John Captain frowned tightly, and as time passed, his mood became more and more solemn. He vaguely felt that the news about their secret mission this time had been leaked. Otherwise, Germany people would not have discovered them by such a coincidence.
Of course, it might also be a coincidence. If it was a coincidence, that would be the best. In this case, they might be able to escape. If it wasn't a coincidence, then they were in danger this time.
John Captain, who had not slept all night, was very tired. But he forced himself to cheer up. The next step is the most dangerous time, and there is no room for negligence. If they are not careful, they may die here.
In less than half an hour, the lookout hand of the destroyer 'Lancaster' sounded the alarm.
John Captain's face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Captain, we found Germany destroyers. There are them to our northwest, southwest and West, six in total!" an officer reported.
"Asshole! This is a trap!" John Captain couldn't help but curse.
German Navy actually assembled six destroyers here. There is no doubt that they are coming for them. If it were a general training, there would be no need to gather so many destroyers. Obviously, the Germany people already know their mission and are here to wait for them.
However, John Captain no longer has the mind to care about this. He must find a way to lead the battleship to escape.
Although the performance of the destroyer 'Lancaster' is good, in one-on-one terms, it is not inferior to the destroyer German Navy. However, in a one-to-six battle, the destroyer 'Lancaster' has absolutely no chance of winning. The six destroyers of German Navy will easily send them to the bottom of the sea.
"Turn! Turn immediately. We can't move forward any further!" John Captain gave the order.
If you continue to move forward, you will only fall into the siege of German Navy destroyers, and the only result will be to be sunk. If they turn back, the mission will fail, but at least they can be saved. The most important thing is to be able to keep that gold.
"Yes, Captain!" The navigator immediately went to control the rudder himself.
The destroyer 'Lancaster' drew an arc on the sea, quickly completed the turn, and wanted to escape back to Britain.
But then, John Captain and other British Navy officers and soldiers became desperate. Because, in front of them, a huge warship appeared. That battleship is none other than 'Blücher' number Battlecruiser. The three triple-mounted 50 times caliber 305mm Main Gun numbered Battlecruiser number 'Blücher' has its barrel raised high.
"Fire!"
Fleet Commander Rear Admiral Lübeck, issued the order.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The three triple-mounted 50 times caliber 305mm Main Gun began to roar, and the shells roared and hit the destroyer 'Lancaster'.
"God! Germany's Battlecruiser." John Captain looked desperate.
"What should we do? Captain, Germany people and even Battlecruiser have appeared, can we still escape?" The other officers also looked Panic. They are just a small destroyer. German Navy and Battlecruiser can sink them with just one shot.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The shell fell next to the destroyer 'Lancaster', and after the explosion, it splashed a high column of water.
"Turn to the southwest, speed up and rush over!" John Captain ordered.
The destroyer 'Lancaster' continued to turn and wanted to evacuate from the southwest. However, they soon discovered that a huge warship also appeared there. That is the Light Cruiser of German Navy's 'Magdeburg'. It has a displacement of more than 4,500 tons, is equipped with four triple-mounted 105mm Main Gun, and has a maximum speed of 27.6 knots.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
When the 'Magdeburg' Light Cruiser also started firing, a dense rain of bullets suddenly fell around the 'Lancaster' destroyer, putting the 'Lancaster' destroyer in danger.
"Damn, it's another Light Cruiser with Germany people. What should we do?" This time, even John Captain didn't know what to do.
It can be said that they have completely fallen into the siege of German Navy. There are German Navy battleships in all directions. There are not only Battlecruiser and Light Cruiser with powerful firepower, but also fast destroyers. This makes it difficult for the 'Lancaster' number Light Cruiser to fly even if it is wrong!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
German military The surrounding warships kept firing, and the shells exploded around the destroyer 'Lancaster', making this small destroyer like a small boat in a storm, with the possibility of capsizing at any time.
"Captain, Germany sent the clear code Telegram." A communications soldier reported.
"What do Germany people want to do?" John Captain asked.
"Captain, the Germany people asked us to keep the gold, otherwise they will sink us! They repeatedly emphasized that if we don't cooperate, they will kill us all!" The signal soldier swallowed hard and then said.
"Gold? Is there gold on our warships?"
"God! It turns out that the goods we packed last night were all gold. No wonder the Germany people are chasing us."
"What should we do now? If we don't give the gold to the Germany people, they will kill us all!"
"Damn Germany people, do they want to violate international conventions?"
"Hmph! Germany is now the most powerful country in the world. Even if they kill us all, no one can do anything to them!"
The British Navy officers and soldiers on the destroyer 'Lancaster' all started chattering.
John Captain's brows were already tightly knitted together. Germany people really come here for gold. The task he received was to safely transport the gold to Canada. If it fails, the gold will have to be sunk to the bottom of the sea to prevent it from falling into the hands of Germany people.
But now, those despicable Germany people are threatening them with their lives. This puts John Captain into a dilemma. He had no doubt that if the Germany people did not follow their requirements, the Germany people would definitely kill them all.
"Yes, our warships are transporting gold, a full hundred tons of gold. This gold is transported to Canada. Once the mainland cannot be defended, we will go to Canada to continue fighting against Germany people. Therefore, the wealth in the country needs to be transported away in advance to avoid falling into the hands of Germany people!" John Captain told everything.
