MTL - USSR 1941-Chapter 788 National Committee

  Chapter 788 National Committee

   Shulka is not surprised by this, because the problems of scientific research and intelligence are usually divided into two aspects, one is the problem of scientific projects, and the other is the problem of military affairs.

   What scientists discuss is of course scientific, and they don't need to know about military issues.

  But Beria asked before leaving: "I want to know, if this kind of equipment is possible, then... can we also develop this kind of equipment?"

   Kurchatov hesitated for a while, then replied: "It is possible, Comrade Beria! However, our progress may lag far behind the enemy."

   This is of course, after all, the Germans have an innovative advantage. They may have started researching this equipment a few years ago, and now they are already flying test flights and can be put into the battlefield.

  If the Soviet Union starts research and development now, it will take a few years to follow the old path of the Germans without accident... This is still under the premise that Soviet scientists are as good as German scientists.

   So, Kurchatov's answer doesn't make much sense militarily, because there is no equipment worth waiting for years, after which the war is already over.

   "If we could get some data..." Beria asked.

   "Of course!" Kurchatov replied without thinking: "If relevant data can be obtained, it will considerably shorten the research and development time!"

   Beria nodded and took Akadievich away. After a while, Akadievich returned and waved to Shulka.

  Beria didn't order before, and Akadyevich didn't dare to let Shulka follow him until Beria confessed.

In fact, they didn't go very far. They were only separated by a few rooms in another smaller conference room. There were more than a dozen military officers sitting in the conference room. It was different from the meeting with the scientists just now. Here Appear formal and disciplined.

  It was only later that Shulka found out that what was present was actually the National Security Council National Committee.

The so-called National Security Council National Committee refers to the 15 to 17 people who hold important positions in the National Security Bureau. In principle, they hold a regular meeting every month to decide important affairs in the National Security Bureau. .

  Shuerka found a seat at the end of the seat under the signal of Akadievich.

"Things are already clear!" Beria said: "Scientists have basically confirmed the speculation about this 'small plane', or we can no longer call it a 'small plane', but should be a bomb, a A bomb with an extremely long range!"

   There was a discussion in the conference room.

   "Comrade Shulka!" Beria turned his gaze to Shulka: "Please introduce the power of this ultra-long-range bomb, please? To prevent my subordinates from continuing to ask some stupid questions without knowing it!"

   Obviously, Beria doesn't like to waste time, and being a smart person, he doesn't want to repeat the comments that doubt the role of V1 missiles.

   "Of course, Comrade Beria!" Shulka replied.

   Then Shulka recounted his "guess" about the performance of the V1 missile.

   "It's just your guess, isn't it?" a major general asked.

   "Yes!" Shulka replied.

   "Why did you draw such a conclusion?" The major general held the photo and said with an incredulous expression, "Only one photo?"

   Shulka was speechless.

  Because the facts are indeed as the major general said, it is unbelievable to deduce the performance and function of the V1 missile from just one photo.

  But at this time Beria took over the topic: "Comrade Mironovich, do you have any doubts about this?"

   "Yes, Comrade Beria!" Mironovich replied: "If everything is based on speculation, I fear we will go down a wrong path and pay for it!"

   "Then!" Beria replied, "Do you mean we do nothing?"

   "No, of course not..."

   "Can you give a more reasonable explanation?" Beria asked again: "Even if it's a guess!"

  No matter how stupid Mironovich was, he could hear the tendency in Beria's words at this time, so he was too frightened to say anything more.

   "Can you?" Beria asked again.

   "No, Comrade Beria!" replied Mironovich.

"If not!" Beria replied: "Then we should treat it as real instead of guessing. Because, just like we guessed wrong, it is just a waste of manpower, material resources, or time, but if If we guess right and do nothing, then a disaster awaits us, understand? Disaster!"

After a pause, Beria looked at the photo in his hand and added: "So, the issue we want to discuss is no longer what this thing is or what it can do, but how to deal with the possible damage caused by this equipment. crisis, understand? We should even assume that the Germans will use it on the battlefield tomorrow, and there is nothing we can do about it!"

   It is obvious that Beria is correct, because there is a saying that "do not fight unprepared wars", and the Soviet Union should be prepared.

   But what preparations can there be?

  The officers in the conference room were talking about it.

   "I suggest!" Akadyevich stood up and said, "As we prepared before, contact the guerrillas to destroy the enemy's scientific research base!"

   There are quite a few people in favor.

   "Comrade Shulka, what do you think?" Beria asked.

"I don't think this will solve the problem!" Shulka replied: "As Comrade Kurchatov said, if the German research on this bomb has reached the stage of test flight, I have reason to believe that this bomb has already been tested. It has matured, and it is obvious that the Germans will also back up the data! So, let alone whether the guerrillas have the ability to break through this secret scientific research base, even if they did, it would really prevent the Germans from developing this Equipped?"

   "But at least doing so can delay its research and development progress!" Akadyevich said: "If we occupy that scientific research base, if we are lucky, we can still obtain useful data!"

"Can the guerrillas do this?" Shulka asked back: "If this scientific research base is so important, it will not be as simple as it seems on the surface! The guerrillas' attacks are more likely to return without success. As for the data ...the Germans had plenty of time to destroy it!"

  When Shurka said this, everyone fell silent, because they knew what Shurka said was right, and the enemy had no reason to neglect such an important scientific research base.

   After a while, Beria ordered: "Send someone to Penaminder, we need to learn more about this scientific research base!"
