Chapter 868: Submarine

Qin Chuan guessed correctly.

When Rommel and Qin Chuan were alone in the same office, Rommel sighed dejectedly: "Lieutenant Colonel, I'm wondering if we are wrong. The Allied target may really be Calais! ”

"No, General!" Qin Chuan replied: "After knowing this information, I am even more sure that the target of the Allied attack is not Calais but the Brittany Peninsula!" ”

"Why?" Rommel looked at Qin Chuan suspiciously.

Qin Chuan pointed to the map and said, "Northern Scotland has assembled the Fourth Army to prepare to attack Norway?" Forget it! Several Soviet mountain divisions were beaten miserably by one of our mountain divisions in the Caucasus Mountains, while the Allies did not even have mountain divisions, they were not familiar with the terrain and had no mountain troops, and more importantly, they knew that we had helicopters to easily support mountain operations, and they would actually attack Norway? That's a dead end! ”

Rommel couldn't help but nod when he heard this, knowing that the KiallΓ©an Mountains in Norway are 1,700 kilometers long and 200 to 600 kilometers deep...... It's a natural barrier.

If the Germans did not have helicopters, then it was indeed possible for the American and British allies to land in Norway, after all, this could directly support the Soviet Union in attacking the German Northern Front.

But after the Germans had helicopters, this is what the Germans wanted, to fight a hard-fought war in the mountains.

"Then ......" Rommel understood: "From this point of view, that is, if the attack of the 4th Army is fake, then all the information heard by radio is also false, and the British are deliberately letting us hear this!" ”

"Yes!" Qin Chuan replied: "At the same time, you will find that we can't verify whether the information heard by these radio monitors is true, because they have implemented wartime emergency traffic control, and our spies can't get there in time." ”

"Yes!" Rommel said: "It is also outside the reconnaissance range of our reconnaissance aircraft, not to mention warships!" It's all such a coincidence...... The end result is that we can only judge by radio listening to their propaganda and activities in Norway! ”

"Yes!" Qin Chuan said: "So, this is obviously a trap, they have no intention of attacking Norway at all!" ”

"If the British could falsify the radio communications of the 4th Army!" Rommel said: "Then they can of course also falsify the radio communications of the 1st Army in Dover." ”

"Of course!" Qin Chuan said: "The British would not be so stupid to expose the number of troops, the strength of the troops, and even the number of warships to our reconnaissance before the war!" ”

"And what's going on at the military base in Dover?" Rommel asked.

"Your Excellency, Marshal!" Qin Chuan said: "You have done the same thing in Africa and deceived the British!" ”

Rommel couldn't help but nod when he heard this, and then laughed self-deprecatingly: "I just didn't expect the British to learn so quickly!" ”

The two couldn't help laughing.

After a pause, Rommel said, "Then those three spies...... It must have been rebelled! ”

Qin Chuan raised the information of the three spies, and then said: "They went to Britain through the identity of a neutral country, and several of them have been active in a neutral country for several years, so it should not be a problem in terms of identity." Here's the problem...... The intelligence network of the British has long been spread in neutral countries, and they may have been targeted by British intelligence officers long before they were sent to Britain! ”

Although Qin Chuan knew that this was not the case, he could only explain it in this way.

Rommel agreed.

This is because the British and German intelligence officers are indeed engaged in all kinds of open and covert battles in neutral countries, and the German intelligence officers are obviously at a disadvantage.

At Qin Chuan's words, Rommel apparently regained his confidence, and he said while flipping through the documents: "But the more important question is...... We have no evidence, only hard evidence, we have a way to convince them! ”

"I wonder if we have submarines in the North Sea!" Qin Chuan said.

"Submarines?" Rommel replied: "Of course, we have been sneaking up on British transports all the time!" But it's getting harder and harder...... Why do you ask about submarines? ”

"If time permits!" Qin Chuan said: "I'm wondering if I can let the submarine send a small team to Scotland to reconnoitre, I mean the 4th Army!" ”

Rommel thought for a moment, then stood up and said to Colonel Schuster: "Contact the Navy immediately!" ”

Qin Chuan is betting on luck.

He was betting not only on whether there would be submarines in the North Sea, but also on whether they would be close enough to the Scottish coast.

The reason is that Qin Chuan also knew about the existence of British "super secrets".

However, on the one hand, "super secret" does not listen to every cipher and decipher it, if it does, it will not be able to decipher all those ciphers even if it is turned on all day.

So, it definitely has a priority.

For example, the telegram sent to Hitler, and then the transmission of cipher telegrams in France at this time.

Telegrams sent to the Navy, as well as telegrams sent by the Navy, should be of lower priority.

On the other hand, it takes time for these ciphers to be listened upon, aggregated, and then sent to "super secret".

Qin Chuan estimated that it could take several days to decipher with this level of priority...... The secret telegram with Hitler was of the highest priority, and as mentioned earlier, when Rommel was fighting the Allies in Africa, Churchill already knew the contents of the telegram sent by Hitler to Rommel before it could reach Rommel.

(Note: Rommel often commanded operations on the front line, and it took time for telegrams to reach him)

But because of this, other telegrams are more likely to go unnoticed.

That is, the submarine may have a couple of days.

Of course, these are just Qin Chuan's speculations, although Qin Chuan knows about "super secrets", he also knows nothing else, if anything...... That is to know that it is the most primitive computer.

But now it seems that Qin Chuan can only try his luck.

Fortunately, after a while, Rommel took a telegram and excitedly said to Qin Chuan: "We happen to have a submarine near Edinburgh, which is only two hours away, but it must wait until dark to move!" ”

Qin Chuan looked at his watch, there was still an hour before it got dark...... In other words, it would take only three to five hours for the scouts of German submarines to go ashore and reconnoiter the 4th Army in Edinburgh, Scotland.

The situation was much better than Qin Chuan had predicted, which could be regarded as a surprise.

However, who knows what the outcome of this reconnaissance operation will be?
