Chapter 126 Relative Status (Two Chapters Integration)
Before the arrival of the Gregorian New Year in 1946, the Swiss Caesar Defense Company introduced the bolt-type rifle and 7.92 mm caliber bullet production line from Spain was successfully in place. According to the assembly line design, its full-load output is 2,000 rifles and 800,000 rounds per month. For a conventional army with a relatively stable structure and soldiers, such as the Spanish Army, even if it maintains half of the production, it can meet its basic needs in non-wartime state. After successfully passing the Swiss official verification, Caesar Defense was officially put into operation and began to fulfill its supply contract signed with the Spanish Ministry of Defense. A newly established military enterprise can obtain such an official.
The orders should have been impressive, but in the Swiss industry and even in Basel, Caesar Defense is like a worker who won the hot pot award and did not cause any sensation. Swiss domestic newspapers only gave extremely simple reports in the industrial news section, and the allies did not seem to have sent intelligence personnel to investigate the situation. After all, people realized through the just-concluded world war that traditional manual rifles no longer adapted to the needs of the battlefield. Arms companies engaged in firearm research and development and manufacturing have devoted their energy to semi-automatic rifles and assault rifles. Almost no one thought that an arms company that just opened and mainly engaged in traditional rifles and ammunition could cause great storms.
In the cooperation between Erickon Pifiel and the establishment of Caesar's defense, Lynn and others invested a total of more than 8 million pounds, accounting for less than one-fifth of the strategic funding of the operation. Under the supervision of the base staff and the commissioners of the Ministry of Military Police, Courtland and Dikefield were responsible for the operation, and half of the remaining funds were transferred to multiple bank accounts that had been established in Norway, Sweden and Finland in accordance with the original plan. After that, Dikefield remained in Switzerland to be responsible for contact and contact and
After the fund account operation, the rest of the personnel embarked on a journey north after the New Year - they flew into France and stayed in southern France for a week. Lynn and Courtland signed a contract with Marcel Bloch to establish a joint aircraft factory. The first investment cost only 200,000 pounds, and obtained 40% of the joint aircraft factory's equity and technical sharing qualification. Then, the group flew to northern France and made a round trip in Paris and surrounding heavy industrial areas.
During the war, France's romantic capital was twice avoided from the destruction of the war in 1940 and 1944. Just half a year after the war, it basically returned to its former prosperity and vitality. In Paris, the three ladies accompanied it launched a large purchase with great enthusiasm. A small number of them were purchased for themselves, and most of them were to buy them on behalf of friends who had money and had no place to buy them, but even so, their spending did not exceed 3,000 pounds. In contrast, the men's actions were much more "blessed". They acquired a shipyard specializing in small and medium-sized yachts and a mining company on the verge of bankruptcy for a total price of 260,000 pounds, and injected them 600,000 pounds and 800,000 pounds respectively, making them turn from the industry's canoe overnight into a full-powered clutch. After completing the transaction and the necessary registration procedures,
The shipyards neither purchase new equipment, compete for large orders, nor expand their scale, recruit employees, and slowly build 80-ton private yachts with the original team. However, they sent two groups of people to Norway for surveys and surveys, preparing to establish a shipbuilding branch in Narvik in the north, and the other to the Netherlands to purchase new hull production lines and diesel engine production lines needed to build speedboats. At its peak, the mining company had three coal mines in Alsace and Lorraine. Now it only owns a coal mine with almost exhausted ore in Alsace. The company that received the capital injection did not sell it, but turned its business to the cold Nordic. First, it recruited a group of salesmen familiar with Norway, Sweden may simply be immigrants from these countries, and sent them to Nordic survey designated areas to strive to acquire mining rights with relatively ideal mineral reserves.
Later in Belgium and the Netherlands, Lynn and his party continued to use their legal fake identities to acquire inconspicuous enterprises but cover traditional industrial fields, Belgium's "Folite" engineering company, which mainly engaged in bridge and dock construction projects, and the "More" machinery manufacturing company, which produces vehicle tires, became their spoils one after another. These companies are not large in scale, but were established for at least 20 years. During the German occupation, they were requisitioned free of charge by the occupying forces. The loss, loss of machinery and stagnation of technology made them lack their original competitiveness after the end of the war, and purchasing renewal equipment required a large investment, so the original operators could not continue to sell them. With a pure investment perspective, these factories did not have much real value, and Lynn and their practices were exactly the same as before when they were in France: inject capital, explore the northern market and then legitimately purchase new equipment.
