Chapter 47 Hard Binding

Late at night, everything was silent. Lin En buckled his hands as pillows, lay motionless on the bed, staring at the ceiling intently.

Thoughts were full of thoughts, but not disorderly. For the first time, the intelligence chief's affinity, clear thinking and straightforward words left a very deep impression on him, which was exactly in stark contrast to Laurenci Bach's previous ambiguity on the same issue. Because of this conversation, Lynn seemed to have seen the way to the light world in the chaotic darkness, but should this simple side of perception resolutely jump from Laurenci Bach to Hans Andri?

Two faces with equally handsome, resolute and rebellious temperament appeared in my mind. These are two young leaders who have prominent positions in their respective fields. Combined, it is difficult to judge who has more leadership potential. Fortunately, they belong to the same camp in principle. On such a ship with uncertain future, Bach's steadyness is like a sub-rudder, which does not show any effect on weekdays and can help the ship avoid the reefs ahead at critical moments; Andri's mind is a spare boiler, and even if it is not ignited, the ship can move forward at a constant speed, but it is very necessary to quickly pass through this confused sea area and speed up.

A night of insomnia, a night of thinking. When Lynn got up with deep fatigue, he already had his own decision in his heart.

I figured it out but didn't rush to find Andri. In the next two days, Lynn worked diligently to find valuable information from sloppy records and newspapers cut into small pieces. It can be seen that almost the whole world was cheering for the end of the European war. The extremely aggressive German Third Reich fell and fell under the joint attack of two powerful men from the East and the West. Although the *** army still resisted stubbornly on the Pacific battlefield, in the eyes of most people, the situation was already clear and the fog was dispersed. They couldn't wait to start enjoying a beautiful peace. But is this true?

The tiredness in the afternoon made me drowsy. Lynn made himself a cup of creamy coffee, and the taste was naturally not comparable to that of Bach or Andri's office. Just as he was thinking about this, the service officer of the Intelligence Department appeared like a ghost, and he said with a pleasant expression: "Lieutenant Galgo, Colonel Andri asked you to Restaurant No. 3 for afternoon tea. I heard... Minister Goebbels, General Bach and other important figures will also come."

He had no friendship with the service officer, Lin Neng thought that these situations were obviously something Andri intended to let him know in advance. It seemed that the colonel had completed the most important part of a plan with amazing efficiency - the approval of the superior.

"Okay, thank you, I will definitely arrive on time."

The service officer smiled and turned around and left calmly.

Lynn looked at the time, cleaned up briefly, and then thought about it in his mind. Then he got up and went to Restaurant No. 3, a private high-end restaurant located on the ground floor of the Strategic Staff Building, with separate chefs and service staff, which are exclusively for senior staff in the Staff Department. Outsiders don’t know its existence at all. It is said that whether it is breakfast, lunch, dinner, refreshments, the selection of ingredients and flavors there are very good. Just to show the atmosphere of unity, even Goebbels and Rommel insist on dining in the officers and soldiers’ restaurants on weekdays, Bach and Valdes are no exception, so Restaurant No. 3 has few opportunities to "open" and is often mostly served with refreshments.

Although Lynn was curious for the first time, she stopped her eyes and glanced at her. The rigid Germans were very punctual, and the people who had the afternoon tea were soon arrived. In addition, Lynn had eight people, Goebbels, Bach, Valdes, Andri, Chief of Operations Colonel Aubrey, Goebbels' military adjutant, and another Lieutenant Colonel Karenbert, who had never met. Putting aside the base commander and the base staff, the person present was basically an important figure in Goebbels' faction. In public, they did not communicate too clearly, and only showed their positions inadvertently. In private, they were very close and harmonious, and they could even joke with each other without restraint.

As the only person present in a low-ranking military position, Lynn quietly observed the expressions and postures of everyone here, especially Laurenci Bach, the leader he still respected very much. Although Andri's ideas were contrary to his cautious thinking and were preparing to poach the combat elites under his command, Bach's mood seemed neither low nor bad, but maintained a peaceful expression as always, occasionally smiling with others' chatter. When he had eyes with Lynn, he could not see anything unusual.

