After a professional and meticulous examination, the officer with deep eyes reported a result that shocked others; "The 9-centimeter pulse radar is consistent with the radar band equipped by our maritime patrol aircraft."

The non-commissioned officer immediately looked embarrassed and he did it very hard. According to the current instrument data, the result was indeed 9 cm. During the war, the centimeter-wave radars developed and equipped by Britain and the United States were considered to have the best performance. The Germans did not obtain this technology until the late stage of the war. However, the situation at that time could no longer allow them to imitate on a large scale and put them into use. This also made the British and American military feel lucky. You should know that the detection accuracy of the centimeter-wave radar will significantly improve the efficiency of Germany's night fighter jets, and their application in naval ships is also effective.

"It seems that it is our own cruise plane." The handsome officer made a judgment with the flow, but he immediately questioned himself. "Hey? How could our patrol plane fly so far? It's more than a thousand nautical miles away from Scotland!"

The deep-eyed officer frowned; "To be precise, it is one thousand three hundred nautical miles! Counting the distance and orientation of the radar wave source!"

After receiving the instructions, the technical officer quickly used the various data displayed on the instrument to perform measurement calculations. This semi-automatic and semi-manual method was very common before the computer appeared. Through the established formula, he gave a preliminary conclusion without much time; "Within 0 nautical miles, it should be right in front of us!"

The deep-eyed officer did not repeat the calculations. When he heard the number, he hurriedly walked out of the bridge. Following the gangway to the second floor of the bridge, he borrowed a telescope from his colleagues on duty and glanced at it in front of him. There was no shadow of a seabird in his sight, so there was no patrol aircraft. As for the sea surface, it was difficult to observe the subtleties of the telescope at a distance of only six times as far as the telescope was concerned.

When the handsome companion walked up the bridge, the deep-eyed person said to him, "John, I have a very bad premonition."

Although his companion habitually frowned, he tried to comfort him, "But, the war has ended almost a year!"

The former said with sorrow, "The old war has indeed ended, but who can say that the new war is out of reach?"

The latter retorted speechlessly, and for a moment of entanglement, and asked back, "Go to report to the captain?"

The former looked at his close friends and made a difficult decision; "Yes, go now!"

At the same time, on the "Europa", which already belonged to the French, the two officials who came to handle the handover on behalf of the government of the French Republic, Dathier, who was as tall and thin as Charles de Gaulle, and Valmora, who was as fat as Churchill, stood on the upper floor of the deck building in their straight black tuxedo and neat bow tie. From the open terrace, they looked down at the American soldiers basking in the sun with bare butts on the front deck, whispering in a chic French style. They were completely unaware that the huge danger was approaching, but gloating at the disputes arising from the three strongest countries of the United States, the Soviet Union and Britain.

"I heard that they drove German prisoners of war to build an extremely complex defense system in a long area extending from the sea to the Alps and named it the "Truman Line of Defense". Although labor is free and a considerable amount of construction raw materials do not cost money, the large number of weapons placed in the line of defense are not cheap. In terms of scale, its cost is probably equivalent to two Maginot lines of defense!" said the fat man with contempt.

The tall and thin man continued, "Anyway, the Americans are like nouveau riche who gets rich overnight. The treasury is full and there is no place to use money. They won't mind this. We? Just think that this is moving the border defense line forward for France for hundreds of kilometers. With these hundreds of kilometers of buffers, even if the Truman defense line is broken by the Soviet army, the industrial facilities behind the Soviet Union should be flattened by British and American bombers! Besides, they are so afraid of the Soviet ground attack, but the Soviets still have the strength to launch a full-scale offensive? Although they were aggressive during the war and even exterminated the European war with an unprecedented fierce battle in Berlin, the Americans finally underestimated the losses and trauma caused to the Soviet Union during the war. It can be said that most of the men in the Soviet Union's prime generation were killed in battle. It takes many years to restore the age and gender composition of their citizens, just like France after the end of World War I."

The fat but not short French official nodded and praised, "Yes, the Battle of Berlin is an absolutely beautiful political banner. Against the backdrop of the Ardennes strikeback, many American generals were afraid of defeating the Red Group of Nazi Germany. You remember in New York before, at that Saturday's private dinner, what did General Carter of the US Army say? The Soviet army was like a Nordic pirate on land, and could storm a Viking storm that swept across Western Europe at any time. The Western Allies could only hope again on the English Channel and defeat this awesome opponent for a period of time that may be longer than six years. Note that it is an "awe-worthy opponent," which shows that the Americans did not have the confidence to defeat the Soviet Union on land, let alone the British team."

