As soon as the submarine arrived near the Cape of Good Hope, the boat received a telegram for help from a clearly code, but the content was extremely strange. (I will not attack any ship willing to help the survivor of the Laconia. If my boat was not attacked by ships and planes, my boat had rescued 193 people, 4 degrees 52 minutes south latitude, 11 degrees 26 minutes west longitude, and German submarine.)

With this telegram, the captain sat in his position for a long time without moving. He was a little confused about what was going on. The German submarine sent the newspaper did not mark his craft number. The captain of the Laconia had just checked the collection of his ship's targets. This was a large passenger ship, but after the beginning of World War II, it was converted by Britain into an armed transport ship with cannons, mines, anti-aircraft cannons and other weapons. It belonged to a sinking target in Germany. What else did the Germans save him?

After not understanding it, the captain had to order the radio station on the boat to send a message to interrogate the other party's boat number and identity. After the other party answered, the captain realized that it was the German submarine U-156, and the captain was named Haltenstein, and he knew him.

While rushing to the scene, the captain asked No. 156 with telegram what happened. Then he learned that the armed transport ship Laconia had just been sunk by U156, but Captain Stein found a large number of women and children among the calls for help, as well as many Italians' calls for help. This surprised the captain No. 156. Did he hit the wrong target?

Where did so many Italians come from on the British ship? There are many women and children? The captain who realized that he had made a terrible mistake made the submarine come out of the water, and then saw a crowd of people floating and struggling on the water like ants.

There were not many soldiers, most of the sea were civilians, including about hundreds of women, children and elderly people. The number added was no less than 2,000. The stunned captain and crew were all at a loss. After a while, when a crew member came over to ask the captain what to do, Captain Stein squeezed out of his teeth and said: "Save, how much can he save."

In this way, the U156 submarine instantly turned from an attack weapon into a refugee ship. The refugees who fell into the water rushed onto the submarine, but the submarine was only a little bigger. With less than 200 people coming up, they were all filled.

When it was full, it was put outside. At worst, I wouldn't dive anymore. While saving the invading people, Stein asked about the situation in front of him. It turned out that he was not wrong. The other party was the British armed transport ship Laconia. However, when he sank the other party, the Laconia carried 436 British crew members, 268 British passengers, including more than 80 women and children, 1,800 Italian prisoners of war and 160 Polish guards.

He was not wrong, the other party was indeed a target that could be hunted, but facing such a huge number of shipwrecks, Captain Stein couldn't bear to ignore it, so he did his best to rescue the German Navy Headquarters far away in Hamburg and asked for assistance from German Navy Commander Deniz.

Commander Deniz was very hesitant after receiving the telegram because according to the law of war, the Germans could leave these shipwrecks alone, but did they really care? That was nearly 3,000 people, including the elderly, weak, women and children, and the Italian Allied Forces.

After some consideration, Deniz, who dared not be self-dedicated, copied the message to the Head of State. It was really not difficult for the Head of State to communicate in this regard. He quickly replied to Deniz, and he could carry out rescue without affecting the combat and the safety of his own submarines.

After receiving the approval of the head of state, Deniz immediately sent a report to other German submarines near the scene of the incident, asking them to rush to the scene of the incident to help U156 for joint rescue, and also requested the help of the French Vichy government.

However, in the recent French colonies, the ships sent by the ships will take several days to meet with them. During this period, they can only find a way for themselves.

After the order from Deniz was issued, the other two German submarines and an Italian submarine were just nearby and immediately rushed to the U156 position at full speed. However, these three submarines were not enough. Captain Stein had to use clear codes to generate electricity. I will not attack any ship (including the Allies) willing to assist the survivors of the "Laconia". If my boat was not attacked by ships and planes, my boat had rescued 193 people, 4 degrees 52 minutes south latitude, 11 degrees 26 minutes west longitude, and German submarines.

Lei Zhenyun's submarine received this message. Because their submarine was going to perform a secret mission, even Deniz had no right to know the location of the club. Therefore, Deniz did not know that there was such a German submarine nearby. When the captain drove his submarine to meet Stein, he was immediately stunned. How should so many people be rescued?

Should we carry out selective rescue? Those women and children do not count, but the other adult men should ask about their nationality before boarding the boat. If they are Italians, they will be pulled up, if they are British, they will not care, and then they will kick the British who have already boarding the boat?

If you really want to do this, it’s a bit different from human behavior. It’s better to save anyone, just be the one who is the one who is there. From daytime to midnight, the two submarines not only filled the inside and outside of the submarine, but also filled the small lifeboats on the submarine. But with just this kind of rescue, more than 1,000 people were soaked in the water.

All the things that could help people float were thrown into the sea, and those who had no place to be placed were also tried by the submarine soldiers to stay by the boat, or to scatter ropes or float in the water. The two submarines did not dare to move. As long as they moved, those who were leaning against the boat would be thrown away, and they would be dead.

The other three submarines that came to rescue will not arrive here tomorrow morning. As for the French ships that were rushing at full speed, according to normal calculations, it will take four days to arrive. What should I do in these four days? Saving life is one aspect, and there is also food and drink supply. Pulling the boat in the water is a strong physical job. If you don’t give them food and drink, you can’t even hold on for half a day.

Since he caught up, he had to admit his bad luck. Just as the two submarines were trying their best to save people, Lei Zhenyun, who was lying in the captain's room to recuperate, could not lie down. Within one minute, more than 20 people squeezed in his small cabin. Not to mention sitting down, even standing and turning around was a luxury.

That's not all. I don't know which sailor actually stuffed a two-year-old child rescued from the water into Lei Zhenyun's hand. Lei Zhenyun's eyes are now ineffective, so he can do this job.
