Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

Chapter 2480 You covet other people’s interest, others want it

Your principal

In March of this year, General Groves, who was in charge of the "Manhattan Project", was ordered by Roosevelt to form a crack special team composed of military, intelligence and scientific experts to carry out missions in Europe. The purpose was to transfer scientific and technological intelligence about the development of the atomic bomb.

Obtain it and bring uranium raw materials and equipment, as well as all useful scientific and technological talents back to the United States.

Groves named this team after his surname "Halsos". There are more than 100 team members, including 33 scientists alone.

Colonel Boris Pos was the commander of the detachment. He arrived in Paris on the evening of de Gaulle's entry into the city. His action against Jean-Frédéric Joliot Curie was because the French Academy had the only maneuver in Europe.

The accelerator is an important instrument used in the research and development of atomic bombs. It was once used by German scientists in the research of atomic bombs.

Groves wanted to find out through Frederick the extent of Germany's research on the atomic bomb. Based on existing intelligence analysis, Germany's research on the atomic bomb was not much slower than the United States.

Boris Bos acted quickly enough, but due to bad luck, he was defeated by Lieutenant Colonel Ronald. Then both Boris Bos and Frederick were brought back to Patton's temporary headquarters.

"You shouldn't be like this, you will definitely pay the price for your rude behavior." Boris Bos was very angry and continued to speak harshly when he was escorted into the armored vehicle.

Ronald didn't say harsh words. He hadn't yet given Heslin's autographed letter to Frederick.

"If I don't go to southern Africa, will they kidnap me like the Americans?" Frederick was in shock. The scene just now frightened him.

Americans have always had a bad reputation in France. This country of thieves, liars, and robbers is hated by most French people.

Taking into account the relationship between the United States and Britain, the French have even more reasons to hate the United States.

"Of course not. Even if you don't want to go to southern Africa, we will protect the personal safety of you and your wife." Ronald kept smiling. It doesn't matter if the Fredericks don't go to southern Africa, as long as they don't go to the United States.

Due to the relationship between Southern Africa and Free France, even if Frederick makes a breakthrough in research, relevant institutions in Southern Africa can easily obtain Frederick's research results.

What's more, Frederick had no idea about the progress of research on atomic bombs in southern Africa.

It can be seen that Frederick is very confused, but his wife is quite moved and is looking at Frederick with burning eyes.

Mrs. Frederick never wanted to experience the scene just now.

Only a strong country can allow talents like Frederick to show their talents.

Frederic's wife is the daughter of Marie Curie, and she knows very well the importance of the scientific research environment.

"Is Brian okay now?" Frederick asked suddenly.

Brian Thomson was a close friend of the Fredericks. One year before the outbreak of the world war, Brian Thomson went to Nyasaland University to teach at the University of Nyasaland through "academic exchange" and stayed in southern Africa. Now he has joined the Southern Africa

African nationality.

"Professor Thomson is very good. He is now the Dean of the School of Physics at the University of Rhodesia. As you know, the treatment given to Professor Thomson by the University of Rhodesia is better than that of the University of Nyasaland." Ronald learned in detail before.

Through Frederick's social connections, she knows Frederick as well as Frederick's wife Irena.

Irena is the daughter of Madame Curie. After Frederic married Irena, in order to commemorate the great surname "Curie", Frederic changed his surname to Curie.

In southern Africa, this matter is equivalent to Frederick's marriage.

The University of Rhodesia was founded by Stoudemire and is located in Salisbury, the capital of Rhodesia.

In terms of academic achievements, the University of Rhodesia is not as good as the University of Nyasaland, but Stoudemire has enough financial resources to provide a comfortable life for the professors at the University of Rhodesia.

As soon as Ronald finished his first sentence, Frederick knew that Thomson was doing well. After all, in southern Africa, not just any cat or dog could be a professor.

Thomson himself is also very capable. Last year, he won the Southern African "Starry Sky Award" for his major breakthroughs in physics. The "Starry Sky Award" in Europe is as famous as the Dynamite Award, and the prize money is much larger than the Dynamite Award.

