Chapter 1373 A Submarine

Xiao Peng sat in the offline room of 'Luna', staring at the screen in front of him without saying a word.

A group of people gathered in the room, all huddled behind Xiao Peng, staring at the screen with bated breath.

"A-choo!" Kasim suddenly sneezed, breaking the silence in the room!

The sneeze startled everyone and they all glared at Kasim.

Kasim scratched his head sheepishly: "Sorry, sorry, I couldn't help it! I have a bad cold."

Khedira and Kassin had a better relationship. He patted Khedira on the shoulder and said, "God bless you."

Westerners have a custom of saying "God bless you" to someone with a cold. This saying stems from the Black Death in the Middle Ages, when sneezing was considered a sign of plague, and death was considered a will of God. So, whenever someone sneezed, those around them would say, "God bless you," hoping that through prayer, God would have mercy on the patient and protect them from the plague. This tradition has become a well-established tradition today.

At this time, Xiao Peng said, "Even if God comes, he can't be saved now! Beat him up!"

Everyone looked at Xiao Peng, and they immediately found out the reason why Xiao Peng was cursing: there was a sticky mass on his head, which was Kasim's snot.

Everyone quickly handed Xiao Peng tissues, but Xiao Peng said, "I'm going to take a shower. Beat him up for me. Don't stop until I come back!"

Hua Chong said, "Boss, aren't you going to keep an eye on it? Now is the most critical moment!"

Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "I'm confident in your ability to work now. Just remember: this matter is to be kept strictly confidential. Also, you are not allowed to save any videos!"

"Don't save the video?" Hua Chong was stunned after hearing this. He pointed in one direction, thought for a moment, and then pointed in another. After thinking about it, he still didn't think it was right, so he simply pointed upwards: "Didn't they say anything about this over there?"

"It's okay." Xiao Peng said directly: "I won't deduct a single cent from you, but just shut up!"

"Yes!" everyone said in unison.

Xiao Peng stood up: "Don't just stand there, beat up Kasin!"

"Yes!" This time everyone except Kasim said in unison.

When Xiao Peng finished his shower and returned to the room, he saw Kasim sitting in the corner with disheveled hair and a bruised face, while the others looked relaxed.

Xiao Peng was stunned: "Damn, you guys really want to beat me up?"

Chen Cheng gave a thumbs-up: "Of course, we follow the boss's orders!"

Hua Chong grinned and said, "You never have to pick a day to beat Ka Xin!"

Xiao Peng helped Ka Xin up from the ground: "You guys are going too far, I just... Damn it!" He didn't finish his words before he cursed: "Where did you get the eye shadow? This makeup is really good! Where did you get the cosmetics?"

It turns out that Kasim's bruised face was not caused by beatings but was painted on.

Kasim smiled awkwardly and said, "This is Miss Anna's cosmetics."

Hua Chong said, "Boss, although we don't need to pick a day to beat Kasim, we do need to pick a reason, right?"

Kasimbi threw out his fist: "Let's go for a practice match?"

"Who's afraid of who?" Hua Chong shouted.

Chen Cheng interrupted them and said, "You two, calm down! Now we have to get down to business!"

After hearing this, Xiao Peng asked, "Hmm? How is the situation being handled?"

Chen Cheng said, "Boss, the can has been opened. The mini ROV is in place and waiting for you!"

Xiao Peng said helplessly: "Why are you waiting for me? I told you to do it yourself!"

Hua Chong was surprised and asked, "Boss, you're not surprised by such a big discovery?"

Xiao Peng sighed. "What kind of discovery is this? How many shipwrecks have we found that contained more treasure than this?"

Hua Chong shouted, "This is different! Boss, why don't you keep a video of such a great discovery? This should shock the whole world!"

Xiao Peng shook his head: "If we make it public, we'll be in trouble. Look at those money-hungry Europeans."

Chen Cheng was stunned after hearing this, then laughed. "Indeed, if this thing were released, the sensation it would cause would shock all of Europe. Boss, where did you get the information about this ship?"

"Albrecht." Xiao Peng sat down on a chair and picked up the intercom: "Duan Bo, Xiao Zhou, can you hear me?"

"Sure!" Xiao Zhou's voice came directly from the intercom: "Boss, any instructions?"

Xiao Peng said directly: "Any other instructions? Let's get to work!"

"Hurrah!"

Xiao Peng scratched his head. "What's wrong with you guys? Why are you constantly saying 'Ulla'?"

Duan Bo's voice came from the intercom: "Boss, this is Russian territory after all. It feels out of place if we don't shout 'Ura' a few times."

Xiao Peng said, "In that case, quickly send the mini ROV in to take a look. If we find anything, shout 'Hurrah!'"

"Yes, Boss!" Xiao Zhou said, "I'll operate the mini ROV, and Duan Bo will be responsible for connecting the external ROV to the second camera. Let's get to work!"

Kasin walked over and asked curiously, "Boss, you're looking for this U-boat this time, right? We've spotted quite a few along the way, so why are you focusing on this one?"

On the second monitor, there is a big black thing. It is a German U-BOAT during World War II, also known as a 'U-boat'.

During World War II, German weapons astounded the world. If the Tiger tank was the "King of Land Warfare," then the U-boat was the "King of Underwater." The "wolf pack tactics" of the German submarine fleet during World War II were a terrifying sight for ships from all over the world.

Countless World War II shipwrecks have been recorded in the Atlantic Ocean, most of which were caused by German U-boats. In November 1942 alone, German U-boats sank 118 Allied ships, setting a record for total tonnage sunk in a single month: 743,321 tons!

What does this tonnage mean? It can be understood that they sank about twelve "Liaoning" aircraft carriers in a month.

Throughout World War II, U-boats sank over 3,500 ships! This statistic is truly astonishing!

But to be honest, Germany's U-boats were not very advanced submarines in that era. In terms of technology alone, they were not much different from British submarines. In fact, the combat record of British submarines in World War II was also very impressive.

However, the British Royal Navy did not attach importance to the submarine force. In addition, the German submarine force had advanced tactics and the anti-submarine technology was backward at the time, which led to the U-boat's great reputation.

Xiao Peng pointed at screen number two and asked, "Do you see anything special on the hull of this submarine?"

Kasin stared at the screen for a long time and said, "Why is this submarine covered in rubber? Is it because they're giving it a rubber suit to protect it from freezing on the Arctic seabed?"

Xiao Peng shook his head. "It's called 'Alberich'. It's a high-tech technology invented by Germany at the end of World War II. Sometimes I have to admire the scientists back then. This technology has actually continued to have an impact to this day."
