Chapter 120 The Furious Plan (Two Chapters Integration)

One day in the winter of 1945, the eastern United States.

Amid the ups and downs, a dark submarine floated on the water. The officers wearing grass-yellow ship-shaped military caps and waterproof suits were the first to climb out of the command tower cabin. They calmly picked up their telescopes and watched around. The crew wearing the same military caps and blue sailor uniforms also calmly boarded the deck and raised a bright red flag on the submarine. In the following time, they waited calmly for the diesel engine to charge the battery, without fear of the rumbling sound of the engine alarming nearby ships.

About an hour and a half later, a seaplane with a boat-type fuselage appeared in this airspace. Due to the drizzle on the sea, the vision was not ideal. However, in the middle and late stages of the war, in order to deal with the cunning and bloodthirsty German submarine forces, the Allies installed radar equipment on the anti-submarine aircraft, which significantly improved the efficiency of cruise alerts. Before the officers and soldiers on the submarine discovered the target and made an emergency submersible dive, the crew on the plane had already discovered the other party through the radar wave. Next, the two sides started a time competition, but the winner did not have any substantial prizes. When the seaplane descended with an unstandard dive, all the personnel on the boat had drilled into the cabin, and the submarine dived at full speed. However, the crew seemed to forget to put away the red flag in panic, so that its figure in the wind sucked into the pilot's camera.

One day in the winter of 1945, in Leningrad, the Soviet Union.

The wind and snow in the sky have caused the city rebuilt from the ruins to be covered with a white light. With the efforts of millions of soldiers and civilians, the rubble on the piled streets has been cleaned up. People have made the greatest determination to flatten the collapsed buildings and the broken and damaged buildings. Some have begun to build new buildings on the original site, and some have changed their uses to become parks or schools. Even if most outdoor projects have been slowed down due to the low temperature of ice and snow, the entire city still gives people the impression of being a phoenix-like vibrant life.

In a state-owned bookstore that has been reopening for almost two years, a saleswoman with a headscarf, a sleeved sleeve, and a round cheek reddened by the cold, boredly fiddling with the coal-fired stove. He had to keep warm and be extra careful that the flames ignited the mountains of books around him, and from time to time he looked out the door with a longing look. During the most difficult period in Leningrad, in order to resist the enemy's attack, people unswervingly used their furniture, door panels and their furniture, door panels and their All the objects he could use were removed to build a barricade defense line, but the books were carefully preserved. When there was no air strike, people rescued the wounded from the collapsed ruins, and also properly cleaned and stored the books they could find. The second month after the siege of Leningrad was lifted, the city's power communications had not been fully restored, and schools, bookstores and libraries were re-operated - this sounded like a publicity stunt, but it was an indisputable fact in this country.

Because it wasn't a weekend, the weather was so bad that there were not ten customers in the huge bookstore. As it was noon, two men who looked gentle and gentle in suits and jackets and round-frame glasses came one after another. They should have known each other. They looked polite and greeted each other in cold weather. Then they talked about academic topics that others felt awkward and difficult to understand. While chatting, they walked towards the depths of the bookshelf, as if they were looking for the professional books they needed. In the corner where no one noticed, one of the men took a thick book from the bookshelf and pretended to read it carefully, but with one hand, he quickly and agilely took out a portable dictionary-sized book from his pocket. To be precise, it was a fake book that emptied the inside to place other items.

"This book is good and can represent the highest level in the academic field. It was only printed not long ago. It should be September!" he whispered.

Another man took the book with the same rapid and secretive action, but his eyes were still searching on the bookshelf: "Well, some books are indeed incisive, but some are just fake knowledge of Western capitalism and do not represent the most correct and advanced theories nowadays."

The man in front put the book he had just taken off the bookshelf, then looked through another one, and commented in a straightforward manner: "Here, this book is very good! It will make great progress in academic research!"

"You have to pay attention that some things that seem fancy on the surface do not conform to materialist theory!" The man behind him said in a profound manner, "Those who do not conform to materialist theory are all pseudoscience, and there is no doubt about this! Forget it, I'd better go back to school to think independently! There is no other shore in the ocean of knowledge. Only by learning more and thinking more can you continue to strengthen yourself!"

The man in front of him did not stop him and continued to flip the books on the bookshelf.

The man who collected the book shook his head and left. Before leaving the door, he asked the bookstore salesperson with a dull smile: "When will the next issue of the "Truth" journal arrive?"

