World War I, World War II, World War III, since the beginning of the 20th century, the increasingly fierce human wars have poisoned thousands of lives. As the birthplace of industrial power, Europe has become the source and main battlefield in these three large-scale wars, plus various forms of conflicts, crises and civil wars It is not an exaggeration to describe the turmoil in Europe for more than 40 years. Even Switzerland, which is in a position of permanent neutrality, has never really stayed out of these major historical events, and the powerful countries and neighboring countries have repeatedly fought the idea of this small Central European country out of their own positions and ideas, military deterrence, economic coercion and even intelligence warfare in the shadows, and there are indescribable undercurrents hidden under the calm surface of Switzerland.

On a star-studded autumn night, two personable middle-aged men met in a high-end hotel on the shores of Lake Zurich. To outsiders, they were two well-dressed gentlemen, who came in a brand-name car, well-behaved, humble, and courteous, carrying useless canes, smoking fine cigarettes, lighting delicious food, and tipping their waiters, so that no one would have thought of offending them, even if they spoke with their own accents. After asking about the requirements, the waiter exited the private room and waited outside the door to serve at any time.

After clinking glasses, the two of them took a sip of the rich and mellow red wine in the glass, and the gentleman with high hair and high nose sitting on the right took out a dossier bag from the briefcase he carried with him, and showed the other party some of the photos inside: "The factory is located on the eastern side of the Ural Mountains, and the specific location is marked by latitude and longitude, and it can be seen that it is in operation. It is equipped with a full set of equipment shipped from Germany, specializing in the production of MP44 automatic rifles, with a daily production of between 250 and 500 units, but we have never seen soldiers equipped with such typical German weapons in any Soviet army, nor have we heard of them being exported to other countries. ”

Sitting on the left was a gentleman with curly brown hair and a mustache, who was interested in seeing the contents of the photograph, but the skillful hand movements of the other party made it possible to see only a rough picture in this situation.

"This is another factory 50 kilometers away, which has only recently been installed in anti-aircraft camouflage, and more than 800 workers work in two shifts of mechanical maintenance day and night, producing two specifications of 7.92 mm ammunition, one for long rifle cartridges for German-made rifles and machine guns, and the other for short rifle cartridges for automatic rifles, which is the finished product we have obtained."

The blonde said as he poured out two golden pointed bullets from the file bag, they had the same diameter but different lengths, and the light light on the appearance of the normal storage ammunition could not be seen under the light, and the whole was extremely bright and clean, indeed like a precision industrial product that had just been manufactured from the assembly line.

"There is also a factory in this area, and we took pictures from a distance, but the Soviet cordons are so tightly constructed that there is no way to get close. We observed that an average of 12 wagons of goods were shipped out of here each month, and in the case of German-made machine guns with matching gun mounts, it was estimated that the monthly production would be more than 6,000 units. ”

After listening to this, and also looking at some of the photos shown by the other party, the upper lip beard said unhurriedly: "With your ability, you have not been able to find clues about the secret units of the Soviet army?" ”

Blonde didn't answer the question, but stuffed the photos back into the file bag, sealed them with strings, and patted them with his palm: "There are 87 photos here, which generally reflect the current situation in the Ural industrial area, enough for the US military to reassess the effects of the bombing, and what I just said is only an 'interesting' situation found during the exploration activities, and I will give them away free of charge." ”

Feeling bored, the upper lip beard pulled out a medium-sized envelope from his pocket, pressed it on the table and pushed it towards the other party, and the blonde pushed the file bag steadily at the same time, and the spot transaction was successfully completed. One party reopened the file bag to inspect the photographs, and the other took out a bank check from the envelope and examined it. At the end, the blonde stuffed the check and envelope into the inner pocket of the suit and raised the wine glass: "Happy cooperation"...,

The upper lip Hu also put away the photo, raised the wine glass and said: "Mr. Herman, you and your companions can always bring us some surprises, and this ability to obtain confidential information makes you admire it very much, but ...... With all due respect, the world is changing rapidly, and it is not safe to simply hold a passport from a European country, but if you wish, we can help you create a legal American identity and absolutely protect your lives and property. ”

The blonde gracefully took a sip of red wine and responded with a decent smile: "Thank you for your kindness, it's just that my comrades and I never thought of leaving Europe, but anyway, I am very grateful for the exemption and such financial assistance. ”

Although the upper lip beard did not show his displeasure obviously, he then smiled and said: "This money is nothing, a photo can be sold to many parties after being developed, can it?" ”

"You don't think the Soviets would be interested in these pictures as well," the blonde still smiled decently, "and your British and French allies may be interesting, but they are definitely not as generous as the American government." ”

The old spicy spy would not be choked by such words, and when he saw that the other party wiped his lips and was about to leave, his upper lip Hu said, "Don't eat some and leave?" This is the freshest salmon of the year."

