Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 519 Welcome Ceremony

Nyasaland's marine police boats have been improving. Almost every newly built marine police boat has improved to varying degrees compared with the previous marine police boat. The "Water Dog" is a A marine police ship that uses radio, so the iconic signal tower is still easy to identify.

It is said that identifying various types of warships is almost the basic ability of a lookout, so the lookouts on the Water Spaniel and the Weissmann almost immediately discovered each other.

The reactions of the lookouts were quite different, and the performance of the two captains was of course more direct.

As soon as Robert Tennyson spotted the Weissman, he ordered the Water Spaniel to advance towards the Weissman at full speed and called the nearby marine police boats for support.

Portman Howty was the first to determine the location, ensuring that the Weissman was located in the waters of Tanganyika, and did not enter the waters of Nyasaland rashly, and then pinned all hopes on the water dog It will not cross the center line of Lake Tanganyika.

According to international practice, Lake Tanganyika is half of Nyasaland and Tanganyika, and the center of the lake is the dividing line between the two waters.

The problem is that there are no remote sensing satellites these days, and there is no goosebumps positioning. The navigator on the Weissman did the math for a long time, but he couldn't figure out how far the Weissman was from the dividing line in the center of Lake Tanganyika. That's all. After a moment of hesitation, the Water Dog passed the side of the Weissman at high speed, and the Weissman was suddenly staggered by the water waves caused by the passing of the Water Dog, and the cockpit suddenly became a mess.

The tonnage of a warship is really important. Even though the difference between 300 tons and 100 tons is only 200 tons, it is not worth mentioning on a dreadnought ship that can easily cost tens of thousands of tons, but on a coast guard ship, the gap is still a bit big.

Nyasaland and Tanganyika are not at war now, so it is impossible for the marine police ships of both sides to use weapons when they encounter each other during patrolling, but the Water Dog passing by the Weissman at such a high speed is enough for Weissman. The Sman was rocked.

"We are the German Navy and we are on a mission. Please leave our waters immediately. You have seriously violated our sovereignty. Otherwise, we will use all means including but not limited to firing to safeguard our rights in accordance with international law— "Martin Joshua, the first mate of the Weissman, used the tin horn to warn the Water Spaniel intermittently, but ignored that he was speaking German. The Nyasaland Marine Police could still speak English, so let's forget about German. Captain Robert Tennyson can understand, and Robert Tennyson can play dumb.

In fact, the distance between the two sides is very close, so there is no need to use a metal horn at all. If you shout hard, the other party will probably be able to hear it.

The Water Dog passed the Weissmann at high speed, then circled in the distance, slowed down and caught up from behind the Weissmann, and moved forward side by side with the Weissmann. The distance between the two sides was at most 60 meters.

At this distance, a stronger grenade can directly attack the opponent.

Standing in the cockpit of the Weissman, one can clearly see that the 40mm rapid-fire gun installed on the side of the Water Spaniel has been removed from the gun cover. The gunner gave the Weissmann the middle finger in arrogance, and laughed viciously. Although Portman Hotty couldn't hear what the sailors of the Water Dog were shouting, he knew intuitively that it was definitely not Saying "good afternoon".

"S—Nyasaran people are too much, we have to teach them a lesson!" First officer Martin Joshua gave up shouting, which had no effect at all.

Words starting with "S" are German national curses, and the effect is similar to "shit" in English. Although the navies of various countries claim to be gentlemen, in fact, there are many dirty PY transactions, and foul language is everywhere. It can be seen that this does not conform to the personality of a "gentleman" at all.

"How? Just hit them? I can guarantee that the captain of the Water Dog thinks the same way." Portman Hotie is still calm, as long as the Water Dog doesn't break Portman Hoty's bottom line, Bo Terman Hotty wouldn't be sinking his boat.

It is really that the power gap between the two sides is too great. The Nyasaland Marine Police has more than ten marine police ships in the North Sea. Not only will the captain not be punished, but he may also be rewarded, and he will change to a new ship and become the captain.

Tanganyika is not so confident. The Germans only have such a Weissmann on Lake Tanganyika. Terman Hotty had to be like the captain of the Earl of Gotzen, lying on the slipway to repair the ship every day.

In this way, a small North Sea, enlarged to Europe, is almost the situation facing the German Navy now.

After Germany decided to build a dreadnought, Britain decided that for every dreadnought built by Germany, Britain would build two to maintain its absolute advantage over Germany.

