Hearing Manturov's evaluation of his research results, Rurika finally understood the reason why Manturov was in a high position at a young age, and couldn't help but look at him with admiration and awe. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This young man not only has a long-term vision, but also has a spirit of "insisting on the truth (or choosing the good)". Although some of the young man's ideas were not shared with Stalin at first, time will tell as long as she persists.

If he hadn't insisted on building a defensive line along the old border, the Germans would have occupied Minsk and reached Moscow. If he had not firmly supported the development of the T-34 tank, La-7, and Yak-3 fighters, I am afraid that the casualties of the Soviet Red Army would have been even heavier.

Rurika looked at Stalin's hesitant look, fearing that he would not be able to make up his mind, and added: "Comrade Manturov is quite right. In fact, whether it is Germany, the United Kingdom, or the United States, they have already started the research and development of jet aircraft engines, and they have made considerable progress.

At present, our engine technology has lagged behind that of Western countries, and if we do not continue to develop them, I am afraid that the technological gap between us and Western countries will only widen.

As long as the Soviet government can continue the research and development of jet aircraft engines as soon as possible, and give us enough manpower and sufficient resources, we will definitely do our best to work hard to close the technological gap between our country and Britain, the United States, and Germany, and even surpass them! ”

Originally, after listening to Manturov's alarmist words, Stalin, who was not willing to lag behind Western countries, was already a little tempted, and then heard Rurika's sentence "Strive to bring back the technological gap between our country and Britain, the United States, and Germany, and even surpass them!" Stalin, who had always not been far behind the capitalist countries, finally made up his mind to develop it.

"Comrade Rurika!" Stalin stood up and looked at the engineer in a suit in front of him with appreciative eyes, "We will provide enough manpower, enough resources to support you to continue to develop that kind of ...... Jet engines!

Remember, you must do everything in your power to accelerate research and development, and our technology cannot lag behind the Germans and the British! Our progress, be sure to catch up with them! ”

In this way, Manturov successfully took advantage of Stalin's unwillingness to be left behind, and won the opportunity for Ryurika to develop research and development, as well as the funds and manpower needed for research and development.

At this time, Manturov thought of another black technology project - the atomic bomb.

In fact, in the Soviet Union at that time, some basic theories for building atomic bombs already existed, but it was still too early to start developing nuclear bombs.

After all, although there were some basic theories about the complexity of the nuclear bomb, the Soviet Union's nuclear fission theory was not yet mature at that time, and it would still be possible to meet Frolev (the Soviet scientist who developed the atomic bomb) to see how nuclear fission was studied, and to "popularize" the principle of the nuclear bomb.

"Report to the marshal, there is an Estonian who wants to see you."

With the assistance of the Estonian nationalist partisans, the Nazi German army easily broke through the Soviet defense line, and in less than half a month of fighting, it had already quickly advanced close to Estonian territory and captured Tallinn, the capital of Estonia.

At this moment, except for Narva in the northeast, which was still in the hands of the Soviet army, the entire territory of Estonia had been occupied by Nazi Germany and Estonian nationalists, and the headquarters of the German Army Group North had no scruples about moving to Tallinn, the capital of Estonia.

"Invite him in." The person who spoke was Field Marshal Wilhelm von Reeb, commander of Army Group North of the Wehrmacht.

While Army Group South was unable to attack and Army Group Center had another Army Group (the Second Tank Group) encircled and annihilated, his Army Group North, with the help of the Estonians, easily took the three Baltic states, and finally did not lose face in the Third Reich.

Thus, in World War I, Field Marshal Wilhelm von Reeb, who had openly opposed the Nazi regime and sent troops to suppress the coup d'état at the National Beer House, actually gained the trust of his former enemy, Adolf Hitler. Just after his 65th birthday, he also received a "birthday payment" of 250,000 marks from the Nazi Party.

"Marshal Ribu, I am glad to meet you! Thank you for your support for the national liberation of Estonia! At this time, a man dressed in the uniform of an Estonian major walked in: Friedrich Kurg, the leader of the Estonian nationalist partisans.

"Major Kurg, I'm glad to meet you too! Thanks to the Estonian people for their help to our army, we can easily drive the Soviets away and fight for our national independence.

I hope that we will be able to cooperate more in the future to eliminate the hateful Soviet aggressors! "As the commander of Army Group North, Ribu has long had a good opinion of Kurg, who is the leader of the Estonian partisans.

Without the help of the Estonians, let alone attacking Tallinn, even breaking through the Soviet defense line around Tartu would have to pay a great price. This victory, in any case, largely went to the Estonians.

"Without further ado, let's start talking about the next step of cooperation." Kurg, who was in a hurry, only wanted to restore Estonia and make himself a national hero and be admired by future generations.

But in any case, he could not have done it without the help of the Germans. If the Germans had not invaded the Soviet Union, I am afraid that the more than 10,000 Estonian partisans would have been beaten into a sieve by the Soviet army.

Despite being in his native land, Kurg always had a bit of a "parasitic fence" in front of the Germans. He only hoped that the Soviets in Narva would be driven out as soon as possible, and the Germans would be sent away as soon as possible, so that his heart would be at ease.

"How?" Marshal Libu actually had an idea in his heart for a long time, but in order to test the sincerity of the Estonians, he wanted to listen to the other party's opinion before making a final plan.

Kurg looked at the map and said, "Right now, the Soviets still occupy the area around Narva. It should belong to Estonia, and the people there are still under the rule of the Russians.

I hope that your army will join us in the Estonian army to storm the fortress of Narva and drive out the Russians there, so that we can liberate all the territory of Estonia and liberate all Estonians. ”
