The decisive battle against the Third Reich

In a way, Rundstedt is right.

The British used German radio monitoring to deceive the Germans in the 4th Army. They could not prove that the 1st Army's radio communications were also a deception or even prove that the 1st Army was also a scam.

This even proves that the 1st Army is real from another aspect

"The fake military base looks like this..." Rundstedt raised the telegram in his hand: "There is nothing but weeds and stones, but the real military base... I believe you have seen it in the photo! Hospitals, military camps, warehouses, etc. are all available, there is a significant difference, Marshal Rommel!”

Rommel was speechless.

After a pause, Rundstedt continued: "Furthermore, we can easily guess the British purpose of doing this, to create a tense atmosphere in the direction of Norway to attract our troops and attention, and then increase the number of troops in the south, that is, to Give us a fatal blow!"

"Marshal Rommel!" A general beside Rundstedt echoed: "The things the enemy puts in front of us are usually one true and one false. Congratulations, you found the false one!"

The meaning of this statement is obvious, that is, the remaining one is the truth.

Rommel couldn't help but turned blue with anger, but he couldn't refute their statement, so he could only grit his teeth and said: "We'll see, Commander-in-Chief, I will prove that this 1st Army is also fake. The enemy is here What is in front of us is not necessarily true and false, it is more likely that... these are all false, and they have not shown the real one at all!"

With that said, Rommel took the two of them away angrily.

Back in the office, Rommel couldn't help but curse: "These bastards, they are willing to sacrifice the entire Western Front and even Germany for their own face, and yet I am still working with them, and they even consider themselves nobles..."

Although what Rommel said was angry, it also made sense.

Because military intelligence is not like evidence collection in a case.

When collecting evidence, the principle of presumption of innocence must be followed, that is, it is assumed that the suspect is innocent. If there is not enough evidence, he cannot be found guilty.

However, military intelligence more often follows the "presumption of guilt", which means that the obtained information must be assumed to be a trap set by the enemy. As long as there is a doubt or a flaw, it should be judged as false before a reasonable explanation is found. intelligence.

The Allied 1st Army is obviously suspicious, because the 4th Army's telegram monitoring has been proven to be false, and the 1st Army's monitoring cannot be trusted, or it can be said...all the information about the 1st Allied Army that the Germans can monitor The intelligence of the Army Group is probably what Britain wants Germany to hear.

So naturally, the British Intelligence Agency wanted to make the Germans misunderstand that the direction of the Allied attack was Calais. So from the perspective of the Germans and the professionalism of military intelligence, it was basically possible to determine that the Allied attack target was not Calais but somewhere else. The place.

The problem is that Rundstedt and others did not do such an objective analysis and added their own subjective wishes to the intelligence, so they put together a set of specious theories and came to an opposite conclusion.

"So!" Colonel Slain said: "We must directly prove that the enemy's 1st Army also has problems!"

"It's very difficult to prove this!" Colonel Schuster said: "I just analyzed the surveillance records of the 1st Army and the 4th Army and found that they are very different... The 4th Army often reveals the information of the troops. Number, and the 1st Army is much more secretive, they usually use code names!”

Rommel asked Colonel Schuster doubtfully: "So, you also believe that there is something wrong with the 1st Army, right?"

"Yes, Marshal!" Colonel Schuster replied: "I have to believe this, because the 4th Army... I always thought it must exist, but it turns out I was wrong!"

After a pause, Colonel Schuster plucked up the courage to say: "There are some things I don't know if I should say... Your Excellency, Marshal, in fact, I think you have won. Even though many people think that the outcome is not decided, but in the It seems to me that’s not the case!”

As the director of the Intelligence Division, Colonel Schuster knows what is right and what is wrong.

After listening to Colonel Schuster's words, Rommel's anger calmed down a little, but he still spread his hands helplessly and said: "But so what? We still can't save this war!"

"If...I mean if!" Colonel Slain said: "If the 1st Army military base is fake, why don't we bomb it?"

"They have already done this!" Colonel Schuster replied: "But the result is that everything is normal... Several of their landing craft were sunk by us, and an oil storage warehouse exploded, igniting fire and concentrated gas. cigarette!"

Colonel Slaine shrugged helplessly, which proved that the 1st Army was real.

But Qin Chuan knew that the British had been prepared for this... The German Air Force bombers were deliberately put in, but those bombings did not sink any landing craft and did not hit the oil storage tank, because all the people on the set were Everything is fake, of course there is no real oil storage warehouse.

The landing craft that was bombed and sunk were several old broken ships that the British had sunk themselves, but they only covered up the appearance, so it seemed that the sinking process was no different from the real ships.

In the oil storage warehouse, the prop team detonated a mixed tank of gasoline and diesel, and the fire was blazing and smoke was billowing. This was the film production company's strength. There were even firefighters, water trucks, and ambulances going back and forth. Various people running to put out fires and rescue the wounded... When the German reconnaissance planes were filming these, they had no idea they were filming a movie.

"Then, it seems we can only start with spies!" Colonel Slain said, "Why don't we test those three spies?"

"How to test?" Rommel said: "Should we send a telegram asking: 'Hey, have you been arrested, and how many benefits have the British given you?'?"

"Sorry, I was just talking casually!" Colonel Slaine was a little embarrassed.

"This may indeed be a method!" Qin Chuan said: "But we need to find a suitable person or have enough information!"

"What information?" Rommel asked.

"For example... can we guess when and where these spies were arrested?" Qin Chuan said: "Then, we pretended that a super spy witnessed the whole incident!"

Several people turned their attention to Shuster.
