The Soviet Black Sea Fleet fought with the German Romanian fleet in Denest Bay off the southern coast of Odessa for five days. With the cooperation of a large number of land-based aviation and coastal artillery, the Soviet army finally sunk sixteen German barges, four transport ships, frigates and twelve torpedo boats, thus shattering the German army's attempt to use sea channels to rescue Odessa's besieged troops...com

While the sea battle was going on, the Soviet army successfully crossed the Denest River and immediately launched an attack on the city of Odessa. On June 20, the Soviet army assaulted the Fifth Army into the northern block of Odessa and launched a fierce battle with the Third Romanian Army who was trapped in the area. Day and night, under the leadership of the Odessa Soviet guerrillas, a Soviet army of less than 30 people went to the center of the city through the tunnel, and destroyed two arsenals set up by the German army in one fell swoop. Afterwards, although all members of the ranger were killed, their actions directly affected the subsequent development of the entire battle. As the arsenal was bombed, the German troops trapped in the city of Odessa were directly threatened with a shortage of ammunition and drug supplies.

At noon on June 21, the Eighth Army of the Soviet Guards, the Sixth Army and the Mechanized Cavalry Army approached the city of Odessa. Day and night, under the fierce artillery bombardment of artillery, the Soviet troops advanced into the city from east, south and north, and launched face-to-face street fighting with the German troops stranded in the city.

On June 27, the Romanian Third Army in Odessa was completely wiped out. At this point, the battles in Odessa and its close areas were all over. More than 100,000 German troops were destroyed by the Soviet army during the battle in this area. The Soviet Union liberated Nikolayev Prefecture, the entire Odessa Prefecture and most of Moldavia Prefecture.

The Battle of Odessa, with Meletskov as the main commander, completely defeated the German main forces on the southern front. During the battle lasted for more than a month, the Soviet troops successfully advanced more than 180 kilometers to the border area, thus creating the necessary conditions for liberating the entire territory of Moldavia and advancing to the heart of Romania and the Balkans. In contrast to the Soviet army, after the Battle of Odessa, the situation faced by the German army on the eastern front became increasingly difficult. The retreat of the southern front directly threatened the overall situation of the German army, which fought in the middle, would have to be wary of its right-wing defense line in the future battle.

As the commander, Meletskov was naturally overjoyed to be able to successfully win the Battle of Odessa. However, for this commander who was almost all on the second line in the entire Soviet-German war, he was even more surprised to be excited to have the opportunity to personally preside over the entire southern war zone. Of course, while feeling excited and excited, Meletskov would not forget who gave him such an opportunity. Without Chu Sinan and without Chu Sinan's absolute trust in him, he would not have had such an opportunity to directly command the front-line battle.

Just when Meletskov was secretly grateful and made every effort to arrange the battle to advance into the heartland of Romania, what was Chu Sinan doing? The marshal, who had supreme power in the Soviet Union, was facing a difficult choice, and this difficult choice was undoubtedly a rapid military technology.

At the end of June, Moscow was shining with the scorching sun.

In the Georkiev Hall of the Kremlin, a secret meeting attended by military representatives and hundreds of Soviet experts was held urgently under the auspices of Chu Sinan.

The convening of this meeting was quite urgency. Just before this meeting, Chu Sinan received several pieces of information from the Security Committee under the charge of Gilnilova. It was precisely because of the emergence of these pieces of information that the convening of this meeting was facilitated.

Among the several intelligences, a top-secret intelligence code-named "v" came from Germany. It was delivered back by the German Intelligence Team of the Security Council. The contents of it attracted the experts of the Intelligence Analysis Department of the General Administration. Soon after, after layers of reporting, Gilnilova finally obtained the information and handed it over to Chu Sinan. In this intelligence, the intelligence personnel hidden in Germany presented a familiar top-secret intelligence to Chu Sinan.

"Empress of Revenge"!

This name is definitely not unfamiliar to Chu Sinan. In World War II, the German army was the most outstanding military technology and had the greatest impact on later generations. It was the development technology of the V-2 rocket, which was named "The Envoy of Revenge" by Goebbels. To be honest, the reason why the United States and the Soviet Union were able to achieve such rapid results in aerospace launch vehicles and intercontinental ballistic missiles in later generations is inseparable from the original V-2 rocket technology of the German army.

Similarly, in this almost exhaustive piece of intelligence, the intelligence officers of the Security Committee mentioned a person's name, von Braun. In Chu Sinan's memory, this physicist born in 1912 was undoubtedly a genius. He led his scientific research team to develop the famous V-2 rocket for Nazi Germany at the age of 30. Later, he went to the United States and began to serve the aerospace industry in the United States of America. In the history of American aerospace from the war until the early 1970s, the German figure was everywhere. The first satellite launched by the United States was sent to space by a rocket developed by Braun. The reason why Apollo XI was able to successfully land on the moon was also closely related to the perfection of the "Saturn 5" rocket developed by Braun.

