Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat

  Chapter 69 Traps

  Everyone on the bridge changed their complexions drastically. If this is the case, wouldn’t it be a trap to come to the rescue by yourself? Reina said even more nervously:

   "Boss, what should we do, should we retreat immediately!"

   Fang Lang gave him a strange look and said:

   "The enemy is right in front of us, why retreat?"

   "But, this is a trap! That submarine, plus the Harry! We are about to be attacked."

   "No, there are more than two. The damage to the rudder of the Harry is not fake, and this damage is not the masterpiece of that submarine. There is at least one U-boat nearby. So there are two submarines here."

   "Then what shall we do?"

   "Don't worry, their biggest advantage is that they are in the dark and we are in the light. Do you think their advantage is still there?"

   "But even if we know about their plot, we are still at a disadvantage!"

  However, Fang Lang stopped talking, but began to think silently about how he should break the situation. What he couldn't understand the most now was how the Harry was controlled. No matter how he looked at it, even if all the people on the two submarines attacked the Harry, there were not as many people as the Harry!

   If it was said that there was a traitor on the Harry, Fang Lang would not believe it. After all, all the people on the Harry should also know that House and Harry are not good brothers. If the people on the Harry rebelled, it would be unreasonable not to know this.

   Now Fang Lang estimates that the number of enemy troops on the Harry will never exceed 30, because the number of members of a U-boat, plus the number of officers, is about 60. If there are too few people on a submarine, there is no way to launch an attack.

  So Fang Lang concluded that there would definitely not be many enemies on the Harry at this time. That means they have a chance of retaking the Harry. Slowly a plan gradually took shape in Fang Lang's mind.

   "Commissioner, help me call the deputy boatswain!"

"Yes, sir!"

  The deputy bosun of the USS House is Cruzerey Duarte, the former guard squad leader of the USS Gilas transport ship Fang Lang. This can be regarded as one person attaining Taoism and ascending to heaven! It turns out that the main backbone of the Gilas basically followed Fang Lang to serve on the new ship.

And this Duarte, like Fang Lang, belonged to the first batch of Brazilian expeditionary forces that landed in Italy. After about two years of training by the US military, and having participated in battles against Italy and the German army, he can be regarded as aboard the House. Except for Fang Lang, he is the only officer who has experienced actual combat in the army.

   Soon Duarte came to Fang Lang, Fang Lang gave him instructions, and after discussing with him for about 20 minutes, Duarte took the order and left.

  After everything was ready, Fang Lang connected the Harry's communication.

   "Harry, this is House, please answer if you receive it, it's over!"

   "House, the Harry received it, please tell me, it's over!"

   "In order to check the damage of your ship, we will send several mechanics from our ship to your ship to check the damage and confirm the rescue method. Please cooperate with the ship."

  Harry was silent for a moment before replying:

   "Harry received, our ship will put down the climbing net at the stern, please pay attention to safety, over."

   Seeing that the other party agreed, Fang Lang smiled slightly, knowing that the other party could not refuse such a request. After Fang Lang finished the communication, he came to the MK1 traffic boat on the side of the boat, and said to Duarte and the thirty soldiers who were ready to go:

   "Is everything ready?"

   Except for a few soldiers who played the role of mechanics and had M1911 pistols on their waists, the other soldiers were fully armed. Four of them carried M1 Gardland rifles on their backs, and the rest were all Thomson submachine guns.

   Everyone looked at their captain seriously, and shouted in unison:

"Ready."

  Fang Lang waved his hand fiercely and said, "Let's go then."

  The soldiers boarded the MK1 transportation boat without hesitation. This boat is a standard transportation boat on the Fletcher-class destroyer. It is specially responsible for personnel transportation and maritime communication, and can carry up to 25 people.

  In the dark night, two destroyers of the same model were separated by two nautical miles, and a traffic boat slowly sailed from the moving House to the Harry parked on the water.

