Chapter 298: Mi Guo owes a beating
It can be said that no other plan in history in the United States has been as meticulous as the Manhattan Project. Because of the power of nuclear weapons and the urgency of the war, this forced the plan to be kept in absolute secrecy so as not to provoke the Germans to accelerate the development of their "Manhattan Project", which was in a very serious situation. However, the United States is doing a good job of counter-espionage, and Zhang Jun has already sent people into their interior, and in order to drag down the United States, it is not yet the time to do it, and when they are halfway through their work, it is the time for these hidden German spies to do it.
After the outbreak of World War II in 1939, the U.S. government stopped publishing and discussing the nuclear research program in the public media, and demanded that the National Academy of Sciences and other media dismiss previous discussions on atomic theory and nuclear research, and refrain from all articles containing words such as "uranium", "neutrons", and "atomic weapons."
The Manhattan Project was huge in scale and involved in a large number of people, with a total of 600,000 Americans involved in the project before and after, and the project was secretly carried out in Tennessee, Ohio, New Mexico, and Washington. With such a large and fragmented program, measures to restrict the media are certainly not enough. The Americans have also made great efforts to make the intelligence agencies of Germany and the former Soviet Union fail again and again, or be deceived.
First of all, each participant in the program signed a strict confidentiality agreement, and even the locals were informed that everything that was happening here was forbidden to spread out, while they encouraged each other to remain silent for the sake of the country.
The Americans have organized a group of very conscientious secret-guarding personnel, who communicate with each other through code words, down to the pieces of paper that record data and the psychological state of each member of the plan, and monitor and record everything in detail, and deal with them one by one, so as to ensure that secrets are not leaked. Since many of the scientists involved in the project were internationally renowned atomic physicists, in order to deceive the German intelligence agencies, they even gave each of the core R&D personnel a code name, and their actions were carefully arranged by the intelligence services, and security personnel were sent to escort them at all times, so as to hide their clues in their actions.
The plan was kept secret so tightly that even its allies, the British, had to be wary, and some say that even the workers never knew what they were making in this vast factory covering several square miles. They only know that there is a small amount of something that is refined from a large amount of uranium ore.
In December 1940, the former Soviet Union, through its military investigator at the military attaché's secretary in the United Kingdom, learned that Britain was conducting a large amount of research on military applications of atomic energy by recruiting nuclear physicists from the British side, and found that the United States was probably doing the same research and that such research was extremely sensitive.
The Soviet military reconnaissance department obtained the contents of the secret talks between US President Franklin D. Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill in Quebec, Canada, on August 19. The two giants signed a secret agreement to jointly develop an atomic bomb. After evaluation by a high-level meeting.
In February 1941, the General Reconnaissance Directorate of the General Staff of the Soviet Red Army used its underground spy in the United States, Arthur ? Adams recruited an American chemist named Kemp, who provided him with a lot of useful information:1 The United States had secretly spent $1 billion on uranium research and production technology development; 2 Thousands of engineers and technicians are working on this. Hundreds of senior doctors are studying the effects of radioactive radiation on the human body, and specialized laboratories have been set up at the University of Chicago and Columbia University where the research is conducted, led by a special committee of military leaders and scientists; 3 The United States is designing air-dropped (nuclear) bombs that produce radiation and shock waves that kill all living things within hundreds of miles.
In March 1941, Adams obtained another 2,500 pages of information on the U.S. nuclear program and samples of nuclear material from Campna, which he presented to Moscow. Soviet spies in the United States and George? Koval, codenamed Delmar, managed to break into the Oak Ridge Nuclear Center in the United States, worked in one of the laboratories, gained a lot of valuable information, and learned about three enriched uranium projects in Oak Ridge
In 1941, the United States also detected that Soviet spies began to infiltrate the program, and in the same year a special counterintelligence corps was set up to deal with espionage affairs, and in 1941 Oppenheimer reported to Perkeley Laboratory Haakon that Morris was interested in approaching him and asked him to provide intelligence to the Soviet Union.
Klaus, a participant in the British nuclear program? Fox was also found to be having an affair with Soviet intelligence, and he confessed to other spies in 1941, which led to a crackdown on Harry? Kim, David? Greengrass, Julius and Ethel? The arrest of Rosenberg and others, while the Soviet spy George? Koval and nuclear physicist Theodore? Hall narrowly escaped.
Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union are also deceitful in their strategic weapons that have a bearing on the future and destiny of their countries, and there is no distinction between allies, and some are only national interests.
……
The SS annihilated the British Mediterranean fleet, and the route from Sicily to North Africa was basically safe, at this time the British also had a fleet in Gibraltar, called the H fleet, the strength of this fleet was far inferior to the British Mediterranean fleet, and now even the powerful British Mediterranean fleet was annihilated, which H fleet would never dare to send to death, since the H fleet would not come to send, Zhang Jun would not take the initiative to attack the British H fleet now, you must know that the British anti-aircraft fire of the fortress of Gibraltar is quite intensive, At this time, it is still not the time for Zhang Jun to deal with the H fleet.