Chu Sinan would not have known such a world-renowned scientist, let alone the smart and capable safety committee agents have investigated the young man's information clearly, and they even provided Braun's detailed work and rest lifestyle habits.

"The Revenge Missile developed by Germany has been successful. Data shows that this weapon is suitable for severely destructive long-range strikes. Its strike radius exceeds 300 kilometers and its operating height is nearly 100 kilometers. If it is produced in large quantities and put into combat on the Eastern Front, it can be used to strike the Moscow region on the front line of Kiev..."

The analysis of intelligence analysts is very accurate. Although the strength of the German army can no longer pose a threat to the Soviet Union on the Eastern Front battlefield. However, if the V-2 is really put into the Kiev front, the entire Moscow will be included in the strike range by the German army. This consequence will be disastrous. Chu Sinan, the supreme commander of the command, must not ignore this.

Chu Sinan will not forget that in the history of World War II that he is familiar with, the thousands of V-2 rockets of the German army caused great losses to the unlucky Britain and the Netherlands. This veritable missile that could suddenly descend on him at all times is definitely not something that any existing Soviet troops can deal with.

If this kind of thing is to be prevented, then what measures should the Soviet Union take? There is no doubt that Chu Sinan has to do at the moment: First, order the Soviet troops in front of Kiev, that is, the central front army commanded by Zhukov to increase the offensive efforts of the German army in Kiev and liberate Kiev as early as possible, so as to push the German front beyond the range of the V-2 rockets. Second, establish a development bureau in the Soviet Union to develop strategic rocket technology, and at the same time, use the intelligence information on German rocket technology obtained by the intelligence agency of the Security Committee to speed up the development of the Soviet Union's own long-range strategic rocket technology.

The Soviet Union was not without foundation for developing long-range rocket technology. As early as the late 1920s, Thiorkovsky had proposed the theory of multi-stage rocket structure. Unfortunately, in the following decade, the Soviet Union put the main research direction of rocket technology into aircraft power and rocket launcher development, which made a difference from Germany's research direction. Now, stimulated by Germany's development of the V-2 rocket, Chu Sinan turned his attention to the technical development of rockets as a carrier. An important topic of this meeting was to form a technical development team in this area.

Of course, in addition to the development of rocket technology, there was another more important topic at this conference, and this topic was also a problem that made Chu Sinan feel contradictory in his heart. This issue is the development of nuclear weapons.

As a supreme commander of a soldier, Chu Sinan understands how much influence the atomic bomb has on future wars and peace, and also knows how dangerous this weapon is and how cruel its destructive effect on humans. There is no doubt that Chu Sinan, who has experienced the future anti-nuclear era, has completely different ideas from people of this era. In today's era, everyone considers how to produce newer weapons to kill their enemies as effectively as possible. In this kind of thinking

Under his guidance, developing atomic bombs is undoubtedly the best choice. But Chu Sinan has considered much more issues. From his heart, he never expects the emergence of nuclear weapons. He even hopes that history can change due to his appearance. Due to the early end of the war, the Americans can give up further research on this weapon. But now it seems that his expectations have failed. The Americans not only did not give up their research on this weapon, but on the contrary, their research speed has accelerated.

Among the security committee intelligence submitted by Gilnilova is the research work carried out by a large number of scientists in the United States and Britain. In this research and development project called "Manhattan Engineering Area" two years ago, the Americans and the British have invested hundreds of thousands of manpower and more than 2 billion yuan in huge funds. There is no doubt that this is an unprecedented luxury project, and it cannot escape the attention of the security committee agents. What's more, Chu Sinan issued a special order requiring the intelligence department to increase the internal penetration of the US project plan. Now, after nearly two years of infiltration, dozens of security committee intelligence personnel have successfully mixed into the research project, and in their hands, they have mastered several relevant experts who have the opportunity to directly participate in the research.

To be honest, since accepting this infiltration mission, Gilnilova has never relaxed her work. She has to personally deal with the relevant information returned from the United States every once in a while, and finally handed over the summary information to the experts she has for analysis. In the past two years, Gilnilova has united a large number of physicists and radiochemists to specialize in the research on the intelligence sent back from the United States, such as Golovin, Kuchitav, Kuchatov, Kapetcha, Alekhannosky, etc., who have been studying the achievements obtained by Americans for a long time and have developed and promoted them based on these achievements.

Just this month, according to the analysis of these experts, the Americans have completely solved a series of technical problems in the development of nuclear weapons, and the three highly enriched uranium production methods they developed have also passed the argument. Now, the Americans are stepping up the construction of an electromagnetic separation factory, and a graphite slow-down, water-cooled natural uranium reactor for making plutonium 239. According to the argument of Soviet experts, the Americans are preparing for the final creation of atomic bombs.

