Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat

  Chapter 78 Surrender

   On May 7, 1945, German Admiral General Dönitz announced the unconditional surrender of Germany.

  In the early morning of May 8, Fang Lang led the Haus into the North Sea with Reinhardt's Harry. According to the position provided by the German Navy Ministry, he was preparing to receive two German submarines that were about to be ordered to float and surrender.

  Reinhardt was very excited from the beginning of the departure. He directly dropped his battleship and came to Fang Lang's House to chat and fart with Fang Lang to enhance their relationship. He seemed not worried about the German submarine that was about to surrender.

  However, as far as Fang Lang knows, not all submarines followed the orders of the German Navy Ministry and chose to surrender without hesitation.

  Some German submarines refused to surrender and chose to sink together with the ship, some German submarines chose to drop their personnel and surrender before sinking the ship, and some even directly refused to surrender and chose to resist to the death.

   Therefore, Fang Lang had to remind Reinhardt very unsightly:

   "Leinhardt, you don't really think that we just simply arrive at the designated location this time, and the nearby German submarines will automatically and consciously float up and surrender!"

  As a British nobleman, Reinhardt didn't think that that fool would make a fearless resistance when the government had announced its surrender.

   "Fang, are you still worried about those Germans daring to disobey orders and rebel? The whole of Germany has surrendered, so what's the point of rebelling by themselves!"

   Fang Lang knew that most Germans obeyed the order and chose to raise their hands and surrender. However, there are some exceptions. Although Fang Lang didn't want to encounter such a special case, but the world is impermanent, who can say such things for sure!

   "Please don't ignore a soldier's determination to die for his country."

  Now in Reinhardt's mind, Fang Lang's words are no longer as insignificant as before. No matter whether it is Fang Lang's record in one battle or the relationship between Fang Lang and him, he is not allowed to ignore Fang Lang's words.

  So, after hearing what Fang Lang said, Reinhardt couldn't help but fell into thinking, and soon began to change his thinking, and discussed with Fang Lang about the solution if he encountered an abnormal situation.

  The time soon came to around 5:00 pm on May 8th. The Harry and the House came to the waters about 200 nautical miles away from the United Kingdom towards Norway. Sure enough, under the radar scan, two floating German submarines were found.

  The distance between the two German submarines was not far, and Fang Lang soon heard the communication from the Harry to the two German submarines from the public communication channel.

"Listen to the two German U-boats on the opposite side. This is the destroyer HMS Harry of the Royal Navy of the British Empire. Our ship has been ordered to accept your surrender. Please turn off the engine and ensure that all personnel are disarmed and lined up on the deck, waiting for our ship to inspect. .”

"This is the Fourth Submarine Squadron of the German Third Reich Navy. Submarines U2546 and U554 surrendered to the British Empire Navy in accordance with the order of Admiral Doenitz of the Imperial Navy. Please ensure that all members of our ship receive due punishment. treatment."

  As the distance got closer, Fang Lang quickly noticed that there were two submarines, one large and one small, and there were already a large number of crew members lining up on the submarines, waiting for inspection by the landing fleet.

  According to the tactics discussed by Fang Lang and Reinhardt, the Harry will first receive a submarine to surrender, and the House will be responsible for guarding in the distance.

   I don’t know whether Reinhardt chose to accept the surrender of the smaller submarine intentionally or unintentionally, because, according to the agreement between the two, whoever surrendered the warship belongs to whom.

  According to Reinhardt's approach, Fang Lang will undoubtedly gain a lot. Because, whether it is a surface ship or an underwater ship, the tonnage and combat effectiveness are often directly proportional.

  German submarines must also conform to this rule, although Fang Lang knows that the two submarines in front of him must be German ocean-going submarines, and they belong to the top part of the world.

  However, Reinhardt was able to leave the bigger one to Fang Lang, which made Fang Lang somewhat worried. After all, Fang Lang was able to clearly see the larger submarine from the telescope. Both the number of crew and the tonnage were significantly larger than the one received by Reinhardt.

   What surprised Fang Lang the most was that the streamlined hull of this large submarine was obviously rounder than the other one, which also meant that this submarine was obviously more advanced.

