On January 23, 1946, after a two-day stay in Denmark, Lynn and his party returned to Norway.

Since that night's conversation, Dinah hadn't mentioned leaving again, and she had regained her usual relaxed smile in front of people, but Lynn felt that the mustard in her heart had not really been lifted. In fact, he didn't sleep in the middle of the night that night, lest Dinah would choose to slip away alone because he couldn't think about it, and in order to deal with the worst situation, he asked Wolfrum and the intelligence officer who lived downstairs to strengthen their guard, but Dinah didn't do such an extremely embarrassing thing after all.

Heading north from southern Norway, Lynn absentmindedly surveyed the situation along the way. After the end of the war, the German [***] troops stationed in Norway were the last to surrender, but as a result of the secret wrestling between the Eastern and Western allies, Britain and the United States did not send troops into Norway to station, and the Soviet troops soon withdrew from northern Norway, which borders their country. Under the leadership of King Haakon VII, the Norwegians soon held post-war elections, and the new political axe pursued a strategy of cooperation with the Western camp, receiving post-war aid from Britain and the United States. However, this aid, which was mainly the supply of basic materials such as food and fuel, was of limited significance to the recovery and development of industry in various places, and Norway's limited industry was at a standstill throughout World War II. In Lynn's eyes, Norway's industry at this time was still dominated by the traditional industries of ore mining, metal smelting and shipbuilding, and the scale of enterprises was generally small, and the only bright spots were its civil ship construction, as well as some special-purpose minerals and processing and refining, including niobium, titanium uranium ore and heavy water resources.

In Oslo, the capital of Norway, Lynn successfully rendezvoused with Andri, Courtland, and others. When they arrived in Norway, the Norwegian passport they had used was valid, but the language became a glaring flaw. So Andriy posed as an investor from Switzerland, and Courtland and Lynn became investors from Spain, while the rest continued to role-play according to their pre-arranged identities. With the cooperation of local intelligence officers and another group of operational members sent by the base, they soon established the "Nordic Mining Consortium" with the enthusiastic help and support of the Norwegian political axe, and the shareholders were Andri, Courtland, and Heinrich. Trencole - Lynn's other colleague at the base camp, co-supplied. In fact, while Lynn was working in Switzerland and transferring funds, a task force led by Lieutenant Colonel Trenkoll began to explore south-central Norway. Due to the fact that the "Vault" base is located in northern Norway, the Empire's intelligence force in Norway is currently the strongest outside of the mainland. At the beginning, Lorentz. When Bach was also chief of the General Staff of the Reich Strategic Staff, he also devised a "Trojan Plan" to send a small group of intelligence officers, along with staunch pro-Germans, to Norway's newly established parliament and political apparatus after the war, relying on money and the help of pro-Germans.

The inside and outside should be combined, and all kinds of things will be much easier to do. Due to the public acquisition of already proven uranium ore is too ostentatious, the "Nordic Mining Consortium" was established only after the establishment of two newly explored deposits, both of which are located in northern Norway, one produces aluminum ore, which can be used as an important raw material for the aviation industry after smelting, and the other produces niobium-titanium uranium ore with a high uranium content, but when the Norwegian political axe was registered, the mineral content was intentionally registered as magnesium ore.

With ore, the establishment of smelting plants is a logical step. This time, Lorentz, who has already established himself in North America. Bach also sent someone to help, they bought an old smelter in the United States a few years ago, signed an agreement with the "Nordic Mining Consortium" in the name of investment, and the American company set up a new smelter in Trondheim, which is already one of the world's only tallest smelters, but the crazy cowboys seem to be interested in challenging the traditional rules of the industry, and they then set up a smaller branch in the northernmost port city of Trothem, Norway, to buy aluminum ore from Norway for smelting. Iron ore is also purchased from neighbouring Sweden, which is expected to produce around 20,000 tonnes a year when fully operational, and although Norway produces high-quality raw coal, the cost per tonne of smelting at this branch is more than 20 percent higher than in other parts of Europe.

During the stay in Oslo, Lynn's intention was not only to watch the frequent black-box work of these companies of different nationalities, but to stare at the "hot potato" in the hands of the Norwegian political axe, the wreck of the battleship "Tirpitz". Soon after, representatives from Erikon-Pifil arrived in the Norwegian capital. In fact, the operators of the Erikon side were not interested in the "stranded whale" with the main weapons and equipment removed, and it was basically wishful thinking on the part of the Pifil side, except that according to the terms of the original cooperation, the Pitch company had the right to carry out a transaction with less than 50,000 pounds of funds under the big hat of a joint enterprise (the wreck of the Tirpitz was sold for 120,000 Norwegian kroner in history, which is less than 10,000 pounds in the same amount).

