A group of over twenty German military observers gathered on the beach.
The Germans saw a U-boat surfacing on the ocean.
The U-boat built by Germany was a superior submarine during World War II, with terrifying performance and achievements. It was powered by a diesel-electric system, with complete hydrostatic drive. The subsequent XXI version even featured stealth radar sonar, making it a true underwater ghost.
Over 1,000 U-boats were produced during World War II.
The largest achievement of the German navy, changing the course of World War II.
The German observation team, initially proud, now felt uncertain whether the Red Alert submarine was even more terrifying.
…
Lin Zheng finished his work in the office today.
He saw the German military observers.
After shaking hands with each of them.
Lin Zheng said, “Gentlemen, the German U-boat is indeed an excellent submarine.”
“But recently, the U-boat will face a major crisis.”
Lin Zheng explained to the twenty-plus people in front of him.
“Since 1941, the British destroyer escort fleet has been equipped with a new weapon: sonar!”
“Sonar can detect objects near the surface!”
“It can detect if there are any submarines lurking!”
“It can detect if there are any U-boats!”
The faces of the observers turned somber, and they felt a chill down their spines.
“Lin…thank you for informing us about this.”
“Do you have any solutions?”
Lin Zheng smiled slightly.
“Of course, there’s the anti-sonar coating, or sonar radar detectors.”
The members of the military observation team.
Followed Lin Zheng’s footsteps.
The Red Alert submarine built by Lin Zheng had an anti-sonar coating and had once sunk a Japanese aircraft carrier. To successfully sink an enemy, one must avoid enemy reconnaissance.
…
Lin Zheng was followed by over twenty people.
They arrived at the shipyard.
A massive black object stood in the shipyard.
The submarine had a streamlined shape, more aesthetically pleasing than the U-boat.
“This is a conventional submarine, with a maximum speed of 22 knots on the surface and 18 knots underwater. It carries a crew of 67.”
“It has a range of 7,200 kilometers...”
”It can launch 8 533mm torpedoes simultaneously. The torpedoes can passively change direction. The key is its equipped band radar and mid-frequency sonar, as well as its anti-sonar coating. It can perfectly lurk at a depth of 300 meters.”
After Lin Zheng’s introduction.
The German military observation team exclaimed, “This is far superior to the U-boat!”
The military observers present were all intelligent individuals.
Mobility, stealth, and offensive power!
Especially the roles of sonar and radar!
Germany had suffered losses of over a thousand aircraft during the Battle of Britain due to radar.
Lin Zheng…“This is our basic conventional submarine!”
“Its biggest advantage is that it’s cheap!”
“It’s cheap enough to be mass-produced like small warships. We’ve launched over 30 of them recently.”
Lin Zheng had been quietly developing since he first crossed over in 1939. Now, it was 1941, and in two years, the Red Alert base had been established, and the speed of troop production was increasing.
Lin Zheng had to face World War II, and all nations were frantically producing troops.
Lin Zheng aimed to produce over 100 conventional submarines.
As for the 7,300-kilometer range, it was enough to attack the Japanese mainland or reach American Hawaii. Sufficient oil tankers could be arranged to replenish the range.
…
…
Meanwhile, in Europe.
German Naval Headquarters
Dönitz had just disembarked from a U-boat and arrived at his office, covered in dust and grime.
Submarine sailors faced a grueling job, working in a sealed can for months on end, with everything from eating to sleeping done in a cramped space.
The stifling, humid atmosphere, and the constant risk of death during war created a tense environment.
Dönitz, covered in dust and grime, said, “The wolfpack tactics, training, and recruitment of 100 submariners must be accomplished.”
“The British destroyers can now detect us! We must find a solution!”
A naval deputy reported, “The military observation team…Lin Zheng said that the British destroyers are using sonar or radar devices!”
After explaining sonar and radar devices.
Dönitz’s face became completely gloomy. This meant the U-boats had to upgrade their sonar systems.
“We must buy sonar devices.”
“We must enhance the stealth of the U-boats!”
…
Dönitz left his office and went to the beach.
There were already a large number of German minesweepers working on the beach.
Mines were floating on the surface, and the task of the minesweepers was to clear them.
Dönitz: “The Red Alert Corps sold us minesweepers that will pass through the Bering Strait, the coast of the Soviet Union, and reach our port in fifteen days?”
“The dropout, in order to save face, allowed the German minesweepers to clear the mines first?”
Dönitz was shocked to learn of the minesweeper mission.
He felt that since the Red Alert arrived.
The world’s military equipment had started a race!
The terrifying pressure of involution!
U-boats involved, even minesweepers involved!
Dönitz sighed, “The German navy is too miserable, they’ll be driven to their deaths!”
“After the mines in the North Sea are cleared, battleships, cruisers, and destroyers must all join the battle.”
Dönitz saw hundreds of small minesweepers working on the beach.
After a while, several naval commanders approached him.
Every one of them had a pained expression, with gloomy faces!
Dönitz: “Naval Commander Raeder was severely scolded by the dropout. Were you scolded too?”
“The global naval situation is one of involution. If we lose the race, the German navy will have no future.”
