Transmigrated as the Crown Prince
Chapter 2860 The end of France (30)
Just when Churchill was sighing and writing a letter asking for help to Roosevelt, Reinhard walked into Yannick's office at the Berlin Palace.
"Your Highness, the person you want to see is here."
Following him was a short, bald man with a rather cheerful appearance.
Yannick greeted him enthusiastically and extended his hand. "Mr. Garcia, I've been waiting for a long time."
Garcia stretched out his hand in fear and said at a loss. "Your Highness, I'm just an ordinary civilian. I don't know that Your Highness..." He is really a plain-headed Spanish citizen. This morning, a group of strangers broke into his home without any explanation, put him in a car, took him on a plane, and brought him here. .
Yannick smiled slightly. "Mr. Garcia, I have a job here that I think you will be very interested in. The salary is good, and one month's salary is more than your current income in a year."
Although Garcia was still confused, he couldn't resist the temptation of money and asked curiously. "What kind of job is it?"
Yannick picked up a newspaper from his desk and handed it to Garcia. "Mr. Garcia, this is this morning's Deutsche Morgenzeitung. What military intelligence can you tell from this newspaper?"
"Huh?!" Garcia was even more confused after hearing this. "What military intelligence?" He is not an intelligence officer, what kind of military intelligence can he see?
Yannick's face suddenly became serious. "Mr. Garcia, I don't have time to chat with you. I'll give you five minutes. If you don't see anything, you can only spend the rest of your life in prison. Now the clock starts!"
"!!" Garcia was stunned for a long time with his mouth open. He suddenly regained consciousness and hurriedly opened the newspaper, screaming in his heart that he was provoking someone? How come you have to live a good life and end up in jail? !
After nervously flipping through the entire newspaper several times, he finally spoke tremblingly. "General Guderian will attack Gaiyu tonight. Railway Line 321 is transporting a large amount of military supplies. A group of senior military officials will gather at the Deutsche Hotel tonight." After saying this, he looked at Yannick tremblingly. In response, the sweat on his face poured out like it was moneyless.
Yannick noticed a flash of surprise on Reinhard's face and clapped his hands. "That's great. It seems that Mr. Garcia should be qualified for this job."
Garcia breathed a sigh of relief and almost collapsed to the ground. It seems that he doesn't have to go to jail? he asked cautiously. "Your Highness, can I go back?" This day was really baffling.
Yannick shook his head. "Didn't I say that I have a job? You have passed the interview and are going to work now. Reinhard, the Intelligence Department has added a department called the 'Strategic Deception and Disguise Directorate', which is headed by Mr. Garcia." "Strategic Deception The "General Bureau of Disguise" simply means the Bureau of War Ignorance.
And this Garcia's full name is Juan Garcia Garcia, a legendary spy during World War II.
How legendary is it?
During World War II, he served as a double agent on both sides: on the British side, he was codenamed Garbo, and on the German side, he was codenamed Arabelle. Throughout World War II, Garcia was one of the very few people to be decorated by both warring countries, perhaps even the only one. He received both the British Empire Medal from the British side and the Iron Cross from the German side. .
He was born in Catalonia, Spain, on February 14, 1912, the same Catalonia that makes trouble every day and uses fireworks as submachine guns. His father was the owner of a dye factory, and his mother was a devout Catholic. This man was very noisy and was not honest in school, but he came from a good family and could afford to be troubled.
When he was 16 years old, Garcia stopped going to school because of a quarrel with his teacher and started working as an apprentice in a hardware store. However, this is not a person who can live idle. He started to try to start his own business and occasionally wrote novels to add some color to his life.
Perhaps because he felt that life was not exciting enough, he decided to become a spy when World War II broke out.
So he found British government personnel in Spain three times and explained his purpose. But Garcia did not have any espionage skills, so it was difficult for the suspicious British guy to determine whether the fanatical Spaniard in front of him was a madman or a fool. Finally, the British guy gave a very simple answer - get out.
Garcia was angry now, thinking you guys look down on me, right? Then I will "defect" to the Germans. So he came to the German Embassy and made up a set of reasons to deceive the Germans.
The Germans were obviously much easier to contact than the British, and they were very happy to learn about this situation. Garcia was given a series of training, and given a bottle of invisible ink, a codebook and initial activity funds, allowing him to go to the UK to recruit spies and establish an intelligence network.
Garcia set out, but he did not go to London at all, but to Lisbon, Portugal. He collected information from some public publications, summarized it, and obtained intelligence after analysis and judgment. Although this information is fictitious, it has a high degree of credibility. The information he relies on is a British train timetable, a British travel guide, reference books in public libraries, newspapers and magazines, and what he watched in the cinema. Newsreels etc. arrived.
When Garcia discovered through the train timetable that transportation on a certain railway became busy, he speculated that military supplies might be being transported on this line. Combined with maps and travel guides, he determined where these supplies were being transported, and newsreels There was a public report that there was a war somewhere, and the content could be mutually corroborated with his inferences, so an "important intelligence" was released.
During this period, Garcia relied on his imagination to construct a spy network composed of 28 fictional spies.
