Chapter 6 Leader's Will

The British fleet finally left the port, and the British radar soldiers were sent to the deserted and isolated Hakyi Island to see the sea view. Life in the port of Tromso quickly restored its previous order. Behind this seemingly quiet appearance is a flourishing Nordic industrial base that is unknown to outsiders. In addition to the casting, machinery, power generation and light industrial enterprises established in Tromso, Nalvik, connected to it by sea and highway, is also an important part of this industrial plan. There, engines, shipbuilding and energy companies invested by "Western European investors" have been officially approved by Norway, and they can be proud.

The land recruits local Norwegians and laborers from other European countries to engage in production activities, and uses its strong financial advantages to acquire small factories in the local industry. In addition, a steel company with a total investment of more than 10 million pounds is also being built. Once it operates smoothly, the high-quality coal mines transported from the Spitsburg Islands and the high-quality iron ore sand transported from the Lapland region of Sweden will be perfectly integrated in Narvik. If it is fully operational, the annual steel output of this large factory can reach more than 400,000 tons. In the future, large bearing and ball manufacturing plants will be established based on metallurgy. These are indispensable war resources!

In more than three months, Lynn will usher in a little life that closely connects himself with the world. His father's sense of responsibility has made him strive for progress with unprecedented motivation. After dealing with the British, he returned to the "Sanctuary" by submarine and participated in high-level decision-making meetings. As civilians and ordinary factories in the base moved to the surrounding areas of Tromso one after another, the "Sanctuary" is somewhat unworthy of its name. It is also the command center of the secret empire, focusing on the most cutting-edge scientific and technological personnel and facilities. However, with the gradual consolidation and stability of the Nordic industrial base, this part will also be transferred to Tromso after the autumn. At that time, nuclear research and enriched uranium refining facilities will be mainly retained in the "Sanctuary".

Since the head of state re-in charge, the Imperial High-level Conference has been held at least once a month, with the minds of all departments of the internal affairs, publicity and strategy. This time, Lynn attended the meeting as the dual identities of the Chief Strategy Staff Officer of the Base Camp and Governor Tromso, and was placed on the left of the commander-in-chief of the base.[]

According to the conference rankings alone, he was listed only after Rommel and Goebbels, and even better than the base chief of staff and General Bourne Baker. At the beginning of the meeting, Dr. Hoffman, general manager of the Imperial atomic bomb project, reported the latest progress of the work to senior officials. Cleaning up: As the scale of the enriched uranium refining device using gas diffusion technology further expanded, the enriched uranium refining speed in the base increased to 05 kilograms per month. With one kilogram every four months at a secret factory in South America, it will take nearly 7 years to create an atomic bomb like the "little boy" that uses uranium 235 as fission material!

The seven-year period did not exceed the longest time limit of the original imperial rejuvenation plan. However, when the Eastern and Western camps had already fought, the most ideal strategic situation should appear in the short term. Once missed this time, no one can guarantee that there will be a similar opportunity in a few years. Even if you have a real atomic bomb, it may not be enough to provide a protective barrier for the rise of the empire. However, these seven years were just simple digital calculations after all. The continuous capital and material investment of the empire has expanded the refining facilities for enriched uranium every month. If this continues, it is optimistic that 64 kilograms of uranium can be obtained in about 4 years. The more critical point is that the US research data has shown that the critical mass of fission reaction is far lower than this number, which means that after improving the method of outbreak, people only need half or even less uranium-′ to create an atomic bomb.

For the first time in the formal meeting, sitting so close to the head of state, Lynn quietly observed every move of the leader. People in later generations often thought of Adolf.

