Let's rewind the clock to six hours ago, before the British announced Turing's execution. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"What? He's dead? When Churchill heard the news, his face turned green in an instant. He stood up and wanted to slap the person who sent the message twice!
Turing was held in a separate room, without abuse or torture, and died in such an unknown way! How can this be accepted?
Finally, I got the news that Turing was a shadow member from the German side, and before I could ask anyone else, I broke this clue, which made people feel the urge to collapse.
However, Turing was really dead, he was not tortured to death, nor was he executed by the British, the only one
Churchill looked at the person who came to deliver the news, and asked fiercely: "You explain it to me!" How exactly did Turing die? β
"We took turns interrogating him, and then he had a nervous breakdown...... We asked a lot of questions, some of them answered, some of them talked nonsense, and we had to let him rest......" The officer from the secret security bureau who came to report the matter replied helplessly.
He knew that what Churchill wanted to ask was news about the shadows. If he can't answer, the entire Secret Security Bureau will face disaster.
It's easy to understand - you finally caught a shadow member, and you let him die for no apparent reason, are you in the same party? Was it an accomplice who was bought by the Germans? Is it a traitor?
"Every hour, we knocked on the door and told him to get up, but the third time he was told to rest, he hanged himself......"
"Where's the rope?" Churchill looked at the people in the secret security bureau and grasped the point of the sentence.
The officer of the secret security service was also embarrassed and explained: "We ...... Didn't confiscate his tie and shoelaces......"
"What are you doing? Yes? Deal with this kind of thing on the first day? Or is it that the person who handled it was complicit? Also a 'shadow'? Churchill slapped the table in exasperation and yelled.
"I'm sorry, sir...... We were also interrogated for two days in a row, and we were a little unfocused. And we didn't expect him to commit suicide suddenly......" replied the officer of the Secret Security Bureau.
"Arrest all the officers who interrogated Turing! Every one of them will be interrogated! In particular, those responsible for Turing's safety must be interrogated clearly! Do you understand? "Churchill is already a little hysterical, he's in a very bad mood right now.
It's like a volcano, and it can erupt at any time. He didn't outburst his anger now, just because it was what he had been used to.
"That's already happening...... Sir. The person in charge had committed suicide when we went to find him after Turing's death...... "The officer was even more depressed when he mentioned this, and the colleague used his own death to make Turing's death even more bizarre."
Originally, Turing's suicide was enough to make people feel unclear, and now another person in charge of the guard committed suicide, which makes this matter even more unreasonable and problematic.
In fact, this is very understandable, because Turing's accidental death made the person in charge of the guard feel pressured, and he had a premonition that he would soon be in a catastrophe and would be focused on detention and interrogation, so he chose a more dignified death......
Originally, this was not the case, but this is a state of war, and it is in a state of unfavorable war, people's emotions have been out of control, and people's thinking has been distorted.
Especially under the premise that the intelligence services have been suspected many times, and the shadow of the Germans has made everyone suspicious, there are more and more people with suicidal tendencies.
Not only this guard, in the past 10 days, seven people have committed suicide due to stress in the British intelligence services and the Navy and Air Force, and the death of this guard is only the eighth.
However, after Turing's death, he chose to die, and the entire secret security bureau fell into an unprecedented crisis.
"This man is also dead? He's a 'shadow'! He must also be a member of the Shadows! Definitely! Definitely! Churchill reasoned casually, and felt that the explanation made sense!
Turing was exposed because of the news provided by the German traitors that Britain accidentally obtained, so in order to protect themselves, the shadow group took action to kill this flaw that might expose the other members of the shadow!
Then, the head of the guard, who was in charge of the operation, became the object of suspicion - rather than waiting to be caught and interrogated by the security bureau, it was better to die himself......
With this reasoning, it makes perfect sense, doesn't it? Churchill also felt that he had found the crux of the problem, and asked with a sneer: "Secret Security Bureau...... Can anyone else be trusted? Or are you worthy of my trust? β
The officer of the secret security bureau immediately became embarrassed, and hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Sir! I'm just a liaison officer, my whole family is British, I'm innocent ......"
