"What? Did the Germans start a nuclear weapons program? ”

In the imperial room, when the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, Wang Chenhao, learned of this, he was immediately shocked. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.infoβ•”β•—//There had never been such a level of nervousness on Wang Chenhao's face, which made the next crown prince Guoqing, as well as the two top officials of the Homeland Security Agency and the CIA, Chen Thanksgiving and Huang Muen, realize that something was wrong.

Although Chen Thanksgiving and Huang Muen were also born in the Imperial Guards, they were different from the senior officials of the Intelligence Bureau who were all veterans of the guards from the era of Wang Chenhao's official residence, and the members of the guards who followed and protected Wang Chenhao back then have now become high-ranking officials of the Five Realms of Imperial Political and Legal Counseling, and the two of them are the eldest son of Chen Jingguo and the eldest grandson of Huang Kejiang, it can be seen from the names of the two of them that their elders are grateful for Wang Chenhao's promotion and reuse. And directly renaming their children Thanksgiving and Mu'en, in order to send them to Wang Chenhao's side to do things, shows their determination to treat the entire family as royal retainers forever and be loyal to the royal family for generations.

This is what Wang Chenhao is most happy about, because he is no longer alone a few decades ago, but has formed an alliance with thousands of families with common interests. This huge alliance will ensure the stability of the imperial power of his descendants after the era of Wang Chenhao has passed.

Wang Chenhao made great use of the sons and daughters of these founding heroes to show his imperial grace. Chen Thanksgiving and Huang Muen were able to sit in the leadership positions of the two largest intelligence agencies of the Chinese Empire at a young age. In addition to the excellent personal abilities of the two of them, it is also because they have grown up with the crown prince Guoqing since childhood, and they are like brothers, Wang Chenhao hopes that through the careful training of the two of them, he can assist the crown prince to take over the throne and military power smoothly in the future. At the same time, as the crown prince's peers, he accompanies the new emperor to old age, reducing the instability caused by the alternation of intermediate powers. β•”β•—

Seeing Wang Chenhao's worried face, Chen Thanksgiving and Huang Muen looked at the crown prince's National Day, and the latter asked: "Father, the Germans should not be able to develop nuclear weapons or nuclear reactors in a short period of time, after all, the empire has not yet completed the manufacture of nuclear weapons, and nuclear reactors have achieved today's achievements after more than 20 years of hard work." ”

Wang Chenhao looked at Guoqing, since five years ago, the crown prince Guoqing completed a doctorate in management and completed three years of training in the army. Wang Chenhao kept him by his side and allowed him to observe national affairs and learn from his experience.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the prince's inference is completely credible. But for Wang Chenhao, he is too aware of Nazi Germany's technological explosive ability. Historically, Nazi Germany began developing the atomic bomb in 1938 and had already conducted three nuclear tests in 1944. Then the outcome of World War II was changed. Now, the deliberate support and connivance of Hitler in the early days of the Chinese Empire led to Hitler and Nazi Germany becoming even more powerful in history. Now that he heard that Hitler had set up a nuclear weapons research department, it is no wonder that Wang Chenhao is not worried.

Of course, these things are only clear to Wang Chenhao himself.

"You're ignoring a key factor!" Wang Chenhao thought for a moment. said: "That is, when the empire developed its nuclear forces, there was no basic information to refer to, and it took more than 20 years. But now the Reich has completed the theoretical and technical practice of nuclear reactors. The nuclear weapons project has also entered a critical moment, and a considerable part of these theories will flow to the international community through various channels. will be exploited by the Germans. In this way, the Germans will have to go a lot less with our ready-made basic theories and technologies, and it will not take so long to develop nuclear weapons or nuclear reactors. ”

Wang Guoqing nodded suddenly and said, "Erchen understands!" Looking at the current posture of the Germans, I am really worried! ”

