I asked you to escape, but you became a soldier in World War II

Chapter 137 Three Conditions
Lin Chen never expected that the content described in the letter from Colonel Sprantz was actually true. From this perspective, he really saved his life.

"I dare not call myself the King of Soldiers. My code name is 'Ghost'." Lin Chen answered modestly. After all, they are a long-established European power, so naturally they have many experts. If they dare to talk about being the King of Soldiers here, wouldn't that be a joke?

"Haha, Mr. Ghost is too modest. We know you. You participated in the Battle of Stalingrad and later went to the United States to perform special missions. The U.S. military has paid special attention to you!"

Major General Richard’s words shocked Lin Chen. Why was the United States paying attention to him?
"This is Rear Admiral Charlie of the British Royal Navy. He was stunned by the report from his captain William. It is said that you know sonar and medical treatment? This is really amazing."

Rear Admiral Charlie added, "Thanks to you this time, otherwise our Royal Navy would have lost another new submarine, and dozens of families would have lost their beloved sons and fathers."

"It's nothing. I am grateful for your country's assistance this time. Otherwise, I would probably die in a foreign country."

After a few brief polite words, Major General Richard finally got to the point.

"You really didn't get the German nuclear weapons information?"

"Yes, just a pile of white paper. It's a pity that we sacrificed almost an entire special operations team for this." Lin Chen has not yet come out of his grief. This meaningless action is really ridiculous.

"Can you tell me about your entire operation process?" Major General Richard asked an extremely inappropriate question.

Although we are allies, these questions involve state secrets and obviously cannot be answered casually.

Richard seemed to see Lin Chen's worry, so he smiled and added, "We have contacted your General Petrov, and he agrees that you cooperate with us."

Lin Chen thought for a moment and asked, "Can I use your army's radio to contact the General Staff Headquarters to confirm this matter?"

The matter was of great importance. If the British had deceived him, he would be the biggest fool in the world and would be listed as a traitor by the Soviet Union.

"Okay, the telecommunications room is next door to us," Major General Charlie pressed the bell on the table, and immediately a sexy female secretary in a short skirt came in and led Lin Chen over.

Lin Chen quickly contacted the headquarters and informed them of the operation in great detail.

The other party replied quickly, with only a few short words on the telegram: Got it, cooperate with the British army.

Now it was Lin Chen's turn to be dumbfounded. That's it?

How could the Soviet intelligence service share intelligence so easily and generously?
When he returned to the office next door, Major General Richard seemed to have anticipated all this. "Well, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Lin Chen smiled bitterly. After a little thought, he figured out the key. It was nothing more than that they believed that Lin Chen and his team had sold the research data of nuclear weapons to Britain. Now that nothing could be changed, they might as well do a favor and ask for more benefits from Britain.

"Did they sell me out?" Lin Chen also decided to speak frankly.

"It's not a sale, but they do need us to provide some resources and equipment." Major General Richard also responded, but stopped there. This topic is too sensitive.

Lin Chen stopped asking. Since the other party already thought so, there was no point in continuing to dwell on this issue.

"Okay, how do I cooperate?"

"My other identity is the deputy director of the British MI6. We need to know the structure and performance of Germany's U-boats, as well as the progress of Germany's nuclear weapons development and the situation of its factories in Norway."

His expression became very serious. "Of course, if you are willing to tell me other information, I would be very happy too. We will give you corresponding conditions. We can discuss it."

Lin Chen understood that the "others" referred to the Soviet military intelligence, which he would definitely not tell anyone, as these had already exceeded his bottom line as a human being.

The next content was to move to an office next door, where there were special inquiries. Lin Chen told everything he knew about the German army.

Although the other party was also very surprised, he still took careful and detailed notes.

It lasted all day and ended near dusk. Major General Richard was obviously very satisfied with the information and provided Lin Chen and his team with a sumptuous dinner.

He himself needed to take this information and report to the Prime Minister's residence overnight.

The next morning, Major General Richard rushed over with his assistants.

"Captain Lin Chen, I reported your situation to the Prime Minister yesterday. The Prime Minister took it very seriously. After discussion, I have a humble request."

Hearing Richard say this, Lin Chen suddenly felt that something was wrong. Any "unwelcome request" after meeting the Prime Minister would basically be very troublesome.

Although Lin Chen did not answer, Richard continued, "We need to send a bomber force to bomb the German atomic bomb research base, at least to prevent it from being able to develop it before we completely destroy the German military power."

Fuck,

Lin Chen really wanted to curse. Go bombing now? In 1943, Germany's air defense was ridiculously strong, and the loss rate of the bomber units was shockingly high.

"We know it's a bit presumptuous to ask you to go, but Sprantz strongly recommended you, saying that with you there, many impossible things would become possible. The most important point is that you are more familiar with this factory, and our previous aerial reconnaissance of that area was never very thorough because the clouds there were too thick."

"The clouds are very thick, so I won't be able to tell them apart even if I go there." Lin Chen was speechless.

"So our meteorological department detected that there will be one or two sunny days in the next few days, which is more suitable for bombing."

"I do have a better understanding of the situation there. As far as I know, its strength is beyond our imagination. Our ordinary aviation bombs can't cause any substantial damage to it." Lin Chen emphasized again. In a word, he really didn't want to go.

I was lucky this time and a submarine came to rescue me, but what if I get shot down again next time?
Not to mention the extremely low survival rate of skydiving, even if the landing is successful, it is easy to be surrounded and attacked by enemy forces on the ground.

"This time we are not relying on the strength of our Royal Air Force, but on the First Bomber Wing of the Eighth Air Force of the United States. This strategic bombing force has the most advanced B17 long-range strategic bombers, and we are equipped with super-heavy aerial bombs, which are enough to deal a devastating blow to this base in Germany!"

