Captain John's brows furrowed tightly, and as time passed, his mood became more and more solemn. He had a vague feeling that the news had leaked out of their secret mission this time. Otherwise, the Germans would not have discovered them by such coincidence.

Of course, maybe it's also a coincidence. If it's a coincidence, that's for the best. In that case, they might be able to escape. If it weren't for the coincidence, then they were dangerous this time.

Captain John, who hadn't slept all night, was very tired. But he forced himself to cheer up. The next is the most dangerous time, and there is no room for negligence. If they're not careful, they could die here.

In less than half an hour, the lookout of the destroyer 'Lancaster' raised the alarm.

Captain John's face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Captain, the destroyer of the Germans was found. In our northwest, southwest and west, there are six! An officer reported.

"Bastard! It's a trap! Captain John couldn't help but curse.

The German Navy had actually assembled six destroyers here, and there was no doubt that they were coming at them. If it were general training, there would have been no need to assemble so many destroyers. It is clear that the Germans already knew their task and came to wait for them.

It's just that the current Captain John doesn't have the heart to care about this, he has to find a way to lead the battleship to escape.

Although the performance of the destroyer "Lancaster" is good, it is not inferior to the destroyers of the German Navy in one hand. However, with a pair of six, the destroyer 'Lancaster' has no chance of winning at all. Six destroyers of the German Navy would easily send them to the bottom of the sea.

"Turn! Turn now. We can't go any further! "Captain John gave the order.

If you continue to advance, you will only fall into the encirclement of the destroyers of the German Navy, and then you will only be sunk. Turning back will certainly make this mission fail, but at least it will save them. 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' made an arc on the surface of the sea, quickly completed the turn, and tried to escape back to England.

But then, Captain John and the rest of the British Navy despaired. Because, in front of them, a huge battleship appeared. That battleship was none other than the battlecruiser 'Blucher'. The three triple 50-caliber 305-mm guns of the battlecruiser 'Blucher' were already raised high.

"Fire!"

The commander of the fleet, Rear Admiral Lübeck, gave the order.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The three triple 50x caliber 305 mm guns began to roar, and one shell after another smashed into the destroyer 'Lancaster'.

"Oh God! Battlecruisers of the Germans. Captain John looked desperate.

"What to do? Captain, the Germans even showed up with battle cruisers, will we still be able to escape? The other officers were also horrified. They were nothing more than a small destroyer, and the German Navy's battle cruisers were able to sink them with just one shot.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The shells fell next to the destroyer 'Lancaster' and, after exploding, splashed high columns of water.

"Turn southwest and rush over!" Captain John ordered.

The destroyer 'Lancaster' continued to turn and wanted to withdraw from the southwest. However, soon they found out that a huge battleship had also appeared there. It was the light cruiser Magdeburg of the German Navy, with a displacement of more than 4,500 tons, armed with four triple 105 mm guns, and a maximum speed of 27.6 knots.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

When the light cruiser "Magdeburg" also began to fire, a dense rain of bullets fell around the destroyer "Lancaster", making the destroyer "Lancaster" dangerous.

"Damn, another light cruiser for the Germans, what should we do?" At this moment, even Captain John didn't know what to do.

It can be said that they have completely fallen into the encirclement of the German Navy. On all sides were the warships of the German Navy. There were not only battlecruisers and light cruisers with great firepower, but also fast destroyers. This makes it difficult for the light cruiser 'Lancaster' to fly even if it is a bad pool!

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The battleships surrounded by the Germans were constantly firing, and the shells exploded around the destroyer 'Lancaster', making this small destroyer like a small ship in a storm, threatening to capsize at any moment.

"Captain, the Germans have sent a telegram in clear code." A communications soldier reported.

"What do the Germans want to do?" Captain John asked.

"Captain, the Germans demanded that we leave the gold or sink us! They repeatedly insisted that if we didn't cooperate, they would kill us all! The communications soldier swallowed hard and scolded, and then said.

"Gold? There is gold on our warships? ”

"Oh God! It turned out that the goods we loaded last night were all gold. No wonder the Germans are chasing after us. ”

"What should I do now? If you don't give the gold to the Germans, they will kill us all! ”

"Damn the Germans, are they trying to violate international conventions?"

"Humph! Germany is the most powerful country in the world, and even if they kill us all, no one will be able to do anything to them! ”

The British officers and men on the destroyer "Lancaster" began to gossip.

Captain John's brow was already furrowed tightly. The Germans really came for gold. He was tasked with transporting the gold safely to Canada. If it fails, the gold will have to sink to the bottom of the sea, lest it fall into the hands of the Germans.

But now those despicable Germans are threatening them with their lives. This puts Captain John in a dilemma. He had no doubt that if they did not do what the Germans demanded, the Germans would kill them all.

"That's right, our warships are transporting gold, a whole hundred tons of gold. The gold was shipped to Canada. If we can't hold our homeland, we will go to Canada to continue the fight against the Germans. Therefore, it is necessary to transport the wealth of the country in advance so that it does not fall into the hands of the Germans! "Captain John laid everything out.
