On this side, Benztrop was still arguing with Ziano, and on the other side, the handsome German Führer was rushing to the Calais base on his special plane.

When the weather improved, the headquarters was back at full capacity, and at such times he had to be the leader himself, otherwise Brauchitsch alone would not be able to suppress his group of bulls, ghosts, snakes, and spirits.

It's not that Brauchitsch lacks hope and ability, in fact, the field marshal has recently risen in popularity, and if he goes a step further, he can almost be compared with Seckert and his ilk. The main thing is that the departments controlled by the German High Command span multiple branches of the military, commanding a large number of generals of the three armed forces who can be called war geniuses, this group of people are from all walks of life in Germany, and all those who can climb to the current position can be said to be elites, all of them have their own styles and norms, according to the words of the other side of the Atlantic, it is full of personality.

In the end, the German soldiers had the best obedience in all European armies, and as long as the order was given, they would find a way to do it anyway. The problem is that when there is some ambiguity, there are always some guys who will find a way to find a loophole, such as Guderian and Manstein, who are now fighting each other outside London.

"My Führer, welcome back to Calais." As soon as Xu Jun stepped off the plane, Brauchitsch walked up quickly, and raised his scepter to salute Xu Jun with the heel of his respectful boot.

"How have these two days been, my Excellency Commander-in-Chief, it looks like you look good." Xu Jun raised Marshal Yang's staff in return, and then walked to his car accompanied by Brauchitsch.

"It's the same as before, everything is going according to your plan, my Führer. It's just that there is some controversy between General Guderian and Cyprus over the direction of the offensive, and I think it should be left to you, Your Excellency, to decide. ”

"Does the High Command's plan need to be revised?" Sitting in the back seat of the Mercedes-Benz G4, Xu Jun asked Brauchitsch, who was sitting next to him.

"This is not necessary, the main thing is that General Guderian's assault cluster is in a more advantageous position. He asked to change the sequence of the attack so that his assault group could act as a left hook fist, and General Manstein said that the planned sequence should be followed, Guderian's action was somewhat risky, and launching a left hook before Cyprus reached the intended position would expose the weak flanks of the assault group. ”

Brauchitsch was so anguimous by the two bigwigs on the front line that his brain hurt, but because the headquarters was far away from the front line. The ever-changing battlefield situation is not as clear as the front-line commanders have mastered. Both Keitel and Yoddle said that the issue should not be taken personally, but that it must be carefully considered, because the sudden lack of sufficient information about the incident made it impossible for the Operations Service and the Staff Service to come up with a decent idea. Because both of them have good reasons and have their own reasons, the staff officers in the command are now divided into several factions, and they are arguing fiercely.

"Well, I'll see what's wrong when I get to the headquarters. That's right. I've brought a few good bottles of wine from Port Kiel, and I'll have Tysenhofen bring it to you later. ”

Xu Jun took off his military hat and brushed his hair, his subordinates were too capable and there was indeed a lot of pressure on the commander, especially the group of generals in the German army, all of whom had rich combat experience and had the ability to make personal judgments on the front-line situation.

Brauchitsch can't be blamed for this matter, and only Xu Jun can have the confidence to solve similar problems. led the German army to victory several times in a row, and the fame of the head of the empire as a military god has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. On military matters, no one will already doubt the judgment and decisions he made.

After three days, there was no change in the high command. Xu Jun looked at the officers and soldiers running in and out of the slatted room, and it was like being in two worlds with the quiet Port of Kiel. The six-wheeled Mercedes-Benz off-road sedan drove to the door of the central building of the headquarters and stopped, and the army guards at the door hurriedly raised their rifles and saluted. Tysenhofen quickly jumped out of the car and opened the door for Xu Jun.

"Have Keitel, Yodel, and the staff officers of the Operations Division assemble in the conference room in twenty minutes, with all relevant intelligence information." Xu Jun nodded at Brauchitsch, and then strode into the door of the wooden house.

"My Führer. This is the information we heard this morning, and this is a confession from a captive. In the elegantly decorated Führer's office, Kirsten leaned over and placed a document on his desk.

"It's ten o'clock in the morning, and the intelligence time is half past six, and three and a half hours have passed. What new discoveries were made during the period. Xu Jun opened the folder and looked at the time marked in the record first. If the results in this interception log are true, then it can reveal a lot of problems, and who else has seen the document. ”

"This is the information sent directly back by the 700th Listening Group from the front line, and they should have provided it to the E Cluster Command and several army group commanders."

"Perhaps this is what Guderian ordered his troops to launch an immediate assault." Xu Jun put the listening information aside, he stood up and walked to the large-scale map of Britain on the wall, picked up a magnifying glass and carefully searched for the landmarks mentioned on the intelligence.

