Chapter Seventy-Six: September 15th.
West Coast of the United States.
Avi Buro stood outside the factory, silent for a long, long time.
Only a few hours have passed since the bombing, and the wreckage is still burning, including factory centrifuges, wooden structures of factories, the wreckage of enemy planes, and the corpses of people.
But the firefighting has stopped.
People just watched in silence as the factory burned, whether it was the workers who had escaped, the soldiers in the vicinity, and the residents who had rushed over.
Because there is no point in rescuing anymore.
Sixteen enemy bombers rushed down with bombs and fuel, and the explosion completely destroyed this huge factory at the first time, and none of the factories survived, except for those who escaped at the beginning, the rest of the people had no chance of surviving.
"Why?"
Avi Buro asked softly.
The voice was very soft, as if he was asking himself, as if he was asking about the wreckage in front of him.
"Why?"
Shifting his gaze to the remaining steel factory gates, Avi Buro sighed again.
At the time of the bombing by the Germans, he was working at the factory.
The products produced in this factory are highly secretive, but Avi Buro is only a mechanical engineer whose job is to maintain the equipment, which is very power-hungry and prone to problems when it comes to running 24 hours a day.
He was joined by his good friend Minos Lal, an electrical engineer with a master's degree in physics from the University of California.
After the air raid sirens sounded, the factory turned off all lights in accordance with emergency procedures, and suspended the equipment, Avi Rob proposed to go out together to escape the German bombing.
The Germans must have bombed the factory, and as long as they left the factory, the probability of problems would be much reduced.
The guards won't stand in their way.
The two left the factory and walked to the parking lot to prepare to drive away, as engineers, although they were only responsible for the maintenance of machinery and equipment, they also had the ability to equip vehicles.
But his good friend, Czech-American Minos Lal, suddenly pulled a small backpack out of his vehicle and ran to the factory, telling the guards at the barbed wire fence that there was something wrong with the equipment, that it was not completely closed, and that it needed to be checked.
Before he could react, his friend had already rushed into the factory gate, and then a bright light rose from outside the gate, and Minos Lal carried a flare and lit it outside the factory gate.
The fireworks are especially bright in the night.
The guards then opened fire, killing Minosh Lahr, but the flare was still burning, and then a dozen huge bombers plunged into the factory, exploding and engulfing everything.
Thanks to his quick departure as soon as the guards opened fire, and as luck would have it, he ended up with only a few skin injuries.
But he didn't understand.
Why would your friend do this?
Although Minos Lal is of Czech origin, he only lived in the Czech Republic as a child, because after the death of his mother, he immigrated to the United States with his father before he was ten years old, and then studied hard to become a master in physics and an electrical engineer.
With his current ability, he can live well in the United States, where the work in the factory pays well and he is exempt from military service.
Why lead the Germans to bomb at the cost of their lives?
And also.
Avi Rob glanced at the wreckage of the German bomber still burning in the wreckage of the factory.
He also wondered why these Germans would be willing to pay with their lives to bomb the factory.
He looked back at the burning factory.
What exactly is produced here, so much camouflage is needed that even the Germans would rather pay such a huge price to destroy here?
"Avi Buro..."
It was at this time that several people from the US military came over:
"Can you tell us about what you saw?"
······
That night.
"What happened?"
"Why did the Germans crash into the factory with all six bombers with unerring accuracy, and turn a blind eye to the camouflage factories around them?"
In the barracks near the factory, a high-level person who came by plane to investigate asked the battalion commander here.
This factory is one of the important factories in the Manhattan Project, and after it was destroyed, it had a great impact on the plan, so it put a lot of effort into camouflage, not only the construction of a fake village on top of the factory, but also several real fake factory targets around.
"There are German spies in the factory."
The battalion commander replied:
"A Czech named Minos Lal lit a flare outside the factory gate when the German plane arrived, providing a specific location for the German bomber."
"Where's the spy?!"
The military executive's eyes flashed.
"It's dead."
The battalion commander shook his head:
"After lighting the flare, he was shot dead by the guards on the spot."
Death squads····· The senior brows furrowed.
"Why haven't you found the flare?"
The high-level looked at the battalion commander with unkind eyes.
"Minos Lahr modified his car, secretly hid flares in the car, the parking lot was outside the factory security area, where the checks were not strict, and when the bombing happened, he tricked the guards into re-entering the factory by saying that the factory machinery and equipment were down and out of order."
"That flare was also specially made, small enough to be easy to hide, and we found a lot of spy equipment hidden in his house."
