Bismarck

As a scientist, when Frog encountered something like "evil spirits", he couldn't help but start to imagine the existence of the mysterious side - come to think of it, since it is an evil spirit or something, maybe she does hold some secrets of the "mysterious side of the world"?

"Although she probably only suspects me and doesn't know about the Bonhoeffer brothers and Debrook, it seems that I have to be more careful recently..."

In Frog's heart, he gradually raised his alert level towards the ship girls.

-

"Commander, Bismarck just contacted Bismarck. She said that Frog is in Kiel now. He said that he came to 'receive' the heavy water and 'dropped by to visit Lily'... Bismarck has asked Lily to be careful of Frog. She also contacted Eugen and asked him to help take care of the Naval Research Institute... Do you think we should check the Heavy Water Research Institute as well?"

Lütjens, who had just come back from a "connection" trip and had not even had time to catch his breath, was flipping through the files on Frog with a gloomy face. Lindemann stood beside him, also reporting the initial findings with a serious face.

After all, causing trouble with Liliana would not only touch upon Lütjens' bottom line.

Looking at the files in his hand, listening to Lindemann's report, thinking about the progress and safety of nuclear physics, and worrying about Lily's safety, the battle-hardened admiral's suppressed anger was like an approaching storm, and the cold murderous aura he unconsciously exuded filled the entire room. Even the 50,000-ton battleship (small one) that had been heartlessly curled up in the hamster nest in the corner and now stood obediently beside its captain felt that it was shivering with cold.

There weren't many files, so Lütjens quickly finished reading them. But when he thought that this guy might be involved in heavy water, and even tried to achieve some purpose by getting close to Lily, the long-suppressed storm could no longer be suppressed and turned into angry thunder, and he slapped him hard!

"You actually set your sights on Lily. This is simply unforgivable!"

Slamming the book in his hand, the decisive and ruthless Lord of the Order of the Golden Knight slammed the table in anger and said, "Lindemann, go with Tizi and find all the files of people related to Frog, and then come with me to the Gestapo - I want to get to the bottom of it!"

"Yes!" Lindman agreed immediately with a cold face. And the temporary draftee standing beside him, Tizi, also had an impatient expression on his face and nodded viciously.

You are the one who dragged me, who was already busy to death, to look for the files. All this is blamed on you!

--

In the guesthouse in Kiel Harbor, Frog, who had just finished dinner, was tossing and turning with a look of MMP on his face.

It seems that he may be targeted by evil spirits, so everyone needs to be careful... Bismarck is a little suspicious of herself now, but she probably has no evidence that he has contacted other people. However, the possibility of her monitoring cannot be ruled out... So we can't act rashly now. Once we go out to call the police, we are more likely to be caught red-handed..."

"My biggest worry now is whether they will be able to track me down. But... damn it, even if nothing goes wrong with my line, Karl Friedrich at the heavy water plant is also a member of the Bonhoeffer family - this cannot withstand investigation!"

The more Frog tossed and turned, the more he thought about the situation and felt that it was not good.

According to relevant regulations, once a possible problem is discovered, at least a warning message should be sent out without exposing oneself, and then others can find ways to respond - whether it is lurking or destroying evidence.

Frog and the others already had a complete set of procedures and code words. But first, he had to be able to sound the alarm!

Frog really wanted to send out a coded alarm, but what was even worse was that he had no way to do so at the moment!

In order to minimize the risk of arousing suspicion, the secret code was communicated using a serious-looking business telegram. However...

"Kil is a naval base, and it's curfew time now. My pass has higher authority than civilians, but it's not enough for night travel... Tsk tsk, it looks like I won't be able to pass on the alarm until tomorrow morning at the earliest! What the hell..."

During the curfew, you are not allowed to go out at will. Besides the patrolling military police, there may be ship girls watching you! Although he has a gun certificate because of his work unit and carries a pistol in his briefcase, Frog, who had heard about the inhuman combat power of those "evil spirits" in the PY transaction with the British, did not expect this thing to play any role.

