Bismarck

Bismarck was filled with hatred when he thought of the "radar-guided anti-aircraft gun that had been sent to Britain" that these people mentioned.

She didn't know what the radar-guided anti-aircraft gun was, but in later generations, she had heard of the so-called "close-in defense gun capable of intercepting missiles" - in her mind, it must be something like this, right?

If you think about it...

Now that anti-ship missiles have appeared, future security may be a big problem! However, if something that can be intercepted by missiles can intercept ordinary aircraft...

Well, now that I am a battle-hardened Persian cat, I can tell that the missile is very small, so the effective range of the missile interceptor is very short. The key is that the rate of fire, firepower density and accuracy must be met at the same time. Referring to the armor-piercing warhead of the anti-ship model of the V1 cruise missile, in order to break through the solid head of the armor-piercing warhead, it is estimated that the ammunition must be mainly ***. As for the range, theoretically, it cannot reach those aircraft...

Whether it was a torpedo plane or a dive bomber, effective interception firepower had to be organized at least four kilometers away. As for missiles, it would be good if they could intercept them at four hundred meters!

When Bismarck first came out, she also received various military theory trainings supervised by Lütjens himself, and later discussed these with Zeppelin - including the arrangement theory and attack mode of air raids, as well as the basic principles of anti-aircraft shooting. Not to mention, under the cruel war, Bismarck, who was originally a girl and still looks like a girl, can already be regarded as a veteran with rich practical experience.

But... missiles are too threatening. If I hadn't heard about this, I would have really forgotten about getting the close-in defense gun! No, I have to find Zeppelin and Grapes and ask them to help me get it done!

Six-barreled Gatling gun + stable base + radar guidance + *** and other equipment, as well as fire control calculations, we have to hurry up and integrate them!

And consider the size and speed of the missile... maybe this thing needs to be connected to the battleship's air-to-air fire control system?

Bismarck even had the urge to replace his bulky mechanical computers with electronic ones - after all, it was Conrad Zuse who recommended him, so the Navy could still make this request!

Although, she remembered that she had mentioned it a long time ago...

Just when Bismarck began to lose focus as usual, the shocked and angry Lütjens had already grabbed the intercom and started making an emergency call to Himmler.

Although it was the middle of the night, the matter was urgent - the graphite ordered was only a dozen or twenty tons, and if they really wanted to adulterate it with impurities, it would be done very quickly! If we wanted to catch the perpetrators red-handed, we had to hurry...

The call was connected, and Lütjens quickly said, "Your Excellency the Minister of the Interior (Himmler's government position)? I'm sorry to call you at this time, but I just received information about Siemens sabotaging nuclear research..."

Even Lütjens had some sweat on his forehead. After all, he was targeting the giant Siemens.

This is truly shocking news!

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

The gate of the Czech Plania Factory (***nia ***nt) was tightly closed at night. In the electrolysis workshop inside the factory, the "workers" were busy, and now they were carrying out the "overnight production" of high-purity graphite under the command of several foremen.

Even amidst the huge roar of the equipment starting up, there seemed to be a few sounds like firecrackers exploding... ?

Beside the huge electrolytic smelting furnace, a group of sweaty people were operating a crane to lower the heavy crucibles filled with electrolytic graphite. Beside the heavy crucibles that were still emitting distorted air and scorching heat, there were several empty iron barrels painted in a striking bright yellow with skulls and heavy metal toxic substances on them...

Obviously, the stuff in here had been poured into the smelting furnace by them, contaminating the purity of the produced graphite.

A man who looked like a tester put down the testing equipment and reported the readings of the testing equipment to his smiling accomplices around him - obviously, due to their deliberate manipulation, the quality of this batch of high-purity graphite was "again" unqualified.

Under precise operation, even the content and types of impurities inside are almost the same as those provided before - even the data of several batches of products provided two years ago! If checked from a normal angle, it can be completely evaded!

Even the fraud seemed flawless, which showed a top-notch professional level even in defrauding the country!

"Very good, we will ship this batch of products in two days to fend off Lütjens! I believe that those fools who only know how to fight on the battlefield will have nothing to say about this result." A leading guy said with a Polish accent, raising his head and looking complacent. His remarks also caused laughter among the people around him.

Just amidst the noise, a loud roar broke their complacent atmosphere.

"Prevarication? Very good - catch them! Don't let any of them go!!"

A shrill voice suddenly sounded at the gate. Before the group of people could react, the Gestapo and gendarmerie commandos dressed in black, armed with silenced pistols and submachine guns, rushed in from all directions.