Hitler was an evil war madman. He was extreme, stubborn, arrogant, impulsive, unreasonable, refused to accept the correct opinions of others, and randomly interfered in front-line deployments, etc. These descriptions certainly reflect some actual situations in the middle and late stages of the war, but Lynn's contact before and after the end of the war was generally different from these historical comments. In terms of living habits, he was like a devout Christian, absolutely vegetarian, hated cigarettes and alcohol, and had a very regular schedule. Of course, due to illness, such as

This evening he needs to spend three hours in the medical room before he can take a walk in the garden. When he is in high spirits, he will also go outside the base to see the sea view. In military and political affairs, he always listens to the reports of his subordinates quietly before drawing conclusions. He rarely interrupts in the middle, and the questions asked are very targeted. Many times, Lynn is thinking that if the head of state maintained this mentality for two or three years before the end of the war, the war might have to be delayed for a few years, and perhaps an alternative ending would appear.

After listening to Dr. Hoffman's report, Hitler did not ruthlessly issue a deadly order to increase production to the atomic bomb project department. Instead, he asked the industrial department, which is now temporarily under Goebbels, to expand the scale of enriched uranium refining facilities in South America as soon as possible, and the intelligence department will speed up the economic annexation of the local uranium mines in Norway. Immediately afterwards, Lynn informed of the recent situation in Tromso County, and detailed the situation of the British army establishing a comprehensive radar base station and his own analysis and insights. The tavern battle incident at the garrison command center was praised as good as the tavern fight. The senior generals and officials listened quietly to Lynn's speech, and no one raised any doubts or objections. This was like watching a niche movie, and the carefully designed plot encountered many unrest.

After Lynn's speech, the head of state politely praised the foundational role played by the occupation of Tromso Port on the road to imperial rejuvenation, and judged with his eyes that the British had no intention of investing more power in northern Norway - as long as this war can defeat and dismember the Soviet Union, the threat to the British mainland will naturally be lifted, and it is completely foreseeable that the former international status of the British Empire was replaced by the United States in a peaceful way, which could not be changed by occupying any strategic position.

After that, General Bournebeck got up and walked to the front of the conference room. Two war scenes that should have been taken by the Western Allies on the curtain arranged against the wall were projected. The previous section showed a scene of a huge Allied ground troops rolling forward on the Eastern European plains. The latter section was a bombing scene taken by aerial shots. A large number of bombs that fell over the heads of the Germans were now overwhelmingly hitting the Soviet factories and cities. After the image was screened, the curtain was replaced with a marked European map projection. General Bournebeck took a long guide stick to introduce the current European war situation: after the early stage

The Soviet army's defense deployment and military morale were obviously greatly affected. They failed to block the Allied sea and land attack in East Prussia, which is known as Kaliningrad Prefecture, as the Soviet Union. It is said that a hundred thousand Soviet officers and soldiers became Allied prisoners of war there, and the Soviet army did not use defense lines to stubbornly block the border areas of Belarus and Ukraine. Now, the northern combat cluster composed of US and British troops has occupied the western coastal areas of Lithuania, and its vanguard forces advanced to southern Latvia, while the Lithuanian and Latvian people obviously opposed the Western Allied forces.

Arriving with a warm welcome attitude. The two countries are still under Soviet occupation. The areas aimed at destroying Soviet facilities and scattered armed personnel deployed by the Soviet army have appeared. The southern combat cluster composed of the US, British, French and Polish troops has invaded Belarus and Ukraine. Their vanguards are only more than 100 kilometers away from Minsk, the capital of Belarus, and about 300 kilometers away from Kiev, the capital of Ukraine. There are also signs of unrest in southern Ukraine. It seems that the large number of leaflets sprinkled there have been a certain effect - the Third Reich

The occupation policy was too brutal, but the policies implemented by the Soviet leaders did not seem to be very clever in the policies implemented by the Franchise Republic and external occupied areas. Except for areas where the Soviet party movement was relatively strong, such as Czechoslovakia, Ukraine, Hungary, Romania and other countries, which the Soviet army withdrew several months after the war, were more or less resistant to Moscow. Therefore, the Western Allied forces easily obtained permission to station troops in Hungary and Romania and establish aviation bases. The Turks also provided aviation bases with reconnaissance as their main purpose under the banner of neutrality.

