After restarting and chasing after throwing a series of deep-water bombs, the Japanese assumed that the same tactics were difficult to achieve results for the second time, so they swore after the main fleet, but they didn’t know that the crew of the submarine went all out to stop the leak and repair it. Lieutenant Colonel Viszler managed to make an emergency float, and then took the crew to the lifeboat with a heavy heart to watch their submarine sink into the water again-this time forever! (
Chapter 145 Italian breakfast
Chapter 145 Italian breakfast
Made up of jam, bread and foamed coffee, it seems a little simple, but it seems like a dream to the American sailors who have been drifting in the sea for a long time. Instead of being detained in the dark bottom cabin of yin, they lined up to eat in the sailors’ canteen ―― the captain and deputy captain and senior consultant officer De * * were also invited to sit at the same table with Italian commanders at the same level in the officers’ canteen!
"Your country’s involvement in the war is determined by those politicians, and our duty is from (-) I personally deeply regret that we are unfortunately on the opposite side of the war and pay high tribute to the American team!"
The captain of this corvette is an artist with the physique of an athlete. The Italian naval school raises the glass very politely ―― yes, breakfast, warships and war all prevent Italians from enjoying life. The red wine in the goblet is the best proof.
The same factor has lost its binding significance for German consultants of American officials who unfortunately lost their submarines and were rescued by Italians. They looked at each other with curiosity rather than worry. Italians would never put poisoned wine in front of their prisoners unless they were politicians who frightened the whole of Italy!
After the Italian translator conveyed the captain’s original words, Lieutenant Colonel Viszler took the lead in raising the glass and drinking it together with the ups and downs of the previous hours. The team captured by the enemy in the United States did not ruin its military career, but the opportunity to be the commander of the submarine detachment would not always be there. The eye Yamato, which was once on the edge of the torpedo range, disappeared.
Seeing that his boss has set an example, his arm is tied with a sling because of a fracture. Lieutenant White, the vice captain, raised his glass with his left hand and also gulped down the red wine in the glass.
At this time, ludendorff was still sitting there sullenly. According to the German-American military assistance agreement, German volunteers were not allowed to reveal their identities after being captured. Therefore, the United States also prepared their own identity documents, such as fake ones. ludendorff’s military officer’s card said "submarine chief of staff", and one of them was actually not in the US Navy.
The atmosphere was awkward for a long time before ludendorff said in English, "I’m sorry I didn’t drink early!"
When the translator translated this into Italian, the Italian officer who claimed to be Bruni School looked at ludendorff with strange eyes
"Ge doesn’t look like an American!"
"See?" Ludendorff coldly asked.
"I’ve seen Americans are passionate and unconstrained, and drinking in the morning is nothing?" The school said tepidly
Ludendorff did not refute drinking coffee alone.
The school consciously turned to Viszler. "It seems that your companion is difficult to communicate?"
Viszler’s face is reddish like a little drunk. "Hey, my temper is a little lonely, but my ability is useless!"
"Thank you for your compliment!" Ludendorff looked calm with his coffee cup gracefully.
Viszler smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth. He turned to the Italian and raised his glass. "Can I have another glass?"
"Of course, this is the American people!" The school smiled and motioned for Viszler to pour wine and glanced at ludendorff. "Where is Ge from?"
"American born in Europe!" Ludendorff blinked a few times unconsciously when he told a lie.
"Oh Europe beautiful Europe! Let me guess … was Ge born in Germany? " The school asked wryly
"See?" Words or this sentence ludendorff face expression is somewhat unnatural.
"You are elegant and stubborn with German temperament, and … your accent has some German flavor!" Bruni School took out a cigar from the exquisite wooden box in front of him and handed it to ludendorff.
This time, ludendorff didn’t refuse to tell the other party at the same time, "You can see that I was born in Hamburg and I am half German!"
"I can’t stop watching half of it!" Bruni smiled and handed the lighter to ludendorff. Every little move-including the way of making the lighter-was carefully seen by him.
Ludendorff naturally praised "Authentic South American goods are very good!"
The school raised its eyebrows with some pride and indignation. "That’s a whole 4oo imperial mark bought from a German businessman!"
"Oh, you need 4o dollars to buy it in America!" Ludendorff’s words are not nonsense. In a Boston brand store, 40 dollars can really buy a good box of South American cigars, which is equivalent to a full 100 German marks.
"Are you? It seems that German businessmen have earned three times the profit from it, which is really more cunning than Jews! " Every sentence of Bruni School is mocking the Germans, which is not only a deliberate test, but also a reflection of the mentality of many Italians. Although Italy has also gained a small share from the war of defeating the old European powers such as Britain, France and Russia, it is not worth taking over the overseas trade of the British Empire, monopolizing French heavy industry resources and obtaining a large number of labor from Eastern Europe. In 1942, many important economic indicators of the German government did not recover to the pre-war level. When the unemployment rate continued to rise, the shortage of materials, it was natural to feel envious and resentful of the country’s rich and strong neighbors!
Hearing this, ludendorff’s expression didn’t change, but he smoked and didn’t answer.
At this time, Viszler got up and raised his glass. "Mr. School, can I discuss world peace? We can go home as soon as possible and have a toast!"
