The decisive battle against the Third Reich

After a moment of silence, "Brutus" called back: "Does it have anything to do with me?"

"Yes!" Shuster replied: "He saw you arrested by British intelligence agents!"

When this telegram was sent, everyone was waiting for "Brutus" to call back.

If "Brutus" is not mentally strong enough, he will think that he has been exposed, and then he will show his weakness immediately...for example, he will not reply, or give a lame explanation.

And this is enough to prove that "Brutus" was instigated to rebel, and all the information he provided was false.

It took a while before "Brutus" called back: "That joke is funny 'Jeff'!"

"Jeff" is Shuster's code name.

"This is not a joke!" Shuster replied unwillingly.

"Then 'Mart' must be mistaken!" "Brutus" called back: "I have never been arrested. Are you talking about the time when my radio failed?"

"Yes!"

"Then I'm pretty sure of it!" replied "Brutus": "As I wasn't in Dover during that time, I went to Kennington and stayed there for a few days, and 'Mart' must have Someone else thinks it’s me. Please confirm!”

This answer disappointed everyone because it was seamless and without any emotional fluctuations.

Colonel Schuster replied helplessly: "Okay, I will figure it out!"

What Qin Chuan and others did not expect was that "Brutus" himself was actually frightened at the time, but Wilson, an intelligence officer from MI5, happened to be with him.

As the saying goes, bystanders know better, not to mention that Wilson also knew some information about the German spy "Matt" returning to Germany. Combined with the recent scam at the Edinburgh military base that was exposed due to reconnaissance, he immediately made a judgment that this was German intelligence agents probed "Brutus".

The next words were actually answered by Wilson to help "Brutus".

Although there were only a few words before and after, it shocked the whole of Britain.

This "testing" behavior of the German army soon reached the hands of MI5 Director Halker, who hurriedly had a secret conversation with Allied Commander-in-Chief Eisenhower.

"You mean..." Eisenhower was very dissatisfied with Halke's work: "We prepared for several months, spent so much energy, and performed the exercises over and over again to achieve foolproofness, but in the end we were defeated by the Germans. Got it? All plans are ruined!"

"No, General, we don't think so!" Halker replied.

"If you don't think so, then tell me what you should think?" Eisenhower said angrily: "You actually let a submarine sneak into the waters off Edinburgh and even put down sailors to conduct reconnaissance... And there were only six sailors serving as scouts. . God, there were only six people, you just had to put a platoon or even a squad there and none of this would have happened!”

"This is our oversight, General!" Halker said: "But this does not affect the 'Southern Resolute' plan. They still believe that our attack target is Calais!"

"Really? If it doesn't matter, why would the Germans test double agents?" Eisenhower replied: "This shows that they are already suspicious! Well done, Halker, the British Intelligence Agency was once my best Trusted intelligence services...ever!"

"General!" Halke said nonchalantly: "If they were sure of this, they wouldn't use this method to test! Besides, we have a remedy..."

"Remedial measures?" Eisenhower looked at Halker in confusion. He didn't understand what remedies could be provided for a mistake like this, where intelligence leakage would cause the entire combat plan to collapse.

On the other side, Rommel, Qin Chuan and others were very depressed, and Schuster was no exception, holding his head like a wilted cabbage.

This can be said to be a method they racked their brains to find, and they have placed great hopes on this "trial" plan. But the result was a mess.

What's even more terrible is... this failed "test" may also have given the British a warning, so that they will be prepared and be more careful in the future.

"What should I do now?" Colonel Slaine spread his hands and said, "Are we just going to wait like this?"

"No, we haven't failed yet!" Rommel looked at the pile of documents and information in front of him and said: "Gentlemen, we all believe that this 1st Army Group is a forgery, then these information are also forgeries. Since they are forgeries Yes, there must be loopholes!”

This was Rommel's style, he never bowed his head and gave up in the face of difficulties.

"Your Excellency, Marshal!" Colonel Slain spread his hands over the documents in the room and said, "Should we read all these documents and analyze them one by one?"

"Why not?" Rommel asked.

"Your Excellency Marshal!" Colonel Shutes replied: "This will not be of any use... Most of this intelligence is the result of our monitoring. Even if there are any loopholes or contradictions in it, they can explain it well. For example, the British deliberately included some false information to confuse us!”

"Yes!" Qin Chuan agreed: "Even if we find loopholes or even contradictions in the intelligence provided by spies, they can still explain it this way...one of the contradictions must be false, and the false one is different from theirs. It has nothing to do with it, it was British intelligence agents who mixed it with false information!”

Rommel's enthusiasm was immediately extinguished as if a basin of cold water was poured on him.

"Fuck you!" After a moment of silence, Rommel stood up and cursed: "We knew they were deceiving us, and we knew they were not attacking Calais, but we could do nothing! I am a marshal, the commander-in-chief of Army Group B, and I can only watch them attack the Brittany Peninsula without being able to mobilize a single soldier!"

Qin Chuan could understand Rommel's depression. As a front-line commander, he should have been able to fight as he pleased, but now he seemed to be tied up, watching the enemy come forward to cut his flesh but unable to do anything.

This is much more uncomfortable than a solid defeat.

"If there is no other way!" Qin Chuan said, "It seems that we only have one choice... send a force to Dover for reconnaissance!" "We can't do it, Lieutenant Colonel!" Colonel Shuster objected, "The waters around Dover are full of enemy warships patrolling day and night!" Rommel also shook his head, "This is not a good idea!"
