Shortly after the conversation between Lynn and Andri, inside news came from the Swedish government that the British side had no intention of setting up obstacles on the wreckage of the Tirpitz. After learning about the acquisition plan of the abandoned warship by Erickon Yipfil, the two British generals expressed their understanding and support in principle, but required Norway to communicate with the British government again before the agreement was officially reached. At that time, the British government will make additional requests depending on the specific situation and sign a three-sided memorandum.

Although Lynn, Andri and Courtland were relieved, they could not be happy in their hearts. The Norwegians themselves did not have much grudge against the "Tirpitz", which once shocked Europe and is now basically similar to a dead whale. Instead, the British, who had been tortured by the German Navy for almost six years, should be resentful of the nearly 3,000 ships of various types that sank during the war. In fact, after the German troops stationed in Norway surrendered, the British soon sent ships including ships.

Navy personnel, including boat engineering experts, conducted field surveys. To be objective and fair, Germany's main battleship technology is not comprehensive, and there are major hidden dangers in design, radar equipment, and air defense weapons. However, the Bismarck-class firepower, speed and superb strike ability make them the most terrifying naval opponents in this war. In comparison, the latest first-class battleship of the British Royal Navy is already in the outfitted "Fengwei" and is modified based on practical experience.

The watertight compartment structure of the hull was entered, and the defense energy was improved on the basis of the George V class, the bow side arc was redesigned, the bow freeboard was improved, and the waveproof board was added to improve the navigation energy in harsh sea conditions. The optimized ship design was the moderate aspect ratio of the hull. The square stern used to improve propulsion efficiency, and a relatively complete radar fire control system was also equipped with a relatively complete radar fire control system. In addition to air-to-sea search radar, not only the main and secondary guns were equipped with fire control radars, and various ports.

The anti-aircraft artillery of the diameter is also equipped with gun-aiding radar. On paper, the expensive "Avant-garde," has surpassed the German Bismarck-class in all aspects in addition to firepower. However, in an ideal state, it is hard to say who will win if the "Bismar" meets the "Bismar" or "Tirpitz". However, Germany has been defeated after all, and no warship can compete with the Royal Navy. This is also a crucial factor that really makes the British let go of their fear and retain their self-esteem!

In Norway, the group of people who implemented the "Spring Thunder Plan..." set off directly from Oslo, Norway to Stockholm, Sweden. Before that, a few weeks after they went to Switzerland, the Empire sent personnel from the "sanctuary" base to contact spies in Norway, to check information and make joints, and also sent specialized personnel from economic and industrial fields to Sweden and Finland to engage in preliminary preparation work. These two Nordic countries are in the historical abyss.

There are inseparable ties between the source and national customs. From 1941 to 1944, about 1,500 Swedish volunteer soldiers served in Finland, but these two countries have gradually embarked on completely different paths in more than a hundred years in modern times. Although the Finns and the Third Reich were obviously closer to the Swedes in the early cooperative relationship, in Lynn's plan..., Sweden's important xing is larger than Finland, which is still fulfilling its secret agreement.

As an armed neutral country with a similar attitude to Switzerland, Sweden played the role of a neutral country during World War II and maintained more or less ties with Germany and its allies. The last major war Sweden participated in was dated back to the Napoleon period. In the 1939 Soviet-Finn War, more than 10,000 Swedish volunteers fought side by side with the Finnish army. This number is of special significance, because Sweden's total population was about 6.5 million at that time, accounting for a relatively large proportion.

Before the outbreak of the Soviet-German War, a small number of Swedes were scattered in the German army, such as in the 5th Ss Vikings. After Germany invaded the Soviet Union, about 200 Swedish volunteers who wanted to join the German army were concentrated through the ambassador to Stockholm and the informal departments of the German SS in Sweden to arrive in Germany through Norway. During the war, wounded and killed more than half of the total number, and some of the best were sent to the SS officers' school for training. During the Battle of Berlin, Swedish volunteers also participated in the war, and they were affiliated with the Nordic division.

Before the end of the war, although the empire's senior officials secretly poured and implemented the "Aryan Ark Plan...", due to the lack of sufficient consideration of the re-emerging route, only a very small number of Swedish volunteers were specially trained to return to Sweden as their real identities. However, between 1940 and 1945, the German Military Intelligence Agency and the SS each developed spy and intelligence providers in this Nordic country with developed military industry. With the efforts of the Imperial Strategy Staff, the two intelligence networks merged the personnel who continued to work for the Empire after the war.

People around.

After the early actions, Lynn felt increasingly lacking in the humanities and history of European countries. In order to play his role in decisive role in more occasions, he seized all the time to make up for his knowledge. Before arriving in Sweden, he made it clear that Sweden's policy during the two world wars was simple and reliable, that is, he would never participate in the war.

