Chapter 551 [Stealing the sky and changing the sun] Air raid on Vermork

Churchill once sent a delegation led by former Australian scientist Marcus Ollerat to visit the Chinese Empire, hoping to obtain the nuclear reactor research and development technology of the Chinese Empire. However, they were rejected by the Chinese Empire, and they did not even allow the British to contact nuclear physics research experts such as Madame Curie. The British under the guise of peaceful development of nuclear energy to benefit mankind, but this trick was not useful to the Chinese Empire.

Hermann explained: "If I'm not wrong, Germany's nuclear weapons research speed is much faster than us and other countries, which makes the Chinese Empire feel tremendous pressure. At present, the Chinese Empire does not want to intervene in the European war. If we don't want to offend the Germans head-on, we can only let us take action."

Churchill snorted coldly and said, "How can we listen to their mercy! Dragging the Chinese Empire into the water is our primary strategic task in the future. We cannot let them stay out of the matter and reap profits like the last World War."

Hermann agreed: "I agree with your point of view! The Chinese Empire should not make a fortune like the last war. However, the strong national strength of the Chinese Empire, no matter where it stands, has a decisive influence on the outcome of the entire war. Can you guarantee that the Chinese Empire will stand on our side, not on Germany?"

Churchill was speechless, he could not guarantee this.

Hermann continued: "If you want the Chinese Empire to stand on our side, now is an opportunity!"

Churchill thought for a while and asked, "What do you mean is that we will please them this time?"

Hermann smiled and said, "Didn't you say you would drag the Chinese Empire into the water at any cost? Let the Germans know that our attack on the Molk Hydropower Station was a secret commander of the Chinese Empire. Let Hitler seek revenge on the Chinese Empire."

Churchill shook his head and said, "This alone may not drag the Chinese Empire into the water!"

Hermann said: "Even if the Chinese Empire cannot be dragged into the water, it will at least create some conflicts between China and Germany. Even if the Chinese Empire does not join our camp, at least it will not join the Allies."

Churchill thought about it and nodded, "Then do as you said, we will be a thug for the Chinese Empire! If this matter is true, it means that the Germans' nuclear weapons plan is ahead of us. Since even the Chinese Empire is so concerned and worried about nuclear weapons, it will prove the correctness of our research on nuclear weapons. At the same time, if the Germans are asked to develop nuclear weapons in advance, we will be more passive."

Hermann nodded and said with a deep sense of agreement: "Yes, we must stop the Germans from developing nuclear weapons. I will arrange this operation myself, and I would also like to ask the Prime Minister to only cooperate with the Imperial Air Force."

Churchill suddenly asked, "What are you going to do?"

Herman said: "Of course it was directly destroyed! I will send agents to provide accurate location guidance to the Air Force bomber group on the ground, and the Air Force will carry out saturation bombing of the Molk Hydropower Station to ensure the completion of the mission in one hour."

"No!" Churchill shook his head and said, "Don't blow up the Molk Hydropower Station first. Since heavy water is an important material for nuclear weapons research and development, it is naturally useful for our nuclear weapons research. In this way, you will first send a special forces team to find a way to get out heavy water production technology, and then destroy it."

Hermann frowned and said, "There have been layered with German defenses. Even the agents of the Chinese Empire cannot get close. It may be difficult for us to obtain this technology."

Churchill sternly said: "Even if it is difficult, try it! This is about the future of the British Empire! You must pay attention to it!"

"Yes!" Herman said seriously: "I will do my best to complete the task!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Because the British Command required the industrialization of heavy water production technology, he did not dare to easily destroy the entire power plant. This seriously restricted the British special forces members. In addition, Germany attached great importance to the power plant, which led to the failure of the first raid mission and suffered heavy losses from the British army under the fierce counterattack of the German army.

Based on these situations, if you want to blow up the factory, you must send another special force. Then select a special team from the Norwegian resistance movement to cooperate with the sabotage attack. The selected personnel must be familiar with the factory situation and surrounding terrain.

