"Yes, young general!" Oshima Hiro seemed extremely excited. In his opinion, the most mysterious general in Germany had begun to open his heart to him. This was a good start, wasn't it? Oshima Hiro cleared his throat and looked around. Lin Wei understood and ordered Robert C. Crawford not to let anyone in.
There was no one else in the office. In order to show his attitude, Lin Wei gave Oshima Hiro a cup of tea. Looking at Lin Wei's skillful movements, Oshima Hiro exclaimed, "I didn't expect that the general is also a master of tea ceremony. Look. The rumors are good, you are indeed one of the rare wise men in Europe!"
wise? It is the most unwise to form an alliance with Japan. You can't help Germany at all, Lin Wei secretly thought. After finishing it, Lin Wei sat aside and waited for the military diplomat to start a long speech. Lin Wei sincerely hoped in his heart that Oshima Hiroshi would not always mention some clichés to Hit? Lin Wei has seen many of Le's picture-perfect conversations. If Hiroshi Oshima wanted to describe to Lin Wei the blueprint for Japan and Germany to dominate the world, Lin Wei might be more reasonable than what he described, and it is not certain who deceived whom.
"In order to contain the Soviet Union, Japan and Germany must sign a treaty." Hiroshi Oshima took a sip of tea and said, "During the Russo-Japanese War, because Russia signed the treaty with Germany, Russia had no worries and mobilized its ace troops to fight in the Far East. , causing the Japanese army to suffer a great deal. In World War I, in turn, because Japan declared war on Germany, Russia could confidently and boldly attack the Germans. Therefore, if Japan and Germany become allies this time, they will By forcing the Soviet Union to fight on both sides, it will not be so easy for it to interfere in the policies of Japan and Germany!"
Haha... Lin Wei laughed out loud after hearing Oshima Hiro's words, "Mr. Oshima Hiro, why did you say this? Our relationship with the Soviet Union has always been very good. I think you should have heard that on Stalin's birthday At that time, the head of state once gave Stalin a warm congratulation, and Stalin's reply was that the friendship between Germany and the Soviet Union is made of blood! When Germany attacked Western Europe, the soldiers ate Soviet food and the tanks were filled with Soviet food. Oil, relations between Germany and the Soviet Union are so good, why go to war?"
At this time, Lin Wei kept listing the various cooperations between the Soviet Union and Germany since the 1920s, and wanted to know what Oshima Hiro thought about this. For Germany, Japan's role is really limited, and what is even more hateful is that Japan has used limited Military power has given Germany an almost invincible opponent, and that is the United States. Germany's original allies, Japan and Italy, Lin Wei didn't like any of them. One of them knew how to hold back, and the other knew how to cause trouble. If he had a choice, Lin Wei would rather find the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom as allies, but in his sleep.
"Dear General, are the hundreds of thousands of German troops in Poland standing guard?" Hiro Oshima seemed to be very dissatisfied with Lin Wei's attitude. For him, Lin Wei's perfunctory tone should not be used on him. , because he has thoroughly touched Germany's Achilles' heel in Germany for several years. For Germany, the Soviet Union is the biggest threat, not the United Kingdom as it has always been promoted.
"Moreover, the German army's move into Romania some time ago may have made the Soviet Union feel uneasy?" Oshima Hiroshi added with a smile; "On the opposite side of Germany, the Soviet Union also deployed 150 divisions. ?And Germany also has more than one million troops in Finland, Romania and Poland. I really can’t think of two so-called friendly countries in the world who would do this!"
Lin Wei closed his eyes and thought for a while, then asked in a low voice, "Mr. Hiro Oshima, if a war breaks out between Europe and the Soviet Union? Can you guarantee that Japan can participate in the war? If not, Germany does not need Japan. You know, Germany Germany's army is much stronger than Japan's. Today, more than a dozen countries have fallen at the feet of Germany. With all due respect, Japan's army can only be strong in Asia for a while!"
Hiroshi Oshima looked a little embarrassed. After staying in Germany for such a long time, Hiroshi Ohshima certainly knew the gap between Japan and European countries in terms of army. There was no way around it. Japan itself had no resources and could only use them for protection. On top of your own navy. The Army is far behind. This cannot be compensated by the so-called bushido spirit. Just like the Battle of Nomonkan, a more fanatical fighting spirit will only make the death toll larger.
As if seeing Hiro Oshima's embarrassment, Lin Wei smiled and said, "Mr. Hiro Oshima, what help can Japan give Germany? If Germany and the Soviet Union go to war, Japan will definitely join the war! Only then will I give Japan a secret treaty!" "
"Why a secret treaty?" Oshima Hiro said dissatisfied, "Is Japan's value only limited to a secret treaty?"
You are really smart! Lin Wei mentally confirmed Oshima Hiro's idea, but he still had a sincere expression on his face, "In Europe, Germany has France and Italy? Japan is too far away from Germany. If something happens, Germany will not have time to rescue. Japan! Therefore, Germany cannot allow Japan and Germany to become allies on the surface, which will anger other countries, especially the United States and the Soviet Union!"