After reaching such a conclusion, Gilnilova dared not delay any more. Although she was not very clear about the function of the weapon developed by the Americans, those experts were the best answerers. According to those experts, the latest weapon developed by the Americans will be able to fundamentally change the future war mode, the bomb explosion produced by the fission of uranium atoms, with unprecedentedly amazing power. The data given by the experts is that the explosion energy generated by the complete fission of a kilogram of uranium is equivalent to 20 million times the energy generated by the explosion of a kilogram of smokeless explosives.

After all, he is a woman who has been on the battlefield. Gilnilova would not know how powerful the explosion of a kilogram of explosives is. What effect can it produce by amplifying this power by 20 million times? That is the explosion effect produced by 20,000 tons of explosives. At least, the entire Moscow cannot withstand even two such bombs.

In this way, Gilnilova handed over this information to Chu Sinan. She hoped that her husband could order as soon as possible to mobilize all the forces that could be mobilized in the Soviet Union and devoted himself to the work of developing his own atomic bomb. To a certain extent, this work should be taken as the top priority for the Soviet scientific research department and military department in the future period, and there is no need to relax at all.

That's it. At the military and scientific workers' representative meeting ended in early July, Chu Sinan made a series of decisions:

In order to study the Soviet Union's own long-range strategic rockets, the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Strategic Rocket Forces has added a "Strategic Rocket Force Technical Committee". The committee is chaired by the current commander-in-chief of the artillery force. The committee has three permanent bureaus: the first bureau is the Rocket Multipolar Research Bureau, and the director is Thiorkovsky. His main research direction is the research of the multipolar technology of the rocket; the second bureau is the Rocket Propulsion Technology Research Bureau, Korolev is the first director and Galshko is the second director. His main research direction is to develop the Soviet Union's own liquid rocket propulsion technology based on the stealing of the German V-2 rocket technology; the third bureau is the Intelligence Coordination and Technical Secretification Bureau, which is independent of the technical committee and is directly affiliated with the Security Committee. It is mainly responsible for the daily security and technical confidentiality work of the technical committee. The director is Kluchkov part-time.

Three months after the establishment of the "Strategic Rocket Force Technical Committee", a large number of Soviet aerodynamic experts were recruited and rushed to Moscow urgently. They were then secretly transferred and directly engaged in the development of real ballistic missiles.

Compared with the "Strategic Rocket Force Technical Committee", Chu Sinan obviously paid more attention to the development of the atomic bomb. At this meeting, Chu Sinan issued an order to establish a "Special Committee of the National Defense Commission" directly led and presided over the daily work by the Security Committee. The committee was chaired by Chu Sinan himself. In addition to him, six executive chairpersons were established in the committee. Among these six people, except for Gilnilova and Kaganovich, who had just served as Minister of the Mechanical Manufacturing Department, the remaining four were famous physicists and chemists.

According to Chu Sinan's order, this newly established "Special Committee" has almost the same status as the Security Committee. It is independent of the party, government and military management level and does not be responsible to any department other than the Security Committee of the Soviet Union. Neither the Soviet Party Committees at all levels or departments at the Joint Meeting of Ministers have the right to interfere with the daily work of the committee. At the same time, the "Special Committee" is also given the highest right to make decisions in funds and operation. In Chu Sinan's words, it is "although the country needs large-scale construction after the war and needs the supplement of state funds everywhere, in the efforts to develop nuclear weapons, we must maintain absolutely sufficient capital investment... We must ensure that the work of developing nuclear weapons will give an overwhelming priority."

Chu Sinan's instructions on the work of nuclear weapons development are very clear, that is, this work is the top priority, and there is no need to effectively ensure the smooth progress of research, so as to make nuclear weapons belonging to the Soviet Union before the United States as much as possible.

With Chu Sinan's order, the entire Soviet Union started to move, although most people didn't know what the movement was for.

In just four months, two reserve armies originally affiliated with the Western Siberian Military Region were ordered to head north and advance to Surgut, the Longgang area of ​​Siberia, Lower Valtovsk, and soon put into heavy work there. At the same time, the civilians who originally lived in these two areas began to move west under the surveillance of the army, crossed the Ob River, and moved to Serov hundreds of kilometers away. Then, a large number of Soviet experts from all walks of life began to take sealed trains to Surgut and temporarily moved into the abandoned houses.

In order to strengthen confidentiality work, the Security Committee mobilized a large number of border guard troops to station in the outer areas of Surgut and Lower Vartovsk, and was responsible for strict work. As for the two armies transferred into the martial law area to be responsible for site construction, their fate was that the number was cancelled. The soldiers of the army would stay there forever and never have the chance of demobilization in their lives.

"National interests are above everything else ￣￣Chu Sinan."

On the sentinel stone tablet at the entrance to Surgut's secret research base, this seal-carved slogan always warns the people entering and leaving the base that no information in the base can be leaked out.  ,!