The tall and thin man suddenly became frustrated; "What else can we expect? The Soviets' tough skills in the occupied areas were no less than those of Nazi Germany!"

The fat man smiled; "As you said just now, the Soviets did not have the ability to attack in full swing, and the newly-entered ruler is said to be a wise man who tends to change the long-term isolation of the Soviet Union and strengthens exchanges and cooperation with the Western world. The problem now is that both sides are catching each other's sensitive parts and not stolen American atomic bombs. The Soviets' collar pomelo was assassinated. Everyone thinks that the other party is doing bad things. What is the real situation?"

The two stood here alone and chatted for a long time until the French crew in blue tops and white pants came hurriedly; "Gentlemen, the captain, please go to the cockpit! The British Navy sent a signal to us, wanting us to adjust our course and bypass this sea area."

"Bypass this sea area? Have we deviated from the normal route?" asked the tall and thin man.

Now on this giant cruise ship, most of the crew members are still the American crew members who have been in charge of controlling and maintaining it for more than half a year. The Frenchman only brought more than 30 crew members to get familiar with the situation. The French crew member in front of him was one of them. He replied, "No, we are completely on a normal route, but the British Navy has no explanation, and the captain is trying to communicate with them."

"What the hell are the British?" The tall and thin man muttered very dissatisfiedly. He looked at him with his companion, "Let's go! Go to the cockpit and take a look!"

By the time the two French government officials arrived at the cockpit where the giant cruise facilities were not very good, the French captain and the American navigator were arguing fiercely that because they were not very proficient in each other's language, their argument felt somewhat like they were talking to each other.

"Gentlemen! Gentlemen! What happened here? Is World War III going to break out?" The fat French official shouted. The term "World War III" quoted the hot words in recent American newspapers. The good American press fully utilized their imagination with the current dispute between the United States and the Soviet Union and the chaos in Britain. Some say that the war will break out within the year, some say that the Soviet Union will undergo internal changes and return to the democratic world, and some say that the Red Revolution will sweep the world. Among them, the topic of war is undoubtedly the most eye-catching. The United States has atomic bomb, the world's number one naval and air force, and the strong national strength. The Soviet Union has the advantage of geographical resources, the world's number one army and a tenacious national character. This is like a showdown between two top masters. No matter who wins or loses, it will be a wonderful battle.

The French captain and the American navigator who guided the giant ship to and from Europe and the United States many times - roughly equivalent to the warship navigation officer, looked at each other and immediately stopped the argument. The French captain immediately reported to the two government officials. "The British cruisers sent signals one after another, saying that there was an unsafe situation in the waters ahead. Whether we change the route or not, they will bypass this area, and the subsequent voyage will return to the original route. Mr. Mattson believes that we should follow the advice of the British ship, but I personally firmly disagree. It is very risky to temporarily leave the channel to avoid a 50,000-ton cruise ship. Although there are no icebergs, we are not sure whether there are reefs in the nearby waters. Perhaps ships could pass safely in the past, but the draft of this ship is not comparable to that of ordinary ships."

After listening to the captain's explanation, the tall and thin questioned, "What is an unsafe situation?"

The French captain shrugged his lips and said that he also felt it was inexplicable.

"Since that's the case,..." The tall and thin man said halfway, and the first mate arranged by the United States shouted impolitely. Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and saw that the British light cruiser had begun to adjust his course. The white water waves on the right side of the bow were significantly widened, while the tail of the ship was exactly the opposite.

"This group of arrogant and arrogant British men!" The tall and thin man cursed angrily. Although Britain and France were both in the Allies during the war, and the leadership of Free France lived in Britain for a long time, Britain "prevented" attacks on the French fleet after France surrendered, causing heavy damage to the latter. This account has always left the French uneasy. After the war, the Charles de Gaulle government pursued a relatively independent strategy, and did not maintain close distance like Britain and the United States.

The fat official stood beside him and whispered, "Are we sending a message to Paris or...?"

"After a round, this British cruiser is probably gone! It's a hell!" The tall and thin official looked at the British ship on the sea with hatred. He thought about it with great entanglement and discussed with his colleagues, "Follow the British cruiser! If something goes wrong, so many people here can testify that it was the British who asked us to change the course. At least the biggest responsibility should not be carried by us."
