It's another five shifts, asking for a monthly pass......

***********

"Do you mean ......," said Rommel, "why did they refuse to transfer troops from Calais to Brittany because they had been deceived by the Allies and not because they intended to do so?" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency!" Qin Chuan said: "Think about the reason that Marshal Rundstedt told you...... He believed that it would be easier for the Allies to land at Calais to advance eastward, and believed that an Allied attack on Calais would remove the threat of V1. ”

"What's the problem?" Rommel asked.

"Couldn't the Allied landing from Brittany achieve these strategic objectives?" Qin Chuan asked rhetorically: "There are better communications south of the Brittany Peninsula, and the Allies can quickly penetrate into the depths of France and then encircle the Calais region, and achieve these strategic goals mentioned by Marshal Rundstedt, that is, it is only a matter of time before the troops advance eastward and remove the threat of V1!" ”

Rommel nodded.

After thinking about it, his face became very ugly, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth and scold: "These bastards! ”

Qin Chuan knew why Rommel behaved like this.

Because if what Qin Chuan said was true, it meant that Marshal Rundstedt only provided Rommel with a small part of the information, and the key information was concealed.

However, it was precisely because of this that Marshal Rundstedt and others were deceived by the false information provided by the British, but Rommel did not, so there was a difference in strategic judgment.

If Rommel also had that "information", it is hard to guarantee that Rommel would also believe that it was Calais that the Allies were going to attack!

After being silent for a while, Rommel took off his armed belt and military hat from the hanger without saying a word, and said to Qin Chuan and Colonel Slane while tidying up: "Let's go to the Western Front headquarters immediately!" ”

Qin Chuan originally hoped to rest in bed for a while, but from Colonel Slane's eyes, Qin Chuan knew that he also had a similar desire...... Because the inspections in the past few days are either on the front line or in the car, even at night, almost never stopping.

The two thought that they had finally taken a breath of relief at the headquarters, but apparently they underestimated Rommel's "perpetual motion machine".

What's even more terrifying is that Rommel thinks that others have the same inexhaustible energy as him.

So, Qin Chuan and Colonel Slein reluctantly stepped into the car with Rommel again and drove to Paris.

When he arrived at the commander-in-chief of the Western Front in Paris, it was half past ten, and the one on duty at the gate happened to be the second lieutenant that Qin Chuan met last time.

This time, he didn't dare to stop people to ask for documents again, but saluted Rommel and the others straight.

Rommel only replied casually, and his feet continued to walk in.

It is said that it is daytime, and it should be half past ten in the morning, which should be the time when the headquarters is busy, but the fact is that Qin Chuan and Slane are surprised...... There were only a few staff officers and communications soldiers in the command who were sorting out the papers, and a few people hurriedly stood up and saluted when they saw Rommel.

"What about Marshal Rundstedt?" Rommel asked.

"Sorry, Your Excellency!" The staff officer replied, "I'm not sure, but I want to...... Should be in the restaurant! ”

Rommel nodded knowingly, then turned around and walked back with Qin Chuan and the others.

Colonel Slain couldn't help but tease: "Marshal Rundstedt really enjoys it, and he will start his lunch at half past ten!" ”

Rommel couldn't help but laugh: "Colonel, if you think they are having lunch...... That's a big mistake! ”

"You mean to say ......"

"Notice what the major just said?" Rommel said: "He said 'he was not sure', which means that Marshal Rundstedt did not come to the headquarters all morning!" ”

Colonel Slain couldn't help but let out an "oh".

That is to say...... Marshal Rundstedt was enjoying breakfast at this time.

Rommel guessed correctly, and when the group drove to a restaurant called "Bold Rooster" a few miles away, they saw Marshal Rundstedt having breakfast with several generals.

"Oh, Marshal Rommel!" Seeing that Rommel "broke in" in a hurry, Rundstedt politely stretched out his hand to invite Rommel and said, "Do you want to dine with us?" ”

"No, Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief!" Rommel obviously did not have a good relationship with Marshal Rundstedt, so his tone was very blunt: "I came this time because I have a few questions to ask the commander-in-chief!" ”

"You may be seated!" Rundstedt unhurriedly raised his head towards an empty seat at the table.

Qin Chuan noticed that Rundstedt was sixty or seventy years old, because his eyelids were weakly drooping, his skin was pale and he was unable to move, which was in stark contrast to Rommel's exuberant energy.

Rundstedt calmly smeared caviar on the bread as he looked up and motioned for Rommel to continue.

"First of all, I'd like to introduce my two subordinates!" Rommel said: "To my left is Colonel Slein, commander of the 1st Infantry Regiment!" ”

"I've heard of you, Colonel!" Rundstedt said: "The 1st Infantry Regiment, the most valiant elite of the Empire, it is a pleasure to meet you! ”

"Me too, Your Excellency Marshal!" Colonel Slane replied.

Rommel continued: "To my right is Lieutenant Colonel Flick, commander of the 1st Battalion of the 1st Infantry Regiment! ”

"Nice to meet you!" Rundstedt nodded at Qin Chuan with a casual expression, and then threw the freshly cut bloodshot steak to the pitbull who was squatting next to him who was staring greedily at the table and making a low noise.

When the pitbull gobbled up, Rundstedt also stroked it a few times.

"It is an honor, Your Excellency!" Qin Chuan replied that he actually hated this kind of aristocratic etiquette a little.

"Oh, I forgot to mention Lieutenant Colonel Frick's other name!" Rommel said: "He is the 'legendary sergeant'!" ”

The generals present couldn't help but look sideways, even Rundstedt threw a surprised look at Qin Chuan, he looked at Qin Chuan for a while, then nodded and said: "Lieutenant Colonel, I have heard a lot about you, I want you to know that everything you have done has made us feel honored as soldiers of the Empire!" ”

"Thank you, Your Excellency Marshal!" Qin Chuan replied bluntly.

"Then, Marshal Rommel......" Rundstedt turned his gaze to Rommel: "Have you come to show me that you have such excellent men?" I don't think you need to! ”

Several generals at the table let out a few laughs.

"No, Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief!" Rommel said: "I don't think you let me know all the relevant information. Me and my men, we believe ...... You have been fooled by this information. The purpose of my visit is to get this information, complete information! ”
