When visiting the research institute, Lin Wei still discovered some problems. The security level here was really poor. If an elite commando team rushed in, it would be possible to kill all of Germany's most cutting-edge scientists. Such an obvious loophole is obviously closely related to the lack of attention to the atomic bomb plan. No wonder Germany's heavy water plants and other measures were always raided by the Allies in history. Lin Wei sighed as he glanced at the guarding soldiers who were obviously out of shape.
After leaving the institute, Lin Wei called his adjutant Crawford to come over and said, "Replace all the workers in the factories supporting the institute. It cannot be said that the people used must be workers who have become members of the National Socialist Party. , but they must be those who support the war currently being carried out by Germany! Screen out for me a group of pure-bred Germans whose ancestors have been Germans for at least two hundred years, understand?" Although he hated this, Lin Wei still couldn't help it. There is no need to use methods that I don't want to use. Although I understand that it is stupid to distinguish loyalty by ethnicity, it is undeniable that this is a simple and practical method. Behaviors such as the Czechs adding sand to German artillery shells and anti-war activists deliberately adding impurities to German graphite must be stopped.
"But, leader! It's not easy to find these numbers of workers!" Crawford said with a frown.
Lin Wei, who had almost reached the car, heard this, paused and said to the sky, "If it doesn't work, just transfer people from the Krupp family. Are the workers here so high-end? Can't they be replaced elsewhere? Crawford, remember Stay, from today on, this is a forbidden area. If anyone wants to enter here without permission, no warning is needed, they can be shot directly!"
After thinking about it for a while, Lin Wei still felt that it was not safe and said, "You and Lewis, tell me to transfer the Adolf Hitler Youth Division to garrison. Anyway, I don't expect those children to go to the battlefield. As long as the safety here is guaranteed, they It’s all a contribution to Germany!”
Crawford was shocked. In the pace of SS army expansion, there were two divisions that were not included in the establishment. No one could ask where they were operating. One was the Gestapo division secretly prepared by Lin Wei and Heydrich. , one is Adolf Hit, who Lin Wei once said that he would never be sent to the battlefield? Le Special Youth Division.
As Lin Wei's adjutant, Crawford certainly knew the role of these two divisions. In a sense, the troops of these two divisions are not SS combat troops at all. They are different from other newly formed troops. Adolf Hitt? The Le Special Youth Division is all boys born in 1923. According to the law, they are not yet adults. Lin Wei organized this unit, but never intended to use it on the battlefield. Lin Wei also said to Crawford Revealed privately.
Another unit was also the recently formed Gestapo division, which was more powerful than Adolf Hitt? The young division of Lett is more mysterious, at least Adolf Hitt? The Le Special Youth Division also bears the title of a special division, and the Gestapo Division is known to few officers below the SS division commander at all, because the general combat target of the Gestapo Division is not foreign armies, but to find traitors. If a certain unit surrenders or commits treason, the troops with the G letter on their chests may be the first to come.
Now I heard that Adolf Hitt is going to be hired? When Young Division Le Special was transferred, Crawford felt there was a bit of a fuss. Looking at the unassuming-looking institute, Crawford muttered, "Isn't it a bit of a fuss? Two to thirty thousand people were transferred here to guard a research institute." How many factories are included in the research institute?”
Lin Wei squinted at his adjutant and said rarely, "You don't understand the value of this place. If this place is destroyed, prepare to go to a concentration camp!" When the word concentration camp came out of Lin Wei's mouth, he immediately Crawford broke out in a cold sweat. He knew that his leader was right on his word. Last time the Northern Mountain Division failed to capture the Norwegian royal family, the leader almost asked Michel Gabermeier to go there. Check out the warehouse. Although this was not done later, the commander of the Northern Mountain Division was replaced. The current commander became Major General Shad Herman. Michel Gebermeier was transferred to serve as the division commander of the newly formed unit.
After what happened to Michel Gebermeier in Norway, all SS officers now know that their leader hates losers, especially capable losers.
After inspecting the Atomic Bomb Research Institute, it was just one of Lin Wei's itineraries. In three months, Lin Wei met with almost all current weapons manufacturers in Germany. So after coming out of the Atomic Bomb Research Institute, Lin Wei went to Messerschmitt. Although the name was Messerschmitt, Lin Wei owned a larger company than Messerschmitt in this company. shares, with the German war effort in full swing, especially the full production of the Me-109 fighter jet, Lin Wei’s investment at that time had already been recovered. After such a long time, Lin Wei came to Bavaria again, just to see Let’s see if Dr. Messerschmitt can surprise himself again.
When he saw Dr. Messerschmitt again, Lin Wei could clearly feel that Dr. Messerschmitt had turned gray. It seemed that while Lin Wei was away, Dr. Messerschmitt was still working on the plan day and night. Aircraft, just seeing some experimental prototypes, Lin Wei knew that the aircraft manufacturing factory here has never been idle.
