Chapter 462: The Boat of Friendship

"Mr. Weizmann, I wish you a pleasant journey. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Thank you."

Haim. Professor Weizmann smiled and took his passport from a British customs officer at the Port of Liverpool. Then he nodded at one of his assistants and said, "James, let's get on the boat." ”

"Okay, Professor."

The man named James was probably in his 40s, and he looked like an out-and-out English gentleman. He is a teaching assistant in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Manchester and has recently become a laboratory assistant to Professor Weizman. But Professor Weizmann was well aware that his new assistant had a background, either MI5 or MI6 - he had been sent to spy on Professor Weizmann.

However, Professor Weizmann understands this kind of surveillance very well, because he is a figure who should be closely monitored. All this time he had two identities, a famous chemist and a leader of the Zionist movement!

Unlike Albert Einstein, another Zionist scientist of the era, Weizmann stayed in England all along, following the route of the British Empire. Not only was he active in seeking support among the British elite, but he was also contributing to the British Empire's war machine - during the First World War he was researching smokeless explosives for the British, and now he is developing high-octane gasoline for the British.

In addition, he was a pro-British leader in the Zionist movement. After the start of the Second World War, he more than once made speeches on radio to Germany, calling on European Jewish scientists not to work for the German Reich. Moreover, he repeatedly called on the Jewish self-government organizations in Palestine to submit to the leadership of the British Empire and work together against the German and Italian invaders.

This attitude certainly won the favor of the British, and it was the reason why he was able to travel frequently between Britain and the United States during the war. But this trust changed dramatically after the German-Italian forces won the Battle of the Mediterranean.

Not only are most of the Jews now under German control, but even Palestine, the homeland of the Jews, will fall into German hands.

If Haim . If Professor Weizmann is really a Zionist, then he should go to Germany, and only Germany.

But Haim . Professor Weizmann showed no sign of defecting to Germany, and just a few days earlier he had developed an additive for Britain that could increase the octane number of gasoline.

Today he is going to take an American cruise ship to the United States to discuss synthetic rubber technology with a few colleagues - although there is no shortage of rubber in Britain and the United States, but the threat of Japan to the rubber producing regions of Southeast Asia is well known, so British and American chemists have begun to study synthetic rubber

And Haim . Professor Weizmann was also an expert in this area, so the British government did not prevent him from going abroad. After all, Professor Weizman was on an American cruise ship, and he was accompanied by British agents, so he should not be able to escape.

When Professor Weizmann boarded the American cruise ship named "Princess Mississippi", the cruise ship "Gothenburg" flying the Swedish flag was parked at a berth next to the "Princess Mississippi". The destination of the "Gothenburg" was also the United States, and it was very coincidental. It left the Port of Liverpool at a very close time to the time when the Mississippi Princess left, almost fore and aft.

"Colonel Smeltenburg, are you absolutely sure that the professor is on that 'Mississippi Princess'?"

In the captain's cabin of the "Gothenburg", Captain Colt . Colonel Weich and Colonel Val T. Schlenberg of the German Central Security Service were talking in secret behind closed doors. This Colt. Colonel Weich was not a Swedish colonel, but a genuine Wehrmacht naval colonel.

Before taking over the Gothenburg, he was the captain of an auxiliary cruiser (i.e., camouflaged assault ship), which sank 10 British merchant ships in the Atlantic, for which he was awarded the Knight's Iron Cross. After completing a year-long mission to break diplomatic relations at sea, he became the captain of the Swedish registered intelligence-gathering ship "Gothenburg".

The so-called "intelligence gathering ship", as the name suggests, is used to collect intelligence. Under the banner of neutral Sweden, the ship can fly in and out of the ports of the United Kingdom and Canada, and can also sail on the North Atlantic route. Sometimes they could follow behind the butts of British convoy groups and send their coordinates to the German submarine headquarters in Wilhelmshaven by telegram (plain code).

In order to better disguise itself, the "Gothenburg" also went to salvage the British crew members who had fallen overboard after the German submarine attacked, and sent them safely to British or American ports. Therefore, this "Gothenburg" is also on the "good guy list" of the British Royal Navy, and every time it enters and leaves a British port, it will get some preferential treatment and convenience.

But today the "Gothenburg" is not following the British fleet, but an American merchant ship.

"Absolutely sure!" Val T. Schellenberg replied, "Send a telegram to the headquarters now." ”

"Okay." Colt. Colonel Wich nodded, "So that we can wound it in the waters close to the Azores!" ”

That's right, it's a wound! Wound an American merchant ship! It was a bit risky, but it was the only way to quickly "rescue" Professor Weizman, who was firmly guarded by the British.

