The decisive battle against the Third Reich
Chapter 749 Change
Qin Chuan did the right thing.
The fact is that Hitler was very impressed after hearing the conversation between Qin Chuan and Alexander.
Because if you understand it like Qin Chuan does, Hitler's approach is not an error in judgment, but a kind of caution and a manifestation of responsibility for the lives of frontline officers and soldiers.
People often have such a mentality that they are unwilling to make mistakes in front of people at lower levels.
Just like Hitler, it would be easier to admit his mistakes in front of Paulus, the commander of the army, but it would be very difficult to bow his head in front of a colonel or even a major.
So Hitler actually cared more about what Qin Chuan and Alexander thought, and Qin Chuan gave him a satisfactory answer.
On the other hand, just as Qin Chuan thought, people who are suspicious by nature will become more and more convinced that the evidence Qin Chuan obtained is true after hearing Qin Chuan's words of "self-reflection"... The reason is very simple, no one will do it like this When Qin Chuan doubts his own evidence, they usually favor their own side.
Of course, Hitler would not make a decision just like that.
He asked the intelligence services to re-interview Seninovich.
However, this step was just a formality, and Hitler did not have much hope of finding loopholes in it.
Hitler focused on verifying the correctness of the intelligence.
Because if the Soviets plan to use Serafimovich and Abganerovo as a breakthrough, they will inevitably make some preparations at these two places, such as accumulating ammunition and equipment, concentrating more troops, etc.
These can be detected by Air Force reconnaissance aircraft as well as Brandenburg troops.
The reason why Hitler did not do this work before was because he preconceptionally believed that the Soviets were unable to counterattack under their own offensive.
The results of the reconnaissance surprised Hitler...
Relevant intelligence quickly flew to the "Werewolf" headquarters like snowflakes. Because this time it was targeted, both aerial reconnaissance and ground reconnaissance by the Brandenburg troops showed that the Soviets were indeed involved in these two attacks. Large-scale gathering in all directions.
Regardless of whether the intelligence about the Soviet counterattack was correct or not, this has proved that the intelligence previously held by Hitler, that is, the intelligence that the Soviet army was unable to counterattack, was wrong.
After walking around the headquarters and thinking for a long time, and comparing the intelligence obtained from the reconnaissance and Seninovich's confession again and again, he found that most of them corresponded to each other, so Hitler finally believed that all this was true. .
On the other hand, Hitler also understood that it was impossible not to admit his mistakes.
Because as Qin Chuan said, this is related to the safety of the 6th Army and even the entire Eastern Front, and even the fate of Germany... At this time, Germany was already experiencing a shortage of rear forces, and Army Group South launched an attack on Stalingrad. The strength of the German Empire is still patchwork. If the 6th Army is surrounded and annihilated again, the consequences will be disastrous. The German Empire is likely to collapse like dominoes, and the 6th Army will fall. The first domino.
This is indeed the case. After the Battle of Stalingrad, the German army languished on the Eastern Front. Although the subsequent Battle of Kursk was an offensive initiated by the German army, it was just a return to the past.
On the other hand, the Allied forces landed in Normandy, which completely plunged the German army into an embarrassing situation of being attacked from two sides and ignoring the head and tail.
After making up his mind, Hitler first called Canaris and scolded him.
"Look what all these are?!" Hitler angrily threw the document in front of Canaris: "Do you know what we detected? We detected millions of Soviet troops gathering on the other side of the Don and Volga rivers to prepare for a counterattack. Millions! Is this what you mean by the Soviet army not having enough power to launch a counterattack?"
Canaris was speechless after looking at the intelligence, but he continued to explain: "Your Majesty the Head of State, this may be a scam by the Soviets..."
"This is not a hoax!" Hitler almost screamed and roared, waving his arms to express his anger: "On the contrary, the intelligence you provided is more like a hoax. It led me to make wrong judgments and put the defense forces at risk." Transferred to France, even ignoring the warnings of frontline officers and soldiers! Do you know what will happen if I believe your intelligence? The 6th Army will be surrounded by the Soviets! The entire Eastern Front will collapse!"
"Your Excellency Prime Minister..."
"Disappear from me, you idiot!" Hitler didn't want to hear Canaris' explanation at all: "You almost made me an executioner, an executioner who massacred his own officers and soldiers! A historical sinner!"
Canaris left Hitler's office in a hurry. He knew that it was useless to explain anything while Hitler was angry. What was worse was... he couldn't give a reasonable explanation.
Then the three Paulus were invited to the office again.
When several people walked into the office, they couldn't help but be stunned when they looked at the documents on the floor and Hitler who was turning pale with anger.
"Sorry, gentlemen!" Hitler calmed down and explained: "As you know, there are always some people who can't see how heavy the burden is on their shoulders. At the same time, they don't realize that the mistakes they make will affect The safety of many officers and soldiers on the front line is in danger! And you..."
Hitler nodded to the three of them and said: "You are right. Various signs show that...the Soviets do have a counterattack plan! Your persistence and efforts saved the 6th Army, the Eastern Front, and even Germany." !”
Alexander glanced at Qin Chuan in surprise, because what Hitler said implied what Qin Chuan had said before in front of the bug, that is, he was responsible for the lives of frontline officers and soldiers.
Only now did Alexander somewhat understand Qin Chuan's intention when he said those words.
"So, Your Excellency the Führer!" Paulus asked: "What do you think we should do now?"
As he spoke, Paulus glanced at Alexander and Qin Chuan and motioned for them to leave. After all, this was a high-level secret and was not accessible to the level of colonel or major.
But when Qin Chuan and Alexander were about to leave, Hitler stopped him and said: "No, no, I think you should stay!"
"Your Majesty the Head of State..."
Paulus tried to explain but was interrupted by Hitler.
"They are trustworthy people, general!" Hitler said: "I learned about the entire 'Rat Hunt' process from Major General Seninovich..."
Hitler stepped forward and patted Qin Chuan and Alexander on the shoulders, nodded and said: "It was a very exciting battle, especially from the perspective of Major General Seninovich... Do you know? He said that at that time they were all They were so frightened that no one expected that heroic German soldiers would suddenly appear in front of them! These are our soldiers, the warriors of the empire, I am proud of you!"
