-    Submarine No. 92 docked at a berth at the Kiel Naval Port, and Captain Hafs and his soldiers couldn't wait to board the land.  He has been running at sea continuously for two months.  Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for such a large submarine to continue operating at sea for such a long time, because no submarine has such a large self-sustaining power.  However, those cow submarines played a key role. They continuously delivered food, fresh water, fuel, weapons, and various spare parts for maintaining the submarine to -92.  At the same time, the almost fierce competition for the first place on the sinking list also made the morale of the sailors on the -92 high.  This allowed them to miraculously continue fighting at sea for two full months.  "However, people are not made of iron after all. Two months of high-intensity combat has made the officers and soldiers on the -92 extremely exhausted.  Moreover, even the iron-clad -92 submarine has begun to have various mechanical problems. If we don't go back, it will definitely not work.  Novel/> After Hafs landed ashore, he completed some formalities and returned home directly.  He and his crew were given half a month's leave before heading out to sea again.  Therefore, they must enjoy this wonderful time.  "Boss, come have a drink with us and find a girl to have fun with." At the gate of the military camp, a sailor shouted to Captain Hafs.  "Ah, you go and play by yourself, I want to go home first." Hafs said with a smile at these sailors.  "That's right, the boss has a wife. Naturally, he has to go home to be with his wife at this time." A sailor shouted with an envious tone.  "Alas, the boss actually gave up the entire forest for a leaf. Ah, lovely barmaid, here comes my brother" Another sailor let out this sour grapes wailing.  "Boss, let's go quickly, don't listen to these rubbish nonsense." Another sailor waved his hand with an indignant look, then turned around and shouted towards the sailors, "Don't think  You guys can go too far with your tricks. Don¡¯t you just want the boss to be driven to the balcony to spend the night? You guys are so heartless. How can I get to know a group of bad guys like you?¡±  Captain Si shook his head and smiled bitterly, but he didn't intend to argue with these guys. If he really wanted to make trouble with these guys, he would be fooled by them.  And if, if she goes back late, Jenny might really be unhappy.  So Captain Hafs ignored these guys and walked directly towards a nearby bus stop.  There is a bus from there to the train station.  Due to the lack of fuel, we can no longer see too many cars on the streets.  Nowadays, almost all the fuel is allocated to the military, so buses can still get some fuel.  However, the number of daily departures has been greatly reduced, which also makes the bus extremely crowded, but this does not pose a big problem to Captain Hafs who is eager to go home The half-month holiday passed quickly  , in a blink of an eye it was time to return to the army. After Hafs kissed his wife goodbye on the train platform, he got on the train.  He quickly found his place on the train, put his luggage away, and sat down in his seat.  Next to him sat a young man, holding a book and reading.  Seeing him sitting next to her, she put down the book and looked at the navy captain's uniform on him.  Then he said to him: "Hello, are you an officer in the Navy?" "Ah, yes." Hafs replied.  "Are you from the submarine force?" the young man asked again.  "Why are you asking these questions?" Hafs suddenly became alert.  "Ah, I'm just curious, because nowadays newspapers and books are all promoting our submarine heroes." The young man explained, "And I was just reading a novel about submarine warfare." In order to avoid being regarded as a spy  , the young man also handed the novel in his hand to Hafs for a look.  "This book is said to be based on Captain Hafs and Captain Elson." The young man added.  Captain Elson is officially the main rival who competes with Hafs on the sinking list. This book is actually based on himself and Captain Elson. This makes Hafs interested. After all, even if  Men also have vanity.  "Ah, can you lend me this book?" Hafs said.  "That's no problem." The young man said, "In fact, I have already read it once, and I have other books to read." During the long journey, reading books is also a good way to pass the time, Hafs  Just started reading that novel.  To be honest, the writing style of this novel is not very good., of course it¡¯s not bad, but the author of this novel obviously has some knowledge about submarines. Although there are still some common sense errors in the article, it is much better than those nonsense newspapers. Well, Hafs  When I was at home, I saw various newspapers that Jenny had collected about his reports. Some of them relied entirely on the reporter's imagination when describing submarine operations.  For example, he wrote about his submarine tracking the British fleet under the sea for three days and three nights.  