Bismarck

Bismarck was even more surprised! What had Lily experienced during her three years of work?

She was originally very happy in the ivory tower, but now she has been taught a lesson by the society and is so helpless!

"You don't know, those scientists are actually connected to each other, so there's no point in me changing jobs - unless I stop doing scientific research, it's the same wherever I go. But my major is nuclear physics, and if I don't join the institute, it would be like studying in vain... Besides, if they find something wrong with my father, I really don't know how they will frame him..."

Thinking of Professor Heisenberg's tyranny and despotism, Lily shook her head helplessly.

"But, you..."

"I'm fine. They won't assign me projects or resources anyway. In fact, I just help them every day, but he has to have the final say... Never mind. I'll just do whatever he says. I'll just be scolded less..."

Seeing Lily, who was obviously a little depressed and even began to give up on herself, Bismarck on the opposite side looked unwilling, but was also somewhat speechless...

What should I do about this matter...

Outside the window, the wind had begun to blow, and the bright moonlight had begun to be covered with a layer of mist...

…………At the same time, in a private residence near the University of Berlin…………

"So, you want me to try to find a way to transfer Liliana Lütjens from the Institute of Physics of the Kaiser Wilhelm Society to the research team that is working with the Navy on nuclear power?"

Siegfried Frog, who had changed into a very low-key and conspicuous outfit, poured himself a glass of beer and spoke to the others in the room while drinking.

"I think we can give it a try." One person said, "You all know who Miss Lütjens' father is. Even if he has a bad relationship with Redel, no one will doubt his loyalty. And as you said yourself, Frog, her position in the institute is very awkward, and now only you can talk to her - so whether you are pursuing her or just being friends with her, we may be able to get some more information from their Nuclear Power Research Institute!"

(Klaus Bonhoeffer 1901-1945, jurist, backbone of anti-Nazi organization)

"Besides, even if the Gestapo investigates, the first person to be investigated will be that damn 'Evil Spirit Lord'. If the Evil Spirit Fleet and the Crispy Party turn against each other, wouldn't we be killing two birds with one stone? - Oh, my God, please forgive me, although we should be more evil than evil to the devil! Amen"

Another man who looked like a priest also spoke up, and his thoughts were even more vicious...

(Dietrich Bonhoeffer 1906-1945, priest, backbone of anti-Nazi organization)

"Yes, yes, what Klaus and Dietrich said is right. Anyway, you will soon be transferred to Dr. Dibner's research team, plus the secret line left by Admiral Canaris in the past, by then, we will have at least three channels to know their nuclear plan! Siegfried, what are you still hesitating about?"

The third person in the corner, Justus Delbruck (a core member of the anti-Nazi organization), also looked at Frog with a smirk on his face.

After all, there aren't many opportunities to seduce a poor young lady from a general's mansion! Moreover, only Frog has the conditions to do so.

"This……"

Honestly speaking, Frog was still a little hesitant about taking advantage of a girl like this, even if she was the eldest daughter of the Lu family.

And whether the truth is revealed or victory is achieved, if there is someone who is really hurt the most, it can only be her, right?

but……

Thinking of his mentor Max Born (1954 Nobel Prize in Physics), who taught physics at the University of Dresden but had to go to England because of his Jewish identity, and his "like-minded" friends Lise Meitner and Max Delbruck (Justo's brother), who were in Dr. Otto Hahn's research group as early as 1938 and sold information on nuclear fission abroad by colluding with internal and external forces, and then thinking of his own life philosophy, Frog's eyes gradually became firm.

"Done! I'll take care of this tomorrow!"

PS: The Debrook-Bonhoeffer Group is one of the anti-Nazi groups in the academic world in history. The two families are "academic families" in the fields of German history and law and chemistry and biology, and Klaus Bonhoeffer's wife is from the Debrook family. Historically, the family has always played a considerable role in the academic and legal circles of Nazi Germany, and has always maintained close ties with the political circles and the anti-Nazi forces within the Junker Officers Corps (such as Canaris, Ludwig Beck, etc.). After the July 720 Incident, the group was cracked by the Gestapo. Except for Lise Meitner and Max Debrook who fled to the United States beforehand, the main members of the gang were all shot (except Flöge, who conducted nuclear explosion experiments with thousands of Soviet prisoners of war in the nuclear test site in 45 - this is completely no different from the Fascist forces he "hated" - and then he went directly to the Allies with almost a complete set of information as if nothing had happened, and finally had a good end...)

Chapter 764: Transferring Liliana

It rained all night long and only gradually stopped in the early morning of the next day.

