Chapter 267: The End of the Second Battle of Saibei (1)

For Richie? Perin's words Han Yunhua just smacked his lips disdainfully, and said very coldly: "Dear Mr. Richie, please allow me to tell you sincerely, your credibility shocks me, and doing business with Your Excellency is really unbearable for me, you must know that your betrayal is fatal, so I don't plan to complete this transaction with you again." ”

"Oh! Dear Han, please don't say that. My sincerity can definitely stand the test of God, you must know that I have already paid for the last piece of ocean in order to get this batch of equipment, and if it were not for the urgent mission of the Ministry of Defense that requires me to come to China, I would not even have the money to come to China. This time it was just an accident, we fell into the hands of those hateful monkeys, those bitches raised by the cruelty of myself, I think you already have a good experience, so ...... "Didn't wait for Richie?" After Perling finished speaking, Han Yunhua said mockingly: "So you, the great German knight, betrayed your friend, tricked me, the amazing Chinese general, into my own ship, and let those hateful fellows put guns at my head, that feeling is terrible." ”

Ricky? Perin looked at Han Yunhua guiltily, and then said very sincerely: "Dear Han, the great Chinese general, I, Colonel Ritchie, the counterintelligence investigation agency of the Third German Reich? Perling is extremely guilty of the losses inflicted on you and your troops, and as an honest and gentlemanly man, I am willing to take responsibility for what I have done, and I hope that my friend, the great Chinese general Han, will give me this opportunity, and I am sure that Ritchie's multiplication will definitely satisfy you. ”

Ricky? Perling's words were slow, but sincere. This can't deceive people, Han Yunhua came out of Richie completely with judgment? Whether or not Perling is sincere or not is the minimum quality of a general. At the same time Richie? Some of the information revealed in Perrin's words surprised Han Yunhua, I don't know Richie? Whether Perrin was deliberately trying to reveal his identity. Perhaps he considered that it was impossible for an officer of a unit under the leadership of an "opposition party" in this poor and backward country to know what the counterintelligence and reconnaissance organs of the Third Reich were, or perhaps it was a slip of the tongue. But Han Yunhua really knew what kind of identity this "Colonel of the Counterintelligence Investigation Agency of the Third German Reich" represented.

In World War II, Germany's military intelligence was called abwehr, which translates to "counterintelligence and reconnaissance agency". In February 1938, the Reich War Department abolished all authority of the armed forces and established the Wehrmacht (commonly known as the abbreviation OKW), known as the Supreme Command Armed Forces, and completely reorganized the counterintelligence and reconnaissance agencies. The new counterintelligence and reconnaissance agency is set up under the Supreme Command of the Armed Forces, the full name of which is the German [***] Affairs Bureau, and its responsibilities cover all aspects of intelligence activities, from decision-making, reconnaissance flights, to the prevention of sabotage and nuisance activities, commando operations, and the operation of very active sabotage organizations on enemy lines.

Later, on the recommendation of Field Marshal Raeder, Commander-in-Chief of the German Navy, Canaris became the director of the bureau and was promoted to the rank of admiral, responsible for the intelligence of the whole of Germany. At this time, the Military Intelligence Bureau was the largest military espionage agency at that time, and it led the espionage and intelligence work of the German army, navy, and air force in a unified manner. The Directorate of Military Intelligence consists of three divisions: the first is responsible for the collection of military intelligence; the second unit is responsible for psychological operations, subversive activities and sabotage; The second unit is responsible for counter-espionage and security. In addition, an intelligence base has been established in each military region and regiment to carry out espionage activities against third countries through it. Huge spy networks have been built in countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas, and Richie? Perling was the top person in charge of the China Bureau of the German military intelligence agency in Asia, and his most important task was to win over all the forces that favored Germany and safeguard German interests in East Asia. At the same time, more than 320 telegraph and letter checkpoints were set up in Germany and the German theater of operations, from which fragmentary information was collected, and the correspondence between the incoming and outgoing letters, including those of neutral countries, was initially spot-checked, but later changed to all inspections. At the Frankfurt checkpoint alone, in 1914 there were 97 officers, 120 civilian officers and 2,580 employees, and 120,000 to 150,000 letters were inspected every day. It can be said that the counterintelligence investigation organ is an extremely large military reconnaissance organ, and it is the largest organ of real power in the German Ministry of Defense, and even some German marshals and generals dare not go against the will of the counterintelligence and reconnaissance organs.