   It seems that this is a simple rescue operation. The searchlights on the Harry are shining in front of the traffic boat throughout the whole process to guide the traffic boat. Soon the six mechanics on the traffic boat came from the bow to the stern in the traffic boat.

  Several people also checked carefully near the stern rudder at the stern, and the two mechanics even ignored the biting cold sea water, jumped into the sea water, and carefully checked the damage to the stern rudder with lights.

  There were seven or eight crew members on the warship all the time, sticking their heads out of the side of the ship, observing the actions of several people. After about twenty minutes, several people finally finished the inspection. Put the tools on your back and start climbing up the Harry.

  The crew on the Harry, when they saw a few people climbing up, several people began to hide in the shadows, leaving only four or five people standing at the stern to meet the mechanics of the House.

   "Hey! Dude, thank you so much, I'm the chief engineer of the Harry, what's the result of your inspection!"

  A middle-aged man with a short stature and blond hair enthusiastically pulled several people onto the Harry. And took the initiative to shake hands with everyone, saying with a very warm expression.

  Duarte took the initiative to come out, and was not polite to the middle-aged man in front of him, cursing directly:

"This **** weather, I'm freezing to death, do you have hot coffee, give us a cup to warm up, look at the damage to your tail rudder, it probably can't be repaired, let the rescue ship of the fleet come up later, and take you Drag it back!"

  Seeing that Duarte and the others were all wet, and two others were wearing water jackets, they were obviously mechanics who had just entered the water for inspection. The demands of the few people in front of them were also irresistible, so they could only say enthusiastically:

   "Yes, yes, yes! The weather is already cold and it's raining. We really need to find a warm place and drink a cup of hot coffee to warm up. Please come with me, let's go to the cabin to warm up together!"

  Then, he inadvertently gave an imperceptible look to several figures in the dark, then turned around and took the lead to walk forward.

  Duarte and the others remained calm, as if they didn't know anything, shook the rain on the raincoat, and followed the blond middle-aged man.

At this time, the House commanded by Fang Lang had already bypassed the Harry and arrived at the position 068 where the signal was lost. Fang Lang had been standing outside the bridge, staring at the sea not far away with a telescope. He couldn't see it, but Fang Lang's intuition told him that there was a pair of eyes in the sea not far away, and they were also staring at him.

  The dark night provided the enemy with a perfect camouflage. Fang Lang finally gave up using the telescope to really see the target. He just needs to know where he is, right?

  Back to the bridge, Fang Lang picked up the communicator and said:

   "Combat Information Center, how far are we from the area where the signal disappeared?"

   "Reporting sir, according to the records, the area where the signal disappeared is about one nautical mile directly in front of us."

   "Received, finished."

  Fang Lang turned his head and ordered to the whole ship:

   "The sound of the gunfire on the Harry is the order to attack. The enemy U-boat is just one nautical mile in front of our ship. All weapons can fire freely after they are within range. Do you understand?"

   "Understood, sir!"

"Sonar, once you open fire, the underwater enemies will definitely move. I hope you can catch them as soon as possible. Remember that it's not him, but them. There must be a deeper enemy hidden at the stern of the Harry. Be sure to Find him for me! Understand?"

   "Understood! Sir!"

  As Fang Lang expected, just one nautical mile directly in front of the House, the commander of a U-boat was using a periscope to stare at the Allied destroyer that was getting closer and closer to him.

   "Sir, why is this destroyer coming straight towards us, could they have spotted us?"

  He heard nervous questions from his subordinates.

   Calhoun was also puzzled. He could understand that the enemy didn't directly approach the Harry. It is normal for the enemy to want to check around the Harry.

   But the circle around it is too big! It was even about to circle around his own head, which made him a little vigilant.

   What he didn't understand was that they had been silent for such a long time, and it was logically impossible for the enemy to find them. But why do they circle around and get closer and closer to themselves!

  It's a pity that he is only a participant in this plan, not the planner. He must implement it according to the plan.