The slight coolness after the rain made Lily shiver slightly in her dream.

But it’s finally not hot anymore, and it’s almost time to go back to the institute.

After a few words of encouragement from Uzuki, Bismarck reluctantly sent the still silent Lily to the train back to the institute. After watching the train leave, Bismarck ran directly towards the direction of the Admiralty building.

I talked with Lily until very late last night, and asked her a lot of questions, whether it was about work and research fields, or the fact that Lily was not happy in the institute or even had problems with Alexander. Regardless of whether it was a public or private matter, everything had to be reported to the captain.

Although Lily disagreed with the obvious transfer, she at least wanted to let the captain know how much pressure Lily was under in the research institute.

The captain is a man with a strong sense of responsibility, he will definitely find a way to deal with this situation!

After hearing Bismarck's report, it turned out that...

With a bang, a large hand with one wide edge and three narrow edges embroidered on its cuff angrily slammed on his desk:

"These people in the institute are such assholes?!"

Lindeman on the side also frowned.

Even the little hamster, who had been leisurely buried in a pile of electronic tubes and snacks, shuddered at this moment, stretched out half of its head fearfully, and looked left and right with a confused look on its face.

"Yes, and Lily also said that Heisenberg is very selfish when it comes to scientific research. A nuclear reactor has not made any progress so far except for an explosion at the end of June. As Lily said, those so-called masters of the Institute of Physics of the Kaiser Wilhelm Society are basically the same..." Bismarck added.

"So they monopolize the most heavy water, high-quality graphite, and enriched U235 in the country, but their progress is not as good as Dibna's bomb group, and they haven't come up with something to quickly refine U235 like von Arden of the Postal (Party) Government (Health) Ministry (Military) Research Group - what a bastard!"

He originally had only a short flat top, and when he was busy he seemed to be becoming "getting stronger like Saitama". However, whether he was thinking of his daughter or the progress of scientific research, Lütjens felt a little indignant.

"It seems that the people at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute are not very reliable... How about this, Commander, I have an idea." Lindemann sat aside, twisting his chin, and thinking about countermeasures: "Since the people in the 'bomb group' are only second-rate scientists but their research has made great progress, it probably means that developing nuclear reactors and 'growing mushrooms' does not require the gods and uncles of the Institute of Physics. So... we can either find a way to integrate the scientific research forces of the military and the Ministry of Posts, or transfer some people to strengthen the scientific research group of the military. Either way, we should try it."

"That sounds good, but Bismarck just said that the most important thing for scientific research is to have enough resources allocated to scientists to do research. Otherwise, if they don't touch the laboratory for a few years, the scientific research ability of scientists will be wasted..." Lütjens thought for a while and frowned. "The current situation is that the materials of the scientific research groups of Dibner and other military branches combined are less than half of what Heisenberg has, and those industrial enterprises are unwilling to expand the production capacity of nuclear materials... In addition, the relationships among those scientists are complicated. If we blindly transfer people on a large scale, it may be counterproductive..."

After Lütjens said this, several people frowned.

"This is indeed a problem..." Lindemann frowned.

"Then...what if we simply integrate the development of the mushroom bomb and the reactor? After the integration, we can concentrate resources on tackling these two projects, right?" Bismarck was a little unwilling.

"But this is a big problem that at least involves the three major military services and Himmler. It's a lot of trouble and not easy to deal with..." Lütjens pinched his nose and felt his head hurting more and more.

After all, I was just temporarily transferred from the navy to fill the gap. Sooner or later, I will be transferred back after the fleet is repaired. The water in the scientific research community is so deep. If there is no good method, the effect is estimated to be 666. Besides, political decision-making is largely not about who has the ability and who does the best, but who has the biggest backing and who has the capital to do things - but even if there is a Zeppelin line, as a navy, Goering may not fully support me. Besides, I am now a commander without troops even in the navy. And if the navy does not support me, who else can support me?

One head is two big, two people and one cat means three heads are six big. But at this moment, a mysterious voice came out:

"Tsk, you guys are such a jerk. It's just a small matter, but you make such a fuss about it."

The three people who were in distress turned their heads and said in unison: "Grapes?!"

"It's me. Besides, this problem is not complicated at all!" Lazily turned his head away and said with a look of disdain, "If you are worried about too many people, just send a few less out. If you can't coordinate, just push it up. It's just a small matter, and you still have to think about it..."

The faint contempt coming out of the lazy Grape's mouth sounded so natural that even the two people and the cat who were despised felt like they were petrified.

Transfer a few fewer people, and then stab the higher-ups or something...