Dr. Messerschmitt was obviously very happy to see Lin Wei. Lin Wei originally thought that Dr. Messerschmitt was resentful of his behavior of picking peaches. After all, facts have now proven that the fighter jet designed by Dr. Messerschmitt is It is very suitable for the combat needs of the German Air Force. It is normal for Dr. Messerschmitt to be dissatisfied.
However, Lin Wei only thought from his own side, and Dr. Messerschmitt thought that although there were factors in the success of his works, his experience of being excluded in his early years was no longer centered on himself. The reason why the Air Force has so many Subscribing to the Me-109 fighter jet, of course there are factors for the success of the aircraft, but Lin Wei's factor in it is also indispensable. So instead of having any problems with Lin Wei, they became very close to her from the beginning of their meeting, which was beyond Lin Wei's expectation.
Accompanied by Dr. Messerschmitt, Lin Wei spent a day visiting the current Messerschmitt Company, which was the original Bavarian aircraft manufacturing plant. He visited several prototypes and watched Messerschmitt Flying show arranged by Dr. Schmitt. After learning that Lin Wei was here, some officials from Bavaria quickly appeared here. Lin Wei was confused for a long time before he remembered that he was still the Prime Minister of Bavaria. No wonder these people came so quickly.
After staying here for a few days, Dr. Messerschmitt hurriedly came to see Lin Wei one day and took out something that made Lin Wei ecstatic. The drawings that were obviously different from the piston fighter made Lin Wei's heart skip a beat. After observing the aerodynamic layout on the drawings, Lin Wei finally confirmed that this was an early jet fighter.
Although Lin Wei didn't know the meaning of this, Lin Wei could still see that it was obviously different from the drawings of piston fighter jets. However, Lin Wei still carefully confirmed, "A new fighter jet? He doesn't look like it does now." These fighter jets?”
"Of course not!" Dr. Messerschmitt said proudly, "This is a completely new fighter, a layout and design that is completely different from the current fighter. I can guarantee that once it is released, it will be shocking. Compared with the victory we have achieved now, this is an aircraft that completely surpasses the current fighter jets in every aspect!"
"Oh!" Lin Wei clapped his hands symbolically to show encouragement. However, I somewhat disagree with what Dr. Messerschmitt said. No weapon will gain absolute advantage over the original weapon in the early morning. There is no exception to this. It took two hundred years of struggle for the musketeers to gradually replace the archers. During the Napoleonic Wars, the musketeers did not have a complete advantage over the cavalry. The magic weapon of Napoleon's rampage in Europe was artillery and cavalry, not musketeers.
Only a person like Dr. Messerschmitt, who had no experience in war, would expect too much from a new weapon. Although he disagreed with what Dr. Messerschmitt said, Lin Wei still guaranteed that there would be no problems with funding. This weapon is unlikely to be of any help to Germany in the short term, but its value will indeed be in the future. If Lin Wei If there is a future, I will definitely earn back hundreds of times the money I invested today. In the long run, this is a profitable business, and Lin Wei has no reason to refuse.
Although he knew it was impossible, Lin Wei still hoped that Dr. Messerschmitt could mass-produce this new fighter as soon as possible. The sooner this fighter enters service, the greater the help it will be to Germany.
In fact, Lin Wei still hopes that the Messerschmitt-262 fighter jet will appear early. Every World War II military fan laments the fate of the Messerschmitt-262 fighter jet. It is the first aircraft used in actual combat in the history of human aviation. jet fighter. Its roaring jet engines and swept wings showed a new direction in the development of fighter aircraft, and also opened a new page in the history of air combat. Although the Me-262 is regarded as the last resort of the desperate German Air Force, and its production capacity is far from meeting the needs to reverse the war situation, the actual combat process in less than a year has proved that it is worthy of a powerful combat weapon. airplane. If he could serve earlier, if he could mass-produce it, and if he could let future generations of military fans imagine it, and if he could see it born with his own eyes, it would definitely be the best thing for Lin Wei.
After staying in Bavaria for less than half a month, Lin Wei started his journey again. This time, although the location Lin Wei went to was not as mysterious as the Atomic Energy Research Institute, it was much more mysterious at this time than the aircraft manufacturing plant in Bavaria. It is a chemical factory affiliated to the Farben Chemical Company. It is known to the outside world as a factory that manufactures pesticides, but it actually produces murderous agents. Tabun and sarin are the main poison gases produced by the Farben Chemical Company.
In 1936, Dr. Gerhard Schrader synthesized tabun for the first time, and he himself was slightly poisoned early the next year and became tabun's earliest victim. However, the Farben Chemical Company began to manufacture tabun, but soon in 1938, sarin was successfully developed for the first time by Schrader, Ambrose, Lüdiger, and van der Linde in Germany. At that time, sarin Merely a by-product of the production of pesticides, this poison is named "Sarin" after the five letters of the last names of the four people mentioned above. Germany soon discovered the military value of this poison gas and put it into production. At the same time, production of Tabun began to cease, and Farben Chemical Company began to switch to large-scale production of sarin.
