Chapter 414: The King of Spy Wars
Tomorrow Lin Jun will return to Minsk as a "stone of the mountain" for the annihilation of the German Central Army Group in the direction of Belarus! Because the entire campaign will be centered around Minsk, the high command will not only command remotely in Moscow, but also give the deputy commander-in-chief the power to deploy on the ground. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This time it was definitely a big deal: the reserve front originally had 8 army groups (not counting the air force group armies), of which 6 would participate in the campaign; And the Steppe Front will all participate in the battle, with a total of four army groups and one air force group.
The level of war potential will be reflected in the superiority of the Soviet Union over the Third Reich in terms of resources (including human resources) - more than 800,000 troops in 10 armies!
Of course, it is impossible for these 800,000 people to devote themselves to the encirclement operation, and many troops are coordinated, but it is no longer a problem to encircle and annihilate the enemy in Minsk!
No matter how powerful Hitler is, he can't turn into a reserve to compete with him for a while!
Some of the troops participating in today's military parade had just been transferred all the way from the Far East and Siberia to Europe, and the bitter cold of the Soviet Union was their paradise, and the last decision to mobilize these troops for the high command was Sorge -- in Tokyo, he made it clear that it was impossible for Japan to advance north at present, and after arriving in Moscow, Sorge met with Stalin under the mediation of Alexander: he systematically expounded the reasons why Japan could not advance north and the possible actions in the near future.
It was Sorge's analysis that the High Command once again ordered the transfer of troops from the Far East and Siberia to the west: the Far East is secure for now.
Tipsters, that's what their side calls them -- the enemy is "spies". The contributions of people in these special jobs are sometimes not measured by numbers. If it is a matter of strategic decision-making, intelligence work can even determine the fate of a country!
There is no shortage of outstanding intelligence officers in the Soviet Union, even Lin Jun, who does not understand intelligence, can name several "trump cards among trump cards" - "red spy" Richard Sorge; "Prince of Spies" Harold King Philby; "The Spy with a Thousand Faces" Rudolf Abel!
Note: This is still exposed, and those who are not exposed may always be a mystery!
Among them, Lin Jun is most familiar with Sorge and Albert, one fighting in Japan in Asia, and the other fighting a little later in the Third Reich and NATO.
In his previous life, Lin Jun liked a Soviet film version of the drama series very much - "Seventeen Moments of Spring", a classic in the film of spy warfare, and the prototype of the protagonist is the famous Soviet intelligence expert, known as the "thousand-faced spy network" Rudolf Abel: his life is full of legends, with infinite loyalty to the motherland, amazing wisdom and unparalleled courage, in the Second World War and the Cold War, he established outstanding feats for the Soviet Union. During the Cold War, he served as the head of the KGB's intelligence station in North America, and was unfortunately betrayed by traitors and arrested by the CIA, but he showed infinite loyalty to the motherland in the face of the Americans' lure to surrender, and finally returned to the Soviet Union as an exchange for the pilot of the American U2 plane shot down by the Soviet Union, and became a model for Soviet teenagers to study.
Lin Jun couldn't remember what the name of the person who betrayed Abel was, otherwise he would have asked Alexander to conduct a carpet search in the whole Soviet Union! If Abel hadn't betrayed, he might have managed to lurk in the United States for many years! Of course, then maybe the world will never know his name!
Rudolf-Abel doesn't know where this will be, but the biggest possibility is that in the Soviet Union, he will probably still be an "ordinary German soldier who invaded the Soviet Union": Lin Jun doesn't want him to be in Minsk, if the "Spy King with a Thousand Faces" is killed by his own people's shells in a daze, it will be really wronged!
As soon as the parade was over, the news of the Luftwaffe's attempted raid on Moscow arrived in Moscow - and the radio station immediately broadcast the good news!
The Supreme Command originally had a plan to transfer the base camp reserve aviation assault cluster to the west, but before Lin Jun could mention it, Voroshinov thought of it first: Execute it immediately! Andlupuf was finally able to get his wish and command the troops to go to the front line to fight the fascists!
Lin Jun informed Andlupf of the good news - as soon as Andlupf got the news, he would start to prepare: "When will you be transferred?!" ”
"The Air Force Committee is going to coordinate and free up airfields and logistics. But it will be soon, and it is estimated that the losses in the west will be large, and the first planes will fly directly to Belarus in the afternoon. ”
"Yes, I asked the troops in the west to prepare first, and the staff will have a careful plan, and there will be no chaos."
The mobilization of an aviation assault group, which involves all aspects of the extremely complex, is the first thing to be done is to fill the void of fighter forces in Belarus after the losses.
After calling Andrupv, the Kremlin's communication room connected Lin Jun to Minsk Airport No. 6, and Kobets was there.
"How much is the loss?" This is Lin Jun's first sentence!
"A third, the pilot should be able to come back. The First Army is estimated to be about the same, the young men are all good, and the Germans have more than they have to gain this time! ”
Lin Jun didn't want to ask more, Kobets was not Sergei's stunned young man, and he knew it in his heart.
