For the Soviets, transportation of materials mainly relies on railways, but Texy did not connect to the railway. It can be said that Texy mainly provided a temporary stop for ships on the Arctic route.

Although the Soviets were vast, the European part was actually inhabited, and most of the Far East were not suitable for human habitation.

Therefore, the transportation of materials in the Sokolovka base seems to be a difficult problem, such as aviation fuel.

The Soviets were originally not short of oil, but when the oil base was blown up, it became extremely difficult to obtain fuel. Ordinary fighters did not have enough fuel, and even used alcohol instead. As for bombers, the fuel needed was dozens of tons.

Now, a single flight of the B-29 bomber requires more than ten tons of fuel, and the entire fleet now has twenty bombers, which requires two or three hundred tons of fuel. If it is flying five times a month, at least thousands of tons of fuel will be required!

Even if they are strategic bombers, they may have to worry about fuel at this time.

Standing next to the town of Sokolovka, looking at the sea in the distance, the cold sea breeze blew on his face like a knife, Libert's eyes were still filled with sorrow.

"What's wrong? Don't have confidence?" At this moment, the commander of the regiment, Vasselsjego, came over and asked him.

No one likes to stay in this desolate place. There are no bustling cities around, no enthusiastic Russian girls, and there are only aunts in the nearby villages, which makes it difficult to adapt.

But more of it is a worry, and this worry envelops everyone.

The concerns are different. The big ones, can the Soviets last until the end? The small ones, what should I do with fuel?

"Yes, every time we fly, the fuel consumption is huge." Libert said: "Can we stick here for a long time?"

Just as he finished speaking, he saw something strange seemed to appear on the sea in the distance. The sea water was rippling and spreading from the middle to both sides.

A black thing seemed to be emerging from under the sea. Could it be a whale?

When this big guy slowly floated up, Libert finally saw clearly that this was a submarine!

"Look, our fuel is here." Vasserzjego said with a smile: "Let's go, look."

This is a class submarine. The main submarine of the Soviet Navy.

This is a diesel-electric submarine with a full load displacement of more than 1,000 tons. It was jointly designed by the Soviet Union and a Dutch company in March 934. As the parent type, it is a German submarine. From the completion of the design to the beginning of the war, the Soviet Union built a total of twenty-seven ships.

During World War II, the Soviet Navy did not play much role. Now, the Soviet Northern Fleet was blocked at the doorstep and could not get out. The Baltic Fleet and the Black Sea Fleet have been wiped out, leaving only the Pacific Fleet in the Far East, which is almost unscathed, but has lost some in the escort.

The Pacific Fleet in the Far East has 9 submarines of various types, with a total of seven submarines of class. Now, these submarines are all used to do one thing.

transportation.

It was not unexpected to use submarines for transportation. The Soviet Union withdrew the female sniper Lyudmira, using submarines. Germany intercepted Spain's gold and transported it with submarines.

Germany's submarines had large displacement and could transport more, but the Soviet Union was different. This kind of submarine of 1,000 tons had been renovated in front of them, and could only transport 300 tons of aviation fuel at a time.

The Germans used submarines to ambush, causing heavy losses to the Soviet Union and almost all surface transportation was interrupted. At this time, the Soviets actually came up with this method and used submarines to transport supplies!

The seven-class submarines of the Pacific Fleet are all used to transport fuel from Alaska, the United States to Dixi. If they transport twice a month, they can transport 4,000 tons of aviation fuel. Therefore, fuel is no longer a problem for the Sokolovka base!

At this time, the submarines had already floated up, and this place was an absolutely safe area. German submarines could not move near the port. At the same time, even if the Germans discovered that they were transporting submarines, they had no choice. In this era, submarines could only be used to deal with surface ships, and they could not engage in submarine confrontation underwater.

During World War II, the results of submarines sinking submarines were floating. When there was no snorkel, submarines were floating most of the time and would only dive when attacking.

At this time, after a long underwater voyage, the submarine finally arrived at the base. After it surfaced, the hatch opened and a submarine soldier breathed the air outside, indulging.

"I can finally float up. It's so uncomfortable under the water." The sailor breathed greedily, and couldn't help but sigh.

Too uncomfortable.

The secret of the snorkel of German submarines was not hidden for too long. Soviet submarines also began to use snorkels. During their transportation, they were almost always in a state of submersible underwater.

Even if there is a snorkel, it cannot stop the increasingly strong smell.

In the past, there was only the smell of diesel in the submarine, so it was enough to endure it. But now, they transport high-grade aviation gasoline, which evaporates even more severely.

The smell inside is unbearable.

"The route ahead is normal and you are about to arrive at the mooring pier." At this time, the sailor acted as a lookout at the same time. He shouted loudly to the bottom, and at the same time, waving to the people on the shore.

"Welcome." Soon, when we arrived at the dock, Vasselzjego shouted loudly: "You have come too soon."

At this time, the base has not yet replenished any aviation fuel. The arrival of this submarine will immediately have the capital to set off.

"We also want to be faster." At this moment, a bearded captain also came out from below: "When we approach the shore, we have to come up first, breathe the air, and then smoke a cigarette. We are all going to be suffocated."

Libert looked at the submarine leaning against the dock next to the base and had a new understanding of the location selection here. It could transport American reinforcements through sea transportation, or transport mainland equipment through inland rivers. At the same time, there was no need to worry about being discovered by the Germans. The layout here was too clever.