At sea, the Western Allied camp, which had an absolute advantage in strength, firmly controlled the western end of the Baltic Sea, and the powerful combat fleet sailed into the Baltic Sea in a dignified manner. The ports of Denmark, Germany and Poland were used as supply docking bases to provide strong support for the ground offensive. They followed the pace of the Northern Road combat cluster and appeared in the waters of Lithuania and Latvia, and easily blocked other areas of the Baltic Sea except the Gulf of Finland.

As usual, the Soviet Union laid mines in the near-shore waters of Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and the Gulf of Finland, but this obviously cannot completely stop the Allied fleet from advancing. Looking at the combat situation in front of us and combining his understanding of the modern military strategies of the United States and Britain, Lynn felt that the attack of the Western camp was completely different from the original blitzkrieg in Germany. They fought steadily and did not pursue the effect of large-scale corps annihilation wars, but continued to repel and defeat the Soviet defensive forces in front of them. The great thing is that they would make full use of sugar-coated shells and the locals' dissatisfaction with the Soviet political strategies to differentiate and disintegrate, and quickly support the democratic regime to replace the Soviet parties. Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, the three Baltic countries, were originally in the three.

The people who were forced to incorporate into the Soviet Union in the late 190s, when the German army invaded the Soviet Union, the people of these countries warmly welcomed the German "liberation". This time they welcomed the Western Allied forces with a similar attitude. Ukrainian peasants seemed to be jealous of Moscow's various policies. Only Belarus's willingness to be independent was not so strong. In this way, the southern Soviet Union would inevitably face a situation of disintegration. When the Allies consolidated their occupation in Eastern Europe with strong economic and industrial support, the supply line troubles that Napoleon's French team and Hitler's German team were no longer a problem. It was explained that the United States, Britain and other countries did not even need to send ground troops to attack, and directly using continuous and fierce strategic bombing may cause the collapse and disintegration of the Soviet Union, which had lost Stalin, was not a problem.

After General Bournebeck finished speaking, the head of state just looked at the battle situation on the wall without saying a word. The geography of Eastern Europe probably had already left a very clear mark in his mind. During countless days and nights during the war, he and the marshals of the National Defense Forces and the high-ranking leaders discussed the combat plan over and over again on the map of Eastern Europe. They experienced the blitzkrieg of 1941, experienced the subsequent anxiety, reciprocity and final depression. The industry that had not been achieved back then caused a deep regret. Now, seeing the third and most powerful army in history attacking Russia from the west, he should be the one with the most mixed feelings.

After this simple introduction without any discussion, the arrangement was over, Hans Andry, the intelligence chief of the newly-elected Imperial Guards Major General, replaced General Bernbeck, and the projected picture also became the photo of the Kremlin

"According to the intelligence that our personnel have exerted from the Soviet Union and combined with the reports and reactions of Western countries, we believe that since Stalin's death, the Soviet senior officials have fought a series of struggles for the highest power, and the change of the power groups is overwhelming. At present, the people who control the overall situation of the war should be the Soviet People's Committee of Defense and the Supreme Command of the Soviet Armed Forces. The names of these two institutions are completely consistent with the previous war period, but the members of the group have changed a lot, and we have made detailed information on this.

He really has the right to say...Temushinge, the oldest marshal of the Soviet Union, the former commander of the Soviet armed forces, the winner of the two Soviet heroes, was once excluded by Stalin but took this opportunity to return to the stage of supreme power. And he... Marshal Zhukov, who we are very familiar with, is the best among the Mesozoic generals, and the winner of the title of heroes of the Soviet Union three times, has a high prestige in the army and is also trusted and supported by the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union."