"Those Americans, what is their purpose?" Frederick believed that he had not betrayed France and should not be treated like this.

"Americans, you know, they have always wanted to obtain top European high-tech talents, no matter what method -" Ronald's expression was sincere, and his words deeply moved Frederick: "-This is also me

The reason for your concern is that only in Southern Africa are you and your family safe."

"Yorio——" Irena held Frederic's hand tightly, her voice frightened and uneasy.

Frederick was lucky this time and was saved by Ronald in time.

If Frederick continues to stay in Paris, he might be kidnapped by the Americans one day, and Ronald will not be able to appear next to Frederick at any time.

"I understand, Irene, I will never put you in danger." Frederic and his wife are deeply in love, and the prospect of staying in France is indeed not good.

Boris Bos also had a bad future. After he was taken to Patton's headquarters, he was interrogated overnight by agents from Bullard's office.

There was no torture to extract confessions, and the agents in Bullard's office were quite respectful to their allies.

Of course there is a way. Boris Persia persisted for a full 36 hours and finally surrendered completely in a semi-conscious state. Only then did Ronald know that the Americans had already started taking action in the Apennine Peninsula and had already made gains.

After the Allied forces captured Rome, Boris Persia led his team to interrogate the captured Italian scientists, reviewed a large number of private letters between German and Italian scientists, analyzed all the captured files, and concluded that

It has been concluded that Germany will not be able to develop an atomic bomb before the end of next year.

This conclusion is important because it has long been recognized within the Allies that the war will end before the end of next year.

This gave Americans reassurance and also sounded a wake-up call.

It’s not that the Germans are technologically incompetent, on the contrary, the Germans’ progress on the atomic bomb is still ahead of the Americans.

The key is raw materials.

To study the atomic bomb, uranium ore is indispensable. Germany does not produce uranium ore, so all the uranium ore needed to study the atomic bomb must be imported.

Through interrogation of Italian scientists, Boris Bos confirmed that the Germans had stockpiled at least 500 tons of uranium ore, and also stockpiled a large amount of thorium ore that could replace uranium.

What embarrasses Persia is that most of the uranium ore and thorium ore hoarded by the Germans were obtained through the Americans.

Therefore, this news was strictly blocked and only Americans knew about it.

During the interrogation of Persia, Patton withstood the pressure from the US military. On the afternoon of the day when Persia was arrested, Eisenhower sent continuous telegrams to Patton. The next day, he flew directly to Paris by plane and personally

Meet Patton.

"Is there such a thing? Sorry, I'm not sure yet. I need to ask someone." Patton pretended to be stupid and refused to admit to arresting Persia.

This makes sense. After all, everyone knows that the coordination and command of the Allied forces is chaotic. The situation in Paris is not completely stable now. There are Southern African Expeditionary Forces, Free French Army soldiers, guerrillas, and some who have just ended their strike and are noisily returning to work.

railway workers, and French soldiers from France who defected before the battle.

With so many forces mixed together, Patton's reasons were reasonable. Of course, Eisenhower certainly didn't believe it.

"General Patton -" Eisenhower was corrected by Patton as soon as he started speaking.

"Call me Marshal!"

Eisenhower suddenly felt a little short of breath. The United States has no marshals, and the highest level is only a five-star general.

"Marshal Patton, with your control over the army, how could this happen? Colonel Boris Persia is very important to us. No matter what, please ensure the safety of Colonel Persia." Eisenhower did not agree.

Angry, his self-cultivation is indeed good.

Not all Allied forces had chaotic command. The Allied forces that landed at Toulon Port fought in a very orderly manner under Patton's command. Although de Gaulle had selfish motives, he did not compete with Patton for command. This is worthy of recognition.

While Eisenhower complimented Patton, he was even more worried about the safety of Colonel Boris Bos. After all, weapons and weapons were invulnerable on the battlefield. If Boris Bos died "accidentally", the loss to the United States would be too great.

"If I can find Colonel Persia, I will definitely ensure the safety of Colonel Persia." Patton didn't say anything, because Persia had not yet given an explanation.

