"Professor Yoshio Nishina doesn't know about this issue either, but it is theoretically possible to make such a bomb, and the biggest technical difficulty, Professor Nishina believes, is the separation of the isotope of uranium - uranium-235, as far as he knows China People have made great achievements in this regard, they have a huge isotope separation factory! Professor Nishina estimates that this factory can produce at least 100 kilograms of uranium-90 with an abundance of more than 235% every year, that is, it can produce a A uranium bomb with an explosive yield of 10 tons of TNT! It is enough to destroy the entire Tokyo."
"That's nothing! If the Chinese can make this kind of bomb, then there's no reason why the empire can't make it, right? The uranium ore empire also has a lot of reserves, and it should be able to make a few of these bombs!" Ugaki Kazunari looked at Yasuda solemnly, "The Chinese people have a U project committee, and we will also set up a uranium committee, and you, Takeo Yasuda, will be in charge. We will try to manufacture a uranium bomb within six months. Can it be done?"
6 months?Takeo Yasuda smiled wryly and shook his head. Just as he was about to say it was impossible, Hideki Tojo jumped ahead of him and said, "The Empire can cooperate with Britain and France to develop a uranium bomb! If Britain, France and the Empire cooperate, it will take 6 months to a year to produce a bomb." This kind of bomb should be possible, and then we won’t have to be afraid of China!”
"But what if Britain and France don't agree to cooperate with us?" Takeo Yasuda frowned tightly. After Professor Meitner announced her discovery, any equipment that might be used to separate isotopes has become an absolute ban on export by all countries. Products of!Unless it is an ally with a very solid relationship, it is impossible to share this secret weapon.
"Then we will form an alliance with China! In any case, it is better to be on the side of the winner than on the side of the loser!" Nagata Tieshan roared through gritted teeth.
……
Kurchatov's journey to Moscow was much smoother than expected. Maybe it was the negligence of the Kuomintang secret agents, or maybe the Kuomintang didn't care about letting Stalin know that there was such a terrible weapon as the atomic bomb-what can he do if he knows? ?The atomic bomb is not something that a few Frankensteins can tinker with in the laboratory. Manufacturing an atomic bomb is a huge systematic project!Especially after the phenomenon of nuclear fission has become known to outsiders, the Soviet Union has no way to obtain related technologies and equipment before her demise.But Stalin didn't know this yet, so on the day Kurchatov arrived in Moscow, he was sent into the majestic and tall Kremlin by a black Volga sedan.Stalin's secretary, Poskrebyshev, waited in person at the gate of a palace wrapped in scaffolding, saw Kurchatov get out of the car, and led him into the hall.
The palace looks like it was bombed by the Germans in a previous war!All over Moscow are littered with ruins or half-collapsed buildings.Naturally, such a conspicuous target as the Kremlin was bombed!However, the interior of the palace still maintains a rather gorgeous decoration. I wonder if it was just restored?Kurchatov was led straight to the second floor of the palace. Outside an office in the corner of the second floor, Poskrebyshev opened the door without knocking, and made a gesture of invitation.
In the office, Kurchatov met Stalin.Although he has never seen the real person, he has only seen this great leader in carefully retouched photos or greatly beautified portraits.But when he saw this short and thin little old man with a pockmarked face and a gray mustache, he knew that he was Stalin.Because, that person has an air of anticipation and self-importance that can only be developed by living in the human world for a long time!
"Are you Igor Vasilyevich Kurchatov? Please sit down and talk." Stalin's voice was a little hoarse, and he looked very tired. He looked up at the stiff Kurchatov Tove, showing a little ugly smile. "As for the uranium bomb, I have listened to the explanations from experts from the Lenin Academy of Sciences. They think it is theoretically feasible, but it will take a long time and an unimaginable cost to turn the theoretically feasible into reality. Money. Do you think the Chinese have that much time and money?"
"They have!" Kurchatov replied loudly, taking a deep breath: "Comrade Stalin, the Chinese started very early on this! They started isotope separation even before the phenomenon of nuclear fission was made public. The construction of the factory! This is the most difficult part of making this kind of bomb, and it is also the part of the largest investment."
"Isotope separation factory? What's that?"