There was a noise of fighting in the workshop, but after a burst of submachine gun fire, except for a few scoldings, it soon returned to calm. Not long after, one after another, people in work clothes, with their hands handcuffed behind their backs, were escorted out by the Gestapo and military police while cursing.

In the administrative building on the other side of the factory, several executives were also pulled out by the commandos who appeared out of nowhere. In and outside the corridor, there were several bodies wearing Siemens security uniforms, holding pistols and batons.

"Stop it! I'm Erich Hoehne, the factory director appointed by Siemens. We are a legal enterprise, the largest electrolytic smelting company in the world! You Gestapo, what on earth are you trying to do by attacking our company?!"

Among the executives who were caught, a guy who claimed to be the factory director stood up. He glared at the Gestapo around him, put on the face of a legitimate entrepreneur, and even tried to protest against the "lawless spies" around him.

However, the answer he got was a cold snort from the military police beside him, who raised his hand and shot with the butt of his rifle...

"Shut up, what the hell!"

Looking at the factory director who was knocked to the ground, blood oozing from his forehead, and groaning while holding his head, a Gestapo chief holding a silenced pistol spat at him with disdain: "Don't think that no one knows what you have done! The fact that your Siemens company mixed impurities into graphite has been reported to the Führer! There is nothing to say to you traitors, take them all away!"

Hearing this, the factory director showed a horrified expression. Why did the Gestapo know about this? !

Hearing the leader's order, two gendarmes stood up and dragged the factory director by his feet, dragging him out like a dead pig. Seeing the factory director's fate after being attacked by the soldiers, the other male and female executives looked at each other, raised their hands without saying a word, and followed him out obediently under the gunpoint of the Gestapo and the gendarmes.

Watching this group of people being escorted out and dragged onto the prison van, the leader shouted a few times to the other group of Gestapo who were sealing up the scene and cleaning up the materials, and then followed them out. When he reached the door, the leader, who couldn't resist the urge to smoke, opened his cigarette box, took a cigarette, took a deep puff, and turned to look in the direction of Berlin as if he had some feeling.

It is said that this operation was arranged by Himmler himself who called his immediate superior in the middle of the night. So, at this moment, the headquarters of Siemens in Berlin must have been searched, right?

The once-powerful Siemens family is probably finished with this...

Even the Gestapo, with a heart of stone, couldn't help but feel a little emotional when he thought about the fact that a big company that was well-known in Germany had met with such trouble.

"Tsk, why do I think so much about things that I shouldn't care about?"

Shaking his head, the Gestapo chief smiled self-deprecatingly, got into his car, and drove away behind the prison van.

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

"What?! Really?!"

"Siemens, from top to bottom, is adulterating the production of graphite for nuclear reactors? And they have been caught red-handed?!"

"You're still asking me what to do? Investigate! Doesn't matter if it's Siemens or anyone else, investigate it thoroughly!"

In the Chancellery, the furious Hitler opened his red eyes and roared into the phone with gritted teeth.

Hitler now seemed like a wolf king who had been betrayed by the wolf pack, with a murderous look in his eyes, ready to devour anyone he could!

As an extreme nationalist, Hitler could tolerate his country's enterprises failing to produce qualified products due to technological bottlenecks for a certain period of time, but he absolutely could not tolerate them colluding with each other from beginning to end to cause trouble.

He is also suspected of betraying his country and being a traitor!

Although he didn't understand what the nuclear industry was, he could tell it was very powerful, and it was even a super weapon that could change the strategic situation on its own! But you guys are so ignorant of this powerful thing, and you're actually eating your own ass and slacking off!

In the eyes of Hitler, who was born in the lower class of society and knew that "people paid too much and got too little" in World War I, this was simply a bastard! And like the Jews who "betrayed the country, sold out the people, made money from the national disaster, lent money at high interest rates, and claimed that they were God's chosen people and were superior to others in every way", they were all bastards who deserved to be sent to the live smoking workshop of the Auschwitz meat processing factory!

"...If the German nation wants to rise, it must completely unite the power of the entire nation! But...I understand! If a nation cannot stand up, it must be because there are too many bastards who are greedy and hold it back!"

Although he hated the Communist Party, Hitler now began to seriously consider whether he should follow the same path as Stalin, the bearded man, had carried out in the Great Purge...

(PS: The origin of the mustache attitude here is the 25-point platform of the Nazi Party and the mumbling in the doomsday bunker.)