Wang Chenhao sighed and said: "Nuclear forces cannot always be mastered and monopolized by us, and other countries will develop them sooner or later." β•”β•—//.// What we need to do now is to delay the progress of other countries in the direction of nuclear weapons as much as possible, and accelerate the construction of our own nuclear weapons forces to maintain the world hegemony of the Empire. ”

Wang Guoqing then said: "Leave this matter to Erchen!" ”

Looking at Wang Guoqing's firm and confident appearance, Wang Chenhao showed a fatherly loving smile and nodded: "It's good to have some experience!" This will give you more experience in dealing with international events! Thanksgiving and Mu En want to be good to help the prince! ”

Chen Thanksgiving and Huang Muen immediately bowed down and shouted in unison: "Weichen obeys the order!" Your Majesty, but rest assured! The ministers will do their best to assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in completing the task! ”

Wang Chenhao nodded with satisfaction and said, "I have improved a lot of chess skills recently, so I asked Chen Jingguo and Huang Kejiang to come and play two games with me!" ”

"Yes!" Chen Thanksgiving and Huang Muen hurriedly received the order, but they shook their heads and smiled bitterly.

Wang Chenhao keenly captured the expressions of the two of them, and said with a smile: "What kind of expression do you have?" I'm sure I'll win them this time! ”

"The ministers are afraid, so go and summon them!" Chen Thanksgiving and Huang Muen held back their smiles and hurriedly retired. The crown prince and the king also left together on National Day.

Looking at their backs, Wang Chenhao suddenly laughed and scolded: "The little rabbit cubs are so unconfident in my chess skills!" Really! ”

In the East Palace Prince's Mansion, Wang Guoqing discussed countermeasures with Chen Thanksgiving and Huang Muen. β•”β•—

"Your Highness!" "Intelligence suggests that the Third Reich is on the verge of moving lately, and Hitler is preparing to draw Europe into the flames of war," Huang said. And the research of nuclear weapons seems to be on the agenda, and a few months ago, the German team began a top-secret nuclear weapons research program. For the first time, experiments in Berlin have shown that atoms can be split, releasing enormous amounts of energy. German scientists were the best technical team in the world outside of the Reich, and they were actually working faster on the atomic bomb than we thought! ”

Wang Guoqing frowned and said, "What do you mean by this?" Will they be able to develop nuclear weapons in a few years? ”

Huang Muen said: "I'm not sure about this!" But it is certain that the Empire will complete all nuclear weapons tests within a year, and we have confirmed that. As for whether there is a risk of our technology being leaked to the outside world. We have also assessed that we are conducting 24-hour surveillance of foreign nuclear physicists, such as Mrs. Rie. But recently, there has been information from Norway in Europe that Norway's Vimolk hydropower station was completed and put into operation last year, and the Norwegian power company responsible for operating the hydropower station uses cheap hydropower plants to secretly produce heavy water. And get it on the market for sale. The Germans, on the other hand, seem to have discovered that heavy water could be used as a coolant for nuclear reactors, and are conducting research on it and preparing a large-scale deal with Norwegian power companies. ”

Chen Thanksgiving added at this time: "The coolant of our heavy water reactor is heavy water, and if the Germans are allowed to study the true value and use of heavy water, I am afraid it will be very detrimental to the Empire." ”

Wang Guoqing thought for a moment and asked, "Usually when you encounter this situation, what do you do?" ”

Chen Thanksgiving and Huang Muen looked at each other and smiled, and the latter said, "What else can I do?" Chilled salad! ”

Huang Muen raised his right hand and slashed down with one palm. That meaning is already very obvious. β•”β•—The executors of the Intelligence Agency usually resort to extreme measures to stifle possible threats at any cost.

Wang Guoqing nodded and said: "The Germans must not be allowed to obtain the technology for industrial production of heavy water, and they must be stopped before they can trade." ”

Huang Muen suddenly stood up and said, "Leave this matter to me, Your Highness!" ”

Wang Guoqing nodded. So the CIA, the largest and most powerful intelligence agency in the world, took action, and they would fight a bloody war against the "OKW" intelligence service set up by Hitler's right-hand man Canaris.