As Lynn expected, Baron Pifil's second son, a young man with a lot of self-pressure, Sigfred . Feng. Pitfil came as a representative of the company, accompanied by Otto, a naval officer from the former Second German Empire who had lived in Switzerland for more than 20 years and had already obtained Swiss citizenship. Waldman. Although the Swiss Erlikon Arms Company did not actually operate on a scale that was truly a big business, its fame was so great that the Norwegian political officials very politely received the Swiss who brought their own translators. In order to demonstrate the sincerity of the acquisition, which was in fact Lynn's proposal, the representative of Erlikon-Pifil offered the Norwegian side a comprehensive plan for the acquisition, including the specific use of the Tirpitz wreck: the issuance of four series of 200,000 to 500,000 commemorative coins, the custom-made models of more than 4,000 ships sunk by various countries during World War II, and the construction of an all-metal war memorial in the port of Tromsø, near the site of the ship's sinking. Obviously, this is a huge and active war memorial project, and the only thing that can be beneficial to the promotion of the company is to put the name Erlikon-Pifil on every product. Although Norwegian officials did not respond immediately, officials privately praised the Swiss company's proposal, and they were also intrigued by the Swiss original price plus the later share. If the coins and models sell well, the revenue may far exceed their initial expectations.

Although the Tirpitz actually lies on its side on the Norwegian land shelf, and has spent most of its limited "life" in Norwegian territorial waters, the right to dispose of it is not entirely in the hands of the Norwegian political axe. Shortly after the representatives of the Erikon-Pifil Company arrived in Oslo and proposed a takeover plan to the Norwegian political axe, the two British generals "parachuted" into Oslo, and they paid a visit to the Norwegian Prime Minister accompanied by the British diplomatic attaché in Norway.

"Expected." "The Tirpitz was sunk by the British Air Force, and for the sake of our 'Queen of the North,' they spent a lot of effort, used all kinds of means, and lost a lot of personnel, and even a considerable part of the strength of the home fleet was pinned down in the northern seas." I always thought that they would buy the wreckage of this battleship and disassemble it after the war, just like they did with the naval relics of the Second Empire. ”

What the Chief of Intelligence of the Imperial Strategic Staff said, Lynn knew a little bit. After the defeat of the Second Reich, the main force of the High Seas Fleet was escorted to Scapavolo in England as war reparations, and before the armistice was officially signed, the German naval officers and sailors who accompanied the ships were worried that their warships would be used to attack their homeland because they misheard rumors, so they chiseled most of the seized warships under the leadership of the officers, which was the first "Operation Rainbow". Later, the British salvaged some of these ships, either for naval gun firing tests, or simply dismantled them into scrap steel.

"You say...... Could they have come to investigate the identity of the funders? There was nothing wrong with Erikon, but Pifil had something to do with Germany, and the old-fashioned British would not forget the hardships of the two world wars - under the Atlantic, most of the wreckage was British ships sunk by the German Navy! ”

"Inevitably!" "If I were British," replied calmly, "I would have investigated the identity of the financiers and found out what their purpose was in buying the wreckage of the German battleship." Then again, Chief Gargo, your advice is brilliant...... Commemorative coins, models and monuments are all to suit all appetites, and one of our biggest competitors at the moment is the Soviets, who the British political axe is not happy to cheapen, and the other is the local Norwegian scrap steel recycling companies, which are not as competitive as ours. ”

For the former boss who half ridiculed himself as a "chief", although Lynn protested many times to no avail, he still had to mention it every time, and then quipped: "If the British side can pass smoothly, we can give the Queen of England and the British political axe a set of commemorative coins for free, together with more than 2,700 models of their sunken merchant ships." ”

"That's a lot of money!" Andriy punned.

"With the Bismarck sinking into the deep sea, the Tirpitz is the only large German warship visible at the moment, and it would have been a good idea to turn it into a tourist attraction if it had not been for the bad political climate." Lynn said haha in front, and then cut to the chase, "Speaking of which, old sir, when will we be able to start the first phase of the prisoner of war smuggling program?" ”

Andriy turned his head to look at the calendar hanging on the wall: "Strictly speaking, we started this plan last year, mainly dealing with the officials in charge of prisoner of war affairs on the Allied side. As it stands, the Soviet Union is easier to communicate with, as in Siberia, where hundreds of prisoners of war die every month for various reasons. Since some people are willing to sell, the managers of those prisoner of war camps are still eager to get rid of it! ”