Zhang Jun began to command the landing of SS troops, and the few remaining French destroyers and some submarines were enough to establish an anti-submarine protection ring for these transport ships, and Rommel's defense was becoming more and more difficult, and the Anglo-American coalition forces were storming Tunisian ports every day, but unfortunately they were really unable to drive Rommel out to sea.
On the night of January 16, 1941, Zhang Jun commanded more than 400 ships to begin to land in the port of Tunis, such a big movement, of course, the British and American forces also knew, so they immediately dropped artillery bombardment at the port, Rommel was also desperate to counterattack, in the whole night of landing, the SS still paid a lot of price, about 3,000 people were killed, and there were almost more than 50 tanks that fell into the sea, although the SS paid such a big price, they still landed in the port of Tunisia. About 100,000 men landed that night, and the Anglo-American forces tightly encircled Tunisia, and the number had increased to 800,000.
These 1230,000 people to attack the 800,000 British and American coalition troops, it is still possible to short-distance, long-distance is not easy to say, after all, this point of strength is too small, although this number of troops is not very many, it is not realistic to drive the 800,000 British and American troops out of Tunisia, but Zhang Jun still ordered to attack, Zhang Jun just wanted to drive the British and American coalition forces behind, expand the encirclement a little, so that the artillery of the British and American coalition forces could not directly attack the Tunisian port.
On the morning of the 17th, the SS of the Tunisian encirclement launched a comprehensive **, both sides sent a large number of planes to participate in the war, the British and American **-29 bombers also came to help the war, Zhang Jun also did not hesitate to let his **-29 carry aerial bombs to participate in the war, the planes of both sides have been in full swing, there are mutual damage, no one can destroy the other party's air force in a short time, but the German "six masters" are more advanced than the British and American jets, so each other's aircraft loss ratio is 31. The loss of German aircraft is much less, but the aircraft productivity of Britain and the United States is five times that of Germany, and if it continues to fight like this, the SS air force will be absolutely finished, so the ground war must be won and lost as soon as possible.
On the same day, the SS took advantage of the armor advantage to expand the encirclement of Tunisia to about 30 kilometers, and the Tunisian port was basically safe, and on the evening of the 18th, it was an all-night transport, and on the 20th, the British and American coalition forces began to organize a retreat, because the number of SS SS landings at this time had reached 600,000, and Zhang Jun had decided to launch a full-scale counterattack the next day, but the British and American troops had begun to retreat rapidly.
Although Zhang Jun sent a pursuit force, he also referred to the pursuit of some Anglo-American troops behind the palace, and the main force of the Anglo-American coalition army all retreated towards Mandela, and the main force of the Anglo-American army retreated towards Mandela, and the main force was 800 kilometers away from Mandela, because when the SS landed, it mainly transported tanks and personnel, and the cars basically did not land, how dare not pursue it, Zhang Jun would definitely not be so stupid, and he could not pursue a mechanized force like the American army without any logistical support.
Of course, bombing was also necessary, and of course British and American planes would also come to escort them, and the air forces of both sides launched a fierce air battle on the way to the British and American retreat, and the British and American losses in the retreat were also quite few, tens of thousands of people were there, and the air forces of both sides were still the same.3 1 loss rate.
The loss of the air force has indeed become Zhang Jun's heart disease, because since the beginning of the North African campaign, Zhang Jun's aircraft losses have reached more than 300, and the SS planes have more than 1,200 left, but fortunately, Zhang Jun, the head of the German armament department, because of the use of the weapons integration plan, has doubled Germany's weapons production, and the German national reserves, and this month's production, Zhang Jun's aircraft have slightly exceeded the losses, because the Wehrmacht's air force also needs to be replenished. If the North African battlefield continues to be consumed endlessly, the British, American, and Soviet drags will also drag Germany down, so Zhang Jun can only send it to the ground war and completely defeat the United States.
What will Zhang Jun do after completely defeating the United States, will he attack the American mainland and then occupy the United States? Wrong, wrong is outrageous, Germany absolutely does not have the strength to occupy the whole world, God wants it to perish, must make it crazy, Zhang Jun can of course know the strength that Germany has, I am afraid that Hitler is arrogant to the point of ignorance, the distance between the United States mainland and any piece of land in Germany is more than 20,000 kilometers, Germany absolutely does not have the naval strength to attack the United States, in this case, after Zhang Jun defeated the United States, he forced the United States to return to the negotiating table, and the United States will be in the future Xian was also beaten to the negotiating table by us, so the United States is a bit "**", if you don't hurt him, he won't admit defeat, and the two words to send the United States are just underwhelming.
