My Third Empire

Vice Admiral Lindemann of the German Navy, as the commander of the Mediterranean Squadron of the Imperial Navy, the German general who controlled the main Italian Mediterranean Fleet, received a very embarrassing combat order at this moment. 【Latest chapter reading】

He wants to choose a very good time, prepare a very perfect warship, and transport a very important cargo to a very dangerous place-of course, this is not the most frustrating thing for him, because there are still other things behind this order. There is one requirement, and that is: to ensure that enemy submarines can sink this warship carrying its vital cargo.

The German intelligence officer who first conveyed this order, Gaskle's son Gaskle Jr., is a very important figure in the intelligence department, and the combat mission he personally deployed is definitely a very important task. So Lieutenant General Lindemann was completely confused. He didn't know what he was doing and how to do it.

The transport ship you choose must be a warship, because the items transported this time are not large in size, and this warship cannot be a destroyer, because it is impossible for us to know in advance that this warship is going to be sunk. So that kind of look The small boats that are going up to avoid losses must never be used, and destroyers and light cruisers are not within the scope of choice. Gascoll waved his hand, denying an action plan just submitted by Lindemann.

He looked at General Lindemann who was at a loss, and continued to talk about his strange theory: Because the 'cargo' that your troops are responsible for transporting this time is very important cargo! Ordinary transport ships cannot be used. , and you can’t use too small a warship...but in order to ensure that the ship will be sunk, you can’t use too much escort force.”

Originally, this plan was based on the premise of not attracting attention, but showing the importance of the cargo as much as possible. Lindemann had never carried out this kind of intelligence mission that really cost expensive warships. Things aren't quite right. If it is just for a scam that may not be successful, it is definitely a very cost-effective battle plan for Admiral Lindemann to take an expensive heavy cruiser and other main battleships.

How can anyone really lose a battleship to deceive the other party? Navy warships are not just precious gold-swallowing behemoths, but also time-consuming and accumulated items with a relatively high construction period. How can one be thrown out casually and fed to the enemy as a free meal?

Can't you tell me what exactly I want to transport? Lieutenant General Lindemann stared at Gascoll and said, Hell, I am also a lieutenant general who commands a fleet in name, Why is the level of secrecy so high, I can’t even know the whole plan why I dispatched my own warship to commit suicide?”

You? Don't say you are not high enough. On the side of Marshal Raeder, this plan only has an operation code name, and there are no written documents or records. As if laughing at himself, Gascoll spread his hands and complained to Lindeman. : Don't say it's you, it's my father, and he only knows the code name of the transported thing 'Teutonic Knight', what it is, how much it weighs and how long it is,

I also don't know anything.

My God... Few people at the marshal level know about it? Lindeman immediately became cautious when he heard Gascoll's words. At this time, it is a very taboo thing to ask such a core confidential matter in front of the head of a spy. So he hurriedly lowered his voice, and apologized to Gascoll in a low voice: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ask about this.

If that doesn't work, we'll draw from the local fleet and ask for a cruiser that's justified, escorted by two destroyers... and spend enough money to put on a show that's shocking enough for the British and Americans! Xiao Jia Skoll patted Lindemann on the shoulder and said to the commander of the German Mediterranean Squadron with a smile.

...

In the Oval Office of the President of the White House in Washington, USA, Roosevelt leaned on the back of his wheelchair, raised his head and stared at the intelligence officer who had just brought the shocking news with his rare sharp eyes. Now he really wants to know which information he has in his hand represents the time progress of the Germans' research on atomic weapons.

Compared with the Soviet frontal battlefield where the dust had settled and there was no suspense, Roosevelt was most concerned about the news of the US fleet in the Pacific Ocean and the development of secret weapons by the Germans. If you want to ask the United States what way to turn the tide of the war, apart from mobilizing troops to fight with the German fleet and army to fight head-on after defeating Japan, the most attractive thing is nothing more than a superpower that can kick Germany out of the war at once. Weapons up.

