Chapter 218: In Great Britain (8)
"Is it Winston, the old bastard?" Edward VIII cursed, clearly in a terrible mood.
"It is not clear whether the United States is using the Canadian authorities to make trouble, or whether the Canadian side is acting alone, at least from the technical characteristics of this bomb, it is not our technology, but it seems to be the technology of the United States, although from the mines to the receiver are all British goods, but the technical characteristics cannot deceive people!" ”
The black cat was stunned for a moment, and then nodded slightly, Menzies's words seemed to negate his own inference on the surface, but in fact he fully affirmed that it was the Qiu Kee government that made the difference between making trouble on the orders of the United States or making trouble on its own in order to fish in troubled waters.
"All these conspirators should be arrested!"
"Your Majesty, do you need to inform the Germans immediately?"
"Briefing, to put it mildly, the point is to let the Germans know that we have put a lot of effort into security, and not to let the Führer mistakenly think that we are permissive or condoning this outcome."
"One more thing," Menzies expressed his concern, "the Führer's itinerary and convoy plans may need to change frequently, and I suspect that we have a conspiracy within us, otherwise how could the sabotage group know so clearly and in detail?" ”
This gave Attlee another headache, and there are many people who know this news: the internal affairs system and the police system need to know before they can carry out targeted security, where will they go to investigate for a while?
"The counter-espionage mission will be handed over to MI5, as for the itinerary, I respect the Führer's opinion, and he will flexibly dispatch the 1,800-strong guards under his command, even if the road is changed temporarily, it will not cause the problem of insufficient police force, and you will still carry it out as originally planned."
When the news of the capture of the saboteur was delivered to Darges, he froze for a moment, and then quickly handed the information to Hoffman, who nodded, he expected that there would be some problems, but he did not expect them to be exposed so quickly. He asked, "Is there anyone who is suspicious?" Is it the U.S. or Canadian government? ”
"They didn't say this, they just said that everything was being investigated and reminded us to be careful"
"Führer, we have checked, there are no bugs in this house, and there are guards and flags all around, you can rest assured of course, since this has happened, I strongly recommend that you move to the battleship Lion tonight."
"I can't go today." Hoffman smiled, "I just left after an incident, firstly, it seems that we are too timid, and secondly, I have to at least give the black cat a little face, and I will at least stay here for one night." As for tomorrow, it's up to you. ”
"I think Comrade Himmler's suggestion is very good, Führer, let the stand-in stay here for you, right? When do you go on a beach tour in the evening? Bowman proposed,
"Yesterday I was scared all night and didn't sleep well, sure enough, this kind of thing happened, for the sake of safety, you must be cautious, this is the unanimous request of the comrades."
Hoffman hesitated, and finally nodded: today's itinerary is very clear, he is free to rest in the morning, he will go to the Diet in the afternoon to deliver a political speech to Britain, which will last for an hour, and after the end, he will visit several important people, and in the evening he will accept the banquet of Edward VIII and make a public appearance, and the golden cicada can be unshelled when he returns.
Although the Führer had escaped numerous assassinations in his life, Hoffman did not dare to say that he had such good luck, and he believed that his sense of smell for assassinations was dull, so it was better to adopt a foolproof approach.
"I won't tell the British about the stand-in, I always suspect that they are all spies inside, and the leakage is like a big sieve." Himmler muttered dissatisfiedly, "It's less reliable than the Italians, at least we don't worry so much about your trip to Rome." ”
Hoffman smiled, although the Italians are unreliable, but Italy and Germany are friends in the same trench after all, how can they think of starting? Britain is still at work because of two Britain.
The families to visit in the afternoon are all very important: one is the family of Lieutenant General Montgomery, who was personally seen off by Hoffmann, Mussolini and other high-ranking Axis leaders at that funeral, and it is necessary for him to go to pay his condolences again; One is Marshal Pound, the leader of the Royal Navy who died at the hands of the Americans, and he is going to vent his anger for the old marshal and give the Americans some eye medicine by the way.
The last one who was not so sure, and he was also having a headache, was Admiral Cunningham, who died directly at the hands of the German Navy, and it was very decidable whether to visit or not, and what to say during the visit.
"I'm calling you for a meeting early in the morning, and I have one thing to communicate with you other than security." Hoffman paused for a moment and said slowly, "How do we build our intelligence network on the island of Britain?" ”
As soon as the Führer talked about this, everyone became interested and suggested one after another, and finally formed a consensus on several points, which Hoffman thought were all good, and suggested taking advantage of the favorable conditions of having a garrison at this stage to place them, but he stressed: "The current goal is to spy on intelligence and obtain military, political, economic, and technological information, and do not consider anything else for the time being."
At half past nine, the crowd politely took their leave, and went to the front station for Hoffman to speak to the Parliament, and Skorzny also wanted to prepare, but then he was called to Hoffman's room by Daldgs, who had expected the Führer to give an account of his security, but Hoffman was a little surprised by what he blurted out.
"Otto, I may have a new mission to give you, and after this visit, you will prepare for Germany, and then you will go on a new mission."
"Yes, I'll do my best," he asked in a whisper, "can you let me know what the task is?"
"Let you know." Hoffman said slowly, "We have information that the Americans are developing a high-powered bomb, a weapon that can turn the tide of the war, and it may be 36 months before it can be successfully built, and I hope you can lead the commando team to destroy it." ”
Otto gasped: "You want me to steal it?" ”
"No, just like Operation Skythunder, just destroy them. But the tricky question is, how do you get in and out of it? ”
"It doesn't matter, I can not evacuate, what Chief Ranke can do, I can do it, for the sake of Germany, I have nothing to fear, even if I am broken."
Hoffman nodded with satisfaction: "I am going to escort you over at the turn of December, when we will have a good fight in Central America and the United States, it may be more effective to take advantage of this chaotic opportunity, you have to be mentally prepared first, that place is very big, you can't rely on you alone, I will prepare the strength of cooperation." ”
"Just bomb it with a plane like last time, and we'll make up for the rest!" After receiving the assignment, Skoltsny reminded himself that the priority was to be in charge of the Führer's security, and then the operation, which made him feel that after a few months of being idle in England, he suddenly had a different goal.
Hoffmann, of course, did not want to explain the matter on a whim, but took the opportunity of an inspection trip to the east before the trip, he inspected the superbomb project and learned about the development from the side, although everything was in order, but even if it was driven to the maximum speed, Heisenberg thought that it would not be possible to complete it before the end of March 1945, and perhaps even postpone it until the end of June, which gave him a sense of urgency.
He knew that the atomic bomb was successfully built in early July in the history of the United States, but that was only because the United States had already won the game and did not have a strong motivation and enthusiasm to accelerate the atomic bomb project, and now the United States is at a disadvantage in terms of overall strategy, and any ruler will definitely accelerate this project as long as his brain is not broken, and it is unknown how long it can be advanced, and he does not dare to bet that the German atomic bomb will definitely come out before the United States, nor does he dare to bet that the United States will only make three atomic bombs as it has done in history.
