Battle of the Third Reich
v5 Chapter 21: Prince Eugen (middle)
"Christian, order fire! Let those low-powered Britons know that the world has changed, and the powerful German navy is the master of the world's oceans. Let the British cry with Nelson's tombstone!"
"Don’t worry, my dear Randolph. It’s not time yet, my trained sailors are looking for the most valuable targets to aim at. You can immediately see my lovely men show their pride You will be very satisfied by then, huh, huh. It's finally time to let those British guys pay off their debts, why do I suddenly feel that these British people seem to be pitiful, huh..."
"That's because we are glorious and noble knights, haha, it's normal to have some guilt in my heart. But after all, the war is cruel. Oh, to win, we sometimes have to force ourselves to do something against ourselves. Faithful things. But compared to the great mission we are carrying, what are these? It is the condemnation of our conscience as the price that must be paid to realize our great and sacred cause! Dear Captain Christian."
"Oh, that's what it is, you're right! My dear Randolph, now I'm relieved, ha ha ha ha..."
"Of course it is, my respected Mr. Captain, ha ha ha ha..."
"Benevolent God, I can't stand it anymore! Who can go up to stop them, Alfred." German Navy captain Karl. Hank desperately restrained his urge to flatten, and he said to his friend helplessly.
"Patience, Karl. Patience is the most valuable virtue of soldiers, but now I don't know how long I can endure, these two guys are too unmanned, too shameless, it is the shame of the German team." Alfred. Colonel Zaft comforted his friend with a wry smile.
The protagonists in their dialogue are not conscious now, nor do they think they have gotten this evaluation.
The two guys are now standing proudly and proudly standing in front of the windshield of the open bridge and continue to splatter and destroy the nerves of all officers and soldiers on the bridge, testing everyone's willpower.
If you look at appearances alone, Randolph's present dressing will definitely be able to charm a group of young girls who are young and ignorant.
The SS major is now wearing a sleek black SS uniform and wearing a full leather armband. All his medals and medals were hung on his chest, and a ceremonial dagger with a silver logo emblazoned with the headquarter base camp was hung on his waist.
He wore a black SS-coated SS coat over his shoulders, and the silver military rank mark that had been carefully wiped shone in the sun.
Randolph didn't wear a military cap on his head, and let the sea breeze blow his dazzling blond short hair, he seemed to enjoy the feeling.
Tall and strong body, handsome appearance, beautiful uniform, elegant manners, watching this young officer standing on the bridge with enthusiasm, the hem of the coat behind him fluttered with the sea breeze, this kind of grace exudes from the bones. I have to admit that Randolph does have the potential to become a hero, at least in terms of appearance.
"Christian, which ship are we going to fight? I think it's okay to simply attack their flagship."
Randolph stepped on a protruding exhaust pipe on the bridge with one foot, holding the chin with one hand and the other with his fork in front of his chest. Since he came to this bridge, he has maintained this Handsome pose.
"We can attack whatever we want. General Lütjens didn’t assign our target. But I think that since there are so many targets to choose from, why should we only focus on that flagship? She has Scharnhorst to deal with it. Alright." Christian, the captain of the heavy cruiser Prince Eugen. Feng. Captain Hertz answered with a grin.
Christian. Feng. Hertz was watching a group of fat sheep with an evil wolf staring at the British fleet in front of her.
The captain’s dress today was also obviously carefully prepared. The brand new navy blue German navy uniform was so hot that he wore all his medals on the chest like Randolph, and his navy sword was hung from the waist. .
He even wore a ribbon on his right chest, the golden cap rope decoration on the military cap and the shiny sparkle of the brim. His current dress made people feel as if the captain was about to go to a grand ball.
Feng. Before serving as the captain of the Prince Eugen, Hertz served on the destroyer. He participated in the famous Narvik naval battle. This can be seen in the shiny Narvik Battle Medal on his left arm.
In the naval battle that cost the German navy a heavy loss, although he commanded the battleship to fight bravely, and even wounded two British destroyers during the period, he eventually lost the ability to continue fighting because of the bombs.