Kim dropped his napkin and moved back his chair: "If you want to eat salmon, the Barents Sea will be fresher and more delicious, there is news that the Soviet army is building a rocket launch base near Murmansk, that is, the kind that can fly from the Netherlands to the United Kingdom, after improvement, the range should be longer, maybe it will fall to Scotland one day?" ”

This topic obviously aroused the interest of Hu Xin, who stared at the other party and asked, "How long will it take?" ”

"If you hadn't been caught by the Soviets, it would be this day next month," Kim said, "I haven't eaten pork knuckle in German sauce next time, and I suddenly miss it." ”

"A gentleman like you sits in such a restaurant and nibbles on pork knuckle with sauce?" The upper lip beard seemed to have seen the unsightly scene, and shook his head with a sigh.

"What's the point of closing the door?" Blonde smiled pleasantly, "In return, we will try to find out about the secret units of the Soviet army, they are really mysterious, except for the top of the Soviet army, there are probably not many people who know about them, and no one can describe whether they are Soviets or hired foreigners, anything is possible, right?"

Watching the blonde open the door and go out, he lowered his upper lip and lowered his right hand, closing the loaded miniature pistol in his trouser pocket, and by the time his other colleague entered, he was already buried in the food on the table at just the right temperature.

"How's it going?" The person who came in later also had good-looking blonde hair, but he couldn't see the gentlemanly temperament of the person in front of him at all, with broad shoulders and thick arms, at first glance, he belonged to the type of bodyguard for the rich, but there was also a person with this appearance who could mix up achievements in official institutions, he was almost the same age as the upper lip beard, but he was the other party's superior and operational commander.

"The information is here," the hand holding the knife on his upper lip directly pushed the file bag in front of the chief, "If you think it's not worth it, it's still too late to notify the receiving team to intercept it." ”

"Your vision is my judgment." The "blonde bodyguard" who spoke fluent American said so, but he opened the file bag with both hands very neatly and looked at it, nodded a little reluctantly and said: "These Germans really don't blow the battlefield reconnaissance technology, we ...... back then."

"We suffered a lot in France and Holland, these natural cold-blooded war machines," murmured softly from his upper lip, uttering the words of his superiors verbatim and at the same time. …,

"If the Soviet army really had such a special unit equipped with a full set of German ordnance, then the Los Amos disaster must have been done by them," the "blonde bodyguard" said after looking at the first few photos of the photo.

A sip of herring, a sip of red wine, a mustache on his upper lip happily enjoying the food on the table, and not participating in the speculation of his boss, and the "blonde bodyguard" roughly swept the back photos, muttering: "500,000 US dollars is nothing more than that, and I always feel that the Germans are also very suspicious of whether Hitler died or not, the huge explosion in the Norwegian Sea, the real atomic bomb explosions from time to time, and the cause of Stalin's death, these are all puzzling mysteries."

"You don't want to eat? The guy took two sips of wine and didn't move at all. The upper lip Hu asked with his mouth free.

Seemingly dissatisfied with the indifferent attitude of his subordinates, the "blonde bodyguard" glanced at the colorful food on the plate and snorted coldly: "I don't eat the things in the dog bowl." ”

On such a beautiful moonlit night, far away in Tromsø, a year-round ice-free port in northern Norway, the ancient port city is peaceful. Dozens of kilometers away, there was a British radar base station and orthodox British soldiers stationed, and the generals and intelligence officers of the allied countries probably would never have imagined that the Norwegian flag was fluttering on wooden poles, but the streets were walking with heavily armed German soldiers -- the summer painted M42 seemed to be the standard equipment of the German Army's combat units in the late World War II, and the "pea" camouflage uniforms made by German female workers were of any better quality than the same type of clothing in the later stages of the war. The Mauser 98k rifle was completely outdated on the battlefield, but the soldiers had learned how to operate the MP44 assault rifle in training, while the Spanish military factory was producing the complex, expensive but powerful automatic weapon at a rate of 200 per month.

On the castle terrace overlooking the harbor, Lynn smoked a cigarette calmly. On such a moonlit night, the cold north wind blows ripples on the sea, and from here you can see a strange "big black fish" in the harbor showing its angular back on the water, quietly sailing towards the pier at a gentle speed, which means that another group of soldiers and civilians transferred from the "refuge" base is about to arrive in this "northern Germania" - its quaintness and roughness do not match people's grand imagination of Nirmania, and the two do not even have much in common. But the barrenness and vastness of Tromsø provided valuable surface space for the remnants of the Third Reich to shelter and rejuvenate today. Although the Soviet Union, the United States, the British allies, and the Norwegian government were still constrained by the Soviet Union, the United States, the British allies, and the Norwegian government could not completely let go of their hands, but the new factory complex far exceeded the limited warehouse at the site in terms of size, output, and room for further development.