The battalion commander bowed his head and explained.
In normal times, this flare would never have been able to enter the factory, not even anything that was not allowed, but at that time it was bombed, there was some chaos, and then it was caught by this spy.
"I see."
The high-ranking person glanced at the battalion commander, waved his hand, motioned for him to leave, and finally he said:
"Give me all the items that were searched from Minosh Lal's house."
Ten minutes later, the items of Minos Lal that had been searched were handed over to the high-ranking person.
After looking through the spy items in front of him, he was silent for a long time, and finally, the direct investigator from the White House frowned deeply and sighed deeply.
A real spy again.
Since Director Donovan was investigated and Director McCarthy came to power, the president and Congress launched a large-scale joint investigation into domestic spies.
He was also a member of the investigation team.
After the program began, a large-scale congressional inquiry and investigation was launched for the purpose of clarifying the colors and German spies, and in just one week, 700 people had been investigated, of whom 11 were clearly identified as spies.
All European spies.
These people are all of different statuses, from university professors to well-known engineers, and even members of the army and government employees.
But the only thing they have in common is that these are Europeans, and even if they are caught, they do not regret being European spies in the slightest, and during the interrogation they show a strong hatred of the United States.
At first he didn't understand.
How could these people become spies?
Wealth? Among them, there are many people who are rich and free, and even one of them has a large amount of assets, which can be regarded as a rich person in the United States, and there are also people with a prominent reputation and extraordinary status.
And these people were people from countries occupied by the Germans.
But as he got more and more contact, and what he learned about Europe at the moment, he got some of it.
They were all bought by the Germans.
It's not coercion.
It is not to threaten or buy with wealth, status, family, etc.
And something else.
It has nothing to do with interests, and it has nothing to do with status.
Last year, when the Germans began to implement the European Plan, prices in the occupied territories plummeted, even to twice as low as they were before the war, and at such low prices, all the necessities of life were still available on a large scale, and jobs could be easily found.
The standard of living has skyrocketed, and it is much better than it was before the war, when it was at its richest.
And then.
The Anglo-American capitalists, who were advertised as evil, earned more than 80 percent of the profits, transferred the profits to Britain and the United States, and even poured milk down the drain to control prices when prices began to fall and the economy went into trouble.
As a result, they used to have high prices, it was difficult to find a job, and their lives were difficult, and even basic security was difficult.
He instinctively felt that there was something wrong with his speech, but he couldn't find out what the problem was.
Moreover, referring to the changes in Europe before and after, even he vaguely felt that it made sense in his heart.
Otherwise, why were the Germans able to provide supplies at such a low price?
And across the ocean, the price of goods is also so low.
And not just a few months, but for nearly a year, even so cheap that they can feed livestock with staple foods such as flour, and even enough to disdain merchants to resell food supplies.
But not the United States and the United Kingdom? Compared with the other side and Europe, it is more than a little bit more expensive, especially medicines, which are exactly three or four times or even more than ten times the price.
In this contrast, it is understandable that these people volunteered to become European spies, even at the cost of their lives.
"Trouble."
He shook off the thoughts in his head and rubbed his forehead.
If you don't solve the problem from the cost, the price and cost of living, it can be expected that domestic spies, I'm afraid that they can't be caught at all, and there will be more and more, this is a country of immigrants!
Even, native-born Americans will join.
And.
Even if they win in the future, how will those who enjoy low prices and abundant jobs feel about the United States that "rescued" them?
"Report, Director McCarthy called, let's follow this person's investigation and dig up all his upper and lower lines."
At this moment, an assistant walked in and said to him.
"Got it."
The senior of the Investigation Bureau accepted the telegram and frowned as his assistant left.
I have to say.
At this time, in the United States, if there are two attributes, white and rich, the law is still relatively fair.
The Fifth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America, which states that a witness "shall not be compelled to incriminate himself in any criminal case" when under investigation, provides that a witness may refuse to answer any question when questioned by a person.
The power of judicial investigation is limited.
The phrase "I won't say anything until my lawyer arrives" in the film is the embodiment of this amendment.
However, if it is an investigation or inquiry from Congress, it cannot be circumvented, and there will be no lawyer to assist it.
This is also one of the fundamental reasons why the later "McCarthy" can wreak havoc for five years, and it is also the reason why 700 people have been investigated in less than a week, when McCarthy has not yet taken power.
And this survey, naturally, has been used by many people.
Exclude dissidents and compete for power and profit.
He doesn't like such an investigation, and he doesn't like such America.
······
Ping'an County.
