Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2480 You are greedy for other people's interest, and others want your principal

In March of this year, General Groves, who was in charge of the "Manhattan Project", was ordered by Roosevelt to form a capable special team composed of military, intelligence and scientific experts to carry out missions in Europe, with the purpose of collecting scientific and technological information related to the development of the atomic bomb. Get it, and get the uranium raw materials and equipment, and all useful scientific and technological talents back to the United States.

Groves named the team after his surname "Halsus". The team has more than 100 members, including 33 scientists.

Colonel Boris Poss was the commander of the detachment, he arrived in Paris on the night of the entrance ceremony of Charles de Gaulle, the operation against Jean-Frédéric Joliot Curie, because the French Academy had the only roundabout in Europe The accelerator, which is an important instrument for the development of atomic bombs, was once used by German scientists for the research of atomic bombs.

Groves wanted to use Frederick to find out how far Germany had reached in the research of the atomic bomb. From the existing intelligence analysis, Germany's research on the atomic bomb was not much slower than that of the United States.

Boris Poss moved quickly enough and was only lucky enough to be run over by Lieutenant Colonel Ronald, after which both Boris Poss and Frederick were taken back to Patton's provisional headquarters.

"You shouldn't be like this, you will pay for your rude behavior." Boris Poss was very angry, and he was still talking harshly when he was escorted into the armored vehicle.

Ronald didn't speak harshly, he hadn't handed Hesling's personal letter to Frederick yet.

"If I don't go to southern Africa, will you kidnap me like the Americans?" Frederick was still in shock, and the scene just now frightened him.

Americans have always had a bad reputation in France. This country of thieves, liars, and robbers is hated by most French people.

Considering the relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom, it adds to the reason why the French hate the United States.

"Of course not. Even if you don't want to go to southern Africa, we will protect the safety of you and your wife." Ronald kept smiling. It doesn't matter if the Fredericks don't go to southern Africa, as long as they don't go to the United States.

With the relationship between Southern Africa and Free France, even if Frederick has a breakthrough in research, relevant institutions in Southern Africa can easily obtain Frederick's research results.

What's more, Frederick didn't know the progress of the research on the atomic bomb in southern Africa at all.

It can be seen that Frederick is very conflicted, but his wife is quite moved and is looking at Frederick with burning eyes.

Mrs. Frederick never wanted to experience that scene again.

Only a strong country can allow people like Frederick to show their strengths.

Mrs. Frederick is the daughter of Mrs. Curie, and she is very clear about the importance of the scientific research environment.

"Is Brian okay now?" Frederick asked suddenly.

Brian Thomson is a close friend of the Fredericks. One year before the outbreak of the World War, Brian Thomson went to Nyasaland University to teach through "academic exchange". He stayed in southern Africa and has now joined the Southern African African nationality.

"Professor Thomson is very good. He is now the dean of the School of Physics at the University of Rhodesia. As you know, the treatment given to Professor Thomson by the University of Rhodesia is better than that of Nyasaland University." Ronald learned in detail before Through Frederick's social relations, he knows Frederick no less than Frederick's wife Irena.

Irene is the daughter of Mrs. Curie. After Frederick married Irene, in order to commemorate the great surname "Curie", Frederick changed his surname to Curie.

Putting this matter in southern Africa is equivalent to Frederick's marriage.

The University of Rhodesia was founded by Stoudemire and is located in Salisbury, the capital of Rhodesia.

In terms of academic achievements, the University of Rhodesia is not as good as Nyasaland University, but Stoudemire has enough financial resources to provide a good life for the professors of the University of Rhodesia.

As soon as Ronald finished his first sentence, Frederick knew that Thomson was doing well. After all, in southern Africa, not just any cat or dog can be a professor.

Thomson's own ability is also good. Last year, he won the "Starry Sky Award" in southern Africa for his major breakthrough in physics.

"Those Americans, what is their purpose?" Frederick believed that he had not betrayed France and should not be treated like this.