But in the United States today, the voices of hope and the just positive of the Germans are getting smaller and smaller, and the increasing consumption of war has discouraged capitalists and civilians, and the rest of them pin their hopes on new weapons up. However, compared with Germany, which collected a large number of scientists and related talents in advance, the United States lags far behind in atomic energy research.

Roosevelt has always been worried that the Germans will be ahead of the Americans in terms of super weapons, so he tried hard to urge the United States to invest in related research, and on the other hand, he worked hard to interfere with Germany's atomic energy program and steal information about the German atomic program. Drawing on relatively more German experience is also a way for him to speed up the pace of the US atomic program. He hopes to catch up with the Germans and save money.

Just a few days ago, his efforts appeared to be paying off. A senior spy lurking in Germany passed back accurate information on the development of the German atomic bomb - the intelligence showed that the German army was using the more powerful and advanced nuclear fusion to develop its own super weapon, and had taken the lead in this regard.

This information shocked the Americans, because they only had theoretical research in the field of nuclear fusion and did not invest in more basic experiments. The sword of Slee has always been hanging over the heads of American politicians.

But this threat is still far away. Intelligence shows that the Germans will not have this deadly weapon until the second half of 1940. This shows that the Americans still have time. As long as they work hard, they can develop this terrible weapon before the Germans. Weapons of destruction come. But just now, Roosevelt got another piece of information in his hands. The things mentioned in this piece of information had to make Roosevelt carefully handle the relationship between the United States and Germany.

Are you sure? Are you sure that the Germans transported a weapon called 'Teutonic Knight' and sent it to Africa via the Mediterranean Sea for experimentation? Roosevelt held the information in his hand and asked the intelligence officer standing by his wheelchair: What do you think, What is the probability that this German's secret weapon is a super weapon?

The officer was silent for a moment, as if considering how much impact his words would have. In the end, he glanced at Roosevelt, and then said: Our intelligence personnel in Italy have not received this news, and even the intelligence network in Germany has no rumors about this... This level of confidentiality, I personally I still feel that it should be an important weapon worthy of secrecy.

No matter which one is the real secret weapon development progress of the Germans, we can't take risks. Roosevelt squeezed the document paper with trembling hands, and finally said to the intelligence officer standing beside him: Let your people act quickly Get up and find out the truth of the matter as much as possible... We must take action to prevent the Germans from continuing to develop so smoothly.

After saying this, he tested his own head, pointed at the secretary who was waiting next to him, and said, Let the navy find a way to deploy 5 submarines and arrange the most reliable manpower. This submarine force must be able to leave at any time. The status of the mission, awaiting our further orders.

Because of his poor health, after saying this, Roosevelt was forced to stop. After he took a few breaths, he regained his energy and pressed his other hand on the back of his secretary's hand: Here I'll find... find... find the generals of the navy, I, I'll hold a temporary combat meeting!

He wants to ask those experts with combat experience to see if it is possible to send a special operations force to Italy to capture the German secret weapon code-named Teutonic Knight along the railway. If there is a chance to get that thing back to the United States, the entire course of the war may be rewritten-this opportunity is more effective and more likely than instigating Italy.

Even in Roosevelt's mind, he was already thinking about how to transform a submarine, how to send soldiers to Italy, how to capture the secret weapon of the Germans, and how to rely on the submarine to transport that weapon back to the United States... Even if this plan cannot be completed, he Also on the road, at sea, find a suitable opportunity to completely destroy this weapon from the earth.

Only in this way can the United States continue to look for opportunities in future wars; only in this way can the United States, which is surrounded by the sea on both sides, continue to exist as the country of choice; In this way, Roosevelt could leave without any worries.

I need to take a break. When they come, wake me up... After Roosevelt finished speaking, he signaled to the waiter pushing his wheelchair to take him out of the reception room, and the director of the US Intelligence Agency squatted down. , began to pick up scattered on the ground, those intelligence documents that Roosevelt failed to grasp because his fingers trembled violently when he moved.