Lin Chen sneered in his heart. B17? Although this type of aircraft made great contributions in the skies over Germany, it also suffered heavy casualties. In his previous life, Lin Chen had seen a very famous movie "Memphis Belle", which was about this, wasn't it? "Don't you want to know about Colonel Sprantz's situation?" Richard saw that Lin Chen was very resistant and changed his mind.

"How is he?" Lin Chen actually had some good feelings towards Sprantz. Besides, since he was able to escape this time, he owed him a life, otherwise he would have been in great danger.

"Because of your actions, he was detained by the German military high command and handed over to the German military court. We are trying to rescue him. He is an outstanding German who has always worked hard for world peace."

Richard's words sounded high-sounding, but Lin Chen chose to remain silent.

"Even if you don't consider Splanz, you should respect the opinions of your great Soviet High Command, right?"

"Do they also support me to go?" Lin Chen was finally a little shaken.

Richard smiled proudly, "Yes, we have provided a lot of military assistance to the Soviet Union for this, and you only need to help us fly once. Besides, we are going to Norway this time, not Germany, so it will be much easier!"

Under Richard's carrot and stick lobbying, although Lin Chen knew that the other party was talking nonsense, there was nothing he could do. Did he have any choice?
From the moment Richard walked in, she had no choice but to do what she wanted. The reason why he kept refusing was simply to gain some favorable conditions for himself.

"If you must let me go, I have three conditions." Lin Chen finally gave in.

"You tell me!" Major General Richard was full of confidence. Usually, when encountering such a situation, the other party would ask for a certain amount of gold or beauties, and that was not a problem. Now was a time of war, and even gold might not be spent.

"First, my companions and I want American citizenship and military status, even if the rank is lower."

Richard was a little surprised. What was the purpose of this? But he thought it was not a big deal. It was just a nationality.

Although it is not easy to obtain American citizenship and military status, it is a wartime period, so special matters should be handled specially! With the current relationship between Britain and the United States, this is not a big problem. So he promised to get it done for Lin Chen before he took off, but it was unclear what military rank he could apply for.

"Second, if you must let me go, please let me choose the crew myself!"

"Okay! I'll coordinate this!" Richard felt that compared to the first condition, the second one was simply a piece of cake.

"Third, I want to learn how to fly!" Lin Chen put forward the last condition.

"What? Mr. Lin Chen, did I hear it right?" Richard felt that Lin Chen must be crazy.

"You heard me right, I just want to learn how to fly!"

"To be honest with you, we only have about a week in total, and at most 10 days of preparation period. How can we learn to fly in such a short time? This is something that no one can do! Mr. Lin Chen, you don't think that just because you can skydive, you can definitely fly a plane, right?" Richard felt that Lin Chen was too arrogant.

"I know this is difficult, but I still want to give it a try. Let's put it this way. Whether I learn it or not will be my own business. Even if I can't learn it, I will think that you have fulfilled the third condition, and the agreement between us will still be valid."

Richard looked at Lin Chen and finally compromised. Although he didn't know why this crazy guy did this, since he was determined to suffer, there was nothing he could do.

"So what type of aircraft do you want to learn? The easiest one is definitely a biplane trainer."

"No, I want to learn fighter jets!" Lin Chen's idea was very simple, either don't learn it, or learn the most difficult one.

"You asked for it yourself. I hope you won't get upset in the air. This will damage the great friendship between the allies!" Before leaving, Richard said something that made Lin Chen laugh and cry.

In his opinion, fighter pilots are the most difficult to fly among all aircraft types, and generally only the most outstanding pilots will fly this type. However, once you have learned to fly a fighter, other aircraft types are generally easier to master.

But in his opinion, this was totally unrealistic. He also grew up step by step from the aviation force and knew too well how difficult it was to become a fighter pilot.

After a long sigh, he shook his head and left.

In fact, the three conditions proposed by Lin Chen were all well considered.

The first condition was that since the Soviet high-ranking officials were already dissatisfied with him, and this misunderstanding would be difficult to explain, he could simply change his nationality, since he was not a genuine Soviet citizen anyway. Alekhine had no choice at all, unless he did not want to live.

The second condition was that he wanted to choose the first crew in the entire bombing operation to retire after completing 25 flight missions. Yes, that's right, it was the legendary "Memphis Belle" bomber. This way, his life would definitely not be in danger.

The third condition is even simpler, because just now, my system prompted that LV3 has been upgraded to LV4, and the reward given this time is the ability to quickly learn to fly.

Since there is a system to support you, why not learn the most difficult one? If you can fly, many things will be much easier in the future.

When he told Alekhine his thoughts and the content of the conversation, Alekhine was so surprised that he couldn't say a word for a long time. In the end, he just raised his thumb and said tremblingly, "Awesome."

In fact, he didn't have any good choice. From the moment he followed Lin Chen to England, he was destined to share the fate of Lin Chen.

But he definitely has no way of learning to fly, so he still knows his own limitations.

But he decided to be Lin Chen's orderly. After all, he didn't have many friends here and he couldn't speak the language.

"Alekhine, you need an English cram school. You can't get by without English here. If you can speak English, Russian and German, you will become a very scarce translator, which is a very important skill to make a living."

Lin Chen had already considered it for Alekhin. If he had to deal with the US military in the future, how could he not speak English? When the US military uniforms were delivered, Alekhin could not understand the orders of his superiors?
This is so funny!
Alyohin thought about it for a while and had no choice but to agree. He had nothing to do here anyway, so he might as well attend English classes to recharge himself.

My captain is so strong that I have to catch up with him.

Don’t complain about why you have to become an American citizen, because if you want to go to the Pacific Ocean in the future and don’t solve this problem, it will be impossible for Lin Chen to operate America’s advanced weapons.
