Xu Jun got up from his small but absolutely soft and comfortable bed. He groped for a while in the dark and finally found the small ceiling light switch mounted on the wall beside him. The fluorescent lamp flickered a few times, and then the bright and soft light filled the little captain's room.

Xu Jun leaned on the head of the bed and stared at the simple oak paneling on the wall of the bed. A few months ago, Xu Jun was still considering whether to go to Norway to visit the U-boat museum, but now he has been lying alive on the bed of the captain's room of an U-boat, and this is not the kind of renovated Antique is a real murderous machine full of power. Thinking of these, Xu Jun deeply felt the wonder and fate of fate.

U37 is a 9a ocean-going submarine that has just been in service for less than two years. She is almost brand-new. The dirty and run-down feeling on those old submarines is simply not found in her. After three ocean cruises, she Still keeping that neat and clean, all the equipment still shimmered like she had when she first launched into the water. It can also be seen from this point that Giselle is indeed a very capable captain. At least he is a captain who cherishes his equipment. Xu Jun has a very good feeling for the young captain from the maintenance of this battleship.

Although she can be said to be very primitive in Xu Jun's eyes, in this era she was the crystallization of the highest technology in Germany at that time. She represented the most advanced submarine technology and design level of this era. She is the pride of Germany and all the seas. The nightmare of the enemy.

The crew of u37 are full of vitality and self-confidence. They believe that this submarine can be taught to any enemy who offends her at any time and any place. They all believe that the submarine in their hands will be able to create the huge achievements dreamed of by their predecessors, and they will also be praised and envied by their friends and family for these achievements.

These young sailors did not think of the danger they might face on the road to honor. In fact, only three of the 9a ocean-going submarines have survived, and the remaining five have been in the battle for two years. They were buried under the turbulent waves one after another, and two of the five submarines were still killed.

Those comrades who were once as full of dreams as they are now sleeping in the deep seabed, but this does not change their love for their cause. They believe that it is worthwhile to bear any risks and pains for their motherland. They are fighting for their motherland. Although they did not fully understand Hitler’s strange reasons for the war, since the war had already occurred, every German soldier should fight hard for the victory of the motherland. This is the responsibility of the soldier. This is also the meaning of the existence of the soldier.

Since you have been a sailor, you should be prepared to bury yourself in the sea. As the saying goes, the sea is the best destination for a brave sailor. A sailor should die in the sea instead of the bed at home. It is a sailor's dream to be able to sleep in the arms of the sea he loves. These are the answers given to Xu Jun by the sailors. It may be because Xu Jun is not a sailor, so he is a little difficult to understand the romantic ideas in these answers, but Xu Jun feels that this should be the way of thinking for men fighting the sea, which is in line with these brave sailors Their character makes people feel **** when they think of it.

Xu Jun glanced at the small indicators on the wall of the captain's room. Now the submarine is moving at a speed of four knots under 30 meters of water. It seems that he is now passing the patrol area of ​​the aircraft or patrol boat. The clock on the wall shows that it is three o'clock in the morning. Although it is still night, the moonlight on the sea is much brighter than you think. Submarines will easily be caught by those who travel on the silvery sea shining by the moonlight. Patrol planes or ships are found, especially in the narrow seas of Denmark and Norway. The submarine must act so carefully before entering the North Sea. This was the conclusion unanimously reached after careful discussion with Gisele during the day.

The captain's room is the best room on the boat. Of course, it is extremely shabby compared to the luxurious captain's rooms of those huge surface ships, but under the hard and cold hull of this 1,000-ton ocean-going submarine The narrow living space of the crew is unimaginable to ordinary people. Being able to have this private space here is a manifestation of the captain's supreme authority on this submarine.