"The breach in the line of defense mentioned in the intelligence is here, almost five kilometers from New Malden to Mitchum, and there are no fortifications or pre-defined positions at all, and the British have apparently discovered this flaw, and they are mobilizing the army and local militia to remedy it, believing that the gap will disappear within twenty-four hours.

Personally, I am inclined to General Guderian's judgment that if we can seize this opportunity and break through from this direction, we can directly penetrate the flank of the outer defense line on the west side of London, and if the follow-up troops can keep up, we can cut this area of London from the defensive ring, so that we can at least reduce the size of the encirclement by three percent, and more troops can be freed up to join the attack queue in the city. Kirsten pointed out the area in the intelligence to Xu Jun on the side, and boldly put forward her personal views and suggestions.

Manstein's judgment also has his reason, the Cypriot Corps is more effective than Guderian's existing assault group, Guderian's Second Panzer Division has not been completely reequipped, they still retain a large number of light vehicles, maybe the speed will be a little faster than Cyprus, but there are obvious shortcomings in attack and defense.

If he had followed his plan, he would have cut through the enemy line from here and cut through this large area of town. It really takes our plans a big step forward. But I was worried about whether he would be able to withstand the frantic counterattack of the British, and whether the 2nd Panzer Division, with its existing equipment, would be able to hold this line. It is important to know that on the western side, London also retains at least one tank brigade of armored brigades and two infantry brigades with strong combat capabilities. Guderian will definitely be attacked from both sides.

I fear that this may be a carefully set trap by the British, who have deliberately exposed such a glaring loophole to draw our assault forces in. They don't need to win, they just entangle these forces and wait for reinforcements from the north and overseas to arrive and drag us into a protracted war. Xu Jun put the magnifying glass on the table on the side, and he held his arm and looked at the map in front of him. After discussing war with those military geniuses for so long, he had already begun to have his own strategic vision.

"You can look at this confession again, and you may have the answer you want." Kirsten stood aside and respectfully suggested. Xu Jun glanced back at his intelligence officer, then nodded and walked back to his desk. Picked up the paperwork.

"This? Is it a corruption case? ”

"It's a corruption case, my Führer. The area was originally garrisoned by the British Army's 6th Infantry Division, which trained around and was responsible for building defensive positions in the area. Some time ago, there was a problem with the speculation of several senior officers of the 6th Infantry Division, their goods were sent to the bottom of the sea by German Navy submarines, and the failure of the business led to a large amount of private loans, you know what that means.

In order to repay their debts, they took risks and secretly sold a large number of building materials and tools used to build fortifications to the black market. Of course, the funds allocated for the construction also went into their pockets. At that time, they did not believe that the Germans could successfully land on the British mainland, so they had the courage to do such tricks. They had a good plan, and they were going to fill the basket when the funds came over. As a result, before they could recover their breath, the 6th Division was transferred to the front line of Folkestone.

The problem is that these guys have a high position and are experienced. The report to the boss is watertight. The British Army had always thought that a complete defense system had been built there, and that it could be used immediately if the troops were transferred there. Due to the lack of troops in London, there had been no troops for a week, so no one found out about the deception. As a result, this morning, an infantry platoon prepared to stand for the troops stationed in the field arrived at the location marked on the map. However, it was found that there was only an ordinary street and residential area in the area, and there was a flat wasteland next to the road, and there was no trace of any fortifications at all. At first, they thought they were running the wrong way, but after repeated verification, they realized the seriousness of the problem.

Judging by the communication, they still don't understand what the problem is. According to my personal judgment, now that the Sixth Infantry Division has been completely wiped out, and the level of the personnel left behind is too low, I don't think the British would have guessed that there would be such a tortuous story behind it until they died. Kirsten told Xu Jun an unbelievable story in one breath, which stunned the German Führer.

"Wait a little longer for you to join us at the regular meeting, and I think the marshals and generals of the headquarters will also be interested in this story. If we can be sure that the British have no trap here, I support Guderian's decision, we must seize this loophole, and at the same time we must give him full support, we can devise a plan specifically for this, and when the weather clears, the air force should be able to participate in this attack. Xu Jun stood up, he picked up the file on the desktop and tucked it under his arm.

"By the way, congratulations, Lieutenant Colonel. Your name is on the list for this promotion, and I'm sure you've heard of it. General Weirle greatly appreciates your efforts during this time, and I very much agree with his opinion. You're going to be the highest-ranking female officer in the Wehrmacht, and I think your family will be proud of you. Xu Jun walked to the door, took the military cap handed over by Kirsten and put it on his head, and he congratulated his intelligence officer early.

"Thank you very much, my Führer, I am convinced of this." The beautiful female intelligence officer neatly opened the door for Xu Jun.
