482 June 6th of the Butterfly 3
On June 6, 1944, many things happened around the world. If Li Guang can compare the history of another time and space, he will find that there are three things outside the main battlefield that have far-reaching impact.
The first incident occurred in Norway, where a German heavy water transport ship for the nuclear industry made its way to Germany unharmed.
Historically, due to the huge amount of electricity required to produce heavy water, and Norway has developed hydropower, Germany has set up a heavy water production plant in Norway. Later, while transporting heavy water, the ship was blown up and sunk by the Norwegian resistance.
However, in this time and space. Due to the change in the situation of the German army in the northern part of the Soviet Union, the German army completely occupied St. Petersburg, then called Leningrad, an important town in the northern part of the Soviet Union. So much so that the entire Baltic Sea became an inland lake for Germany.
In this situation, transport and traffic became more convenient, and German control over the three Nordic countries of Norway, Sweden, and Finland was strengthened. As a result, the Norwegian resistance was extremely weak and unable to complete the task of blowing up and sinking the heavy water ships.
Another thing, also related to the atomic bomb. On this day, Hitler received not only news of the Allied landings in Normandy, but also a piece of information about the Manhattan Project, which was the development of the atomic bomb by the United States.
Li Guang wanted to say that he didn't care about it. On the surface, it is true that he doesn't care about Haitang's affairs, but the cause has a lot to do with Li Guang.
At the beginning, the German female spy Rajili seduced the boyfriend of Lin Lili, the chief of staff of the intelligence of the Haitang Army, because she was "unadaptable", but the result was leaked. However, Li Guang couldn't do that kind of spicy thing to destroy flowers, so he made use of the waste. Asked Rajiri to make a movie. sent this bewitching female spy to the United States again. The meaning is simple: scourge America goes.
People can make a difference in the right environment. This glamorous female spy is really not very mixed in Haitang due to the difference between Eastern and Western customs, but it is very popular in the United States. In the United States. Rajli didn't have any contacts at all, so she didn't care what the task was. She lived in flowers and applause all day long, and mingled with all kinds of men, as if she had forgotten her original identity.
But spies are spies after all, and German training was not in vain. Rajli still remembers her mission. Rajili originally planned to steal the technical secrets of Haitang's napalm manufacturing, but was thrown to the United States by Li Guang at once. As a result, she had to reopen in the United States.
She exerts the energy of a competent spy. With the help of her popularity, coupled with her Jewish identity, she approached many scientists.
Rajli's work has been fruitful. Even more than anyone expected. She didn't learn much about napalm, but she stumbled upon a number of scientists who were working on atomic bombs. Rajli is a Jew and a Pole, and there are many Jewish and Polish scientists in the Manhattan Project in the United States. As an actress, Rajli often attended Jewish organizations and conferences. He also corresponded with anti-fascist groups of Polish descent.
The American system. It has always been free in scientific and technological research and development. Moreover, the number of scientific and technological personnel required for such a major project is extremely large, and it is impossible for US intelligence agencies to identify all the participants one by one, nor can they all monitor these scientists. Of course, scientists, although conscious, are also very opposed to restricting freedom, which is why the United States cannot adopt absolute secrecy.
As a result, the development of the atomic bomb was classified at a high level, but the actual secrecy was not tight, and even many scientists who were not involved in the Manhattan Project knew about it.
Rajli relies on her keen sense of a professional spy. Realizing that this so-called Manhattan Project was more valuable than the technical secrets of napalm. After more than a year of spying. She got a lot of information about the Manhattan Project, and she even figured out where one or two factories in the United States were developing atomic bombs.
Suffering from the lack of contacts, Ragili went through several setbacks, and it was not until June 6 that the German intelligence services actually received this information, so this information reached Hitler's desk. In this information, Rajli demonstrated her extraordinary analytical skills, and even came to a conclusion from the limited intelligence that the United States was likely to succeed in developing the atomic bomb in the middle of four or five years.
After the war, Rajli was killed in an "accident" during a film shoot, and the jade died. This German female spy, who can be called the most successful German spy in World War II, has drawn an end to her young life, leaving behind a sigh of countless mysteries.
Ordinary people did not know about the atomic bomb, but Hitler knew it very well. Under Hitler's personal assignment, the German special forces carried out several operations on the US nuclear plant, but none of them achieved decisive results, and only slightly delayed the development of the US atomic bomb.
The United States, on the other hand, smelled a possibility from several German actions: the German Nazis were also developing an atomic bomb. Therefore, in order to prevent Germany's nuclear bomb development, the Allies made many strategic adjustments that were different from history, among which the strengthening of air strikes against Germany was the most obvious.
