After the plane took off, Tan Renhao asked Pan Zekang, who was accompanying him, to continue sorting out his report. Tan Renhao's own report was not fully completed, but he was not in the mood at all, whenever he wanted to concentrate on doing things, he would think of his wife, his newborn son, and his relatives at home, so that he couldn't concentrate at all.

"Listen to Yongxing, Xiaoyu was born naturally, right?" Nie Renfeng sat on the sofa opposite Tan Renhao, and his eyes also fell on Tan Renhao, who was a little distracted.

Tan Renhao nodded slightly, and then took a long breath. "Both mother and child are healthy, the doctor said there is no problem, and they will be able to go home in a few days."

"Renhao, I didn't want to call you at this time." Nie Renfeng took off his old glasses, "I am also a father, and now I am holding my grandson." I know very well what it's like to be a father, especially when I look at my child being born......"

"Headmaster, I don't really have anything." Tan Renhao smiled reluctantly, "It's just a little hard to put it down." ”

"That's for sure, no matter who else it is, it's going to feel the same way." Nie Renfeng's gaze stayed on Tan Renhao's body for a few minutes, "That's it, after you arrive in the capital, after you have dealt with some necessary things, you will go back to Zhoushan first." ”

Tan Renhao was slightly surprised. "Headmaster, I'm fine. At the beginning, you said that there are any documents that you want me to see? ”

"Are you really okay?"

Tan Renhao smiled and nodded. "It's okay, when I get to the capital, I'll call home."

Nie Renfeng hesitated. "You may think I'm impersonal, but you know very well what time it is. Maybe ......"

"Headmaster, I'll do my job!" Tan Renhao forced himself to calm down and not think about things at home. "As an Imperial soldier, I was able to see my own son born. I'm already satisfied, and now, I should go back to the position of a soldier. ”

Nie Renfeng nodded and gave Tan Renhao a document in his hand. "Then you should take a look at this document first, it has to do with Japan."

"Japan?" Tan Renhao was a little surprised. They did not go to the capital to discuss the Japanese issue with the prime minister.

"Japan's nuclear program, and some other related information."

Tan Renhao reacted at this time, he didn't ask any more, and immediately opened the document and read it.

Like most countries, Japan has launched its own nuclear program after making great strides in atomic physics. In terms of theoretical research, Japan is not much worse than other great powers, and in fact, the basic theory of atomic physics is not complicated, especially after Einstein's theory of relativity was confirmed. The theoretical foundations of nuclear physics have already been laid. Translating theory into practice is the most difficult. In this respect, Japan is much worse than other countries.

The investment in nuclear physics research is enormous, and the investment in infrastructure. The resource requirements are particularly high. Not to mention Japan, like the Tang Empire, the United States, Germany and other powerful countries did not make much progress before the outbreak of the war. Judging by Japan's national strength at that time. Not to mention making great strides. As a result, before the war, nuclear physics research in Japan was largely theoretical, and although plans had been put forward to build nuclear reactors, there was still a long way to go before construction began. The most critical factor in this is the lack of uranium ore in Japan, and it is not so easy to import uranium ore. In addition, Japan has always been a country lacking electricity, and the power supply simply cannot meet the needs of nuclear physics research.

After the outbreak of the war, although Japan had the upper hand in the first half of the year, the Tang Empire quickly turned the tide of the war and gained a dominant position, and Japan began to be fully passive. At that time, Japan was even less capable of continuing to conduct in-depth nuclear research. Prior to its defeat, Japan had devoted its entire efforts to developing nuclear weapons, but in the end it did not lead much. On the premise that the industrial base is destroyed, it is even more impossible to produce any results.

It was also after the Japanese New Army took control of the island of Honshu that the intelligence services of the Tang Empire obtained information on the Japanese militarist government's nuclear weapons research program. This was top-secret information at the time, and the Tang Empire had a preliminary grasp of Japan's progress in the field of nuclear weapons research. It can be said that this was an important factor that stimulated the Tang Empire to accelerate the development of nuclear weapons.

