Qin Hui couldn't help but start guessing what the cargo was in this British merchant ship, but soon he laughed, what did it have to do with what he was carrying in this British merchant ship, we were a hell-class submarine, could we still pick up the goods after sinking the merchant ship?

Qin Hui then ordered: "Discover an enemy merchant ship, fifteen on the left side, use sonar to aim and launch torpedoes." ”

It stands to reason that the hell-class submarine is facing a merchant ship that has no combat effectiveness, and it is more certain to use periscope to aim and launch torpedoes, but Qin Hui did not give such an order, because Qin Hui is now focusing on sonar aiming and launching tactics, and he is seizing all the time to let his subordinates practice.

Qin Guangwang's boat quickly turned its course, and Qin Hui's order to turn the Qinguang Wangboat to the tail of the merchant ship, because there is a propeller behind the ship, and the sound of the propeller is the largest in the whole ship, and the sonar signal is relatively obvious, and with such a sonar signal, the accuracy is relatively high.

The merchant ship swallowed slowly, like a turtle in front of the king of Qin Guang, so the king boat of Qin Guang quickly turned to its tail, the sonar signal became clearer, and the torpedo chief locked on to the target according to the sonar signal, and then reported: "A tiger shark, the target has been locked, whether to launch or not, please instruct." ”

"Launch." At this time, Qin Hui was still observing the merchant ship with a periscope.

The torpedo chief pressed the launch button, a tiger shark torpedo left the Qin Guangwang boat and pounced on the merchant ship, the submarine fired a torpedo and the artillery tank fired a shell is different, when the artillery tank fired a shell, the turret could feel an obvious vibration inside, and an obvious sound could be heard, but the submarine would not, and the submariners would not feel anything after firing the torpedo.

The only person who has a feeling is probably that the sonar is long, and a sharp sound soon appeared in his headphones, and that sound was very loud at the beginning, completely covering the target sound (because the torpedo tube and the sonar base array are very close together), and as the tiger shark torpedo moved away from the Qin Guangwang boat, the sound gradually became smaller.

The sonar chief looked at the azimuth table and distance table in front of him, and calculated whether the torpedo hit the target, there is no fluorescent display screen on the Qin Guangwang boat, so the azimuth and distance information of the sound target must be displayed by mechanical simulation, such accuracy is not as good as the fluorescent display, Lin Fei has already started to develop the fluorescent display, ready to be applied to the next generation of sonar system.

Qin Hui looked at the merchant ship in the periscope, waiting for the moment when the tiger shark torpedo hit.

Waiting for a torpedo to hit in the periscope is an experience that ordinary people cannot experience in a lifetime, this experience actually carries a strong sense of pleasure, on a calm target, a huge curtain of water suddenly explodes, and the water curtain covers the target overwhelmingly, and at that moment, all anxiety and nervousness are replaced by ecstasy, and the pleasure erupts like a volcano......

Qin Hui had already fallen into this pleasure deeply and couldn't extricate himself......

Suddenly, a huge curtain of water rose on the merchant ship, and the merchant ship trembled all over, and at the same time, the sonar chief shouted excitedly: "Hit the target!" ”

The crew of the entire Qinguang King boat cheered, the life of the submariners was too boring and boring, and hitting the target was their only happiness.

If it was a warship, Qin Hui would immediately order a dive at full speed and withdraw from the battle, but since it was a civilian ship, then you could look at it for a while, although the displacement of the merchant ship was more than 20,000 tons, but after all, it was a civilian ship, and the sinking resistance was relatively poor, and there would be no anti-torpedo design, and it was hit by a torpedo and suddenly began to sink.

It took three minutes for the merchant ship to sink, and in those three minutes, countless British sailors jumped into the sea, flopping and struggling in the icy waters, sinking too fast for them to release the lifeboats.

Qin Hui also did not give the order to rescue these crew members, and when he saw that the merchant ship was sinking, he ordered to dive, withdraw from the battle, and continue to look for the next target.

What Qin Hui didn't know was that the merchant ship was named Queen Bee, and it was loaded with gold shipped by the Royal Bank of England to the British mainland, and the amount of these golds was five thousand tons!

Suffice it to say, every cargo hold on the Queen Bee was filled with gold nuggets, and there were even special police officers on board to guard these holds in case a crew member would sneak up on a nugget for money.

Although there have been long-term advances in radio technology in the world, these advances are not enough to equip every civilian ship with a radio communicator, not even a gold carrier, and the Royal Navy and Army regard radio technology as a top secret and will never equip merchant ships.

Since there was no radio on the Queen Bee gold carrier, no one knew what happened to the Queen Bee gold carrier, and it was not until a few hours later that the few surviving crew members were rescued by a passing merchant ship and sent back to Burma.

