Iron Germany

Chapter 397: Crazy

Thick smoke billowed from the chimney of the light cruiser Königsberg. 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 minutes later, the speed of the light cruiser 'Konigsberg' increased to over thirty knots. On land, thirty knots might be nothing at all. However, for warships in the ocean, the speed of thirty knots is undoubtedly very fast.

In particular, the target of the light cruiser 'Konigsberg' rushing towards at this moment is the battleship 'Nevada', the flagship of the US fleet. Such a move has even aroused the tension of the US fleet.

"General, the Germans are approaching us fast." A US military staff officer roared in horror.

"What's going on? What do those Germans want to do?" Admiral Fletcher also exclaimed.

"Hell, they probably want to hit us!" said a US military officer.

Admiral Fletcher was taken aback for a moment, and he subconsciously wanted to order the fire to 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 warship 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' completely ignored the warning of the US fleet. At a speed of up to 32 knots, the battleship rushed towards the USS Nevada, the flagship of the US fleet.

"General, the Germans ignore us!"

"Madman! 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 become 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 the 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 collide with us? With the size and speed of the Germans' hull, it is impossible to sink us. However, we can also be severely injured."

"Order other destroyers and cruisers to escort us. If necessary, they can ram German warships." Admiral Fletcher issued an order.

Since the German navy wanted to ram their flagship, they could of course use the same means to fight back.

However, the response of the US fleet was still a little 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 yet completed 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 Raeder laughed heartily. .

"Of course, my dream is to drive a battleship like a speedboat. If one day I can become the navigator of a battleship, that would be great!" Major Hans, the navigator, smiled.

"Hans, I promise, you will definitely have a chance. One day I will become the captain of a battleship, and I will definitely let you be my navigator!" Lieutenant Colonel Erich Raeder said solemnly.

As time passed by, the light cruiser 'Konigsberg' was getting closer and closer to the battleship 'Nevada'. They have successfully 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 valuable combat power. If they are hit hard, this will greatly damage their combat power.

"Very good, pay attention to all posts, we are about to crash into an American warship. Everyone hold on to the handrails, and don't be thrown out." Lieutenant Colonel Erich Raeder ordered.

For a moment, the German naval soldiers on the light cruiser "Konigsberg" all tightly grasped the 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, prepare for collision prevention!" 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 preparation 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" slammed 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, the light cruiser 'Konigsberg' is nothing more than a medium-sized warship with a displacement of only more than 5,000 tons. Hitting a battleship with a displacement 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.