The salesperson who was heating with the stove turned his head and smiled affectionately, "It will definitely be here before the New Year."

"Okay, thank you, comrade!"

After saying that, the man walked out of the bookstore with brisk steps.

It was still one day in the winter of 1945 that the US military radio monitoring station set up in Iceland intercepted a suspicious encrypted shortwave code. After decoding and decoding, the content of the telegram was "The weather is good, and the dolphins have set off from the north as planned." After receiving the report, the US Army Command in Europe ordered a maritime cordon between Greenland, Iceland and Britain. Soon after, a Soviet cargo ship was found automatically traveling westward in the Denmark Strait. The US military then tracked and monitored the ship throughout the journey, and monitored an unidentified submarine near it about 300 nautical miles from the east coast of the United States. When the freighter arrived at a Mexican port, US intelligence personnel launched an adventure exploration operation in the dock area, and found several German firearms and matching ammunition in the unloading materials.

The cold winter is still continuing, and the bitter wind and rain in Washington, the White House in the United States.

"Evidence, this is conclusive evidence! Confidential materials provided by the double-faced spy lurking in the Soviet intelligence agency! Everyone, experts have just confirmed that these are two of the technical data of the atomic bomb that we lost in Los Amos, which are the most core technical data for the manufacturing of atomic weapons. If our judgment of the traces of the scene before and the interrogation of the arrested personnel were auxiliary evidence, and the intelligence sent from Ukraine was not enough to determine the facts, then now the truth is revealed, what else can I doubt? "A middle-aged man wearing the uniform of a US Army colonel said loudly without hesitation.

The Secretary of State, who remained calm from beginning to end, said: "I don't want to question the authenticity of these evidences. I just don't understand how the Soviets dared to provoke the Third World War to send armed personnel into the core areas of the United States to seize nuclear weapons. Are they not afraid that we will seize the evidence and publish it, so that the fingers of the whole world will point to them. We may throw atomic bombs into their hinterland out of justice and use the superior navy and air force to fully protect their coastlines. Even if they plunder a group of technical experts led by Dr. Oppenheimer and take away all the technical drawings, it will take at least one to two years to master this technology!"

The Colonel's voice was obviously higher than his military rank: "Sir, one or two years are just an estimate given by our experts. They did not take into account whether the Soviets had conducted this research before the end of the war, nor did they estimate how much nuclear equipment and nuclear raw materials the Soviets had obtained from Germany. I am really worried that the Soviets had used our hesitation to advance their nuclear projects in the past two months, and a considerable amount of enriched uranium may have been extracted. Once they mastered this terrible weapon, it is entirely possible to use it for military operations in the attack on Western Europe. At that time, we have to carefully consider the terrible consequences of being involved in an atomic bomb war on the atomic bomb! If Britain and France cannot withstand the attack, we will be completely expelled from Europe, then Africa, the Mediterranean, Asia and even..."

Truman, who was sitting behind a large desk, suddenly interrupted and asked: "Considering the possibility of a war breaking out in the first half of next year, how many atomic bombs will our arsenal have at that time?"

Regarding this problem, a thin old man wearing glasses and looking restrained stood up from the sofa: "Mr. President, fortunately, our Oak Ridge factory has not suffered much loss and the equipment transfer has not taken much time. If you are optimistic... By the summer tomorrow, we will get the materials needed to make 5 to 6 atomic bombs. If you wait by the second half of the year, this number will probably reach about 20."

Truman spread his hands and said to the colonel: "If our abilities are so, how good can the Soviets be?"

The colonel still reminded with great concern: "If they compete with us with the whole country, it is hard to say how long their first atomic bomb will have to wait."

At this time, Eisenhower, standing diagonally opposite the president's desk, retorted: "It's unlikely that the war has just ended and they are still busy with reconstruction work, and we have also received some news that the Soviet army is spending a lot of effort to study jet and rocket technology, which requires a lot of capital and manpower."

The colonel collected a tone: "The general mentioned this is indeed the information we have received from all sides, and based on the interrogation of some major German generals, we already know that they were indeed confused by our fake actions before Operation Torch and Normandy."

