Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Von Braun's condition was very bad. His shoulder and arm were fractured in a car accident during the transfer. Due to the situation at the time, he did not receive timely treatment.

After arriving in the Alps, the SS officer Müller, who was in charge of team security, found a doctor for von Braun, and von Braun underwent surgery.

Speaking of this, I am lucky. The Alps are a ski resort, and people are often injured while skiing, so the doctors here are very experienced in treating fractures.

Although he received treatment, his recovery was not ideal due to the long delay.

Von Braun was less worried about his injury and more worried about the future and fate of the team.

Before entering the mountain, considering that the target of several thousand people was too large, Muller asked von Braun to reduce the team to 500 people, which could more effectively avoid the bombing and search of the Allied forces.

This made von Braun very difficult.

If a team of thousands of people is to be reduced to 500 people, it means that all family members and unimportant team members must be abandoned, which makes it difficult for von Braun to give up.

Müller was determined, telling von Braun that if von Braun couldn't do it, he would handle it the SS way.

Von Braun compromised. He carefully selected 500 people and left the remaining more than 3000 people and all the materials they carried in the Harz Mountains.

This decision was made jointly by von Braun and Walter Dornberger.

Walter Dornberger is the head of the rocket research and development base, Lieutenant General of the Artillery Army, served in the artillery unit in World War I, was captured in France in 18 years, was released in 19 years, and has been serving in the German Army since then , specializing in ballistics.

"The current situation is very bad. Berlin is being besieged by the Russian army, and Peenemünde is also occupied. Fortunately, we escaped in time." Walter is a technical officer and did not directly participate in the battle, so he is not in the Allied Forces on the liquidation list.

Of course, the fact that the Allied Forces did not hold Walter accountable does not mean that the United Kingdom did not hold him accountable.

The A-series rockets Walter studied were later V2.

"Fleeing here, what can we do?" Von Braun had a thick plaster cast on his arm, and he was still wearing a cotton coat. It was still cold in the Alps in April.

Since entering the Peenemünde base in 36, von Braun spent his daily life in research. After leaving the institute, von Braun did not know what he could do.

"Don't worry, you have a great future, and the future is still bright." Walter is actually very young, born in 1895 and just turned 50 years old.

Von Braun is younger, only 33 years old now. He used to be Walter's assistant. At the Peenemünde base, von Braun served as the director of the technical department.

"What I regret most now is that I didn't listen to your words last year and moved the base to Norway—" Walter regretted that many important facilities for Germany's nuclear research are in Norway.

Compared with Norway, the German mainland is more dangerous. Since 40 years, it has been bombed by the Allied forces, so the institute moved to the little-known small place in Peenemünde.

Von Braun smiled wryly. He didn't want to move the research institute to Norway at all, but to stay as far away from the German mainland as possible, looking for opportunities to join the Allied forces.

Von Braun is not the same as Mustache.

For a person like Mustache, his fate is firmly bound to the Three Reichs of Germany.

Von Braun was a scientist, and science knows no boundaries.

Here is an important point. The phrase "Science has no borders" first came from the French chemist Pasteur. The original words are "Although science has no borders, scholars have their own countries."

After Pasteur said this sentence, he probably forgot it, but it was carried forward by the United States, under the banner of "science has no borders" to collect science and technology and talents from all over the world, and then set national boundaries for technology.

Simply put, when technology is backward, science has no national boundaries.

When the technology is leading, let's talk about it.

law?

It doesn't matter, I can write it for you if you need it.

This is the American attitude towards science.

Von Braun didn’t know the Americans well enough, and he didn’t only contact southern Africa, but also the Americans and the British. It’s a pity that von Braun didn’t get what he wanted from the Americans and the British. feedback.

The so-called Operation Paperclip by the Americans has a relatively small scope of implementation, and not many people know about it.

The collection of technology and talents in southern Africa is mainly carried out through Brad's office.