Seeing that several people were still in a petrified state, Tizi, who looked annoyed, clicked his tongue a few times and then began to make up for it: "Tsk, mobilizing a few people is not a big problem for our authority. Besides, the problems that we can't solve ourselves may not be solved by the big guys above us."

This damn girl...

The two people and the cat looked at each other and thought silently.

But, what he said actually made sense...

only……

Although he was just a figurehead general, and indeed did not have enough backstage power to integrate nuclear research and development, but... after all, nuclear research was divided into multiple departments, and the needs of each unit were different. In addition, the relevant nuclear materials were still in short supply. By then, the army, navy, air force and SS would probably be fighting for the dominance of nuclear research again...

Or... contact Speer first and find a way to solve the raw material production capacity problem?

The two people and the cat looked at each other, feeling a little tangled...

…………Lütjens brought Speer along and started to “operate” the dividing line everywhere…………

only……

"What? Transfer Liliana to the research team that cooperates with the Navy?"

"Yes, Professor Heisenberg." In front of the de facto boss of the entire German physics research field, Frog's usual gentle expression did not change at all: "Liliana is the daughter of General Lütjens, as you know... In this way, we have one less internal 'nail', and Lütjens will probably not say anything gossipy - although we don't need to be afraid of him, it is always better to make friends with someone than to offend him. Besides, if we can make friends with them, we can also get some progress information from them, and then we can refer to and improve our own research results. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"

Frog's face was filled with a sincere smile.

They were very confident that they could convince Heisenberg - although according to their observations, Heisenberg did not show any tendency to be a mole at least so far, but Frog, who had long understood Heisenberg's temper, was very clear about his weaknesses: he was greedy for academic status and was essentially keen on fame, fortune and power.

Frog knew that he would soon be transferred to Dibner's side - this was what Heisenberg had thought of, arranging "one of his own" to infiltrate his rival in the scientific research community and "reference" some of the other party's research. Even Frog knew that Heisenberg himself knew that Dibner's reactor design with honeycomb arrangement of fuel rods was much more efficient than his own "U material flat plate" and saved more materials.

After all, what Heisenberg feared most was that others would surpass him, making him seem unworthy of the title of a leading figure in physics.

(PS: Historically, Heisenberg finally "improved" his reactor design when he designed the third reactor in 43 - although it would be more appropriate to say that he directly plagiarized Dibner's design rather than improving it...)

Speaking of which, Heisenberg also remembered that it seemed that Liliana had taken a leave of absence and went home for one night these two days...

And her father is General Lütjens...

Heisenberg always felt that there was something wrong.

As a physics master who had already proven himself, Heisenberg could no longer care about fame and fortune. But even so, what he could not tolerate the most was anything that could challenge his authority!

It was precisely because of this mentality that, on the one hand, he did not hesitate to turn against his teacher Niels Bohr in order to verify his estimate of the critical mass of U235; on the other hand, he tried to be as "safe as possible" in nuclear research, and even monopolized a considerable amount of nuclear materials for his own experiments and those of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Physics.

But now...

Although General Lütjens was not a figure in the scientific research community, he was at least a naval admiral, and was currently in charge of scientific research. Moreover, his daughter was not doing well under his command...

"Although I'm not afraid of him, I'm afraid this is a 'safety hazard'..."

Heisenberg, who had already become an authority in the academic world, quickly made up his mind:

"Frog, I agree with you. Anyway, the subject group that Liliana is in is also studying nuclear power, so..."

Chapter 765: The British are also helpless

It's foggy in the early morning in London, and even in late summer or early autumn there seems to be a faint haze floating in the air.

In a sunny office, William Wyatt, the director of MI6, who was so obsessed with technical intelligence and investment in technological development that he was almost not doing his job properly, was reviewing a technical report in his hand.

"Rolls-Royce engine progress report... Well, the development of the 'Griffin' engine has been successful. Some new fighters, including the Typhoon/Tempest fighter, are planned to be equipped with this engine. Moreover, this engine is said to be able to be used on the Spitfire fighter. It is recommended to make additional investments to expand production capacity so that both the Spitfire and the Tempest can be equipped with more advanced engines as soon as possible... This is great, signed!"

William always liked to smile - although it was inexplicable, except for his little niece and his loyal adjutant Colonel Andre, everyone else thought he was smiling like a ghost - William still signed his name generously, put it aside, and looked at the next document:

"...in terms of electronic computers, the U.S. military research department recruited a scientist named John Vincent Atanasoff. He brought a set of blueprints of an electronic computer that was said to be developed by him and his apprentice Clifford E. Berry. The Americans thought it was very promising, but they still needed all the information and prototype blueprints left by Turing as a reference... Tsk, it turns out that the Prime Minister has signed his consent, and he just asked me to send someone to deliver the things... Remember that Kim Philby is in charge of the CIA's foreign affairs and counterintelligence confidentiality, so let him do it." Seeing the Prime Minister giving his own good things to the United States just as he said, although he had to do it, William still had some complaints in his heart.