Before he could open his mouth to explain, Churchill interrupted him: "Enough, let me ask you, where was your interrogation record before Turing's death?" Did Turing mention the names of the officers or others? β
"Before Turing died, he was already in a very bad mental state......" The officer of the secret security bureau had just explained, and he saw Churchill's eyes that seemed to kill people.
So he quickly swallowed the words that he wanted to excuse the others, and said in a different tone: "He mentioned Lieutenant General Clark...... And Major General Semp...... Specifically, there are some of his classmates and students...... But ......"
"That's it! Arrest all those who mention Turing by name! Start the interrogation now! If there is any problem this time, or if there is no progress, then I will order the army to arrest all the people of the secret security bureau and shoot them one by one! Churchill interrupted the officer and said viciously.
Then he went on to command: "There is one more thing that needs to be done at once!" What kind of work did this person in charge, or these inquisitors who interrogated Turing, do they do in the previous review? β
While asking, Churchill's fierce eyes stared at the officers of the secret security service: "If they have interrogated officers before, those officers who have been interrogated will have to be examined again!" Have to! β
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, the officer in charge of liaison with the Secret Security Bureau hurriedly stood up and saluted, and opened his mouth to agree: "Obey, sir!" β
"What if! This time, what went wrong...... The people of the Secret Security Service, including you, are no longer trusted...... I'll find you a good home, understand? Churchill's voice was deep, and his tone was almost murderous.
In fact, he already has murderous intentions, because many departments are now cheating on him, at least making him feel cheated!
For example, only a few days ago he received an explanation from the intelligence services confirming that the production of anti-aircraft guns was not so rapid in practice, and that some units that had accepted 30 anti-aircraft guns in paper received only 25 in reality.
Another piece of news was that the production of artillery and other heavy weapons had affected the production of fighter jets on British soil - a news that had been withheld until two days earlier, when Churchill became aware of it.
To make matters worse, although 500,000 troops had been mobilized on the British mainland, and the 300,000 had been evacuated from Dunkirk, the garrison had been expanded to 800,000.
However, these forces lacked heavy weapons, and because of the recent Sirte intelligence brought back by Cunningham, they were scattered hundreds of kilometers of coastline to defend against landingsβso they were still underarmed.
The lack of troops led to the overstretching of the entire coastal defense line, and the lack of troops did not inform Churchill, and the news was also concealed.
These circumstances made Churchill suspicious, and he did not know whether there was a "shadow" around him, and how many "shadows" were hovering within the army, navy, and air force.
While he was thinking, the phone rang suddenly, and Churchill grabbed the phone and heard a message that made him feel that the situation was even more serious.
The secret radar station he established was also destroyed by German bombers, although this time it was only aimed at the antenna, and did not destroy the main body of the radar station, but it still paralyzed the radar station.
"What? Why did the Germans find our radar station again? Churchill asked the question in a depressed voice.
"Yes, sir! But this time, the Germans only attacked the radar antenna at a great distance from the bunker and did not completely destroy the radar station! On the other side of the phone, Dowding's report had already changed its flavor in Churchill's ears.
"We intend to rebuild that radar station! And deploy more anti-aircraft guns nearby! Churchill didn't listen to a word of Dowding's response.
In fact, the moment he heard the report, he had already pushed the problem onto the "shadow" group in Germany.
Aside from the fact that the Shadow had once again found the secret radar station of the British, Churchill had no better explanation for the matter.
However, this incident was just a targeted random incident - the German fighter pilots stumbled upon these tall radar antennas during a dogfight, and then reported the "discovery".
So the Luftwaffe sent planes and bombed this radar station. However, because of the haste of preparations, the bombing accuracy was not high, and only the radar antenna, which was easy to repair, was damaged, but the more important part of the base was not destroyed.
Churchill, however, linked this fortuitous incident to the increasingly intense "shadow" investigation problem, subjectively magnifying the threat of the shadow.
Of course, this is only the beginning of a series of miscalculations against the shadow in Britain in October, and the story that follows is even more bizarre and exciting.