After all, according to the news from the Bermuda Garrison, these evil spirits are savage creatures that can grab tons of field artillery and smash them everywhere. With just a pistol, they may not even be able to blink an eye.

"It's just one night. I hope I won't miss anything important. God bless you. Amen..."

Looking out the window at the Kiel Harbor as the night deepened, Frog was in a state of confusion, tossing and turning but there was nothing he could do, he could only pray for God's blessing...

-------

Flöge's worries were not groundless. While Flöge was tossing and turning in bed in the guesthouse, Lütjens, who had urgently retrieved the file of Karl-Friedrich Bonhoeffer from the archives, was waiting in Himmler's office with Lindemann and Tirpitz.

As for the personnel director and archivist of the Kaiser Wilhelm Society who were urgently dragged out of bed by Lütjens? At this moment, they were being watched by a whole team of military police with a confused look on their faces!

Even so, Lütjens did not dare to delay and went straight to the Gestapo with the file!

Although he was woken up in the middle of the night, Himmler was still able to remain calm. However, no one knew what he was planning behind his seemingly always graceful smile.

In fact, if possible, Lütjens did not want to have a deep relationship with Himmler. But this time the matter was not only important, but also urgent - even if Lily's safety was not mentioned, the fact that the Third Reich's heavy water was now entirely supplied by the Norwegian hydropower station was already a matter of urgency!

Both Flöge and Karl-Friedrich Bonhoeffer were national key talents and were on the registered list. If there was a problem with such people, the consequences would be disastrous.

just in case……

Fortunately, the issue of nuclear integration is of great importance, and Himmler is very concerned about it. So he has already sent people to investigate the relevant files.

If there are omissions in the institute's archives, the Gestapo's archives must be more complicated and more specific.

Not long after, the Gestapo archivist came in with a stack of files and began to report to the two bosses:

"There is no direct problem with Siegfried Flöge's file for now. The main suspicion is that he had contact with Lise Meitner and others. But there is really a problem with Karl-Friedrich Bonhoeffer's file!"

"What's the problem?!" Lütjens was startled, looked at Himmler with a serious look, and asked hurriedly.

"Karl-Friedrich Bonhoeffer's younger brother is a key suspect of our Gestapo: Father Dietrich Bonhoeffer!" The Gestapo archivist said expressionlessly, "As early as 39, this person has been under our surveillance. He is suspected of organizing an underground secret church and has a number of suspicious overseas activities. But he is protected by the Abwehr (Abwehr, the German military intelligence agency, headed by General Canaris), and the second brother of the Bonhoeffer family, Klaus Bonhoeffer, is the head of a guild in the legal field... The Bonhoeffer family has a great influence, so when there is no direct evidence, even we at the Gestapo have no way to arrest people and conduct searches directly."

"As I expected, there is something wrong with the Military Intelligence Agency..."

Listening to the report from the archivist, Himmler secretly estimated how much benefit he could gain from this matter. However, even though he was calculating in his heart, his expression remained unchanged, and he nodded without a trace of arrogance. Then, after a moment's hesitation, he gave instructions with a smile on his face:

"It doesn't matter if there is no evidence. Just raise their surveillance level to the highest level. Also, if Frog was just discovered today, all letters and phone calls to him should be checked and monitored in the next few days. As long as they dare to make a move, there will definitely be a breakthrough."

"Understood!"

The Gestapo men saluted and turned away.

Watching his men retreat, Himmler, who had already made his calculations in his mind, looked at Lütjens calmly and said, "Then, General Lütjens, this matter may involve Admiral Canaris of your navy. In order not to affect the relationship between you and me and Field Marshal Raeder, please tell this to Field Marshal Raeder. Just remember, except for Field Marshal Raeder himself, it is best not to let a third person in the navy know."

"This matter is of great importance and may cause an 'earthquake'. But if the news leaks out, it will be a huge hidden danger for the Third Reich. So, please give Marshal Raeder a message, asking him to grasp the right measure and control the overall situation."