As the vanguard of the Wehrmacht, this unit participated in many major battles (such as the Dutch campaign of the blitzkrieg in Western Europe, and its members disguised themselves as Dutch border police to carry out infiltration and sabotage activities) and its main tasks were infiltration, sabotage and intelligence gathering. Himmler abolished the Counterintelligence Service in February 1944 and its operations were incorporated into the SS Intelligence Service, which by then had become a hotbed of dissidents against Hitler (Schindler from Schindler's list in the Oscar-winning film Schindler joined the organization in 1943). In July 1944, after the assassination of Hitler, the counterintelligence apparatus was completely destroyed, and Admiral Canaris was hanged on April 9, 1945, three hours before the Allies entered the area. Although there are intelligence and reconnaissance services such as the so-called Gestapo in Germany, the main business of the Gestapo is to carry out all the functions of the political police and fight against all open enemies. The SS, on the other hand, carried out domestic political functions, assisting in industrial security, counterintelligence intelligence, border intelligence, etc. Both were under the dual leadership of the Reich Security Directorate and the SS National Commander-in-Chief, and were not part of military intelligence. And Germany had only one military intelligence agency before 1944, and that was Ritch? Perling's counterintelligence agency.

But Han Yunhua also knew that the composition of this counterintelligence investigation agency was very complicated, and when Hitler seized the supreme leadership of Germany, not all officers of the German Ministry of Defense were willing to accept the command of the mustache with a quarter of Jewish ancestry. Hitler then expanded the SS and elevated the SS to the rank of the most elite unit in Germany, which further aroused the resentment of the old marshals and generals of the German Ministry of Defense, who even believed that the rise of the mustache had led to a drastic reduction in their power. You must know that the most elite units of Germany at that time were not subordinate to the Ministry of Defense, but to the SS under the direct command of Führer Hitler.

In fact, although they were also part of the German armed forces, the vast majority of the SS did not have a very good reputation. As we all know, the German SS was divided into three organizations: the SS secret squad, the Waffen-SS, and the Gestapo. The SS secret squads were the dirty ones responsible for organizing the massacre of Jews, Poles, prisoners of war, and concentration camp guards. And a considerable number of Waffen-SS units were purely combat units, and did not take a disproportionate part in the massacre of prisoners of war and civilians, and both the Allied forces on the Eastern and Western Fronts had great respect for such units. The Gestapo was the gendarmerie equivalent of the SS and was officially known as the State Secret Police. Now Hitler has more than 100,000 SS troops in his hands, which has exceeded the limit of patience of the German Ministry of Defense. At the same time, Hitler's racial theory pushed a large part of the German [***] officers to the enemy, and Rich? Perrin was the head of an intelligence agency with pure Jewish roots. The reason why he dared to make a deal with Han Yunhua, the most destructive Chinese general in the eyes of Germany's excellent ally Yu Ben, under Hitler's violent rule, was entirely because he already knew that he had no future in Germany, and of course the huge amount of money that Han Yunhua promised him was also a very important reason for him to turn to China.

Due to Hitler's political persecution and excessive centralization, the original Junker aristocracy in Germany was very uninterested in this mustache from Austria. Many people conspired to remove that hateful mustache from power, and most of these people worked in the German Ministry of Defense and counterintelligence and reconnaissance.

Ricky? After Pollin did not make any dealings with Han Yunhua for the first time, Han Yunhua's department came into the eyes of some high-ranking officers of the German Ministry of Defense and the counterintelligence and investigation organs. The poor performance of Ben in China, especially in northern China, had raised serious doubts about the strength of this "powerful" ally recruited by the moustache Führer, and at the same time found an excuse for the Junker aristocracy, who were dissatisfied with Hitler and the Nazi Party as a whole, to attack Hitler. Therefore, when it was learned that Han Yunhua had a great deal of favor towards the Germans, and that Han Yunhua himself and the great political party behind him needed to be helped by Germany, the German Ministry of Defense and senior officers in the counterintelligence investigation agency decided to throw an olive branch to Han Yunhua. Richie this time? Pollin also shouldered an important secret mission when he went to China, that is, to send more than a dozen operational staff officers from the German General Staff Headquarters, as well as some journalists and spies, to China, and hoped to enter Han Yunhua's headquarters, and collect evidence of the weakness and incompetence of the Japanese army under the cover of Han Yunhua's headquarters, so as to provide evidence for the overthrow of Hitler.

In order to gain Han Yunhua's trust, the German Ministry of Defense made a big decision, as long as it was something that Han Yunhua mentioned at the time, the German Junkers tried their best to help Han Yunhua get it, of course, this also required Han Yunhua to pay a high purchase fund. As a Richie who has a certain connection with Han Yunhua and also has a hatred for Hitler? Perling was honored to be promoted to the rank of top head of the German intelligence agency in Asia, with the rank of colonel, and was secretly responsible for liaison with Han Yunhua's department.
