My German Empire - Chapter 54:
Russia has always been a large land power in history. Although its navy has always been well equipped, its naval battle results were very ugly due to various reasons. Even the main force of the fleet was completely annihilated by Japan once, a large number of battleships were sunk, and the losses were painful. It was comparable to the Russian version of “The Shame of the Sino-Japanese War”. But in World War I, the Russian navy in Europe achieved some results.
Of course, it’s just “a little bit”. After all, the navy was originally a money-burning project. Russia in the Tsarist era was originally a country with a weak industrial foundation and a weak economy. Except for its large territory, nothing much could be compared with the standards of big countries. After World War I, there were only four Dreadnought-class battleships left for the new Red Navy.
And this is an era of great development in world naval technology! The Soviet Union has just completed industrialization, and there is still a long way to go in terms of naval construction. It is a pity that there is no mature battleship technology, including naval guns, hulls, and steel. In short, the Soviet Union does not have any technical reserves.
Therefore, Tukhachevsky is quite interested in the battleship that Wilhelm revealed. Just by its data alone, this ship can indeed be called a “super battleship.”
Before he came, he didn’t know that Germany had such an awesome warship plan, and of course he had no plans to buy it. If it’s a destroyer or something, he can still make a decision, but this expensive big boy is out of his league. After thinking for a while, he finally spoke. “Then I have to consult Moscow first.”
Wilhelm also knew that he could not make this decision alone, and nodded. “Then today’s meeting will end here. General Tukhachevsky, your journey must have been exhausting. Let’s take a rest and discuss in detail tomorrow. Miss Natasha, thank you for explaining the customs of the Soviet Union last time. How about I show you around the palace this time?”
Natasha responded with a smile. “Then I’m really honored.”
Tukhachevsky declined the hotel Wilhelm had prepared for them and went to the Soviet Embassy in Germany.
Wilhelm curled his lips in disdain as he watched the convoy drifting away. “Why go to the embassy when there’s a comfortable hotel ready for you. Is it because your guilty conscience is acting up and you think that we will also be monitoring you in the hotel?” After speaking, he turned his head towards Natasha. “I was about to find a way to contact you, such a coincidence you are here already.”
Natasha lowered her head slightly and replied. “I was originally performing an important task in the country, and the boss suddenly transferred me here. I heard that it was Tukhachevsky who personally recommended me. He also asked me to spy for more confidential information.”
Wilhelm couldn’t help but sneer. “Tsk, since this General Tukhachevsky is so obsessed with beauty, then I can’t let him down, can I?”
“Do you have any orders? Your Royal Highness Wilhelm?”
While they were talking, the two returned to the office. Wilhelm took out a small box from the safe, opened it and took out a bullet and threw it to Natasha.
Natasha saw at a glance that it was a Tokarev TT303 7.62mm semi-automatic pistol bullet, but the weight clearly pointed out it was not made of copper. “this is?”
Seeing her puzzled gaze, Wilhelm explained. “This is lead, and it contains some kind of radioactive substance.”
Natasha asked after inspecting the bullet. “You don’t want me to put it on Stalin’s dinner plate, do you?” Although she wished to pour the radioactive substance into the mouth of that nasty beard herself, she also knew it was impossible. Although she has been in the intelligence department all these years, her ability is still not enough to get past the security of Stalin.
Wilhelm smiled. “Don’t worry, although I want to, I also know that it is an impossible task. I want you to put it in the Leningrad Institute of Technology. Just find a place where everyone will pass by every day. It’s radioactivity is not very strong. Even if someone is exposed twice a day, there will be no response until more than a year.” Why choose Leningrad Institute of Technology? Because the designer of the future T-34 tank, Mikhail Ilyich Koshkin is studying in that school.
“Leningrad Institute of Technology?” Natasha didn’t ask too much, and nodded after thinking about it. “That’s an ordinary college. It’s easy.” In her view, the Soviet Union now has no innocent people except those “enemies of the people” who are doing coolies in cold Siberia. Let alone an academician, even if all Leningrad people were to die, she would not hesitate to execute it.
Seeing Natasha put away the bullet, Wilhelm pointed to a pile of documents on the table. “It looks like I’m going to be busy again, let me arrange a room for you to rest.”
“Then I won’t bother you.” Natasha asked suddenly after taking two steps towards the door. “Your Highness, am I not pretty?”
Wilhelm stared at her pretty face for a few seconds and replied seriously. “You are very beautiful. I almost drooled last time I saw you. To be honest, if it weren’t for our cooperative relationship,I will definitely try to get you into my bed. But now that we are in a cooperative relationship, I don’t want to make the relationship too complicated. This is good for both of you and me, don’t you think so?”
Natasha smiled slightly. “Sure enough, you are wiser than I thought, and my choice was correct. Can you find me a strong German man? I have never tasted a German before.”
The last sentence made Wilhelm almost choke with saliva.
Shit, is she treating me like a pimp?
Seeing Wilhelm’s stunned reaction, Natasha shrugged and said innocently. “It may be difficult for you to imagine how our intelligence department trains female agents. There are special sex training in the training courses, which can make a naive, innocent and pure girl like a blank sheet of paper into a slutty female spy almost overnight.”
Wilhelm couldn’t help but pat his forehead. He also knew some things about KGB’s shallow training. “So you are addicted? Don’t worry, I will find some strong men and send them to your room.”
After speaking, he pressed the electric bell on the table and told Annie who came in. “Miss Annie, take Miss Natasha to the basement. I don’t want to be disturbed by other people. Call Miss Monica in.”
Wilhelm hesitated for a while when the red-haired Monica came in before speaking. “Miss Monica, go to the jail, bring two sturdy people from the death row inmates, wash them clean and send them to the basement.” He originally planned to find a few from the guards in the yard, but this may lead to some unnecessary gossip in the future.
