Chapter 770: Grisdorf
Qin Chuan was found by Grisdorf, chief of the intelligence section at Army Group South's headquarters, who was tasked with carrying out the task of Field Marshal Manstein tracking baseball games and publicizing them to the Soviet Union.
(Note: It took 42 years for the German army to have an independent propaganda organization, and most of them were only used for simple propaganda on the battlefield, and the equipment was very rudimentary, and the task of penetrating the Soviet army for propaganda was mainly done by the intelligence services.) οΌ
It was a baseball match between the baseball team of the 21st Panzer Division and the Romanian 4th Mountain Division.
Qin Chuan, as a member of the 21st Armored Division and a direct superior of the captain of the baseball team, Werner, of course he was also going to shout and cheer.
Timo Werner, a professional baseball player, is a professional baseball player who can only be described as vulnerable under his command and the wielding of the baseball.
The cheers and cheers that erupted from time to time around the arena were all German soldiers, while the Romanian soldiers who came to watch the battle were all holding their heads and hanging their heads in dejection.
Qin Chuan also applauded and cheered with the Germans from time to time, and from time to time waved to Werner, who was looking at him on the field...... Although Qin Chuan couldn't understand what they were playing at all.
"Lieutenant Colonel, it's an honor to meet you!" At this time, a colonel officer took the initiative to step forward and shake hands with Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan subconsciously stood up and saluted and replied, "Me too, Colonel!" β
Then Qin Chuan felt that the colonel in front of him was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while.
"You've forgotten me, have you?" The colonel laughed: "We met, in Karachi, the FΓΌhrer visited the trophies!" β
Qin Chuan was reminded like this, and immediately remembered who this colonel was...... He was Grisdorf, a man in the rebel organization, and he was about to blow up Hitler that day, but Qin Chuan ruined a good thing.
Thinking of this, Qin Chuan's face changed unconsciously, but he quickly returned to his normal state and replied: "I remember, Colonel Grisdorf!" β
"Yes!" Colonel Grisdorf nodded, and replied with some surprise or pretended surprise: "I didn't expect the lieutenant colonel to remember my name!" β
"Of course!" Qin Chuan replied: "Because I always wanted to have the opportunity to apologize to you, Colonel!" β
"Apologize?" Grisdorf asked suspiciously, "For what?" β
"For the sake of me robbing you of your job at that time, Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied: "It should have been you and not me who introduced those weapons and equipment to the FΓΌhrer!" β
"Oh yes!" Colonel Grisdorf smiled and replied: "Maybe you should apologize, Lieutenant Colonel!" β
Qin Chuan seemed to hear the meaning of Colonel Grisdorf's words...... Qin Chuan should apologize for sabotaging Grisdorf's plan to blow up Hitler.
"Can we talk alone?" Colonel Grisdorf asked.
"Of course, Colonel!" Qin Chuan had no other choice, because he was watching the ball game at this time and there was nothing important, so he couldn't find an excuse to avoid it.
Colonel Grisdorf came this time, of course, prepared, and could even be said to have been discussed again and again and even planned at every step.
The reason why Qin Chuan's head was found was because Colonel Grisdorf had a strong feeling that the "legendary sergeant" saw through his intentions and then took Hitler out of the exhibition hall in time.
"If so, why would he do it?" Colonel Grisdorf was asked by someone in the rebel group: "If he sees through you, he can tell Hitler as soon as he walks out of the exhibition hall!" β
"I don't know!" Grisdorf replied.
"Why do you think he sees through you?" Someone asked again.
"I noticed that he was stunned for a moment while he was commenting on Hitler!" Grisdorf replied: "And look at me with vigilance and nervousness in his eyes!" β
Grisdorf was right, Qin Chuan was not trained in espionage, and he was not good at disguising himself.
Grisdorf, on the other hand, was the chief of intelligence, and he had worked in intelligence for many years, and he could easily see what from the other party's expression.
"Perhaps......" someone said, "'The Legendary Sergeant' is planning to hang big fish in a long line!" β
"No!" This speculation was quickly refuted by Grisdorf: "I have been paying attention to my surroundings all this time, and there is nothing unusual about it. I mean...... It's like nothing happened! β
"Then there's only one possibility!" In the end, the rebel group came to the conclusion: "That is, the 'legendary sergeant' does not want Hitler to die, and at the same time does not want to demolish us!" β
This is possible, and it has happened in reality...... Commander-in-Chief of the German Domestic Reserve Army, Friedrich. Admiral Fromm is one such example, he knows the clues of the rebel group, and he can follow them, but he does not do so, but secretly cooperates with the rebel group's actions.
Of course, Fromm is more of a political speculation with two boats on his feet.
The rebel group thinks that Qin Chuan is a different type.
As a result, the rebel group decided to risk Grisdorf to get close to Qinchuan...... Grisdorf is the best candidate, even if everything is wrong, that is, Qin Chuan did not see through Grisdorf, and at most Grisdorf was sacrificed alone. If they guess correctly, then they may be able to win the "Legendary Sergeant" to join their plan, and the odds will be greatly increased.
Grisdorf and Qin Chuan walked to the river, perhaps because of the attraction of a baseball game, and the river was empty.
"Let's put it that way, Lieutenant Colonel!" Grisdorf handed Qin Chuan a cigarette and said, "I admire everything you have done in the army, you have saved the lives of countless soldiers, please accept my respect!" β
"Thank you, Colonel!" Qin Chuan took the cigarette and replied, "This is what I should do!" β
"But......" said Grisdorf, after lighting the cigarettes for the two of them, "do you know how quickly this war is engulfing Germany?" β
Seeing that Qin Chuan didn't answer, Grisdorf said: "100,000 people a month, lieutenant colonel, you know, I am the director of intelligence, I know this data!" And this number will continue to increase, because ...... Because the Americans and the British were ready to open another theater of battle, and it was possible that they would land from the north of France! β
"Uh-huh!" Qin Chuan spat out a puff of smoke and said, "It's indeed an astonishing number. But we're going to win, aren't we? β
"Do you think so?" Grisdorf asked.
"Of course!" Qin Chuan replied without thinking about it: "Look, we have been winning all the time, whether it is Africa or the Soviet Union, and in the future, it will be in France!" β
Qin Chuan wanted to stop Grisdorf from continuing, because everyone knew ...... What Grisdorf is going to talk about is what the future holds for Germany at this rate, and how we can save Germany from happening.
