Chapter 496

In a luxurious bar in Canada, Griff is drinking with some senior officials. Of course, he has many ways to leave London and arrive safely in Canada to continue his business.

In recent days, he was really depressed. The German occupation of London also destroyed his painstaking spy network. Many intelligence sources were lost because of the withdrawal, which made him unable to achieve anything in Canada. Even the obvious intelligence of the British government's entry into Iceland could not be sent back to Germany in time.

British officials who were left in Canada were not successful. They were left in Canada because of their mediocrity, instead of following the king and the new prime minister to Iceland. The departments left behind in Canada are all British civil affairs personnel, as well as some marginal temporary institutions. In addition, there are some talents of science and technology system, as well as the military logistics department and so on.

So the poor submarine captain was not able to stay in Canada, but was ordered to go to Iceland to carry out the mission. Griff only had a technical officer who was familiar with him. However, it is gratifying that after being introduced and made friends, he is still familiar with some senior British officials, and can occasionally get some information that is not too confidential.

Now, for example, they are listening to the technical officer boasting about the wreckage of the German Leopard tank he saw during his inspection tour in the United States.

"The use of tilted front armor has a very good ballistic performance." "When I saw that big guy, I was a fool. He was bigger than our Matilda and had a good bulletproof appearance. He was a masterpiece of industrial production," the technical official sighed

"As for being as good as you say? It's really so good. Why don't we copy it directly? " Said old Griff, with a look of disdain.

"It's better than I said! Believe me, the Technology Department of the United States is referring to this kind of tank to produce M4 Sherman tank, which also uses inclined front armor, and its bulletproof performance is more than twice as good as m3. " The technical officers talked about the benefits of German tanks.

Obviously, the US and UK technicians have made a comprehensive analysis of the German abandoned leopard tank wreckage in North Africa, studied the armor thickness and design features, and are studying the M4 tank against leopard tank with the fastest speed.

In the past few days, all the bad news has spread to Canada. Except for the victory of Barton and Montgomery over Rommel, there are some depressing Intelligence: Germany has invaded Ukraine in the eastern front, won in the Soviet Union, and is approaching Kiev; At the same time, German strategic bombers visited Kiev, destroyed the factory facilities that the Soviets were organizing the retreat, and cut off the railway and road transportation lines.

Rommel held his ground and launched a limited counterattack. After attacking Tobruk for 30 kilometers, Rommel stopped moving forward. Although this counterattack did not cause casualties to the British and American allied forces, the defeated Rommel proved that he did not lose courage with a counterattack.

Of course, what scares the British most is the service of the latest German fighters. The fighter appeared in the sky of England, was spotted with telescopes by pre installed spies, and sent back information with conjecture. This intelligence shows that the latest German fighter may be more than 700 kilometers per hour, is an unparalleled super piston aircraft.

Therefore, the original plan of the United States to assemble bombers in the Balkans to sneak attack on Berlin is dead immediately. The relevant departments expect that the loss of this sneak attack disguised as British bombers will probably reach 90%, which is unacceptable to the US Army aviation force.

"After hearing that General Patton tested the mp-44 assault rifle, he was full of praise?" Another newcomer to this circle has a special identity. This guy, Louis, is a captain of the British intelligence department, who is responsible for managing some sabotage activities and logistics management against Germany. Unfortunately, this guy is a big mouth, who likes to boast and can't keep any secrets. The only thing that meets the requirements of the intelligence department is that he has a big mouth, This Colonel Louis is very careful and planned.

And recently, because of the shortage of manpower, he was transferred to the busy personnel department, mainly responsible for arranging the scientists and senior engineers who were evacuated from the UK to Canada. Most of these people were assigned to the factory for centralized management, so he had a free time.

"That gun is really good, but I heard that in order to adapt to the desert environment, the internal structure has been improved and the accuracy of the gun has been reduced. The range is less than 300 meters." The technical officer nodded and said, "the version used in continental Europe has an effective range of 500 meters."