After the refreshment came, Goebbels glanced at Lynn, who was sitting opposite him, and then said in a happy tone: "Today we are here together, not for others - our talented intelligence officer, Hans, has formulated an ambitious plan: to rebuild our intelligence network in North America, explore the adjustment and deployment of the US government and the military, and lay the foundation for our future counter-offensive operations. Hans, let's first introduce these two special guests today!"

Andri did not stand up, but sat on the sofa to introduce to his close colleagues one by one: "This is Lieutenant Colonel Betleme, the best operation commander of our SS Intelligence Department. During the Western Front Battle, he made great achievements in seizing the Caven Bridge, which was stationed by the Dutch army. Later, he was active in Italy and North Africa for a long time. The operation to rescue the Italian leader in 1943 was provided by the intelligence team led by Lieutenant Colonel Betleme. In addition, the Lieutenant Colonel also participated in several subsequent attacks on important Allied personnel, which was only one step away from success."

Following Andri's introduction, the strange lieutenant colonel stood up to salute everyone. He was not a standard Nordic face, with small eyes, a little flat nose, a pointed chin with a French look, and a not tall figure, but a tough aura that is not easy to mess with.

"Everyone should be familiar with this. The elite Lieutenant Galgo, our night combat unit, has already proved himself with his outstanding performance on the battlefield. He is currently working in the Planning Department of the Strategic Staff. He is an all-round talent and has unique insights in intelligence. Here, I would like to thank General Bach for his recommendation. If not, I would not have had the opportunity to contact and discover Lieutenant Galgo."

After Andri finished speaking, Lynn greeted everyone with Lieutenant Colonel Betlem. At this time, he noticed a faint smile on Bach's face, but he could not feel sincere joy from this expression.

"Let's talk about the topic!" Andri went straight to the topic from the beginning on such an occasion: "As we all know, in the current world political map, Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union are the biggest obstacles to our realization of imperial rejuvenation. The hatred of the two wars has turned Britain from the German *** to the old enemy. Given that their air force and navy are relatively powerful, we must shock and restrain them with high-tech weapons."

After saying that, Andri took a sip of tea, or rather European-style tea with milk, and sat on the comfortable sofa and continued on the comfortable sofa: "The Soviet Union, like Britain, had a grudge against us because of the war, but the difference is that ideological opposition makes them inevitably suppressed by Western countries after the war, which is somewhat similar to the situation in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Although our current opportunity to cooperate directly with the Soviet Union is slim, we can make full use of their opposition."

After a pause, Andri turned toward Goebbels: "As for the United States, the seemingly cunning utilitarian merchants, they have quietly become the most powerful military country in the world. Their navy is stronger than the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union, and the air force is even more powerful than the sum of other countries. The army is not very strong in combat, but it is rich in equipment and supplies. What is even more worrying is that we have received information that they are working to develop an unprecedented super weapon, which we will call it "uranium bomb". According to the top level

Physicists' theoretical research in the late 1930s said that this weapon has the ability to destroy a city in an instant. If it was born in the United States first, it would make the United States the only strongest country, and this may eventually lead to their troops to attack the Soviet Union. The war between the United States and the Soviet Union is the opportunity for revival that we have always dreamed of, but without a weapon that can balance the 'uranium bomb', it will be difficult for us to gain a political foothold, so... we'd better be able to master this super weapon ourselves!"

At first, these words made Lynn feel that it was the improvement and upgrading of his conversation with Andre two days ago, but after careful consideration, he found that Andre was absolutely reserved at that time. In his conversation with Lynn, he did not give a detailed description of super weapons, nor did he clearly put forward the concept of "uranium bomb", nor did he deeply analyze the strategic situation of the three countries of Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union. However, with the perspective of Lynn, the future of the future, Andre's analysis and predictions were still very accurate in the general direction. However, the United States had not long been exclusive to nuclear bomb technology, and four years later, the Soviet Union also had its own atomic bomb, which laid the foundation for the emergence of the Cold War and the era of nuclear deterrence. As for whether the United States has truly considered eliminating the Soviet threat through nuclear war in the past four years, different information has different statements.

