"A large number of armored vehicles, tanks and planes!" General Kramer made no secret of his pessimism: "There are also countless warships. When tanks and armored vehicles are moving, dust and exhaust fumes cover almost the entire sky...... I've never seen such supplies and equipment. IMHO, Your Excellency Marshal, our opponents are much stronger than ours! ”

"General Kramer!" Rundstedt interjected: "Field Marshal Rommel and his men have always believed that the Allied 1st Army does not exist, and they have not assembled in Dover...... Do you have any thoughts on this? ”

"Of course they are true, Marshal Rommel!" General Kramer said to Rommel: "I saw it with my own eyes in Dover, and before leaving, George . . . Patton also invited me to dinner with him, along with many of the commanders of the 1st Army. The commander of the 3rd Armored Division, the chief of staff of the 5th Infantry Division, and the Airborne Division, and so on! They were well prepared...... They also occasionally mention Calais during meals, and I believe they intend to attack Calais! ”

Rommel nodded, then glanced at Qin Chuan behind him.

"Field Marshal Rommel!" Rundstedt raised his glass like a victor: "To General Kramer, to him who has found the truth for us...... I think it's time for our argument to come to an end! ”

Rommel raised his glass and replied helplessly: "Of course, Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief!" ”

"I won't mind your verbal assault on me before, Marshal Rommel!" With a gentleman's smile, Rundstedt said with a gentleman's smile, and raised his wine glass towards Qin Chuan: "Of course, there are also your arrogant and ignorant subordinates. I wouldn't mind, being young and vigorous can be forgiven, but I want you and your men to know that the battlefield is not a place where people will forgive. ”

"Of course, Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief!" Rommel replied, and after he looked at Qin Chuan behind him, he replied, "My subordinates and I apologize to you!" ”

"I accept!" Rundstedt nodded: "Not because of anything else, but because we have a common enemy!" ”

As Rommel got up to leave, Rundstedt deliberately stopped him behind him.

"General Rommel!" Rundstedt said: "I hope this will not affect the cooperation between us, what do you say? ”

"Of course, Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief!"

"Besides......" Rundstedt confessed, "could you give an explanation for the additional offices and investigators in the command and let them return to their jobs!" ”

Rundstedt This is simply a redundant move, and the personnel in the command, including Schuster, are all Rundstedt's people, and it is just a matter of his words to remove this special investigation agency.

But Rundstedt wanted Rommel to go in person, and his purpose was obvious, to humiliate Rommel as much as he could, in front of those low-level officials.

Rommel gritted his teeth and replied without looking back: "Of course, Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief!" ”

On the way to the headquarters, Rommel's face turned pale and he did not say a word. Rommel even sat in the car for a few seconds when the car stopped in front of the command department, seemingly not knowing how to explain the matter to Colonel Schuster, or rather...... It is to be mentally prepared for humiliation.

Colonel Slein said, "Perhaps I can convey orders on your behalf, Your Excellency!" ”

"No, Colonel!" Rommel replied with a straight face: "This is my business!" ”

Rommel never flinched in the face of difficulties, and this time was no exception.

With that, Rommel got out of the car, then put on his military hat and adjusted his military uniform and walked towards the headquarters.

In the office, Colonel Schuster and the others were still running back and forth in piles of materials and documents, hoping to find something that would expose the 1st Army, but apparently they had not been able to find it until now.

"Your Excellency, Marshal!" When Colonel Schuster saw Rommel coming in, he stepped forward with the document and said: "We have found several unreasonable places, and I wonder if we can ...... it."

"Colonel!" Rommel interrupted Colonel Schuster: "Tell your men to stop what they are doing, I have an order to issue!" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency Marshal!" Schuster sensed something in Rommel's expression, and he glanced at everyone in bewilderment, and gathered all his men around.

"Your Excellency, Marshal!" Qin Chuan said, "Can I say a few words to them before you give the order?" ”

Rommel nodded.

"From now on!" Qin Chuan said: "We have to stop all the work at hand, all of it!" ”

"Why?" Schuster asked hesitantly.

"Because ......" Qin Chuan replied: "We have found a new breakthrough, I believe that this breakthrough can allow us to find the answer, and it is not difficult to do!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Rommel and Colonel Slain looked at Qin Chuan in surprise.

"What do you mean, Lieutenant Colonel?" Rommel asked.

"Your Excellency, Marshal!" Qin Chuan replied: "Do you remember the temptation we made to 'Brutus' before? ”

"Of course I do!" Rommel replied: "But it has failed!" ”

"No, it didn't fail!" Qin Chuan replied: "Actually, I think it has already worked!" ”

"I don't understand!" Rommel said: "Lieutenant Colonel, if you are trying to save face for me, I don't need to ......"

"No, Your Excellency Marshal!" Qin Chuan replied: "Do you think I would do such a stupid thing?" ”

Rommel was stunned for a moment, and then spread his hands: "So...... Tell me your reasons, Lieutenant Colonel! ”

"Because we tested 'Brutus'!" Qin Chuan replied: "This makes the British Intelligence Agency mistakenly think that we are all ...... I mean, including the command of the Western Front and even the Führer, they became suspicious of the Allied 1st Army, so they implemented a remedial plan! ”

Speaking of this, Qin Chuan stopped talking.

After waiting for a long time and not seeing Qin Chuan's voice, Rommel asked suspiciously, "What's next?" ”

"You know the rest of the story, Your Excellency Marshal!" Qin Chuan replied.

"No, I don't know anything!" Rommel said angrily: "I was just humiliated in that French restaurant and saw a captured subordinate safe and sound......"

Speaking of this, Rommel opened his mouth wide, and it took him a long time before he said to Qin Chuan: "You mean to say that Kramer is the remedial plan?" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency!" Qin Chuan replied: "The British didn't know that it was only a few dozen of us who suspected the 1st Army, so they hurriedly remedied it. Until then, everything that the British intelligence service had done was watertight and flawless, but it was precisely this remedial plan...... Sent us a flaw, and they delivered it to us with their own hands! ”
