Chapter 343 Weeding Plan (1)
After hearing the news of Marshal Mannerheim's death, Yannick hadn't had time to be happy for two minutes. Another thing reported by Reinhard made his face change. "What?! Dr. Albert is going to the United States? Why?!"
"He said he was going to meet some friends."
Yannick was speechless. He invited me so warmly at the beginning, but this old man is trying to trick him now? It's a serious waste of my feelings! "Let him die!"
"..." Reinhard didn't understand what His Highness meant by this sentence for a while. Did he really want Dr. Albert to die or was it just a rant.
But Yannick was obviously not rant. "Since he doesn't want to work for Germany, should he go to other countries to deal with Germany?" Even if he went to Ming Dynasty, he had to go to the United States. After you go to the United States, you will suggest that dead cripple Roosevelt to make an atomic egg, and then the United States will start the Manhattan Project.
In the original time and space, the United States took only three years to create the world's first atomic egg after launching the Manhattan Project. That was because it gathered the best nuclear scientists in Western countries (except Germany) at that time and mobilized more than 100,000 people to participate in this project.
But in this time and space, because of the existence of Yannick, not only those scientists, but also many American scientists and talents were "abducted" to Germany to work for Germany.
As for those American scientists and talents who were unwilling to come to Germany... If there was a black, white, yellow and blue book about "assassination", Yannick would definitely be at the top of the list.
Over the years, under the direct instructions of Yannick, German intelligence agencies have carried out hundreds of assassinations called "Weeding Plan" in the United States alone.
Car accidents, fires, home robberies and murders, drug overdose deaths, school shootings, suicides, gas poisoning, falling from buildings, lying on the tracks... German intelligence agency personnel almost racked their brains to demonstrate all the ways of death they could think of.
Julius Robert Oppenheimer; American Jewish physicist and leader of the Manhattan Project. In the 43rd year of the original time and space, Oppenheimer founded the Los Alamos National Laboratory in the United States and served as its director; in the 45th year, he led the creation of the world's first atomic egg and was hailed as the "Father of the Atomic Egg".
In the 36th year of this time and space, Oppenheimer pursued a female student named Jane Tetlock who was studying neurology and was a member of the Communist Party of the United States. Not long after, Oppenheimer and the female student were hacked to death in a small hotel. Various insulting sentences about the Communist Party of the United States were painted on the wall with bright red blood.
The local police never solved the case, and in the end they could only hastily attribute it to some lunatics who hated the Communist Party of the United States.
Ernest Lawrence; a famous American physicist, designed and manufactured the first high-energy particle cyclotron accelerator in the 32nd year of the original time and space, and won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 39. Participated in the Manhattan Project and was in charge of the electromagnetic separation of uranium-235 used to make atomic eggs. In addition, he invented a color cathode ray tube and obtained a patent. Due to Lawrence's outstanding contribution, the 103rd element of the periodic table, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, are named in his honor.
However, in the 31st year of this time and space, a fire engulfed Lawrence's laboratory, and Lawrence and his students Edelson and Livingston were buried in the sea of fire.
After investigation, the fire department concluded that the fire was caused by an explosion caused by a hydrogen leak in the laboratory next door.
Leslie Richard Groves, Lieutenant General of the United States.
During World War II in the original time and space, he served as Deputy Secretary of the Construction Department of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Commander of the Manhattan Engineering District responsible for the development of atomic eggs in the United States.
While the Manhattan Engineering District took over the security work, a special counterintelligence group was also established. By the autumn of 1943, this intelligence group was responsible for receiving all intelligence on atomic energy collected by the Army Intelligence Department, the Navy Intelligence Department and the Strategic Intelligence Office. Groves took on this "extra responsibility".
Throughout the Manhattan Project, German scientific developments were generally valued. Therefore, the main task of Groves' intelligence work was to find out as soon as possible what the Germans could achieve if they went all out to produce atomic weapons. Among the Axis powers, they ruled out the possibility of Japan's atomic industry being established. Groves' intelligence team speculated that only the Germans were interested in atomic energy. Because, before the war, Norway had built the Vemork Hydroelectric and Chemical Joint Plant in Riukan, 75 miles west of Oslo. After Germany occupied Norway in 1940, it asked the person in charge of the Riukan plant to sign a contract with them to produce heavy water for them, and then transport it to Berlin for the development of atomic eggs. Groves had suggested and urged the bombing or destruction of the Riukan plant.
In February 1943, Nuthoekrid and three other Norwegians who had received special training in sabotage technology, dressed in British uniforms, parachuted into Norway, and joined the local guerrillas. After about a week of hard cross-country skiing, they arrived in Riukan and attacked the Vemork Joint Plant on February 28, 1943.
However, more than five months later, these factories resumed operation. Groves suggested that this target be bombed from the air. On November 16, 1944, 140 American bombers carried out a large-scale air raid in broad daylight, causing Germany to abandon its plan to repair the factory and transport all the heavy water production equipment and heavy water to Berlin. At the end of January 1944, during the transportation of heavy water production equipment and heavy water, the Norwegian guerrillas sniped along the way and successfully destroyed many equipment. With the secret help of the engineers of the United Factory, Haukelid's resistance group sank the ferry carrying most of the heavy water to the bottom of the sea, destroying all hopes of Germany to continue atomic energy testing.
At the same time, Groves advocated taking advantage of the favorable conditions of the US military landing on the Italian peninsula, the Normandy landing and the advance into Germany to open up intelligence sources; using the scientific intelligence team "Alsos" sent to Italy by the Army Intelligence Department to obtain intelligence, destroy laboratories and factories, and occupy scientific researchers.
In January 1945, Groves sent Major Herrera Calvert to the Manhattan Liaison Office in London to use the intelligence networks of the United States and Britain to collect all the information about the various works carried out by European countries, especially the Germans, in the field of atomic energy, so that all the names of German scientists were included in the reconnaissance list of the US and British intelligence agencies without any omissions; at the same time, the locations of relevant laboratories, factories and warehouses were also registered one by one. By the end of 1944, all intelligence proved that Germany's work on the development of atomic eggs was still in the experimental stage. At this point, Groves concluded that the possibility of any sudden nuclear attack from Germany was almost impossible.
At this time, Groves was studying at the US Army Command and General Staff College in Fort Leavenworth from 1935 to 1936. Once, when he was walking home through an alley, he was hit on the top of his head by a brick that fell from the roof of the building next to him, and he died on the spot.
Because the neighbors testified that the old building often had bricks and tiles falling off and the walls falling off, the police attributed it to an accident and asked someone to demolish the uninhabited old building.