"In fact, the fierce firepower of the German army is a trade-off based on the inferior range, not the use of any new technology." The technical officer took a sip of red wine and then said, "it's just that their weapon matching system is very scientific. We are learning from their experience in this respect, hoping to improve our infantry weapon system in the future."

Germany's weaponry is actually very scientific. G42 machine guns and Mauser 98K are used as supplements in the long range, and G43 semi-automatic rifles and mp-44 assault rifles are used in the medium and short range. These different types of guns enable the German army to maintain its proper firepower coverage at every stage, and strengthen the 400m combat distance that the German army attaches most importance to.

This is the reason why the British Army felt that the German soldiers had strong firepower, because they always fought with the German army at the distance that the German army liked, and it was a strange thing to be aggressive. The same counter example is that in the 1980s, the powerful Soviet Red Army was replaced with AK47 assault rifles and then used by the Afghan guerrillas with old-fashioned Lee? Enfield's rifles were heavy casualties - that's what happens when you're not good at distance. The German infantry are not omnipotent. They are just arranging their tactics reasonably. In the long distance, armored vehicles and tanks are used to make up for the embarrassment of the slight shortage of long-range firepower, while in the medium and short distance, the firepower density is used to suppress the opponent. In other words, the German army no longer emphasized the range of weapons, and they were not interested in a trench war in which they shot each other at a long distance as in the first World War. Therefore, they did not have as many guns with a range of more than 800 meters as the British and American troops. However, they used a large number of automatic weapons to seize the battlefield of about 400 meters, and gave the combat distance of 1000 meters to assault guns and armored vehicles“ It's really... There's no good way to crack it. " When Griff heard the technical officer's explanation, he held his glass for a long time. It turns out that when the head of state set up the national defense force, he put so much thought into it, which is really admirable! We have been building a new army since 1925. You want to surpass it in just two years. How can it be so easy? Thinking of this, Griff felt very proud, and the whisky in his glass became delicious. Everyone raised their glasses together, and then they touched each other gently. Different from the war-torn continent of Europe, it is safe and prosperous. It is a paradise on earth. Here seems to be able to forget the loss of their motherland, but also seems to be able to hypnotize themselves, so that they feel that everything is OK“ Have you heard of the German scientist Einstein Suddenly, Louis with big mouth seemed to think of something to boast about. He said mysteriously: "the one who put forward the theory of relativity..." "have you heard of the head of the German nominally scientific research institute. It seems that I have a good personal relationship with akkado, the German head of state. What can I do for him? " Naturally, the officer who was engaged in technology had heard of Einstein and immediately asked curiously. Griff stood aside and pricked up his ears at the same time“ We rebelled against him. In a few days, he would flee to Canada. I was ordered to arrange accommodation and work place for him, and interrogate him about German science and technology. " Louis said triumphantly: "soon, those technologies of Germany will not be secret. Compared with those soldiers on the front line, our British intelligence department is more powerful." He began to show off the action plan of assassinating the head of state akado, boasting how the long dead ghost and others were brave, how they wounded the Secretary of the head of state, the driver and the commander of the SS together - he even swore that he would send akado to the west next time, and let the third empire fall apart in despair. On the other hand, the technical officer was thoughtful. He might have conceived in his mind a document inquiring about Einstein's German technical level, including industrial production mode and some industrial processing standards. These are very important intelligence resources for a technical officer. Griff was shocked by this terrible spy plan, and he had to inform Berlin of Einstein's possible escape as soon as possible. In any case, this kind of thing must be reported to the higher authorities as soon as possible. If Einstein arrived in Canada, the United States and Britain would know a lot about German industry“ Ladies and gentlemen, I've drunk a little too much today, so I'll leave first. " Griff got up wobbly, put down the bill, joked with the bartender and left the table. Because of Griff's departure, the party dispersed, and everyone went back to their houses slightly drunk. Griff goes back to his house. The beggar squatting at the door seems to be asleep and silent. Griff nods, smiles, gives the beggar a small bill, and then walks into the room. Soon, a message that Einstein was about to be persuaded to flee by Britain was sent back to Berlin. This information scared Gaskell to death and immediately rushed to the residence of the head of state overnight.
