Chapter 462 The boat of friendship
"Mr. Weizmann, I wish you a happy journey."
"Thanks."
Professor Haim Weizmann smiled and took his passport from a British customs officer at Liverpool Port. Then he nodded at an assistant beside him and said, "James, let's get on the boat."
"Okay, professor."
A man named James is about 40 years old. He looks like an absolute British gentleman. He is an assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Manchester. He just became Professor Weizmann's laboratory assistant not long ago. However, Professor Weizmann is very aware that his new assistant has a background, either MI5 or MI6, he was sent to monitor Professor Weizmann.
However, Professor Weizmann has a very good understanding of such surveillance, because he is a person who should be firmly monitored. He has always had two identities, a famous chemist and a leader of the Zion movement!
Unlike the choice of another Zionist scientist Einstein of this era, Weitzmann has always stayed in Britain and followed the British Empire route. He not only actively worked among the upper class of Britain to seek support, but also contributed to the war machine of the British Empire. During World War I, he studied smokeless explosives for the British, and now he develops high-octane gasoline for Britain.
In addition, he was also a pro-British leader in the Zionist movement. After the beginning of World War II, he delivered speeches on radio to Germany more than once, calling on European Jewish scientists not to work for the German Empire. Moreover, he repeatedly called on Palestinian Jewish autonomous organizations to obey the leadership of the British Empire and jointly fight against the German and Italian invaders.
His attitude of course won the favor of the British, which was also the reason why he was able to frequently interact between Britain and the United States during the war. However, this trust changed significantly after the German and Italian coalition won the Battle of the Mediterranean.
Now not only most of the Jews are under Germany's control, but even the homeland of the Jews' hearts Palestine is about to fall into Germany's hands.
If Professor Haim Weizmann was really a Zionist, he should have defected to Germany, and he could only seek refuge in Germany.
But Professor Haim Weizmann showed no sign of seeking a trip to Germany. Just a few days ago, he developed an additive for the UK that could increase the octane number of gasoline for the octane.
Today he is going to take an American cruise to the United States to discuss synthetic rubber technology with several colleagues. Although the United Kingdom and the United States are not short of rubber now, Japan's threat to Southeast Asian rubber production areas is well-known, so British and American chemists have begun to study synthetic rubber.
Professor Haim Weizmann is an expert in this field, so the British government did not stop him from going abroad. After all, Professor Weizmann was on an American cruise ship, and there were British agents following him, so he probably couldn't escape.
Just when Professor Weizman boarded the American cruise ship called the "Princess Mississippi", he was parked on a berth next to the "Princess Mississippi", which was flying the Swedish flag. The destination of this "Princess Gothenburg" is also the United States, and it happened very coincidentally. The time it left Liverpool Port was very close to the time when the "Princess Mississippi" left, almost in front and back.
"Col. Schrenberg, can you be completely sure that the professor got on the 'Mississippi Princess'?"
In the captain's cabin of the "Gothenburg", Captain Correspondent Correspondent Correspondent Valt Schrenberg of the German Central Security Agency closed the door and talked in a secret manner. This Colonel Cort. Correspondent was not a Swedish colonel, but a genuine German Wehrmacht naval colonel.
Before taking over the Gothenburg, he was the captain of an auxiliary cruiser (a camouflaged attack ship), and sank 10 British merchant ships on the Atlantic Ocean, and received the Knight's Iron Cross. After completing a one-year maritime mission, he became the captain of the Gothenburg, a registered intelligence collection ship in Sweden.
The so-called "intelligence collection ship" is used as the name suggests to collect intelligence. Because under the banner of the neutral country Sweden, this cruise ship can enter and exit the ports of Britain and Canada in a noble manner, and can also sail openly on the North Atlantic route. Sometimes it can follow the buttocks of the British escort ship and send their coordinates to Wilhelmshaven German submarine headquarters in telegram (clear code).
In order to better disguise itself, this "Gothenburg" had several times when it launched an attack on the German submarine and salvaged the British crew members who fell into the water and sent them safely to British or American ports. Therefore, this "Gothenburg" was also on the "List of Good People" of the British Royal Navy, and every time it entered and exited the British port, it would receive some preferential treatment and convenience.