"Comrade Stalin, the thing is this. The element uranium is composed of three isotopes, namely uranium-238, uranium-235, and uranium-234. Among them, only uranium-235 can produce nuclear fission, that is, It is said that it can be used to make this super bomb. However, the content of this isotope in uranium oxide is very low, only 0.72%, and the difference between uranium-235 and uranium-238 is so small that it is unimaginable to separate them. !In this world, only Germany and the United States have the ability to independently manufacture a gas diffusion machine for separating uranium-235..."
"What! So the technology used by the Chinese to make this bomb came from Germany!" Stalin stood up abruptly, "Did Hitler also have this technology?"
Kurchatov sighed: "I think Hitler must have had this technology..."
Chapter 0764 World Revolution and World Empire ([-]) Hitler's "Operation Blue"
The worldwide anti-Soviet war seemed to have temporarily stopped. After the Soviet Union ceded the land generously, the greed of the two imperialist countries, China and Germany, was satisfied, and their armies stopped attacking.
However, Hitler and Luo Yaoguo were not the kind of politicians who kept their promises. They began to breach the peace treaty before the ink was dry.The western part of the river (Yenisei River) in Krasnoyarsk was handed over to the Queen's army, and troops and supplies were continuously transported from the Far East through the Siberian Railway. The west bank of the Yenisei River is everywhere The barracks and warehouses built with logs, according to the plan, will eventually have 150 million Belarusian troops transported here, and then use Rasnoyarsk as the base camp to attack Western Siberia in the Soviet Union!The Chinese are responsible for providing all the weapons, ammunition and supplies needed for this army to fight.Luo Yaoguo never intended to let Stalin go!
Similarly, Hitler also adopted an attitude of support for the Belarusian government he supported.Although the German army was withdrawn from the front lines to take over the new territories of Belarus, Ukraine and Estonia.But for the nearly 200 million Belarusian troops based in Petersburg, he still generously provided all the weapons and equipment they needed!And he also inexplicably asked the Chinese Expeditionary Force not to hand over weapons to the Belarusian army.Because the arsenal of the German Empire has sufficient production capacity to meet all the needs of the Belarusian army.This reason sounds a bit ridiculous, there must be some ulterior conspiracy...
Of course, this kind of treachery was also expected by the great leader of communism.The Soviet Union did not waste the hard-won respite, and was concentrating all its manpower and material resources to prepare for the upcoming summer offensive.The Soviet Red Army planned to launch an attack on Petersburg in the summer of 1938 and regain this glorious city with a long revolutionary tradition in one fell swoop.
On April 1938, 4, Stalin once again summoned members of his Revolutionary Military Council and politicians to the Kremlin for a meeting.Everyone came to the office of the Supreme Commander, which was in the palace that had suffered several German bombs and was being repaired.
Stalin sat down at the table, still holding a smoking carved pipe habitually in his hand, puffing a few puffs from time to time, puffing out a little light blue smoke...Zhukov looked carefully at his tired, gloomy, With a depressed face, he was surprised to find a look of uneasiness and fear on the face of the great leader.Why should Stalin be disturbed?Haven't Germany and China stopped attacking already?Could a whore empress do any fatal harm to the Soviet fatherland?
At this time, Poskrebyshev came to the door of the office and reported in a hoarse voice that his expression was similar to Stalin's, but a little worse, as if he hadn't fallen asleep for several days.
"Comrade Stalin, Marshal Kulik is calling."
Stalin took off the receiver from the black telephone and put the receiver to his ear: "Hello, Comrade Kulik! It's me, Stalin..."
Apparently Kulik had brought him some good news, and the gloomy expression on Stalin's face was gradually dispelled a little.After a while, he put down the microphone in his hand and explained to the people present in the room: "The Central Front Army (newly formed) commanded by Comrade Kulik defeated Semyonov's bandit army in Belarus near Smolensk, His group army has driven out of the southern part of Smolensk! Now this important city is completely under our control." He paused, and then said with emphasis: "This is a great victory! Recapturing Smolensk After Lensk, the west side of Moscow will be safe. I have instructed Comrade Kulik to fortify Smolensk. In addition, the main cities in the west must also be built into indestructible fortresses! Only this kind of fortress can stop the fascists German invasion again."
