Chapter 67: Empire Raiders

The program, constitution, and organizational structure were amended one by one, and the party congress was successfully completed

No, Stupfer's arrangement showed his ambition and pragmatism, and he then set aside a full day for the delegates to exchange experiences and discuss development plans, and the Supreme Council proposed a plan for the financing of the activities of the Regions, and allowed the heads of the Regions to propose adjustments according to their work plans. In order to get a more complete understanding of this party, after obtaining Stupf's consent, Lynn asked Crowther, the commissioner in charge of the financial department, for information on economic and financial matters, because before that, the 15 regions of the Baath Party, including the headquarters, had only spent more than $200,000 a year on its activities, which was not small in the post-war German economic depression, but it was certainly not enough to meet the needs of the party's development, and it is not surprising that there are only more than 40,000 regular party members today.

The Führer's old Third Reich, despite the loss of military and political influence on the European continent, and the vast wealth looted and transferred from the Jews and occupied territories during the war, were able to give strong financial support to the secret Baath Party, even though they had invested astronomical sums in the Nordic industrial system, and the Supreme Council had provided a minimum of $120,000 per year for the activities of each Region, after repeated consultations with the Regional Leaders, By the end of the year, the 26 regions had received a total of $5.22 million, nearly 30 times more than in 1946, and Baath headquarters had more than $4 million in strategic funds to deploy. Even the commander of the light pole, who had "airdropped" to the southernmost point, swept away his previous displeasure, fulfilling the eternal adage of "money is easy to do"!

At the end of the day, Lynn got to know the small North German party and its members a lot, and was able to see the potential for development through the appearance of things. Admittedly, it is a very risky but valuable investment for the top of the empire to select such a party for secret cooperation and to invest a huge amount of money. Like Stupffer, many of the delegates have gradually demonstrated their ability to reinvent themselves after shaking off the repression of sinking, and many of the ideas and suggestions for expanding the ranks, increasing the party's popularity, and increasing political competitiveness are quite in line with the current situation and popular psychology. However, time is the biggest problem facing this party and the reich top brass behind the scenes: with less than seven months to go before Germany's first official post-war general election, even with ample funds, the Baath Party can expand several times or even more than ten times in just six months, and the proportion of votes among the 60 million Germans is still too small and too small.

In this case, Lynn made a crucial proposal to Stupfher: to fight the public opinion offensive.

Throughout the history of the rise and consolidation of Hitler's regime, the role of propaganda played by public opinion was of decisive significance, and Stupf was also aware of the fact that he was fortunate enough to receive a face-to-face instruction from the Führer, so he set up a special propaganda office under the Supreme Council of the Party, and planned to invest a large amount of money in propaganda, but he was suffering from a lack of experience in this area and was waiting for the help of the Reich. Since Lynn happened to mention it, the party leader went along with the task of delegating the propaganda to the deputy leader - and the two hit it off.

With only two days to spare, Lynn drove back to the Netherlands that night without staying overnight. As soon as he arrived in Amsterdam, he used the Dutch "Moore" machine-building company under the actual control of the empire to contact Téchmeier and others, and this technical team provided by Bach could be said to be the "professional water army" of this era, with rich experience in making news and swaying public opinion. Three days later, the team leader, Evan Brown. Captain Kernin arrived in Amsterdam alone to receive Lynn's orders. While waiting for a new disguise, the group led by Captain Kernin had already spread out their positions with great skill. By this time, the German press industry had already gone through its most difficult period, they were still buying the pre-war Bremen weekly Newsweek, which was a well-known weekly newspaper in Bremen, for a small amount of money, and then it only took a small investment to transform it into a more timely and influential daily magazine. …,

The business is done beautifully, and the next news and publicity is the time to show the real effort. When Lynn asks Kernen how she can turn a small, obscure party into a party with a positive national profile, Kearnin quickly lays out a step-by-step overall plan, and Lynn adds some of the usual tricks used by the media to it, and it takes only one night for the two men to come up with a plan that is both feasible and daring, but it is only a guiding framework. In addition to the newly launched Bremen International Newsweek, Kernin said that he needs more media resources and a better understanding and analysis of the current mentality and subjective tendencies of the German people, as well as the group differences that exist between different regions.

