My German Empire - Chapter 6: Start

“Any magnificent scientific research requires a peaceful external environment, but what we in Germany lack the most is this kind of peace. Poland in the east has been watching us all the time. If someday they want to attack us, what should we do? We can only work hard. Fight back! But once we mobilize military forces, it will definitely cause a chain reaction. Do you think Britain and France will sit down and watch the show?”

Wilhelm didn’t expect that Dr. Einstein would come to him so quickly. At first he thought that the doctor had figured it out. But it’s boring to be so squeaky after you come, right? How much saliva will be wasted before you agree? ! How refreshing were you when you wrote to president Roosevelt? ! (This letter advising President Roosevelt to build an atomic bomb was actually drafted by the famous American physicist Zillard and Hungarian physicist Wigner. In order to attract the President’s attention, they were seeking Einstein’s advice. After agreeing,Einstein sent a letter to the President of the United States in his own name.)

Einstein was very serious. “At that time there will be another world war.”

“…” This is true. After the end of the last war, people thought it was a “war to end all wars.” As a result, nothing ended. Instead, the seeds of World War II were planted.

“My idea is that the next world war may be an opportunity to prevent the third world war from happening. Wars have undoubtedly brought endless pain to people and caused scenes of human tragedies. But there are always two sides of a same coin, while causing tragedies, war also has a strong role in promoting technological development. If someone develops a super weapon in the next world war, it will not only end the war immediately, but also prevent the occurrence of the third world war. .”

At the end of World War II, Japan clamouring to die along with the enemies, but after being hit by two atomic bombs, it obediently surrendered. And the world peace in the next few decades is also the blessing of nuclear weapons! (Any kind of nuclear warfare is devastating to the two opposing parties. Once a nuclear war breaks out, neither of the two parties can guarantee that they can destroy all the other’s nuclear facilities in the first place so that they will not suffer nuclear retaliation. Under this threat, the Parties with conflicts of interest often choose peaceful negotiations to solve the problem)

But now Einstein obviously can’t think of the hard-won peace that needs to be defended by super weapons that destroy the world. “So your Royal Highness Wilhelm wants to use a super weapon?”

“I want to use it only as a deterrent, but what if a madman is not afraid of deterrence and does not intend to end the war at all?” Just like the original time-space on August 6, 1945, after the atomic bomb incident in Hiroshima, the emperor of Japan remained the same and frantically encouraged everyone to face the disaster and refuse to surrender. It was not until the US army threw another one to Nagasaki and the Soviet Union sent troops to the northeast before it was forced to declare an unconditional surrender.

“I have a super weapon, do we have to send our soldiers to death in vain? Maybe if you throw one into the city of that country, the leader of that country will recognize the facts. Because if he doesn’t recognize it, the next super weapon Will be thrown on top of his head. However, out of humanitarian considerations, I will go to that city to spread flyers to warn them that the citizens in the city are asked to move as soon as possible and leave the city. Or simply throw the super weapon into the desert regions to frighten them. Of course, this is just a hypothetical assumption. After all, with the current situation, Germany is simply unable to provoke a war again. Even in the future, we can only be forced to defend ourselves.”

You did not participate in the “Manhattan” project. Didn’t the United States still produce the atomic bomb? What Americans can make, why can’t German scientists make it? You are not more than what you are, and you are not less than you. Why are you playing a ‘good person’ card at this time? !

Just when Wilhelm was full of complaints and was about to lose control of the expression on his face, Dr. Einstein finally spoke. “I agree to be the head of the Nuclear Energy Research Department, but my department only conducts energy research, and I will not participate in weapons.”

Wilhelm resisted the urge to clap the table loudly, stretched out his hand, and held Einstein’s hand tightly. “Thank you Dr. Einstein, your decision will be the greatest contribution to mankind as a whole. I think in the near future, everyone who enjoys clean energy will remember your great achievements.” After some compliments, he emphasized One sentence. “Your research department must have the national security department involved. After all, I don’t want any hostile country to steal your research results and use it against our Germany, and I will arrange someone to protect you 24 hours a day.”

“His Royal Highness Wilhelm, I have no objection for the security department to intervene. As for myself…” Einstein was interrupted by Wilhelm before he could finish his words.

“Dr. Einstein,If our enemies realize that we have such a major research project launched, they will definitely try to find out the inside story, and even kidnap researchers. You will be the first to be their primary goal. Not only you, but the main researchers of the research department and their families will be protected. I will urge them to try not to disturb your life. I hope you can understand that you are the wealth of the country, and any mistake is a major loss to the country. ”

Hearing what Wilhelm said , Einstein couldn’t refuse any more. “OK then.”

“Wait a moment.” Wilhelm stopped Einstein, who was about to stand up to leave, and went to another room, took out a piece of paper, and started to write.

He came back and passed the paper to Einstein. “Look at this.”

Einstein only glanced at it and found out what it was. “This is the summary of the theory of relativity?”

Wilhelm nodded. “This was written by a 15-year-old student in the UK to explain your theory of relativity to his mother.”

Einstein’s eyes widened suddenly. “15 years old?!” He sighed after reading the contents of the paper carefully. “If he really realized this, this kid is a genius!”

Of course a genius. “So I would like to ask you to write a letter to this student. How about asking him to come to Germany?”

Einstein nodded without hesitation this time. “No problem, I’ll write when I go back. I also want to see this little genius.”

Wilhelm sent him to the door and solemnly thanked him again. “Dr. Einstein, thank you again for your decision for the country.”

“His Royal Highness, you are too polite.”

Wilhelm, who sent Einstein away, couldn’t help but curl his lips. This old man almost made me bend my knees. If it’s not for the sake of his brain’s usefulness, I would have definitely thrown him into a concentration camp to do coolies!

Einstein refused to study nuclear weapons, so he could only find someone else.