Judging from the information obtained by the Tang Empire at that time, Japan had preliminarily completed the design of the nuclear reactor before the defeat of the war, and was preparing to start construction.

At the same time, the Tang Empire's nuclear physics research was still in its infancy. That is, even countries like Japan were ahead of the Tang Empire. What made the Tang Empire feel even more dangerous was that a group of Japanese nuclear physics scientists had already been transferred to the United States, and it was very likely that these scientists were helping the United States develop the atomic bomb!

Perhaps these Japanese scientists did not contribute much to the U.S. atomic bomb program, after all, there are quite a few nuclear physicists in the U.S. However, it is obvious that with the national strength of the United States, if it wants to develop an atomic bomb, the progress will definitely be much faster than that of Japan. In other words, the United States is trying to create an atomic bomb. This is what scares the empire the most, and if the United States had built the atomic bomb first, the outcome of the war would have been likely to change, at least, it would have affected the course of the war.

When Tan Renhao finished reading this document, he was also shocked. Almost all countries are developing this completely new weapon, and all countries have recognized that the new weapon will bring about a radical change in warfare. So, how fast and how far is the empire going in this regard, is it ahead of its opponents, or behind its opponents?

"This is the detailed information of the 'Pangu Project 1' that I just got." Nie Renfeng gave the second document to Tan Renhao, "Before, I didn't know much about the extent of the empire's nuclear weapons development, and I was always worried, until I learned about this plan, I was a little relieved." ”

Hearing the principal say this, Tan Renhao immediately took the document, and then quickly looked at it.

When it comes to the development of nuclear weapons, the Reich is not lagging behind any country. Albert Einstein proposed the theory of relativity before World War I, and the correctness of the theory of relativity was confirmed by observation before World War I. And at that time. Imperial scientists were just over two years late in deducing the formula for the conservation of mass and energy, and immediately began to study it in greater depth. Of the five most important atomic physics laboratories in the world, there were three in the Tang Empire. They are in Guangzhou University of Technology, Jiangnan University of Technology and Beijing Institute of Technology. And at that time. At least three-tenths of the world's atomic physicists are scientists of the Empire. From this point of view, it can be seen that in terms of theoretical research, the scientists of the Imperial Land are at the forefront of the world.

Even before the outbreak of the war, scientists in the Reich had proposed the idea of creating nuclear weapons, and the main work at that time was focused on finding suitable raw materials for chain nuclear fission. And this requires a lot of theoretical research. and experiments, which require a large amount of capital investment. This is where the Imperial scientists were fortunate, and before the outbreak of the war, the Imperial Government had been funding the key laboratories of various universities for the research and development of new technologies, and three of them were the key recipients of funding.

After the outbreak of the war, the empire took the lead in designing the world's first nuclear reactor, and construction began at the end of 21. At that time, no one was absolutely sure about the creation of nuclear weapons. And all the research on this is blank. In other words, almost all work has to start at the most basic stage. In addition, in the early stages of the war, the empire had to concentrate more of its forces on the war. Therefore, there is not much attention to the research work on the ground of nuclear weapons. More importantly, there was no information that any other country was ahead of the Empire in the development of nuclear weapons, and there were no scientists who could convince the Prime Minister of the Empire. Let the prime minister devote more resources to research on nuclear weapons sites. Under the influence of these factors, the progress of the Empire's nuclear weapons research project slowed down.

By the year 24, the Reich had received an extremely important piece of information, namely that Germany was secretly building several factories to produce heavy water, and the only use of heavy water was to be used as a moderator for nuclear reactors! This information was immediately taken seriously, and then at the Tehran Conference, the Reich asked Germany for nuclear and physical assistance, and for this reason, the Reich provided Germany with a large amount of aid, including thousands of heavy bombers. Before that, Germany had proposed to introduce heavy bombers from the Tang Empire several times, but in the end they were all rejected by the Tang Empire, and in order to obtain German technology, the Tang Empire exported strategic weapons to other countries for the first time!