"Of course, of course!" The Italian school picked up the glass with a cigar in one hand and squinted at ludendorff.
"Since it is world peace!" Ludendorff reluctantly reached out his hand to the glass in front of Bruni, but suddenly he said something in German.
"Forget it if you don’t want to drink it, officer!"
Ludendorff’s hand stopped!
Bruni smiled with malicious intent.
After breakfast, Bruni’s school asked the guards to send Viszler and White back to the living quarters, but ludendorff was left behind to screen out the left and right schools, German said
"I have long heard that the German government has sent a group of outstanding officers to the United States to come to the cabinet and one of them. Can you tell me your name?"
Ludendorff stared at him for several seconds and straightened his chest. "Ducal ludendorff was in the German navy and now he has retired!"
Bruni deliberately put on a look of awakening. "Oh … it turned out that Mr. ludendorff was really … surprised and honored to meet you here! When Italy and Germany were still at war with the British, I once worked with Mellink School sent by the German Admiralty for nearly half a year and formed a very deep friendship. What a pity! Fate is so changeable that we have to be on the opposite side of the battlefield in just two years! "
"Is it Mo lemerre Link School, the staff officer of the light cruiser team?"
After getting a positive reply from the other side, ludendorff sighed, "As you said, the country’s involvement in the war is decided by those politicians, and the soldiers are just obedient!"
"Anyway, I am puzzled by the changes in Germany and Italy. How did the steel alliance collapse so quickly and thoroughly?" Bruni then shook his cigar. "Forget it, don’t talk about politics! What’s Mr. ludendorff’s plan for coming? "
"What are the plans of the fallen prisoners?" Ludendorff held his head high and looked ahead. This light cruiser is not alone, but in an advance fleet composed of three cruisers and three destroyers. The commander’s flag of the fleet is hung high on the light patrol mast of another cruiser.
"Now that Ge has retired from the German team and accepted the employment of Americans, that is, a job, don’t care too much. Maybe … you don’t mind considering working with us!" When Bruni said this, he didn’t show that he couldn’t wait, and he didn’t seem to be ready to benefit. This kind of information was beneficial to him.
Ludendorff didn’t even think about answering, "I’m sorry, I owe a long-term contract with the US government, which is still valid even if I am captured. If I change my mind halfway, I will not only lose a considerable salary, but also bear the responsibility for breach of contract, which is more legal value for my reputation damage!"
I’m afraid I’ll get tired of hearing this reason if I capture more German volunteers who fought with the US military.
Bruni was very generous. "Well, I respect your wishes, but I need to wake up. It’s time for Japan to fight side by side with the Italian main fleet. It’s time for the Americans to fail. The question is whether the contract you signed will be fulfilled by the US if the Roosevelt administration collapses. I personally have reservations! In addition, in view of the deep relationship between the two of us, I will give you a comfortable single person. You can walk around the ship at will, but you’d better not have the idea of running away or sabotaging ―― I believe Germans cherish reputation more than life! "
"Thank you for your kindness!" Ludendorff replied coldly, "But I’d rather stay with my friends!"
"Partner?" Bruni said with some surprise, "It’s hard to imagine that the noble official is willing to be brothers with soldiers from a country that doesn’t even have a nation!" The emperor really loves to play tricks on people! "
"Don’t you also work closely with the Japanese?" Ludendorff retorted grumpily, "Don’t forget that they may not regard you as their own key. It’s better to be careful!"
"Do you think we will be stupid enough to use our capital ship as cannon fodder for the Japanese?" Bruni smiled contemptuously. "We’re just here to be strong!"

Chapter 146 Together ()
It finally dawned (-). Facing the rising direction of the morning sun, silver-white Hawk rose from the flight deck of their respective carriers and circled, knotted in the buzz and lined up like geese to fly into the distance …
When the first ray of sunshine shone on the earth, Barriga Airport, which is located in the north of the central part of the island, was silent. All night, American officers and men looked at the surrounding scene and felt that they were in hell. Hundreds of Japanese bodies littered the grass, roads, Shrubbery is a stream with dark blood eroding the land, and even the stream has become a terrible river of blood. A rough count shows that the US military has found more than 200 Japanese remains in Fiona Fang for several kilometers, and dozens of abandoned and seriously injured people ―― although they lost their combat effectiveness, these Japanese soldiers are still stubborn to a staggering extent. They have detonated grenades to rescue them, and American medics have ended their lives with bayonets or rifles. Even those who can’t move stubbornly resist the treatment of the US military!
The first batch of U.S. tanks landed on the periphery of the airport in the clanging friction of tracks. Although they missed the fierce night defense battle, they became suspicious. The Japanese hoped to recapture the airport, and the first batch of tracked forklifts and wheeled engineering vehicles arrived at the airport after tanks and armored vehicles. However, it was acceptable for the Japanese to make great efforts to build infrastructure here. However, before the U.S. military, it was already illegal to bomb potholes and runways, and the aircraft needed to take off and land, including the apron and other necessary facilities. Fortunately, the efficiency of professional construction mechanics was far higher than that of coolies. The advantages of the U.