Obviously not the first time I heard Andri say this, Goebbels nodded in his eyes. In the Third Reich, Goebbels' succession ranking was after Goebbels and Himmler. He did not understand military affairs and had never really commanded the battle. However, he was a key gentleman who was not inferior to anyone in his opinion. Some people even believed that this little lame man who was professing the propaganda was the first hero in the formation and rise of the Third Reich in Germany.

During the vote, he actively lobbyed, delivered speeches and propaganda, making great contributions to the gradual development of the KMT Party as the largest party in the Congress. Under his careful planning and packaging, Adolf Hitler gradually became the god in the public's minds and successfully ascended the head of state after Hindenburg's death. After the assassination in the late war, he actively organized the suppression and timely issued announcements to thwart murder through radio stations, saving the dying imperial regime...

"Gentlemen, let's talk about their opinions!" Goebbels calmly glanced at the key figures present, especially Bach and his first deputy chief of staff.

The main character Bach calmly put the teacup into the saucer: "Totally agree."

Lynn could not notice the slightest hesitation after hearing this tone. He thought that Major Andre had already done ideological work between Goebbels and Bach in advance. Why should he call everyone to hold such a "tea party"? Just come here to meet and meet?

"Totally agree!" Bach's deputy, first deputy chief of staff of the Strategic Staff, Valdes, spoke in the same tone.

The key figures with direct relationships have voted in favor, and the rest of them are naturally not a question.

Next, Goebbels naturally turned his attention to Andri, and the colonel announced with comprehension: "In view of the very important and difficult operation, we decided to promote Lieutenant Colonel Betleme to colonel of the Land and serve as the operation commander, who is fully responsible for the implementation of the plan and personnel allocation; and promoted Lieutenant Galgo to Lieutenant of the Land and serve as the first deputy commander of the operation, and fully assist the commander in carrying out the established tasks."

Lin En's doubt just now was relieved as he finished speaking. In the blink of an eye, he was promoted to the military rank and obtained an official position, but he was unable to feel happy because in his original plan, the condition for participating in the action was that he would be the commander, the person in charge, and the allocation of money. He would discuss the issue of "porcelain dolls" by the way. Originally, as he talked with Andre before, Lin En felt that such a request was likely to be met, but he didn't want to play politics by himself. While he had dealt with his superiors, he asked Goebbels to come out to witness. Now that the situation was done, how could he have the qualification to bargain?

After being appointed, Betlem immediately stood up and expressed his determination righteously. Lynn thought about it. Although he had gained a deputy position after so much time, he became the first among ordinary officers in the same period to be promoted to lieutenant. However, if he did not make the requests he had imagined now, once the action began, everything would be wrong.

"I am extremely honored to be appreciated by His Excellency Minister, General Bach and Colonel Andri, following an intelligence elite like Colonel Bethlem in such a significant operation. As I mentioned before when I reported to General Bach and Colonel Andri, I am a combat commander who is good at squad combat and has confidence in making suggestions, but the intelligence is never before. Therefore, I hope to select some elite and loyal combatants to prepare for all possible bad situations and do my best in the overall strategy and detailed route of the plan."

When he said this, Lynn knew that Bach and Andri had strange expressions in his eyes, because all this was not what they expected, except that Betlem looked at him calmly. Obviously, this guy didn't know much more than he did in advance, so he regarded these as the arrangements of his superiors.

Faced with Goebbels' inquiry gaze, Andri showed his calm and composed side. He praised the courage and loyalty of Betlem and Lynn in one piece, and immediately stated that the Strategic Staff would do his best to meet the requirements of the operation personnel - personnel, Betlem and Lynn had the final say; equipment, they made a list; funds, Bank of America promissory notes, with a denomination of 500,000, and additionally depending on the specific situation in the future.