"Americans, you know, they always want to get top European high-tech talents, no matter what way—" Ronald's expression was sincere, and Frederick was deeply moved by his words: "—this is also my For your reason of concern, only in Southern Africa are you and your family safe."

"Jorio—" Irena held Frederick's hand tightly, her voice fearful and disturbed.

Frederick was lucky this time and was saved by Ronald in time.

If Frederick continued to stay in Paris, he might be kidnapped by the Americans one day, and it was impossible for Ronald to appear by Frederick's side at any time.

"I understand, Irena, I will never put you in danger." Frederick and his wife had a deep affection, and staying in France did not have a good future.

Boris Poss, too, was not in good shape. After he was taken to Patton's headquarters, he was interrogated overnight by agents from Brad's office.

There was no torture to extract a confession, and the agents in Brad's office still respected their allies.

Of course, there are ways. Boris Perse persisted for a full 36 hours, and finally surrendered completely in a semi-comatose state. At this time, Ronald knew that the Americans had already started to act in the Apennine Peninsula, and had already gained.

After the Allied forces captured Rome, Boris Boss led his team to interrogate the captured Italian scientists, checked a large number of private letters between German and Italian scientists, and analyzed all the seized files. Before the end of next year, it is impossible for Germany to develop an atomic bomb.

This conclusion is very important, because it has long been recognized within the Allied Forces that the war will end before the end of next year.

This gave the Americans a reassurance, but also sounded the alarm for the Americans.

The Germans are not technically incapable, on the contrary, the progress of the Germans on the atomic bomb is still ahead of the Americans.

The key is the raw material.

To study the atomic bomb, uranium ore is inseparable. Germany does not produce uranium ore, and all the uranium ore needed for the research of the atomic bomb must be imported.

Through the interrogation of Italian scientists, Boris Poss confirmed that the Germans had hoarded at least 500 tons of uranium ore, and also hoarded a large amount of thorium ore that could replace uranium.

To the embarrassment of Persia, most of the uranium ore and thorium ore hoarded by the Germans were obtained through the Americans.

So this news is strictly sealed, only the Americans know.

During the interrogation period in Persia, Patton withstood the pressure from the U.S. military. Eisenhower sent consecutive telegrams to Patton on the afternoon of the arrest in Persia. Meet Barton.

"Is there such a thing? I'm sorry, I don't know very well. I need to ask someone." Barton pretended to be stupid and refused to admit the arrest of Persia.

This is also reasonable, after all, everyone knows that the coordination and command of the Allied Forces is chaotic, and the situation in Paris is not completely stable now. There are Southern African Expeditionary Forces in the city, Free French soldiers, guerrillas, and some who have just finished the strike and resumed work noisyly. The railway workers, as well as Qian Weixi French soldiers who defected before the battle.

With so many forces mixed together, Patton's reason can also be justified. Of course, Eisenhower definitely doesn't believe it.

"General Patton—" Eisenhower was corrected by Patton as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Call me Marshal!"

Eisenhower suddenly felt a little short of breath. There is no marshal in the United States, and the highest is a five-star general.

"Marshal Patton, with your control over the army, how could this happen—Colonel Boris Persia is very important to us, no matter what, please ensure the safety of Colonel Persia." Eisenhower did not Angry, his self-cultivation is really good.

Not all the Allied forces were commanded chaotically. The Allied forces that landed from the Port of Toulon fought well under the command of Patton. Although de Gaulle had selfish intentions, he did not compete with Patton for command. This is worthy of recognition.

While Eisenhower complimented Patton, he was even more worried about the safety of Colonel Boris Perse. After all, there are no eyesight on the battlefield.

"If Colonel Persia can be found, I will definitely guarantee the safety of Colonel Persia." Barton didn't say anything, Persia hasn't explained yet.

The information given by Persia is still very valuable. According to the information held by the United States, in Belgium alone, the Germans have hoarded about 100 tons of uranium ore.