Colonel Steplenfen, three steps away from Lynn, was also smoking, but the commander of the occupation forces in Tromsø took advantage of the night to wear a full and shiny uniform, his hair was combed into a fashionable back, his leather shoes were shiny, the neckline was the Knight Iron Cross awarded by the Führer, the neckline was his gold German Medal, and the belt was fastened with a holster, and his beloved Luger pistol was inside, all of which made Lynn feel like a ghost who could crawl out of the grave at night and wander, which made people feel funny and helpless. For a long time, Lynn's feelings for the German military uniform have been constantly changing, the initial novelty, the pride and pride after the war, the contradictions after the war, the perception and the heroism that has been given a new meaning, he gradually no longer uses the form as a proof, even if he is only wearing civilian clothes, he can use the soldier's resolute character and iron-blooded spirit to support the backbone that cannot be broken and crushed.

"Are you ready to accept the assignment?" After a cigarette, Steplenfen broke the silence. …,

"There is a saying in the East: people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes." Lynn struggled to express the meaning of "rivers and lakes" in German, in order to vaguely show her helplessness. Earlier in the day, Rommel personally called and conveyed to Lynn the decision of the highest decision-making meeting at the base camp: considering the large number of factories currently being built and the number of factories to be built in the future, organizing production would be a huge and complex task, and it would require a sufficiently professional and dedicated person to coordinate it. Speer is the best candidate. In view of this, the Reich was to concentrate intelligence and special operations forces to carry out rescue operations to free Speer from the detention centers of the American and British forces - and other German internees in the same target site should also do their best to free them (Hess, Goering, Keitel, and others were still in detention at this time, and the Nuremberg Trials, which began at the end of 1945, were interrupted and delayed by the war between the Eastern and Western camps).

"You are the pioneer of the Tromsø realm, and a tolerant, wise, and friendly governor." Stephenfen wanted to praise Lynn for her actions, but it didn't sound like praise for a governor, and Lynn knew what she knew about her industrial organization.

A governor who accompanies his wife-to-be more than he makes rounds of factories and discusses military strategy with his colleagues rather than industrial projects is probably not a good governor.

Ever since the completion of the field telephone line between the "Vault" base and the port of Tromsø, the base camp has begun to frequently ask all sorts of trivial questions, which have long since exhausted Lynn. Despite Rommel's incidental statement that Governor Tromsø would remain a historic honorary title in perpetuity, Lynn felt no sense of the consolation prize, and he bluntly asked Rommel if the commander-in-chief of the operation had been decided, and the Imperial War God replied not surprisingly - just as Speer's ability in armaments production was evident, Lynn, who played a major role in the attack on Los Amos and the assassination of Stalin, was the obvious choice for such a risky operation.

With full control over people, money, and materials, the Führer's conditions were quite generous, and even through Rommel, he conveyed a hint that he would receive the official rank of general after success, but Lynn did not feel as excited as before. His first instinct was to think of Dinah and the fetus in his womb, the victory of Las Amos was a surprise and good luck, the assassination of Stalin was due to a clever design and still indispensable luck, but during this period, the Reich's special operations were still completely destroyed by the destruction of the Potsdam Allied summit, and returning to Germany would not be as convenient as a football match to fight at home, and once on the mainland, familiar faces were likely to lead to the exposure of identities and targets.

Out of his own concerns, Lynn did not immediately take over the task on the phone, but prepared to return to the base camp to see the relevant intelligence and preliminary combat plan and discuss the details, Rommel agreed, and the submarine that had just arrived in the port of Tromsø was sent to take Lynn back to the base camp.

In the power structure of the Third Reich, the Minister of Armaments is very close to decision-making power, if not a central figure, but given Speer's refusal to carry out the Führer's scorched earth policy at the end of the war, it is unlikely that he will be sentenced to capital punishment, not to mention that it is still unknown how long the trial will drag on, rescuing Speer is not a desperate task, and his own submarine that has sailed more than 100 nautical miles here also needs to recharge its batteries and properly rest its personnel, he is not in a hurry to go to the dock at this time, but he did not stay by Dinah's side, Instead, he chose to smoke on this large spacious terrace, and then met Steplenfin, a "smoker".

Seeing Lynn's uncharacteristically taciturn, Stephen couldn't guess what his concerns were, but he was still relieved with a straight heart: "Actually...... Honestly, I don't think you're here to continue your great legacy, sir, Sir...... The battlefield is the stage that belongs to you, the stage where you can display your talents."

There was another cigarette butt on the ground, and Lynn turned to the colonel and asked, "Can I trust you?" ”。

Steplenfinn naturally called it yes.

"During my absence, help me take care of Dinah, arrange the production in advance, and calculate that there will be four weeks to ......" Lynn's words completely revealed the knot in his heart, and Stephenfen suddenly realized that he had always been too superficial and impatient in matters other than the military, but he was not the kind of person who was reckless and ignorant, and his distinctive characteristics showed his focus and persistence.

"No hesitation," Steplenfen said firmly......
