Chapter 168: Mission Impossible (M)
Second, in addition to the negative influence of the guiding ideology, the inefficiency of the intelligence system of Nazi Germany is the main reason for the competition for power and the decision-making process of the intelligence agencies. Hitler deliberately dispersed intelligence work in order to monopolize power: in addition to the military intelligence in Canaris, Germany had four main security directories of the SS system, and Ribbentrop also had a diplomatic intelligence system. The three agencies are stacked on top of each other in terms of organization, wasting resources for no reason, and there is neither division of labor nor cooperation in business. Beware of blockades with each other, and even dismantle each other to offset each other. Instead of concentrating on dealing with the enemy, focus your time and energy on how to fight pets, slander each other, and draw the ground as a prison. Canaris himself, who is truly well-versed in the business of intelligence, is not trusted and ostracized. Later, although Galen's Eastern Front Military Intelligence Office had real materials, it was limited to the low level of tactical intelligence and could not play its maximum role.
Thirdly, the historical traditions of the German army led to a contempt for intelligence. As an island nation, Britain has always placed intelligence in an important position, so it has always placed intelligence in an important position. Germany is a landlocked country, and when the situation is tense, it is accustomed to attacking, so the role of intelligence work cannot be correctly understood and treated. Most of the German officer corps were born into military families, and had a feudal hereditary system and a natural exclusive monopoly on military affairs, and regarded intelligence officers as competitors for power. Therefore, intelligence officers were generally disparaged, and the operational staff officers had the final say, and the intelligence staff officers were suppressed. In the selection of personnel, low- and second- and third-rate officers were engaged in intelligence work.
Fourth, all power structures centered on Hitler, an authoritarian system that had serious consequences. Not only did Hitler become the target of competition among officials at all levels and various institutions. And it is completely up to his personal likes and dislikes to dictate the direction and outcome of all work. Hitler, as the ultimate user and judge of all intelligence, was allowed only one mind in great Germany, and even a man with such extraordinary intuition as Hitler could never be infallible. And his subordinates absolutely did not dare to correct him, but greeted him, what he liked, what he insisted on, and deliberately used intelligence to support and confirm him.
Whatever he is unwilling to accept, even if it is factual and very important, must be seized and hidden. So at the conference it always conformed to Hitler's subjective point of view. Finally evolved. Hitler was already completely unable to accept the "interference" of intelligence institutes that did not conform to his own ideas and wishes. A review team headed by his press secretary, Dietrich, was also set up to do so. Not only did he censor the intelligence reports, but in the end, he did not let go of the newspapers, and never let the Führer see unpleasant news, and later even Hitler himself became even bad news. It can be dissolved by itself. Hitler actually tampered with the data himself, as if in a dream. This is the Führer's own death! In order to conceal the true information, he actually tampered with the data himself, and even God would think that Hitler was doing his own thing.
Intelligence agencies reported to him. The United States produces 300,000 tons of ships a month, and he can turn a deaf ear to it, and from then on he can say that it is only 70,000 tons. When the Germans were carrying out their plan to arrest the king and put the members of the Dobado Glio government in Italy, when Jodel reported that the German march was 100 kilometers, Hitler had a hysterical attack and shouted: "What 100 kilometers? It's only 60 kilometers. ”
Later, Hitler completely hid in his shell and stubbornly refused all information that he did not welcome: when Guderian presented the figures of the Soviet troop build-up analyzed by Galen, Hitler scolded Galen and the MI on the Eastern Front as idiots and ordered Galen to be taken to an insane asylum. When the Air Force presented him with aerial photographs of an unprecedented number of artillery positions of Soviet troops assembled in front of the German Central Cluster, he simply swept the photographs underground in anger. The reports painstakingly collected by the German intelligence agencies were of no use to Hitler's only brain.
Li Mo also knew that Germany had a bad appearance in terms of the intelligence system, but Hitler's stubborn and self-righteous character, Li Mo thought that with his own ability, he could not change Hitler's character at all. Many things are definitely not as simple as people think, the traverser is not omnipotent, even if Li Mo knows all the mistakes of Germany, he still can't correct them one by one, because he is not a powerful person with hands and eyes.
Li Mo can also think about it, since he has arrived at the Eagle's Nest, he will wait for Krupp's research institute to come with peace of mind, and he and those scientific research experts will do a good job of getting some doomsday technology in Germany a few years in advance, as for whether these advanced weapons and equipment that appeared in advance can make up for the mistakes made by Germany, Li Mo really doesn't know. If Germany is really defeated and surrendered as in history, Li Mo will also have a way out, that is, China, Li Mo's brother Tian Tian, a former military commander, has already taken a regiment of German weapons and equipment to China, and among these weapons and equipment, there are many anti-aircraft guns. These weapons and equipment were not for Jiang Jieshi, but sent to Yan'an, why Li Mo did this, you know, don't explain.
It is said that when Krupp went home, he met Canaris to visit, Krupp was originally a member of the Nazi Party, and he absolutely supported Hitler, Canaris talked to Krupp, and Krupp fully accepted Canaris's various arrangements, and with Krupp's cooperation, Canaris's "wolf hunting plan" began to be implemented smoothly.
According to the design of Canaris, Krupp commutes to and from work on time every day, if there is a business negotiation, it is also the other party who goes to the Krupp company to discuss with the business executive of Krupp, if it is really important, then it can only be discussed in Krupp's office or Krupp's house, and Krupp will never go to other places.
Krupp's villa is less than a kilometer away from the gate of Krupp, which is a place specially selected by Krupp, Krupp just hopes that the first thing he can open his eyes to is to see his Krupp company, Krupp company is all his hard work and hope, no one can change it.
Canaris had all the preparations and was waiting for the British to send them to attack. About a kilometer from the Krupp villa to the Krupp company, Canaris planted hundreds of plainclothes on a street, and at the same time placed a dozen snipers and more than 300 elite troops on nearby high-rise buildings, Canaris did not believe that British spies could be under such defense.
Anne's uncle Popov has also been busy these two days, and the intelligence system collected by Germany from all sides needs to be analyzed and screened, and then sent to Canaris. At present, Hitler has not interfered excessively in the work of the intelligence system, and although the German intelligence system at this time overlaps and competes with each other for favor, it has not yet reached the time to hinder each other.
…… (To be continued......)
PS: Regarding spy warfare, this must be explained, not too much, but it must be written. In fact, Germany's intelligence system is very bad, at every strategic turning point, Germany's intelligence system is completely broken by British, American, and Soviet spies. Himmler's incompetence, Canaris's betrayal because he can't be reused, that one is deadly, and the protagonist will solve some problems after the start, so stay tuned.
