Rommel first had a conversation with Rundstedt, after all, Rundstedt was Rommel's boss, and he was still united with Rommel in this regard, and "confessing" to Hitler without prior notice would inevitably be suspected of "betrayal."

Rundstedt has no problem at all.

"It's time to tell the Führer!" Rundstedt replied: "Otherwise, I will be confused between the two systems and I will not be able to distinguish which is true!" ”

So Rommel sent a telegram to Hitler:

"Your Excellency, Honorable Führer!

I have to regret to tell you that we did not follow your orders, and it is not an exaggeration to say that our actions are 'deceptive'. But if I had to choose again, I wouldn't be ashamed to do it...... I'm sure if you know why we're doing this, you'll agree with us!

The most important reason is that we have reason to believe that there are spies of the British, or at least the Military Intelligence, either in your side or in the High Command, because we have sufficient evidence that all three of the three spies sent by the Military Intelligence to Dover were plotted against by the British Intelligence and provided us with false information.

From this, we can deduce that the strategic objective of the Allies to attack Dorai is an illusion, and that the real direction of their attack is Brittany and Normandy.

We were also proved right, and our troops fought fiercely with the enemy landing force in the Normandy area, while in the rear of Dolai captured the enemy's 'suspicious soldiers'.

We haven't told you this because we're worried about it...... Once you are informed of this via telegram, the information will soon be picked up by the British spies lurking around you and informed the Allies!

Believe that we are not acting out of suspicion or betrayal of you, but out of loyalty to you, to Germany and to the Germanic peoples!

Wait for your next instructions. ”

Rommel read the text again from top to bottom, and then handed it to Qin Chuan for him to check, and after it was okay, he ordered the staff officer to send the telegram.

Then both men, as well as Rundstedt, who was at the command in Paris, were waiting for Hitler's reply.

But the radio remained silent, and after a long time no word came, and Rommel even had some doubts about whether Hitler had received the telegram.

Of course, Hitler received the telegram, and his habit was to go to bed at three or four o'clock in the morning, not to mention that at this time the French defense line was bustling again, and it was only nine o'clock in the night.

This is also the reason why he would lash out in anger when he received Rommel's telegram.

Because it meant that all his "directives" were ineffective, and Hitler's various troop transfers with a cadre of the Supreme Command seemed to be a play with no practical significance.

Hitler's first feeling was that he had been fooled by Rundstedt and Rommel, and even suspected that they were carrying their own troops or planning to betray him and surrender to the Allies...... The so-called "fear of intelligence being obtained by British spies" was nothing more than an excuse for them.

"These bastards!" Hitler scolded: "Shameless villains, they betrayed me, betrayed Germany...... And I believe in them so much! ”

In the next second, Hitler was thinking about whether to forcibly explain the command of Rundstedt and Rommel, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong...... If Rommel and Rundstedt were going to betray themselves and surrender to the Allies, there was no need to send this telegram to inform them.

Or do they want to occupy France and set themselves up as kings?

It also doesn't seem right, because the Allies are attacking France, which is clearly not a good time to set himself up as king.

Thinking of this, Hitler turned his gaze to the telegram and re-read its contents...... Then there were some people who believed that what the telegram said was true, and that it was very likely that the British had planted spies in the German hierarchy.

After thinking about it for a while, Hitler called Rommel back: "I was shocked and unbelievable to see this, that there were British spies lurking around me. I thought, my general, you'd better go to Berlin and explain this in person! ”

Hitler killed two birds with one stone, and on the surface it seemed that he believed Rommel and asked him to go to Berlin to explain, but in fact he was testing Rommel...... If Rommel did not dare to go to Berlin, it would mean that Rommel had a different heart. At the same time, if Rommel had a different intention and rushed to Berlin, then Hitler could easily arrest him.

Rommel, of course, understood this.

Therefore, even though he was still in command at the front at this time, and it was not only a long way but also very dangerous to rush from France to Berlin at this time, Rommel still didn't think much about it and agreed to it.

"Yes, Your Excellency, I will leave at once!"

Rommel took the telegram and raised it towards Qin Chuan, saying, "It seems that we have to go to Berlin!" ”

At any other time, it would have been impractical to rush to Berlin from the French front, because the area was the main part of the Allied bombing and blockade, the roads and railways that had been bombed during the day had no time to be repaired, the roads were crowded with many transport and reinforcements, and there were Allied planes in the sky firing flares and attacking in the dark......

But this did not have much difficulty for Rommel, since the Germans had helicopters.

And these helicopters are safe, even if they are deployed on the front lines.

The reason is that this is France, and the Allies do not dare to bomb civilian areas, or it can be said that they do not dare to bomb civilian areas blatantly.

Helicopters have almost no requirements for airports, as long as there is enough space.

So, the Germans placed helicopters in the barns of the French people.

Of course, the barn needs to be modified a bit before it is placed so that the propeller does not touch anything.

What's more, they simply set up several hangars in the civilian section...... From the outside, these hangars look like houses, but inside they hide helicopters.

"I have to say, it's a good invention, Lieutenant Colonel!" Rommel looked at a helicopter towed out of the hangar and exclaimed: "Without it, we would now have to take a car back to Berlin, and then I might have to refuse the Führer's order...... You know what that means! ”

Of course, Qin Chuan knew what that meant.

However, perhaps Hitler knew that they had a helicopter and could go to Berlin to report to him, otherwise he would not have asked for this...... Anyone knows that the front line needs Rommel's command.