These people have different identities and rich experiences, including Welsh Aryan supremacists, often drunken RAF officers, linguists, and resentful demobilized soldiers. The only thing these people have in common is that they are fictional and played by one person, Garcia. In order to confuse the Germans, Garcia occasionally fabricated information that his intelligence agents could not provide. For example, he described that a Liverpool intelligence agent died of illness while collecting fleet intelligence. To confirm this news, he published an obituary in the local newspaper, The Germans sent him a pension to be transferred to the intelligence agent's widow.
At this time, the British realized that someone was continuously providing intelligence to the Germans. They had intercepted several pieces of information from Garcia earlier. This information was intercepted by the British Bletchley Park through radio detection methods. Because its authenticity was so high, the British counterintelligence organization MI5 noticed Garcia. And a large-scale arrest operation was launched against Garcia and Garcia's spy group. However, this man was not in the UK, but far away in Portugal, so MI5 could not find him despite digging deep.
Just when they were having a headache, Garcia took the initiative to contact Demorest, the U.S. diplomat in Portugal. Demorest believed that Garcia had espionage talents and that his abilities would be helpful to the intelligence work of the allies, so he hired him Recommended to British people.
When the two sides met, the British were shocked: wasn't the guy who emotionally provided intelligence to Germany the same lunatic who had been rejected by them three times?
Moreover, the British were surprised to find that after Garcia fabricated a British escort fleet, Germany sent a large number of submarines and aircraft to search and attack the non-existent fleet. As a result, the British truly saw the value of Garcia and took it under their wing. Join Intelligence 5 and become a double agent.
In view of his outstanding acting skills, the British used the name of the American movie star Garbo as his code name.
Later, during the Allied landings in North Africa at the end of 1942, Garcia sent out intelligence stating that the Allied forces used a fleet including troop transports and warships, painted in Mediterranean camouflage colors. This information was valuable, but by the time the information reached German intelligence agencies, the landing battle had already begun. Garcia was told, "We are sorry that the intelligence came too late, but your report is excellent!" The Germans expressed special recognition to him.
By 1943, German intelligence decided to move up the level and establish direct radio contact with Garcia between Madrid and England.
In January 1944, the Germans told Garcia that the Allies were preparing for a large-scale landing operation on the European continent and expected him to pay attention to relevant developments. The Germans' judgment was accurate. The United States and Britain were indeed preparing to implement the Normandy landing operation. But what the Germans didn't know was that this landing operation also contained a huge intelligence scam, and Garcia was an important part of it. . From January 1944 to the subsequent days and nights of the Normandy landings, more than 500 pieces of intelligence were forwarded directly from Garcia to Berlin via Madrid at a frequency of almost four times a day.
In an elaborate hoax, Garcia was given the task of "persuading" the Germans that the landing sites were elsewhere, one of which was Calais. Garcia lived up to expectations, and his intelligence even led Hitler to later believe that the Allies were most likely to land in Calais. The Allies' plan went beyond that. In order to delay the German counterattack, the Allies also hoped that Garcia would convince the Germans that even the Allied landings in Normandy would be a false shot.
On June 5, the day before the landing operation, Garcia informed Germany that he had an urgent message that would be sent out at three o'clock in the morning on June 6. The content was that all signs indicated that the Allied landing force was about to leave Normandy. Unfortunately, the German intelligence officer forgot to receive this information and accidentally received it only after the landing operation began. This actually added extra trust to Garcia. Garcia also pretended to be angry and vented his anger to the Germans: "I will not accept any apology or excuse. If it were not for my ideals, I would have refused this job long ago!" In fact, even if the German side received this information in time, It's too late.
On June 9, four days after the Normandy landings began, Garcia sent another key piece of intelligence. The intelligence was very long, reporting the contents of a meeting between him and his intelligence agents, and requesting that the intelligence be handed over directly to the German supreme commander. This intelligence pointed out that the purpose of the Allied landings in Normandy was to ensure the success of the upcoming Calais landing. Perhaps based on previous judgments, or perhaps too much trust in Garcia, Hitler approved this suggestion. As a result, during the critical period of the Battle of Normandy, the German army deployed heavy troops in Calais. Some historians say that if the German army could divide its troops to provide assistance at that time, the Allied forces fighting hard in Normandy would have suffered heavy casualties and might even have been defeated, and World War II would have been prolonged.
Ironically, Garcia's popularity with the Germans was further strengthened throughout the D-Day invasion. On July 29, 1944, he was very unexpectedly informed that because of his outstanding contributions, the Germans awarded him the Iron Cross and called him a particularly rare person worthy of this honor. Garcia replied humbly and sincerely that his work did not deserve this title. In fact, almost at the same time, the British secretly awarded him the Order of the British Empire.
After the Normandy landings, Germany was retreating steadily. Garcia found it difficult to continue sending false news without arousing suspicion. So under the arrangement of his superior supervisor Mills, Garcia was "discovered and arrested by the British." arrest". Garcia also made a public statement admitting that he was a German spy and confessed to his illegal activities. After Garcia was arrested, the Germans felt they had suffered huge losses and specially transferred US$340,000 to continue supporting the so-called intelligence network established by Garcia.
After the war, Garcia first went to the United States, then traveled to Cuba, Mexico and other Latin American countries, and finally settled in Venezuela. He died in 1988.