However, today the "Gothenburg" is not following the British fleet, but an American merchant ship.
"It's totally certain!" Valt Schrenberg replied, "Send a telegram to the headquarters now."
"Okay." Colonel Cort. Weihe nodded, "so that we can hurt it in the waters near the Azores!"
Yes, it is to hurt! Injure an American merchant ship! Although it is a bit risky, it is the only way to quickly "rescue" Professor Weizmann, who is firmly cared for by the British.
This Haim Weizmann is really an important figure. Not only does he have the formula for high-octane gasoline that Germany needs, he is also one of the most important leaders of the Zionist movement and the best candidate for the president of Israel.
The State of Israel is very important to Germany now! Germany's current policy towards European Jews is to let them have their own country, but it is not to drive them away from Europe immediately. Because it is millions of hard-working and very capable laborers, and there are many scientists like Professor Weizmann. Germany needs them to work hard, but it cannot make all of them Germans, so it needs to create a motherland for them. The Jewish motherland must be firmly controlled by Germany!
"There won't be any surprises?" asked Valt Schrenberg. "Can your submarine catch this American cruise ship? This kind of cruise ship is very fast, right?"
"No problem," said Colonel Corte Wiech, "we also prepared seaplanes, which took off from Spain. If the submarine attack does not work, the seaplane will attack."
Before the Battle of the Mediterranean, it was impossible for German seaplanes to take off from Spain. However, the situation is different now. Although Franco has not finally agreed to join the war, he has agreed to let German seaplanes and submarines use the port of Galicia (near the Atlantic Ocean). Therefore, the torpedoed he-115 seaplanes can be operated near the Azores.
"I won't sink the American ship, will I?" Valt Schrenberg asked with some concern.
The American cruise ship was injured, and then the "Gothenburg" went to save the person. By the way, the plan to abduct Professor Weizmann was designed by Schrenberg. Because he was afraid of triggering a war with the United States, Schrenberg did not dare to sink the American ship, and only dared to injure him.
"There will be no problem, everything has been arranged." Colonel Cort. Weich stood up, tidied up his military uniform, and then smiled and said to Schrenberg, "Don't worry, Professor Weizmann will definitely fall into our hands before tomorrow dark."
...
"Mr. Gurion, Professor Weizmann will definitely arrive in Alexander safely, and will arrive the day after tomorrow."
The plan to "rescue" the future president of Israel was approved by Hessman himself. Now he is still in Alexandria, Egypt, and he lives in the original British consulate. This is a very grand and solemn house, which shows the glorious and prosperous British Empire everywhere. However, now the ten thousand-character flag of the German Empire is hung here.
This afternoon, the future Prime Minister of Israel, Ben Gurion, who looks strange in hairstyle, and Michel Affrak, the leader of the Arab Revival Movement, were invited to come over at the same time. Of course, it was for the two interconnected events of Zion and Arab Revival.
"Mr. Aphrak, you should sit down too." Hessman smiled and greeted Michel Aphrak with a somewhat ugly face. "I would like to come here today to tell you about the restoration of the Jews and the independence of Syria. This is Mr. Gurion, the chairman of the Zionist Executive Committee, and will soon become the independent Prime Minister of the State of Israel. Mr. Gurion, the leader of the Arab Revival Movement, I think he will be elected as Prime Minister of the independent Syrian Republic. I hope that the two of them can become good friends in the future so as to further promote the traditional friendship between Israel and Syria."
Do Arabs and Jews have traditional friendship? Aphrak and Gurion looked at each other and shook hands politely. It seems that there is still hope for peaceful coexistence between the two countries in the future.
However, it doesn’t matter if the Jews and Arabs can’t get along. Fighting the Arab-Israel war a few more times will make you better. If you don’t fight, you won’t know each other!
Hessman nodded with a smile and said, "I hope today will be a historic moment and the beginning of the Arab and Jewish nations becoming friendly neighbors again after more than a thousand years of separation."
