Thank you to the fourth youngest member of the Feng family for your monthly vote encouragement. I actually got two monthly votes thanks to sleepgun. Your approach of voting as soon as you have it is worth learning from Yutou. Yutou decided to post it after coding the words from next month. Thank you to the little pig.
There is a Sword in the Yang Chest, a reward from two friends.
This cruise ship off the coast of Corsica was a victim of unrestricted submarine warfare carried out by the Germans.
The so-called unrestricted submarine warfare means that German submarines can arbitrarily sink any ship bound for British and French waters without warning in advance. The purpose is to blockade Britain and France.
Of course, ships transporting manpower to France were also hit, so this cruise ship transporting Chinese became a victim of unrestricted submarine warfare.
The German submarine was only performing its mission, but for the Chinese workers on board, it was a disaster.
Go quickly to organize rescue, Qin Zhiyuan is very anxious.
It's winter now, the sea water is close to zero, and staying in the sea in this weather is not a pleasant experience.
On the pier, there was a boat on the pier. Ge Lifu and Xu Sheng were also anxious, and a group of people followed Qin Zhiyuan and ran towards the pier.
Lao Ge sent someone to make ginger soup and prepare warm clothes. Qin Zhiyuan did not forget to make arrangements while he was running.
Okay, Master Qin, just stay on the dock while I go. Greif is worried about Qin Zhiyuan's safety.
The Germans may not have seen Han Feizi, but no one can guarantee that the Germans will not wait and see. Since the cruise ship has been torpedoed, the German submarines must be nearby. Maybe they have not escaped yet and are ready to sink and come to the rescue.
ship.
Qin Zhiyuan ignored this and quickly ran to the dock and jumped on a British merchant ship that had just entered the port.
Did you see that ship? He drove over immediately and rescued the people who fell into the water. Qin Zhiyuan rushed directly to the bridge and gave orders to the captain.
No, no, no, we can't go. Maybe the Germans are still there. It's very dangerous to go there now, so I can't go. Now we should wait for the Navy destroyers or submarine hunters to come over. If we just go over, it may not have any effect.
You know, when faced with a submarine, this merchant ship had no defense. The captain, who was watching the excitement with a telescope, refused Qin Zhiyuan's order.
The captain's reason seemed legitimate, but there were several ships on the dock at this time, and only this one had just entered the port. The other ships were all stalled, and it would take at least half an hour to restart.
I order you to go immediately, otherwise, you will face more than just danger. Qin Zhiyuan drew his gun directly.
Standing at Qin Zhiyuan's position, he could see that the ship was slowly sinking. The passengers on the ship were swimming desperately to prevent the whirlpool formed by the sinking ship from being carried to the bottom of the sea. Seeing that his compatriots were struggling in the near-zero water. Qin Zhiyuan
Can't calm down.
What are you going to do? The captain's face changed drastically. Before he could speak, the young first mate couldn't hold it in any longer.
Be honest as fuck and set sail immediately. Otherwise you will regret it. Xu Sheng also rushed to the boat, also with a gun in his hand.
Calm down, gentlemen, violence will not solve the problem. The captain tried to persuade.
Don't tell me it's useless. Set sail now, otherwise I will kill you all and let me drive it. You can accuse me of abusing my power later, but now, you must obey my orders. Qin Zhiyuan opened
Hitting the hammer, murderous intent suddenly arises.
Since the dock incident, Qin Zhiyuan feels that he is increasingly inclined to use violent means to solve problems, which is not commendable, but in the current environment, Qin Zhiyuan has no choice.
Damn it, hurry up. Xu Sheng didn't talk nonsense. He went up and kicked the first mate who was blocking the captain to the ground.
Your captain is angry.
People who often travel at sea tend to have a more violent personality, especially the British, who even have pirate genes in their bones.
If you don't sail the boat, I will use the gun next. Xu Sheng is full of murderous intent.
Set sail. If your ship is sunk, I will buy you a new one and compensate you. Qin Zhiyuan proposed a plan acceptable to the captain.
Well, I can go, but first, your men want to apologize to my first mate, General. The captain used honorifics, but not much.
It's okay for me to personally apologize when the task is completed, but if you delay any longer, I guarantee that your ship will also be sunk, and you will not get any compensation. Qin Zhiyuan is gloomy.
Okay. Faced with the dark muzzle, the captain chose to obey.
The place where the ship sank was not far from the port, only about one or two nautical miles. The Germans dared to launch an attack so close to the port because they saw that there were no British and French warships near Corsica, so they dared to take the risk.
Otherwise, even if the German submarine sank the merchant ship, they would not be able to escape. The speed of the submarine underwater is much smaller than the speed of the warship on the water. As long as it is discovered by the warship, the submarine will only die.
Before this merchant ship left port, there were already a dozen fishing boats heading towards the sinking cruise ship. These fishing boats were more flexible and smaller. The Germans would not attack such small targets, so the captains of the fishing boats had nothing to hesitate about.
He even took the initiative to go to sea to provide rescue without waiting for the soldiers from the first brigade to come over and give orders.
At this time, the cruise ship had a large amount of water entering its stern. The stern was submerged in the water, and the bow of the cruise ship was raised high, as if it was stuck upside down in the water. It was a rare sight.
Qin Zhiyuan had no intention of looking at the zoetrope and repeatedly urged the captain to speed up. At the same time, he ordered the lifeboats on the ship to be ready and start rescuing people immediately after reaching the distress waters.
Just before the merchant ship reached the distressed waters, there was a sound of metal breaking in the air. With a huge sound, the cruise ship that was inserted upside down in the water was severed from the middle, and the bow of the ship hit the sea hard, causing a stir.
A shocking splash of water, and then it quickly sank to the bottom of the water at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Hurry up and swim faster. Qin Zhiyuan's eyes were splitting, and he didn't care whether the Chinese workers in the water could hear him. He rushed to the side of the boat and shouted.
When a cruise ship sinks, a huge whirlpool will appear on the water. If you are too close, you will be brought into the water by this whirlpool. As early as when the cruise ship was first hit, some Chinese workers jumped into the water to seek self-rescue, but more
The Chinese workers were still on the boat. They did not jump into the sea in time and were still hoping that someone would come to rescue them.
The biggest bad habit of the Chinese is to wait. Unless a knife is held to their necks, they rarely take the initiative to do something to change their situation. But often when the knife is held to their necks, it is too late to try hard.
The current situation is like this. As long as the ship has not sunk into the water, many Chinese workers will not choose to jump into the sea. They will not choose to leave the ship until it is sure that it has sunk, but by then it is already too late.
They tried their best but could not swim out of the whirlpool.
Soon, the first person was rescued on the boat. Qin Zhiyuan immediately took off his coat and surrounded the half-naked Chinese worker who had already taken off his clothes that were soaked by the ice water.
How many people are there on the ship? How many of our people are there? Qin Zhiyuan is anxious.
More than 6,600 Chinese workers who were rescued had purple lips, trembling words and stammering answers to Qin Zhiyuan's questions.
More than 600 people. Qin Zhiyuan looked at the water around him. As far as he could see, there were at most 100 people.