It was from this time that the development of nuclear weapons was placed in the highest priority position by the Empire. Xue Xiyue handed over the task to the army, and a separate secret agency was set up in the army to be fully responsible for the research and development of nuclear weapons. But the problem is that with the strength of the army, it is simply impossible to support this huge project.

At this point, Tan Renhao also understood that the Navy had discovered the Empire's nuclear weapons development program by accident. Then Nie Renfeng reported the discovery of the navy to the prime minister. It is precisely because of this that the prime minister provided Nie Renfeng with relevant information, knowing that this matter could not be hidden from the navy. At that time, the army did have a lot of problems in developing nuclear weapons, and the army alone could not complete the project, so involving the navy was the best way to solve the problem.

Of course, the joint letter submitted by the nuclear physicists of the empire also played a crucial role. A copy of the letter is also included in the document. In their letters, the scientists did not emphasize the power of nuclear weapons, but rather explained the negative impact on the empire if the United States or Germany were to develop the atomic bomb first. In fact, this is the prime minister's main concern. As a politician, the prime minister does not think about technical issues, and in the eyes of the prime minister, there is no essential difference between defeating the enemy with an incendiary bomb and defeating the enemy with an atomic bomb. The most important thing the prime minister needs to know is the far-reaching impact of the atomic bomb on international politics.

When he saw the end, Tan Renhao noticed a detail, and then immediately looked up at the principal.

"You saw that, too." Nie Renfeng spoke at this time, "This problem is not noticed by ordinary people at all, and you can notice it, which proves that you are very attentive." ”

Tan Renhao laughed awkwardly, he just noticed.

"Now, we finally understand why the U.S. military was able to grasp our movements in the previous battles." Nie Renfeng put down the signature pen in his hand. "We have always suspected that there is an American intelligence network within the Empire, otherwise the United States would not have had so much information about the Imperial Navy. But the problem is that the United States does not have the basis for an intelligence network in the empire.

Now, we have figured out that the United States has been using Japan's intelligence network. ”

"But the question is, can the Japanese government-in-exile still control their intelligence network?"

"That's the crux of the matter, otherwise, it wouldn't be a top-secret document." Nie Renfeng sighed, "After the defeat of Japan, their government-in-exile will definitely not be able to fully control the intelligence network, and the only explanation is that we have internal ghosts. ”

Tan Renhao frowned, he also happened to think of this. When the Japanese government fled to the United States, it certainly lost contact with its intelligence network, and there were a lot of problems involved, and in the short term, the Japanese government-in-exile would not be able to make use of its intelligence network. If the United States wants to use Japan's intelligence network, it will definitely have to find a way to plot against a number of important people within the empire.

"This matter has been handed over to the Military Intelligence Agency to be responsible for handling, and the relevant counter-espionage work has been carried out in full swing." Nie Renfeng sighed, "As long as we dig out the inner ghosts, then we can cut off the intelligence sources of the United States." In addition, the Navy's password system must be replaced, and I will let Gan Yongxing be responsible for the relevant preparations. As soon as we find the inner ghost, we will immediately change the password system.

Not many people know about this now, so you have to keep your mouth shut. ”

"Headmaster, I know the severity of the matter." Tan Renhao also sighed secretly, "Counterintelligence work is not within the scope of our duties. This time I went to the capital, mainly to discuss the development of nuclear weapons, right? ”

Nie Renfeng nodded. "Judging from the current attitude of the prime minister, a special agency led by the army, with the full assistance of the navy, will be established to develop nuclear weapons directly to the prime minister. Of course, this is all done in secrecy. ”

Tan Renhao nodded, and didn't ask anything more, at least the prime minister has begun to pay full attention to the development of nuclear weapons, which can be regarded as the best news.
