Chapter 337 Difficult Landing

The public speculation about the Manhattan Plan even began before the plan. Therefore, after the outbreak of World War II in 1939, the British General Military Government stopped publishing and discussing the nuclear research program by all public media, and asked the National Academy of Sciences and other media to reject the previously published discussions on atomic theory and nuclear research, and avoided all articles containing words such as "uranium", "neutron", and "atomic weapons".

The Manhattan plan is huge and there are many participants. The total number of British General soldiers who participated in the plan is as high as 600,000, and the plan is scattered in Tennessee, Ohio, New Mexico and Washington and other places. Such a huge and scattered plan is definitely not enough to rely on measures to restrict the media. The number of participants is so crowded that how the intelligence agencies of Germany and the former Soviet Union returned in vain or were deceived, the British General soldiers also put a lot of effort into it.

First, each participant in the program signed a strict confidentiality agreement, and even locals were told that everything that happened here was prohibited from being spread, and they encouraged each other to remain silent for the country.

The British Allied Forces organized a team of very dedicated confidential personnel. They communicated with each other through code words, from the sheets of data recording and the psychological state of each member of the plan, and monitored and recorded everything in detail, and processed them one by one to ensure that the confidentiality was not leaked. Since many scientists involved in the plan were well-known atomic physicists in the international community, in order to deceive the German intelligence agencies, they even gave each core R&D personnel a code name. Their operations were carefully arranged by the intelligence department and guards were sent to escort them at any time, so as to hide their clues in the action.

The plan's confidentiality was so rigorous that even the ally Britain had to be wary of, and some even said that even the workers never knew what they were making in this huge factory covering several square miles. They knew only that a small amount was extracted from a large amount of uranium ore.

In December 1940, the former Soviet Union learned through the military investigator Kremel, the military detective of its military officer secretary in the UK, through recruiting British nuclear physicists that the UK was conducting a large number of atomic energy military applications. It was found through the investigation that the British General Army was likely to be conducting the same research, and that such research was extremely sensitive.

The Soviet military reconnaissance department obtained the content of secret talks between British General Officer Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Churchill in Quebec, Canada on December 19. The two giants signed a secret agreement to jointly develop the atomic bomb. After evaluation by high-level meetings.

In February 1941, the General Staff of the Soviet Red Army General Staff used its underground spy, Arthur Adams, who was lurking in the British General Forces, to recruit a British General Forces chemist named Kemp, who provided him with a lot of useful information: 1 The British General Forces had secretly spent 1 billion US dollars on the research and production technology development of uranium; 2 Thousands of engineers and technicians were doing this work.

Hundreds of senior doctors are studying the effects of radioactive radiation on the human body. The University of Chicago and Columbia University, which are engaged in the research, have set up special laboratories, and a special committee of military leaders and scientists to lead the work; the 3-British Generalised Forces are designing airdrop (nuclear) bombs, whose radiation and shock waves generated by the explosion can kill all living things within hundreds of miles.

In March 1941, Adams obtained 2,500 pages of British General Army nuclear program data and nuclear material samples from Kempna, and submitted it to Moscow. The Soviet spies in the British General Army, George Koval, code-named Delmar, successfully entered the British General Army Oak Ridge Nuclear Center and worked in one of the research rooms. He obtained a lot of valuable information and learned about the three enriched uranium projects in Oak Ridge

In 1941, the British Allied Forces also investigated Soviet spies and began to infiltrate the plan. In the same year, a special counterintelligence corps was established to deal with espionage affairs. In 1941, Oppenheimer reported to the captain of the counterintelligence corps Pash to the Berkeley Laboratory Hakon. Morris intends to approach him and asks him to provide intelligence to the Soviet Union.

British nuclear program participant Klaus Fox was also found to have an affair with the Soviet intelligence agency. He confessed to other spies in 1941, which led to the arrest of Harry King, David Greengrass, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, while Soviet spy George Kowal and nuclear physics expert Theodore Hall escaped by chance.

The British Allied Forces and the Soviet Union were strategic weapons that were related to the future and destiny of the country. They were also intrigues, and there was no distinction between allies, but only national interests.

...

The German army annihilated the British Mediterranean Fleet. The route from Sicily to North Africa was basically safe. At this time, Britain still had a fleet in Gibraltar, called the H Fleet. The strength of this fleet was far less than that of the British Mediterranean Fleet. Now even the powerful British Mediterranean Fleet has been annihilated. The H Fleet would never dare to die. Since the H Fleet would not come to send it off, Li Mo would not take the initiative to attack the British H Fleet now. You should know that the air defense firepower of the British Gibraltar Fortress was quite dense. It was not the time when Li Mo went to solve the H Fleet.

Li Mo began to command the German troops to land. France only had a few remaining destroyers and some submarines to establish an anti-submarine protection circle for these transport ships. The German army's defense in Tunisia was getting more and more difficult, and the British Allied Forces attacked Tunisian ports every day. Unfortunately, they really did not have the ability to drive the German army out of the sea.

On the evening of January 16, 1941, Li Mo commanded more than 400 ships to land at the Tunisian port. Of course, the British Allied Forces knew about such a big move, so they immediately dropped the cannons and bombarded the port. Li Mo also fought back desperately. During the whole night of landing, the German army still paid a lot of price. About 3,000 people were killed and there were about fifty tanks falling into the sea. Although the German army paid such a great price, they still landed at the Tunisian port. About 100,000 people landed on that night, while the British Allied Forces tightly surrounded Tunisia, and the number had increased to 500,000.

The short distance is still possible for these 150,000 people to attack the 500,000 British Allied Forces. It is hard to say for a long distance. After all, this little force is too small. Although this little force is not a lot, it is not realistic to drive the 500,000 British Allied Forces out of Tunisia. However, Li Mo still ordered an attack. Li Mo just wanted to drive the British Allied Forces back and expand the encirclement a little so that the British Allied Forces cannons can not directly attack the Tunisian port.

On the morning of the 17th, the German army surrounded by Tunisia launched a full-scale counterattack. Both sides sent a large number of planes to participate in the war. Li Mo did not hesitate to let his ju89 come to join the war with aviation bombs. The planes of both sides fought fiercely and damaged each other. No one could destroy the other's air force in a short period of time.
