Chapter 369: Stacked Tricks
According to the intelligence provided by the director of the Joint Intelligence Agency, Colmar von Ramsden, and the director of the Military Intelligence Agency, Earhart Cecil, it was very clear that the countries did not trust the normal rise of the German Confederation, and even the great powers in the east began to be alarmed.
Eric knew very well in his heart that Germany was not ready, and that it was not yet time to go head-to-head, unless any country suddenly fired the first shot at Germany.
In response to the international community's misunderstanding of Germany's political, economic, and military developments, Eric immediately held urgent consultations with Defense Minister Walter Brauchitsch and decided to reactivate the work of the Federal Military Intelligence Agency's intelligence stations in various countries, including the identification and code name certification of the head of the French station, David Robinson.
As a native of France, David is the owner of the nightclub on the Champs-Elysées in Paris, and an intelligence dealer with extensive government and military connections, from whom Eric obtained many important information during the First World War and played an integral role in the German capture of Paris. This reawakening of him is different from the CIA's stragglers, and Eric is ready to identify the Romance Nightclub as a permanent source of intelligence, keeping abreast of the political movements of Western countries.
Eric thought that Germany's eastern neighbor was the most reassuring, but the strong alliance between Poland and the Soviet Union completely changed the old military posture and exposed Germany to the forefront of direct confrontation with the great powers. Fortunately, Eric had been a key player in Warsaw since before the end of World War I, so the German secret service in Poland was never dormant, but was always in a state of euphoria.
Every move of Poland and the Soviet Union did not escape Eric's eyes and ears, and it was convenient for Germany to deal with emergencies at any time, and based on this, Eric thought that he was more than patient.
However, Germany's immediate priority is how to manage tensions with France, as the Mediterranean crisis has long been the hottest topic in countries around the world.
Since Britain, France, and other countries jointly established the North Atlantic Mobile Composite Brigade, they have repeatedly confronted and even friction with German warships and planes, and if this high-risk trend is not controlled, it is bound to become the fuse of future wars.
At present, the interception of German and British warplanes in the North Sea is far from over, and the normal exercises of military bases around the Mediterranean island of Kofu have sparked groundless speculation from all sides. To this end, Eric often reminded the commander of the Mediterranean Fleet, Henin, on the phone that he should let the troops avoid risks and manage differences in training. And emphasized, you must let yourself grow up quickly, otherwise, it is far from the time for a showdown.
On July 24, a number of foreign media reported that just after Britain, France and other countries projected military forces to various seas in the name of "maintaining peace and stability in the North Atlantic", Greece also began to send its own naval and air force to deploy along the coast and deployed limited troops on some sensitive islands.
All kinds of indications show that the normal national defense and military construction of the German Confederation has aroused uneasiness and a high degree of vigilance among all countries.
The Greek media openly declared that the stationing of the Greek army, navy, and air force on the surrounding islands and reefs was really helpless, mainly in response to the maritime cooperation between Britain and France and the positive response to emergencies, and was also a legitimate concern for the security of the country.
At this time, Eric seemed very calm, and only secretly ruthless in his heart: since they are all playing tricks, they can only play in the dark. Returning to Berlin from Bremen, Eric rushed headlong into his office, either in front of the transmitter or by the telephone.
It didn't take long for the German newspaper "Izvestia" to issue a major news: after several years of calm, there was another turmoil in France, and several explosions suspected of espionage had recently occurred, which had caused many casualties. Although the accuracy of this information has yet to be confirmed, it cannot be denied that radical groups in France are very active, and it cannot be ruled out that radical groups have launched the above-mentioned series of attacks on the premise that they cannot be locked down on suspicion of spies.
After a careful analysis of what was published in the newspapers, Eric, the federal cabinet, the foreign ministry and the Ministry of Defense have been secretive about who was behind the incidents. At the same time, Britain has been a rare silent voice. Because until the situation has temporarily subsided, France has not condemned or accused any organization or individual, nor has it officially released any official information to the public.
The French side neither affirms nor denies the exaggeration of the major media, in fact, it is that you say yes, you say no, you don't, and the attitude is very ambiguous. There are all kinds of indications that the Dumei government is ready to calm down the situation and has decided to dilute the impact of these incidents.
It seems that Britain, France and other countries are also having a very difficult time, Eric secretly laughed in his heart: "Tema's, let the master have a hard time, everyone should not think about a good life!" ”。 Subsequently, he rang the phone of the Air Force Command and ordered the "Condor Brigade" to continue its training in the air, especially the HS123 bomber not to leave the cat in the nest in order to save fuel, to fly as far as possible, and if necessary, to go around the English Channel.
Just a few days ago, two French Type 208 reconnaissance planes suddenly patronized the airspace 10 nautical miles from the BF-10 air base on the Mediterranean island.
However, Eric is quite kind, otherwise, the F-200C reconnaissance plane can reach Marseille and Montpellier in southern France from the island of Cofu at any time, and even let Henin directly drive the Mediterranean Fleet out, block the mouth of Marseille to the sea, and put it in a dilemma. Actually, Eric wouldn't do that, and Henin wouldn't do it for the time being.
Ever since the atmosphere in the North Atlantic was suddenly tense, especially since the Soviet military experts were stationed in western Poland, Eric's behavior was unusually strange, lying in his nest every day, staying at home, except for tinkering with the radio and talking on the phone, and constantly busy.
Aynata has been quietly collecting the latest news from outside for Eric and delivering it to his desk, and Eric himself seems to be more obsessed with one-man.
In order to monitor the activities of the German First Army, Poland did not hesitate to sell its territorial sovereignty and let a tank and armored division of the Soviet Army be stationed along the Oder River, but the two sides were not at all happy about military spending, but instead let their 78th Panzer Battalion and infantry units stand guard for the Soviet Army.
However, the filth seemed to be endless, and a Type II tank purchased from France suddenly overturned off the road, causing a fire and five occupants dying instantly. The fire spread to the cavalry fodder field to the east of the camp, and overnight the entire Second Cavalry Division ran out of food and had to retreat 150 kilometers to eat.
