The White Eagle Government immediately made a request to the military that it was necessary to ensure the transfer of materials from the Red Union, even if it was evenly distributed to the Sar Empire and sent it to the Red Union. In addition, the White Eagle Government called the Sar Empire and asked it to dispatch cargo ships and navy to help transport materials to the Red Union.

The government of the Sar Empire is also very clear that one more ally now has more hope. Moreover, the army of the Sar Empire has collapsed, and the reason why it can block the Teutonic Air Force's waves of air strikes is due to the White Eagle Kingdom. For such a dependence, it is necessary to comply with some requirements.

Soon a transport fleet consisting of more than 30 merchant ships and a cruiser fleet was formed by the Saar Empire. After communication with the Red Union, the fleet decided to set off from the Port of Nottingham, cross the northern storm ocean and the Arctic Ocean, pass through the northern waters of the Scandinavian Peninsula, and detour more than a thousand nautical miles to Murmansk, the northern port of the Red Union.

This is an extremely dangerous route and the only route that can be contacted with the Red United Nations. The Arctic Ocean route is not open to navigation throughout the year. It takes nearly six months every year because the ice cap is too thick to pass through. It is now April 1941, and the route can barely meet the standards of navigation, but to be on the safe side, the fleet still brought an icebreaker, the Haysville.

When Major General McClass led his cruiser fleet to cover the fleet to sail north, he did not know that the secret codes of the White Eagle Kingdom and the Red Union had been deciphered and his departure was exposed. After receiving this news, the General Staff of the Hualan Kingdom immediately transferred the information to the Teutonic Kingdom and asked it to intercept the fleet.

Now the Teutonic Kingdom, Saar and the White Eagle are fighting in full swing, and it is natural to deal with a transport fleet. Soon the Saar Empire sent submarines and aircraft stationed in Norway to search for the targets of the fleet in nearby waters.

The current commander of the Hualan Navy, General Liu, believed that the weather in the Arctic Ocean in April was very bad and the sea conditions were very bad. With the performance of the Teutonic submarines and aircraft, it was difficult to find the transport fleet and launch an attack under such circumstances, so the Hualan Navy should send troops to support.

It is almost impossible to get the Hualan Navy to send troops. Although the Hualan Navy secretly formed a small fleet in Morocco, this small fleet consisting of four cruisers and twelve destroyers is not as powerful as the other party's escort fleet. Even if it is dispatched, it will be difficult to eliminate the enemy, and it will instead expose its position.

There is still a big problem with this fleet. They are far south of the New World and it will take a week to travel to the north of the Saar Empire at full speed, while the other fleet has set sail and cannot catch up with it. Although the air force stationed in Morocco has a certain strength, it cannot find a front-line airport for utilization, unless Hualan Kingdom now gives up neutrality and cooperates with the Axis powers to declare war on the White Eagle Kingdom.

When the Hualan Army felt that the whip was beyond reach, Deputy Commander Xiao Jinguang proposed a plan that shocked everyone and sent nuclear submarines to fight.

Although no new nuclear submarine was built, the Pioneer 1 nuclear submarine has undergone a docking modification. In addition to improving some unreasonable designs, the most important thing is to install six 533mm torpedo launchers at the bow of the boat, equipped with up to fifty-two various torpedoes.

Lieutenant General Xiao Jinguang's plan is very simple. He asked the nuclear submarines that were being tried in the waters near Hokkaido to Sapporo Port to receive material supplies, and then crossed the Bering Strait and passed through the middle of the Arctic Ocean to directly attack Murmansk Port. No one walked through this route, and the hydrological conditions required re-mapping. What's even more terrifying is that the nuclear submarine must sail more than 3,000 nautical miles under the ice sheet.

This is an unprecedented feat and an extremely dangerous task, but after the arguments of experts, this operation can be completed. For this combat operation, the submarine commander General Chen Tao and Deputy Commander Lieutenant General ** expressed their willingness to take charge of the order in person, and even Xiao Jinguang, who proposed this combat operation plan, expressed his willingness to go.

After some discussion among the Navy's bosses, the commander-in-chief of the Navy Liu Chuanshou finally decided to let Lieutenant General ** take charge and select Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Jin, the best submarine force, as the executive captain of the operation.

Pioneer 1 did not really enter Sapporo Port for supply, because there was no special submarine supply base there. If Pioneer 1 was allowed to enter rashly, it would be easy to expose the target. In fact, in order to cooperate with the training of this submarine with the largest tonnage in the world, the only 10,000-ton submarine ship of Hualan State, Shi Lang, was on standby at Sapporo Port. After receiving the mission, Shi Lang immediately loaded a large amount of supplies and set sail towards the scheduled rendezvous location.

Because Pioneer One had been wandering on the sea for more than half a month, although the fuel was not needed and the ammunition was still complete, there was not much food. After replenishing a large amount of food, Pioneer One bid farewell to Shi Lang and slowly dived into the cold sea. From now on, they will carry out an unprecedented raid.

The notice message taken from the Saar Empire was taken on March 27, and the fleet chose to set sail on April 3, which was full of clouds, to avoid reconnaissance by the Teutonic Air Force. However, they did not know that as early as March 29, Pioneer One had finished supply and began to dive.

The hydrological maps near the Bering Strait have been surveyed and mapped within half a month. This is also the only area with hydrological maps on Pioneer One's journey. Therefore, the General of the ** orders the submarine to advance at full speed and pass through the Bering Strait at a speed of 20 knots and head towards the Arctic Ocean.

Life in submarines is boring. More than 70 officers and soldiers are crowded in a small space, and the smell will be very bad, and people will also change to claustrophobia. However, the life of a nuclear submarine is slightly better, because when it is diving underwater, it can still use special ventilation devices to remove the odor in the boat. The oxygen generator is also continuously ionizing the sea water to create oxygen for the boat, so that crews do not have to stay still as much as possible in order to save oxygen.

Conventional submarines are diving underwater. In order to save the battery power as much as possible, most of the lights will be turned off and only a few dim lights are retained for use in the operation cabin to view the instrument. However, nuclear submarines have a steady stream of energy, which is enough to make them light. Soldiers can even use cassette tape recorders to carry the submarine to listen to the tapes, or read the books they bring.