The information provided by Persia is still very valuable. The intelligence obtained by the United States shows that in Belgium alone, the Germans have stockpiled about 100 tons of uranium ore.

More important is a list of German scientists.

Before the Halsos commandos left for Europe, Groves sent each member of the commando team a form listing the resumes, addresses and work locations of 50 famous German scientists.

All related to the development plan of the atomic bomb.

"The Americans' progress is a bit slow. Calculating the current progress, it will take at least 46 years for the Americans to successfully develop it." Ronald personally reported the results of the trial to Patton.

"Where are the rockets?" Patton was more concerned about conventional weapons. Even if the Americans had atomic bombs, they would not dare to drop them on southern Africa.

"There are no shadows, but the Americans have obtained some rocket launcher technology from Russia. Of course, these technologies are not important. After all, the Russians have not fully mastered rocket technology." Ronald looked proud, talking about rocket technology, Southern Africa

That's the first one.

That's why Rock dared to say that if German scientists cannot be brought to southern Africa, then at least the Americans must not be able to get them.

The German rockets can now only be used to attack London, and they are still inaccurate, with a hit rate of less than 50%.

The hit rate here does not refer to accurately hitting a certain building, but refers to falling within London.

The urban area of ​​London is very large, but the hit rate of German rockets is less than 50%. It can be seen that the German rocket technology is not very good either.

If the Southern African rocket is launched from London, it can at least be guaranteed to land within the city limits of Paris.

With the results of Persia's interrogation, Barton finally felt relieved and waved his hand to let Ronald do what he wanted.

"Should we release that American?" Ronald hesitated slightly. In fact, it would be better to kill this kind of person.

"What are you thinking about? Of course you have to let it go and apologize to others properly -" Barton is a shameless person and will definitely not do such a thing.

Ronald could do it. After reporting to Barton, he turned around and woke up Persia, who had just fallen asleep.

The agents in Brad's office used fatigue interrogation to completely break Persia. After the interrogation, Persia fell asleep directly in the interrogation room.

Ronald ignored him and ordered someone to wake up Persia directly. Persia was very angry and glared at Ronald, but said nothing.

What can you do if you are angry? Even if you scold Ronald, it will not change Persia's situation.

Persia still doesn't know that he has explained everything he knows. He is in a semi-conscious state and cannot control it.

"I'm sorry, this was a misunderstanding. Now the problem has been resolved, you can go-" Ronald's apology was dry and without any guilt.

Persia said nothing and did not inquire about Frederick's whereabouts. His mission had completely failed.

The most important thing for such a secret mission is to not attract attention. Once it attracts the attention of southern Africa, the Persian team will have no way to hide.

Compared to the United States, Europe is a complete away game. The relationship between Southern Africa and European countries is much better than the relationship between the United States and European countries. If the Southern African Expeditionary Force also looks for people according to the list, there is no need to use such violence as "kidnapping".

The way.

Even German scientists would probably not refuse invitations from southern Africa.

After all, if it stays with the Germans, it will fall into the hands of the Russians.

If you think about it this way, you might as well go to southern Africa.

Outside the command post, a car sent by Eisenhower was waiting. After receiving it from Persia, the car sped all the way and drove directly to the U.S. Embassy in Paris.

Eisenhower was not in the embassy, ​​so he went to the Elysée Palace to meet de Gaulle. Eisenhower hoped to gain command of the Free French Army.

No matter how miserable the Free French Army is, it is still much better than the British and Indian forces.

"Of course, the Free French Army will definitely obey the command of the Allied High Command, but I have a question. Since Operation Overlord and Operation Dragoon have been successful, is it necessary for the Operation Overlord Command to exist?" De Gaulle asked Essen

Howell's biggest concern.

The Allies had only one North Africa command before, with Patton serving as commander-in-chief.

In order to command "Operation Overlord", Winston and Roosevelt decided to establish an operations headquarters in London. Since more U.S. troops participated in "Operation Overlord", Eisenhower served as the commander-in-chief.

Eisenhower never expected that he only wanted the command of the Free French Army, but de Gaulle directly targeted Eisenhower's source of power.