The captain's room was very clean and tidy, and Giselle was a neat and disciplined person. On the surrounding hard steel walls, a layer of oak guards was inlaid, and a layer of light brown varnish was painted. The bed occupies almost half of the space in the room. Next to the boat shell is a simple metal desk with a wooden table top covered with a velvet tablecloth. Above the table is a row of wooden filing cabinets, which are embedded in wooden panels and painted with varnish of the same color as the walls. On the other side of the table is a chair fixed on the floor. A tall locker occupies half of the wall, and on the side is a small wall-mounted bookshelf. Then there is a chart frame, but now there are no charts placed on it but full of Giselle's private photos. Below the chart frame is a small strip sofa. There is even a small wash area in the corner of the room, with a beautiful and delicate porcelain water bucket and a faucet. There is also a small shelf for washing utensils on the side. An oval mirror is embedded in the wall above the water bucket. In order to prevent the mirror from being shattered during the battle, a layer of cork shield is sandwiched behind the mirror. The whole room gives people a warm and safe feeling. Xu Jun sincerely admires the meticulous attention to detail of the German designer.

Xu Jun got up from the bed, and he tried to put on his shiny leather boots with one hand. This pair of leather boots was made by him when he was in Poland. The best lambskin leather is full of elasticity, so even with one hand, you can easily put your feet into these tightly wrapped leather boots. Because it is in a special living environment such as a submarine, he did not change any pajamas when he was sleeping. It was too troublesome to take off his military uniform, so he only took off the shiny marshal uniform, even the military pants Take it off and go to bed, which is not only convenient after getting up, but even if there is an accidental escape, you will not be disheveled. To be honest, Xu Jun cares a lot about his military style, and he pays great attention to his appearance.

Xu Jun unfastened the sling that fixed his arm, put on the marshal uniform with pain, and then fixed the injured hand on his chest again. After doing this, Xu Jun checked it up and down carefully, then put on a military cap and walked towards the narrow wooden door. He stood the military cap and the knight iron cross in the small mirror beside the door. Then he opened the door and went out.

"Ah! Marshal. Salute."

Two of the commandos standing guard at the door were startled by the suddenly opened door, waiting for them to stand upright and salute when they saw Xu Jun.

"Oh? Why are you here, I don't mean you don't need to be on guard on the submarine?" Xu Jun felt very strange, how could these two commandos defy their orders, and Xu Jun gave orders when he first got on the submarine. Don't add posts to the door of his room. The aisle in the submarine is already very narrow, and then the two commandos who are as big as a bull in this narrow aisle are simply creating confusion, not to mention the captain's room. In the position between the officer's office and the command module, a stop by the commandos will affect the normal operation of the submarine. These few people have caused a lot of trouble to this submarine, and they really can no longer cause any impact in their work.

"Report Marshal, this is Captain Gisell's order. He said that anyway, a Marshal should have guards on guard. The tradition of the German squad should be followed no matter where, especially on naval ships, The difference in levels must be kept in mind at all times. He cannot watch a marshal not getting the marshal's treatment on his ship. In life, he cannot do that. It has made him very sorry and guilty, if it is simplified in other aspects. To a marshal’s ceremonial words, it’s really too ridiculous, so he ordered us to stay here for you. He said that he is the highest commander on this ship, and you have to obey his command in name, so We can’t disobey his orders. And Captain Dougan also agrees with Captain Gisell, saying that if we disobey the captain’s order, the captain has the right to throw us from the boat. For this terrible thing, don’t What happened to us, we had to obey his orders. If this makes you angry, we are willing to bear any punishment you have given us. Your Excellency Marshal." A SS commando sergeant explained with a raised head.

"Haha, I can't see that the command of the captain is so simple. You actually think so." Xu Jun smiled and looked at the two tall commandos.

"Yes, Marshal. We believe that you should show your status and enjoy proper etiquette at all times. This is the tradition of the German team. This is an affirmation of the merits of heroes and warriors. There must be no slack. "The sergeant answered without hesitation.

"Really? But this may affect the work of other people on the submarine. I don't want this submarine to have any accidents because the officers are jammed in the aisle by my two guards. Hahaha. Well, since Now that I'm up, you don't have to watch the night, go to your place to rest. Don't refute me, this is not a suggestion, this is an order." Xu Jun said with a smile.

"Ah, this... obey, my marshal." After the two commandos glanced at each other, they had to salute Xu Jun again and then turned and walked toward the command warehouse.