However, with the speed of the submarine underwater, it was impossible to keep up with the fleet, let alone track the fleet for three days and three nights.  Even more than a hundred years later, only nuclear-powered submarines can have such capabilities.  Of course, newspapers more than a hundred years later will still publicize unreliable news such as the conventional submarine of Nichouji tracking the captain of the surface fleet of the Red Rabbit Kingdom for 1,400 kilometers.  (Because the average speed of the surface fleet is faster than the maximum speed of conventional submarines, and conventional submarines can only travel at their maximum speed for about an hour.) The author of this book obviously knows more about submarine warfare, and writes in many places  It's much more real.  Of course, the author of this book still has a lot of imagination, at least in the eyes of ordinary people, he has a lot of imagination.  This book describes that later on, the British tried their best to build a large number of destroyers and incorporated all merchant ships into escort formations. As a result, submarine operations encountered huge difficulties, and many submarine heroes fought with the escorts.  The formation was killed in the battle, and the exchange ratio began to become unfavorable to Germany.  At this time, Captain Elson proposed a brand new combat plan called "Wolf Pack Tactics."  According to this tactic, submarines no longer fight as lone wolves. They cooperate with each other like a pack of wolves. When a submarine discovers a merchant fleet covered by an escort formation, it no longer immediately attacks alone.  Instead, information such as the location of the merchant fleet and its sailing direction is sent via radio to the submarine combat command center that uniformly directs submarine operations.  The command center used radio to mobilize submarines located in front of the merchant fleet, gather them together, set up an ambush circle in front of the merchant fleet, and then ambush the merchant fleet at night.  In the novel, using collective strength, the wolves continued to defeat the convoy formations and sank more and more merchant ships, making Britain gradually suffocated like a noose around its neck, and the Germans won the final victory.  .  Although there are still many flaws in this description.  For example, the author did not know that the British already had active sonar, which could detect underwater submarines quite accurately.  This technology has also had a great impact on submarine tactics.  However, the basic spirit of his idea is still good. As for active sonar, Hafs felt that when he attacked the British merchant fleet at night, he used the method of surfacing the submarine at night and using it as a torpedo boat.  The tactics used here are particularly suitable for this kind of wolf pack tactics.  "Can you sell me this book? It's very interesting and inspiring to me." Hafs said to the young man.  "Ah? You want this book? Are you a submarine officer? If so, then I will give it to you." The young man replied.  ¡­ Sir Woodgate is attending the launching ceremony of the 100th Sherlock-class merchant ship ordered by the United Kingdom from the United States.  The astonishing construction speed of the Sherlock-class merchant ships makes the British particularly satisfied. Because the Sherlock-class ships continue to be launched, although British merchant ships are still being sunk now, because of the astonishing construction speed of the Sherlock-class ships, in the hands of the British  The number of merchant ships still maintained a balance.  So that this empire will not be in danger of overturning in a short time.  Woodgard also received an award from the British side for his contribution to this matter.  This made Sir Woodgard feel particularly good.  "Sir Woodgaard, Mrs. Woodgaard, it's time to break the champagne." A staff member came over and said to Sir Woodgaard and his wife.  Smashing champagne is an old custom when launching a boat.  After a boat was built, a noble lady would smash a bottle of champagne on the bow, and the boat would slide down the slide into the water.  The most important task of pouring champagne in the launching ceremony of the 100th Sherlock-class cargo ship was given to Mrs. Woodgard. "My dear, let's go over," Sir Woodgard said to his wife.  "Okay, dear." Mrs. Woodgard replied, "It's just that I've never done it before and don't know how to do it." "Ah, Eliza, it's very simple. You just have to use force.  Just throw the bottle over the bow. Don't worry, it doesn't require any skills, everyone can do it well," Sir Woodgard said to his wife.  At this time, under the guidance of the staff, the two people walked to the high platform where the champagne was poured.  A staff member handed a large bottle of champagne to Woodgate.??people.  Mrs. Woodgard raised the bottle of champagne and then glanced at her husband. She saw him smiling at him.  So Mrs. Woodgard tried her best to throw the bottle of champagne towards the bow of the ship
