8 Back to Munich

''From now on onward it will only become harder Kyle, this construction project will most likely attract attention, I am only able to guarantee you to hold the military intelligence agency back a maximum of 3 years.'' Rudolf was dead serious at the moment.''sigh, I understand Rudolf, but first, we need to even find reliable people to work for us. I want you to try to get into the army recruitment program and get the qualified people to go work for me instead. Tell them they will be part of a secret organisation that is 'part' of the military or make a story up, just do something. I will go to Berlin and stay there until the construction of the outer perimeter is done. I will need to buy large quantities of weaponry, which will not be easy since we are not part of the military.'' I said with a dejected look, seeing how much work there is ahead of us.''Also, Rudolf, I have another task that is of importance. I have constructed a Pz. Kpfw that is unheard of, I need you to get the most loyal and outstanding men you have under you to move the Pz. Kpfw, in the book you read it looks mostly to the Pz.Kpfw V(Panther). Besides you, you will need 4 other men to operate it completely. The men you choose will be further trained to operate this tank, make a wise decision Rudolf. Send the tank to the construction site, it will take off-road approximately 6 hours, it will be about 200 km if trying to avoid suspicion.'' ''Rudolf, If we ever split or I am somewhere unknown, leave someone stationed in the Village we met at the location I parked the Pz. Kpfw V Ausf. X. There I will most likely go, remember that.'' I said

We shake hands, ''Kyle, there will be a very long time before we see each other again, if you ever need to contact me in Berlin find a soldier named Stefan Oberlander. He is an old friend of mine, he is reliable. I wish you the best of luck Kyle, also, when you return, I would like to know where our organisation is heading and how it will be named'' Rudolf said with a bitter smile, reluctant to return to the army barracks.''I will Rudolf, if we both succeed on each other sides we will change history, I guarantee you that. Don't forget to reduce the price a bit more at the negotiations tomorrow, I will want a full report of you and the engineer. Rudolf, we shall definitely meet 1939, also you must make that the deadline for the construction, even if it demands more capital I will most likely agree as long as it doesn't go past 4 billion RM.'' With my last instructions to Rudolf did we part ways, I went towards the train station heading towards Munich, to than the day after head towards Berlin. 'I will need some better clothing and a good house, I need to contact the Higher ups of Germany, this won't be easy in scientist clothing.' I mocked myself.

I started to head towards the train station of Kiefersfelden,' I only have 200 million Reichsmark left to spend, I must make due with this for 5 years minimum.' I enter the train and sit down in my cabin heading towards Munich,'next time I am going to travel 1st class, these small cabins are too cramped.' after approximately 2 hours did the train stop in Munich, I headed towards the hotel I stayed in last time.'Only 18:30 a tad bit early for dinner, I guess I will walk around Munich to see if there is any news.' After walking for about 45 minutes did I finally decide to sit down at a terrace, I ordered nothing fancy, just enough to have a satisfying dinner, without having to spend too much money.

But just as I was to ask for the bill a man sits in front of me, behind him are 2 figures who look like they are in their early twenties.''I have heard you are looking for talents in many fields, and only requests they work in a specialised lab.'' the man that just sat down said.

I leaned back into my chair and replied:'' That is indeed true, but that doesn't mean I accept just any random scientist or talent, give me a bit more detail, on who you are, why you are here, what you studied, what you want to achieve and of course your price.'' The man looked baffled, hoping, of course, he could just get the job, but thinking about it realistically that was never going to happen.''I am something I call an aerospace/ rocket scientist, I came to Munich to visit an old friend of mine when I overheard a Businessman is willing to fund large science projects, no matter what type. To be honest, we have been getting a lack of funding, making even accommodation hard. So when I heard about this I admit to doing research about you Mr.Kyle, but after using all my authority I could not find your name in any record. Which does make me cautious, but at the same time, it seems you are a very capable person. Oh almost forgot, my name is Wernher von Braun, I am from former Posen that is now located in Poland. I might be young Mr.Kyle, but I can assure you that I and my fellow scientists are capable people.''

I almost fell from my chair 'Well... This is unexpected... Wernher von Braun, the creator of the V-2 rocket.' but when I think about it again he is currently only 22 years old, not experienced, it will take more than 10 years or even longer for the rockets to develop, not even talking about the costs evolved, it will be very hard to fund a rocket program.''I am willing to hire you, I am currently establishing a lab underground for safety purposes, Sadly it is not available yet. I will fund your science projects, 5 million RM a year, with now 5 Million upfront. After the construction is complete I will send someone to get you and your fellow scientists. I will send a contract you have to sign later this month. I hope we have a pleasant cooperation.'' I said with a playful smile on my face to see their reaction, 'Werner Von Braun is reliable, I do not think he will run away with the money or use it for the wrong purposes.' I chuckled.

After the men left with an address I would contact did I finally stand up to walk towards the hotel,'This is going to be difficult, my financial capabilities are being reduced at an alarming rate, I need something to sell or something to gain TUs easily, yet I have neither. I will have to focus on this problem first when I get to Berlin, else I will not be able to get any other scientist on my side or even fund their projects.'

'It seems I will have to focus on gaining money first before doing anything else' With this idea I fall asleep.
