Chapter 393: Multiple Choice Questions

"But, Your Excellency!" Rommel said: "What the captain said was reasonable, he even deduced it without even knowing anything about the situation!" โ€

"It's probably just a coincidence, my general!" Hitler replied.

"If the British succeed in landing in Sicily, then everything is over!" "North Africa will be completely cut off from Europe, and the British will use the airfields in Sicily to defeat our fleet first and then land from the long and flat Algerian coastline instead of the Gabรจs line in Tunisia, which is full of mountains!" Rommel said. โ€

"The same is true of Greece, General!" Hitler said: "You know what it will mean if the Allies occupy Greece!" โ€

Rommel found himself with nothing to say, it was like doing a multiple-choice question, with only two options, Greece and Sicily.

This question doesn't seem to be difficult to do, choose one of the two.

But the problem is that both options are important, and both options are possible...... Which one to choose seems to be just a thought of the British, and it is very difficult to guess what the British think, and this is the point.

After being quiet for a while, Qin Chuan interjected: "Your Excellency, General Rommel just said...... What I'm saying is happening, I don't understand! I can know...... Did something happen? โ€

Of course, Qin Chuan was pretending to be confused. He didn't really want to know the answer, but guided the breakthrough in this direction.

Rommel was also a smart man, and he immediately thought of this, and then also looked at Hitler with a curious gaze.

Hitler looked at Qin Chuan, then at Rommel, then nodded and said, "Yes, something did happen!" โ€

Hitler paused, apparently considering whether he should tell the truth...... This is a high-level secret, and there is nothing wrong with telling Rommel about it, but Qin Chuan is just a captain, and a captain does not have the authority to know this secret.

But after thinking about it for a while, Hitler thought that he could say it.

This is based on two points:

First of all, it was Qin Chuan who had already estimated this before this, and then the conversation between Rommel and Hitler before...... A fool can analyze what must have happened in this, so the secret is not a secret.

Secondly, Qin Chuan was the person brought by Rommel, and Hitler could see from Rommel's expression that this captain was someone whom Rommel absolutely trusted.

This was immediately verified, because in the next second Rommel understood what Hitler meant, and he nodded slightly at Hitler.

"Here's the thing!" Hitler put his hands behind his back and paced in front of the window: "They found the body of a British major, and on the body there was a briefcase, and the contents of the briefcase told us...... The British were targeting Greece, not Sicily! โ€

"Your Excellency!" Rommel said: "Then the body and the briefcase must have been returned to the British in their original condition!" โ€

"Yes!" Hitler replied: "This happened in Spain, in fact, they should have been returned to the British, but the Spaniards secretly gave us information!" โ€

Rommel couldn't help but glance at Qin Chuan, and his appreciation for Qin Chuan rose to another level, because all this was actually expected by him, and the British simply did what Qin Chuan said.

"That's the point, Your Excellency!" Qin Chuan said: "If we are correct, then this information must be faked!" โ€

"You're going to be disappointed, Captain!" Hitler replied with a smile: "I admire your courage and your persistence and skepticism, but ...... Our intelligence officers carefully investigated every detail, no problems, no problems! It's real and not a guess! โ€

This is an irony of Qin Chuan and Rommel, and it is also the same thing that Hitler said to Mussolini.

Mussolini was also suspicious of the British's targets.

Hitler revealed to Mussolini the contents of Martin's secret letters, and said smugly: "I think it's true!" When we are in a hurry, this information is too important. โ€

Mussolini said: "I always had a hunch that the Allies were going to attack Sicily. โ€

Hitler emphatically said: "Intuition is not as important as intelligence, we have reliable information!" Information! โ€

However, Hitler's refusal to believe that Mussolini was justified, and Mussolini's greatest concern was that Italian territory would be attacked by the Allies, so it was natural to favor Sicily rather than Greece.

Rommel said astonishingly: "Then let me and the captain see the evidence, Your Excellency!" โ€

Hitler couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then smiled: "My general, I never knew that in addition to commanding troops to fight, you also knew how to analyze intelligence!" โ€

"No, Your Excellency!" Rommel replied: "It's not me, it's the captain!" โ€

Saying that, Rommel set his eyes on Qin Chuan: "I believe in my subordinates!" โ€

Although Qin Chuan was already in his chest, he still had to pretend to be surprised and embarrassed.

"But general, I ......"

"No, but!" Rommel said: "As long as they are disguised, there must be a flaw, prove yourself, captain!" โ€

"Yes, General!" Qin Chuan stepped forward.

Hitler glanced at Rommel and Qin Chuan with some impatience, and said: "My general, I don't think you should waste time here, you should devote more time and energy to preparing for the enemy!" โ€

"I insist, Your Excellency!" Rommel said: "Because if we do not know the enemy's goals, or even be misled by the enemy, then all my preparations will go in the wrong direction, and we will also be dealt a fatal blow!" โ€

After thinking about it for a while, Hitler nodded and said: "Very good, this is my general, the victor will always have his own persistence!" โ€

With that, Hitler picked up the phone on the desk and said, "Tell Canaris to come to the office!" โ€

As soon as he put down the phone, Hitler said to Rommel: "My general, you know, we don't easily believe a piece of information, especially one of such importance. So, before that, I specifically instructed Colonel Ron to take charge of the identification, do you know what his final conclusion is? โ€

Hitler stretched out his hands and said: "Colonel Ronner's final conclusion is that the information is completely true, and the main direction of the Allied attack is in the Peloponnese (southern Greece), and at the same time a feint attack on Sicily!" โ€

"Feng. Ronner? Rommel frowned, knowing that Colonel Roenner was known for his analytical skills in the German Military Intelligence.

If Colonel Ron can't even see the flaws, then ......

Thinking of this, Rommel couldn't help but look at Qin Chuan worriedly.
