Hitler walked around with his hands behind his back, and after a while he stood still: "So, our White Spoon 'Torch' plan really leaked?" ā€

"Yes, my meta!"

Admiral Walter William Canales, who was in charge of intelligence, replied without hesitation:

"A few months earlier, the Kuojin had begun to consciously sell the transport companies, trading companies, oil exploration companies, and military horse farms set up by their empire to extract large amounts of cash, and by the end of October, even the immigration agencies responsible for the Jewish and Slavic migrations had been quietly closed, and a large number of workers had been evacuated in an orderly manner, all of which showed that the other side was wary of our possible attack!

"However, this does not mean that the other party can predict the prophet, and by simple inference, it can be predicted that before our White Spoon plan, they often entertained our White Spoon officials at all levels, but since the beginning of this month, this kind of banquet has stopped, and the other party's next batch of work personnel have been evacuated on a large transport plane sent by the South China side today, and the alert level of the troops in the border area of West Asia in South China has also been mentioned as high-level

"There have been a lot of things in these few years, which proves that the South China side is very likely to have obtained the exact time of our attack, and is no longer afraid of tearing face, and so far, only a few people know about the 'Torch' plan, and it is very easy to investigate who leaked the secret!"

Hitler frowned: "Canales, to the point, who do you suspect?" ā€

Canales bowed his head: "Although the chief of staff of the SS Zhong did not attend this high-level meeting, the great second vice-president, Field Marshal Heydrich, the Polish governor-general, has always trusted Zhong and consulted him on everything, and I believe that this time will be no exception. Due to the critical position of the clock, I recommend that it be captured immediately! ā€

"Is that him?"

Hitler's mind suddenly appeared with a spirit and sharp eyes of the image of the East, when Germany annexed the Czech Republic, invaded Poland and then fought against France and the Soviet Union, Zhong Lei, who followed Heydrich's side, repeatedly offered strange schemes to himself, it cannot be denied that this is a talented general, otherwise Hitler would not allow an East to enter his SS to hold an important position.

"Is there any direct evidence? Chung had already been sworn in three years ago to join the German Workers' Party and become a member of the Standing Committee of the Reich's Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the arrest of a general with outstanding service to the Reich without evidence would have severely damaged the morale of the soldiers at the front. ā€

Hitler asked with some hesitation.

As soon as Canales heard this, he knew that Hitler was vigilant, and raised his head: "Yuan can tell Field Marshal Heydrich of your suspicions, and I believe that His Excellency the Second Vice President of the Reich, who cherishes feathers, will not tolerate adultery." Moreover, dealing with the bell is an internal matter of the SS, and it is not easy to blame Yuan if you don't get in. ā€

Hitler paused, nodding his head repeatedly: "Yes, yes." Reinhard was smart and he knew what to do. Even if we can't convict Zhong, we won't let him continue to lurk among us and steal core secrets. ā€

Subsequently, Hitler sent a telegram to Heydrich, summoning Heydrich, who was training naval aviation at the Piura military port in East Prussia, to Berlin for a face-to-face lecture

At this time, An Yi did not know that there was a problem with the "nail", and after receiving the reply of "continue to lurk" from the "nail", An Yi ordered the intelligence department to strictly protect the matter and put the matter aside, and the Syrian government handled the official business for two days, so he came to the strait province with Ou Chuer to inspect the operation of the Enron Grand Canal, which is of strategic significance to South China and has just been opened for half a month, and to conduct on-the-spot inspections of the garrison and defense along the canal.

Straits Province was founded in the 40s, during which time cities and counties were added several times, but now Straits Province includes the area south of Lambi Island in southern Myanmar to the south of Gladuri, the cities and counties south of Bashu City on the southern peninsula of Son Nam Province, and the cities and counties of Guta, Liuli and Pulau Pulau in northern Malaya.

The predecessor of the Enron Grand Canal, also known as the Kra Canal, was established in early three years, when the Japanese army ravaged Southeast Asia, successively taking Malaya, the Philippines, Burma and other places, and the Indo-Pacific Ocean and the Pacific Ocean became the active stage of the Japanese Navy. The Majia Strait, which was the main passage for the entry and exit of passengers and goods of the Anjia Army, also fell into the hands of Japan, and domestic and foreign transportation was basically cut off.

In order to open up the connection between Nanhua Bay and the Indo-Pacific, and even the European continent, the Ministry of Construction of South China and the General Logistics Department of the Anjia Army revived the construction plan of the Kra Strait Canal, which was proposed by the Siamese government to threaten the British government many times.

