everything they could check, including the submarine's batteries, electric motors, compressed air bottles that fired torpedoes, the amount of oxygen inside the submarine, and other mechanical equipment, etc. When the hatch finally closed, the submarine's ub-12 began to dive slowly, and at the beginning, the submarine's command tower was exposed. When they left the beach, only a periscope was left to observe the water surface.

The Rhine transport ship was heading towards the port under the guidance of the pilot ship. Since the French chose this place as an anchorage, there were naturally some arrangements, including mines, anti-submarine nets and shipwrecks, which formed a line of defense under the sea that they seemed insurmountable. Even if the French had a complete set of line drawings, they were still walking on thin ice, and the speed of the ship was limited to about 5 knots. There were destroyers responsible for piloting. When a ship that had completed supply left the passage, the Rhine followed the instructions of the beacon to enter the port. What the French did not expect was that a demon hidden in the darkness also mixed in with the shadow of the Rhine.

All the Austrians sat quietly in their battle positions, and the ocean currents kept knocking on the shell of the hull, making waves of sounds. Captain Leirch carefully observed the tracks of the Rhine transport ship through the periscope, and then his other hand kept making gestures to his teammates.

As the destroyer's searchlights continued to sweep across the sea, the ub-12 submarine did not dare to extend the periscope out of the water. The so-called observation was actually to track the sailing trails of the ship underwater to determine the direction of navigation. The two propellers of the Rhine transport ship made long bubbles under the water. As the bubble burst and the stirring of the sea water, a track that seemed unclear under the water continued to extend. The ub-12 quietly advanced along the track.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the deadly tranquility tested all the people present. "Well, what's the situation?" The navigator felt that the sound of the water hitting the submarine's hull suddenly became smaller. It was like a huge faucet flushing against the submarine just now, but now, it seems that the submarine has sailed into a piece of still water?!

"We're in!" After a while, Captain Leirsch made a thumb-up gesture to his subordinates!

The colleagues around immediately became excited, their faces were maneuvering and a hint of joy! This was the first time that the submarine successfully sailed into a heavily defended port. They were creating history, just now! They completed a task that seemed almost impossible to complete by outsiders!

The torpedo commander immediately began to prepare for the torpedo launch. The high-pressure compressed air bottle was connected to the torpedo tube, and the torpedo's fuse was also opened. Just pull the wrench down, and the high-pressure air can shoot out the G7 torpedo that is more than 7 meters long! 195kg of explosives is enough for any warship to lose its appetite!

At this time, Captain Leirsch adjusted the periscope slightly upwards, and the matte lens quickly scanned the surrounding circle. However, at the first moment, he did not find a suitable target. However, according to the brightness outside, Captain Leirsch was commanding the submarine to sail towards a darker place. Looking at the watch, it was only 3 a.m. They had enough time to choose prey and hunt!

At this moment, the four most elite battleships of the French Navy were anchored on the sea. The three best berths from east to west were the Brittany, Lorraine, Provence and Normandy. This class of battleships is similar to the ship of the same name in history. They are equipped with 10 340mm guns, which can fire 555kg shells at an initial speed of 800 meters. Thanks to the French's excellent mechanical servo, this battleship's fire rate reaches m per minute secondary guns. Although it is slightly insufficient to deal with light cruisers, the number is good enough.

The defense of the Brestane class battleship is also very distinctive. The vertical armor belt with the side string m is not actually thick, but in addition to the outer layer of armor, the French dome armor is relatively thick, with the thickness of the inclined part reaching 70mm, and has a certain defense. Overall, it is not worse than the British Duke of Tie, because the latter's dome armor is thinner. If the side string armor is broken, even if the shells are broken, the tilted dome armor less than 2 inches behind cannot even resist it. There is actually not much difference between having and not having it. (In history, the Iron Duke once thickened the defense of the dome armor and other places after the war, and the armor increased by as much as 820 tons!)

However, compared with the fairly appropriate armored belt defense, Bristani's underwater protection can be described as bad. The depth and width of the underwater defense are not enough, and even the armor next to it is very crisp. The torpedo defense coffee table, and the underwater bomb can be fatal.
