"Are your intelligence agencies really sure that the Soviet army is now preparing to launch the Battle of Leningrad-Novgorod?"

When Manstein came to his temporary headquarters at the front, Manstein spoke first to Himmler.

Himmler personally led a group of Gestapo and SS spies to Damanstein's unit last night, and of course he came in a hurry on Chen Yanlong's order to temporarily come to the Eastern Front to spy and infiltrate the Soviet front.

"Why am I lying to you? This is the information that the Führer's intelligence agencies and my intelligence agencies have unanimously obtained, and believe it or not, you like it! ”

"If it weren't for the Führer asking me to come here to direct intelligence infiltration, how could I have suddenly and secretly arrived here?"

"In short, the Führer asked me to give you the information that the Soviet army is currently preparing for the Battle of Leningrad-Novgorod, which is aimed at Moder's Army Group "North" (16th and 18th armies), and intends to annihilate them all in the area of Leningrad, so as to solve the blockade of Leningrad where we are besieging the Soviet army, or to recapture the Leningrad region and the Baltic coast from us! ”

"Especially Estonia, the three Baltic states of Latvia and Lithuania in the south, they want to get involved even more!"

When Himmler heard this, he said with great displeasure.

Because he had come from Berlin, Germany, and had come without even eating breakfast or lunch.

Although Chen Yanlong gave the C-5 "Galaxy" transport plane to transport him, he did not rest much because he had been reading through the information on the military deployment of all the officials and Soviet troops detected by his intelligence organization.

And before receiving Chen Yanlong's orders, he was still dealing with the spies and agents of the intelligence agencies of Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union lurking in Germany, France, Italy, and other places.

However, because Chen Yanlong handed over the intelligence work of those countries to Heinrich Müller, the head of the 4th Central Security Division, the 3rd Division of Orlendorf, Steimler, Sandberger, the SS District Commander and Police Lieutenant General, the 5th Criminal Police Chief Artur Naibi, the SS Brigade Commander and Major General of the Police, and the 6th Reich Security Department (Abroad) Director Walter Schlenberg; SS Brigade Commander and Major General of the Police, Chief of the 3rd Reich Security Department (Domestic) Otto? Olendorff; The SS deputy commander-in-chief and police general, the head of the Reich Central Security Service Ernst Carldenbronner, Wilhelm Hottel and a large number of important officers of Himmler's Gestapo were able to leave.

Although the British, American, and Soviet spies in Germany, France, Italy, and other places were all half cleaned up by Chen Yanlong; However, there are still quite a few ordinary spies and some elite spies who have not been caught, so if there were no certain elite spies left in Germany to fight against the collection and infiltration of British, American, and Soviet spies, then Himmler would not have been able to come to the front line on the Eastern Front.

Not to mention the temporary command of the German intelligence group here to carry out counter-infiltration and counterintelligence work, and penetrate deep into the Soviet army, especially the famous KGB intelligence agencies of the Soviet army.

"But what effect does the attack we are about to launch today do to the Soviet army?"

"Today's battle order was not deployed and planned by me, it was made by the Führer that I was asked to do, so I don't understand!"

When Manstein heard this, he frowned, and his face was full of confusion.

"The purpose of the battle of Leningrad-Novgorod, which the Soviet army is now preparing to launch, I have just said; And the Führer asked you to do the combat operation now in order to allow you and Moder's troops to draw out a part of the elite to attack Kharkov and kill the Soviet army by surprise and disrupt their combat operations in the Battle of Leningrad Novgorod! ”

"The area around Leningrad and the Baltic Sea must not be snatched back by the Soviet army!"

"And in this battle, the Führer has already negotiated with all our client states, as well as with the French army, that their troops must also be involved, and that they must also reach the front line to resist the Soviet army's attack on Leningrad and the Baltic!"

Himmler said.

"Since the head of the state has arranged it, then I will leave it to you to deal with!"

"I will also think well about the combat operation to capture Kharkov!"

"By the way, what about Rommel and Guderian's combat operations on their side? Was it still a success? ”

"In particular, how about the battle of Rommel's troops and Dönitz's aircraft carrier fleet in the English Channel? Did you occupy the Channel Islands where British troops were stationed? ”

Manstein nodded slightly, then changed the subject.

"The battle in the English Channel was still well fought, and the troops commanded by Rommel and the Brandenburg amphibious landing force, as well as the 1st Airborne Division, also completed the landing operation on the Channel Islands brilliantly, and also killed two high-ranking British officers!"

Himmler agreed.

"Hey! It seems that Rommel and Dönitz can make a lot of contributions this time, so what should the Führer do next? ”

"Is it to continue the attack on the English Channel and the British mainland? Or move on to North Africa? Or is there some unusual deployment? ”

Manstein said enviously.