Chapter 774: Junker

"Bismarck, you did a great job this time! You've taken down Siemens!"

Zeppelin, who had always been aloof and had mastered the art of being "unhappy", now looked "stupid", smiling with his teeth bared, and approached Bismarck like a "sister", hugged the Persian cat's shoulders, and even gently bit Bismarck's ear. What's more important was that Zeppelin's proud breasts had pressed against her arm, and the soft feeling made her feel embarrassed, and her face turned red.

"Yeah." She said with her head down, not daring to look at her arms.

"These traitors who sell out their country for personal gain should have been arrested long ago!"

It can be seen that Zeppelin has a lot of resentment towards Siemens' behavior.

"Hey, hey, hey, Zeppelin, stop dragging me...the boat is capsizing!"

The battleship cat was dragged backwards involuntarily by the 200,000 horsepower, with a look of horror on its face. It finally managed to steady its body and avoid capsizing due to loss of balance.

God knows why an aircraft carrier needs 200,000 horsepower, while my battleship only has a few hundred thousand.

"You almost fell, Zeppelin, why don't you let go! And you, Grape! Are you my sister? Come and help pull her apart!"

Bismarck, who couldn't get rid of the Zeppelin-brand sticky candy that was stuck to his body, quickly called for reinforcements from the other corner.

In the corner, a little hamster was lying with a cushion on its chest, silently looking at its sister who was in a stalemate with its hands on its cheeks. A strand of hair on its head was mischievously raised, swaying back and forth in unison with her two feet. And it seemed that she was already thinking about how to frame, how to compose, how to split the shots, how to color...

In short, based on Bismarck's understanding of his sister, what a certain dirty northern otaku is thinking about at this moment is most likely something very rude.

"Zeppelin, wait a minute, come down first!" Seeing that this girl not only did not come to help, but also had a look of imagination, Bismarck, who was a little angry, decided to sell his sister decisively: "Come down, come down, look at Grape, is she thinking of something rude again?"

"Huh?" Zeppelin, who was lying on Bismarck's back with his hands tightly around his shoulders, was stunned for a moment. Then he looked at himself, who was clinging to Bismarck's back and biting his ear, looking like a woman who was not allowed to be intimate with each other. His face turned red and he loosened his hand.

Bismarck finally escaped from the "magic hoop" of the Edelweiss Witch. The first thing he did after escaping was to stare at the little hamster who was pretending to be stupid in the corner.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Tizi quickly climbed up from the mat and tried to change the subject: "Hey, sister, I just suddenly thought of an experiment with an electronic device..."

"I haven't asked you yet, why are you confessing so much?!" Looking at the hamster leaning against the wall with a frightened face, Bismarck clenched his fists viciously and grabbed a pillow as if he was going to smash it.

"Zeppelin, help me!" Seeing her sister grabbing a pillow to hit her, Grape, who failed to get away with it, tried to ask for help.

"I won't help. Looking at the way you looked just now, I knew you wanted to draw again!" Qi Bolin glanced at Ti Zi unhappily.

"Ah... Zeppelin, how could you do this... Ouch! Sister, stop knocking, I was wrong, it's okay if I'm wrong..."

"See if you dare to do it again next time."

Looking at the three ship girls fighting and playing in the corner, the three men looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

This is too frivolous...

Moreover……

"Speaking of which, after Siemens is dealt with this time, the relevant factories will definitely be taken over and managed by people sent by the Imperial Marshal. In this way, the source of raw materials for the nuclear industry should be able to improve a little, right?"

Lindemann is still somewhat optimistic as always.

“Not necessarily…” The mature Bangtai sighed, “Although I have only been back for a short time, judging from the situation in the past few days, if those companies are deliberately trying to sabotage us, then if we accept the factory, they will definitely not be happy…”

"what do you mean……"

Looking at Lindeman, who had stopped smiling, Bangtai's eyes became serious. "Don't forget, a lot of our industrial production is actually ordered from them. Besides, you should know that these people started out in the military industry..."

"The Junkers and the Junkers... that's true." Lindemann also twisted his chin. Although the German Navy was founded in the late 19th century, it has not been infiltrated by the Junkers, who are based on the army and military industry. However, Lindemann, a major general, is fully aware of the subtexts here: "In other words, 'the trouble is outside the court'?"

"Those troubles caused by non-cooperation are probably just minor matters..." Bangtai said worriedly, while silently looking at Lütjens who was standing in front of the window, staring blankly at the gloomy and rainy outside...