After a large number of engineering geological personnel into the field survey, Kra Isthmus is located in Chumphon City and Lalang City, only 50 kilometers narrow from east to west, only 75 meters above sea level, and the east and west coasts are bedrock coasts, the waves are calm, the sea plain is completely consistent, which is very conducive to the construction of canals.

In three years, as the An Jiajun successfully took West India with the butt of the Sheng Shicai rebels, the latter fleet of France, which was at the end of the road, also fell into the control of the navy, and the Indian Ocean Fleet and the Pacific Fleet, which were separated by the east and west sides of the Malay Peninsula, urgently needed to be reorganized according to the actual needs of the fleet.

Moreover, the main shipyards of the Anjia Navy are all concentrated in the coastal areas of the Beibu Gulf, the South China Sea, and the Nanhua Bay, and as long as the ships are sent to the Indian Ocean, there is an urgent need for a canal connecting the eastern and western oceans.

Therefore, in August of the third year, when it was the hot month of the year in the Malay Peninsula, three engineer divisions drove to the Kra Isthmus with a large amount of construction equipment, and later joined the more than 200,000 Japanese puppet troops captured on the battlefields of India, Burma and Malaya.

By August this year, after three years of uninterrupted construction, the canal project had been successfully completed, with the construction of a large military port, four fortresses, and a bridge across the canal at the mouth of the east and west canals, all of which had been completed, and two garrison divisions and a brigade of the Second Artillery Corps guarding the safety of the canal had been stationed, and the air force and army aviation units had been added to the plan.

In January, when An Yi was still stranded in Kulen to pay close attention to the war in the Northeast and the Far East, and to deal with various forces, the joint acceptance team of the canal project composed of the South China Construction Department and the General Logistics Department of the An Jia Army had already been released. After half a month of careful and meticulous inspection, the following data were obtained:

The canal starts from the port city of Enron built on the Andaman Sea side of the Indo-Ocean in the west, and reaches the Qing'an Port of Qing'an Port on the side of the Nanhua Bay in the Pacific Ocean in the east, with a total length of 110 kilometers, a river surface width of 5 meters, a depth of 30 meters, a two-way channel, and the estuary is equipped with anti-submarine nets and radar, sonar detection and other devices to prevent hostile forces from mixing in.

Through the canal, the naval fleet of the Anjia Army can directly enter the Andaman Sea on the Indo-Ocean side from the South China Bay in the Pacific Ocean, and the voyage between the two oceans has been shortened by almost 1,250 kilometers.

After passing the acceptance, Xu Ziliang, Premier of the Government Council, He Jing, Minister of Construction of South China, and Chang Baofang, Minister of General Logistics Department, jointly asked An Yi to name the canal and the ports built on the east and west sides.

Originally, the Government Council was going to hold a vigorous navigation ceremony and invite foreign guests to attend, but it was forcibly suppressed by An Yi.

At present, the international war is in full swing, and they have not paid attention to the construction of this canal, which has been in a state of closed construction, and the Anjia Air Force has set up a forward air base on the Mergui Islands, Kok Chan Island, and Pugu Island in the Andaman Sea, and once a fleet passes nearby, it will send fighter planes to expel it, and Nanhua Bay has already become the inland sea of South China, and the Japanese Navy, which has become the hegemon of the Pacific Ocean, does not dare to go deep at all. This is extremely beneficial for the movement of the South China Fleet.

If propaganda is carried out with great fanfare, it is very likely to attract the attention of the Japanese Navy, not to mention anything else, it will be very annoying to just send submarines to frequently harass them, so the opening of the canal is simple, and no official has gone to preside over the ribbon-cutting, quietly, and the Enron Grand Canal has been open for more than half a month, and it is running well.

At this time, the German intelligence agencies had only noticed that the An Jia army was continuously massing troops to the West Asian region by rail and road, and if they had known that the troops transferred from the southwest to the west, escorted by a group army fleet, had already passed through this canal, bypassing the island of Ceylon and the southern part of the subcontinent from the Bay of Bengal and sailing into the Arabian Sea, they would probably not have made an easy move to invade South China.

Although it is already autumn and winter in the north, but in the Grand Canal area near the tenth parallel of north latitude, the temperature is still very high, and the good sea breeze blows, which alleviates the discomfort of the hot and high temperature, that is, the sun on the sun is a little unbearable, the strong sunlight not only stimulates the skin, but also stimulates the eyes, standing under the sun, a pair of sunglasses is essential, and a sunhat is also a must-have equipment.

