After taking a comfortable shower, Lynn was about to shake before going to bed with his newlywed wife, when she suddenly heard someone entering the hospital at the front door, and then there was a sound of hurried and heavy footsteps. At the moment, after all, he was a "wanted Allied criminal" who had entered the country under a false identity, and he suddenly became alert, turned over and got out of bed, took out a small-caliber pistol from the hidden bedside table, and leaned against the door as if flying, but heard Andri's house talking downstairs.

"Did Chief Gargo sleep? Uh, how long has it been? ”

Thinking that Andriy was not a reckless person, he should have discovered something in such a hurry, so he opened the door and said in the corridor, "Hans, I haven't slept yet, come down immediately." ”

Put the gun back in the dark compartment and kiss Dinah on the forehead: "Sleep first, I'll talk to the colonel below." ”

Going downstairs in his dressing gown, he met a tired Mrs. Andriy on the stairs, only to find Andriy sitting on the sofa in high spirits, with a freshly cut cigar in his mouth.

"So excited, could it be that you have dug up a treasure?" Lynn quipped. If the treasure is really dug up, with Andri's surname and the current friendship between the two of them, this girl will definitely choose to swallow it alone.

Andri looked up and smiled triumphantly, "That's right, I've dug up a treasure, and it's a big treasure!" ”

Lynn sat down across from him and took out a cigarette from the cigarette case on the table and lit it, "Didn't you go to find the lurkers today, and you made a big discovery with them?" ”

"Uh-huh!" Andriy should say, "Guess what? ”

Lynn thought for a moment: "About people...... And it's a high-level technician! ”

Andri's waist bar was so strong that his back bounced straight forward from the back of the couch, and he faced Lynn and said, "Tsk! No wonder Bach thinks so highly of you, and you are really not ordinarily smart! There is a metallurgical engineer who works for us and is currently working at Erlikon. Know Ericon! Swiss arms companies that monopolize the world's 20 and 30 mm caliber machine guns! ”

Lynn nodded, although Erlikon was not as popular as Forbosra in his time, he was still a well-known old brand, and there was no one who did not know his name if he had a little study of World War II military affairs.

In the middle and first half of the 20th century, it was definitely the NO1 of global machine gun weapons.

Narrowing the distance, Andri still said in a low voice: "According to the incognito intelligence officer, in recent months, twenty or thirty senior engineers who originally worked for German [***] industrial enterprises such as Rheinmetall and Krupp Arms have absconded to Switzerland and were secretly hired by Erlikon, which greatly fills the research strength of this Swiss enterprise in machinery and electronics. Shipped but did not receive the money, caused a lot of losses, and is currently looking for a loan or a partner who can invest with cash! ”

As soon as this remark came out, Lynn's eyes almost turned green -- if the shareholding was successful, there would be an opportunity to acquire the "Tirpitz" in the name of the Erikon Company, and Switzerland's status as a neutral country and the name of Erlikon would not easily arouse suspicion and resistance from the allies, and when the dismantling rights were in hand, they would invest in the establishment of a so-called branch in Norway to dispose of the dismantled steel on the spot, and the 20,000 tons of high-quality steel that could still be used for ship construction and ordinary construction projects would be in hand. Isn't it a good opportunity to share the use of Erikon's cannon technology and radar fire control that may make achievements in the future?

After the surprise, Lynn quickly calmed down, and he asked Andriy a few questions one after another: "Is the news reliable?" How much equity is Erlikon going to take out for investment cooperation? Has any bank indicated its willingness to lend? ”

"The news is almost well known within Erlikon, and it should be relatively reliable." Andri replied, "As for the shareholding ratio and bank loans, I have already asked our intelligence officers to investigate, and I believe that there will be news soon." ”

"If we can successfully invest in this Swiss company, your informant will really do a great job!"

As far as Lynn knew, Andri's SS intelligence agents were mainly divided into two categories, one was recruited and trained to become professional spies, disguised to carry out specific tasks, and the other was secretly discovered by the SS from intellectuals, technicians, military personnel and other people who already had a fixed identity, which were called incognito agents. Normally, they joined the SS and remained at their posts, secretly providing the SS with classified information related to their duties, and receiving handsome payments from the SS, which is what Andrie called incognito informants.

Andri nodded wistfully: "Yes, if it succeeds, I am ready to give him a certain equity reward, so that he can work harder for us in the future!" ”

The main situation is optimistic, just like the official news of the "Tirpitz" for sale, it is not easy to deal with the details, unlike RPGs that also come with a disk, once a mistake is made, it is irreparable.

