Putting down the phone, Merkulov quickly picked it up again and said, "I'm Merkulov, pick me up from the Special Operations Division. No matter what method is used, ensure the success of the operation. The Special Operations Division will set off immediately. Use
Do everything possible to bring back the talents the great Soviet needs."
Historically, Operation Osawagen was launched three months after the United States' Operation Boomerang. The Soviet Union, which was belatedly aware of the situation, began to plunder scientists from the German military industry in October after the war ended. Compared with the period just after the war,
In July, the United States, which had already started this work, had already lost its head start.
In terms of execution ability, the Soviet Union not only had no disadvantage over the United States, but even had an advantage. But at the beginning, the Soviet Union's minds were filled with revenge against the Germans, and they did not think of this.
Through an accidental message, the NKVD learned that the United States, Britain and France had action plans in this regard. It suddenly came to its senses and quickly launched Operation Osawagen. Using its strong execution power, it must seize the opportunity before the United States, Britain and France.
Previously, these scientists from the German military industry were acquired.
The primary target is the German Army Rocket Research Center on the Baltic Coast, where the famous V-2 rocket was successfully developed. There are also Saxony and Thuringia in the Soviet occupied areas. Before Germany surrendered, a large number of researchers and equipment came from Berlin.
Retreat to these two states.
During Operation Osawagen, Werner von Braun and his V-2 rocket research team were prominently involved.
Merkulov mobilized the personnel of the Special Operations Division to rush to the front line, and at the same time promised independent trial rights. Beria, who put down the phone, was also not idle and directly contacted the Red Army commander who had already invaded Berlin.
Contacts have been established, allowing frontline commanders to pay close attention to relevant talents and protect Berlin's scientific research institutions.
Beria then left the apartment directly and went to the Kremlin, preparing to report to Stalin.
Because of an accidental intelligence whose authenticity was doubtful and whose source could not be evaluated, the battle for German scientists between the United States and the Soviet Union was launched in advance, and this time it was the Soviet Union that took the lead.
Later, Beria walked out of the Kremlin calmly. He had received all authorizations for this operation.
The environment in the Soviet Union is still dangerous. Britain, France, and Germany are major European countries in terms of population and land. Britain and France have already started their colonial empire three hundred years ago, and Germany is also a well-known military empire. But as for the Eastern European countries in the Soviet Union, they used to be
A country with little sense of existence is still...
In order to close the gap with imperialism, Beria keenly realized that this operation must be successful, and it must be a huge success. Although the war has ended, the secret war has begun.
The invisible front has already moved into action, and on the devastated German soil, the vigorous competition for talents has begun.
In London, the civil servant of the British Empire who stayed out of the matter could only be busy with some trivial matters that had nothing to do with the high-tech. He collected some cigarettes and alcohol, and prepared to go to the European continent to comfort the Germans who were defeated again, and to dig for gold in the excrement. Maybe he should find a
Indian assistants, after all, they may be more professional in the work of panning for gold in manure.
In fact, he was preparing to do this. He sent a telegram to Ali Khan to send one of his sons to follow him to see the market.
Because Ali Khan was once the world's richest man, Alan Wilson was never prepared to do business with the other party. A one-time deal was not what he wanted, and long-term cooperation was foreseeable.
It was not a rude decision to ask Ali Khan to get some grain from Hyderabad. It was a very cost-effective deal to exchange some grain from British India for an opportunity to be exposed to the world.
The residents of Hyderabad should also be considerate of the reputation of their monarch. For the monarch's reputation in the world, this small sacrifice can be overcome. Anyway, they usually don't have much to eat.
The food matters, as well as the tobacco and alcohol prepared in London, were all left to Ali Khan's London housekeeper. This was easier than doing it himself. Although Ali Khan was far away in Hyderabad, he had more face than him. Ali Khan himself
It is even possible to contact a British bank in London directly from Hyderabad to freeze the account.
As the liaison officer of the Indian Affairs Department to British India, Alan Wilson had this convenience to get in touch with Hyderabad. On the other side was his assistant working in Hyderabad to help him communicate with Ali Khan.
Relationships need to be managed frequently, and no matter how good the relationship is, it will gradually fade away if the basics are not touched. Although Alan Wilson is not extremely smart, he still understands the basic principles.
In addition, he also had a part-time job, which was to help Mountbatten's family members in London contact the Mountbatten father and daughter in British India. The sequelae was that he frequently went in and out of Mountbatten's home in London, serving as a messenger.
.
"The Permanent Under-Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is making a list of people to go to Europe, and I may be going to take office soon." Before leaving Mountbatten's home on this day, Alan Wilson talked about his appointment, "The matter of liaison with New Delhi will not
Interruption, I believe the liaison officer of the Indian Affairs Department can understand how he misses General Mountbatten."
"Europe is still very dangerous now!" Edwina Ashley nodded and said, "The war is about to end, work is still important, and I also want to see my husband and daughter."
"My lady's wish should come true soon, but that place in British India, hey..." Alan Wilson hesitated, he still couldn't forget to show the real India in front of the other party.
After waving goodbye to Mountbatten's family, Alan Wilson had finished his business for the time being and was now waiting to go to Europe to deal with minor post-war matters. I didn't use the wrong wording, just minor matters.
The Battle of Berlin has reached its final moments. Thousands of Soviet aircraft once again dropped tens of thousands of tons of bombs and gasoline bombs over Berlin. On the ground, an average of nearly a thousand artillery pieces of various types were deployed per mile.
shooting.
After the bombing and shooting ended, Zhukov's 1st Belorussian Front sent numerous assault groups and assault detachments to advance into the city from all directions.
Under the cover of tanks and engineers equipped with flamethrowers and explosive equipment, the infantry advanced in small sections, infiltrating from backyards, basements and even underground railways and sewers, and captured every street and every building.
The fighting near the Capitol was particularly fierce. The domed building, due to repeated bombings, had turned into an empty behemoth. Two battalions of Soviet troops rushed into the Capitol. The invading Soviet troops immediately divided into groups and cleared the building floor by floor.
German troops on the first floor. The two sides engaged in fierce close combat in the room, on the stairs, and in the corridor.
Almost all types of weapons were used, from daggers, bayonets, grenades to heavy machine guns and flamethrowers. Automatic weapons swept like wind, and the walls of the building all turned into a honeycomb shape.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the Reichstag was captured. When the news came, Hitler shot himself. The successor head of state, Dönitz, confirmed the news.
