Chapter 148 Maritime Transportation

"Woo woo." The train whistled and drove into the station.

There was an unpleasant smell in the tank truck. In the past few days, they had almost circulated the whole of Spain. The downside was that they were almost disbanded these days. The strongest warrior would be exhausted if he held in the tank truck for a few days.

The advantage is that they finally transported the gold from this carriage to the port safely!

Pushing open the door of the tank truck, a fresh sea breeze blew over, and everyone felt much more comfortable.

"Quick, fast, fast!" At this time, Alexander's eyes were covered with blood. In the past few days, he has modified his route many times, and finally, he has sent the gold to the port without any accident.

Now, those German eyeliners may still be waiting for themselves in the southern port, right? Alexander is quite proud, and he is quite calm all the way.

Now, there is only one last thing left, bringing this gold onto the ship!

The train drove directly to the port, and there was still hundreds of meters away from the train parking spaces at the port to the Soviet cargo ship Amur parked on the dock.

Only one last thing left.

Alexander cheered up and knew that he could never relax his vigilance now. Maybe those guys would come here to grab it? Six hundred tons of gold is a number that made countless people crazy.

Moreover, the handling work is very slow.

Standing at the highest point of the dock, Alexander personally supervised the handling, which was the final task.

As long as you move this gold onto the cargo ship, Alexander's mission will be over.

After all, a cargo ship is a country's maritime territory. Without a legitimate reason, no one will intercept a cargo ship.

At the same time, in order to prevent accidents, the Amur cargo ship will never act on its own. The Soviet warship Tashkent-class destroyer has arrived here at the same time. When it returns, it will provide protection along the way.

In fact, the scale of this destroyer is a bit small. If the news of Amur transporting gold is leaked, it may attract more pretenders. However, this destroyer represents the Soviet Union. Attack on this warship means declaring war on the Soviet Union.

All countries will definitely weigh the trade-offs. In the end, they can only watch their warships escort the transport ship away, and they will never dare to take action.

Moreover, only this one will not attract the attention of other countries. If a large number of warships are sent, the British will definitely be alert first.

What I worry most is that Alexander can breathe a sigh of relief as long as he gets on board the ship and leaves the port.

He didn't know that at this time, a few kilometers away from the port, there was already someone observing the roof of a small building.

"We guessed right, the Soviets did unload and load the ship from here." Facing the sea breeze, he carefully observed this side with a telescope, and Reinhardt sat down with a relaxed look on his face.

"Major Reinhart, you are so amazing!" said the assistant worshipfully.

"It's nothing on land. We want to inform Captain Skolzny to come down and see them." Reinhardt said.

Reinhardt was a little regretful. Under various factors, he could not rob the gold on the ground. His mission was to supervise and find all the information from the other party, and the action was handed over to the people led by Skolzny to complete.

I really want to grab the gold with my own hands.

The gold was moved for a whole day. When night fell, the Amur and the Tashkent-class destroyers secretly left the port and set out on their return journey.

The Amur is a cargo ship with a displacement of 1,000 tons. Now, it is loaded with 600 tons of gold. The cargo ship is already very heavy, with a draft and reduced speed.

The two large chimneys on the top kept coming out of black smoke, and the boiler was working at full power. Unfortunately, it could only drive the ship to 12 knots.

Compared with cargo ships, this is already a good speed. Some of the super tankers in later generations can only travel at a speed of 6 knots.

And the Tashkent level on the other side was a little impatient.

The Tashkent class in history was a warship built by the Italians to help the Soviet Union. It was not completed until 37 years later. It is a high-speed ship. During the trial voyage, it once had a high speed of 43.5 knots, which is considered a perfect merit.

Now, Germany has robbed the Italians' contract, or it has nothing to do with the Italians. Cialek's visit successfully took down this ship and built one for the Soviets, which was quite satisfied.

Therefore, the Tashkent class is different from that in history. For example, from the perspective of power, this warship did not use a boiler, but used Germany's latest MAN diesel engine. Although it was only equipped with two, it could also allow the warship to reach a high speed of 30 knots. At the same time, the endurance brought by the diesel engine was greatly improved, exceeding 10,000 nautical miles.

After this warship was equipped with the Soviet Navy, they were very satisfied. If it were not for the subsequent aircraft carrier procurement plan, the Soviet Union planned to allow Germany to provide several more warships of the same type.

Now, on the Tashkent-class destroyer, Captain Nikola stood on the bridge, looking at the night sky in the dark, feeling a little anxious.

"Why is the Amur so slow? Can't they be faster?" Nicholas said.

"We have urged it with lights, but the Amur is a cargo ship after all, and its speed is already very difficult." The first mate Grassi said to him.

"I really don't know what those people in Moscow think." Nikola said: "Why don't you send a clutch?"

There is no need for Nikola to do things on land, but when he arrives at sea, Nikola is the nanny. He must ensure the safety of the Amur. The shorter the time he is at sea, the better. According to the current speed, he has to go for half a month!

Now, the mighty purge that took place in the Soviets has not begun. If another year goes by, Nikolai's words will be enough to kill him.

"Grassi, come on duty." Nicholas finally left the bridge helplessly. He was tired and it was time to go back and rest. The sailing on the sea was destined to be long.

On the lower floor, in the turbine room, the turbine soldiers yawned, drowsy in the noise and vibration.

This place can be said to be the most difficult place on the entire warship, and it is also the only place where there is no need to guarantee the military appearance. For example, the current mechanics are almost wearing only one shorts, and sweat is constantly falling down.
