Chapter Seventy-Three: The Earth Ghost Cry (13)
Two days after the report of the special investigation team was submitted, a large number of staff from the US military's secret department and the FBI rushed to the Los Alamos laboratory under the urgent request of President Roosevelt, led by Thomas Dewey, then governor of New York.
Not only that, all members of the previous leadership team were temporarily restricted in their personal freedom, not only to cooperate with the investigation on time every day, but also to be monitored around the clock to prevent these "red" suspected personnel from leaking any information to the outside world.
Of course, many of these personnel, such as Oppenheimer, are not only the leaders of the laboratory management, but also the technical masters of the engineering area, if these people are completely excluded from the engineering area, it will undoubtedly have an impact on the progress of the Manhattan project, so for these special personnel with excellent professional skills, Governor Dewey's policy is to try not to interfere in their work, but to conduct 100% round-the-clock monitoring of their lives outside of work.
The management has been plowed again, a large number of ordinary staff members are not having a good time, the already strict security work has become almost airtight, the management system that was somewhat free before has been completely abolished, and the new system drawn up by Governor Dewey himself is not so much a regulation as it is actually no different from a prison guideline, although at the same time Governor Dewey has also appropriately raised the salary level of the staff, but still makes a lot of people complain.
In fact, Governor Dewey himself was burdened with some of the risks associated with such extreme security measures.
In the eyes of many foreigners, Dewey's approach is understandable, but if you have a certain understanding of the mainstream ideology of the United States in the mid-20th century, you will know that Dewey's risk is that he touched the g-spot of the spirit of the United States, that is, the so-called "spirit of freedom".
Every country and every nation has its own spiritual sensitivity, just as don't use concentration camps to stimulate the Israelis, and don't use territorial sovereignty integrity to test the mainlanders, the sensitive point of the Mi people is freedom. No matter how high your official position is, what your starting point is, and what kind of position you take, restricting the freedom of thought and personal freedom of legitimate citizens will attract criticism, especially since Dewey is still a promising Republican member, if he does not make a universally recognized achievement in the Los Alamos laboratory this time, then it is inevitable that he will leave the stain of "unwarranted suspicion of the Democratic government and the use of dictatorial means to restrict the personal freedom of citizens" in his future career.
Dewey is currently a hot new figure in the Republican Party, and he is deeply trusted by the party, and he may even ascend to the high position of president of the United States in the next election, so for him, the work in the Los Alamos laboratory is an opportunity even if it is a challenge, in short, he will do his best not to let the work of the laboratory go wrong.
In the face of the ambitious and energetic Dewey, Oppenheimer had a headache, at this time in 1944, the research on the atomic bomb had been largely completed, and the theoretical research had been basically completed except for some more avant-garde ideas put forward by Professor Taylor, and the rest of the work was industrial assembly, and after the assembly was completed and checked to be correct, the next step was to verify the power of this new weapon in actual combat.
Therefore, the Los Alamos laboratory was in a relatively relaxed state before, Oppenheimer was going to take the opportunity to complete the top-secret mission assigned to him by the Proletarian International, but it happened that Professor Taylor was assassinated at this time, and this incident was used as an opportunity to attract a large-scale security investigation by the state apparatus.
......
All this is Yu Zecheng's plan.
When Yu Zecheng researched the relevant information given to him by Mr. Xun before the script began, he had a conjecture that Oppenheimer was suspicious of red.
When Oppenheimer did research in Germany in his early years, at a time when red ideas were sweeping the world, Germany, as a defeated country in World War I, was at the center and birthplace of this storm, and various currents and isms were fighting in Germany every day.
At that time, the two most dominant currents of thought in Germany were proletarian internationalism and nationalism.
Through a comparative study of Oppenheimer's various deeds after middle age, Yu Zecheng believes that the possibility of identifying with Napureism is basically zero, although he is not completely sure that he agrees with proletarianism, but the possibility of it absolutely exists.
Oppenheimer's greatest contribution to the organization as a physicist must have been the theft of theoretical research data on the atomic bomb.
If this conjecture is true, then there are two possibilities.
First, Oppenheimer did not steal relevant information, and the United States took the lead in developing the atomic bomb.
Then the next historical process will not be much different from the official history, which is exactly what Yu Zecheng wants, and his follow-up plan needs to be close to the historical process of the official history as a premise.
Second, Oppenheimer successfully stole the relevant information, and then the Union side was at the same time as the United States, and even before the United States made the atomic bomb.
If that is the case, the entire historical process will be completely disrupted, and no one can predict what will happen to the Suilian guided by the Dalin Doctrine, but it is certain that no matter what happens, Yu Zecheng's follow-up plan will definitely not be implemented.
Therefore, in order to ensure that the historical process before 1945 coincides with the official history, Yu Zecheng must strangle the possibility of Oppenheimer's leaks in the cradle.
He wants to attract the suspicion of the US high-level about the Los Alamos laboratory, so as to improve the security level of the laboratory to prevent the theoretical data about the atomic bomb from being stolen by people with ulterior motives in the laboratory.
So, Yu Zecheng transferred the skill effect of the skill card "Ten Thousand Broken Charge" to three ordinary employees of Los Alamos Laboratory who had nothing to do with it through his ability of "Conservation of Quality", and then manipulated these three to assassinate Professor Taylor for no reason, and at the same time arranged for Chiyo to save Taylor.
Due to Taylor's special identity, the superiors will definitely send a more professional investigation team to investigate the matter, and then the investigation team will definitely find that the identities of the three assassins are not connected, and based on this reasoning, the investigation team has a high probability of suspecting that there is an outside force infiltrating the laboratory. It doesn't matter whether the investigation team suspects that this foreign force is a red force or a pure force, as long as the Mimi high-level can send more security forces to monitor the laboratory.
Because the three assassins are ordinary people, even if they have been blessed by the "Ten Thousand Broken Charge" skill card, they can only use the effect of "one blow and then three times and exhaustion" in the assassination, once the blow misses, without Kochiyo's hands, they will also die by cutting their abdomen because of the negative counter-devouring effect of the skill card.
This is also the reason why Chiyo, who has not been physically strengthened, can take out these three adult males with her thin female body, and it is also the reason why Chiyo must kill these three people before the counter-devouring effect of the Ten Thousand Shattered Charge skill appears.