After being played hard by Hitler, the great leader of communism has clearly learned his lesson.However, when he thought of the powerful German Panzer Corps rumbling towards Moscow, Stalin couldn't sleep at night. After racking his brains, the great Comrade Stalin finally came up with an unreasonable way to fortify the western cities of the Soviet Union one by one. change!Cities including Bryansk, Kurchatov, Orel, Belgorod, Voronezh, Safonovo, Vyazma were instructed to turn cities into fortresses.Relying on these cities surrounded by anti-tank trenches, cliffs, trenches, and various permanent or semi-permanent fortifications, the Red Army of Workers and Peasants should be able to resist Hitler's steel army, right?Naturally, the main force of the Red Army can also be drawn out and used to attack Petersburg in the northwest.
"Commanders of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army." It can be heard from Stalin's voice that his mood seems to have improved. He said: "Now that Smolensk has been recovered, it only needs to be turned into a fortress. We won't be hitting Moscow anytime soon. So now we have a chance to defeat that whore who occupied Leningrad first, and retake this glorious city!" He turned his head and looked at Voroshilov, "Counterattack Lenin Is Guller's plan ready?"
"It's ready, Comrade Stalin!" Voroshilov stood up, walked to the front of the map, picked up the pointer and pointed to Leningrad on the map, and said: "According to intelligence, the whore Anastasia is in Germany and With the support of China, a huge army has been pieced together, about 200 million people, and it is now concentrated on the line from Leningrad to Great Luki. However, although this army has a large number of people, its combat effectiveness is not high. Strong. Because they fight for military pay, not for the liberation of all mankind, and there are no political cadres and necessary ideological education in the army. Such an army, like the army of the old Tsarist Russia, is a group of walking corpses without souls. Vulnerable! Therefore, the Revolutionary Military Council suggested organizing a Northwest Front Army with 150 million troops to defeat them..."
"Wait!" Stalin interrupted him. "Use 150 million troops to defeat 200 million troops? Who are their commanders? Voroshilov, do you know?"
"The whore Anastasia appointed the bandit Denikin as commander-in-chief of the White Army, the traitor Tukhachevsky as chief of the White Army's general staff, and Duke Alexander as commander-in-chief of the Petersburg garrison..."
"Then who shall we send to defeat them?" Stalin asked again.
"It's Marshal Budyonny." Voroshilov replied: "The Revolutionary Military Council suggested that Budyonny be transferred back from Siberia to command the Northwest Front Army, and that the Siberian Front Army be handed over to General Voronov to command."
There was a hint of sarcasm on Stalin's face, and he sneered: "Let Budyonny command 150 million troops to defeat Tukhachevsky's 200 million troops, thanks to you, the People's Commissar of National Defense, who figured it out!"
Voroshilov was taken aback when he heard this. Stalin was obviously expressing his dissatisfaction with the military work he presided over, and a thin layer of sweat immediately appeared on his forehead.
After Stalin beat Voroshilov for a while, he did not continue to delve into it. Instead, he changed the topic and ordered: "Send 200 million troops, under the command of Comrade Zhukov, and take back Leningrad before October 1938! "As he spoke, he glanced at Zhukov who was sitting in the corner frowning bitterly. "Konstantinovich, do you have any questions?"
Zhukov stood up and gave Stalin a military salute. "There is a little problem, Comrade Stalin! If we send 200 million troops to the Northwest Front, aren't the Central and Southwest Fronts too empty? Is Moscow's defense also..."
Stalin's face suddenly darkened. He waved the pipe in his hand and shouted: "You don't need to worry about the Central and Southwest. Your task is to attack Leningrad as soon as possible! You must be quick! You must not let that whore Stand firm in Leningrad! Never!"
……
Just as Stalin and his ministers were discussing how to liberate Leningrad, Luo Yaoguo's special plane landed on the runway of Berlin Tegel Airport again.This time he came to Germany at the invitation of Hitler. The purpose of Hitler's invitation to Berlin was mainly to coordinate the next steps of the two countries.In addition, at the end of the previous anti-Soviet war, there were some discordant notes between China and Germany, which Hitler also wanted to repair.
