"Although this war is still going on. However, the Britain people have already attacked our homeland. The army has just been defeated by the Germany people in the southeast, losing millions of troops. Therefore, it seems that it is already very difficult to defeat the Germany people and defend the homeland. In order to ensure that Empire can one day rise, we need to transport this gold to Canada as capital for the Empire's comeback. However, unfortunately, I don't know which link has gone wrong," John Captain said with a grimace.
"Captain, what should we do now? If we don't agree to the Germany people's request, they will really kill us!" A young sailor couldn't help but ask. Obviously, no one wants to die.
"Captain, we are surrounded by German warship now, and they cannot escape. There are only two roads in front of us. One is to sink in battle and sink into the sea together with the gold. The other is to comply with the requirements of the Germany people and give them these gold in exchange for our lives." Said the navigator.
John Captain nodded, they really only had these two choices left. However, how to choose makes John Captain very difficult. If it were him, he would rather sink. In this case, the glory of Royal Navy can also be maintained. However, John Captain could clearly see the desire to survive in the eyes of those sailors.
"For the interests of the British Empire and the glory of Royal Navy, we should fight to the end and absolutely cannot surrender to the Germany people!" John Captain said.
"Captain, if that happens, the Germany people will kill us all. They are all devils, and they will definitely do what they say!" A sailor was almost crying.
"Otherwise, let's open the sea valve and let the battleship sink! In this case, the gold will not fall into the hands of the Germany people." An officer suggested.
"No, the Germany people made it very clear. If we don't give them the gold, they will really kill us all." A tall sailor shook his head and refused.
John Captain couldn't help but look ugly. He understood what these people meant from their conversations. Obviously, everyone wants to survive. If he stubbornly ordered the sinking of the battleship, they might tie him up immediately or even kill him. Empire's interests and Royal Navy's glory appear so fragile and insignificant when their lives are threatened.
"Captain, we all still have families, and we don't want to die like this. Let's surrender to the Germany people!" a sailor prayed.
Others also looked at John Captain with pleading eyes.
"Okay, just do as you say!" John Captain sighed helplessly.
"Yes, Captain!" The other sailors had a look of survival on their faces.
The destroyer 'Lancaster' immediately called back German fleet, and then followed German fleet's request and began to reduce its speed until it came to a complete stop.
The soldiers of German Marine Corps, who had been prepared for a long time, boarded the destroyer "Lancaster" in small boats.
Britain The sailors were very cooperative, and German Marine Corps easily took control of the warship.
Subsequently, a large amount of gold began to be transferred to the 'Blücher' number Battlecruiser.
When the boxes were opened one by one and they were filled with gleaming gold, everyone who saw this scene even breathed a little faster.
"Very good, the Britain people are still very cooperative. Send the destroyer back to Germany. Then, the 'Blücher' Battlecruiser returns to the country, and the other warships continue to perform their missions!" Rear Admiral Lübeck ordered.
One hundred tons of gold is worth more than 300 million Mark. This is also a big fortune for Germany. If used to build aircraft carriers, it would be enough to build several.
The news that the destroyer 'Lancaster' was captured by German Navy shocked British government. That's one hundred tons of gold! In this way, it was taken away by Germany people. Churchill also had a very headache. Although he had asked Gold Transport Committee to keep it strictly confidential, the result was still the same in the end.
However, although the destroyer 'Lancaster' failed, Churchill still asked Gold Transport Committee to continue to find a way to transport the wealth to Canada. If you stay with Britain, once the British mainland army is defeated, all the wealth will fall into the hands of the Germany people. Instead of doing this, it is better to ship it to Canada as much as possible. Even if you encounter some failures, you can still bring some wealth away. After the British Empire's homeland fell, they were counting on their wealth to make a comeback. Otherwise, it would be impossible to realize their plan just relying on Canada's millions of people and tax revenue.
In addition to using destroyers to transport those riches, Britain Gold Transport Committee also employs submarines. Compared with destroyers, submarines have better confidentiality and are less likely to be discovered. However, after Germany's intelligence agency understood clearly the transportation methods and routes of the Britain people's wealth, they still blocked the Britain people several times.
A submarine just entered Atlantic Ocean and encountered the destroyer German Navy. As a last resort, the Britain submarine could only make an emergency dive to avoid it.
However, the German Navy destroyer continued to drop depth bombs, forcing the Britain submarine to surface.
In the end, the Britain submarine had to surface because it was damaged by the bomb. The hundreds of tons of gold it transported also fell into the hands of Germany people. If the submarine does not float, it will only sink to the bottom of the sea. Those submariners who don't want to die will naturally make saving their own lives their first priority.
Of course, there are also people who regard death as a matter of course. In the battles between German Navy's destroyers and submarines that intercepted the Britain people, we often encountered people who fought to the end and would never surrender to German Navy until they were sunk.
Britain Gold Transport Committee's action lasted for a full month. During this period, they used twenty destroyers and thirty submarines to transport the wealth. Part of the wealth was intercepted by German Navy, and the other part was sunk and sank into the cold Atlantic Ocean seabed, becoming treasures buried under the sea. The rest was safely transported to Canada. The total value of that batch of wealth is as high as hundreds of billions Mark. This is also the reason why British government was still able to persist in Canada after the fall of the homeland, and also armed a powerful army to constantly cause trouble for Germany. It can be said that these wealth have played a vital role.