Himmler's tone was as gentle but indifferent as always, and the pupils behind his glasses were cunning and unpredictable. No one knew if he was calculating something in his mind.

"Well, I know."

Looking at Himmler, who was so flawless in his conduct, Lütjens could only nod silently.

He had a premonition that if things went wrong this time, it would turn out to be a shocking case...

Chapter 759: Action

The next morning, the curfew was lifted, and Frog thought that people in Berlin had also gone to work. Only then did he find a public phone in the hotel and make a public call in the name of business communication.

Even in Germany, not every household had a telephone at that time. What's more, knowing that he might be under surveillance, he still called his accomplices in the middle of the night... Wasn't he afraid that others would follow the clues and find out what happened? !

Therefore, he could only wait until after work hours to call the secret lines in the relevant business units, and then use certain commonly accepted code words to convey this information. They would then pass the news on to other people through other secret lines that were lurking and seemed to have no clear connection.

Of course, in this case, the speed of information transmission is obviously a bit slow...

It was already noon when Klaus Bonhoeffer's heart skipped a beat when he saw a pot of cactus suddenly appear next to an inconspicuous window.

A small pot of cactus can convey a lot of information at this time...

"This is... something might happen with the heavy water..."

His elder brother was the person in charge of heavy water, and his younger brother was the ace courier who went out to do things under the guise of religion! If he knew that he and his elder brother had no direct evidence, then his priest Ou Doudou would not be able to withstand investigation at all!

The underground church, being a traitor, these things had actually been on the Gestapo's blacklist for a long time. If it weren't for the German law that even if the Gestapo arrested someone, they had to go through a public trial in court before making a judgment, and if it weren't for the fact that he happened to be a big shot in the German judicial community, and if Admiral Canaris's "Abbeville" came forward and forcibly covered him up with the reason that "double espionage is what it is all about", he would have been thrown into prison and forced to sit on the tiger bench, drink pepper water, and be tortured...

Klaus Bonhoeffer suppressed his anxiety and glanced around calmly out of the corner of his eye - he didn't know if it was a psychological illusion, but he always felt that there seemed to be more people wandering around this street?

It seems that even I am in danger...

Feeling the pistol hidden on his waist - this cold piece of iron can no longer bring him more sense of security!

Klaus, who was even more anxious, covered his hat and didn't look at the cactus on the window. He rushed to his workplace in two steps. Soon, the window in his office, which had been open for ventilation, was closed from the inside.

Not long after, at the corner of the street, a courier from another line of the Bonhoeffer family who "accidentally passed by" this window also took a deep breath!

The "closed" window is undoubtedly a warning to everyone in this gang:

"The situation is critical, be careful to avoid being arrested!"

........................

The heavy water fleet did not arrive at the Kiel naval base until noon.

Under the watchful eyes of an entire squadron of German gendarmes armed with live ammunition and on high alert, two German torpedo boats escorted an armed cargo ship slowly to the dock in Kiel.

"The heavy water has arrived, let's go."

Seeing a group of people in folk costumes walking down the gangway, Frog, who had been waiting at the dock for a long time, hurriedly led people to greet them and completed the handover procedures on the spot with those who got off the ship.

Along with the discussions and notes of both parties confirming the cargo list, the armed cargo ship's crane also lifted down several large, tightly sealed iron cans from the ship one after another and placed them carefully and gently on the dock.

"There are five cans of highly concentrated heavy water, totaling 300 liters and 317 kilograms. They have been checked."

Frog signed his name on the receipt, and then took out a seal and stamped it on the signature, but his eyes scanned the surroundings very obscurely. After confirming that it was safe, he made a hidden gesture to the scientist escorting the heavy water in front of him, and asked casually, "Has there been any problems at the heavy water plant recently?"

Obviously, the escorting scientist was also a mole.

"Nothing happened? And... 'Nothing really happened recently'."

