"You said, I'm listening." Hoffman dispelled Spel's concerns in time.

"This project is located in Calais, France. It is said to be a secret project led by the Army. However, General Leaf, the Army Weapons Bureau, said he did not know about this project at all. Later, I learned that it was ordered by the Head of State. Recently, this project has put forward a large number of resource requirements... The main purpose of this project is to create super cannons and fire shells into London. There are similar projects in the Penemide base. Can their current priority be reduced?" According to Sperer's original intention, he wanted to cancel one of them, but he was not sure about Hoffman's attitude. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he decided to hand over the conflict first.

As soon as the other party reminded him, Hoffman finally understood what this inexplicable project was - this is a high-pressure, multi-knot, long-range cannon, code-named V3 cannon (the third revenge weapon). This high-pressure cannon with high hopes is simply a whimsical project. It is difficult to achieve technically and no major power has successfully studied it in history. He waved his hand and said bluntly: "I was deceived by those scientists. This is simply an out of reach project. There is no need to adjust the priority and all the personnel and resources to serve it are used in other aspects. The priority of existing projects in Penemide remains unchanged."

"As you wish." Sperer made a cross on the file. He disliked these independent projects from the bottom of his heart and were not controlled by the military department. If the other party had not uttered the "will of the head of state" and had it been cut off with one touch, the head of state had now uttered the slap. Now that the head of state had stopped it in person, it would have saved a lot of trouble.

Another fantasy project broke out in Hoffman's memory, that is "Operation Ulannus": the Air Force specially established a secret agency called "Blaster Research Room-13" for research and manufacturing secret aircraft, with the main attack direction being a flying saucer.

"Go to the Air Force Technical Bureau to learn about the situation. If there is really this project, you can stop. In the future, unrealistic fantasy works such as UFOs, Flying Wings, Asymmetry, forward sweeping wings, catamarans, etc. will not be developed. If you have this energy and resources, it is better to study the jets I gave them earlier. What I need is a new weapon that can guarantee the victory of the war, not science fiction." Hoffman reiterated the principle.

"The Wartime Institutional Committee should investigate all projects that require government-allocated resources. Any projects that are not registered - whether with my consent or not, will not be approved. There are only two people who have the highest right to approve the project." Hoffman pointed at Spelle and pointed at himself, "You and me."

Sper nodded gratefully: "Thank you for your trust."

"The second question." Although Sperl still seemed cautious in the head of the bulletproof Mercedes-Benz 770K car. He turned his head and looked around to ensure that the sound insulation facilities were operating normally. He said in a low voice, "The super bomb project you and I talked about. I had already communicated with Professor Heisenberg not long ago. He said that for the chain reaction, there must be at least a minimum amount of radioactive materials. He called it..."

"Uranium 235!" Now Hoffman understood why Spelle was so careful.

"Yes, that's the term." Speer continued, "The professor thought it would take at least a few tons to build a super bomb, but it was difficult to produce it in a short period of time due to technical reasons. Therefore, he believed that it was impossible to complete the project during the war, and he insisted that the level of research in the empire was still in the world's leading position, and if we could not create it, the Americans would not. The professor was very sure of this, and he only applied for a budget of 350,000 Imperial Mark for theoretical research."

"I have the exact information and know that Americans are also studying super bombs. They call it the 'Manhattan Project', and the chief scientists are Einstein and Fermi." Hoffman thought about the atomic bomb carefully and said slowly. "The US government allocated more than $3 billion to conduct project research and refining uranium 235 elements. The entire engineering service staff is as high as 20,000. Because American research shows that the demand for uranium 235 to make super bombs is not a few tons, only a few dozen kilograms. In addition, the speed reducer they selected is not heavy water but graphite. Please let Professor Heisenberg recalculate and prove it with the highest degree of scientific and rigorous spirit, and be sure to tell him clearly that if we cannot make such super bombs, the Americans will drop bombs on our heads in the future, and our people and descendants will live in this horror for generations."

