The decisive battle against the Third Reich

"Finally, Your Excellency the Head of State..." Qin Chuan said to Hitler: "We need you to show your full support to Greece. You know, the British intelligence department is pervasive, so meetings, telegrams, and even conversations with staff, etc. Wait until we launch a counterattack!"

Hitler smiled and nodded: "Yes, the British have carefully designed a trap for us. Now, it is time for us to respond!"

Then Hitler held Qin Chuan's hand and said: "Very good plan, Captain, very good plan! The next step is to implement it firmly and wait for victory!"

Finally, Hitler asked Canaris and Ronner to personally send Rommel and Qin Chuan to the plane.

You can imagine how Canaris felt at that time... But even though he was very unhappy inside, he still wanted to show gratitude on the outside.

"It's unimaginable!" Canaris said to Rommel: "Thanks to the captain for finding the flaw this time, otherwise Colonel Ronner and I would have made a big mistake. General..."

As he spoke, Canaris glanced at Qin Chuan: "I am very envious of you for having such outstanding subordinates. If possible..."

"No!" Rommel refused without thinking: "I think he should play a role on the battlefield instead of investigating some suspicious elements, don't you think?"

Rommel’s words had a double meaning.

"Oh, yes!" Canaris smiled awkwardly.

When the plane took off, Qin Chuan looked at Canaris and Ronna with serious faces outside through the glass window, and couldn't help but secretly sigh.

The director of the German Military Intelligence Agency, and Colonel Ronner, who was well-known in the intelligence agency... were eventually executed for failing to plot to assassinate Hitler.

Many people believe that Canaris opposed the war and Hitler from the beginning, but Qin Chuan did not think so.

You must know that the reason why Canaris became a general is because of his outstanding achievements in the intelligence unit.

If Canaris was opposed to the war from the start, how did the German Military Intelligence Agency's global spy network come about? Where did the world-famous Brandenburg detachment come from?

Everyone knows that these are prepared for war.

Therefore, Canaris's opposition to the war and Hitler should have started when he judged that Germany would lose the war... This is obviously more reasonable. Canaris can collect more intelligence and data, and he can use these to Intelligence and data were compared to analyze whether Germany had the strength to confront the Soviet Union, Britain and the United States.

At the same time, this is understandable. After he analyzed that Germany would lose the war, overthrowing Hitler's rule and ending the war as soon as possible could reduce Germany's losses as much as possible.

What Qin Chuan didn't know was whether the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau had changed his judgment on the war at this time!

"Captain!" Rommel pulled Qin Chuan out of his thoughts: "You should take this time to take a rest. There are still many things waiting for us in Algeria!"

"Yes, General!" Qin Chuan replied.

Rommel was right. After arriving in Algeria, Qin Chuan and Rommel immediately got busy again.

The first is to convene a meeting with the commanders of each division.

Needless to say the content of the meeting, Rommel announced to the officers: "We have received accurate information that the enemy will land in Greece!"

"No, General!" Qin Chuan retorted: "I always thought the enemy would land in Sicily!"

General Strike agreed.

"General!" he said to Rommel: "Could this 'accurate information' be the 'intentionally disclosed information' that the captain said?"

"No!" Rommel replied: "The Supreme Command has repeatedly verified and confirmed the credibility of this intelligence. Let me say it again, the enemy's landing location will be Greece! Greece!"

Major General Voigt proudly said to Qin Chuan: "Captain, I know this. I know you must be overthinking. Sometimes the battlefield is not as complicated as you think. Do you understand? You need more training opportunities! But it doesn’t matter, you are still young and have time!”

Qin Chuan pretended to be angry, but in his heart he was thinking... This fool, after being deceived, actually sold his strategy to others for being deceived.

Rommel's expression told Qin Chuan that he had similar thoughts, so Qin Chuan knew that Major General Voigt would probably be kicked out of the African Corps by Rommel, but that would be after the war.

This is of course a play played by Rommel and Qin Chuan. On the one hand, it makes the play more realistic, and on the other hand, it makes everyone prepare to reinforce Greece.

As for Qin Chuan’s objections... This is normal. In fact, the dispute over Sicily or Greece has never ended in the army. Even this battle in history later developed into "Everyone knows except Hitler." The real target of the Allies was Sicily."

One can imagine how depressed the German army was when fighting this war, especially Rommel... knowing that Hitler was wrong, but still had to obey Hitler's orders and watched the Allies capture Sicily without being able to reinforce.

On the other side, Hitler's fake actions also unfolded step by step.

The next day, Hitler convened a meeting of the Supreme Command. He ordered: "I require all German command agencies related to the defense of the Mediterranean to cooperate quickly and closely, to use all their forces and equipment, and to carry out as much as possible in the limited time left." To strengthen the special crisis area, take measures against the Peloponnese before anything else! Thank God I have a good sense of smell, so I can always smell things before they happen!”

He went on to emphasize: "We have the Balkans, copper, iron, alumina, chromium and oil. This is really crucial. The most important thing is to ensure that... what I call a 'complete collapse' does not happen there. matter!"

The next operation also developed completely in this direction. The 1st Armored Division stationed in France set off immediately. This unit filled 100 carriages and spent 7 days urgently reinforcing Greece. Then there was the 1st Armored Division of the Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler, which took 9 days to transport 300 carriages to Greece... This armored division was originally considered a vassal guard, but it showed extraordinary combat effectiveness on the battlefield.

The defense of Sicily has not been strengthened at all, and has even been weakened. Some troops were transferred to Greece, and even German minesweepers that were laying mines near the southern coast of Sicily were transferred to Greece, along with motorized torpedo boats.

All of this led the Allies to believe that Germany had fallen into a trap, but this was not the case.
