Chapter 809: Taking a Submarine

The O-class submarine is a submarine with a displacement of 2,000 tons. In this era, it is also considered a large ocean-going submarine.

However, the space inside is still quite small, and the rich smell of diesel in the submarine makes people feel the urge to vomit.

The Odin is the latest O-class submarine in service, and is in its best condition. Now, this submarine is carrying out its most important mission.

Captain Colonel Hurd, a bearded man, was nervously directing his submarine.

Suddenly, the sound of climbing a ladder came from below, and a chubby man climbed up from below.

"Prime Minister." Hurd saluted immediately.

"Well, I'll just come up and take a look," Churchill said: "How about it, is the route safe?"

It was just an illusion to sail on a cruise ship in the United States. Of course Churchill knew that there were many German spies in Liverpool, so he asked the royal family to appear on the dock, but he quietly came down with the workers who were carrying the goods.

Taking a cruise ship in the United States is definitely not a good idea. If the Germans knew that there was George VI in the cruise ship, they might take risks, and the king would never have any trouble.

If George VI is gone, Churchill will definitely not be able to bear the banner.

Although we left the country, Britain has not lost yet! The United States will not watch Germany unify Europe, so the United States will definitely provide strong support to its own side and help it win the war.

At the same time, after Edward VIII came to power, India's and Canada's agreements were all invalidated. How could the United States watch this happen?

The premise is that you must live!

At the same time, there are no traitors who are betrayed within one's own side. Therefore, Churchill did not notify too many people, only his most trusted subordinates took members of the royal family to board the submarine.

"Safety, as long as we pass the Strait of Gibraltar, it will be completely safe." Hurd said: "Now, turn off the engine and let us float down the current into the Mediterranean!"

Mediterranean!

Even Cialek guessed wrongly, thinking that the royal family would go to, Canada and the United States first, no one expected that Churchill would take the risk and did not take this channel, but went to the Mediterranean!

When Gibraltar was occupied by Spain, it became Germany's territory. Germany controlled the Gibraltar route. If Britain wanted to support the Middle East, it could only go around in a circle to Africa.

And now, they venture through Gibraltar, which seems dangerous, is actually safer.

Especially now, they turned off the engine and drifted into the Mediterranean along the ocean current, making it safer.

"Be careful, keep sailing silently." Hurd continued to issue the order.

Although it is not as advanced as later generations, the current underwater sound listening system has developed. If the submarine makes too many sounds, it will be easily discovered, and once it is discovered, it will be sunk!

Churchill was also infected by the tension. His hands were kept in his pocket. There was a cigar there, but he couldn't suck it. He could only hold the cigar. He was really addicted, so he put it under his nose and smelled it.

You must not smoke in the submarine.

"I'm really fed up. I don't want to stay here, this dirty, narrow place!" At this moment, a sharp voice came out, and everyone was shocked in an instant.

At this time, Churchill seemed to have become a young man, climbed down the ladder and ran into the cabin in front.

Grandma, don’t make trouble at this time!

In front of the submarine is a torpedo compartment. Although it is dangerous, the space is large after all. Especially after taking on the transportation task, only four or five torpedoes were stored here, and the space was freed up for the king and his family to live in.

This place is also the farthest from the power cabin behind. It has little vibration and low noise, which is quite good.

However, Queen Elizabeth was about to collapse.

She was born into a noble family and lived in the upper class since she was a child. Even in Liverpool, she was surrounded by servants.

But what about now? The heat inside the submarine made her whole body soaked, and the elegant clothes outside were already dirty. The rumbling sound from the engine behind stimulated her eardrums, and she was already on the verge of collapse.

"Queen, please be careful." Churchill walked in with sweat on his head and said, "I have apologized for you here. Now, if you speak out again, we will die."

After Churchill finished speaking, he looked at the little princess beside him, Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor. At this time, the little princess was only ten years old, but she was already more sensible.

Her hands, stroking the queen's hand, tried to calm her down.

"On our heads now, Gibraltar, where the Germans have arranged a large number of underwater sound listening equipment. If you make another sound, we will be discovered and then attacked by deep bombs. We will all be buried in the belly of fish."

Churchill's words calmed down the queen on the verge of collapse. If she went crazy again, everyone would die!

"If you want to vent, please twist my arm." Churchill stretched out his arm, his fat, fleshy arm.

"I'll do it." George VI, who was standing beside him, stretched out his arm. Queen Elizabeth was surprised to find that George VI didn't stutter this time!

"Dear, you're not stuttering?"

"I believe that the power of love is great, and the ambition to restore the country will never be shattered." At this moment, George VI's image became taller.

So, unable to hold back tears, Elizabeth threw herself into George VI's arms and sobbed softly.

Churchill squatted on the ground and hugged the little princess: "Don't be afraid, we will be safe soon."

Stuttering is not hereditary. Compared with his brother, George VI's stuttering is more of an acquired disease. Due to the harshness of his father, George VI lived in fear since he was a child. The more popular saying in later generations was that his father instructed his mentor to correct the indirect consequences caused by his left-handedness.

But now, at the critical moment of survival, George VI found that his brain suddenly became more flexible, and his thinking and speaking were usually expressed clearly!

In fact, Queen Elizabeth is strong. She has a smart, capable and determined will. She gave George VI strong support. Historically, it was Queen Elizabeth who gave George VI strong support behind her back that saved the British royal family.

However, as a woman, she has collapsed, especially now, when the man and woman she hated usurped the throne, she suffered a heavy blow in her heart.

The submarine, under the water, was moving forward slowly like a silent fish.
