From BDU to all IX UBoats - orders to make for N.Korea immediately

[Paul Riley]

From BDU-
To all IX long range UBoats-

After the recent alarming news of N.Korea carrying out illegal nuclear testing using short range BMs in the area all IX long range UBoats are ordered to immediately make preparations for N.Korea.Orders are to immediately blockade the area and use aggressive force on any N.Korean,Chinese and Russian shipping,with warships being a high priority,that may be transiting the area.Our involvement must be made in order to support our loyal allies the Japanese who for a long time have strove to maintain order and control in the region.

For those already out at sea orders are to return to the nearest axis port immediately and resupply with fuel and provisions.A large contingent of Milk Cows have been deployed to further support those already in far out sectors.

Our fight against the evil communists will prevail!

Good luck.
Strength and honour!

Even though this could have never happened during WWII its still interesting to pretend it could have,and implement it in our game

The good thing is that there are Chinese and Russian shipping to shoot at, because it would be frustrating trying to torpedo NK PT-missile boats !!

Hold that thought for a moment

Well, "immediately" is a relative term for my Type IXD2. It took me almost 45 days to even reach the Cape of Good Hope from Lorient!

Cheers,

Good luck ! and dont forget,use all means at your disposal with the utmost attention to aggression and ruthlesness!

Can I just ask,who the hell IS this Bernard character? :rotfl:

Can I just ask,who the hell IS this Bernard character? :rotfl:

Probably the most asked question on this forum.

Bernard is the crewman that we all seem to have in our boats that we blame when we do something stupid , like run into the pier at Wilhelmshaven coming home from patrol at high TC, accidentally launching a torpedo at nothing, ordering hard port and nothing happens and you don't realize it as the mad destroyer is bearing down on you with a bone in her teeth, etc., etc., etc.

He's usually hides out in Balz's boat as a bunch of farting bananas.

[Paul Riley]

Riiiiiight ,I see now,the scapegoat everyone likes to ridicule?

I had better keep an eye out for him then.If thats the case I have had a few problems with Bernard pressing the fire button accidentally in the past.I think he has a nervous twitch the poor sod.Better watch that coffee supply on my current mission,cant have him all pumped with caffeine walking like a chicken up and down the boat wherever he goes!

I had the biggest, BIGGEST, "OH #$%&" moment this morning.

While getting coffee, I flipped over to the news. At that second the ALERT "North Korea has launched missles" came up. At that very moment when my mind registerd missle launch, the power went out.

"Oh My God, This is the End OF Everything" was my first thought.

Then The lights came back on.

If that could have been set up any better it would go down as best prank ever.

Well......

It was in the area now known as North Korea where the Japanese had their nuclear weapon program.

Japan's Secret War: Japan's Race Against Time to Build Its Own Atomic Bomb
by Robert K. Wilcox is a most interesting read. He makes a surprising claim which has been difficult to refute.

If you ever wondered why, when Russia declared war on Japan, the Russians bypassed many military targets and made a bee-line for Hungnam....

[Paul Riley]

Actually...I DID see a documentary a while ago on the Military Channel (part of History Channel on Sky) about a nuclear project going on in Japan.If I remember rightly towards the very end of the war or maybe even after it I cant remember,a German UBoat carrying secret documents,materials and a small number of high ranking Japanese scientists set sail from Germany to Japan.Suffice to say they never made it,and I think the allies captured an amount of Plutonium,and hard water harvested in Norway,and I think there were a number of vials of mercury salvaged too.
The Japanese plan was to send balloons across the Pacific with a rudimentary nuclear payload attached,and...good night N.York and Washington.
Then shortly after the Americans did the reverse and nuked Japan.

Ahh,the controversies of history
