Chapter 34: Leaking points

In the Imperial Strategy Officer's work is almost the same as when Lynn was a staff officer in the headquarters of the "Vampire" commando. He didn't have to charge like ordinary officers. Even the sun and rain were exposed to struggle. His work day after day was basically uncreative, and sometimes he was very repetitive and trivial. However, this job was not without highlights. The most refreshing process was to "discover" - discover the first mobile phone secret information, discover the plans that were still in the brewing stage, and discover those inside stories that the outside world might never know. In just a few days after coming to the Strategic Strategy Office, the "Aryan Ark Plan" that was originally in chaos in Lin N's mind finally gradually revealed its huge and hideous outline from the fog.

The core of this plan, as Lynn speculated, was to ensure the absolute safety of the life of the empire's head of state Adolf Hitler, because even in 1945 when the war was about to fail, the dictator's appeal to the German nation was still irreplaceable - Goering, Himmler, Goebbels, and even Rommel, who "climbed out of the grave", did not have such influence. Only when the head of state came out and shouted, would the German soldiers and civilians stand up tenaciously from the ruins.

Focusing on the core of the plan, the planners and executors strive to transfer and accumulate valuable military resources secretly. Like the goals that Germany has pursued for a long time, these resources strive for "element" and "cutting", and on this basis, the quantity and scale can be appropriately ignored. Because of this, not all top engineers of the project need to retreat to "sanctuary" at any cost. Planners are likely to have already defined the scope in late 1944, mainly disc aircraft and special power projects, high-speed high-altitude aircraft, high-speed silent submarines, electronic communications and detection equipment. In a report evaluating the transfer of key technicians and equipment, Lynn saw that the plan executors gave a completion rate of up to 90%. As for other traditional projects of the German engineer, including conventional aircraft, artillery, tanks, guns and even rockets, were almost excluded.

In Lin Neng's view, such a decision can only be described as stupid, lack of vision and putting the cart before the horse, but he put himself in his shoes and grew up in the late 19th century and early 20th century planners considered that during the war with rapid technological development, technological innovations of various weapons were often explosive. For example, when Germany invaded the Soviet Union in 1941, it still used the No. 3 and No. 4 tanks with more than 20 tons as the main force on the ground. By the autumn of 1942, the total weight was nearly 60 tons, and the Tiger tanks with both firepower and protection increased exponentially.

It was first included in active service. For example, the main means of air detection when the war broke out was telescope observation and primitive listeners. In just a few years, the radar, which was originally rarely paid attention to, has made rapid progress and even become an effective airborne weapon. Because of these dazzling plans, simple military decision makers can only rely on their own consciousness to judge the future development of weapons. Since jet fighters have completely surpassed traditional piston-powered aircraft, they have no violation of logic to pin their hopes on more powerful aircraft!

Of course, a war cannot be just weapons. In the "Aryan Ark Plan", the initial plan was to select 4,000 of the best officers and soldiers from the SS to retreat to the "sanctuary". Together with 400 pilots, 1,200 skilled maintenance technicians, 3,000 naval officers and soldiers and 600 of the best naval workers, plus the engineering and guards that arrived in the early stage, the total number of officers and soldiers would exceed 12,000. However, after entering 1945, the speed of the war situation was far beyond the planners' expectations, and a large number of SS troops were separated from all over the battlefield, from Courland in the northeast to Hungary in the south, from Italy to Germany's Western Front, United

The network was inconvenient to mobility, and various units suffered heavy casualties. In particular, the Navy implemented the "Operation Hannibal" aimed at withdrawing millions of German civilians from East Prussia, so that the number of available ships was sharply reduced, and in the end they could only transport officers and soldiers by submarines. According to the statistics on May 20, along with some of the Defense Forces officers and soldiers who temporarily joined the operation in the final stage, there were only more than 1,400 land combatants, only 120 pilots, and 633 maintenance technicians. The Navy's retreat personnel and plans were the closest, reaching nearly 2,800, which was entirely due to the 43 submarines that arrived from the Baltic Sea, North Sea and Atlantic Ocean after May 9.

Weapons, equipment and corresponding personnel are basically in place, and the "Aryan Ark Plan" will enter a very important dormant stage. According to the planner's estimate, this stage depends on the speed of its own scientific and technological research and development and changes in the external situation. It is at least half a year and may reach more than 10 years. Therefore, it is planned to arrange 12,500 women of appropriate age to live with military officers and soldiers in the "sanctuary" and form new families. Although capacity restrictions are limited, only 8,500 young German women arrived before the fall of Berlin, which still exceeded the number of officers and soldiers who actually retreated to this point. Such a situation will undoubtedly envy the 21st century youth who have been troubled by the ratio of men and women in decades.