The fiery sunset reflects the sea and beach. In Rotterdam, a Dutch city that surrendered to the German bombing in 1940, Lynn and his group rented a private villa near the sea, raised a warm fire, turned on the sweet wine, and put on the delicacies cooked by their wives. The atmosphere naturally became warm.
"Eye-opening! It's really eye-opening! Come on, General Galgo, I'll give you a cup alone!"
Colonel Rudolph Dortman, sent by the base staff, raised his goblet with half a glass of red wine in one hand and spoke loudly with a red face. On weekdays, they either stayed in the hotel timidly, clamped their tails, straightened their tongues and pretended to be Norwegians, French or Spanish. After such a series of compact, bold and troubled attacks, they could finally sit down and celebrate their phased achievements. Even the most conservative people may choose to relax and enjoy them happily.
Lynn responded, and without saying a word, Colonel Dortman each killed the wine in his glass, then picked up the bottle and poured half a cup for himself, lifted it up and said, "The solution is for everyone to think about it together; the risks are for everyone to bear; the difficulties are for everyone to overcome; the achievements, all achievements should also be attributed to everyone's gains! I suggest that we should toast to our common cause and to our common achievements!"
Andri, who was always alert and calm, the straightforward and honest Courtland, the capable and smooth Alfred Schar, the cautious and dedicated Thorde Zenaman, Colonel Hans Wabbe, who was sent to participate in the operation by the base military police, Captain Holman Lunt, who had just drunk half a cup of Dortman and his deputy, Lieutenant Joannas Herbuck, stood up and raised their glasses together: "For our common cause!"
Another toast, the stimulation of alcohol made Lynn feel that every cell in his body was fully active and his face was slightly hot. After sitting down, he said in a tone of being arrogant and unrestrained: "Guys, our trip was a half-open activity under the enemy's nose. It has been very smooth so far. It's very good, really good, much better than I imagined. When we return to Nordic Europe, there are more people to respond, and the risks we take will be smaller. However, I suggest that no matter big or small, the main line details, everyone should try to be cautious. When the empire returns to the world stage, it is not too late for us to indulge in arrogance!"
"That's right!" Courtland raised his hand and raised his head with a flushed face, "Our commander is right! Now the enemy is at the peak, and we are at the bottom of the valley. The more such adversity is, the more we can reflect the tenacity and tenacity of the Germans! Guys, let us unite, for the long-term future of the empire and for our unyielding will, follow our commander General Lynn Galgo, and turn this action into a great victory!"
Courtland didn't drink much, Lynn knew that he was already six or seventy-seven years old when he said this. After spending nearly a hundred days away, he was truly impressed by himself. Although many investment decisions have not yet seen actual results, the layout shows the flexibility and vision of the vision. If the Ericon-Pifier cooperation is successful, the Imperial jet fighter will at least maintain a balanced power in radar equipment and melee weapons. In France, Belgium, and the Netherlands' investment projects will truly operate, which will take a substantial step for the Imperial economic and industrial strategy in Nordic Europe.
"I, Lynn, was first a loyal soldier of the Empire, and then my colleagues of the Guards, military staff, and then the operation commander appointed by the Head of State. Everything I did was to put the interests of the Empire first."
Lynn said while calmly observing everyone's expressions. Among all the people, Andri is a real interest faction. He can be unconstrained by faith and will. He is a reliable collaborator at this stage, but if he wants to make him turn his back, Lynn must go further in his own position and give more attractive interests. Base staff officer Dortman is a standard Defense Force officer, who acts more objectively and fairly. Even if he occasionally complains, he is not in the right way. Such officers often only serve their loyalty to the object of their oath. Zenaman was born in the Defense Forces and should only be in the middle of the war.
He was summoned to join the SS, and his personality was similar to Dortman. The difference was that he had more respect and trust in Lynn in his personal relationship. As long as he did not conflict with the interests of the empire, he was a person worthy of entrusting himself. However, his vision and overall view were limited, and his comprehensive ability was still a little worse than Andre. Schar was a typical intelligence officer, with a low-key, cautious and worldly manner. It was difficult to figure out his true thoughts from his words and expressions. He was older and was obedient to Andre's subordinates and superiors, rather than obeying his personal thoughts.
"Yes, each of us is a loyal warrior of the empire and the head of state, and a inheritor of Germanic charisma!"
The words of the military police officer Thorde Zenaman sounded like a response to Lynn's previous words, but his first sentence added the word "head of the head", which was obviously a reminder to everyone that the empire and the head of the head of the country are connected by fate.