At the end of last year, at the end of the Belarus campaign, there was indeed a small problem in the cooperation between the German army and the Chinese expeditionary force on the battlefield.However, the real reason is not the disagreement between the two sides on how to support Empress Anastasia as Mao Zedong guessed.The real reason is that Hitler received a secret report from Professors Hahn and Heisenberg about building an atomic bomb!Unlike another time and space, for various reasons, Hitler and Nazi Germany did not pay special attention to building nuclear weapons.Now their understanding of this kind of nuclear fission bomb is absolutely no less than that of China and the United States, and they are naturally very eager to have this ultimate weapon!And after approving a large amount of scientific research funding, Hitler naturally thought of sharing China's secrets in nuclear weapons research... Such a request was naturally rejected by Luo Yaoguo, so it also cast a shadow on the alliance between the two parties. A shade.
As the aircraft motor of the Fw-200 transport plane slowly stopped rotating, Luo Yaoguo's turning plane slowly stopped on the concrete tarmac, and with the final tremor of the plane.Luo Yaoguo, who was sitting on the plane, finally woke up from his thoughts.Along the way, he was considering whether to cooperate with Germany in nuclear weapons research!He also knows in his heart that Germany and the United States in this time and space will soon master all the techniques for separating uranium-235—because they each already have half of the secrets.I believe that it will not be long, maybe in a year, the United States and Germany will be able to manufacture a complete gas diffusion machine, and in at most three years, they will be able to become a nuclear power together with China!It may be a year or so later than China, but it will never be too long.Therefore, China's nuclear monopoly cannot last long.Therefore, before Virtue has all the secrets, it is a good choice to exchange some of the technology for separating uranium-235 for something useful to China.However, this scale must be grasped well, and the United States and Germany must have atomic bombs at the same time!
In addition, if Hitler is sure that within three years, a super weapon capable of changing the direction of war and history will appear in this world...should it allow him to finally make up his mind to fight Britain and France?In this way, China's southward plan can begin.
……
"...My head of state, according to the information we have, the United States is also going all out to build an isotope separation plant. Since about 50% of the equipment or parts in our isotope separation plant are purchased from the United States, so It is not too difficult for them to build a complete isotope separation plant. At most one year, they will be able to manufacture enough gas diffusion machines to start the work of separating uranium-235. In another year or two, the United States It should be able to successfully create a fission bomb! I think you should understand the industrial potential of the United States. They have twice as many factories as China and Germany combined! They will not be able to make a fission bomb. So, I think We should end this world war before the United States has nuclear weapons! Then the world will be ruled by China, Germany and the United States."
Luo Yaoguo and Hitler talked for a whole afternoon in the luxurious living room of the German Chancellery. After some intense bargaining, the two demons who conspired to sabotage world peace finally reached an agreement on jointly developing nuclear weapons and some other secret weapons!Then the topic of the two sides shifted to the issue of launching a world war and ending the world war.The purpose of launching a war is to end the war victoriously. For this point, both Hitler and Luo Yaoguo can fully understand it.
Hitler pondered for a while in silence, staring at Luo Yaoguo with a pair of deep gray-blue eyes. After a while, he smiled slightly: "Your Excellency, Marshal, it seems that we have to hurry up...we can't create nuclear fission At the same time, we need to end the war before this ultimate weapon appears, and get enough loot. But, have you never thought about using that super bomb? I heard from Professor Hahn , a bomb made of 10 or 20 kg of uranium-235 is enough to destroy a medium-sized city. If we drop such a bomb in some ... some remote corner, please ask the British and French Politicians come and watch, and maybe the war will end before it begins."
Luo Yaoguo smiled wryly and shrugged, "Well, this is a good idea, and it can avoid a lot of bloodshed. But the problem is, I don't have this kind of bomb right now! To be honest, we already have about 150 kilograms of bombs with an abundance of 90 %uranium-235, according to calculations, can be used to produce 7 to 8 nuclear fission bombs! But we have not really produced such a bomb so far, and there are still many technical difficulties to be overcome. In addition... there is another problem, We do not have a carrier that can be used to drop this kind of bomb! In fact, after this kind of bomb is manufactured, it will be quite large, perhaps weighing several tons! But we do not have an aircraft that can drop this kind of bomb now. We use He-111 and Certainly not the Ju-88, they cannot hold such a bomb, not even the Fw-200. For this reason, I propose that our two countries jointly develop a long-range heavy bomber that can be used to deliver nuclear fission bombs!"