"Can you find a way to increase some nutrition for our researchers, their condition is very bad." Von Braun was very worried about the health of the researchers.

The current level of development in the Alps is far less than that of the 21st century, when the material living conditions are extremely developed, and life in the mountains is still very bad.

The Germans still attach great importance to these scientists. At the Peenemünde base, the researchers are taken care of in every possible way and do not need to worry about their lives.

After entering the Alps, not to mention research, even the basic life cannot be guaranteed. The researchers are not in good health because they work in the laboratory all the year round. Most of them are in a sub-health state. For a long time, more than a dozen have fallen ill.

What's more terrible is that not only the lack of living security in the mountains, but also lack of medical treatment, if not treated in time, it may not take long before the team will be completely disbanded.

"I've already talked to Colonel Muller about this problem, but Colonel Mueller doesn't have a good solution." Walter can't do anything about it. They can't let all the SS officers and soldiers who protect them hunt.

It is said to be protection, but it is actually surveillance.

It was not von Braun's habit to hide in the mountains and wait for his death. He desperately wanted to return to the laboratory, where he could fully realize his self-worth.

At night, in the room where von Braun lived, more than 30 scientists gathered, and they were the core members of the research team.

The place where von Braun lives is a village, which is said to be a village, but in fact there are only a dozen families, which cannot accommodate all team members, so von Braun and his 500 people were forced to disperse to several nearby villages .

This also caused the SS army responsible for "protecting" them to be severely dispersed and insufficient, so von Braun was given a chance.

As the leader of the team, von Braun has the only radio in the entire team. Every night, the core members of the team will come to von Braun's room on time to listen to the radio, which is the only way for them to understand the situation.

"The Southern African Expeditionary Force successfully joined forces with the Russian army on the Elbe River. The war is coming to an end, and the dawn of victory has appeared. Berlin is surrounded by the Allied forces. The leaders of the Allied countries issued a joint statement in Washington, urging Germany and Japan to surrender immediately and unconditionally." -"

Interferenced by the mountain terrain, the sound from the radio was intermittent, and the moods of the people surrounding the radio also fluctuated with the radio waves.

"The reporter of the Southern African Expeditionary Force interviewed Mr. Magnus from Welsitz in Hamburg. Mr. Magnus called on all peace-loving people to stand up and contribute their efforts to end this war -"

An interview in the news caught von Braun's attention.

Wilsitz was von Braun's hometown, and the name Magnus was more familiar to von Braun, which was also part of his full name.

"It's great, Magnus has got in touch with the southern Africans, and we have the opportunity to leave here—" Von Braun was very excited, this was his dawn.

"Are we going to Southern Africa?"

"What about the soldiers watching us?"

"I always feel that southern Africa is not as good as the United States, where we are more valued."

The core members of the team talked a lot, both yearning for the future and worrying about it.

This is also normal, regardless of southern Africa or the United States, these German researchers are unfamiliar.

Of course, relatively speaking, they will be more familiar with southern Africa.

After the end of World War I, Germany had already completed a round of raids in southern Africa, and many German scientific research talents immigrated to southern Africa.

These Germans who immigrated to southern Africa still maintain close contact with friends in Germany. After all, the so-called technology circle is actually that big.

Through correspondence, as well as reports in newspapers and magazines, the Germans actually know a lot about southern Africa.

In particular, the importance attached by the federal governments at all levels in southern Africa to scientific and technological research and development is also the envy of scientific researchers in Germany.

If you pay attention, you will give enough support.

It's not that Germany doesn't pay attention to it. The key is that compared with southern Africa, Germany's domestic resources are too few, and the support for scientific researchers is not enough.

The simplest example is that Germany began to study the atomic bomb at about the same time as southern Africa.

So why is the progress so far behind?
The atomic bombs in southern Africa can be applied to the battlefield, but Germany is still in the laboratory stage.

