Chapter 513 Watermelon Contest
In fact, now that they have reached the shore, there are many ways to separate the two, but Soviet engineers used the most direct method, which was to cut off the position where the American submarine was stuck, in exchange for absolute safety for their own side.
There have always been a lot of equipment on the command tower. After being cut like this by the Soviet shipbuilders, they naturally became scrap metal. As for some equipment being lost, it is also very normal.
Now, although the Soviet Union's nuclear submarines have taken a unique path and are the only force that can be in an advantageous position, they still have many defects. For example, in terms of electronic equipment, even if they have obtained the electronic technology of the island countries, there are still many submarine electronic technologies that cannot be overcome. Now, the American submarines have given us a reference, allowing us to disassemble and study them. With the level of Soviet engineers, we can definitely integrate better ones!
"Well, that's right. We suffered heavy losses in this collision. Even if this submarine is built, it can no longer serve. It can only be used as a training boat at most. We are the victims of this accident." Andrei's words aroused smiles from everyone. This time, the Soviets were really the victims.
"What about that American submarine? Have their crew members been properly accommodated by us?" Andre continued to ask.
Beyaznev shook his head. "No, the American crew was quite tough. They stayed in the submarine."
Americans are really stubborn! Andre shook his head, and he admired the Americans' persistence.
A ship is the territory of a country. Although there was a confrontation at sea, the Americans are still maintaining their dignity. They refuse to leave the submarine because they know that once they leave the submarine, the Soviets will come up and thoroughly study their submarine.
This is probably the reason why we cut off the opponent's command tower, because the opponent refused to compromise at all!
Andre looked over and saw several American sailors standing on the submarine, hanging their clothes to dry. It was obvious that the Americans had made long-term plans.
"Hello, how are you guys?" Andre walked over and asked the submarine soldiers here.
The submarine soldier looked at Andre with a look that could definitely kill.
"Would you like to come down and enjoy a good lunch?" Andre put up a parasol and a table underneath. On the other side, a barbecue stove was set up, the fire inside was burning vigorously, and on top, there were smoking barbecue skewers.
After pouring a glass of whiskey, Andre looked at the submarine soldiers opposite him and prepared to enjoy lunch.
"I want to eat too." A submarine soldier swallowed hard as he smelled the aroma of barbecue. His eyes were not fixed on the barbecue skewers, but on the plate of fruit salad on Andre's table, which was used to help digestion after dinner.
Submarine soldiers are the hardest, most tiring and most dangerous type of soldier, especially in the era of nuclear submarines, which have unlimited endurance and can cruise underwater all the time.
So, food is a big problem for the submarine crew. Before the long voyage, the nuclear submarine has been loaded with enough long-distance food. The staple foods include rice, flour, bread, noodles, compressed food, oatmeal, beans, etc. The side dishes include refrigerated fish, meat, dehydrated vegetables, various canned foods, etc. There are also various fresh fruits, dairy products, various beverages and multivitamin products.
In terms of standards, the food for submarine soldiers is even better than that for pilots.
However, because submarines operate underwater for a long time, it is difficult to get fresh food supplies in time. Moreover, since the cold storage on the submarine has limited capacity, it is difficult to preserve a large amount of fresh food. Therefore, the crew can still eat fresh fruits, vegetables and meat in the early stage of going to sea, but in the later stage, they can only rely on canned food to fill their stomachs.
It can be said that when the submarine soldiers go ashore, they feel absolutely at home when they see green things, as this is the color they need most.
And now, the plate of fruit salad on Andre's table held infinite temptation to them.
Andre was keenly aware of the gaze coming from that side. Was the other person looking at him? No, he was looking at his own desk! Andre glanced at the table and immediately called himself stupid. How could he have forgotten this!
Those crew members have long been tired of eating meat, and what they want to eat most now are fresh fruits and vegetables!
Thinking of this, Andre suddenly had an idea.
Inside the USS Groton nuclear submarine, Captain Battier was sitting in a corner of the restaurant, eating a plate of pizza. However, apart from some sauce, there were no fruits on the pizza. There were only a few dehydrated carrots dotted on it.
"Captain, Captain." At this moment, the first mate ran over and shouted to Battier: "Captain, our crew members have all run up there."
Battier looked up and asked the first mate, "What's wrong?"
After the submarine goes out to sea, it is almost dark. Therefore, if there is a chance to surface, almost everyone will line up to go out for fresh air. Now, the submarine is controlled here anyway, there is no need for any combat, and the crew can enter and exit the submarine at any time. This is normal.
Now that the crew members had all gone up there, Battier had nothing to be surprised about. However, the expression on his first mate's face showed that something new had happened.
"You'll know when you go up and take a look," said the first mate.
Battier put down his plate and followed the first mate to the cabin outside. Not far away was the hatch that opened upwards.
When he walked to the cabin door, Battier heard shouting coming from outside. It seemed that some activity was going on outside.
When Battier stuck his head out and looked at the beach in the distance, all of a sudden, thousands of horses ran through his mind. Damn, these Soviets are so hateful!
On the beach outside, a watermelon competition was going on! More than 20 Soviets, divided into two teams, were fighting each other with watermelons. There was a truckload of watermelons! The two teams were simply wasting the watermelons! They used watermelons as weapons and threw them at each other, but many of them were dodged. Then, the watermelons fell to the sand, some rotten, some not. The ones that were not rotten were picked up and thrown again!
Here, the American soldiers were drooling, and almost all of them wanted to go up and participate in the watermelon competition. If they could go up, they would first put their heads on the ground and eat the watermelons to their heart's content!
There was no fruit on the submarine as early as a month ago.
"Hey, American friends, come and play." A man who was having a lot of fun shouted below. His whole body was stained with watermelon juice, but the epaulettes could still be vaguely seen with a shining general flower on them!
