Battle of the Third Reich

The German Gendarmerie is very polite, and it is extremely rare in this year. This group of chain dogs with badges has always been known for their brutal cold blood. . The fastest update

The Soviet Union also showed surprising cooperation, perhaps because of the endorsement of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, everyone obediently handed over the camera and film, and then accepted the Gendarmerie's friendly cross-examination.

Immediately, the Soviets realized that the Germans' problems were all around the shooting range that passed midway. It seems that the pile of chariots hidden in the grass is their focus.

After being affirmed by his subordinates, Molotov's attitude also became tougher. As long as the Germans could not get the Soviet journalist to spy on the confidential evidence, then he was already invincible in this matter.

And maybe he could use this incident as an opportunity to initiate a tentative attack on the German who is diplomatic. This is Molotov’s most popular trick in his diplomatic career, as long as the minister seizes the advantage. The handle will be followed by a series of stormy punches. At that time, even the most powerful opponents will soon lose their helmets and give up their armor under the amazing eloquence and cheeky face of the Soviet Foreign Minister.

"The driver has admitted that he took you to the storage area in the south. Although it is not a prohibited place, the whole area is not allowed to take pictures. If we find relevant photos on the film, we regret to say that we must Confiscation," said a captain of the military police, shaking the aluminum tube with the film in his hand.

The design of the film in the 1940s was not much different from that of later generations. At that time, color film was also invented, but it was a little expensive because of craftsmanship and materials. Countries around the world have begun to use color film to shoot news documentaries, but for cost considerations, when making copies for theater playback, they use relatively cheap black and white film. As a result, they are often retained in wars and other reasons. Only black and white copies remain.

The Soviets used expensive color film, or a product of Agfa in Germany. Compared with ordinary black and white film, color film is more suitable for reproducing the real scene. In order to protect these expensive films, the German production plant equipped each film with an aluminum storage tube. In the future, this was replaced by cheap plastic products, but under the technological conditions at the time, this aluminum film box was the most lightweight. Sealed container.

In the real history, with the continuation of the war, the use of metal raw materials in Germany has been strictly regulated. Agfa Corporation reluctantly began to use black bakelite as an alternative material to manufacture film storage boxes.

The aluminum tube that stores ordinary 135 film (refers to a film thickness of 0.135 mm) is almost as long as the thumb of an adult, and the diameter is slightly thicker than the thumb. The surface is processed into a matte color to prevent film removal. When fingers slip.

Almost every "Soviet journalist" carries a camera, and some even bring one more as a spare. At least 80% of these cameras are original German goods, and the rest are produced by French and British companies. In terms of optical equipment and precision machinery manufacturing, the Soviet Union’s technical strength was still quite weak at that time. Although the country could manufacture cameras, they were rough imitations of German Zeiss, Contax and Leica, which were brought out in front of the Germans. Will only laugh at you generously.

They also carry a lot of film, and each person has as many as six or seven tubes, which is in line with their status as "journalists". The Germans took all the film, including some unopened, and they told the Soviets that they would develop all the films as soon as possible, and then pick out the less sensitive negatives and photos and return them to the Soviets.

Kettle assured Molotov that the Germans did not have the idea of ​​detaining these "Soviet journalists" and that their bodies were completely free, except that these people must stay in the Soviet consulate in Berlin before the results of the investigation were released. Going out.

This is equivalent to house arrest in disguise, but Molotov knows that the Germans have given him enough face, which is a rare and generous treatment compared with the simple and rough style of the Nazis.

Although Molotov likes to be unreasonable, but he also knows that it is not a random episode, only after he has figured out the true idea of ​​the German head of state, he can decide what attitude and means to come to Whether to affirm or revenge the apostle of God, the choice now is not in his hands.

Right behind Molotov, Dekanozov made a secret gesture to Merkulov, indicating that everything is under control, and don’t worry about what will happen. It was found that the agents had already disposed all their hands and tails. The director of the National Security Bureau always mentioned the heart of his throat, and finally returned to the original place.

The Germans found nothing, and they immediately released the police. The military police left quickly in their own vehicles, leaving only the visitors and receptionists at the scene.

The so-called thunder and heavy rains seem to be like this. The expressions of Kettle and the headquarters officers have become a little embarrassed. Compared with these Germans, the Soviets have shown a lot of energy. They look Going up was completely unaffected by the incident he had just picked up, and some even picked up the glass and in turn comforted the German master.

So with the help of alcohol, the two sides soon forgot the unpleasant things that happened just now. The host and the host celebrated with a toast to drink for the friendship between the two countries.

After being satiated, the Soviets took a limousine arranged for them by the Germans and happily returned to Berlin with a pile of gifts, at least on the surface it felt like this.

"Calling back the head of state, the plan is proceeding smoothly and I am sure that the initial results will be seen soon." Looking at the convoy of the Soviet delegation away, Kettle told the adjutant beside him: "The Soviets have already With the "gift" we gave them, the "fluffy bear" plan can enter the second stage.".

"The head of state will be very happy after seeing this news. Your Excellency, your performance today is perfect. Even the people who have known it for a long time can't see any doubts." The adjutant wrote down the marshal's words on the notebook and laughed. Complimentary.

"The Soviets are not as stupid as you think, Molotov is not easy to fool, they will start to feel suspicious when they go back. All we have to do is to provide them with all kinds of "evidence", to dispel their doubts, let They were convinced of what we showed them." Kettle played the marshal's stick slightly and played a small stick.

"General, I don't quite understand the intention of the head of state to formulate the "fluffy bear" plan. Why should the Soviets be shown these false things? I can't see what role this will play in future wars.

On the contrary, I feel that showing the counterfeit data to the other party will make the Soviet Union more vigilant about the Third Reich. If they really believed the data that they saw for them today, they would definitely stimulate the nerves of the Soviet military. "An army lieutenant asked Yoder who was sitting next to him with a puzzled expression on his face.

The lieutenant colonel was transferred to the headquarters combat bureau last month, but it was only until last night that he learned of the existence of a "fluffy bear" plan. Today, when he came to the Kummersdorf proving ground, it was purely Yoder Dragged out to support the scene as long-term workers.

"You mean those steel targets? This is not something you should be concerned about, Mr. von Tilhausen, and I want to warn you that the plan made by the head of state is not qualified for you to comment on. At the same time I urge you not to doubt the judgment of His Excellency the Head of State. What you see today is just a sharp corner of the entire huge plan. Except for the head of state and Field Marshal Kettle, only a few people in the command headquarters know the whole picture of the whole plan.

So don’t try to test me in this way, Mr. von Tilhausen, if I haven’t read your files in person, I believe that your loyalty to the Third Reich is based on what you said just now. You get a harsh punishment. "Yordel said with his arms folded, looking out the window.

"I'm sorry, General, you know I'm just curious." Von Tiehausen quickly explained.

"Then put your curiosity elsewhere, Lieutenant Colonel, this is good for you." Yodel closed his eyes and ended the topic.
