Chapter 398: Atomic Bomb Development (Part II)
When Heisenberg was summoned by Rommel alone to the Führer's office, there was not only Rommel but also the commander of the SS Reich division, Beatrich. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Heisenberg, of course, knew Bitrich, the SS general, but he couldn't figure out why Führer Rommel had summoned both of them at the same time.
When Rommel saw that the chief German scientist was coming, he quickly stood up, walked in front of Heisenberg, and took the initiative to extend his hand.
This was the first time Heisenberg had been in such close contact with Führer Rommel, and he had only seen it in newspapers before, and his enthusiasm for Führer Rommel could only passively and blankly shake hands with Führer Rommel.
"Mr. Heisenberg, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend this meeting, thank you."
Heisenberg was not an official, he did not need to be a Führer of Rommel at all, a scientist has the arrogance of a scientist.
"Hehe, it's a bit busy, because the experimental data is too large, and I don't have the money to recruit a huge computing team, and the German team's investment in the atomic bomb project is really unsatisfactory, only 10 million marks a year.
Führer Rommel, if you want to build the atomic bomb before the United States, you should increase your investment in the atomic bomb project, otherwise I can't do anything. ”
What is a scientist, this is, what is a scientist with real skills, this is what he does not come with you at all, even if you are the head of state, he will not be with you in vain.
"Mr. Heisenberg, I like your straightforward personality very much, I am looking for you this time to solve all your difficulties, whatever you need, even if you ask, I will try to meet your requirements."
"Führer Rommel, that's what you said."
"There is no lie, just ask for it! But my demand is that Germany must build the atomic bomb by January 44. ”
"That's it! Then I need two billion marks a year for research and development, and I need ten computers made in the United States, and I have absolute autonomy in the project. ”
When Bitrich heard that the annual research and development cost of the atomic bomb was actually 2 billion marks, that was 800 million dollars, and a Leopard tank was only 100,000 marks, and these research and development costs could buy almost 20,000 Leopard tanks, or the same number of Tiger tanks.
Bitrich held his breath, he didn't dare to interrupt Rommel's conversation at this time, Rommel suddenly called him today, and he knew that there must be a very important task today.
Rommel made a rough calculation in his mind that the annual R&D expenditure of 2 billion marks, at this time, the exchange rate is 1 US dollar is equal to 2.5 marks, and these R&D expenses are equivalent to 800 million US dollars, and it is only 2.4 billion US dollars in three years.
The Manhattan Project of the United States has spent more than $3 billion before and after, and Germany's research and development expenses are hundreds of millions less than those spent by the United States, and the remaining hundreds of millions of dollars can be used to purchase thousands of Leopard tanks.
"Mr. Heisenberg, I agree to all your requests, I will give you two hundred and forty thousand dollars at one time, and I will also give you full responsibility for Germany's atomic bomb project, and your decision is mine.
As for the American-made computers, we have only smuggled three through Switzerland during this time, and the previous seven have already been allocated, so I can only allocate all three smuggled to you.
For the rest, I'll let the German intelligence agencies try to get it for you, so don't worry, just do a good job of researching, and I'll find someone for you to even do the security of your atomic bomb project.
This is General Bitrich, who will lead the entire loyal Imperial Division to protect you, and I ask Heisenberg to cooperate with General Bitrich.
Because Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union already knew about our atomic bomb project, they would definitely try their best to sabotage our atomic bomb project.
The atomic bomb is the last means of saving Germany's life, and Germany's future depends on the atomic bomb to protect it, so on behalf of all the Germanic people, I ask Mr. Heisenberg to develop a powerful atomic bomb as soon as possible...... Please. ”
After Rommel finished speaking, he really bowed deeply to Heisenberg in front of him, which would have been unthinkable in Hitler's time.
Although Heisenberg's temper was a bit eccentric, Heisenberg was really moved by Rommel's sincerity, which of course had a lot to do with Rommel's generous R&D expenses of $2.4 billion.
"Everything for Germany, I will do my best to build an atomic bomb as soon as possible, please rest assured that our early research and development has accumulated a lot of experience and data, and now that the funds are in place, our research and development progress will be very fast."
Rommel quickly wrote a check to Heisenberg, then handed it to Heisenberg and said:
"That's $2.4 billion, ask Mr. Heisenberg to take the check to Deutsche Bank, and $2.2 billion will be transferred to your professional account immediately."
"Thank you, the great Führer Rommel."
Heisenberg left Rommel's Führer's office contentedly, and after Heisenberg got the money, Rommel's name changed, and it seems that scientists are not exempt from vulgarity!
"General Bitrich, do you know your mission now?"
"Smack", Bitrich put his feet together, straightened his arms and replied:
"Hey! Rommel, having known, protected the German atomic bomb project well from the enemy sabotage. ”
"Well, you immediately transfer the heavy water production line in Norway to the underground production base in Germany, remember that all the equipment is airlifted by air, the fighter jets escort the whole process, and at the same time order a few more sets of heavy water production lines at the relevant production plants, we can't put all our eggs in one basket.
General Bitrich, the atomic bomb project is about the future of Germany, please be extremely careful not to allow spies to take advantage of the situation, all the inner guards must be the most loyal and reliable people, and all must be cut off from all contact with the outside world.
In short, I will leave all the security of the atomic bomb project to you, and in order to protect her, you must protect her like your own eyes. ”
"Hey! Rommel, I swear by my honor that I will protect the atomic bomb project and never let the enemy destroy it, otherwise I will come to see you. ”
Rommel waved his hand:
"I don't want your head, I want the atomic bomb project to be safe, can you do it?"
"I can, in the Imperial Division, there are a large number of loyal soldiers who have served for more than ten years, are innocent, and have no overseas connections, and absolutely no one of them is a spy, and they will be the core guard force of the atomic bomb project."
"Okay, then you can follow your own security rules! Please add a clause to the security regulations that the Führer cannot enter the core area of the atomic bomb project. ”
Rommel's meaning is very clear, even I can't enter the core area of the atomic bomb project, don't think about it anymore, aren't you British and American spies very powerful? If you can't enter the heart of the atomic bomb project, you won't be able to carry out sabotage!
Rommel did everything he should have done, and as for whether Germany's atomic bomb could be built before the United States, it was not up to Rommel to control it, and it could only be up to Heisenberg, a scientist.
