Chapter 2572 exposure
"God, look at the sea surface, what is that? Why are there white traces appearing?" In the telescope of Second Ensign Toti, he could vaguely see several long white lines appearing on the sea surface. This kind of thing is definitely not a natural phenomenon. After all, who has ever seen a very neat white line line? This is abnormal!
"Captain Hellman, can you see?" Lieutenant Totty woke up the German Navy observer who was resting next to him. This is the ace lookout for the German High Seas Fleet. He once served on the flagship of the High Seas Fleet and later retired due to war injuries. Now, between the Americans offered high salary of at least $500 a month, this guy has come to the distant Pacific Ocean.
"White trail?" Captain Hellman suddenly woke up, and then he immediately ran to the telescope and skillfully adjusted the optical lens.
"It's a battleship! The battleships sailing at high speed! Their speed is at least 18 knots! Immediately send an early warning signal to the headquarters!" In less than a minute, Captain Hellman determined the ship type and speed of the unknown fleet in the distance!
Do you feel like chatting with Chinese Studio? Do you feel like it’s weird? In fact, it’s normal. At night, many warships are found not because of the warship itself, but because of the tails when the ship is sailing! Especially when large warships are sailing at high speed, the tails are even longer than the length of the warship itself. Imagine that under the black night, you stand at a high place and look into the distance, suddenly a white trace of more than 200 meters long appeared on the sea surface, and not one, but a few. How can this be inconspicuous? And this time the Japanese fleet chose to walk close to the coast, so, sorry, the whereabouts of others in the mountain house were discovered by the US military at the first time!
(This is not fabricated by the author. In fact, in the night battle of 2 battles, the fleet controls the speed and reduces the tail. In the Battle of Savo Island in the Battle of Savo Island in the Battle of Mikawa Junyi, Sanchuan ordered the fleet to slow down before taking over the enemy to reduce the tail!)
As for why you can judge the speed and ship type of the fleet, you are really knowledgeable. After all, Captain Helmann has seen it in the war no less than a few hundred times! The trail widths of different battleships are different, and the trail lengths of the trails are also different at different speeds of the same battleship. These are all experiences, and they can only be understood but not expressed in words! Sometimes it is based on feelings!
"Are all ten targets battleships?" asked Ensign Toti.
"At least they are warships of more than 10,000 tons! Just write this way." Heerman said anxiously.
"You should know how much trouble this telegram would cause if it was sent out." Second Lieutenant Totty was still a little suspicious of Helman's statement. He really couldn't have imagined that such a thing would come out tonight!
"I'm responsible." Hellman said anxiously. "As a soldier, you must bear responsibility at critical moments. This is our obligation and glory." Under Hellman's insistence, Lieutenant Totty sent a warning telegram five minutes later. However, this telegram was not for Benson, but for the nearby Sixth Battleship Detachment first and then forwarded to Benson by the commander of the team!