Lynn suddenly heard what was in the conversation. Although Zenaman and Dortman were a group of people, they were only more than a week late to join the action. Compared to Dortman's normality, Zenaman seemed to supervise everyone with a questioning attitude. Whether it was Lynn's proposal or the opinions of others, his direct reaction was often the "why" that was boring. This was not the curiosity of the bystanders, but the question of the bottom line. He had to understand each fund movement clearly, and he had to see Courtland with his own eyes.
The operation documents with Dickfield were even to watch them all over the bank. Doing so naturally added a lot of burden to Lynn and his actions, and sometimes it was a major cause of irritability. For this commissioner sent by the head of state, Lynn, Andry and Courtland stood firmly on the united front, and their practice of privately withdrawing part of the funds for special purposes was successfully concealed from Zenaman, which further proved that he was just a "thorn" who pretended to be ignorant of economic and financial business.
"Well said, we are all inheritors of Germanic's firm character! This sentence is worthy of being engraved in my heart!" Lynn stood up and raised his glass to Zenaman, "So I must pay my respects to the Colonel alone for this cup!"
Even though he was slow, Zenaman, like most German soldiers, valued self-esteem and honor very much, and never looked down on face. Since Lynn was "respect", he stood up with no refusal. Scharn acted as a camera to add some red wine to his cup, making it at the same level as Lynn's glass.
The two of them drank all the wine in their own glasses, Lynn was straightforward and Zenaman was a little slow.
After drinking this glass of wine, the military police officer looked at Lin Neng with some resentment, watching him sit opposite him calmly. Drinking capacity does not determine everything, but sometimes it can become an attack weapon that is sharper than words. When he feels disgusted with Zenaman's problems or words during the meal, Lin Neng will toast the other party with gorgeous words, one word, one word, one glass, and one glass, even without help from others, he can still lie down. Over time, his colleagues were extremely tired of Zenaman's "why", so a group of people toasted one after another or frequently raised their glasses to propose drinking together. Zenaman either took the excuse of leaving the table in the middle or being knocked down directly, and the next was the time for everyone to speak freely.
"From the Netherlands, you have to pass Denmark in the middle of the journey. General Galgo and his wife were both born in Denmark!" Courtland said inadvertently. In fact, he and Andri had known and agreed to Lynn taking Dinah to Copenhagen before. After all, there is no way to find the files about Dinah's family. This time, it is difficult to travel, so it is also easy to see if her family is still there. Even if they cannot be reunited for a long time, they can at least give them some financial help, and at the same time let them know that their relatives are still living in this world.
"Yes, Dinah and I were both born in Copenhagen. She is from the city, and she has been in a superior condition since childhood, and is proficient in music and dance. I am a countryman and advocates military affairs since I was a child, so I later joined the SS and started from the bottom of the army." Lynn said calmly, his eyes straight towards Zenaman. He knew that now there are only two base commissioners who can stop him from doing so. Colonel Dortman should not be so ruthless, so the only headache is this military police officer.
Zenaman did not speak, but sat there burping.
Colonel Dortman probably heard the subtext of the response and answering the two. He said tactfully: "This kind of experience is a true legend! Some of us, although they participated in two world wars, were just ordinary soldiers in the first time, and even if they caught up with the second time, they did not play a big role. I am so ashamed! General Galgo, since he had the opportunity this time, he would simply go back to Copenhagen with his wife, so that he could pick up some local specialties and bring them back to the head of state and the head of state."
Lynn smiled but didn't answer, waiting for the military police officer to express his opinion.
As a special commissioner, Dortman proposed that Zenaman would not have much to say if he took care of his situation, and he cleverly brought the head and his wife. Hearing this, the hiccup guy really raised his head and looked straight at Lin Neng. Seeing that Lin Neng was also looking at him, he stretched his head and said, "Col. Andri, what is the current security situation in Denmark? What level of response can we arrange in Denmark?"
Andri might have expected this, and even if he didn't, he didn't have to worry too much about his on-the-spot reaction ability.
"In general, Denmark is the least damaged country in the war zone. At present, there are only a small number of troops in the allied countries, located in the southern and northern parts of the Jutland Peninsula. According to analysis, they should all be withdrawn soon. At the end of the war, many of us lurked in Denmark with a pseudonym. Later, for various reasons, there were only a few lurking personnel left. If necessary, we can contact the underground intelligence organization in Denmark."