Speer smiled bitterly: "You know that these scholars are stubborn people, and Professor Heisenberg is even more authoritative. What should they do if they can't listen?"

"They will listen." Hoffman said seriously, "For the sake of the great cause of the German nation, they must listen. Of course, you should change your working methods and let other scholars repeat the process separately when you ask Professor Heisenberg to recalculate it - it is impossible for everyone to make the same mistake. They just blindly believe in authority. Grant 500 million marks to this project, and include it in the highest confidentiality and priority level, so that they can build the uranium 235 refinery factory first, regardless of whether it is a few tons or dozens of kilograms. We must have it first."

"Okay, I will."

"I hope the professors can correct their mistakes in time. After a while, I can communicate with them again after the latest information in the United States comes." Of course, Hoffman didn't know how to build an atomic bomb, but at least he had learned it in a middle school physics textbook. He decided to recall the principles and schematics mentioned in the textbook to give full play to the greatest advantage of time travelers.

Spel's eyes shined: "It would be great if that, we can't fall behind the Americans anyway."

Hoffman originally thought he had finished speaking, and was about to close his eyes and rest for a while, but he didn't expect that the other party asked another big problem.

Sper's face was a little solemn, and seemed a little sorry. After careful consideration of the sentence, he said: "There is one thing that needs to be troubled by the head of state. After emergency resource statistics, the resources required by other wars currently have reliable sources or sufficient reserves. However, the reserves and subsequent supply of tungsten ore encountered great challenges. The tungsten ore obtained from the China Exchange a few years ago were almost out. Recently, the supply of tungsten ore purchased from Spain and Portugal was very unstable. Not only did the price rise sharply, but it rose to more than 10 times last year, but the quantity also decreased. Americans are buying in large quantities. Can the head of state ask the head of state to come forward and communicate with Marshal Franco, Spain, and let him ensure the supply of tungsten. Because not only arms manufacturing, our high-quality machine tool steel also requires a large amount of tungsten. In addition, you are preparing to vigorously develop the electronics industry (electronic tubes require tungsten), the gap will become more and more serious."

The shortage of tungsten ore has lasted for several months, otherwise Hitler would not have personally ordered the use of conical cannons when designing the new tank, because it would require a lot of tungsten ore. The problem now is how to negotiate with Spain. He has the closest relationship with Franco and the person with the best personal relationship is Canaris. At the beginning, under the dissuasion of his friends, Franco refused Hitler's request to capture Gibraltar, and Sperer also knew this. Although the news of Canaris' arrest was still blocked, Franco, who had great magical powers, already knew the situation. At this sensitive moment, he was unwilling to get into trouble. After thinking about it, the only way was to ask the head of state to come forward in person.

"What do you think of Franco?" Hoffmann looked very bad, complaining to the Spanish dictator, and scolded him, "It's a bit too selfish. We provided him with so much help during the civil war, whether it was arms, supplies or troops, almost everything he asked for. His position was held by the Italian leader and I joined hands. Now he turned around and asked for a price everywhere. He thought that a mere blue division could repay our help to him. What a bastard! If we were not on the opposite side of Britain and the United States, could he be able to get along with these big powers? Neutral? Don't look at what kind of clown character he is."

While accompanying Hoffman to scold Franco, Sperl carefully beat the edge around the tungsten mine. No matter what, he hopes that the head of state can lower his figure and communicate with the dictator once. He is familiar with the head of state's temper: at this time, he can only vent his anger by scolding the other party. After the scolding, he will still bow to the Spaniards. When the Italian leader Mussolini was annexed Austria, he also put forward unrealistic demands, which made the head of state furious. Later, after paying the price of compromise, he still successfully coordinated.

He waited quietly, waiting for the head of state to scold him and then provide a step that would allow the other party to step down decently after he was tired.

Unexpectedly, Hoffman cursed for a few words and then closed his mouth, his eyes flashed, and he waved indifferently: "I will negotiate with the Spanish head of state, but the solution to the tungsten mine problem cannot rely on the Spanish's will do whatever they want, otherwise they will always put the noose on our heads, and we must have another solution."