The escorted scientists understood what was meant and answered in code tacitly - this sentence meant that the resistance organization would not cause any trouble in the near future.

Frog nodded, and carefully glanced around to see if he saw anything unusual. Then he spoke again, "Pay attention to whether you have been targeted by 'enemy agents' recently. Also, be extra 'cautious'."

The traitor scientist on the opposite side was stunned when he heard this, his expression instantly became solemn, and he nodded slightly.

Even if those "evil spirits" that cannot be explained by physics really have some magic that can make them listen to others, they think that there is nothing wrong with saying these code words - including the phrase "enemy agents" in the code words, and the phrase "be careful" which specifically refers to "certain uncontrollable non-human factors".

But even so, facing those evil spirits that "cannot be explained by science", Frog feels like he is standing on the edge of an abyss, walking on thin ice, and has to be careful when sailing.

In a room on the other side of the dock, Eugen, who was holding Frog's portrait, and Top, who had put down his telescope, looked at each other and nodded.

Commander Lütjens had reported the possibility of a traitor among the scientists to Field Marshal Raeder and obtained authorization.

Now, it is possible to monitor Frog and the heavy water scientist.

After all, your heavy water escort ship is also under the jurisdiction of the navy, isn't it?

…………at the same time…………

In Berlin, on Field Marshal Tirpitz-Allee, in the German Army Intelligence Agency building (Abwehr) next to the German Wehrmacht High Command OKW, the Intelligence Agency Director Canaris, who had a long oval face under his blond side-parted hair, was sitting in his office, looking a little restless.

The differences and conflicts between the Abwehr, the military intelligence agency of the Wehrmacht, and the Gestapo of the Nazi Party's SS, have been going on for more than a day or two.

Moreover, this contradiction has even gone far beyond the scope of fighting for power and profit!

Admiral William Canaris, now 55 years old, seems to be a smooth-talking person just from the outside. But in fact, many people who are familiar with him say that he has a lot of tricks and is very unpredictable.

Although he was a naval officer, due to a series of coincidences, Canaris, who had been involved in the intelligence industry as early as 1914, was not only fluent in six foreign languages, but also had a submarine commander's certificate - although this certificate was only obtained for intelligence reasons in 1917. In addition, after the defeat of the German Second Empire, Canaris also participated in the establishment of the right-wing paramilitary organization "Free Corps" composed mainly of veterans of World War I, and was suspected of participating in the capture and killing of the then German ZUO wing leaders Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg.

In order to preserve as much naval technology as possible and to collect intelligence to facilitate the resurgence of the German army, Canaris traveled around the world in the 1920s as an arms dealer to engage in "military and technical cooperation" and other secret activities. When Hitler came to power, for some purpose, Canaris even supported the speech of "eliminating inferior races". It was also because of this that he was appointed as the director of Abbeville less than two years after Hitler came to power.

but……

"What I want is the rise of Germany - preferably a 'regime where the military has a high status'. However, if this regime must use military means to ensure the 'rise of a great power' - even if Germany wins the war, I would rather kill Hitler first!"

Seeing Hitler's military expansion and preparations for war making Germany's military stronger day by day, Canaris, who always felt that this would inevitably lead to a war with Britain and France, felt inexplicably unhappy. So, for the sake of "peace on the European continent", almost when Hitler presided over the merger of Germany and Austria and "unified the territory of the German nation", Canaris had already plunged into some anti-Russian secret organizations. He and other members of this organization even hoped that the "British and French international coalition" would use force to "change" the political situation in Germany!

Although, up to now, their "European Peace Plan" has not made any substantial progress except for providing a lot of intelligence to the "international peace-loving forces".

Even two years ago, because the Navy had raised the issue of "password security" after the Battle of Newcastle, I was suspected by the Gestapo for obstructing the replacement of the cipher machine. As a result, I have to be very careful in every move I make. Even the several "military diplomatic activities" that I had originally planned to go to Spain had to be cautious and delayed again and again...

"It's all for peace in Europe! Yes! That's it!"