At the time, he had no choice but to order all the crew to abandon the ship and scuttle his love ship, but the British navy still shattered the part of the z22 above the water to pieces. For a captain, this is a shame.
The hatred of destroying the ship plus the thirty-four blood debts that the British owed him in the previous battle, Christian. Feng. Hertz made up his mind that he must return all these profits from the British in this battle.
Suddenly, the Grensenno in front of Prince Eugen made a tremendous roar, and the battleship's nine main guns bombarded the British fleet in chaos.
Then the main gun of the Scharnhorst began to project fierce artillery fire on the British fleet.
"It started, it started! Why don't we fire!"
Randolph shouted excitedly, and now he could not care to maintain his "heroic attitude" any more, the Major SS screamed loudly against the bridge guardrail.
"We are aiming. Endure a little longer, Randolph." Christian put down the telescope in his hand and answered with a smile.
"Captain, I don't think it would be wise for us to enter the battle like this."
Colonel Karl finally couldn't help saying it loudly.
"Well, what advice do you have, Colonel, to know that we have entered the battlefield."
"I don't mean that. I mean, according to General Lütjens's order, Prince Eugen should follow the flagship side as a reserve team, but now you are..."
Colonel Carl frowned and turned to look at the signal flashing frantically on the rear Admiral Sher's mast.
"The flagship now strongly urges us to return to our original position."
"Please send a signal to General Lütjens. Prince Eugen cannot hide behind to receive the protection of his colleagues. This is related to the honor of the soldiers, so we request that Prince Eugen be allowed to enter the battle. This is the special envoy of the Head of State Major Randolph. Request."
Randolph said coldly.
"This... the Navy..."
Carl also wanted to say what turned out to be blocked by Colonel Alfred.
"Since it is the order of the head of state's plenipotentiary envoy, it is equivalent to the order of the head of state. If there are any problems, we will discuss it after the battle is over."
Alfred glared at his friend, reminding him not to provoke the envoy of the head of state who was in an abnormal state, otherwise the consequences might be serious.
"However, Captain, I think we should take advantage of the range of our main guns, and it is safer to attack from a distance. To know that there are more than 300 naval reserve officers and non-commissioned officers on the Prinz Eugen, these are all The precious wealth of the German Navy. As the leader of these children, Colonel Hank and I need to remind you of this."
Alfred. Colonel Zaft said seriously.
"Then we should do this more, Colonel Zaft. I have not tried this face-to-face battle, and have not experienced the baptism of artillery, these children will not really grow up. Although they may be exposed to some dangers, But if these children can feel the cruelty of war early and gain valuable experience from it, all this is worth it."
Christian replied firmly.
"It's nice to say, in fact, it's not a reason for you, a belligerent guy, to find yourself." Zaft cursed secretly.
"I think it seems that the two colonels are more concerned about their safety."
Randolph threw a word coldly on the side, and nearly blew the colonels of the two colonels.
"What, Major Randolph! You are insulting us."
Karl. Hank shouted angrily.
"Yes, you have damaged our reputation! Our courage is no less than half that of you, but we won the first-level Iron Cross hero in the battle of Poland!"
Zaft couldn't hold back anymore, he blushed and retorted loudly.
"If I offended two of them, I can apologize to you. But I still doubt whether you really have the bravery you claim to be. If you want to refute me, please show me the proof of action." Randolph is still cold Cold answer.
"Okay! We will prove it to you, and I want you to apologize to both of us afterwards." Karl. Hank growled.
"Don't talk nonsense to him, Carl, let's go!"
Zaft's seven angers were now smoky, and he dragged Karl angrily towards the bridge stairs.
"Where are you two?"
Feng, Hertz cried out behind him.
"Go to a position that proves our courage, we go to the deck to participate in the battle!"
Zaft said without looking back, then dragged Carl, who was still full of indignation, down the bridge escalator.
"It really has no patience, haha. I dare to say that I am a shame for the German ** team. I will not let you know what I have to do to serve the head of state."
Randolph sneered and said that he didn't expect that the two colonels were so quietly heard by him.
