Spy Wars: I can get rewards by being a bully!

Chapter 965: Continue to cooperate with Gross

As the weather warms up, construction at the port site is further accelerated.

After the completion of the onshore infrastructure project, the remaining tasks are more difficult. For the dredging work alone, it is unknown how many people will have to go down into the icy sea water. Fortunately, there are some mechanical equipment to cooperate, which greatly reduces the difficulty of the workers' work.

Lin Ze would inspect from time to time to ensure that the workers' labor protection was up to standard.

Now the United States’ source of supplies is basically cut off. Even if there are occasionally a few small boats carrying supplies, most of them are smuggled.

Lin Ze once again set his sights on the Germans as the scapegoats.

Thanks to the intelligence and material cooperation with Lin Ze, the current head of the German consulate, Gross, has been promoted to Consul General of the German Far East, and has become the spokesperson for Germany's interests in the Far East. Out of "respect" for their allies, the Japanese attach great importance to Gross. Even the old Japanese Okamura has met him in person and was very polite when talking to him. The headquarters even invited him to visit Tokyo.

This change in status greatly satisfied Gross's vanity. While he was very happy, he did not forget Lin Ze's help to him.

Sometimes he would send someone to deliver some small gifts, such as pork knuckles and beer, and sometimes he would go to the gendarmerie headquarters in person to have a drink or two with Lin Ze and chat.

Of course, he also made a lot of money from his material cooperation with Lin Ze.

That morning, Lin Ze called the German consulate.

"Mr. Gross, the sun is shining brightly today. Come to the headquarters. We can enjoy lunch and a couple of drinks on the balcony."

Gross's voice sounded deep on the other end of the line. "I'm sorry, Lin. I'd love to see you, but the situation isn't good. I have too many things to deal with."

Lin Ze almost laughed out loud.

The situation is not just bad, it is extremely bad!

At the end of last year, Germany mobilized nearly two million people, nearly two thousand tanks, and more than ten thousand artillery pieces to implement their Typhoon plan.

Operation Typhoon was what the Germans called it, while the big brother in the north called this battle the Battle of Meaux or the Defense of Meaux.

At the beginning, Germany won victory after victory, even annihilating more than 600,000 people in the Vyazma area.

Lin Ze still remembered that Gross came to him for a drink, and after getting drunk he even clamored that they, Germany, would divide the territory of the northern Russian bear into several administrative areas, and if nothing unexpected happened, he, Gross, would become the governor of the Far East. By then, even the emperor would have to be polite when he met him!

The battle at that time really shocked the whole world. Even the Japanese headquarters was urgently discussing whether the Russian bear was really finished and whether it was still too late for them to send the Kwantung Army to attack!

For this purpose, Okamura even called Lin Ze to discuss the matter.

Who would have thought that the course of the war would soon become dramatic.

On the Russian side, Zhukov reorganized the Western Front and sent out a large number of death squads to frantically destroy the logistics of the German army.

At the same time, countless women were organized to build fortifications in the outer city of Mo.

The Russians were fully mobilized and carried out the largest material transfer operation in history, transferring more than one million railway cars of equipment and materials.

This resulted in the fact that although Germany "occupied" a large amount of land, these new territories not only failed to provide them with local supplies, but instead became a source of pressure on their logistical supply lines.

When winter comes, all problems are magnified.

Last November, after the famous Red Square parade, the Soviet Union launched a counterattack and finally broke through Germany's on-site defense positions, pushing it back more than 200 kilometers. By this time, Germany's Typhoon plan had obviously failed.

Immediately afterwards, the Soviet Union launched a series of counterattack plans on various battlefields, and Germany found it difficult to cope with them.

Gross no longer dreamed of becoming governor, but instead contacted the Japanese every day.

Can you send troops?

Can you send troops to the Far East?

At this time, the headquarters’ attitude was: Of course not, we have signed an agreement with the Russian bear!

Gross was so angry that he kept cursing, "Damn it, you guys are abiding by the agreement now!"

On the phone, Lin Ze comforted him, "Mr. Gross, don't worry, things will be fine. No, I called you to tell you some good news!"

Gross said dejectedly, "Lin, good news? I haven't heard any good news in months! We're out of supplies, and even if we did, we can't get them shipped. Our path to prosperity is ruined! Our army is losing ground in the ice and snow. Damn it, are we really going to fail?"

"Mr. Gross, I've got a new drug that I think you might be interested in. It's worth as much as gold. Coincidentally, your country has a lot of gold, doesn't it?"

Germany does have a lot of gold, but where did it come from?

Gross finally became interested. "Medicine?"

"Yes, a drug that has never appeared before, and also intelligence that the Russian army is about to launch an offensive in the Kharkov area."

Gross's breathing quickened. "I'll be there soon!"

He really arrived very quickly. Almost as soon as he hung up the phone, he asked someone to prepare a car to go to the headquarters. The two places were not far apart, and he arrived in just over ten minutes.

Lin Ze gave him a cup of black tea, "This is black tea produced in Fujian Province. It's better than anything you've had before."

How could Gross even be in the mood to drink tea?

"The Russian bear is going to launch a counterattack in the Kharkov area?"

Lin Ze also turned serious. "Kharkov has their largest tank production plant, as well as aircraft and turbine factories. Your logistics are under pressure, and theirs are under pressure too. The weapons of those new recruits are pathetic, and they don't even have enough ammunition. Of course, they hope to make a breakthrough in the Kharkov area."

"Whose troops will carry out this counterattack?"

"Tiemuzin has been ordered to train a unit. Since last winter's counteroffensive, the Russians have formed a salient in this area. He intends to use this salient to launch an offensive, targeting your Sixth Army."

Gross is numb!

How on earth did you know that?

"Lin, what do you want?"

"Gross, we're friends. Talking about money is too hurtful. If you could send me some engineers or some port construction equipment, that would be great. Your engineering expertise is very trustworthy."

Lin Ze suddenly thought that Yilin would not have new materials in the future!

After the island city’s sewers, will Tianjin’s port also be talked about by those colonists?

Gross waved his hand. "That's nothing. I can find you the right people and equipment from several German trading companies in Shanghai. Also, what kind of medicine are you talking about?"