It is easy to make such a decision, but it is not easy to maintain such a position. After the outbreak of World War II, Germany and Britain promised not to interfere with Sweden's trade with other countries, but in the first seven months of the war, Sweden still lost more than 40 merchant ships. After Germany occupied Denmark and Norway, it completely blocked the trade routes between Sweden and the Allies with torpedoes and submarines. The Allies also took the opportunity to forcibly lease Swedish ships blocked from the blockade. At the same time, Britain, which urgently needed balls and bearings produced by Sweden, did not hesitate to send transport aircraft to fly over the German-occupied area to Sweden to air transport these important military supplies. From the other side of the war, the Allies fully recognized it during this period.

Recognizing the importance of Swedish iron ore to the German war economy, we planned to cut off or cut off this supply many times. With the end of the Norwegian war in June 1940 and the tightening of the Western Front, the allies were no longer able to interfere in Nordic affairs, and Sweden had fully fallen under Germany's control. At this time, the allies were considerate of Sweden's situation. Even Churchill, who was always strong, said in a talk with Bohmann, who later served as Swedish ambassador to the United Kingdom, that Britain did not want another German victim. Everything Britain asked for was: Sweden could defend itself once attacked, no longer make unnecessary concessions, and could cancel the concessions that had been made as soon as possible.

However, geographical location and government stance are not enough to ensure the security of a country. Sweden can maintain its independence and relatively neutrality. It has the most powerful navy in the entire Scandinavian region. Moreover, its military industry is very developed, and many famous weapons are produced in Sweden. As early as when Germany was preparing to invade Norway, a naval general proposed that instead of taking the risk of landing in Norway from the sea, it is better to attack Sweden first and then advance northward from land. However, the German head of state, who always likes to take risks, is not willing to provoke this No. 1 military power in Nordic.

So Germany issued an order to Sweden: "Only the neutrality of Germany is inclined to ensure that it is not violated... Germany agreed to respect Sweden's neutrality status conditionally, and one of the conditions is that Sweden cannot reduce its iron ore exports to Germany.

After the Battle of the Western Front, Sweden compromised with Germany, agreeing to transport military supplies to Norway through Sweden, and agreeing to pass the German army within the territory. However, during this period, Sweden's army doubled to 500,000 people, with weapons and equipment three times that of the previous ones, and strengthened the motorized forces. Sweden established its own submarine and torpedo boat troops, with the total number of aircraft doubled, and most of the service were newly built high-energy fighters. When Germany lost the decisive battle of tanks in Kursk, Sweden finally decided not to transport supplies and soldiers for Germany. Before that, they transported a total of 2.14 million German soldiers and 100,000 car-skinned supplies to the front line.

When the war situation turned around, the allies also increased their pressure on Sweden. The one that poses the greatest threat to Sweden is now the Allies rather than Germany. In order to adapt to the situation, Sweden gradually canceled its concessions to Germany and began to move closer to the Allies. Although the German head of state was annoyed, he had no choice but to do anything, because at this time he was too busy to take care of himself and had no power to interfere in the affairs of neutral countries.

When Sweden informed Germany that transit transportation had to stop in the summer of 1943, he calmly accepted the development of the situation, because at this time he had many other more important issues, such as the Allied invasion of Italy, the fall of Mussolini, and the increasing pressure on France - all of which combined to force Germany to withdraw its troops from Norway to France instead of opening up new fronts in Nordic Europe.

In this way, relying on adopting flexible compromise policies at different stages of the war, Sweden won the recognition and maintenance of neutrality by the superiors of both warring parties, while those at disadvantages either out of understanding or helplessness, watched Sweden serve the enemy but was unable to interfere.

Overall, Sweden's neutrality is beyond economic activities. It provides convenience for allied intelligence personnel and Denmark and Norway's resistance organizations, and also accepts the vast majority of Danish Jews to take refuge. The Swedish Red Cross provided a large amount of humanitarian assistance to European refugees during the war. On the other hand, Sweden is one of Germany's most important trading partners, and its high-quality iron ore sand (which can produce high-quality alloy steel) is particularly important for Germany's defense production. Finally, the Swedish nation advocates equality, cooperation, and pursues the perfection of human rights. On the issue of suffrage, Swedish women obtained the right to vote in 1921. The government and various parties have been silent for a long time on the issue of suffrage...

In addition to investing in the cooperation of mineral and metallurgy industries, Lynn and his group have greater ambitions, that is, to use Sweden's technical strength to restore and enhance the military power of the empire.

The attitude of the Swedish government during the war was already extremely clear, so after the war, it was even more impossible for them to secretly cooperate with the remnants of the Third Reich as the Finns, and everything could only be carried out by unconventional means.

After collecting and analyzing various information, Lynn and his senior staff members of the base camp reached a consensus in key parts. The main action in Sweden will focus on three key enterprises and institutions: Nobel Institute of Physics, Bofors, and Swedish Aircraft Corporation (hereinafter referred to as Saab).