This Haiem. Weizmann was an important figure, not only did he have the recipe for high-octane gasoline that Germany desperately needed, but he was also one of the most important leaders of the Zionist movement, and he was the best candidate for the presidency of the State of Israel.

And the State of Israel is very important for what is now Germany! Germany's policy towards the Jews of Europe now is to give them their own homeland - to give them a country, but not to drive them out of Europe immediately. Because that's millions of hard-working, very capable laborers, and there are many scientists like Professor Weizmann. Germany needs them to work hard, but it can't make all of them Germans, so it needs to create a homeland for them. And this Jewish homeland must be firmly controlled by Germany!

"There won't be any surprises, right?" Val T. Scherenberg asked, "Will your submarine be able to catch this American cruise ship?" This kind of cruise is fast, right? ”

"No problem," said Colt. "We also have seaplanes ready to take off from Spain," said Colonel Wich. If a submarine attack does not work, it is carried out by seaplanes. ”

Before the Battle of the Mediterranean, it was impossible for German seaplanes to take off from Spain. However, the situation was different now, and Franco, although he had not yet finally agreed to enter the war, had agreed to allow German seaplanes and submarines to use the ports of Galicia, Spain (near the Atlantic). Thus, a He-115 seaplane with a torpedo attached could operate near the Azores.

"It's not going to sink the American ship, is it?" Val T. Schellenberg asked with some trepidation.

The plan to injure an American cruise ship and then have the "Gothenburg" rescue people, and by the way, abduct Professor Weizmann was Szlenberg's idea. Because he was afraid of triggering a war with the United States, Schellenberg did not dare to sink the American ship, but only dared to injure it.

"There will be no problem, everything has been arranged." Colt. Colonel Weich stood up, straightened his uniform, and said to Schellenberg with a smile, "Don't worry, this Weizmann professor will fall into our hands before dark tomorrow." ”

……

"Mr. Gurion, Professor Weizmann will arrive in Alexandria safely, the day after tomorrow at the latest."

The plan to "rescue" the future president of Israel was personally approved by Hersman, and now he himself is still in Alexandria, Egypt, and lives in the former British Consulate, a very grand and stately house, which is full of the glory of the British Empire. However, the swastika flag of the German Empire is now hoisted here.

This afternoon, the future Prime Minister of Israel, hairstyle looks very strange Ben. Gurion and the leader of the Arab social revival movement, Michel Murphy. Affrak, at the same time, was invited over. For the sake of the two interrelated events, of course, the Zionist State and the Arab Revival.

"Mr. Affrak, sit down too." Hersman smiled and greeted Michelle, who had an ugly face. Affrak. "I invite you here today to tell you about the Jewish restoration and Syrian independence. This is Mr. Gurion, the chairman of the Zionist Executive Council, who will soon become Prime Minister of the independent State of Israel. Mr. Gurion, the leader of the Arab Ba'ath movement, Mr. Afraq, I think he will be elected Prime Minister of the independent Syrian Republic. I hope that the two of you will become good friends in the future so that the traditional friendship between Israel and Syria can be further developed. ”

Does a traditional friendship exist between Arabs and Jews? Affrak and Gurion glanced at each other and shook hands politely, it seems that there is still hope for peaceful coexistence between the two countries in the future.

But even if the Jews and Arabs don't get along, it doesn't matter, it will be fine if you fight the Arab-Israeli war a few more times, and if you don't fight, you won't know each other!

Hersman nodded with a smile and said, "Hopefully, today will be a historic moment, the beginning of the Arab and Jewish peoples becoming friendly neighbors again after more than a thousand years of separation." ”

"I would also like to make a formal announcement of our German government's policy on the Arabian Peninsula." Hersmann's voice had already softened, and he said, "At a time when all mankind is united in their opposition to British Imperial colonialism, we, the German Empire, want the people of the Arabian Peninsula to abandon all prejudices, coexist peacefully, and stand together on an anti-colonial and anti-imperialist stand." If either side violates our policy and provokes conflict and war in the Arabian Peninsula before we defeat the British, then they will be regarded as British accomplices and lackeys and will be ruthlessly eliminated. In addition, what we support in the Arabian Peninsula is a secular, progressive force, and we hope that one or more Turkish-style states will emerge on the Arabian Peninsula. (To be continued.) )