With Andri's explanations, photos of Temusinggo and Zhukov appeared on the screen accordingly. Lynn listened and thought, it seemed that in the past two months, Andri's silence has turned to focus on his own business. What he introduced is not only what the imperial officials present urgently hoped to know, but also to a certain extent the information that determines the imperial strategy. Small deviations can be tolerated. Once there is a mistake in the general direction, the consequences may be very serious.

"As far as we know, the Soviet People's Committee of Defense also includes him, Marshal Konev, the Soviet commander who is best at offensive wars, and is a political commissar. He is known as the "three troika" along with Zhukov and Rokosovsky; he, Marshal Rokosovsky, the "Eternal Victory Marshal worshipped by the Soviet military and civilians, during the war, commanded a series of battles and won most of them; he, Bulganin, Deputy Minister of the Soviet Armed Forces Department, a commander of the front line, has never served as the commander of the front line before.

The marshal of the official also served as the president of the Bank of the Soviet Union; he, General Kuznetsov, the People's Commissar of the Soviet Navy and the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, was equivalent to the Redel of the Soviet Union. The people just mentioned together formed the Soviet People's Committee for National Defense to exercise military power during the war. We believe that except for Temusinggo and Burganin, the rest served as front-level commanders and prepared an unprecedented counterattack in the preparation of the army in the heart of the Soviet Union."

Intelligence is of vital significance in war. During Andri's speech, everyone here listened with an extremely serious attitude, and it was felt that the generals of the empire were in awe of these former enemies. Rokosovsky organized and commanded the Battle of Smolensk, the Battle of Moscow, the Battle of Stalingrad, the Battle of Kurs, the Battle of Belarus, the Battle of East Prussia, the Battle of East Pomerania and the Battle of Berlin. These battles and battles were all Emperor*

*The scars in the hearts of the staff. At this moment, Lin En felt that his colleagues around him were happy to see the Western Allies teach the Soviets a painful lesson, but these imperial generals who suffered from the Soviet army in the war probably also realized that the Soviet army's step-by-step concessions were very likely to be a counterattack of unprecedented scale, as Andri said at the end, they were planning an unprecedented counterattack. If nothing unexpected happens, the Western Allies led by the United States and Britain will soon suffer, and the course and ending of this war are full of imagination.

When General Bernbeck and Andri introduced the war situation and the Soviet political situation respectively, the head of state who did not say a word obviously had his own ideas. When he made the final arrangement, he suddenly admitted that all the strategic preparations of the empire were behind time, but the revival of the empire must not be delayed. Given that the nuclear explosion in the Norwegian Sea had made it generally believed that the second country on this planet had already mastered atomic bomb technology (only some Soviets firmly believed that this was a conspiracy directed and self-acted by the United States), when the empire's flag was raised in the northern part of the Scandinavian Peninsula at the right time, even if the refining of the concentrate was concentrated.

Uranium is not enough to fit an atomic bomb, and it is necessary to announce to the outside world that the empire has mastered "more than four atomic bombs", display disc aircraft to the outside world and claim that they can carry atomic bombs to attack any target in the world, and use these two powerful tools as strategic deterrence to "defend the enemy outside the country's gates." If there is a life-and-death person forcibly attacking, then use another method of nuclear explosion in the Norwegian Sea to intimidate. With a clear main idea, the head of state set an accurate time for this great revival: January 1, which was the 5th anniversary of his ascension to the throne of the German Chancellor and the 5th anniversary of the birth of the Third Reich.

At the official meeting of the Imperial Base Camp, when the head of state announced this clear order, many generals, including Rommel, felt unprecedented pressure, because they only had 17 months to build an Imperial Guard, which was less than one army-scale, into a national defense force that could resist strong enemies. The lack of personnel was not the most deadly. The key is that the old military-industrial system had been crushed into powder by the strategic bombing of the Allied forces. At the end of the war, only military factories in Northern Europe, Spain and South America were retained and continued. The current annual output was enough to maintain the supply of the Guards. If the troops were expanded from now on, the recruits would not even have enough equipment to form a standard infantry division!