Although Sweden has not yet conducted nuclear weapons research and will not have the determination or ability to develop atomic bombs in the future, it is thanks to the precious material and spiritual wealth left by the Swedish Nobel, the greatest chemist, engineer, inventor, military equipment manufacturer and explosive inventor, Swedish Nobel, the relatively relaxed and stable political atmosphere of the Nordic country during the war. At the end of the war, the Swedish Nobel Institute of Physics in Stockholm has a group of top particle physics scholars and excellent test equipment in Europe and even the world. One of their representatives and leaders is Dr. Lizemetner, this 67-year-old great woman

Scientists have the reputation of "Mother of the Atomic Bomb", and their contributions and achievements in nuclear physics are almost no less than those of Otto Hahn. What is better than ordinary physicists is that she is both a physicist and a chemist. She uses both physics and chemistry: she has long and fruitful communications with Max, Planck, whom she regards as fatherly, and she often visits Bohr's house. She established the concept of fission, but had to face the fact that fission was used to produce weapons of mass destruction. Therefore, she has always refused to participate in the research of nuclear weapons and flatly refused invitations from the United States during the war.

As for the old signature "Bofus", which can be traced back to the 17th century, also had a deep connection with the explosives king Nobel, who had amazing wealth at that time. In 1894, in order to strengthen the defense industry of his motherland Sweden, Nobel bought Bofus and Goulsbon in Bofus, Waimland Province for 1.3 million kroner. It mainly produces steel and explosives. Under Nobel's painstaking management, the company gradually grew stronger and later changed its name to Bofus. During World War I, because Sweden remained neutral, Bofus could easily sell weapons to both sides of the war, and thus became the world's top weapon manufacturer.

After the end of World War I, Germany, as a defeated country, was limited by the Versailles Agreement, and was not allowed to develop any new powerful weapons of destruction. In the 1920s, German Krupp acquired some shares of Bofos and transferred some production technologies, and cooperated with Bofos to design and develop various new artillery in Sweden. This is undoubtedly a valuable opportunity for Bofos. Swedish designers gained new design ideas and valuable design experience from German designers. Although there are big differences in the design concepts of Bofos and Krupp, Swedish designers have always focused on the development of light artillery.

German designers prefer to develop heavy artillery. The cooperation between the two major arms companies was also announced to the end after Germany reorganized its arms. However, this cooperation experience still strengthened Bofus' technology and was able to provide body tubes for the Bolan military's 305mm heavy mortar cannon. Such difficult components as the retreat mechanism. This Skoda-style heavy artillery was manufactured in the spring of 1939 and transported to Warsaw for testing. However, due to the lack of effective high-power artillery tractors in Bolan, it was not put into production in time. The Bolan people were unable to realize their original intention of manufacturing this artillery: to fight against the increasingly powerful German army.

In terms of aviation technology, objectively speaking, Germany at the end of the war was far ahead of the Allies in many fields. In Linn's eyes, the disc-shaped aircraft parked in the Nordic Cold Cave Library was an incredible work of this era. Even if we put aside the immature technology, in terms of conventional weapons, single-engine and twin-engine jet fighters, single-rotor and twin-rotor helicopters, and practical technologies of airborne radars still have relative advantages. But the obvious point is that, the British,

The old rivals of the United States and the Soviet Union are all using their national strength to climb the technology tree quickly. If the empire's aviation technology always stays in the cave stage, it is basically equivalent to a dream. In the long run, it will be left behind by the opponent. Although the Swedish Air Force cannot be compared with the main belligerent countries in terms of scale, they have a relatively complete aviation industry. Saab is the rising star and the current leader. Its predecessor was the Swedish Vesby Vehicle Manufacturing Factory established in 1891. In 1937, when it was attracted by the domestic aviation demand in Sweden, Visby invested in the establishment of Swedish Aircraft Co., Ltd., Saab. During World War II, its most unique product was the Swedish Small 21 fighter, a very avant-garde propeller rear-mounted piston fighter. This fighter and Germany

The "arrow" type has no blood relationship. It became atop the design drawings as early as 1939. It was tested in 1943 and put into mass production in 1945. This rear-propelled fighter produced a total of 398 aircraft, using the DB-605b 12-cylinder liquid-cooled piston engine of Daimler and Mercedes-Benz. It uses the rear-mounted, propeller propeller and double-tail beam layout. The design mainly considers that this layout can provide pilots with a good forward vision, and at the same time, the nose has room to install powerful forward firepower: a 20mm aerospace cannon and a meter machine gun, and one-meter machine gun is installed on each side of the tail beam. In addition, since the pilot is prone to be involved in the rear-mounted propeller when parachuting, this advanced fighter also has a flight ejection mount developed by Saab...
