Chapter 802 Starting with Legend

Caribbean Sea, Lesser Antilles.

In the hidden bay of the French Martini Island, an ordinary-looking sailboat quietly drifted on the sea. The sailors in dirty military uniforms that were about to turn gray talked quietly while cleaning up the water cabin with leather buckets. Whenever they saw the busy figure back and forth from time to time, there was an indescribable way. Excited and surprised.

"Schleider, are you telling the truth? Did our major really say that?"

"Of course, this is what the first sgt. sgt. said to me."

"Is it that the first mate of Yaen is lying?"

"Hi, Paul, when have you seen that stubborn guy lied? He said to me that our colonel's first sentence after seeing His Majesty was, "Your Majesty, give me a sailboat to go to sea to fight, and let me beat the English out of my mind."

"Oh, my God, your majesty, don't he think the major is here?" The sailor pointed to his head and turned his finger a few times: "Is there a problem?"

"Fool, if Your Majesty thinks there is something wrong with the major, will we still be here?"

"

The conversation of the soldiers, as the sea breeze drifted to the front of the deck, the first officer who was reporting the situation, looked at the soldiers and smiled at the captain Lukner, "Major, you are about to become a legend in their mouth."

"Real is it? I like legends. Lukener maintained his Prussian aristocratic demeanor and seemed to be unaware of the madmen and psychopaths in his ears since he went to sea, but he had questions and answered Yan. Not only was Yaen his best friend, but also the first comrade-in-arms who volunteered to accompany him out to go crazy.

"Of course, although they say you are crazy, they already admire you very much."

"Yaen." Luckner's eyes turned: "Let me tell you another secret. I met General Scheer before I met His Majesty. Do you know what he said about me?"

"How do you say it?" Yan was also very interested in Luke Nar's legend and asked, "Do you think it's great?"

"No, he told me that I should go to the doctor."

"Haha." Yaen laughed and burst into tears.

Indeed, anyone who hears a major's request to modify a sailboat to attack a traditional naval power with dozens of battleships and hundreds of other warships will probably think that he is crazy. What's more, as long as people with normal nerves know that it is not easy for Germany to find a sailboat now. Ah!

If it hadn't just captured the British sailboat under his feet, it is estimated that even with the support of His Majesty William II, Lukner would not have found any suitable ship.

According to Major Joseph, who helped modify the Seahawk. Sailing boat? Where the fuck did you find museum antiques? Bolivia is still Congo!" Both are inland countries and regions) Lukener ignored Yaen, who was leaning forward and backward. After a long time of boring sailing and being afraid, the soldiers needed this kind of "joke", so he deliberately told everyone some of his own things gradually, in order to help the sailors adjust their psychology.

As Yaen left, the captain's second secret began to spread among the sailors again, and surprise and laughter came from the Seahawk again. At this time, Lukner had locked himself in the captain's room, pulled out the cigar he had robbed during the previous attack and hung it on the corners of his mouth, and sat quietly in front of the chart.

He didn't know how long he had stayed. It was not until Yan came in with milk and bread that he realized that it was noon unconsciously.

The broken ship will never lack living materials. If it is lacking, it means that you are incompetent, so the Seahawk's appearance is still shabby and there are no people on the dock, but the internal reserves are extremely abundant.

Seeing Lukener staring at the chart when he was eating, Yaen also pulled out a cigar and sat next to him. He asked curiously, "Major, where are we going next?"

As soon as Lukner took a sip of milk, he was slightly stunned after hearing the interrogation. From the bottom of his heart, he really didn't think about the next step!

Maybe this sounds like a joke, but the truth is that as a disguised attack ship, it is impossible to have any target. It is far safer to wander back and forth on the sea than to find a harbor. He is crazy in the eyes of outsiders, but he is not stupid! Staying here is to deal with Allied ships returning to Europe from the coastline of South America or Africa, not to confront the Allied navies.

Besides, even if you want to fight hard, this broken ship with only two temporarily installed rapid-fire guns can't deal with destroyers or even torpedo boats.

If he really had a goal, he really wanted to go around South America to the Pacific Ocean before going to sea, and then meet General Speer and the legendary invincible Chinese navy, but now this goal is completely ruined, because General Spee and the Far East Fleet have entered the Mediterranean Sea and are said to be squatting outside the port of Marseille to bully. The Frenchman, and the Chinese fleet drilled out of the Panama Canal, in the fortress of San Lorenzo hundreds of nautical miles away.

After Lukner sucked his nose and quickly solved the bread and milk, he suddenly pointed to Panama and asked, "Yaen, why do you think those Chinese don't do it?"