In a report on labor allocation, Lynn saw the distribution of 8,500 young women: 400 military service personnel, 800 medical rescue personnel, 600 restaurant operations, 6,200 factories produced, and the remaining 500 were trained as candidates for military civil service, communication technology and combat troops. In general, the existence of these opposite sexes will enrich and coordinate the relatively isolated life of the "sanctuary", but the total number of staff in the base has reached 16,000. It is a very critical issue to solve the daily consumption of these people.

For logistics supply, the planners made very flexible arrangements: in the first four months, they mainly rely on the reserve materials in the base, supplemented by fishing activities near Norway. In order to cover up, 80 carefully selected German naval volunteers disguised themselves as Norwegian fishermen. They could speak Norwegian and had identity certificates issued by the Norwegian government. As long as they were not very strict interrogation, it would be difficult for allied ships to see through. Four months later, even if the Western Allied forces, mainly British and American, and the Soviet troops had not fought on the European continent, their attention had shifted from the war against Germany. At this time, the personnel placed outside would carry food and supplies to the Norwegian waters under the name exported to Norway, Finland and other countries, and then secretly unloaded them into the "sanctuary". As long as there is no major accident, the normal operation of the base can continue.

"Sanctuary" is by no means a paradise to avoid disputes. There is no doubt that the decision makers of the "Aryan Ark Plan" are determined to avoid the edge of the Allies and the Soviet army, and to place their plan to revive Germany on two major factors: the successful development of super-cutting weapons and the outbreak of large-scale wars between the United States and the Soviet Union. With Lynn's understanding of the content of the plan, these two factors are not absolutely indispensable. As long as one side can meet sufficient requirements, the "Sanctuary" will become the starting point for counterattack. At that time, the head of the empire Adolf Hitler will raise his arms here and shout here that the German citizens and former imperial soldiers who were in the shadow of failure and bullied by the occupiers would not immediately attack the US and Soviet troops.

, they may not even dare to show a sense of resistance, but their desire for victory and honor and memories of the glorious years in their hearts will be reawakened. Organizations left on the European continent and the forces distributed overseas will also obey this order. Then, the empires that appeared in front of the world in a new posture will quickly control Norway with super weapons and political skills, go south to Denmark, return to Germany, take power, restore economy, expand military affairs, first defeat the Soviet Union without two-front combat, and then turn around to defeat the vulnerable France, forcing Britain to permanently withdraw from the war, and ultimately achieve control over Europe, Africa and South America, and build an unprecedentedly powerful German empire.

When the puzzle in my mind finally became a complete picture, Lynn's shock was much greater than any previous one. When the "Aryan Ark Plan" was initially formulated, Germany still had the opportunity to reverse the decline through strategic adjustments, but the planners were obviously far away from the center of political and military power. Since they could not change the consciousness of the superiors at that time, they simply used bold predictions and extraordinary imagination to depict this phoenix-like Nirvana plan. What is even more commendable is that its implementation did not consume astronomical financial resources like the Maginot Line, and also allowed heavyweights like Rommel who were implicated in political events. Although there were many solutions to the implementation of the entire plan, in general, its existence was far beyond the imagination of ordinary people - including those Allied strategists, military strategists and outstanding generals.

However, Lynn thought that his age had passed the 66th anniversary of the end of World War II. Since the "Aryan Ark Project" did exist, why did the ten-year period of the revival of the empire become a long time ago? Is it because the super weapon has not been successful for a long time, and no real war broke out between the United States and the Soviet Union?

Reading history can make a clear picture and understand the big and small episodes in the past. If you are willing to do it, Lin En believes that when the US-Soviet relations are the most tense, it is very likely to provoke them to break out of war. In this way, the abandonment of the "Aryan Ark Plan" is likely to be due to the death of the head of state, the riot of officers and soldiers, and internal struggle for power and profit, and the complete collapse of the planning system?

After thinking hard for a long time, Lin En could not confirm the answer. He thought the truth could only be left to time to unravel. However, when an intelligence agent about transporting secret materials to the submarine captured by the US military was presented to the senior staff officer, he suddenly figured out that this bold and almost perfect plan was missed after all, an extremely critical but unpredictable key point, nuclear weapons!