Therefore, the German navy is now dubbed the "existing fleet". Facing the huge pressure of the British navy, the German navy basically dare not leave the port. The lunatic William II has the money to build warships. more meaningful.

In fact, there is also a voice in the UK now that the British navy is collaborating with the German navy to defraud the two governments of military expenditures.

Although the British Navy and the German Navy will definitely not admit it, they are very suspicious!

Robert Tennyson of the Water Dog really hoped that the Germans would take the initiative to bump into them, so that the Water Dog would become famous in one battle, and Robert Tennyson would also become the hero of the Nyasaland Water Police.

It is really five or sixty meters. For a warship, the distance is too close. At this time, even if the helmsman's hand trembles a little, the result will develop in an unpredictable direction.

This is also a huge test for the helmsmen of both sides. The Weissmann is at the helm of the boatswain Ronald Gaskell, and the water dog is at the helm of the first mate Jiang Shan himself.

"Speed ​​up, overtake the Weissmann, and then press against the Weissmann--" Robert Tennyson would definitely not let go of the opportunity to teach the Germans a lesson.

Speaking of which, Britain and Germany are also feuds. When serving in the British Navy, Robert Tennyson never had the opportunity to teach the Germans this way. Instead, when he arrived in Nyasaland, Robert Tennyson could act more recklessly. The feeling of being freewheeling almost made Robert Tennyson want to sing.

"Yes, captain, the current speed is 25 knots, and I am slowly increasing the speed to 26 knots—" Jiang Shan is going all out, it is really a rare opportunity, this time the mission is lucky to hit the Weissman, and the next time it will not I know I have to wait until the Year of the Monkey.

Considering the number of marine police ships of the Nyasaland Marine Police in the North Sea, this chance is actually not much bigger than buying a lottery.

The 45-ton Water Spaniel is 19 meters long, and the [-]-ton Weissmann is only [-] meters long. In terms of volume alone, the Water Spaniel is almost a lot longer than the Weissmann. Going hand in hand on the sea is really similar to an adult leading a child.

At this time, if the adults want to bully the child, the child will cry every day and not respond, and the ground will not work.

The Water Dog was quietly gaining speed, and Portman Hotty felt it immediately.

Able to serve as the captain of the Weissman—the captain, Portman Hoty is also a senior naval expert, so of course he understands what the Water Dog is about.

However, the Weissman's coping methods are limited. The Weissmann, which still uses a steam engine, cannot compete with the Water Dog, which uses a diesel engine. In terms of tonnage, there is a huge gap between [-] tons and [-] tons, which is not at all the same level.

Even with courage, the sailors of the Weissmann, whose morale was low and facing despair, were no match for the water hounds with high morale and dominance.

It has to be said that the Nyasaland Marine Police, which was born out of the British Navy, still has an advantage in the face of the newly established German Navy. The "Hundred Years Navy" is really right. It was winning the Franco-Prussian War, so Germany is now in the limelight.

But in the field of the navy, Germany still has a long way to go. The navy really doesn't have to build a huge fleet to have a strong combat effectiveness.

"Captain, the Water Spaniel is coming over—" First Officer Martin Joshua was sweating profusely, and almost everyone in the cockpit focused on Portman Hotie.

"Keep the course, keep the speed, and return to your posts, everyone, even at the last moment, please maintain the honor due to the soldiers!" Portman Hotie expressed a firm expression, betting that the Water Dog would not dare to go too far.

Then Portman Hoty shouted directly to the Water Dog: "Water Dog, I am Portman Hoty, the captain of the Weissman, you have invaded our waters now, please stop your illegal actions immediately!" Behavior, withdraw from our waters, or we will use all means to safeguard our interests—"

The content of Portman Hotie's shout was similar to that of first officer Martin Joshua just now, but the decisiveness in the tone was beyond doubt.

The pressure now shifted to the Water Dog.

It is impossible to collide. The Water Spaniel is aggressive. In fact, it is bullying the Weissmann by virtue of its size.

So when the distance between the Water Dog and the Weissman was less than 20 meters, the Water Dog finally took the initiative to stop provocative behavior, and then Portman Hoty ordered the Weissman very aggressively at this time Quietly adjust the direction and keep a distance of more than 50 meters from the water dog.

"Hello, Mr. Portman Hotie, I am Robert Tennyson, Captain of the Water Dog, welcome to the North Sea, I wish you a happy mood—" Robert Tennyson also addressed Portman Hotey Dee shouted, and the Water Spaniel sped away, eventually disappearing from the Weissman's sight.

This welcome ceremony is really special.