Sarin has three main effects on the body: First, it selectively inhibits cholinesterase activity, causing acetylcholine (Ach) to accumulate in the body, causing cholinergic nervous system dysfunction; second, the poison acts on cholinergic receptors ; The third is the effect of poisons on the non-cholinergic nervous system. Sarin is an organophosphate that destroys the neurotransmitter acetylcholine esteramide in the body. All autonomous and non-self muscle movements of organisms are a balance between acetylcholine and acetylcholine esteramide. If this balance is destroyed, the muscles will only Contraction without the ability to expand.
It will mainly paralyze the respiratory system, miosis, severe pain in the gastrointestinal tract, and a large amount of discharge from the ducts that secrete tears, sweat and saliva. Death will be very painful, and the onset of death will take about 2 minutes if the dose is sufficient.
Once Sarin came out, it immediately surpassed the effectiveness of Tabun nerve agent and entered the German military's sight. However, it was ultimately used to cleanse Jews and was not used in the war. From one aspect, Germany did not use this weapon to kill people in the war, which will undoubtedly alleviate Germany's sins after the war, but if Lin Wei had a choice, if the same poison gas could win the war, Lin Wei would not hesitate to use it. You must know that after Germany's defeat, there were still nearly 600,000 tons of various poisonous gases in the entire Germany.
People will condemn some weapons for various reasons, but they use them all the time. Just imagine if China used poison gas again now, the Japanese would never dare to use China's unscrupulous use of poison gas. It is precisely because of China Without the ability to manufacture poison gas bombs, Japan would dare to use poison gas bombs to kill Chinese soldiers and civilians without any scruples.
Through a thick layer of glass, Lin Wei watched with his own eyes a group of animals being poisoned and died within two minutes. Lin Wei turned around and asked von Schnitzler, the head of Farben Chemical Company, "How old is Sarin now?" How much is the production and how much is the inventory now?”
"There are now 300,000 tons in stock. As you know, we have already started producing in the name of pesticides!" Von Schnitzler said, "The annual output can reach 50,000 tons. Now we are still producing I have never heard of other countries developing the same poisonous gas!"
"In other words, after we use it on the battlefield, we don't have to worry about others using poison gas to retaliate against Germany? Is that right?" Lin Wei asked.
"That's right, General!" Von Schnitzler replied affirmatively.
"Do we still have contact with DuPont Chemical Company in the United States?" Lin Wei suddenly thought of a question. If there is no war between the United States and Germany, some companies in Germany can smuggle military raw materials, and they can use this line to engage in Bigger smuggling.
"Huh?" Von Schnitzler was stunned for a moment and said, "We Farben have no contact with the Dupont family now, but Degussa should still have contact with them!" Von Schnitzler approached Lin Wei He whispered in his ear, "Is the Krupp family also planning to get involved?" He looked like he was treating Lin Wei as a profiteer, which made Lin Wei a little depressed. People who seek benefits for their own family.
So Lin Wei replied, "If possible, I hope sir can contact me for me!"
"I understand!" Von Schnitzler looked like everyone understood, and continued to introduce the products of Farben Chemical Company to Lin Wei.
In addition to the poisonous gas from Farben Chemical Company, another reason why Lin Wei came here is to visit the synthetic fuel factory of Farben Chemical Company. Synthetic fuel is simply coal refining. Through decarbonization and hydrogenation, coal can be Direct or indirect conversion into high-quality fuel suitable for transportation, one method is coking or pyrolysis, the other method is liquefaction. Since the cost of converting coal into ** fuel is higher than the cost of refining crude oil, but the price of raw coal itself is relatively low, this is a major incentive factor for the implementation of coal liquefaction technology.
However, it is not that Germany cannot afford oil, but after the war begins, Germany's transportation lines will be cut off, so coal refining technology must be developed. Oil is not expensive internationally now, and Germany can still afford it, but the key is The United States, the largest oil producer, sells only a drop of oil to Germany. Especially now, during the critical period when Germany is attacking the United Kingdom, the United States has increased its control over oil exports to Germany. This has forced the development of synthetic fuels. Simply because it was surrounded during World War I, Germany's synthetic fuel technology started very early. If the war is controlled to a certain scale and the Romanian oil fields are added, Germany can solve the oil problem alone. But the war must not drag on too long.
Therefore, synthetic fuel is very important to Germany. Whether the German tank army can move freely, the production of synthetic fuel plays a huge role in it. After visiting the factory, Lin Wei asked von Schnitzler, " Uncle Schnitzler, how much synthetic fuel is produced now?"
"The current monthly output is 50,000 tons. If the war breaks out and we produce at full speed! The annual output can reach two million tons!" Von Schnitzler replied. Lin Wei was very satisfied with this number, two million tons. The number is already equal to Romania’s oil production, which can solve a lot of Germany’s problems.