In the afternoon, Lin Jun summoned Sorge again, and he had something on his mind to ask him for advice.
Lin Jun was the only one waiting for him in the office. The staff officer brought coffee and tea: Lin Jun drank green tea as always, while Sorge chose coffee.
"Oriental tea, this is the best green tea in China."
Sorge lived up to his "titles": the deputy commander-in-chief clearly did not like to be serious at all times, and knew what to say: "Your tea drinking action is comparable to that of any Chinese tea ceremony expert." ”
"Huh." Lin Jun smiled and put down the teacup in his hand: "The tea ceremony is just something that boring people spend time, and there is nothing to admire." Drinking tea, in order to refresh and quench thirst, too much adding some flashy embellishments is exaggerated. Of course, I'm not saying that drinking tea should be like a cow, that's really uncultivated. ”
Both were out-and-out experts in the Orient, and Sorge knew very well that the deputy commander in front of him knew China better than he did, although he had not been in China as long as he was: at least Sorge could not speak Chinese fluently.
"Why could Japan go to war with Britain and the United States?"
Lin Jun finally got back to the point, although he had already discussed it with Sorge, Lin Jun had another question.
"We taught the Japanese Army a hard lesson twice, and they understood that the Army could not be our opponent."
When Blyukhel was deploying troops, he said as the high command said: With the strength at hand now, even if the entire Kwantung Army can fight for a few years, the Japanese don't want to take a step beyond the thunder pool from the Far East! The name of the "Far Eastern Military God" is not blown!
"The Army is not at all our opponent, and Japan has begun to develop into Southeast Asia since this year, which is bound to cause unease in the United States. Japan and the United States understood a long time ago that there is no room for two large ships in a small Pacific Ocean. The United States froze its economic trade with Japan, the most important of which was high-octane oil, without which Japanese planes could not rise into the air, ships could not sail in the sea, and Japan could not continue to expand abroad.
According to what we know, Japan's strategic oil reserves can only last for half a year: either withdraw troops from China, stop foreign expansion, and move closer to the United States diplomatically. Either they will form their own banner, go south to seize strategic resources, and continue to intensify their aggression against foreign countries. There are colonies of the United States, Britain, and the Netherlands in the South Seas, and entering the South Seas is tantamount to declaring war on the United States and Britain. ”
Sorge's words were very simple, and he once again hinted at "why Japan will go to war with the United States by the end of this year at the latest" -- they only have half a year's oil, and if they don't fight, Japan's combined fleet will have to cross the Pacific Ocean by paddling by hand! The invading Japanese army has no oil and can only drink the northwest wind!
"If you were a Japanese commander, what would you choose for the first battle of the march south?"
Sorge shook his head, "Deputy Commander-in-Chief, I'm not a naval commander, it's hard to guess. ”
Sorge's expression didn't change at all, but Lin Jun knew in his heart that he must have his own thoughts, but this was not the first thing he needed to pay attention to, and it was not suitable for "blind guessing" - anyone who knew a little strategy knew where Japan would fight, and probably only the US Pacific Fleet and their Ministry of Defense were confused!
"What do you think of Pearl Harbor?"
"It's more suitable than Nanyang." Sorge replied with interest.
Lin Jun showed a little expectant look, and clearly motioned for Sorge to continue.
"The best condition for grabbing territory is that no one can grab it with itself, otherwise Japan will occupy the entire South Seas, and once the US Pacific Fleet, which is not weaker than it, arrives, it is estimated that those territories will have to be spit out. Pearl Harbor is the most important transportation hub in the Pacific Ocean, Hawaii is east of the United States West Coast, west of Japan, southwest to the islands, north to Alaska and the Bering Strait, all between 2,000 nautical miles and 3,000 nautical miles, across the Pacific Ocean from south to north planes are in Hawaii as the stopover. If Japan first seizes air and sea supremacy in the Pacific Ocean, the road to the south will be unimpeded, and it is estimated that it will attack Pearl Harbor first. ”
"Simple logic, but Americans may never understand."
"Cowboys will never really understand the subtlety of Oriental thinking."
They are all Oriental experts, and Oriental people's thoughts are still relatively thorough
"But if I'm a Japanese decision-maker, it's possible to do both: I want Pearl Harbor, and I want Nanyang!"
Lin Jun stood up, "I'm going back to Minsk tomorrow and do a good job." Let the Japanese attack Pearl Harbor safely, and the Pacific Ocean will be lively, so that we can have enough time. ”
Lin Jun didn't need to say his second question, he had already made a decision; And Sorge also understood what the deputy commander-in-chief's "order" was: even his own department clearly predicted what would happen in the Pacific Ocean, and it was not discovered!
Plenty of time! -- The Soviet Union was confident that the Third Reich would be completely defeated! If you have enough time, you can do more!
Lin Jun is very unrighteous - what if he is righteous? Anyway, Americans won't believe it, God knows if it's stupid or deliberate! (To be continued.) )