The fundamental reason is not that the Germans are not skilled enough, nor is the support from the mustaches insufficient, but that Germany lacks the raw materials necessary for research, that is, there are no mines on hand.

To study the atomic bomb, you can do it without raw materials.

When it comes to mineral resources, if southern Africa ranks second, no other country dares to rank first.

Even if Southern Africa does not have it, Southern Africa does not lack it.

Just have this confidence!
"What America has, Southern Africa has—what America doesn't have, Southern Africa has!" Von Braun concluded the discussion with one sentence.

As a German, von Braun had enough reasons to hate America.

The things the United States did during the two world wars are really disgusting.

Before von Braun wavered between southern Africa and the United States, there was no choice, and it was up for grabs.

Now that Magnus has made contact with Southern Africa, von Braun no longer hesitates, otherwise he might not be able to reap the benefits, and may even be killed.

It's true that southern Africans are saviors.

"Billy, you go down the mountain tomorrow and see if you can get in touch with the southern Africans." If possible, von Braun would like to go by himself, but unfortunately the situation does not allow, the shoulder and arm are still in plaster.

"Okay—" Belgium von Braun's most trusted assistant, a very smart and clever young man.

"I need two people to help me." Billy needed someone to help him get away from the guards.

This is not difficult. There is no fool in the head of a scientist, and everyone is extremely smart.

Early the next morning, with the help of his companions, Billy rode a bicycle down the mountain.

At this time, the war was not over yet, and there were allied forces stationed outside the mountain, not only the Southern African Expeditionary Force, but also the US military.

As soon as Billy came out of the mountain, he encountered an American patrol.

Billy was routinely checked by the patrol.

Billy's English is good, he successfully dealt with the US military's interrogation, and continued to search for the Southern African Expeditionary Force.

It was not difficult. The tricolor flag of the expeditionary force was very different from the American Stars and Stripes. Billy soon found the target.

"Where is Dr. Braun?" The expeditionary officer who received Billy was very excited, and Billy knew he had found the right one as soon as he asked.

"Dr. Braun's not doing well, he's just been treated for a comminuted shoulder and arm fracture—" Billy was cut off.

"Let's talk about these situations slowly on the way—" The officer took Billy into an armored command vehicle and set off quickly with a convoy.

It was really a convoy, led by motorcycles, a dozen armored vehicles, followed by trucks full of infantry.

Billy noticed that there were a few more ambulances at the back of the convoy, which pleased Billy.

The road into the mountain was very difficult. At this time, the traffic was far less developed than later generations. There was no road in the mountain. Fortunately, there was a sidewalk paved with stones. Armored vehicles barely walked through it with their strong off-road capabilities.

"We have 500 people in total, and more than 3000 people were forced to stay in the Harz Mountains. The Harz Mountains and all the research materials we carried were buried in a coal mine." Billy knew everything, and surrendered. The look of surrender.

"How many German troops are there?" Major Marly was more concerned about the safety of the team.

The information is not important to southern Africa, and the expeditionary force is not even interested in the actual V2 rocket.

When the Germans withdrew from the Peenemunde base, they destroyed the entire base without leaving anything of value.

The Southern African Expeditionary Force lost interest in Peenemunde after learning that the von Braun team had withdrawn from Peenemunde.

The Russians persevered and almost turned Peenemunde three feet.

Not to mention, the Russians really found something.

In the process of developing the V2 rocket, the Germans had some semi-finished products and defective products. These things were discarded in an abandoned warehouse, and no one cared about them, not even guards.

When the Germans destroyed the Peenemunde base, they ignored these semi-finished and defective products, so these things were found by the Russians.

The Russians transported these semi-finished and defective products back to Russia as if they had found a treasure, trying to get the secret of the V2 rocket from them.

Southern Africa doesn't need it because there are better ones in hand.

The technology of the Germans is still not good enough. Britain has a V2 rocket that has not exploded. The relevant personnel in southern Africa have long known the secret of the V2 rocket.
