I asked you to escape, but you became a soldier in World War II

Chapter 73 Safe Arrival
When Mendeleev and his men hurriedly arrived, Lin Chen had already regained his composure.

It was hard for him to tell what he thought of Anna.
Frankly speaking, it would be a lie to say that he had no feelings for Anna's friendship, especially since Anna did not take advantage of him being "fainted" to harm him and even tried to stop Yamaguchi. He was more touched.

At that moment, he had actually forgiven her.

"The bomb has been dealt with, as has the Japanese spy." He was obviously speechless when he saw Anna lying in Lin Chen's arms.

He walked over slowly and picked up the black suitcase next to Yamaguchi. In fact, the suitcase was real, and Lin Chen simply didn't have time to get an identical suitcase.

Yamaguchi died with his eyes open. Of course, if he knew in the end that the thing was in his hands and he didn't destroy it in time, wouldn't he be even more ashamed to face that damn Amaterasu?

"What a pity! But you never know which will come first, tomorrow or an accident." Mendeleev could only comfort her in this way, "Let's go, it's all over! We won."

"No, it's not over yet!" Lin Chen gently put Anna down, "There is another Japanese submarine behind us. It will definitely come here, right here! Contact the destroyer behind us to scan this area. We must sink these turtle bastards!"

"Okay, I'll contact you right away." Mendeleev would naturally not be polite to someone who was following them.

In order to lure the Japanese submarine over, Mendeleev also asked the captain to slow down the speed and burn thick smoke at the stern, which from a distance looked like the ship was about to sink.

The Soviet destroyer quickly rushed over and scanned the area repeatedly, and finally successfully captured the signal of the Japanese submarine.

After a tense and exciting depth charge attack, a large dark oil stain appeared on the sea surface, which attracted cheers of "Ura" from the sailors on the destroyer.

However, Lin Chen was not happy at all. Since they were at sea, the bodies of Anna and others could only be buried at sea. Especially as a spy, she could only do it in secret.

Along with some flowers, Anna's body slowly sank into the icy Sea of ​​Okhotsk.

Only Lin Chen and Mendeleev were standing by the side of the ship, watching them leave, and both of them had very serious expressions.

"Lin, maybe this is a relief for her." Mendeleev did not forget to enlighten him.

Lin Chen actually understood that human life is very short. People like Anna, who lived against their will for the sake of their family's survival, only to find out in the end that their family members were no longer alive, would become walking corpses even if they continued to live.

I would rather be a dog in peacetime than a man in troubled times!

After this incident, the rest of the journey went more smoothly. When they entered the vicinity of American territorial waters, Mendeleev reluctantly said goodbye to Lin Chen, as he was going to return home on the Soviet escort ship.

The United States attached great importance to Lin Chen's arrival. Although the Pacific War was in full swing, it still sent a Fletcher-class destroyer to greet him. After Lin Chen successfully boarded the ship, he was immediately placed under strict protection.

On June 1940, 6, the U.S. Navy began to bid for the construction of "Fletcher" class destroyers from shipbuilding companies across the country. Orders for as many as 28 "Fletcher" class destroyers were divided among 119 shipbuilding companies across the country. After the outbreak of the Pacific War, the U.S. government built 11 more ships of the same class, funded by the budget of fiscal year 56. In this way, the total number of "Fletcher" class ships built reached a record 1942!
This type of destroyer can only travel at an economic speed of 12 knots due to the long return distance, but even so, it is still much faster than a passenger ship. After passing a supply station for simple replenishment along the way, the high-speed performance of the ship was fully demonstrated. The speed of up to 30 knots is not even full speed, but as the more than 2000-ton ship cuts through the harsh sea surface of the northeastern Pacific, the violent sea turbulence still makes Lin Chen suffer.

In order not to be looked down upon by the Americans, he ate almost nothing despite the rich naval meals on the ship. He endured the discomfort and managed not to vomit.

Fortunately, when they got near the Gulf of Alaska, the weather improved significantly. After passing Canada, along the west coast of the United States, Lin Chen witnessed the prosperity of the American economy.

These form a sharp contrast with the devastation in other countries and regions during World War II. I have to say, it’s good to stay away from war!
When the warship finally entered the San Francisco Naval Port, the powerful military industrial production capacity of the US military brought a strong visual impact to Lin Chen. More than a dozen mass-produced warships of various types were neatly arranged together, and they did not even have their hull numbers painted on them.

As soon as the navy personnel come to receive it, it will join the Pacific Fleet and fight a desperate battle with the vicious Japanese Combined Fleet.

Seeing the speed of shipbuilding, which was like "making dumplings like dumplings", the defeat of the Japanese army was completely predictable.

At the temporary base of the Third Fleet, Lin Chen met the fleet's deputy commander, Lieutenant General Steve. When he handed over the black leather suitcase, Steve saw the "treasure" in the suitcase and his eyes suddenly lit up.

As a senior naval commander, he knew the value of these things very well.

They are of great significance in improving the equipment level of the US submarine force, including deciphering the German decoding codes.

"Mr. Lin Chen, please stay in San Francisco for a while. The beautiful scenery here will make you linger." General Steve called his adjutant and prepared to ask him to "warmly" entertain Lin Chen.

"Dear General, when can I get my things? I have to go back and report as soon as possible. You know, the Soviet people, together with peace-loving people all over the world, are fighting an arduous and arduous struggle against the powerful German Army." Lin Chen answered neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Please be patient. I need to make some preparations. Please believe in our sincerity. It will only take about two days for me to give you a satisfactory answer." When his adjutant saw Steve asking to see him off, he immediately asked Lin Chen to leave.

Lin Chen was still a little depressed. This was the feeling of being dependent on others. He hoped to go back as soon as possible and help the Soviet Union defeat Germany as soon as possible. Only in this way could the Soviet Union free up its hands to deal with Japan as soon as possible, so that his compatriots at home could be freed from the suffering of war as soon as possible.

But now that the things have been handed over, but nothing has been gained, it’s a bit ridiculous.

"Excuse me, where is the Soviet Embassy? Can you take me there?"

"Of course you can. Would you like to go now or after dinner?" Lin Chen was a guest from afar, so the adjutant naturally had to play the role of host.

"Let's go now. Sorry for the trouble." Lin Chen still hoped to get in touch with Moscow as soon as possible. Only when he knew the next step of work could he feel at ease.

The dead are gone, but the living should know how to cherish the hard-earned peace.