"The third document... Hmm? NASA expressed interest in the jet engine currently being developed by Rolls-Royce, and the Prime Minister also signed the agreement... Damn it, we are still a little unsure about the development progress of this thing... Forget it, give this to Philby as well, and let him figure out a way to give it to the Americans when the time comes..."

Shaking his head, William, who was no longer able to complain about the prime minister's actions that were shaking the country's foundation, felt a little pain in his bones.

"Really? With a guy like this as Prime Minister, the British Empire is doomed..."

William, absent-minded, continued to review other documents while cursing. It didn't take long for him to finish reviewing a pile of documents.

"It's the last document. Once you're done, you can go have some morning tea... huh!?"

Picking up the document and glancing at it, William, who was originally careless, suddenly had his eyes wide open with fear: "The Bonhoeffer family and the Debruck family are operating in the Institute of Physics of the Kaiser Wilhelm Society. It seems that they want to transfer Liliana Lütjens, the daughter of Admiral Lütjens, the 'king of evil spirits', to the German Navy's nuclear power research team in order to obtain relevant information on German nuclear research... In order to better achieve this goal, Siegfried Flöge is... trying to get close to Liliana to gain her favor... This... Damn it! Why are they doing this!"

As the director of MI6, William Wyatt had considered far more than those few anti-LaChui organizations with ulterior motives! Moreover, he had warned everyone he could influence: Don't force the "evil fleet" which already had great power and acted very strangely into a situation where they would do anything at any cost!

What’s more, just two months ago, the intelligence team originally stationed in Kiel was uncovered without any clear reason!

If I remember correctly, the group lost contact when they were planning to guide bombers to bomb the Kiel shipyard!

William knew very well that Liliana was the Achilles' heel of the Lütjens Fleet! Thinking of the consequences of doing this, William could not help but angrily smash the documents in his hand, and then shouted his adjutant's name at the top of his voice:

"Andre! Come here right now!!"

After a loud shout, the adjutant rushed in immediately: "Here! What do you want, Director?!"

"Take a look at this document on the ground and see what big news these smart-aleck idiots are going to make!" William pointed at the document on the ground and said to his adjutant with a depressed look on his face, "We must stop these idiots before they do something that will anger the heavens and the people! If we can't, try our best not to let them drag us into this - got it?!"

"Yes! I'll contact Germany right away!!"

Something that could make the usually calm boss so angry that he slammed the table was definitely not a trivial matter. Moreover, there was the precedent of the anthrax letter last time. Andre did not dare to be negligent and quickly turned around and retreated.

In the huge office, William Wyatt was the only one left, staring at the documents on the table angrily.

It was not until a long time later that Andre knocked on Director William's door with an embarrassed look on his face...

"What's wrong? What trouble is there again?"

Seeing Andre's embarrassed face, William smacked his lips in fear again, but as the director of MI6, even if he was just being loyal to his duties, he had to face the reality in the end.

Looking at Director William with a face full of gritted teeth, although he knew that his own director would not vent his anger on others under normal circumstances, the development of the matter still made Colonel Andre, the adjutant, look a little embarrassed: "Um... Director, it seems that Liliana has been transferred by Heisenberg to the Navy's research group to develop reactors... And, as you know, those organizations within Germany have their own backers and channels, and they may not necessarily listen to us..."

"Damn it, these guys are really good at causing trouble! I hope this is just a personnel transfer, and don't cause any trouble for me..."

William sat down on the director's chair and started mumbling, but soon he raised his head, looked at Andre and said, "Andre, tell the people who are in contact with the Debrook-Bonhoeffer family to keep an eye on them. If they make any big news, our people will choose to distance themselves from them first! If nothing goes wrong, it's fine. But if something goes wrong, we must not let the Germans find out about us, understand?!"

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

Andre nodded seriously.

…………William Wyatt was not the only one who looked confused…………

"What?! Lily was transferred to the Navy's nuclear research group by Heisenberg?!"

"Yes, Captain. She just called us through her ring and asked if we should transfer her out or something..."

Looking at the news told to him by the secretary ship with a unhappy expression on his face, Lütjens said that he was also confused.

"What was the reason for being transferred there? Did you tell me?"