In order to be able to build a nuclear bomb and a nuclear reactor, Heisenberg, the German chief commander of nuclear physical engineering, understood the importance of this hydropower station when he learned that the Norwegian Vimolk hydropower station had a large amount of heavy water resources, so he immediately sent someone to negotiate with the Norwegian power company to import heavy water in large quantities and introduce industrial technology for the production of heavy water.

However. The Chinese Empire pressured the Norwegian government to prohibit Norway from selling heavy water to the Germans, and even more so from transferring technology to the Germans. Although the Norwegian government did not know why the Chinese Empire did this, small Norway naturally could not compete with the Chinese Empire. As a result, the Norwegian government pressured Norwegian Power to ban the export of heavy water and related technology to Germany. Equally. The Norwegian Power Company also did not want to hand over this lucrative business to the Germans, taking advantage of the Chinese Empire to also buy heavy water. As a result, prices were raised dramatically, while technology was refused.

Although the German government gave Heisenberg a large amount of R&D funds, there was also a budget ceiling, and Heisenberg, who could not bear the price of heavy water, was very annoyed in the face of the intervention of the Chinese Empire and the Norwegians.

So Heisenberg came to the secret if he couldn't do it, and asked the OKW secret service in Canaris to come forward to help, preparing to steal the relevant technology.

But before acquiring the technology, Heisenberg decided to pay a high price for heavy water, after all, Hitler gave him limited time, and he needed to complete nuclear weapons research and nuclear reactor technology as soon as possible. Therefore, Heisenberg spent a huge amount of money to buy five barrels of 400 kilograms of heavy water from the Norwegian Electric Company, totaling 6.2 billion marks, accounting for 70% of Heisenberg's research and development funds that year.

This matter was secretly traded by the Norwegian Electric Power Company with the Germans behind the back of the Chinese Empire, but it could not escape the eyes of the CIA of the Chinese Empire. Soon Huang ordered the executors of the Nordic office to take action to sabotage their huge deal at any cost.

At first, agents of the Chinese Empire secretly infiltrated Norway for the Morco hydroelectric power station and blew it up. However, within three months, the Norwegian power company was back up and running, and the guards were strengthened, making it difficult for agents of the Chinese Empire to infiltrate and wreak havoc. At the same time, German OKW agents also lurked in the vicinity and engaged in a fierce secret war with CIA agents of the Chinese Empire.

In just a few months, the two sides lost hundreds of agents, but the governments of both countries attached great importance to it and continued to invest a large number of agents and spies at all costs, and the two sides launched a desperate struggle. Then, the Imperial Chinese Air Base in Ireland planned to send long-range bombers to bomb the Vimolk hydroelectric power station, but it was abandoned due to opposition from the CIA. The reason is that it is not yet time to tear the skin with Germany.

By 1936, the CIA's Nordic division had learned that 15 tons of partially purified heavy water had been secretly produced by the Norwegian Electric Power Company and would be secretly shipped to Germany. They immediately informed Beijing of this information and waited for Huang Muen's next action instructions. Huang Muen quickly replied: "Do whatever it takes to prevent heavy water from reaching Germany." ”

But how can it be stopped? Pressed for time. Kang Youcai, the director of the CIA's Nordic division, and his team had only a few days to plan. The factory is heavily guarded, but on the way to Berlin, the water is packed in barrels, sent by train out of the Yukan Valley, and then crossed Lake Tien on the Hydrero ferry.

Kang Youcai was well aware that the sinking of the Hydro would almost certainly result in casualties among innocent civilians, including Chinese doing business or tourism in Norway. What's more, once the matter comes to light. The impact on the international image of the Chinese Empire will be enormous.

Kang Youcai was a little worried, but the more difficult the task, the more excited he became. In order to be foolproof, Kang Youcai decided to secretly buy the local forces in Norway and use them to do things for himself. In this way, even if something happens, it will not be possible to find out that only the Chinese Empire has done it.