Lin Wei had an expression of "I do good for you", as if he had regarded Japan as an ally of Germany, and he would only sign a secret treaty for the sake of Japan's safety. Inside and outside the words, the three sentences were inseparable from the influence of the United States, the attitude of the United States, and the things of the United States. He gave Oshima Hiro eye drops with all his strength.
Finally, Lin Wei told Oshima Hiro that Germany would only form an alliance with Japan if Japan had to respond to Germany's participation in the war. Oshima Hiro said that he would ask the Japanese cabinet for instructions on this matter. Lin Wei said that he was always waiting for good news from Oshima Hiro. , Finally, with the guests and hosts enjoying themselves, Oshima Hiroshi left Lin Wei's office.
After Oshima Hiro left, Lin Wei thought about Japan's diplomatic strategy and whether it would peacefully coexist with the United States. The conclusion was that it was impossible. In a word, Japan was dead. The choice faced by Germany is both simple and difficult. If a decisive victory is achieved within two years, Germany will not be afraid of the United States. The price paid will be to sell Japan. If the war is protracted, it will be dangerous. However, Lin Wei still believes that if Germany can muster enough strength, the Soviet Union will not be a problem at all, Hit? The fact that Le dared to attack the Soviet Union showed that between Germany and the Soviet Union, Germany was not at a disadvantage.
"Come here, clean up my office!" Lin Wei suddenly shouted.
Robert C. Crawford responded and came in. He took a look at the office where there was only some soot on the ground. Robert C. Crawford knew with his butt that this was caused by his own leader. He said aggrievedly, " The office is very clean…”
"I told you to clean it up!" Lin Wei, who had already left the door, put his head back and said.
Lin Wei still has something to do now, and that is the atomic bomb project. It has to be said that Germany's actions towards the Jews have made many Jewish scientists want to leave Germany. Lin Wei has been prepared for this. All Jews with a university degree or above have They cannot leave Germany. Although many academic authorities and Jewish scientists have tried, the Gestapo has come to warn them that if they insist on leaving Germany, Germany will not be responsible for safety issues on the road. It is to tell these people clearly that if they leave Germany, the only thing leaving Germany will be their corpses.
Not only that, Lin Wei also used a lot of force to monitor every move of some scientists. If these people intend to escape, they will be placed under house arrest immediately. Starting from Germany, if a country is not captured, the Gestapo will immediately arrive. The country's scientist gate must try its best to control all scientists, so up to now, although many scientists still have fled to the United States, there are even more scientists detained by the SS.
Lin Wei is basically satisfied with the actions of his subordinates. Although it is impossible for these foreign scientists to serve Germany, Lin Wei is not interested. As long as they do not fall into the hands of the United States, they can serve the United States. alright. Now Germany's start is obviously faster than that of the United States. As long as it develops steadily, it will not be defeated in Waterloo.
As soon as the war broke out, Germany launched a research program on the atomic bomb. At that time, in 1939, Germany was the only country in the world carrying out such a military application project of atomic energy. Germany occupies the largest uranium mine in the world (in Czechoslovakia), Germany has the most powerful chemical industry in the world, and they still have the best scientists in the world. The phenomenon of atomic fission is the result of two Germans - Otto? Hahn) and Fritz Strassmann discovered it the previous year, both of whom were still in Germany. Hahn would later win the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for this discovery. Of course, there are more than just these two people. Germany also has Laue (Nobel Prize in Physics in 1914), Porter (Bothe, Nobel Prize in Physics in 1954), Geiger (the inventor of the Geiger counter, who conducted alpha scattering experiments), Weizack , Bugg, Dibner, Gerlach, Woz. Of course, Germany also has Heisenberg, one of the greatest physicists of the 20th century. All these scientists involved in Hit? Le's atomic bomb program and became a member of the "Uranium Club". Heisenberg was the overall person in charge of this program.
In Hit? After strangulation, many institutions developing new weapons fell into the hands of Lin Wei, especially the Atomic Energy Agency, which made Lin Wei very helpless because few people in the German military and government leaders believed in the theory of the atomic bomb. Power, if others in other institutions still want to compete with Lin Wei for leadership, it would be natural for the IAEA to fall into Lin Wei's hands. No one believes these scientists. In people's eyes, they are simply crazy.
So in the next half month, Lin Wei went to the current German Atomic Energy Agency, just to meet the members who are currently leading the German atomic energy program. Regarding the famous Heisenberg, Lin Wei was a little helpless because Heisenberg His attitude towards the war against Germany is ambiguous. Until now, Lin Wei still doesn’t know whether Heisenberg hates the war or the National Socialist Party. If Heisenberg only criticizes the National Socialist Party’s attitude, this matter also has If he is dissatisfied with Germany's war, Lin Wei must consider replacing the person in charge of the atomic energy program.
When meeting this scientist who was full of mysteries in history, Lin Wei carefully chose to remain silent. Although Lin Wei believed in the existence of this weapon, he did not understand the principles of the atomic bomb. If Lin Wei could still be a member of the Krupp family, If he learned some knowledge, it obviously did not include this kind of high-end knowledge. Lin Wei's father, Gustav, was just a guy who was interested in explosives.
