Chapter 118: Start-up of a new motor
Taking a taxi back to his accommodation, Lynn asked Schar, "Alfred, how much do you know about radar technology?" β
"Just know the basics." Skal replied.
Too lazy not to go around in circles, Lynn said frankly: "Colonel Andriy got the news that the Erlikon Company intends to develop radar fire control. Baron Pifil, who owned only a medium-sized company engaged in metal casting, was like an ordinary horse, and in order to stand out from the crowd, we had to put a sharp horn on it. β
Askar literally, "Let it be a unicorn?" β
"Whether it's a unicorn or a unicorn, it's important to be able to work smoothly with Erikon." After that, Lynn pulled Schar and whispered: "The base has cutting-edge radar technicians and equipment, and what we need to do now is to help Pifil's company obtain legal qualifications in this regard." I also discussed with Colonel Andriy that we should start at the same time in several ways: to acquire purely scientific research institutions in the field of radio, to obtain written technical licenses in radar technology from military enterprises such as Gemar, and to recruit some radio technicians from the German diaspora. In short, be fast and try not to attract attention from the outside world. β
Although Schar nodded, he still said with some doubts: "Sir, are you sure that Baron Pifil will cooperate with us?" β
Lynn replied, "I can't say absolutely, but I think it's still very certain." Personally, what I value is not his business, but his personality and reputation. Such an old-fashioned old German aristocrat had been in Switzerland for more than twenty years, and the people around him, including the factory workers, had a fair evaluation of him, and his character was relatively reliable. If I look for other Swiss companies, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find a truly credible one in a short period of time, and if it is a complete acquisition of a certain company, and a large-scale adjustment of internal personnel, it will attract some attention from the outside world! β
Schar pondered for a moment and praised, "You are indeed very thoughtful. β
Lynn was not pleased with the compliment, and he advised, "Let's do it!" The more discreet and cautious it is, the safer it is, and if you have any doubts in this regard, you can also check with Colonel Andri. β
"I understand!" Schar replied dryly.
For the next two days, Lynn and the others waited for the special commissioners of the base's staff and gendarmerie department. Under the arrangement of Berning and Baron Pat, he attended some relatively traditional social occasions, and gradually contacted and befriended the upper class people of Neiva, and obtained various information through this way of communication, which laid the foundation for later work.
The Andries should be the most familiar and good at this kind of communication, but unfortunately they are already familiar faces in the upper social circles of the Third Reich, and they may be recognized by the rich class in Switzerland, so they can only participate in such activities with caution. In contrast, although Courtland is accustomed to seeing the big world, he is not good at words, and his speech is often too straightforward, and he does not belong to the type that can be mixed everywhere. On the other hand, his wife, Alaire, who was born into a wealthy merchant family, was cheerful and ingenious, and was often quick to open up the scene when conversing with people.
As for Lynn, an ordinary young man born and raised in a civilian family, he had always been a low-level combatant when he first came to this era, and he had no innate talent for these high-level social activities, and his only experience came from contact with high-ranking generals and officials when he was at the base, but despite being a German-speaking country, Switzerland's cultural habits were still quite different from those of Germany, and he had to be careful not to slip his mouth when talking to people, like learning to ride, Lynn quickly became tired of this kind of social situation and had no confidence, Especially for those "big flies" who like to buzz around Dinah regardless of age. Fortunately, Dinah is not the kind of merry woman who can bring it out and can't take it back, and she has always been able to deal with the courteous, flattering, flattering, and even slightly overt admiration of men other than her husband, without spoiling the atmosphere, so that bankers, entrepreneurs, political officials, and people from other countries who hold diplomatic, investment, and tourist statuses can not take advantage of it at all.
This is also what Lynn is very pleased about.
The three-day period came in a blink of an eye, and through the surveillance arranged by Baron Pat, Lynn learned that von. During this time, Baron Pifil only visited a few old friends who also emigrated from Germany in the 20s, most of whom had the same experience of serving in the Kaiser's army, the highest rank was once a colonel, and their life in Switzerland was basically low-key and peaceful, as if they were completely cut off from their past lives.
On this drizzling afternoon, Lynn and Schar arrived at the Piffer family's house in the usual taxi from Neiva, and this time Baron Pifil sent his second son, Sigfred, to greet him at the door.
Looking at the unrestrained Sigfred. Feng. Pifil also put on the orthodox clothes, and Lynn knew that there was a score for this.
Walking through the neat courtyard to the living room, Lynn saw that Baron Pifil was wearing a gray double-breasted military uniform with no rank and no military identification, which was very different from the new German uniform of the Third Reich, but the style was traditional and simple, and his burly and muscular body still looked imposing.