After arriving in Burma, the surviving crew immediately explained their fate to the British Navy in Burma: "The Queen Bee gold carrier was sailing, when suddenly there was a boom on the starboard side of the ship, and a huge water curtain rose into the air, and then only a few minutes later, the queen Bee gold carrier sank ......"

This description surprised the British Navy, because they remembered that during the World War in the South Seas, the British battleship was sunk by the Chinese submarine!

Could it be that the submarines of the Chinese Navy aimed at British merchant ships this time?

The British naval commander did not dare to elaborate on this explanation, although it seemed to be the only plausible one.

It's not so much that I can't believe it, but I don't want to believe it, because if this explanation is true, it means that the waters near Myanmar have become extremely dangerous, and no merchant ships will dare to leave the port again.

If no merchant ships dare to leave the port, the interests of the merchants will suffer huge losses, and the operation of the entire Burmese colonial government will come to a standstill. If you can't find a submarine from the Huaxia Navy, you will be held accountable.

The general director of the Royal Bank of England heard that a ship transporting 5,000 tons of gold was sunk by a submarine of the Chinese Navy, and he was so angry that he almost vomited blood and died.

The chief director immediately found the commander of the navy and reprimanded the commander of the navy for his poor protection of merchant ships, and the commander of the navy was not to be outdone, and quarreled with the chief director, and the commander of the navy saw that the businessman was looking for his own accountability, and he did not dare to admit that the queen bee gold transport ship was sunk by the submarine of the Chinese navy, and only said that the queen bee gold transport ship had a boiler failure and exploded on its own.

The naval commander suppressed the matter and did not announce to the outside world that the queen bee gold transport ship was sunk by a submarine of the Huaxia Navy, but soon, the news of more merchant ships being sunk followed.

Just one day later, a grain carrier named "Dennison" sank in the same condition as the gold carrier Queen Bee, and 100,000 pounds of rice sank deep into the sea.

On the same day, a high-class cruise ship called the "God of Giants" sank, and all the more than 100 gentlemen and ladies on board died.

Another day later, a timber carrier called "Olympus" was sunk, which had a displacement of more than 10,000 tons and was loaded with 2 thousand tons of wood.

These timbers are all high-quality Burmese teak, teak can resist termite and sea insect bites, extremely resistant to corrosion, is the best choice for warship wood, the loss of these wood, so that the order of the British warship factory had to suspend the construction of warships, economic losses of more than 200,000 pounds.

In five days, a total of fifteen British ships were mysteriously sunk, with a total tonnage of more than 200,000 tons, economic losses of more than eight million pounds (such a large economic loss, mainly due to the 'contribution' of the gold carrier Queen Bee), and the death toll of more than six hundred.

The commander of the Burmese Navy still refused to admit that these ships were sunk by the submarines of the Huaxia Navy, and at this time, someone remembered the telegram issued by Lin Fei, in which he said that all the British ships and personnel were the targets of the Huaxia Navy, and they finally put away their sneering faces at this time, because they suddenly realized that Lin Fei was really coming!

This is the wrath of the Flying Emperor, boiling over the sea, to burn the dignity and glory of the British Empire to ashes.

Under the influence of the Chinese Navy's submarine wolf pack tactics, the price of merchant ship charter in Yangon Port soared, from Yangon to Kolkata, India, only 5,000 pounds, but at this time it soared to 10,000, and the price is still soaring, often before the merchant charter contract is signed, the price rises again.

Soaring prices have skyrocketed the cost of transporting goods, and the merchants suddenly discover that even throwing them in the sea is more cost-effective than shipping them back home.

In this environment, there are merchant ships that are stimulated by high freight rates, and those merchant ships that venture to sea are quickly sunk, so no one dares to go to sea anymore.

In order to raise the price of freight even higher, they desperately suppressed those shipowners who dared to go to sea, and under the joint efforts of many parties, not a single merchant ship was willing to leave the port of Yangon, and the huge port of Yangon almost became a dead port.

Britain was furious and used diplomatic means to condemn Lin Fei, accusing Lin Fei of disregarding morality and brazenly launching attacks on civilians, Lin Fei bluntly said that we did not send warships to attack British civilian ships, and we, the Chinese Empire, expressed our condolences for the ships sunk in the mysterious explosion.

The British side was very helpless, so they could only order the commander of the Burmese Navy to dispatch the warships of the Royal Navy to escort the merchant ships, although these warships were all small destroyers, but they were all equipped with depth charges, and once they found a submarine of the Chinese Navy, they would attack and drop depth charges.

For the first time, the submarines of the Chinese Navy will face and escort destroyers and depth charges.