Thinking that Stupfer was a character who "played a pig and ate a tiger", Lynn would not send Kernin to the headquarters of the Baath Party without scruples, and the effect of the reorganization and adjustment of the party did not show any effect in three or five days, so he used the operation funds allocated by the Reich headquarters to support the Körning group to carry out more public opinion offensives in Germany, and at the same time intensively formed his 7th Detachment team. After the Nuremberg operation, most of the surviving task forces returned to Northern Europe, and the main survivors in Germany were the wounded and their caregivers, who together were less than 50 people, barely the size of a combat platoon, but it was the mysterious special operations force that carried out the sabotage attack mission that surprised Lynn. There are 97 of them, about a third of whom are former Brandenburg special forces soldiers and the rest are mountain-trained paratroopers. During the Nuremberg operation, they divided into small groups to attack and sabotage, causing trouble for the Allied garrisons and causing little damage to themselves. After the rescue operation of the former senior officials of the Third Reich was completely completed, the Imperial Base Camp ordered this special operations force to stay on the mainland to establish a military hiding station, work with the intelligence department to conduct reconnaissance and surveillance of the Allied garrisons, and wait for opportunities to sabotage the allies and attack the garrison generals. Lynn felt that it was important to reconnoiter and monitor the Allied garrisons, but that continued sabotage attacks on German soil were not only indirect, but could even be self-defeating, so she decided to split the Special Operations Force in two, with some personnel continuing to assist the intelligence services and the rest concentrating on northern Germany to form the main operational force of the 7th Task Force with the task force members. Before a large-scale operation is launched, they will step up ambush, sniper, and demolition training, and secretly help the Baath Party clear the "obstacles" in its path.

The Second Counsellor at the German Embassy in the Netherlands worked day after day, except for the occasional outing to meet with friends, Lynn's life was simple and peaceful, and the international situation seemed to be developing in this direction, the delicate confrontation between the Western Allies and the Soviet Union was still in a delicate confrontation that was neither a truce nor an exchange of fire, the bomber groups of the Allied countries had not entered the Soviet-controlled zone for a month to carry out bombing, and the Soviet artillery turned a blind eye to the Allied troops building fortifications under their noses, It is rumored that a technical team composed of international nuclear physicists entered the Soviet military restricted zone to "visit", and so far no evidence of the Soviet Union's possession of atomic weapons seems to have been found, and the subsidence of the war naturally led to another powerful conjecture: whether the conflict between the two camps was instigated by a third power. Speculation about the remnants of the collapse of the Third Reich hiding abroad with secret technology has been repeatedly reported in the press, and even some serious newspapers and periodicals have published such articles, and more and more people agree with this view, and the opposition is also very strong, many large newspapers and periodicals have questioned the "Third Reich conspiracy theory" as a means for the Soviet Union to paralyze the outside world, aimed at delaying time, their army was already at the point of running out of ammunition and food in March, as long as the Allies gritted their teeth and persisted, the Soviet offensive was not only difficult to maintain, It is difficult to even hold the existing front. …,

During the period of secret negotiations between the two sides and the entry of international experts into the Soviet Union for verification, Soviet cargo ships disguised as ships of neutral countries imported medicines and machinery and equipment from neutral countries such as Sweden and Argentina through the Baltic and Pacific routes, and industrial facilities that had been relocated to West Siberia to avoid Allied bombing were producing munitions day and night. Build a European empire even more terrible than it was at the height of the Third Reich!

Along with these shocking texts, opponents have produced photographs to support them: Soviet ships entering Argentine ports, trains laden with munitions speeding to the front, and newly reorganized reserve units secretly marching to the front...... Such evidence is no longer enough to influence the decision-making of the high-level allies, the United States and Britain have even launched another large-scale news censorship at home, a number of newspapers and periodicals that publish news in violation of regulations have been seized, and all writers who publish articles involving sensitive political content must indicate the source of information and information, but these measures can only be aimed at the media of the United States and Britain themselves, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden, Argentina and other neutral countries are still relatively free, while the government cabinet has collapsed, France, which was in political turmoil, also became a "hard-hit area" within the allies. As a result, the uninformed public was torn between two opposing views, fearing both the resurgence of the Third Reich and the flood of Soviet troops, and when the day of June 10, destined to go down in history in a tragic way, people were completely stunned by the loud noise coming from New York: a submarine that appeared to have suffered a mechanical failure surfaced four nautical miles outside New York Harbor, and although it was neither flagged nor painted, the distinctive appearance of the Schuuk-class submarine revealed its "identity", The U.S. shipwrecks who rushed to hear the news found that the gunners on board were dressed as typical Soviet sailors, who refused to surrender to the U.S. forces and confronted them for more than an hour, and when the news spread widely, the nuclear explosion centered on the submarine instantly engulfed the surrounding ships and caused an unprecedented devastating impact on New York・・・・・・