Lynn thought and said, "We have the funds, whether we can use them smoothly or not, it shouldn't be a problem for you, me, and Dipper to join forces." It's just that...... We don't know for sure whether Erikon will allow us strange Norwegian investors to take a stake, and it's not a small business after all, it's a big name all over the world, if they send someone to Norway to verify their identity, or someone with outside motives to check it, will we be able to withstand this kind of verification? ”

Andriy shook his head, it was easy to get a passport, it might not be difficult to forge a file, but if it was to be verified in many ways, there would always be some aspects that could not be concealed. He thought for a moment: "Perhaps, how about we find a suitable agent, and the three of us only act as anonymous funders behind the scenes?" ”

After pondering and pondering, Lynn began to feel a headache, and he replied with authority: "Tomorrow morning, when Deepp gets up, let's discuss it again!" ”

In terms of finance, Courtland and Dickfield have a more professional say, but they are obviously asleep, since they have not taken the initiative to come down, and there is no need to wake them up one by one for this still only eye-brow thing, maybe Courtland is also doing bedtime shaking activities with his wife?

Returning to her room with the smell of smoke, Dinah was already asleep. Although the content of this day's activities is monotonous, you can get up from more than 6 o'clock until 10 o'clock at night before taking a shower and sleeping, and the time span is still quite large. Lynn sat down on the edge of the bed lightly, looking at the side of his newlywed wife in the faint light of the wall lamp. She was indeed tired, sleeping so deeply, with a happy and contented smile on her lips, which was not often seen at the "Vault" base. She is like a canary in a cage, no matter how rich she is, it is difficult to obtain true happiness, and only the free world outside is what she wants.

The weather in late autumn was not too cold, and it was comfortable to sleep quietly, but Andriy brought such exciting good news before going to bed, and Lynn tossed and turned for a long time before barely falling asleep, and opened her eyes just after dawn. While Dinah was still asleep, he crept up again, washed up and went downstairs, and found that Andri had risen earlier than himself.

"I didn't sleep all night last night!" Lynn teased.

"How is that possible?" Andriy dismisses this kind of ridicule, but he explains with some burden: "Like ordinary soldiers, I get up at 6 o'clock every day to exercise, and this habit is not easily changed anywhere. ”

Asked the intelligence officer in charge of arranging the diet and living to get herself a cup of freshly brewed coffee, Lynn walked to the door and stretched out her limbs facing the courtyard, where the air and scenery were good, but unfortunately she couldn't go out for a long run like a soldier - and you had to avoid unsolicited activities as much as possible in your quarters.

"After yesterday's conversation, I thought about it again." "The war has just ended, and many established military companies are facing the dilemma of sharply reducing orders, either reducing production capacity, laying off personnel, or trying to transform," Lynn said. Since this is the case with Erikon, a similar situation should exist for such a well-known manufacturer of anti-aircraft artillery as the Swedish company Forbos! ”

Andriy agrees: "Unless there are still regions where there is still large-scale warfare, the rest of the world's military industry should be in a similar situation." ”

Lynn summed it up in a nutshell: "This is a time when cash and hard currency are king, and we have to seize these fleeting opportunities!" ”

"Agreed!" Andriy replied succinctly, but without advice.

Fortunately, as an orthodox soldier, although only a civilian, Courtland did not sleep lazy, and just as Lynn began to drink coffee and enjoy a Swiss specialty, a chocolate meal, the chief economic and financial staff officer of the Imperial base camp came downstairs, saw Andri, and asked, "Came back late yesterday?" ”

"It's half past ten!" "There's no curfew here, so stay a little later at a friend's." ”

"Ahh I didn't go to bed until 11 o'clock! Courtland replied without thinking.

Lynn and Andriy looked at each other, both snickering maliciously.

"Hey, Your Excellency our Chief Financial Officer, I would like to ask you a question!"

As Lynn spoke, she motioned for the other party to sit down at the table, and then asked, "What do you think is the market value of a well-known company like Erlikon in Switzerland?" ”

When he woke up early in the morning, Cortland was unprepared for such a question, rubbing his temples for two or three minutes before he said: "Its assets themselves may only be two or three million pounds, and what is really valuable is its technology, that is, the patent rights." Price...... My personal estimate is around £8 million. ”

"So little?" Lynn was somewhat surprised by the answer of the chief staff officer of the economy and finance.

Courtland dipped his finger in water and wrote and drew on the table: "I take the value of the German [***] fire company as a reference, and the scale of the Erlikon company is still inferior to our Mauser company!" Eight million pounds may also be an overestimate of it! ”

"Wouldn't our funds be able to buy four Erikon?" Lynn asked.

"Well, well, market capitalization is one thing, and the purchase price is another. If the shareholders of the company are not willing to sell, then no matter how much money there is, it will be in vain! After saying this, Cortland finally realized that there was something unusual about the question, and asked, "You ask this, is it ......?"

"We have received news that the Erikon Company is interested in lending money to the bank or seeking cooperation from outside investors, and the Colonel and I discussed this issue in serious detail last night, when you ...... Let's think about the economics of going to bed! Lynn laughed.