The operation was undoubtedly successful, and the heavy water, which the Germans had bought at the cost of billions of marks, sank with the steamer to the bottom of the lake. There were simply no Chinese on it, and the dead were all local Norwegians. The Norwegian and German governments were unable to complain about the atrocities of the Chinese Empire because there was no evidence pointing to the Chinese Empire, so the matter was eventually dealt with as the work of the Norwegian armed forces.

Until decades later. When Zhang Guox, a famous spy war film director of the Chinese Empire, filmed the Sino-German spy war blockbuster before World War II, he obtained the first-hand information of that year from the declassified documents of the Chinese Imperial Archives, and filmed it into a classic blockbuster "Hydro", which runs through the game and dark war between the major powers. and added touching couple deeds, which won the first place at the Hollywood box office that year. And won several Academy Awards.

From the plot of later generations, people finally learned the truth of that year. The film vividly reproduces the action of Kang Youcai and his colleagues. They found out after studying the drawings of the Hydro. Its lower deck has an entrance to the bilge. They unscrewed the floor screws and planted the bomb at the bottom of the Hydrau. When his companions planted the bomb, Kang Youcai stood aside and let the wind go. Suddenly they were spotted by one of the guards.

Kang Youcai, who was in his late teens, recalled: "The guards asked us what we were doing. I told a lie while thinking in my head about whether I needed to kill him. But he was so frightened that he didn't seem to dare to offend the Chinese, so he said that he was willing to let us go as long as we didn't tell anyone. He left work at 6 o'clock the next morning, and the guard who took over him sank to the bottom of the lake with the boat. ”

That morning, a flatbed truck loaded with heavy buckets drove up the Hedreo. At the same time, the time bomb made by the resistance forces is still ticking. The Hydro was scheduled to leave the dock at 9:30 a.m., but did not leave the dock until 10 a.m. The Hydro's delay makes the late Havard? Askelt and his fiancΓ©e Savicki? Holgen caught the boat. Please refer to the Titanic and associate o(n_n)o

Havard, the surviving client, recalled: "To celebrate my birthday, we were late and ran all the way to catch the Hedrow. We sat in the ground floor hall with the gifts my parents gave me. Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the ship shook. We thought we had hit something. "The Hydro quickly filled with smoke and water. Haward faces a terrible choice: his fiancΓ©e can't swim. "I told her, you have to jump. She said, 'Okay, you jump first, and I'll follow you.'" I jumped out of the boat, but she stayed in the boat and sank with it. "Fourteen locals also drowned in the icy water.

Kang Youcai's plan succeeded. The Hydro and the cargo it was carrying sank in the planned place - the deepest part of the lake. The Germans tried to salvage them, but the Chinese snipers who were lying in ambush nearby often shot the salvage personnel and diving equipment.

However, what Kang Youcai never expected was that the Germans played tricks with him. The heavy water that sank in the lake was real, but it wasn't all, a bucket of water with a purity of up to 70% was transported back to Heisenberg's laboratory in Berlin, Germany, by plane. Heisenberg succeeded in using these heavy water researches, and he implemented heavy water reactor technology in his laboratory for cooling chain reactions in nuclear reactors.

Of course, this matter was also a mystery at the time. It wasn't until decades after the end of the Cold War that the Chinese Empire learned that some of the buckets of heavy water had indeed been shipped to Berlin.

So what's in the barrel on the Hydro? What did the heavy water produced by Vimolk really mean to the Germans? This became the last major mystery left before the outbreak of World War II, and there was only one way to uncover its secrets.

In order to investigate the truth, after the end of the Cold War, an expedition team led by Ma Zhiyuan, a post-80s marine archaeologist, decided to dive into Lake Tien and salvage several complete barrels, both heavy and ordinary. And the ordinary water is naturally the heavy water that was dropped and transported back to Germany by the German OKW agents.

Although the German OKW agents managed to deceive the intelligence agents of the Chinese Empire, Heisenberg received a small amount of heavy water, which was only enough for him to cool the nuclear reaction in the laboratory.
