Another World: Naval Storm

Leo and Dawson took a raft to the submarine U-99, where several officers were waiting to greet them.

"General, welcome to U-99! I am Captain Doyle Dunney!" introduced the leading captain.

"Hello, Captain Denny! Sorry to bother you!"

"No trouble, General, please get in the boat, we will dive in two minutes!" Following Denny's guidance, Leo entered U-99.

Entering the submarine, the narrow corridor was lined with officers and soldiers welcoming him, and the unpleasant smell went straight to his head. Leo knew that the working environment on the submarine was bad, but it still surprised him.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Leo said with emotion.

"For the Drakes, this is nothing! General, your strategy has benefited the submarine force a lot!" Now some people call Leo the father of submarines, although he has never served in a submarine for a day.

"Without your fearless sacrifice, no matter how good the strategy is, it will be a castle in the air!"

Under the order of Captain Denny, the submarine slowly disappeared into the vast ocean. The long voyage almost made Dawson suffer from claustrophobia. Fortunately, the submarine had arrived at Cape Flanders, just a stone's throw away from Drake's homeland.

The sound of the battle alarm immediately made the drowsy Leo alert, and his military qualities allowed him to quickly reach the command cabin.

U-99潜艇的主要武器是4具450㎜的鱼雷发射管，其中2具布置在艇艏，另外2具设在艇艉，全艇只有6枚鱼雷。

In addition, there is an SK L/40 50mm deck gun and a Hotchkiss 37mm machine gun on the deck, but they will not be used until the critical moment.

Warships of the 7th Cruiser Division of the Royal Navy of Talen were also patrolling nearby waters, accompanied by the armored cruisers HMS Abnor, HMS Craig and HMS Huchin, but the destroyers escorting the cruiser squadron were forced to return due to bad weather conditions a while ago.

Compared with the tiny U-99 submarine, these three armored cruisers were huge, with a standard displacement of more than tons and a maximum speed of 3 knots. The secondary gun firepower of the three armored cruisers alone could easily send the U-21 back home.

"Captain, don't fight. The most important thing is to escort the general back to the country!" Dawson's words extinguished the fighting spirit in Denny's eyes.

"I understand. This mission is to escort the general!"

"Ahem, Major Denny, I want to see the combat effectiveness of U-99. I hope you won't let me down!" Leo interrupted them.

"General!..." It would only take one day to reach the mainland, and Dawson didn't want to take any risks.

"It doesn't matter. If there's a chance to weaken the power of the Talens, why not do it!"

Seeing that Leo's expression was not fake, Dunny turned around and encouraged the morale of the crew, "Let's kill the Talens! Let the general see what we can do!"

At 5 o'clock in the morning, the three armored cruisers of Talen were patrolling at a speed of 3 knots, sailing in a battle line, two or three thousand meters apart from each other.

The Royal Navy, which had dominated the sea for a long time, looked around and saw that the ocean had calmed down as the storm passed, and there was no trace of the enemy.

U-99 sneaked close to the three armored cruisers. Under the threat of the frequent activities of Drake submarines, they did not take the anti-submarine Z-shaped route, but drove straight towards U-3.

"General, we are approaching the enemy warships. Should we launch torpedoes?" Denny asked Leo for orders. After all, he could still tell the difference between the big and small kings.

"You are the supreme commander of U-99. I am just your guest. Do what you want!"

At 5:20, the U-99 submarine fired a torpedo at the cruiser Abnor at a distance of 500 meters. The precisely calculated 450mm torpedo blew a large hole in the middle of the port side of the cruiser, causing the engine room to flood and lose power, paralyzing it on the sea surface.

The cruiser Tarun did not realize that they had encountered a submarine, but instead assumed that they had been hit by a floating mine because they had encountered one a while ago. Their negligence caused them to make a big mistake.

Two other cruisers rushed to the Abu Noor to rescue it, but 25 minutes later, the Abu Noor capsized, trapping 527 people inside and eventually perished.

"Float up!" Leo ordered. From his God's perspective, the two Talen cruisers had stopped sailing.

"General?" Dawson and Denny didn't expect Leo to be so bold, but it seemed that Denny liked it very much. Then the sea killer U-99 boldly surfaced.

"It seems that the Taren people don't know of our existence?" Dunny responded to the Taren people's subsequent reaction, but he didn't expect the Taren people to be so weird. They didn't alert first and actually stopped the ship to rescue people, and even threw the naval manual to the back of their minds.

"Then come closer!"

"Okay, General!" Denny liked Leo more and more, but Dawson covered his forehead and remained silent.

U-99 immediately fired two torpedoes at one of the two cruisers, the Huqin, which was stationary on the sea to rescue the sailors who fell into the water. At that time, the two sides were only 2 meters apart.

Although the Huchin, which discovered the Drake submarine, fired at the submarine, the torpedo quickly hit the cruiser at a short distance, and the cruiser capsized and sank in just 10 minutes.

"That was a close call, Captain Denny. We must dive quickly!" Dawson shouted and put his hand on the holster of his pistol. If Captain Denny said no, he would definitely shoot.

"What are you doing? Let go!" Leo held down Dawson's struggling hand.

"General, it was really dangerous just now!" Denny was also frightened. Several shells hit the submarine, and the waves caused the submarine to shake violently. Even if one 47mm secondary gun shell hit the fragile hull of U-99, they would be finished.

The armored cruiser Craig, which was aware of the presence of the Drake submarine nearby, did not weigh anchor and sail to evade the torpedo attack, but stubbornly continued to rescue the distressed sailors at sea.

U-99 could not give up such a good opportunity. It turned 180 degrees and fired two torpedoes from the torpedo tube at the rear at a distance of 900 meters. Then it adjusted the angle and reloaded the remaining torpedo from the front tube, and then fired at the Craig. In the end, the third armored cruiser was also sunk by U-2.

"Good, that's great!" Leo applauded Denny's wonderful performance.

"General, this is all thanks to you!" Denny complimented.

"No, it's you who made the Drake Empire's submarine force famous!" Leo patted Dunny on the shoulder, "I hope you keep up the good work and create more glory!"

"Yes, I will not let you down!" Facts have proved that U-99 is worthy of being the submarine ace. Fourteen days later, Dunney sent the 14-ton Ryder cruiser of the Royal Navy of Tarrant to the bottom of the sea.