They were placed in the officer's cabin, behind the command room. This has always made Xu Jun feel a bit overwhelmed. Those submarine officers let their beds out for their entourage to sleep. They ran to the soldier's cabin and squeezed together with the soldiers, or simply went to the torpedo cabin to hang out. But finally, this is an ocean-going submarine, and the living space has been greatly improved. There are still some vacant places. If it is a small attack submarine with only 500 tons, it can't really pack nine people at once.

Xu Jun turned around and found that the two commandos had drilled into the small round pressure-resistant door of the command module. In the German submarine at that time, only the doors on both sides of the command cabin were the round pressure-resistant doors. The other doors of the compartment partition wall were ordinary rectangular waterproof doors. It was convenient for the crew to move between these cabins. . Xu Jun decided not to drill the small round hole first. He put his hand in his trouser pocket and walked slowly towards the bow of the boat.

The main color inside the German submarine is a clean snow white like those inside the tank. The snow-white boat wall is covered with various pipes and circuits. Those pipes can be said to be the blood vessels of this submarine. Any problem may cause the submarine to die out.

Opposite the captain's room is a radio room, an underwater listening room and other combat units. It is a narrow space. In addition to the radio room and a wooden door, there is generally only a thick curtain. The listener obviously had heard the conversation between Xu Jun and the commando. He opened the curtain and saw Xu Jun coming over. He quickly stood up and nodded to Xu Junli. Xu Jun nodded at him with a smile, then waved his hand to signal him to continue his current work, the soldier nodded again respectfully, then sat back on his seat and turned his cāo longitudinal handle back to listen to the outside of the boat. Get up and running.

Now that the submarine is underwater, it uses an electric motor, so there is not much noise. Xu Jun felt headache when thinking of the roaring noise of the diesel engine when sailing on the water yesterday, but he had no way to deal with it. This is already the limit of the submarine technology of this era. Want to change this according to the current technology. It is very difficult, although there are several ways to reduce this noise a little, but the cost will increase a lot and the effect is not obvious, and the submarine surface noise at this time does not affect her combat, so Xu Jun It also gave up the idea of ​​reducing the surface noise of the submarine.

Since the submarine has been submerged for quite some time, the air inside the submarine is really uncomfortable. The pungent smell of diesel oil mixed with various body odors made Xu Jun feel unbearable, and the increasing carbon dioxide and other harmful gases made the air in the boat turbid. The air pressure inside the submarine also increased with the depth and the discharge of those gases, which made the eardrums feel uncomfortable.

As Xu Jun passed the door of the radio room, he glanced inside through the transparent round window on the door. It seems that the messenger is the most comfortable when sneaking. Now he is curling up on the bed with a military blanket and sleeping soundly. It seems that this guy is really tired, think about the pile of telegrams received every day, Xu Jun knew that the young man was absolutely busy in the past two days. Xu Jun gently left the window, afraid of disturbing the reporter inside, and then walked down the aisle toward the officer's rest area.

The officer rest area is only set up on this ocean-going submarine. Other submarines have only a small officer room. In fact, this is a space divided for officers. There is a beautiful corner sofa and an ordinary round table. Officers can rest, chat, play cards and smoke when they are not on duty. This is also a restaurant for some low-level officers. They Just dine at that round table, and those senior officers dine in the officer's room. The ranks of the German ** team are strict, and there is no particular reason that senior officers will not eat these junior officers at a table.

Several officers are sitting on the sofa in the officer's rest area. They may be waiting to hand over. A warrant officer is holding a book with great interest, while two second lieutenants are playing cards with boredom, and a lieutenant is holding a cigarette holding a cigarette and writing something on a letter paper, seeing how excited his face might be Which beautiful girl is writing a love letter to.

Xu Jun walked past gently, but his leather boots still made a lot of noise when he stepped on the metal floor. The lieutenant was alarmed, and he looked up in the direction of Xu Jun, and he was shocked. The lieutenant jumped from the sofa like a spring. Because his actions were too sudden, he couldn't help but surprised the other three. They didn't understand what was going on. They put down the things in their respective hands, turned their heads in doubt, and looked in the direction of the lieutenant looking excitedly. Then they also stood up as fiercely as the lieutenant, staring at Xu Jun with a mouth open in surprise and coming over with a smile, speechless.