"Given the moral integrity of these people, I'm afraid they will resort to some despicable means... I just hope that the situation won't get worse..."

Lindemann looked at Bonte, then at Lütjens, opened his mouth, but in the end he could only remain helpless and silent.

-

The search of Siemens, a long-established German industrial Junker conglomerate, by the Gestapo caused a furor that is far from over.

Although the third generation of Siemens was very shrewd and gave all the instructions verbally so there was no direct evidence of his guilt, and as a veteran Junker chaebol with good connections, he also received support from a large number of other Junker chaebols including Krupp.

After all, Hitler's actions to forcibly unify Germany's power for the sake of war - whether it was bringing the industrial economy under the unified management of Speer's economic department, or putting taxes on these financial tycoons for the benefit of the people (regardless of the purpose), had actually offended these Junkers...

Moreover, for some reason, many lawyers also rushed over at this time, using their eloquence in the courtroom to try their best to defend Siemens. Even the judge who claimed to be fair and impartial was a bit biased during the trial...

In the face of such momentum, even the authority of the mustache could not withstand the pressure of almost the entire Junkers to "vouch for it". The final result of the trial was that all the senior executives of the Siemens Group, from the third generation Siemens patriarch down, were released. The only ones who were actually found guilty were the director of the Czech electrolysis plant and those "Polish resistance organizations".

Although Hitler and others were helpless about this, they were also very dissatisfied, and even had some I'M ANGRY...

Outside the court, the released third-generation Siemens was also holding his own "Salon of Noble People".

Under pressure from Hitler, Goering, Himmler and other bigwigs, as well as the importance of the nuclear industry, not only was Siemens forced to "transfer free of charge" the Czech electrolysis plant, one of the largest in the world, to the "Hermann Goering Group" under Goering (the company in charge of Nazi Germany's party assets and state-owned enterprises), but even IG Farben, which had nothing to do with the incident, had to reluctantly hand over its heavy water technology and the management rights of the Norwegian hydropower station in the face of the trend of "nuclear industry integration" that had become a foregone conclusion. Then it watched as the Leuna company, which it had never taken seriously, took Goering's license and contract, managed the Norwegian hydropower station in one hand and built a domestic distillation tower in the other, and made a lot of money.

"Damn Hitler, he is making up excuses to embezzle our legal assets!"

The third generation of Siemens and the chairman of IG Farben cursed in unison, and next to them were several heads of large chaebols, who also had gloomy faces and nodded silently.

I don’t know whether I agree with you or if I think it’s a bit of a waste of time…

Moreover, they were full of anger and had a strong desire for revenge!

------

At the Abbeville headquarters, Lieutenant General Hans Oster, who had hurried back from southern Germany after a "business trip", pushed open the door of the director's office.

Then there was a pause...

Director Canaris was chatting and laughing with the guests - in front of him sat a man in his forties, wearing a suit, slicked back hair, round glasses, and a resolute expression.

Moreover, not only did he know this person, but at this moment in front of him, Oster had some complicated feelings - although the old spy chief's ability to conceal his mentality and emotions had long been perfect...

"It's Donani,... are you here too?"

"Yes, I just finished the Siemens case...By the way, how is Dietrich now?"

The man called Donani looked at Oster and asked without hesitation.

"Um... unfortunately, he planned to sneak out of the country to Switzerland by climbing on a train, but was beaten into a canyon by the Gestapo and the gendarmerie at the last minute... May God bless his pious and kind soul, Amen!"

Oster lowered his head and silently made the sign of the cross on his chest.

Lawyer Hans Von Dohnanyi, the right-hand man of the German Minister of Justice and the son-in-law of the previous head of the Bonhoeffer family, is, like Klaus Bonhoeffer, an important figure in the German legal community.

Moreover, as the son-in-law of the Bonhoeffer family, he had a good relationship with both Bonhoeffer brothers.

Therefore, even though Oster had trained himself to be thick-skinned and could do whatever he wanted, it still felt a bit strange to bring up the fact that Dietrich Bonhoeffer "would never speak again" in front of him.

"Oh... I understand..." Upon hearing the bad news, Donani lowered his head and silently made the sign of the cross on his chest.

However, after a moment of silence for his comrade and brother-in-law, Donani raised his head and his eyes were resolute again: "Forget it, let's continue talking about our business... Hitler is so cruel that he doesn't even want any evidence and is forcing 'legal' entrepreneurs to hand over their companies. If he continues like this, who knows what he will do!"