This is very official and the content is vague. In fact, the British and the special forces under the US Command in Europe are still searching for former German SS personnel hiding here with pseudonyms in Denmark, and the Danish authorities also organized police assistance. Therefore, Lynn took a certain risk in arranging the Denmark trip without planning, but in his opinion, this danger is nothing compared to the battle during the war and the US raid on Los Amos in the United States.
It is rare that Zenaman directly made a concession: "Since the head of state appointed General Galgo as the commander of this operation, it is up to the general to decide whether to involve strategic principles or minor adjustments to large amounts of funds. I personally just kindly reminded that this operation has been very smooth until now, and it may not be such a wise choice to make trouble."
Lin Neng's eyes lit up, and she was so happy that she almost raised her glass to toast Zenaman. The guy shook his head helplessly, but his burp continued.
A few days later.
Under the warm midday sun, the white seaplane glided happily on the calm water. The experienced Dutch pilots approached the dock before closing the engine. The buoy-structured Curtis seaplane moved for the last ten meters with inertia and steadily docked at the port terminal in Copenhagen.
Looking at the busy and clean port outside the porthole, the strange and beautiful buildings, and the Danes dressed in ordinary and calm, Lin En should not have had a strange mood, but the feeling that surged from the heart did indeed have an indelible throbbing.
The relatives of the Galgo family lived in the outskirts of the city. Due to the situation in Denmark in the late war, the chances of their misfortune should not be too high. Among the family portraits in the diary, except for the younger brother in military uniforms, who are in a more complicated situation, others may have a chance to meet. Once they meet again, how to deal with this family affection that does not belong to them, as well as Alice, Kassili and White Goatee. After leaving East Prussia, the family was placed in Denmark. Maybe they were deported to Germany after the war ended, or maybe they stayed in some way.
Too much entanglement and too many possibilities have allowed Lynn to maintain an indescribable relationship with this beautiful Danish city from the very beginning.
In contrast, Dinah's mood was much simpler. She couldn't wait to step onto the land of Copenhagen, step into this once familiar city, follow every detail in her memory, go home, go home.
Most of the luggage was taken directly to Norway by Andri and others. Lynn, Dinah, Wolfrum and the deputy of Colonel Hans Wabble, the military police commissioner, Lieutenant Joannas Herbuck, were lightweight and simple. Before pushing open the cabin door, Lynn whispered: "Be more natural in appearance, try to keep calm and keep your identity in mind no matter what situation you encounter."
Strictly speaking, the targets of Lynn's advice include Dinah. Although she was born in Copenhagen, she was forcibly abducted by the German occupation forces several years ago and has not been heard from since then. Such an identity is still easy to arouse people's curiosity and attention. According to the allies, Lieutenant Herbuck should be a dead/missed person from the former German Wehrmacht. Even if she was arrested, she would be interrogated and stayed in the prisoner-of-war camp for a while. Lynn and Wolfrum
Such former SS personnel are different. Whether it is the Western Allied Forces or the Soviets, the punishment for such personnel is very severe. Of course, these situations are based on the premise of identity exposure. They lived in Switzerland for more than two months and walked around in France, Belgium and the Netherlands. Their legal passports were well protected by their true identities. Under normal circumstances, as long as they did not make any mistakes on their own initiative, even if they encountered the Allied Patrol investigation and inquiry, there would be no big problems.
When they boarded the dock, a group of four people walked towards the city in a calm manner. During the flight, except for the offshore areas, the shipping and fishery of the western Denmark ports had not returned to normal. During the war, in order to defend against the raids of the British fleet, the German Navy built a "Western Wall" along the western Jutland Peninsula. A total of tens of thousands of mines were laid. The sea mine clearance was a recognized problem. Until the end of the war, the Allied forces were unable to launch a landing operation from this side. It would probably take a long time to clean these mines. However, Copenhagen is located in northern Denmark. The rapid-flowing straits are not suitable for mine deployment. At this time, there are many ships entering and leaving the port, and the dock area is also a vibrant scene. People coming and going seem to enjoy this clear weather very much. In some relatively shady areas, the thick snow reminds people that this place also belongs to the Nordic category.
Several cars and carriages were parked outside the passenger terminal. They looked like taxis, with no obvious signs on the roof and body, but one of them placed a small bunch of cornflowers against the windshield, which was the code that the local intelligence personnel responded to. As a "Danish", Lynn walked in front of the group of four, carrying Dinah, Wolfrum and Herbuck to the car, and said to the driver a Danish language that he learned and sold: "I am Uncle Schott's nephew."
