Chapter 616 Georgia (7)

Beria, with a panicked look on his face, hurried into Stalin's office. "Comrade Stalin, the plan to destroy the Baku oil field has failed."

"What?!" Stalin's face, which was not very good to begin with, suddenly became even gloomier. "What happened?!"

Facing Stalin's murderous gaze, Beria wiped the sweat from his face and hurried to report. "I had already placed bombs in the oil field according to your instructions. But they had been prepared and had planted many of their people in the Baku oil field. I was about to give the order to blow up the Baku oil field, and a violent explosion occurred in the command center of the Baku oil field. All the people responsible for the blasting mission were killed or injured."

Stalin asked with gritted teeth. "They? Who do you mean? The Germans?"

Although Beria had not yet found out how the news was leaked, he could not say it was the Germans. He was responsible for intelligence gathering and counterintelligence; if the Germans infiltrated the Baku oil field, which was regarded as the lifeblood of the Soviet Union, and wreaked havoc without his knowledge, I wonder why Stalin would be angry with him. "Preliminary investigation shows that the commander of the 47th Infantry Division is Lomonosov. As a division commander, he can still find out about this kind of thing." Anyway, Lomonosov has already rebelled, so it should be okay to put more accusations on him.

"This damn bastard!" Stalin said panting after a hysterical curse. "So the Baku oil field will fall into the hands of the Germans intact?! No, I will never allow this to happen! Send bombers to bomb the Baku oil field immediately!"

As for the ground forces, because the troops of the North Caucasus Military District cannot move, they can only mobilize troops from the Kiev Military District and the Central Asian Military District to Georgia. By the time these troops arrive, I'm afraid the Germans have already started producing oil.

"Now, immediately!"

The White House of the United States.

Roosevelt has been overwhelmed by the domestic situation recently. The industrial zone in the northeastern United States has not been fully recovered since the last attack, and the losses caused by the bombing almost made the members of Congress collectively vomit blood.

What's even more terrible is the German submarines wandering around the US coastline. These damn submarines have caused more than tons of damage. In the past month, the tonnage of various ships, including passenger ships, that have been sunk has reached an astonishing 300,000 tons.

You should know that the total tonnage of the US Navy stipulated in the Washington Naval Treaty is 50,000. If the tonnage sunk is converted into warships, the United States may not have many warships available.

What's even more depressing is that the Navy has not sunk a single German submarine so far. Those abominable submarines have become ghosts wandering around the US coastline. The Navy's destroyers have detected these terrible weapons more than once, but no one has been able to sink it. This submarine came and went without a trace, treating dozens of destroyers like idiots.

Over time, various versions of rumors have emerged among the people. Many crew members said that this is a ghost submarine and is not afraid of depth charges at all.

As for how this ghost submarine appeared, the statement is even more bizarre. Some people say that this is a German submarine sunk by an American warship in the last World War.

What's funny is that before this, rumors about "ghost submarines" had already spread in Europe and the United States, and the protagonist was a German submarine.

According to legend, the haunted submarine was a submarine called UB-65 developed and produced by Germany during World War I. This is a UBIII submarine.

It is rumored that the submarine is a cursed submarine, and accidents have been happening since its construction! During the construction process, a section of rails fell and hit two workers, causing one death and one injury. There was another internal construction, and three workers were locked in a cabin for no reason. It happened that there was a toxic gas leak, and the three workers were poisoned to death.

From then on, bad luck accompanied this submarine.

When the submarine was built, during the first sea trial, a submarine crew member was swept into the sea by huge waves and could not be found again. In the subsequent diving test, the submarine fell rapidly and almost sank to the bottom of the sea. The crew took great efforts to float the submarine to the surface.

The subsequent trials went smoothly. When the crew thought that the bad luck had gone away, the biggest accident occurred.

When loading and unloading torpedoes after returning to the port, a torpedo exploded, killing 5 crew members. Among them was a lieutenant named Shubaruz.

Just like the lines in horror movies: This is not the end, this is just the beginning!

After the explosion, the UB-65 submarine changed from an unlucky submarine to a terrifying ghost submarine.

The figure of Lieutenant Shubaruz, who was killed in the explosion, often appeared in the submarine. Sometimes the lieutenant was seen when the ship was repaired, and sometimes the lieutenant was found in the cabin. The lieutenant's favorite place to stay was the bow. His ghost would often appear in the front of the boat, silently heading towards the sea, as if navigating the submarine and taking it to the sea of ​​the underworld.

The crew on the ship were panicked, and some people clamored to be transferred out.

But the Navy Headquarters would not believe these rumors, and the UB-65 submarine was still required to go to sea for combat. In such a tense atmosphere, UB-65 still made some gains and did not suffer any fatal attacks.

However, the ghost of Lieutenant Shubaruz who often appeared on the bow still made people shudder.

After a return voyage, the captain and the crew finally got down to earth and no longer had to see the lieutenant's ghost. Unexpectedly, enemy planes attacked and the crew scattered and hid. The bomb did not hit the submarine, but destroyed a building. The flying debris actually hit the captain and killed him.

The captain's death made the crew even more scared. The German Navy finally recognized the ghost and sent a priest to perform an exorcism. A large number of crew members were transferred and replaced with new crew members who knew nothing.

However, the exorcism ceremony and the new crew could not prevent the appearance of Lieutenant Shubaruz's ghost. If the old crew had been through life and death with the lieutenant, they could still bear it. The new crew was so scared when they saw the ghost for the first time.

Before the last voyage, a crew member was hospitalized due to illness. His colleagues came to see him and handed him his suicide note, saying that they had a premonition that something would happen during this voyage and explained their affairs first. The sick crew member also understood this.

After going out to sea, the UB-65 submarine soon lost contact with the headquarters. In the end, it never returned to the port. The German Navy treated it as missing.

As an enemy, the United States recorded the last moments of the UB-65 submarine. According to a report from a US L2 submarine patrolling near the Irish Sea, they found a German submarine at periscope depth, which may have been floating on the water due to a malfunction. There was a figure standing on the bow. When the Americans were ready for a torpedo attack, the submarine suddenly exploded!

The Americans confirmed that they had no attack and no attacks from other sides. And the submarine that exploded by itself is believed to be UB-65.

Although this is just a widely circulated legend, or more accurately a novel story; but now many people believe that the German submarine that ravaged the US coastline is UB-65. Some people even swore that they saw a vague figure standing on the sea in the distance during the voyage, and soon after, nearby ships were attacked and sunk.

Such rumors are spreading everywhere, and rumors spread to every corner at the fastest speed like gossip, making people panic.

Although the government came out to clarify that it was just a more advanced submarine of the Germans, everyone would rather believe the weird and messy statements than the ordinary answers given by the government.

In the past few months, the number of ships on the northeastern route of the United States has decreased by 20%. (Tomorrow, the "Poseidon" will pass through our city again, and there may be a power outage and I can't update it. I apologize in advance)