Tonight the sky is fine, and a crescent moon hangs high, sprinkling the moonlight.
On the top floor of the guest house for foreign guests, Ninov looked up at the crescent moon in the sky, and his mind recalled the negotiations during the day today.
To everyone's surprise, the negotiations went well.
In just one day, all the agreements were reached, and even the conditions were very good.
Everything they need will be provided here.
Weapons and ammunition, tanks, planes, artillery, ammunition, trucks, armored vehicles, although not the most advanced, were sufficient in number, and also enough against the Germans, and even took care of part of the transport, directly transporting supplies to the medium-pressure area, as well as the Great Trans-Siberian Railway in the vicinity of the disruption.
They only needed to be transported to the front from Awax or Western Siberia.
After the emergency expansion and the import of high-horsepower locomotives from this side, the traffic of the two railways has increased dramatically, and the efficiency of loading and unloading has also increased greatly due to the change to the use of containers for ordinary materials.
It's not hard to meet the needs of the frontline.
The price is not high, all paid on site, and a flexible payment model is used.
To put it simply, they will give as much land as they consume, one side will deliver the goods, and the other side will hand over the land, so he has to stay and be responsible for the statistics of the quantity and the calculation of the territory.
But he vaguely felt that this deal was afraid... It's not that simple.
"When will this war end?"
"When will it end?"
He lowered his head, looked at the delicious snack in his hand, and sighed:
"How many people will die?"
Adequate supplies.
Not only weapons and ammunition including bullets, cannons, tanks, fuel, but also all kinds of food, medicine, and even military uniforms, shoes, and steel helmets can be provided by the other side.
How much and how much to have.
When it comes to turf, there is no one in the world who can compare with you.
And you only need to be responsible for transportation.
Such.
In China, all those who can be mobilized, those in the farms, and the factories can go to the battlefield with weapons, and sufficient supplies of all kinds can alleviate domestic contradictions, ensure the morale of the troops, and burst out with the strongest combat effectiveness.
Plenty of tanks, planes, artillery, plenty of fuel, shells, trucks, that's going to be an army that has never been stronger.
But.
The strength of the enemy is doubtful.
They also have plenty of planes, tanks, artillery, but also plenty of fuel, shells, trucks, and an army that has never been more powerful than ever.
Although pinned down by allies on the Western Front, only a portion of the enemy's forces were on the Eastern Front.
However, after so many battles, their own side has suffered heavy losses, and its internal strength has fallen to the brink of collapse, and even if it goes to the front from factories and farms, it is still a new recruit, with sufficient weapons and ammunition, and its combat effectiveness is seriously insufficient.
And the enemy is supplemented by the whole of Europe.
·····
Nighttime.
Southeast Asia.
Expeditionary Force station.
Harbor Division.
Woo woo woo · With the roar of the ship, two huge battleships gradually docked at the harbor.
"Let's rest."
In the No. 1 main gun turret, hearing the words of the deputy gun commander, the gun commander Shunnosuke Tamura, who was cleaning up with his former colleagues, hurriedly bowed his head:
"Hey."
"Yes."
He quickly changed his tune.
Dozens of people then left, and the deputy gun commander closed the turret hatch.
Leaving the warship down the stairs, on the way to the camp, Junnosuke Tamura glanced back at the giant ship, and at this time the logistics staff was already replenishing ammunition and fuel, and he sighed in his heart.
He used to be the chief gunner of the Nagato.
As the name suggests, it is a person who commands a main gun crew, and after receiving a salvo order, which of his main guns is directed to shoot at the predetermined target on time, or, when receiving the order to fire freely, can also decide the target to shoot independently.
It is the backbone of a warship.
After the crushing defeat of the Combined Fleet, he went around and around to the Far East, where he ended up being a prisoner and was sent here. Because he didn't commit any blood crimes, he wasn't imprisoned, but came here.
As the chief gunner, along with a few former colleagues, he assisted the giant ship and taught these newcomers.
At this time, one-fifth of the two warships were former Combined Fleet sailors.
Compared to the Nagato, this warship is much more powerful, more powerful, thicker armored, more accurate in sighting system, and more powerful in artillery, which is naturally more difficult to master.
He didn't know anything else, but the main gun was here, and he estimated that in half a month at most, these people would be able to master this triple cannon.
Because, just today, they are firing 300 shells with live ammunition.
Yes.
Although it was training, all their artillery groups fired three hundred shells, including salvo and single-barreled gun fire.
It's all live ammunition.
For gunners, the quick start is actually very simple, as long as the cannonball tube is enough.