The two men who stood with Baron Pifil were about the same age as him, one was short and dark, with dark skin that did not look like a white man at all, but with a high nose, blue eyes, and blond-brown hair, they were typical of Western faces, and wore a dark blue military suit, which was closer to the uniform style of the Third Reich Navy. The other man was not very tall, with a large hooked nose, and his chin raised at an angle greater than that of Baron Pifil or Lawrenz. Bach's was bigger, almost diagonally upward, his eyes down, his trousers almost identical to Baron Pifil's, and an unadorned vest jacket on his upper body.
None of the three wore military caps or any Badges of Honor.
Once the two young guests were seated, Baron Pifil introduced: "This is Otto. Waldman, this is Anton Anderson. Fasen, they are all friends of mine for many years, absolutely trustworthy partners. β
The names of the two men, Lynn, had been learned from Baron Pat, a former lieutenant officer of the German Navy's High Seas Fleet, who had served as a staff officer on the battlecruiser Moltke and had participated in the epoch-making Battle of Teland. The other was an ace pilot during the Second Empire, who shot down a total of 11 Allied fighters.
"Here, please forgive us for our recklessness and agitation, and allow us to pay tribute to our respected predecessors as virtuous people!"
Lynn stood up and took Schar with him and gave the traditional military salute to the three men in front of him, even though they all belonged to the SS, a controversial force that usually only raised hands and owed personal allegiance to the FΓΌhrer.
The seniors didn't ask these questions, and were even a little surprised by the actions of the two young people. Baron Pifil and his left-hand former German Navy Lieutenant Commander Alto. Waldman is basically immobile, only the veteran ace of air combat, Anton. Fassen returned the salute in a dignified manner.
Baron Pifil said with a cold face: "We have long been out of the German military sequence, and today's dress is only to show our loyalty and love for Germany, not to a certain army, a certain regime or a certain person, I hope you can put this situation in the right position!" β
"It's us who are being too reckless!" Lynn again offered to apologize.
Pifil was originally just like to dissociate himself from the Third Reich, but seeing that Lynn was so low-profile and sincere, he stopped talking about the topic and said calmly:
"I have carefully considered the suggestions made by the two of you before, and if everything is as you say, I am willing to cooperate with you unconditionally, and my two old friends also hope to be able to help tens of millions of innocent civilians in the motherland, and we do not want to see Germany fall back into division."
Sure enough, only when Germany faces the doom of division can these souls who choose to escape be reawakened, Lynn is not only thinking about the three people in front of him, but the large number of Germans who emigrated abroad in different eras they represent, they are scattered in Europe and even around the world It seems that it is just a few fragments of sand and stones, but as long as they can gather their strength, even if it is only a part of it, they can obtain quite amazing energy.
"Yes, our wish is simple, we do not want Germany to be divided, we do not want the German people to die in batches in cold and hunger." Dark-skinned Otto in a former German Navy uniform. Waldman replied.
Anton. Fassen clasped his hands to his chest: "If possible, drive those filthy occupiers out of Germany as soon as possible!" β
Lynn calmly observed the expressions and expressions of the three of them as they spoke, and after a moment's thought, he said: "This is indeed what we have been thinking about for several months, and in addition to Switzerland, our like-minded partners are also actively running around in other countries. It is now almost certain that the first grain procured from the Americas will arrive in Europe before the middle of winter, and they are doing everything they can to get it into the Allied occupation zone. As for our goal now, it is somewhat akin to money laundering - to put the money that originally belonged to the Third Reich into operation, to ensure that it is not seized because of what the Allies consider to be illegal surnames. Working with Erlikon was our first goal, then the wreck of the Tirpitz that sank alone in Northern Europe, and the third step was the re-establishment of industry with the help of the Nordic wilderness. β
This leapfrog step had been in Lynn's mind for a long time, and to outsiders who didn't know the inside story, it seemed like a very complicated way to launder money laundering.
After some thought, Baron Pifil looked at Lynn and said: "We have also heard some news about Ericon, the financial requirement for this cooperation is not less than 20 million Swiss francs, and they want to cooperate with a company that has the technology to produce electrical equipment, and none of our current situation is in line with it. β
"Yes. But your business will soon meet these criteria, and a huge inheritance of Β£3.5 million will go directly into your business, and then you and your friends will quickly buy up several radio companies in Switzerland and Italy, and set up a high-level research laboratory in Neiva. All of this is no longer a dream, and suddenly it becomes a reality. Lynn didn't pose as a magician, but it made the three in front of her feel incredible.