"Dear Mr. Heisenberg, do you know how likely the atomic bomb project is to succeed?" When treating Heisenberg, Lin Wei used honorifics as much as possible. This kind of person who is destined to be remembered by history, Lin Wei Wei still needs to show enough respect. Although Lin Wei is likely to be remembered by history, it is uncertain whether he will be remembered in shame or in glory. ,
"If there are sufficient funds and support, it can be successful!" Heisenberg replied slowly, making Lin Wei confused about his thoughts.
"There is no problem, Mr. Heisenberg!" Lin Wei promised, "Starting from today, I guarantee that the research facilities and funds here can reach the limit that any country in the world can provide! Whatever Mr. Heisenberg needs, Germany can provide it." Give me what!"
Heisenberg was obviously surprised by Lin Wei's statement. After all, most people now don't believe that such a powerful weapon would appear in the world. Isn't the young general in front of him afraid that these facilities and funds will be wasted? However, having sufficient funds is a good thing no matter how you say it. Heisenberg expressed his gratitude, which is nothing more than some words that will definitely produce results.
"If there is a problem, Mr. Heisenberg can raise it and I can solve it!" Lin Wei accidentally spoke nonsense again, but he didn't notice it.
Heisenberg already knew that Germany was no longer Hit? Forget it, it turns out that the German Emperor Wilhelm II has returned to China. Heisenberg has always wanted to meet Wilhelm II and raise the Jewish issue with him. After all, many famous German scientists are Jews. In Semburg's view, it would be best if these people could serve Germany. However, Heisenberg had some doubts about the young general in front of him. Lin Wei had always executed Hit without hesitation? Although the appearance of demanding orders appeared, Heisenberg still did not trust Lin Wei.
"If I say let those Jews go, will the general seize me in the concentration camp?" Heisenberg said very seriously.
Lin Wei did not expect Heisenberg to raise this issue. At the same time, Lin Wei determined a problem for Heisenberg, that is, Heisenberg only opposed some policies of the National Socialist Party, not the war in Germany. Then the matter would be solved. , Lin Wei replied, "Mr. Heisenberg, I know that many of your colleagues are Jews. You can let them return to Germany. I can guarantee that they can live their original lives again after they come back. As for the Jewish issue, , Mr. Heisenberg, you may not be well informed. Although we are still arresting Jews, we have decided to release some innocent Jews. I went to Damon Concentration Camp some time ago and have already released a number of them. Guilty Jews, soon you will find Jews being released in large numbers!"
"Is this true? Thank God, Germany finally did not do anything wrong!" Heisenberg said excitedly when he heard Lin Wei's words.
"Yeah, we never wanted to do anything to the Jews!" Lin Wei had a sincere expression. Anyway, all the records had been destroyed by Lin Wei, and no one knew how many Jews had died. Now Lin Wei can say whatever he wants.
"Mr. Heisenberg, I give you four years. I hope to see the success of the atomic bomb!" Lin Wei said, "Germany now needs weapons that can protect the fruits of victory. There is no more ideal weapon than the atomic bomb!"
"Based on the energy we calculated, this weapon is terrible! I still hope it will not be used in war!" Heisenberg said.
Then Heisenberg said a lot of things that Lin Wei couldn't understand. It was extremely difficult to separate the rare isotope uranium-235 from natural uranium. But only uranium-235 is unstable and easily fissionable, while its isotope uranium-238 is not. Therefore, the concentration of uranium-235 must be increased to trigger a sustainable reaction, otherwise all neutrons will be absorbed by uranium-238. However, uranium 238 accounts for more than 99% of natural uranium, so it is extremely difficult to separate that bit of uranium 235 with current technology.
After listening for a long time, Lin Wei understood. Heisenberg was really looking for an excuse to say that he had not developed an atomic bomb earlier, or to make Lin Wei believe that such a weapon could not be built now. Lin Wei knew how terrible this kind of weapon was. Isn’t it true that the United States Was Stalin very angry because he had him, who had the upper hand in the early years of the Cold War and was forced to have the upper hand in conventional power in Europe? So this kind of excuse has no effect in front of Lin Wei. Since Lin Wei has promised to give full support, he naturally believes that this terrible weapon can be built. If the United States can, why can't Germany? The talents of both sides are similar. It's just that Germany doesn't have as many resources as the United States, and no one pays attention to the atomic bomb program. Lin Wei doesn't believe that Germany would not have developed an atomic bomb earlier if it had money and people.
"Mr. Heisenberg, I believe you can do it. After a while, I will let you meet some scientists from other countries!" Lin Wei said, "I believe that by gathering the top scientists in Europe, we can definitely create something new." To develop this weapon, by the way, Mr. Heisenberg, I must remind you that once the atomic bomb is developed, it will protect the entire Europe, including many countries including France and Italy. This is an offensive weapon, and It's a defensive weapon!" With Heisenberg's doubtful expression, Lin Wei ended the conversation and turned to visit other facilities.