Finally, the task of blowing up heavy water production equipment was handed over to two British airborne platoons (the predecessor of the British Air Force Special Operations Team). The British army collected extensive intelligence and learned through Norwegian resistance movements that the German occupation forces required the increase in heavy water production and obtained a diagram of the production supplementary equipment installation to carefully analyze and study various situations.

Given that the German air defense alarm facilities in Norway have no radar, the British army decided to use a glider to send the combatants there, and Norwegian underground workers needed to respond on the high ground on the north side of the factory. It was very risky to land on the landing of special attackers and gliders, because there were rare good weather in the coastal areas of central Norway, and there were many convex rocks and gutters on the high ground. Major General Browning and Colonel Norman jointly formulated an action plan. Since the destruction of the target requires a large number of ** and parachutes are not suitable, it is determined to use 2 gliders. The raiders were towed by 2 bombers. The attackers were divided into two groups, each with 16 people. According to the action plan, the combatants conducted extremely secret training.

On October 19, two British Halifax bombers pulled two gliders and took off from a military airport in Scotland. According to the plan, a small radio beacon was on the landing ground in the hilly Norway area. It was controlled by an agent. The beacon indicated the position of the traction machine to ensure that the gliders entered the pre-determined airspace. The yard was guarded by personnel from Norwegian secret resistance and lit a bonfire for signing.

The Royal Air Force used bombers to pull gliders for the first time. The crew lacked experience, and the weather was not good. The first tow aircraft could not receive ground signals due to a malfunction in navigation equipment, so they had to rely on maps to speculate. Later, the plane entered Miyun, and the operation failed and lost its altitude. When it arrived in the north of Stavanger, the towing rope broke. The glider landed in the dark. Two pilots and six combat team members were killed. Four were seriously injured and captured by the German patrol. The other flew over the target area, but due to the early departure, the glider landed near Herleland and was discovered by the enemy. Three attackers were shot dead while landing and other personnel were captured. The bomber who was towed hit a nearby mountain and all the crew members died.

In addition, the German detective team had intercepted the radio signals of the British and immediately arrived at the accident site by car. They found the ** bag and detonator in the wreckage of the glider. The British fled with their injured companions and were captured before they could go far. The prisoners were escorted to the city defense headquarters in Eagle Sonde. After a brief interrogation, they were all executed according to Hitler's orders on disposing of enemy airborne personnel and guerrillas.

The first attack failed, but the British commander did not give up and sent out several special forces one after another. They were indomitable and used magical tactical means to keep the production of the heavy water factory in a long-term paralysis, effectively curbing the nuclear test conducted by Germany.

Hitler attached much more importance to nuclear weapons than Britain's speculation. Hitler strengthened the security work of power plants, sent experts to fully understand the production technology of heavy water, concentrated a large amount of material and financial resources, appointed a group of scientists, and stepped up the establishment of heavy water production bases in the local area, and accelerated the development of nuclear weapons and reactors.

At this time, Germany had already achieved great success in nuclear raw materials. After the merger of Czech Republic and Slovakia, Germany obtained the asphalt uranium mines in Przbram and Yashimov. At the same time, German geologists also discovered uranium mines in the eastern part of Germany. This made Germany no longer have to rely on importing high-priced and pitiful uranium mines from the Chinese Empire. The Germans had uranium mines and immediately launched the uranium enrichment project. If there were sufficient heavy water raw materials, then the success of Germany's nuclear weapons development was just around the corner.

In November 1938, Hitler started to establish a heavy water factory in his native place, and on the other hand, he stepped up ordering the Norwegian factory to produce heavy water in large quantities and transported it to Germany by ship. This accelerated the test process of atomic fission. After the failure of many British operations, the British authorities believed that it could not be delayed any further and decided to completely destroy the factory.

In order to prevent the development of the Nazi German atomic bomb, the British General Staff formulated another assault action plan, code-named "Operation Condor".

The British wartime cabinet joint combat command was on high alert. In the underground combat room, Prime Minister Churchill gave 126 "Godman" bomber commandos: "Gentlemen, the fate of Britain and the victory of the Allied forces will depend on your actions. My cabinet members and I are waiting for your good news."