It seems that Fang Lang can't accept Reinhardt's love. Now Fang Lang is more worried about whether he can take this submarine away. From Fang Lang's point of view, this submarine is definitely the most advanced in Germany at present. representative of the submarine.

  If Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union knew that such a German submarine had fallen into the hands of Brazil, the little brother, would they take it away directly?

  However, these are not issues that Fang Lang needs to worry about now. It is the kingly way to get the spoils in your hands first. The big deal is that you don’t go back to the UK after you get it, and you go back to Brazil to pull it down.

  Fang Lang stared closely at the landing operation of the Harry through the telescope. Perhaps he had learned the lesson from the last time. This time, Reinhardt was very careful, first arranging a group of commandos to board the enemy submarine directly.

   After confiscating all the weapons of all personnel, they entered the interior of the submarine to search.

  The entire surrender of Reinhardt went very smoothly this time. It is obvious that these Germans have accepted the fact of surrender and no longer make unnecessary struggles.

   This also made Fang Lang feel relieved. Soon Reinhardt completely controlled the enemy's submarine, and after transporting some personnel to the Harry for custody, he notified Fang Lang that he could start receiving other submarines to surrender, and the Harry was in charge of guarding.

  Fang Lang also moved the House close to the large German submarine with excitement, keeping it side by side with the German submarine, then put down the two transportation boats, and Duarte led the commando to board the ship again.

Through the telescope, Fang Lang could see that after Duarte boarded the enemy submarine, it obviously caused a commotion. Some officers and soldiers on the German submarine did not maintain the same strict military appearance as when the Harry was surrendered, but appeared There was a commotion.

   This made Fang Lang frowned, and directly ordered all the naval guns to aim at the enemy ship. Fortunately, Duarte fired a shot at the sky in time to stop the riot.

   Then, Duarte handcuffed several of them before transporting some of the crew on the submarine to the House in batches.

   Following the report of the soldiers who brought back the captives, Fang Lang knew what happened.

It turned out that the crew on the German submarine discovered that the ship was not the British Navy but the Brazilian Navy. Captain Lambros Hodge directly stated that he only agreed to surrender to the British Navy and did not agree to surrender to the little-known Brazilian Navy. The navy surrenders.

   It was Duarte who directly fired shots to suppress them before quieting them down. Duarte was worried that they would hinder the surrender, so he tied them up.

   This made Fang Lang very angry. These German guys surrendered, and they were even picky. The angry Fang Lang directly sank everyone into the sea and brought him down on the charge of refusing to surrender.

   But thinking about knowing the specific information of the submarine from the captain, it is also suppressing the anger. Order de la Torre as the new captain to receive the enemy submarine.

   And he was quietly waiting for the captain of the new submarine to be escorted up. He wanted to meet this proud German. The Germans had already announced their surrender, but they still couldn't see the situation clearly.

   Soon, the captain of the German submarine, Lambros Hodge, was escorted aboard the House.

  What Fang Lang didn't know was that the submarine with the boat number U2546 belonged to the latest German U21 submarine. It was a new submarine that was officially launched in May 1944.

  A total of 119 submarines of this type were built, and 106 were destroyed, most of which were destroyed on the berth. So, in fact, only 13 ships remained. From this we can see how precious this submarine is.

   It is the embryonic form of modern submarines. After World War II, the world's first drop-shaped submarine and the first nuclear submarine were largely influenced by it.

  Although Fang Lang still doesn't know the specific situation of this submarine, this does not prevent Fang Lang from paying attention to the captain of the latest German submarine.

   After all, there are no submarines in Brazil now. Although Fang Lang arranged for de la Torre to receive the submarine, he believed that with the cooperation of the crew of the original submarine, de la Torre could quickly learn to drive the submarine.

  However, being able to drive a submarine and making the submarine form combat effectiveness are two completely different concepts. This is like the difference between being able to fly a plane and being able to fly a fighter jet.

  If possible, Fang Lang hopes to keep the submarine officer and train the submarine officer for himself. This is a rare German submarine soldier who has experienced actual combat.