Even more important is a list of German scientists.

Before the "Halsos" commando went to Europe, Groves sent each member of the commando team a form listing the resumes, addresses and places of work of 50 famous German scientists. All related to the development plan of the atomic bomb.

"The progress of the Americans is a bit slow. According to the current progress, it will take at least 46 years for the Americans to successfully develop it." Ronald personally reported the results of the interrogation to Barton.

"What about rockets?" Patton was more concerned about conventional weapons. Even if the Americans had atomic bombs, they would not dare to throw them in southern Africa.

"There is no movie at all, but the Americans have obtained some technology about rocket launchers from Russia. Of course, these technologies are not important. After all, the Russians have not fully mastered rocket technology." Ronald was full of pride. Talking about rocket technology, southern Africa is the first.

That's why Roque dared to say that if German scientists cannot be brought to southern Africa, then at least the Americans must be guaranteed not to get them.

The German rockets can only be used to attack London now, and they are not accurate, with a hit rate of less than 50.00%.

The hit rate here does not refer to precisely hitting a certain building, but refers to falling within the range of London.

The urban area of ​​London is very large, and the German rocket hit rate is less than 50.00%. From this, it can be seen that the German rocket technology is not good.

The Southern African rocket, if launched from London, is at least guaranteed to land within the city limits of Paris.

With the results of the Persian interrogation, Barton was finally relieved, and waved Ronald to let him go.

"Do you want to release that American?" Ronald hesitated a little. Actually, it would be better to kill this kind of person.

"What are you thinking, of course you have to let it go, and I'll give you a good apology—" Barton is a shameless person, and he definitely can't do this kind of thing.

Ronald could do it. After he reported to Barton, he turned around and woke up Persia, who had just fallen asleep.

The agents in Brad's office used fatigue interrogation to completely break Persia. After the interrogation, Persia fell asleep directly in the interrogation room.

Ronald did not do anything, and ordered Persia to be woken up directly. Persia was very angry and glared at Ronald, but did not speak.

So what if he was angry, even scolding Ronald would not change Persia's situation.

Now Persia doesn't know that he has explained all the things he knows, and he is in a semi-comatose state, which is indeed beyond his control.

"I'm sorry, this was a misunderstanding, now the problem has been resolved, you can go—" Ronald's apology was dry, without any guilt.

Persia said nothing and did not ask about Frederick's whereabouts. His mission had completely failed.

The key to this kind of secret mission is not to attract attention. Once the attention of southern Africa is drawn, the Persian team will have nothing to hide.

Compared with the United States, Europe is completely away. The relationship between southern Africa and European countries is much better than that between the United States and European countries. If the Southern African expeditionary force also finds people according to the list, there is no need to use such violence as "kidnapping" The way.

Even German scientists probably would not refuse an invitation from southern Africa.

After all, staying in the Germans will also fall into the hands of the Russians.

Thinking about it this way, I might as well go to southern Africa.

Outside the headquarters, the car sent by Eisenhower was waiting. After receiving Persia, the car drove all the way to the US embassy in Paris.

Eisenhower was not at the embassy. He went to the Elysee Palace to meet de Gaulle. Eisenhower hoped to get the command of the Free French Army.

No matter how unbearable the Free French Army is, it is much better than the British and Indian troops.

"Of course, the Free French Army will definitely obey the command of the High Command of the Allied Forces, but I have a question. Since Operation Overlord and Operation Dragoon have been successful, is it necessary for Operation Overlord to exist?" De Gaulle asked Essen Howell's biggest worry.

The Allied Forces had only one North African Command, with Patton serving as commander in chief.

In order to command "Operation Overlord", Winston and Roosevelt decided to set up an operational command in London. Since the US military participated in "Operation Overlord" more troops, Eisenhower served as the commander-in-chief.

Eisenhower never expected that he just wanted the command of the Free French Army, but de Gaulle directly targeted Eisenhower's source of power.