The British bomber group set out with Churchill's encouragement, but what made the British saddened was that the German army had expected to be attacked by British airstrikes, so it greatly strengthened the air defense firepower of the Norwegian heavy water factory and sent a fighter group to intercept it.

The result is self-evident. The 52 British bombers and 20 fighter jets escorted were all hit by fierce fire from the German army, with more than half of the losses. In addition, the British army hastily dropped the bombs several kilometers away from the heavy water factory to facilitate return flights.

The British failed repeatedly, which made the Chinese Empire, which had been watching by the side, feel bad.

Soon, Wang Chenhao convened a meeting in front of the imperial court to discuss countermeasures. Finally, the Air Force Minister Liu Xiang proposed to let the Imperial Air Force complete the task of destroying the German heavy water factory.

"Your Majesty, my solution is to paint all the Imperial bombers participating in the operation with the logo of the British Air Force. All the logos about the Imperial Air Force are wiped out, so that bombers are shot down in time, and the Germans cannot find any evidence to correct the Empire."

Wang Chenhao asked, "But what about the pilots? What if there are any captured ones? When the Germans see our pilot's face, whether they wear the British Air Force uniform or not, they know that it was done by the Empire."

Wang Shizhen said at this time: "Your Majesty, I can find a way to replace all the pilots with white people!"

Seeing Wang Chenhao’s doubts, Wang Shizhen quickly explained: “Have you forgotten? More than 20 years ago, your wise and powerful decision allowed the empire to introduce millions of brides from Europe and the United States. So far, they have bred more than two million mixed-race children for the empire, of which the family of the empire occupied more than half. At present, a special mixed-race army has been formed among the three armies of the empire. They have Chinese blood flowed, but their appearance is no different from Western whites, except that they need to change their color.”

Only then did Wang Chenhao remember that he did have this consideration back then.

Thinking of this, Wang Chenhao was relieved and said, "Since that's the case, then we will pretend to be British and immediately destroy the German heavy water factory."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At midnight on December 14, 1938, 50 long-range bombers of H6n3 (an improved version of H6n1 H6 bombers) took off from the Belfast Air Force Base in Ireland, and under the escort of 30 Black Hawk fighters, they rose to nearly 10,000 meters and flew towards Norway.

These aircraft were painted with the logo of the British Goldman Aircraft Regiment, and all the signs on the words "The Chinese Empire" were driven out. The aircraft carried hundreds of tons of aviation bombs, and all crew pilots were soldiers of the Chinese Empire with white faces.

One night before, the submarine of the Imperial Navy, the small yellow croaker, secretly sent six special forces members code-named "Condor" of the Imperial Marine Corps to Norway. At this time, they had secretly lurked near the Norwegian heavy water factory.

All six "Condor Team" were disguised as German soldiers, two of them disguised as Norwegian workers, and two of them disguised as Norwegian students. They carried the most advanced weapons and equipment of the Chinese Empire, including m96 long-range sniper rifles with silencers, m16 automatic rifles and m22 special pistols, radio near-fighting guidance devices, time bombs, climbing equipment and other special weapons and equipment.

Five minutes later, six black dots crossed the ice layer on the surface of Scullikai Lake and quickly gathered onto a small high ground nearby. Captain Zhang Naiwu took out the map and compass and quickly determined the exact location.

"Our bomber group will come later. C6 (special team number during combat) is responsible for contacting the bomber group. I cover C3 and C4 to install all radio near-blasting guidance devices in the predetermined position. C5 is responsible for laying out booms and covering us with retreat. C2 organizes sniper points on the opposite mountain to provide long-range fire support."

Zhang Naiwu paused and then said, "Now start the check-up, 21:13:4. After everyone is in place, they are waiting for my order. The bomber group will arrive here at 1:12 am for saturation bombing. We assembled at the beach according to the scheduled plan, and the little yellow croaker will pick us up there. If we are separated, we will retreat to northern Norway according to the plan No. 2 and meet in the Swedish Embassy. If we are unfortunately captured, we know what to do, right?"

"clear!"

"Get to act!"