Although he suffered repeated setbacks, he never repented. The haggard Canaris encouraged himself hard.

But looking at the chaotic streets outside the window, he still felt a mess.

Just last night in the middle of the night, for some unknown reason, the Gestapo suddenly started moving around like crazy - and as the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau "Abberville", he was suddenly awakened by his confidant in the early morning. Until now, he also has considerable espionage authority and intelligence network in his hands, but he still hasn't figured out what is behind these crazy activities of the Gestapo.

Although according to some clues, his position as a "pacifist", and his experience as a veteran intelligence officer, he could tell that this Gestapo action was most likely related to him. But...

Even if you know that the other party has taken action, but you don't know what they are doing, then there is no Mao Yue. But on the two core issues of what clues the other party has found and what the other party intends to do, you are completely in the dark!

Himmler is one of the absolute core members of Lacu, and as a secret police, the Gestapo is more inclined to internal counterintelligence activities - this just "restrains" the Abwehr, which is mainly engaged in foreign intelligence gathering, and himself, who is the director of the Abwehr and "will not hesitate to use 'extraordinary means' for the sake of peace"!

If you don't know what information the other party has, you have no way to respond! You must be careful when dealing with espionage. Spies who act blindly when they are blind will die the fastest!

The enemy had already started their operation for twelve hours, and they still had no reliable intelligence! Canaris was extremely anxious.

However, at this time, someone finally knocked on the office door. As a veteran intelligence officer, Canaris could tell from the unique rhythm of the knock that the person outside the door was his absolute confidant and also a member of the Anti-Rare Crisp Organization, Lieutenant General Hans Oster.

"Director, we can probably confirm that this time Himmler received information from the 'evil spirit' and is planning to uncover spies among scientists. He is almost on the verge of uncovering the Bonhoeffer family!"

Hans Oster, who was about the same age as Canaris but had wrinkles on his forehead, wiped the sweat from his forehead and closed the door of the director's office with his backhand. As soon as he closed the door, he reported to Canaris in a somewhat frustrated manner.

"What? The Bonhoeffer family has been dug up?!" Canaris turned around suddenly, his eyes wide open!

The Bonhoeffer family is an academic family that spans the German literary, historical, legal, religious and scientific research circles. From the father of the previous generation to the three brothers of this generation, they have all made extraordinary achievements in their respective fields - but more importantly, the third son of the family, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the leader of the underground church, has not been arrested by the Gestapo for his many bad deeds because he has the identity of a "registered agent" here in Abbeville!

The situation of spy activities is complicated, and some activities that may be illegal or even some measures that may "slightly damage national interests" often have immunity. However, immunity is not a so-called death-free card, not to mention, when did Himmler's Gestapo buy into his and Abwehr's accounts?

What's more, Canaris knew very well that Dietrich could not stand up to scrutiny!

The organization network behind the Bonhoeffer family is very complex. Whether in the scientific or legal circles, there are a group of accomplices who are plotting like them! And if Karl-Friedrich, the scientist boss of the Bonhoeffer family, and Klaus, the second leader of the legal guild, still lack obvious evidence of treason, then Dietrich, who organized the underground church as early as 1933, and repeatedly made trouble, and even had a direct communication channel with the British MI, would definitely be a person who would bring out the mud if he was caught! Even just based on his identity as an "Agent of Abbeville", if Himmler went crazy, even he and even the entire Abbeville might be thoroughly investigated by the Gestapo - he knew his own affairs best. Abbeville himself had been the director for seven or eight years, and there were really too many internal ghosts and "double agents" supported by the inside!

"Where is Dietrich now?!" After a moment of hesitation, Canaris immediately made up his mind to kill!

"He seems to have hidden himself, but just in case, should we...?" Seeing his boss' eyes suddenly turn cold, Lieutenant General Oster, who had worked with him in the German Military Intelligence Agency for many years, immediately understood what he meant and stretched out his hand, gesturing towards his neck.