"Okay then! I will order Goering to handle it as soon as possible, but before that we will inevitably go to war again." Hitler showed a rather regretful expression. He turned around and said to the German Army Chief of Staff Keitel The general said: "Keitel, since we can't use this uranium bomb to end the war, please tell Marshal Luo our war plan."
Keitel walked to the edge of the wall and opened the huge woolen curtain. Behind the curtain was a huge map of Europe.The map is full of dense numbers of troops and arrows and small needles that symbolize the troops.Seeing this map, Luo Yaoguo couldn't help exclaiming in a low voice: "How could this happen! Führer, are you still going to attack the Soviet Union?"
Hitler's mustache moved, and he let out a few piercing laughter: "Your Excellency, to be precise, we are going to attack the Soviet Union! Your expeditionary force will also participate in this attack, especially the heroic Eighth Panzer Division, it will advance along the road from Smolensk to Moscow with 10 other German armored divisions, taking advantage of the opportunity of Stalin's main force going north to attack Petersburg and capture the Bolshevik capital in one fell swoop! After the scum of mankind, we will go west and make a final break with Britain and France!"
"Your Excellency Marshal, according to intelligence, the Bolsheviks have formed a large-scale Northwest Front Army to attack Petersburg, and appointed Admiral Zhukov, who was newly trusted by Stalin, as the commander of the Front Army." Pointing to the southeast of Petersburg with a red arrow, he added: "The Northwest Front Army is estimated to have more than 150 million troops. If these troops make the final resistance in Moscow, we will suffer tens of thousands of casualties. Therefore, the head of state will use the plan Accept Stalin's peace terms! In order to be another surprise attack." He pointed the pointer at Belarus and Ukraine, and said with an uncontrollable excited voice: "We have assembled ten armored divisions there, 10 The infantry army, a huge army of nearly 40 million people, has more than 200 cannons. In addition, more than 5000 aircraft have also been secretly concentrated at various airports near Minsk and Kiev. We hope that the Chinese Expeditionary Force will not return to China for the time being. Instead, participate in this battle plan called 'Operation Blue'!"
Chapter 0765 world revolution and world empire (seven) Japan's stand
"Give some to everyone." Empress Anastasia took out a money bag from nowhere and handed it to the blond White Russian Young Guard officer sitting in the passenger seat.The officer opened the door and stepped out of the Queen's Maybach limousine.The ragged people on the side of the road struggled to get up one after another, holding tattered bowls and bowls in their withered and shriveled hands, and flocked to the car with the flag of the Romanov dynasty with bright eyes.The officer opened the purse, reached out and took out a handful of shining silver coins.The refugees squeezed forward even harder, scrambling to reach out their hands.The officer hurriedly put the money bag into his arms, and shouted in slightly blunt Russian: "Don't snatch it! One silver coin each! Everyone has it!"
"Honey, didn't you expect my capital to look like this? It looks like I'm really not a good empress." Anastasia looked at the crowd outside who had regained some order, and said in a plaintive voice. Said to Luo Yaoguo who was sitting beside her.
Seeing the chaotic beggars outside, Luo Yaoguo couldn't help sweating in his palms.If there is an assassin in here and throws some kind of grenade over here, then I and the queen will have to confess here!But then again, how did Petersburg become a den of beggars now?Worrying about the empress of Russia getting thinner and thinner—fortunately, she was thinner where she should be.
"The situation will get better, uh, there will be bread, there will be milk!" Luo Yaoguo was about to comfort the queen, so Comrade Lenin's famous words came out of his mouth.
The queen didn't seem to hear it, maybe her attention was on the beggars outside, and she saw a few dirty children mixed in the crowd.
"Give the child an extra silver coin." The queen raised her voice so that the officer and the beggars could hear.
The refugees who received the silver coins finally dispersed, but there were still some standing beside the car with blank faces, stretching their necks and looking at the queen in the limousine, their eyes were full of complex expressions, as if there was hatred and expectation, Also a little disappointed.
