The German gendarmes were very polite, which was a very rare thing in these days, and these chain dogs with badges had always been known for their ferocity and cold-bloodedness.

The Soviet side also showed surprising cooperation, perhaps because of the endorsement of the foreign minister, everyone obediently handed over their cameras and films, and then accepted the gendarmes to interrogate them kindly.

The Soviets soon discovered that the Germans' problems revolved around the shooting range they passed by, and it seemed that the wreckage of the tank, hidden in the grass, was the focus of their attention.

After receiving positive hints from his subordinates, Molotov's attitude also became tougher, as long as the Germans could not get evidence of Soviet journalists' spying on secrets, then he was already invincible in this matter.

And perhaps he could use this as an opportunity to launch a tentative diplomatic attack on the German Führer, which was Molotov's greatest trick in his diplomatic career, and if the minister was given a good grip, a series of stormy combinations would follow, and even the most formidable opponent would soon be crushed under the astonishing eloquence and cheekiness of the Soviet Foreign Minister.

"The driver has admitted that he took you to the storage area in the south, although it is not a forbidden place, but the whole area there is not allowed to take pictures, if we find relevant photos on the film, unfortunately, we must confiscate them." A gendarmerie captain said, shaking the aluminum tube with film in his hand.

The design of film in the forties was not much different from that of later generations, and color film had already been invented at that time, but it was a bit expensive because of the process and materials. All over the world has begun to shoot news documentaries on color film, but due to cost considerations, relatively cheap black and white film is used to make copies for theatrical screening, and often due to various reasons such as war, only black and white copies remain in the world.

The Soviets used expensive color film, which was still a product of Agfa in Germany, and color film was more suitable for reproducing realistic scenes than ordinary black and white film. In order to protect these expensive films, German manufacturers equipped each film with an aluminium storage tube, which was later replaced by cheap plastic products, but under the technological conditions of the time, this aluminum film box was the lightest airtight container.

In real history, as the war dragged on, the use of metal raw materials in Germany was strictly regulated, and Agfa had no choice but to use vinyl bakelite as an alternative material to make film storage boxes.

The aluminum tube used to store ordinary 135 film (referring to the thickness of the film is 0.135 mm) is about the same length as an adult's thumb, slightly thicker in diameter than the thumb, and the surface is matte to prevent the fingers from slipping when taking the film.

Almost every "Soviet journalist" brought a camera with him, and some even brought an extra one as a spare, at least eighty percent of these cameras were original German goods, and the rest were all products produced by French and British companies, in terms of optical equipment and precision machinery manufacturing, the Soviet Union's technical strength at that time was still quite weak, although the domestic cameras could be manufactured, but they were all rough imitations of German Zeiss, Contex and Leica, and they would only laugh and be generous when taken out in front of the Germans.

They also carried a lot of film, and each of them had as many as six or seven tubes on them, which was very much in line with their status as "journalists". The Germans took all the film, including some unopened, and told the Soviets that they would develop all the film as soon as possible, and then pick out the less sensitive negatives and photographs and return them to the Soviet side.

Keitel assured Molotov that the Germans had no intention of detaining the "Soviet correspondents" and that they were completely free, except that they had to stay in the Soviet consulate in Berlin until the results of the investigation were in, and they were not allowed to move around at will.

This is tantamount to house arrest in disguise, but Molotov knows that the Germans have given him enough face, which is already a rare preferential treatment compared to the simple and crude style of the Nazis.

Although Molotov liked to be unforgiving, he also knew that this was not the time for casual seizures, and only after figuring out the true thoughts of the German Führer could he decide what attitude and means to use to face the apostle of God, whether to show favor or revenge, and the choice was not in his hands now.

Just behind Molotov, Dekanozov made a stealthy gesture to Melkulov, indicating that everything was under control and that there was no need to worry about anything going wrong. Realizing that the agents had already disposed of all the hands and tails, the director of the National Security Bureau had been talking about the heart of the throat and eyes, and finally returned to the original place.

When the Germans found out nothing, they lifted their guard, and the gendarmes departed in their own vehicles, leaving only the visitors and receptionists who had been present at the beginning.

The so-called thunder and rain seemed to be like this, and the expressions of Keitel and the officers of the high command became a little embarrassed, but compared to these Germans, the Soviets showed great strength, and they seemed to be completely unaffected by the unexpected incident they had just picked up, and some even raised their glasses to comfort the German masters.

So the two sides quickly forgot about the unpleasant thing that had just happened with the help of alcohol, and the guests and hosts cheered and raised their glasses to celebrate and drank freely for the friendship between the Soviet Union and Germany.

After a full meal, the Soviets got into the limousines arranged for them by the Germans and returned to Berlin happily with a bunch of gifts, at least on the surface.

"Call back to the Führer, the plan is going well so far, and I am sure that the initial results will be seen soon." Watching the convoy of Soviet delegations in the distance, Keitel instructed the adjutant beside him: "The Soviets have received the "gifts" we have given them, and the "Stuffy Bear" program can enter the second stage. ”。

"The Führer will be very happy to see this news, Your Excellency, your performance today is perfect, and even we who have known it for a long time do not see any suspicions." The adjutant wrote down the marshal's words in his notebook, and then smiled and complimented.

"The Soviets weren't as stupid as you think, Molotov wasn't easy to fool, and they would start to get suspicious when they returned. All we have to do is keep providing them with all kinds of "evidence", dispel their doubts, and make them feel confident in what we have shown them. Keitel played with the marshal's cane, and played a little stick with neat movements.

"General, I don't quite understand the intention of His Excellency the Führer's plan for the "stuffed bear", why to show the Soviets these false things, I don't see what effect this can play in a future war.

On the contrary, I think that showing the other side these falsified data will make the Soviet Union even more wary of the Third Reich. If they really believed the data shown to them today, it was bound to strongly irritate the nerves of the Soviet military. A lieutenant colonel asked Yodel, who was sitting next to him, with a puzzled look on his face.

The lieutenant colonel was transferred to the Operations Bureau of the High Command last month, but it was only last night that he learned of the existence of a "fluffy bear" program, and today he came to the Kumosdorf test site purely by Yodel to support the scene and work as a long-term worker.

"Are you referring to those steel plate targets? It's not something you should be concerned about, von. At the same time, Mr. Tilhausen, I would like to warn you that the Führer's own plans, which you are not in a position to comment on, are not free to comment on. At the same time, I advise you not to doubt the judgment of His Excellency the Führer, for what you see today is only a sharp corner of the whole vast plan, and only a handful of people in the High Command know the whole picture, except for the Führer and Marshal Keitel.

So don't tempt me in this way, von. Mr. Tirhausen, if I had not personally seen your archives and believed that you were extremely loyal to the Third Reich, what you just said would have been enough to get you a severe punishment. Yodel said, clasping his arms and looking out the window.

"I'm sorry, General, but you know I'm just curious." Feng. Tilhausen hurriedly explained.

"Then put your curiosity elsewhere, Lieutenant Colonel, and it's good for you." Yodel closed his eyes and ended the conversation.