However, Hitler's Germany therefore increased its investment in the research and development of the atomic bomb, which was not what Li Guang hoped to see.
On this very special day, another thing happened, but the real benefits fell on the head of Haitang Kingdom.
During World War II, Germany and Japan were both Axis powers, but they did not cooperate much. However, as the Japanese army was losing ground in the Pacific, the Japanese side urgently needed German weapons and technology in a vain attempt to redeem its defeat. Of course, Germany did not want nothing from Japan, and the two sides took what they needed and carried out some cooperation.
However, the two countries are separated by oceans, and if they want to travel back and forth, there is no other suitable means of transportation except submarines. Although Germany can cross the Arctic Ocean route, it only has one chance a year, and it cannot meet the needs at all. Therefore, the traditional route, from the Atlantic Ocean around the Cape of Good Hope in Africa, into the Indian Ocean, and back to the Pacific Ocean has become a must. And Haitang is now pinched in the middle of this route.
On March 16, 1944, German U-181 and U-195 submarines left Bordeaux, France.
The U-181 submarine was carrying supplies destined for Japan, among which were drawings and models of mercury, graphite, steel, uncut optical glass, aluminum, and their German armament.
The submarine U-195 of the Type IXD, converted from a minelaying submarine of the XB type, carried 12 V-2 rockets delivered to Japan. In addition to this, the submarine also carried the Luftwaffe liaison officer Ulrike Leek who was heading to Japan. General Kiesler, scientist Heinz. Dr. Schlick, 1 V-2 rocket specialist, and 2 Japanese technical officers, among others.
What's more, the submarine also had about 550 kg of uranium oxide and 2 Me-262 jet fighters (loose pieces) on board.
As soon as the two submarines went to sea, they were learned by British intelligence, but because these two submarines had snorkel devices and the crew was considered a veteran of a hundred battles, they actually broke through the layers of interception, successfully bypassed the Cape of Good Hope, and entered the Indian Ocean.
The German Navy has not entered the Indian Ocean for almost a year and does not understand the anti-submarine deployment of the Haitang Army in the Indian Ocean at all. German submarines, as usual, cautiously dived during the day to avoid aircraft or ship searches, and only surfaced at night. In the eyes of the Germans, this was already very careful, but in the Mozambique Channel this trick completely failed. You must know that Haitang has deployed 30 patrol boats and hundreds of wireless sonar buoys in the 500 or 600-kilometer-wide Mozambique Channel. Coupled with the reminder of the British side, it has long been prepared.
Therefore, as soon as the German submarine entered the Mozambique Channel, it was discovered by the Haitang Army. At noon on 6 June, two German submarines were surrounded by 20 ships of the Haitang Army, and then they were bombed indiscriminately. Coupled with the fact that the Tang Army had a unique psychological tactic, Morse code spread everywhere: "Remember the good wine and food in Uruguay? ”
This Morse code was widely spread among German submariners, and the Haedang did not have a head-on conflict with Germany in several years of war. Therefore, this small means still has some effect. Among the officers and men of the German submarines, there is a rumor that if they take the initiative to surrender to the Haitang Army, not only will they not be abused, but they will also have great benefits, wine and food are trivial matters, and there are even Uruguayan mansions waiting for them to enjoy.
This point is not groundless, and the Haitang Army did privately publicize it to some German submarine officers and men.
The matter was resolved quite smoothly, and it was still early in the afternoon, and two German submarines surfaced and surrendered.
Haitang got a big bargain, and several of the technologies that Li Guang longed for, especially jet aircraft engines and rocket technology, were easily available. More than 500 kilograms of uranium oxide, although only one or two kilograms of radioactive uranium-238 can be extracted, is also worth cheering. As a result, Li Guang also made a preliminary assessment of Germany's atomic bomb research and development.
For these German prisoners, the Haitang Army did not lose its promise. The technicians, including two Japanese technicians, gave some "advice" and all of them stayed on with high salaries. The soldiers, on the other hand, were all sent to Uruguay, where they each got a house and a good job.
Doing so may seem like a lot of effort, but once the word-of-mouth effect ferments, the benefits in the future will be too great. Not to mention the materials carried on the submarine, even the value of the submarine itself far exceeds the price of dozens of residences. Li Guang instructed: Good traditions should continue to be carried forward.
Li Guang got up early in the morning and rushed to a late meeting. On June 6, he received a lot of news, but not a single one about the Normandy landings. It was not until he was ready to go to bed that he received news from Haitang's diplomatic attache in Britain that the Allies had successfully landed in Normandy after fierce fighting.