The sudden jumping question made Yaen's mind turn around. After taking two puffs of cigarettes, he asked, "Major, is there anything strange about this? Maybe they are not ready. After all, it is too far from the Far East, and it will take more than 20 days for the fastest cargo ship to go back and forth. It will take a lot of things to maintain such a huge fleet for high-intensity operations, so I think.

"Yaen, did you really graduate from the Hamburg Naval School?"

Before Yan finished speaking, Lukner stared at him like an idiot. This sentence directly made Yaen explode and said with a straight face, "Major, this is slander. I need you to restore my reputation."

"Okay, I apologize." Luckner was insincere, because he knew from Yan's eyes that this guy had been saying that he was a top student in the Naval Academy. He pointed to the chart and said with a smile, "Yaen, you're right. I think many people must also think that the Chinese fleet is involved in the logistics at this moment and can't be as fast as possible as before. Quick battle, but have you ever thought about it? It's not far to arrive in Panama from San Francisco and San Diego!"

San Francisco? San Diego?

Yaen was confused and said puzzledly, "Major, are you right? It's the United States. Can the Chinese get supplies in the United States?

Lukner looked serious and nodded: "Yaen, do you know how many supplies the United States had stored in these two places before the Chinese landed on the West Coast?

Before landing, the United States had more than 3 million troops and a fleet on the East Coast, especially in California. According to the normal calculation, they had to reserve materials to ensure that these troops would fight for three months, but they did not expect the Chinese to be so fast, within half a month. It was pushed to Arizona and New Mexico, so that all the materials stored on the front and second lines fell into the hands of the Chinese.

Although California and Arizona are relatively barren, New Mexico and Texas are rich in products. The Chinese have implemented a semi-isolation policy in the occupied areas, prohibiting the Yankees to leave their place of residence for 20 kilometers, forcing them to continue to grow and raise livestock to meet the needs of the army, and in order to shorten the distance, They also purchase directly from Mexico, Colombia and other countries, so from these calculations, the materials they need to obtain from the mainland are not very large, just ammunition, fuel and some special materials.

They now have the world's largest maritime fleet, and the route is basically without any disturbance. Even if they can reach 50 10,000 tons of ships a week, it is enough to reserve more than 800,000 tons of materials in a month, but if they also ship the seized U.S. reserves to Panama, then this number is completely possible. How many times!"

When Luckner said this, Yaen's face changed a little.

That's right. When everyone has been calculating the long route from Xinhua to Panama, they all ignore that they can directly get food and some necessities from the U.S. occupation zone, which not only greatly increases the speed, but also eases the problem of transportation tension.

Yarn knew that in the eyes of outsiders, Lunar was a chivalrous madman and adventurer, but in fact he was very shrewd. He dared to propose that the attack with a sailboat was actually well thought out. On the one hand, the sailboat was easy to disguise, and on the other hand, no country would notice a sailboat, even if it was used by a battleship. Face to face, as long as they avoid doing anything dangerous, it is estimated that they will not be very interested.

So, he didn't agree to go to sea together until he received a phone call from Lucner and listened to his detailed explanation.

Behind the careless and crazy adventure, there was delicacy and meticulousness that ordinary people could not reach, so when he heard that Lukener thought that the Chinese had received supplies from the United States, he actually believed it, but he still didn't expect it to be so huge.

"That Li Mo is very shameless. He almost moved all the factories and minerals in the occupied area, but have you found it? But there has never been any news that the grain has been transported!" Luckner's eyes became more and more thorough: "And now everyone's attention is focused on the fleet full of wealth from the United States and returning to the Far East every day, but there has never been any news of the fleet departing from the United States to Panama, and even the food delivery fleet has not appeared. Do you think this is normal?

If it were you, would you support Panama, which is close to the army, after searching enough food for the army?

Yarn nodded for sure. If he was the commander, he would definitely transfer some to Panama. After all, the area around Panama is not a food-producing area. Not to mention how many mouths such a huge fleet has, the nearly 100,000 troops stationed in Panama alone will consume a lot of food.

"However, there is no information about this!" Lukner took a breath, stood up and said affirmatively, "So I think logistics may be a problem, but it's not fundamental!"

"Then why don't they do it? If they procrastinate for one more day, the British and American power will grow one day."

"I don't know, but I'm sure they're waiting for something." Lukner said to himself. When he raised his eyelids to the top of the map, he suddenly thought of a possibility, and his heart jumped involuntarily.

"Let's go to San Lorenzo. I want to see it in person."