After two minutes of silence on the court, Truman stood up embarrassedly: "A considerable number of our parliamentarians and the people do not want to fight, or even fear war. They sympathize with the heavy losses paid by the Soviets during the resistance to the German invasion. They respect the strong combat effectiveness shown by the Soviets in countering Germany, especially during the Battle of Berlin. They feel that once the war begins, the Soviets' tide of armored troops and low-altitude tactical aircraft will occupy Central and Western Europe within two weeks. We can only retreat to the British Isles again, and there will no longer be the Eastern Front battlefield to restrain most of the enemy's troops. In addition, our most heroic and tenacious allies have changed a moderate leader (Churchill lost the throne of the prime minister in the post-war election), and the French army is still a dry skeleton. All of this makes people feel that we are unable to fight with the Soviets."

Listening to this statement, the American people present, whether they firmly oppose the military force against the Soviet Union, or feel that they should further put pressure on the Soviet Union or even threaten them with nuclear weapons, were embarrassed and embarrassed. They wanted to attack as strongly as major events in the past. However, this time, they not only criticized the news from both inside and outside, but also suffered a recession in an emergency meeting with the Soviet Union. The other party completely denied the speculation of the United States. As for peaceful negotiations and returning experts and drawings, the Soviets felt humiliated and so angry that they left the seat on the spot. What was also bad is that the US government had to cover up the news of the disappearance of Oppenheimer and other scientists again and again for reasons such as physical illness. This is exactly the same philosophical saying: liars can only use new lies to cover up old lies, and eventually get deeper and weaker.

The Colonel was inappropriate—or should he say he was the right time, sighing in a sour tone: "Maybe it really has seen through our weak inner self that the Soviets would frequently make unexpected moves, raiding Los Amos, delaying Berlin negotiations and even openly purchasing uranium ore in Norway. In recent times, the Soviet submarines that have appeared in the northwest of the Atlantic Ocean are likely to be set up in a secret base somewhere in the Caribbean Sea..."

Truman clenched his fist and hit the table. Once, twice, the dozen hearts in the office twitched nervously with this cold and silent sound.

"Take these evidences to Berlin by plane and show them on the negotiating table to see what the Soviets have to say. If they insist on denying, we will completely close the land passages in Central Europe and West Asia, cut off all exchanges with the Soviet Union, and send high-altitude reconnaissance planes into the Soviet Union for reconnaissance. If the situation continues to deteriorate, we can only re-mobilize the army and prepare for the next war!"

This is not like a bold statement from a gladiator who came out and died before his appearance, but a bad statement from the bullies. In 1945, the United States did not weaken, but reached a new military peak, and its influence on the international economic and political stage was increasing. However, *** announced its surrender. More than a month after the end of the World War, the Los Amos atomic bomb test base was successively provoked by UFOs and sudden attacks by ground personnel. At this time, the American soldiers who performed mediocrely on the European battlefield and showed their domineering power at the end of the Pacific War were all enjoying victory happily. A considerable number of them were released from power and returned to the field. Re-mobilization and recruitment would be an extremely complicated and painful process.

Proud American people are silent. Some of them know that British Prime Minister Churchill had formulated an extremely bold and risky plan before leaving office. It was to quickly declare war on the Soviet Union after defeating Germany, and to rush through Poland and Belarus when the Red Soviets were weakest, and to attack Stalingrad, cross the German stop, and fully contact this threat that has caused the Western world to panic since 1918. However, the German Arden counterattack made the West

The Allies, especially the US team, saw the remnant power of the Third Reich, but on the other side of the battlefield, the Soviet army attacked the city of Berlin in a tragic battle, and then captured the German capital in an unprecedentedly tragic battle, forcing the German army to surrender. The Soviet army defeated the German army and the German army severely defeated the US army. Such a priority order formed a default rule, that is, under the same circumstances, the Soviet army was stronger than the US army, and not to mention that in the European continent after the war, the Soviet army had an absolute numerical advantage!

The first to break this silence was MacArthur, who had become famous for his combat operations to recover the Philippines: "The current atmosphere reminds me of the autumn and winter of 1941, and there are also calls for anti-war in China. Most people think that we should not be involved in the European war. They think that the cowboys who land in Europe will be torn to pieces by the German tanks and machine guns, but we finally did it and stalked into the hinterland of Germany. Now they sympathize with the Soviet Union and fear the Soviet Union. One day they will find that they will have to fight for the survival of the country. I hope they can still burst out with the courage and cohesion of the same hatred of the enemy like after the Pearl Harbor incident, and at the same time prove the greatness of America while defeating the strong enemy!"

"I hope we can bear the loss of the next Pearl Harbor!" someone muttered in the corner.

