Chapter 307 The Fool in the Eyes of the Opponent
“What on earth do you mean?”
Beria held a thin piece of paper in his hand with only a short string of characters on it. :
"Klaus Fox"
Just this simple name caused Comrade Beria's sleep quality to drop by half for four consecutive months.
As we all know, the United States relies on spending money to engage in nuclear physics, the UK relies on talents and allies, and the Soviets rely on spies to engage in nuclear physics.
This Klaus Fox was the core figure in the Soviet Union's attempt to steal the British and American nuclear weapons programs. He was also the highest-level scientist spy and the biggest nail in the Manhattan Project.
How important is he?
Before he was discovered, this talented physicist with British and German citizenship was absorbed into the nuclear fission weapon research and development team of the United States. He worked in Manhattan with 45,000 employees and 12 Nobel Prize winners. In the plan, the ranking is still in the top 10, and a large number of core data calculations are controlled by him.
After 1947, he was appointed director of the Theoretical Physics Division of the British Haruel Atomic Center, and was one of the main persons in charge of the British nuclear program and hydrogen bomb research.
It can be said that he single-handedly advanced the Soviet Union's entire atomic bomb development process by ten years.
At this time, he was only 34 years old. If nothing unexpected happened, he could serve the Soviet Union for more than thirty years, and the value he could contribute would be immeasurable.
Every stroke of He Chi's name written on the paper seemed to be engraved on Beria's nerves.
"Mr. Beria, do you really not understand what I mean?" He Chi pulled up a chair and sat opposite the spy chief and continued
"You should know that in 1940, I had a lot of dealings with German spies in the UK. It happened that Mr. Fox had a German background, so I paid a little attention to it. Then I unexpectedly discovered that he was actually from the Soviet Union. People.”
Of course the above are all false.
In fact, the deeds of this legendary agent have been talked about after being declassified in the future. Anyone who likes to explore history has more or less heard of it
He Chi is just telling himself I just need to find a reasonable explanation for my remarks.
But Beria believed it, because the destruction of the German intelligence network in London during the Battle of Britain was a landmark event. At that time, more than 40 elite German intelligence agents were killed, and Beria knew about it for the first time. The code name 007.
But why hasn’t the British arrested him yet? Beria had a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Of course it's also for profit." The Oriental said as if he could read minds. Then he stood up and admired the surrounding decorations as if he were in his own living room. He picked up an antique coin that should have been from the fourteenth century and played with it in his hand.
"Although the United States is an ally of the United Kingdom, for London, it is not what they want to see if only Washington has nuclear weapons. So you know... As long as there are enough interests, it is not a problem not to expose Mr. Fox. No. ”
Bata~
The ancient coin disappeared into the palm of the Oriental’s hand, Then it appeared on Beria's desktop, with the herringbone on it facing the Soviet Minister of Interior, as if asking "Mr. Beria, what is your price?"
Beria at this time I was very confused. If things didn't come to the worst, Fox could still be saved, but the initiative was in the hands of the other party, and 007 would definitely make a big move.
The agent leader took a deep breath, and still planned to use what he was good at. After all, the opponent was very difficult to deal with, and it would be impossible without some bloodshed.
"How about information exchange? Mr. 007, you are responsible for blocking Fox's news, and I will provide you with reciprocal information." Beria crossed his hands and started bargaining.
“Let me tell you first, I am not interested in everything.” He Chi adopted a taste-before-you-buy attitude.
“There are signs of unrest within Franco’s government in Spain. Do you want to hear about it?”
“Revolts are brewing in the Basque Country and Catalonia. Do you want me to bring them to justice? Give you the list of leaders? "The Finnish government is fighting with the Germans..."
“In Lapland, three German divisions symbolically retreated to Sweden. I know the names of the division commanders.”
“As for East Asia, the United States has confirmed its support for Syngman Rhee… "
"Stop it, although I understand the general process, but this has nothing to do with Britain."
Beria feels very tricky. The information channels of the Eastern people on the other side are very wide, and he himself. After even telling a few pieces of valuable information, the other party actually knew it already.
It seems a little difficult to impress the guy in front of you...
Wait, just give him that thing.
A thought flashed through Beria's mind.
"Please wait a moment, I guarantee you will be interested in this thing." The spy leader stood up and took out a huge drawing from a large cabinet.
The drawings were laid flat on the table, and a whale-like figure appeared on the paper.
"Submarine?" He Chi looked at the things above.
"Look again? This is no ordinary submarine." Beria pushed the drawing forward.
"Well, this power system seems to be...a nuclear submarine?" He Chi recognized what was in front of him and was indeed surprised.
The construction of the world's first nuclear submarine should have started in 1951, and the theoretical construction of its reactor should have just been completed. Unexpectedly, there were conceptual design drawings at this time.
Bah bang bang!
Applause rang out, and Beria complimented from the side, "As expected of the famous 007, he is indeed well-informed. I have only just been exposed to the concept of nuclear submarines for less than two months. I didn't expect you to already know about it."
Then the intelligence chief said in a profiteer's tone, "How about it? Another achievement of our Professor Foster, the United States The most advanced submarine design of the Chinese people, although there are still some imperfections in the details, it is definitely a weapon that is at the forefront of the world.”
“If it is just a blueprint, it seems that there are too many details missing...only a theoretical construction. Reference value." He Chi's tone was like a picky buyer in the market, but his expression was shaken.
Seeing that the Oriental people were moved, Beria decided to add another fire, "It doesn't matter, we can share this information for a long time. As long as Professor Fox is not accused, there will be a continuous flow of information on this submarine. "Send it over"
"Free sharing?"
"Of course, share for free."
He Chi stood up and thought for a moment, then nodded, rolled up the main picture and several sub-pictures on the table, took them in his hand, and then stretched out his right hand.
"Mr. Beria, I hope we can have a happy cooperation."
"Of course, we are old friends."
Two hands holding together, each with his own agenda. The two people had false smiles on their faces, and at the same time they each muttered in their hearts:
"Idiot!"
