Thick smoke billowed from the chimney of the light cruiser ''Konigsberg''. Under the pressure of the high-temperature steam, the steam turbine began to run rapidly, and the speed of the battleship immediately began to increase continuously.
A few minutester, the speed of the light cruiser ''Konigsberg'' increased to more than 30 knots. Onnd, thirty knots might be nothing at all. However, for warships in the ocean, the speed of thirty knots is undoubtedly very fast.
Especially, at this moment, the light cruiser ''Konigsberg'' is rushing towards the target, which is the battleship ''Nevada'', the gship of the US fleet. Such a move has even aroused the tension of the US fleet.
"General, the Germans are approaching us quickly." A US military staff officer roared in horror.
"What''s going on? What do those Germans want to do?" Admiral Fletcher also eximed.
"Hell, they don''t want to hit us!" said a US military officer.
Admiral Fletcher was stunned for a moment, subconsciously he wanted to order to fire and sink the light cruiser ''Konigsberg''. However, the words were already on the verge of his mouth, but he swallowed them back. Of course, with the strength of the US fleet, the light cruiser ''Konigsberg'' could be easily sunk and torn to pieces. However, if they dare to open fire, it will inevitably lead to a war between the United States and Germany.
"Sir, what should we do now? The German battleship is getting closer and closer to us, and it is already very dangerous!"
"Warn them, stop advancing immediately. Otherwise, we will open fire!" Admiral Fletcher ordered with a livid face.
It''s just that the light cruiser "Konigsberg"pletely ignored the warning of the US fleet. At a speed of up to 32 knots, the battleship rushed towards the USS Nevada, the gship of the US fleet.
"General, the Germans ignore us!"
"Crazy! Are those Germans a group of lunatics? Don''t they know that if they dare to hit our battleship, it will be an act of war?" Admiral Fletcher roared loudly. In his eyes, the German naval officers and soldiers on the light cruiser "Konigsberg" of the German Navy have be lunatics one by one. However, it is that kind of lunatic who is undoubtedly the scariest.
"Sir, do we want to fire at them? At this distance, we have a very high chance of hitting them. As long as one main artillery shell hits, it can be severely damaged or even sunk. Our crisis can be resolved." suggested an officer.
"Idiot! If we open fire, then we will have to break out of war with Germany. No one can bear such consequences." Admiral Fletcher said with a cold face. Of course he wanted to give an order to sink the light cruiser of the German Navy. However, the consequences were not something he could bear. Therefore, he could only suppress the anger in his heart.
"Sir, what should we do then? Do we just watch the Germans crash into us? With the size and speed of the Germans'' hull, it is certainly impossible to sink us. However, we can also be severely damaged."
"Order other destroyers and cruisers to **** us. If necessary, they can ram the German warship." Admiral Fletcher issued an order.
Since the German Navy wants to ram their gship, they can naturally use the same means to fight back.
However, the response of the US fleet was still a bit slow. After the speed of the light cruiser "Konigsberg" has been fully increased, the light cruisers and destroyers of the US Navy that have not yetpleted the speed increase cannot stop the light cruiser "Konigsberg" at all. Instead, it was avoided.
"Hans, very good, you did a great job. You are definitely the best navigator in the Imperial Navy." On the bridge of the light cruiser ''Konigsberg'', Lieutenant Colonel Erich Raederughed heartily. .
"Of course, my dream is to drive a warship like a speedboat. If one day I can be the navigator of a battleship, that would be great!" The navigator, Major Hans, smiled.
"Hans, I promise, you will definitely have a chance. One day I will be the captain of a battleship, and I will definitely let you be my navigator!" Lieutenant Colonel Erich Raeder said very solemnly.
Time passed by every minute and every second, and the light cruiser ''Konigsberg'' was getting closer and closer to the battleship ''Nevada''. They have sessfully thrown off the American warships that came to intercept them, and aimed their bows at the weak midship of the USS Nevada.
"God! Those Germans are really crazy, they really dare to bump into it!"
"Idiot, turn around quickly, don''t let the Germans hit you." Admiral Fletcher roared loudly. For the U.S. Navy, every battleship is an extremely valuablebat power. If they are hit hard, this will greatly damage theirbat power.
"Very good, all posts pay attention, we are about to crash into an American warship. Everyone, hold on to the handrails so that you don''t get thrown out." Lieutenant Colonel Erich Raeder ordered.
For a while, the German naval soldiers on the light cruiser "Konigsberg" all tightly grasped things that could fix their bodies, so as to avoid throwing them out due to the strong inertia when they hit. When the battleship is sailing at high speed, once it is thrown out, it means that it is vulgar.
"Damn it, make anti-collision preparations!" Admiral Fletcher saw that he couldn''t get rid of the light cruiser "Konigsberg" of the German Navy, so he had to order anti-collision preparations with a livid face.
Now, he can only pray that the powerful defense of the battleship ''Nevada'' can withstand the impact of the light cruiser of the German Navy.
"Boom!"
"Crunch!"
Under everyone''s gaze, the light cruiser ''Konigsberg'' mmed into the midship of the battleship ''Nevada''. Although the armor of the battleship "Nevada" is very thick, the armor of the midship part is also as thick as 343 mm. However, under the cutting of the sharp bow of the light cruiser ''Konigsberg'', the armor was still torn open, making that tooth-biting sound.
However, after all, the light cruiser ''Konigsberg'' is nothing more than a medium-sized battleship with a discement of only more than 5,000 tons. Hitting a battleship with a discement of up to 30,000 tons, the consequences can naturally be imagined. The bow of the entire battleship was almost destroyed. Of course, exchanging his own serious injuries for the serious injuries of a battleship of the US Navy, such a deal is undoubtedly very cost-effective.