Everyone present heard it, but pretended not to hear it.

December 23, 1945, the eve of Christmas Eve coming.

Basel, Switzerland.

At the back door of a half-new factory, Lynn wore a wide-edged gentleman's hat, a gray wool trench coat, a pure black velvet scarf around his neck, and a mini cigar slightly larger than an ordinary cigarette in his mouth. He looked up in the direction of the rails along with two special inspectors from the Swiss government's Ministry of Defense and Industry, as well as more than 20 workers working over night.

In the cold wind, snowflakes as big as goose feathers rolled down. Finally, a black object, like a one-eyed monster, appeared in sight. The powerful beam of light broke through the double obstacles of the night and the snow, and gradually illuminated the mottled and lonely place of the exterior wall that had been deserted for a long time.

Seeing the train approaching the rails, two Swiss government inspectors took out their documents and put them on their chests. They were a little older and the leader in charge and asked Lynn: "Are these shipped directly from Spain?"

"Yes!" Lynn replied in a less fluent German language with a strange accent, "It took nearly a thousand kilometers from Burgos, traveling across southern France, and took five days and seven hours... It has to be said that the efficiency of French officials is still significantly different from that of Switzerland."

Hearing such compliments, the inspector, who had a lot of snow on his hat and shoulders, raised his lips slightly and did not make any comments to his peers in neighboring countries. When the train drove into the factory along the freight route and finally stopped, he signaled his companions to check in the rear of the car and walked forward with a folder board. When the train driver walked out of the front of the car, he greeted the other party in Spanish.

The train driver with a thick lip moustache is a slightly fat middle-aged man. He also said in Spanish, as if he was complaining about the bad itinerary. If it were not for the delay of approval from the French authorities, the train that chartered the train transported machinery was much later than expected. Of course, the weather in Switzerland is much colder than the Spanish city of Burgos, located on the south bank of the Bay of Biscay.

The inspector was unintentionally chatting, allowing the train driver to continue to wave his arms and nag more excitedly, turning around and waiting for the freight specialist who was with the train to deliver the approval documents for entry and exit and details of the items to him. Then he turned around and returned to the duty room next to the door, and checked and checked page by page with the light there.

Lynn stood quietly beside the rails, watching the workers load and unload the mechanical equipment in the car using sliding cranes in the factory. By this time, he and Andri and others had been in Switzerland for two months. Life during this period was undoubtedly unprecedentedly stable and prosperous. At the invitation of new friends, the three couples also took the time to spend a week's ski trip to the Alps. In the later stages of the operation of the Ericon-Pifier project, the details involved no longer required these high-level commanders to do their own work. Taking advantage of this time, Lynn, Andri and Courtland's joint efforts made a decision to invest 45 million Swiss francs (about 2.6 million pounds) and established a military-industrial enterprise called "Caiser Defense Equipment Company" in Basel, a major industrial city in northern Switzerland.

Nominally, this new military-industrial enterprise was jointly funded by two Spanish shareholders, a Swiss shareholder and a Norwegian shareholder. The initial business project was to manufacture 7.92 mm caliber m1943 rifles and supporting ammunition for Spain's Seitmai Company through authorized production. All production lines were purchased from original Spain. This process sounds a bit complicated and redundant, but the m1943 equipped with the Spanish army is a replica of the German Mauser 98k. More importantly, Seitmai Company has received technical orders from the Franco regime and started to imitate and develop automatic rifles similar to the German mp44. The negotiations between the two sides basically hit it off - "Caiser" made old-fashioned rifles and rifle bullets for Seitmai. After Seitmai received technical support, it will mass-produce Spanish mp44 and intermediate short rifle bullets within one year.

The entire M1943 production line of Spain's Saimet Company is currently unloaded from this train. The casting parts needed to manufacture this kind of firearm are produced by another Swiss local company who is worried about not having orders. The project has nothing to do with Erickon Pilfer from beginning to end. In Switzerland, where everyone is in charge, there are many military-industrial production companies. The Swiss army has formed a Swiss-style supply system from rifles, machine guns and artillery, and has chosen 7.5 mm as the standard caliber of firearms. Therefore, the Swiss government has not set any obstacles in the production line and technology introduction of "Caiser", but this is an arms company after all. Not only is the entire establishment process accompanied by special inspectors, but it will also be jointly supervised by the industrial and defense departments in the future.