On the breakwater of the canal, An Yi wore a sunhat with a wide brim, a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, a tropical military uniform with light yellow short-sleeved shirts and shorts, and a pair of binoculars on his chest.

General Du Qichen, commander and political commissar of the canal garrison, Major General Ma Hai, commander of the Enron Naval Base, Major General Dai Yao, commander of the Canal Air Force, and Yang Jie, deputy chief of the general staff, Deng Bin, president of the National Defense University, and Major General Cheng Shiming, director of the Military Affairs Department of the General Staff Department, who accompanied An Yi and his wife to inspect the island, also pointed out the country and talked and laughed.

After returning to Beijing, the long-standing backlog of official business, as well as major military and political decisions, all need An Yi to make a decision, he had to return to the previous busy state of managing everything, not to mention going to the scenic spots in South China, it is not easy to take his family to visit the West Lake of Beijing, plus the war with Germany, he can not put down the work at hand, so this inspection is a rare rest and relaxation for him.

"Qichen, along the way, the standard of the breakwater repair on both sides of the canal seems to be a bit high, not to mention the width of fifty meters, Jingran has also paved such a thick cement, do you have any considerations?"

Seeing that the sun was getting more and more vicious, An Yi called Tang Fen and a few female guards to accompany him to hide in the shade in the mangrove forest under the breakwater of the Ouchuer Canal, and then asked Du Qichen, who was following up.

Du Qichen is an old engineer, when the Anjia Army entered the Syrian Mansion, Du Qichen was the party representative and deputy division commander of the Second Division of Engineers, and then formed the Southern Yunnan Engineering Corps, Du Qichen was promoted to the rank of major general, served as the deputy commander of the corps major general and party representative, the establishment of three headquarters in South China, Du Qichen was transferred to the general of the General Logistics Command, after the start of the three-year canal construction project, a general who is proficient in military and architectural knowledge is urgently needed to command, Du Qichen was transferred to the commander of the canal garrison, until now, it can be said that everything about the canal, There is nothing more familiar than he is.

Du Qichen said with a smile: "When it was first built, the breakwaters on both sides of the canal were not so magnificent, so I went to Zheng Qinghong, the chief engineer in charge of engineering design, and modified part of the plan, which is what I have today." At present, the role of the air force is becoming more and more obvious, and I am worried that in the future, the war will break out, and the enemy will destroy our White Spoon airfield, so that our White Spoon Air Force will not be able to reinforce in time.

"And the existing breakwater, it can be used as an airstrip You see, the breakwater ground is flat, the road surface is painted with white lines, there are pipelines buried on both sides, emergency indicators can be installed at any time, and a few radar guided vehicles can be added, even the B6 large jet bomber can take off and land safely! There is more than a kilometer along the canal, and the two ends add up to more than two kilometers, how many fighters can take off and land? ā€

An Yi nodded appreciatively: "The idea is very ingenious, it seems that you really put your heart into it, and it is worthy of praise."

At this moment, a large warship more than two meters long came from the river in the east, An Yi hurriedly took off the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and raised the binoculars hanging on his chest to take a closer look.

Major General Ma Hai had already seen it clearly, stepped forward, and introduced with a smile:

"Chairman, this is the flagship of our Navy's First Fleet, the 'Honor' battlecruiser, that is, the former French Navy's 'Dunkirk' battlecruiser, which was sent to the shipyard in the second half of last year for modernization and refit, adding air-to-sea warning radar, anti-air radar, fire control radar and other electronic facilities, and the air defense weapons mainly use twin 40 mm 'Bofors' machine guns and single-barreled 20 mm 'Erlikon' machine guns, and the comprehensive combat capability far exceeds that of all battleships in the world today, and it is the ace warship of our navy!"

An Yi smiled slightly: "Don't say it, I lived on it for a day before the refit of the 'Honor', during which I observed the training in the Navy's Beibu Gulf area, I have to say that last year's changes were quite big, if you didn't say it just now, I still think it was that battleship!" ā€

Deng Bin knew the intention of this battleship after a little thought: "According to the plan of the General Staff Headquarters, the First Fleet will escort a large number of combat materials to the Persian Gulf. ā€

"Hmm!"

An Yi nodded, suddenly heard the sound of a car engine, turned his head and saw a Gupu car parked under the breakwater, Major General Wang Zhihan, deputy director of the Communications Department of the General Staff, jumped out of the car and walked up the steps towards Fang Boti, immediately knowing that this leisure and relaxation was over.
