Chapter 473:

Hypnosis, in the psychological sense, refers to an alternate state of consciousness triggered by various techniques. People at this time are extremely reactive to the cues of others. It is a highly suggestive state. and respond accordingly in perception, memory, and control.

In fact, however, the name "hypnosis" itself is somewhat misleading.

The method used by Xiao Mubai is not so much hypnosis as brainwashing through continuous reinforcement and suggestion, although the word brainwashing is implied with a derogatory connotation.

Brainwashing in the academic sense, in fact, is defined in Xiao Mubai's system as manipulation skills, using all means to instill knowledge and ideas that are in line with one's own interests to others, and the meaning is to use external pressure to instill special thoughts, which is a method of mind control.

Xiao Mubai didn't know what the advanced mode of this method would look like, but in terms of the current primary mode, it was actually no different from the hypnosis in the movie.

However, there is a difference, hypnosis is in a special environment, and Xiao Mubai's brainwashing of Colonel Stauffenberg is carried out all the time, as long as others are near Xiao Mubai's body, they will be affected by this spiritual field coverage.

It's intangible.

What is tangible is Xiao Mubai's continuous indoctrination. Constant indoctrination, exposing the ugly face of politicians, repeatedly emphasizing the role of politicians in delaying or even hindering the occurrence of previous mutinies, and finally, forceful indoctrination of mutinies led by officers and soldiers.

From the beginning of July to Colonel Stauffenberg's side as his aide-de-camp, after routine office hours and private breaks, Colonel Stauffenberg trusted Xiao Mubai, and Xiao Mubai silently began to hint at this.

After a long period of accumulation, the implied process began to accelerate.

Today's meeting, if it weren't for Admiral Beck's deliberate and muddy approach, and the civilian officials headed by Godler deliberately squeezing out the officers, Colonel Stauffenberg did not see this scene and did not feel disappointed, how could Xiao Mubai have succeeded in one fell swoop.

Today was the time when Colonel Stauffenberg's mental activity was at its most intense, and when he came to the meeting full of hope, what he got was the rejection of the plan by the politicians, which made him feel good, and the politicians were fighting for power and profit, which was nothing, but at the cost of action it was a bit of a joke.

Colonel Stauffenberg, as an ideal soldier, could not accept this situation under any circumstances.

In the original history, because of the acquiescence of Admiral Baker and the support of Major General O'Britt, Colonel Stauffenberg finally compromised, but now, with Xiao Mubai's hints, he is obviously more decisive than before.

Xiao Mubai really wanted to see that scene.

Historically, the coup d'état was entirely probable, and the reasons for its failure are incredible.

The first: Since Colonel Stauffenberg was the commander of the operation, he should not have become an assassin and penetrated into the base camp, such a risk was too great, what if the assassination operation was exposed at that time? Who will command the entire operation?

Xiao Mubai wanted to make sure that Colonel Stauffenberg participated in the operation not as an executor, but as a commander, so that the chances of a successful military coup would be greatly increased.

The second: the lack of decisiveness and cruelty of the operation, the slow movement of reserve forces, which took place only 3 hours after the start of the assassination, encountered some entanglement and even resistance during the arrest of the SS and Nazi Party Central elements.

The War Department did not decisively give orders for coercive means, in particular, the execution of key figures.

This, again, was due to the lack of absolute leadership of the army by the officers, and even the tolerance of the military top brass towards the Nazis, who underestimated the degree of reaction of the Nazis.

Thirdly, the coup was cleverly planned, using the Führer's own "Valkyrie Plan" to mobilize the Berlin reservists in case of risk.

But what is puzzling is that the putschists did not arrange their own people to be commanders on the front line of the reserve forces.

This is the reason why Xiao Mubai stayed in the Berlin garrison Zehlendorf supplementary battalion at the beginning of the crossing, and the strength of 10,000 men was enough to break down any reactionary force in Berlin, and Colonel Stauffenberg had to master it.

Fourth: did not master the communication center and radio station. The putschists were so imbecile that they only cut off the telephone contact between the wolf's den and the outside world, and the communication room of the wolf's den was not destroyed, but the telephone lines were unplugged.

In addition, the coup d'état did not occupy the military communications center and the radio station, which led to the final coup party being completely cut off, so that Hitler could address the whole country through the radio station.

This one, as long as Colonel Stauffenberg stayed in Berlin to command, could be completed, and Xiao Mubai would remind him later.

Point five: all the putschists, including Stauffenberg, were reluctant to take to the streets and take direct command of the reserves.

Colonel Stauffenberg, having assumed the post of chief of staff of the reserve army, had full authority to command the reserve division in Berlin, and if this could be done, the operation to clear the SS and the Gestapo would be surprisingly crisp.

Point 6: Without controlling Berlin's airport, Goebbels returned to Berlin safely an hour after the start of the coup to direct the counterinsurgency operation.

Even the airport is not occupied, how funny the organizers are, this is the reason why Xiao Mubai is unwilling to give up the command.

If Colonel Stauffenberg could not serve as the commander and complete the task assigned by Xiao Mubai, at that time, Xiao Mubai would not hesitate to play in person.

As for the seventh point: the Allies were not contacted immediately during the operation in order to get strong support from the Allies, especially the Air Force, and if the Allies could be informed of the address of the Wolf's Den, the Allies could quickly drop bombs or paratroopers on the Wolf's Den anyway.

Historically, the conspirators of Operation Valkyrie only wanted to save the defeated Germany, and did not want the people and soldiers to mistakenly believe that the conspirators had betrayed Germany because the Allied forces helped assassinate Hitler, so the Allies remained silent during the operation.

Regardless of whether they got the news or not, the Allies have not taken any action anyway, and the secret information of later generations also proves this, but Xiao Mubai is inclined to think that they did not get the news of Valkyrie's operation, otherwise if they could have known, Hitler would have known it in advance.

Xiao Mubai originally didn't want to contact the allies, but considering that the Wehrmacht conspirators were too bad teammates, he decided that he still had to prepare to make contact, and even if he faced the critical moment of defeat, there would be reserves that could reverse the fighter.

However, although the Wehrmacht at this time knew that its own side could not defeat the Allied forces, it was not hostile to it in their hearts, so how to deal with the emotions of the soldiers at that time would be a big problem.

Otherwise, the soldiers who felt betrayed would have thrown themselves against the Nazis, and it would have been hilarious.

Therefore, after the initial completion of the transformation of Colonel Stauffenberg, the next step, Xiao Mubai was ready to contact the allies, and he had already selected several targets.

First place: Fritz Kolbe.

Second place: Merry 007 Dasco Popov, that is, the prototype of James Bond in the movie "007".
