"Although this war is still going on. However, the British have already attacked our holand. The army has just been defeated by the Germans in the southeast and has lost millions of troops. Therefore, it seems that the army that wants to be defeated now It is very difficult for the Germans to keep their holand. In order to ensure that the empire can rise one day, we need to transport the gold to Canada as the capital for the empire's coback. Unfortunately, we don't know which link will appear There is a problem, but the news still leaked." Captain John said with a bitter face.
"Captain, what should we do now? If the Germans don't agree to their request, they will really kill us!" A young sailor couldn't help asking. Obviously, everyone doesn't want to die.
"Captain, now we are surrounded by German warships. They cannot escape. There are only two roads ahead of us. One is to sink the war and sink into the sea with the gold. The other is to Follow the Germans' request and give them the gold in exchange for our lives." Said the navigator.
Captain John nodded, indeed they only had these two options left. However, how to choose this made Captain John very embarrassed. If it was him, he would rather die in battle. In this case, the glory of the Royal Navy can also be maintained. However, Captain John could clearly see their desire to survive from the eyes of those sailors.
"For the benefit of the British Empire and the glory of the Royal Navy, we should fight to the end and absolutely cannot surrender to the Germans!" Captain John said.
"Captain, the Germans will kill us all in that case. They are all devils, and they will do what they say!" A sailor was almost crying.
"How about we open the sea valve and let the battleship sink! In this way, the gold will not fall into the hands of the Germans." An officer suggested.
"No, the Germans made it very clear. If we don't give them the gold, they will really kill us." A tall sailor shook his head and refused.
Captain John's face couldn't help but look ugly, and he understood what they ant from the conversations of these people. Obviously, everyone wants to survive. If he stubbornly ordered the sinking of the battleship, maybe they would tie him up imdiately, or even kill him. The interests of the empire and the glory of the Royal Navy appear so fragile and insignificant when their lives are threatened.
"Captain, we still have family mbers, and we don't want to die like this. Let's surrender to the Germans!" A sailor prayed.
Others also looked at Captain John with pleading eyes.
"Okay, just do as you said!" Captain John sighed helplessly.
"Yes, Captain!" The faces of the other sailors had a look of survivors.
The destroyer 'Lancaster' imdiately called back the German fleet, and then began to reduce its speed in accordance with the requirents of the German fleet until it ca to a complete stop.
The soldiers of the German Marine Corps, who had been prepared for a long ti, boarded the destroyer "Lancaster" in a small boat.
The British sailors cooperated very well, and the German Marine Corps easily controlled the warship.
Subsequently, a large amount of gold began to be transferred to the battlecruiser "Blücher".
When the boxes were opened one by one, and the inside was filled with glittering gold, everyone who saw this scene even beca a little short of breath.
"Very well, the British are still very cooperative. Send the destroyer back to Germany. Then, the battlecruiser 'Blücher' returns to the country, and the other warships continue their missions!" Major General Lübeck ordered.
One hundred tons of gold, worth more than three hundred million marks. This is not a small fortune for Germany. If it is used to build an aircraft carrier, it is enough to build several.
The news that the destroyer "Lancaster" was captured by the German Navy shocked the British governnt. That's a hundred tons of gold! It was taken away by the Germans. Churchill also had a very headache. Although he had asked the Gold Transit Committee to keep it strictly confidential, the result was still the sa in the end.
However, although the destroyer "Lancaster" failed, Churchill still asked the Gold Transit Committee to continue to find ways to transport the wealth to Canada. If you stay in the UK, once the British Ho Army is defeated, all the wealth will fall into the hands of the Germans. Instead of this, it is better to ship to Canada as much as possible. Even if there will be so failures, it will be able to transport so wealth away. After the fall of the British Empire, they can count on those wealth to make a coback. Otherwise, relying on Canada's millions of people and taxation alone, it would be impossible to realize their plan.
In addition to using destroyers to transport that wealth, the British Gold Transit Council also employed submarines. Compared with destroyers, submarines have better secrecy and are less likely to be discovered. However, after the German intelligence agencies learned about the transportation thods and routes of the British wealth, they still blocked the British several tis.
A submarine encountered a destroyer of the German Navy as soon as it entered the Atlantic Ocean. As a last resort, the British submarine could only dive urgently to avoid it.
However, the destroyers of the German Navy continued to drop depth charges, forcing the British submarine to surface.
In the end, the British submarine had to surface because it was damaged. The hundreds of tons of gold it transported also fell into the hands of the Germans. 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 take saving their own lives as their top priority.
Of course, there are also people who regard death as ho. In the German Navy's battle to intercept British destroyers and submarines, people who fought to the death often encountered people who would never surrender to the German Navy until they were sunk.
The action of the British Gold Transit Commission lasted for a full month. During the period, they used 20 destroyers and 30 submarines to transport the wealth. Part of the wealth was intercepted by the German Navy, and the other part was sunk and sank to the bottom of the icy Atlantic Ocean, where it beca a buried treasure. The rest were safely transported to Canada. The total value of that batch of wealth is as high as hundreds of billions of marks. This is also the reason why the British governnt was able to persist in Canada after the fall of the mainland, and it also ard a powerful army, constantly causing trouble for Germany. It can be said that these wealth played a vital role.
