Chapter 865: Intelligence

Western Front Command.

Rommel cursed in his office as he flipped through the papers:

"These self-righteous bastards, ignorant and stupid, all they can give Germany is resistance and harm!"

"They're the ones who don't know anything!"

……

Rommel never chattered so much as he did now, and even sometimes threw documents on the table with such a "bang" that Colonel Schuster, the chief of the intelligence department who was in charge of receiving and cooperating with Rommel's organizational intelligence, sat on his back and did not dare to breathe...... Even though he was a subordinate of Rundstedt, he still did not dare to provoke a marshal like Rommel.

"You mean it, don't you?" Colonel Slain glanced at Rommel, who was still indignant, and asked Qin Chuan in a low voice.

"What?" Qin Chuan asked rhetorically.

"Please, you know what I'm talking about!" Colonel Slane said, "Don't take me for a fool! ”

Qin Chuan smiled, which could be regarded as an answer to Colonel Slane.

"Good!" Colonel Slain smiled wryly, "I'm not sure if we've been tricked by British intelligence, but it's certain...... Both marshals have been tricked by you! ”

Colonel Slain guessed correctly, Qin Chuan deliberately provoked the conflict between Rommel and Rundstedt.

This is actually another method of agitation.

For Rommel...... What Rommel hated most was to be used by others, but he was used by Rundstedt, and what was worse was that Rommel had not yet realized that he was being used, running around the front line like a fool, while Rundstedt and others were laughing at the rear while enjoying good food and wine.

This is a shame for Rommel, a complete humiliation, so when Qin Chuan reveals this, Rommel will of course be angry and turn his face with Rundstedt.

And the best excuse to turn the other cheek is obviously not to be "used", which will only make Rommel cry out from the perspective of a "loser...... No one in the army would want to stand with such a resentful commander.

So a better excuse is to point out that Rundstedt is the one who was fooled, fooled by the British, and the "Desert Fox" Rommel was right, as Qin Chuan said.

If this could be proven, Rommel would be able to wash away all the shame that Rundstedt had imposed on him, and in turn would have Rundstedt humiliated.

Sure enough, as Qin Chuan expected, Rommel really chose this path, in fact, it seems that this cannot be said to be a "choice", but a knee-jerk reaction.

For Rundstedt, he was in a dilemma.

Rommel and even a lieutenant colonel challenged his authority.

If he still uses his position to deny Rommel access to information or limited access to information, then it is a sign of cowardice, which will be regarded as not daring to fight.

Of course, the extremely conceited Rundstedt could not stand this humiliation, so of course he chose to fight.

The way to deal with the war was to put all the information in front of Rommel and the ignorant and arrogant lieutenant colonel, and tell them the facts...... This information was true, and the General Command of the Western Front was not fooled.

"I'll even organize people to cooperate with them to check it!" To his subordinates, Rundstedt said privately: "Give them a good environment, and let them be brought the best food and lodging every day so that they can concentrate on their work." But one day, they will come up to me and admit their mistakes! ”

At this time, Rundstedt didn't realize that he had jumped into the trap set by Qin Chuan, or he vaguely felt it, but he was willing to jump into this trap in order to protect his face in front of everyone.

The first half of what Rundstedt says does exactly that.

Qin Chuan, Rommel and the others were given five spacious and bright offices connected together, which were equipped with desks, telephones, telegrams, etc., and also received 30 assistants, including Colonel Schuster, the head of the intelligence department, who were responsible for finding and moving all the materials Rommel needed from the reference room, and assisting Rommel in checking and even verifying.

In terms of room and board, it is even more exaggerated, 24-hour uninterrupted supply of coffee and juice is just a small thing, breakfast, lunch and dinner and supper will be delivered regularly, and it can be called luxurious, first-class wine, steak, bread, roast duck, turkey, caviar......

However, this was quickly rejected by Rommel.

"We don't need this kind of enjoyment!" Rommel said: "We are here for work and not for food, just bring us bread and coffee regularly!" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency Marshal!" Colonel Schuster did not dare to disobey Rommel's orders, and immediately conveyed Rommel's intentions.

This is bitter Qin Chuan and Colonel Slane, they have been on the front line for a while, and when they see these things, they can't help but drool, and they finally eat two good meals, but they didn't expect it to be gone.

But fortunately, where Rommel lived, there was no objection...... The accommodation is just opposite the office, about 30 meters away from another building, one room per person, with a clean big bed, bathroom, and wine.

Even better, you can add food at any time in the dormitory, just talk to the waiter, and they will have the food ready to be delivered to the room within half an hour.

Rommel didn't refuse, perhaps because he didn't know anything about it, because except for the occasional visit to this luxurious dormitory to take a shower, he basically stayed in the office the rest of the time, slept on the desk when he was sleepy, and continued to work when he woke up.

This may be a norm for Rommel, and sometimes even Qin Chuan and Slain, who have been on the battlefield all year round, feel a little scary to watch.

Of course, the most important thing is to get down to business.

This time the intelligence analysis is different from the last time...... The last "minced meat plan" about the Battle of Sicily was actually just a corpse, and the entire amount of information and points that needed attention was not much, plus Qin Chuan knew the truth, so it was easy to find the loophole in a very short time.

But this time it's not that simple.

The amount of information is so large that just one aspect of the information can fill the office, although Qin Chuan also knows that this information is fake, but this does not mean anything, he needs to find loopholes or logical errors in these information to prove it.

In fact, they can be said to be the best intelligence organization of this era, so even false intelligence has been carefully designed and demonstrated.

Qin Chuan wanted to find the problem from it, it was not as easy as he imagined.
