On March 11, Lin Youde received a telegram that British and American troops had landed on the coast near Casablanca.

"It's really Morocco." Lin Youde put the telegram on the table, "Originally, I was still a little worried, the British would play yin." ”

"I said Dad, you're overly worried." Ysera was already able to quickly deal with Wen Jiàn while chatting with Lin Youde distractedly, she said as she wrote hard, "You always think that the British spy agency is very strong, to be honest, I don't quite understand this concern......"

"Didn't I tell you, the unique law of this world is ......"

"That's Dad's speculation."

"But in fact, it's very powerful," Lin Youde spread his hands, "Look, your mother Chihiro is amazing, right?" Okay, is the Eye of Odin? But the British spy agency is able to steal information from under the nose of Odin's eye, and every time I see the text stolen from London by Odin's eye, the British's understanding of our war plan and all aspects of the process can always startle me. While there's no indication that they know our core secrets, it's understandable to see what they already know and worry that they know more than that, right? ”

"Well, I'll admit you're right." Isela paused and changed the subject, "I'm particularly curious now, in another time and space, how exactly does the British spy agency behave?" You've never told me anything specifically. ”

Lin Youde thought for a while and replied: "Well, they have deciphered the cipher code of the Axis countries and mastered the activity information of the U-boats, so that the British Navy can take the initiative to attack the U-boats cruising in the sea." They deciphered the Italian Navy's telegram so that the Royal Navy could defeat the Italian Navy with negligible losses at the Battle of Cape Matapan and return sea supremacy in the Mediterranean to the British Navy. ”

"That's why Dad, you don't trust our cipher machine all along......" Isera nodded thoughtfully.

"The most powerful thing is that the British spy agency planned a civilized active deception operation in the history of espionage, and deceived the entire Third Reich with a well-prepared fake corpse, making them make a wrong judgment." Lin Youde paused, "Of course, by that time, the defeat of the Third Reich was decided, and the outstanding deception of the British only greatly reduced the casualties of the soldiers, and at the same time allowed the war to end more quickly." But in fact......"

"Actually, even if Britain and the United States did nothing at that time, Germany would have to be bulldozed by the Soviet Red Army, right?"

"Yes, although many people don't like this statement, but that's the fact, the 44-year overlord operation, in fact, is the prelude to the division of the world after the war, and the later market garden will be so eager and greedy, but also because of the fear that the Soviet Red Army will advance too quickly and lead the red camp to the door of France, to put it bluntly, the two sides are drawing the ground. It's far away, let's talk about Britain's espionage capabilities......"

"No," Ysera shook her head, "I already know that the British spy agency in another time and space is doing a good job, now let's go back to Morocco, Dad, do you think the French can stop it?" ”

"Can't stop it, the coalition forces will let Shenji carry out a ground attack, and the French are also using the lives of ordinary soldiers to consume the coalition Shenji and then use the supply distance to drag the British to death, this calculation is basically not wrong, after all, as a battleship of Shenji's sea carrier, as long as it is active, it is burning money, and it will not be long at sea before it has to return to Hong Kong to make up for it. It was probably only after the coalition battleship group returned to resupply that the French would take action to fight back. ”

At this time, the confidential officer entered the room and handed Lin Youde a telegram: "There was a fierce battle between the gods and queens over the strait, and the British and French gods exchanged fierce fire. ”

"Okay, got it." Lin Youde took the telegram and put it into the text on the table without even thinking about reading the details.

After the confidential officer left, Ysera said, "There was still a lot of firefighting, and there were no casualties anyway, it just looked good......

"It's okay for others to say that, after all, in the eyes of ordinary people, this is a big firework over the battlefield," Lin Youde looked at Ysera with a reproachful look, "We can't say that, your mothers are all on the battlefield." ”

"I know they're hard, but when I'm French, I always want to say something cool." Ysera pursed her lips with a disgruntled expression, "They have been busy fighting in the past, and I have been expecting the British to come and beat them up." ”

Lin Youde laughed.

That's when the confidential agent came in again.

"I'm guessing that the French ground forces in Morocco were attacked by the Allied Divine Queen, right?" Lin Youde asked the confidential officer at the split, startling the little confidential officer.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Lin."

"Don't be nervous, your pretty face will be less nervous, miss."

Lin Youde took the telegram with a smile, and this time he pretended to look at it.

"Oh, I saw Charlotte, the intelligence officer did a good job this time, and even had the courage to send a telegram when the god came, hoping that he would remember to destroy the codebook. When you go out, inform the Cryptography Department that all the cipher systems used by the Moroccan side for intelligence transmission are invalid, and it is possible that the codebook has been seized. ”

"Sir, this telegram was sent in clear code to our spy teleport in Turkish/Nice."

"Oh......" Lin Youde paused, looking in awe of the spy who risked his life to send a telegram, "I really hope this warrior is still safe." I'm still going to deactivate that set of passwords, though. Anyway, we have seven or eight sets of alternative passwords, don't we? ”

It is a very complicated project to replace the cipher code in a military system with a large number of units, but the expatriate units of intelligence agencies are generally small and capable, and the total number of units is much smaller, so multiple sets of codebooks can be prepared to be exchanged at any time, and even different codebooks can be used for different transmission lines.

After the confidential officer left, Lin Youde smacked his lips.

"To tell you the truth, I really want to go to the front and experience the war firsthand," he said to Ysera suddenly, "I've been here for so long, and I haven't experienced the battlefield myself except for the few times I've been assassinated - no, that's not true, because I haven't experienced the battlefield the few times I've been assassinated." ”

"Dad, do you still want to go into the field and charge and kill the enemy yourself?" Ysera's eyes widened in surprise, "Usually people avoid this, right?" ”

"In our previous plane, many people were eager to go to war. Because of this, a large number of game manufacturers saw the opportunity and launched a bunch of war-themed games, allowing players to experience the feeling of fighting on the battlefield in person, which can make a lot of money. ”

"Well, I understand, it must be Dad, the world you have been peaceful for too long, and everyone has a peace disease."

Lin Youde shrugged.

At this time, I don't know how many telegrams were delivered to his desk today.

"What's this time?"

"The information of the enemy general, the man who is now leading the troops to land near Casablanca is called George Patton......" Lin Youde said, throwing the telegram on the table on the side of Ysera.

"Dad, don't you watch?"

"I'm too familiar with this guy, he's the number one Tiger General in the U.S. Army on another plane, and he's very famous." Speaking in English, Lin Youde imitated Patton's tone in the movie "General Patton" and said, "We're going to dig up their corpses and use their entrails to wash the tracks of our tanks!" ”

"That sounds rude." Ysera frowned.

That's how the general was portrayed in the movie, but he is said to have really said this line. The U.S. Marine Corps also used this phrase in its own recruitment song. ”

"Is this general very powerful?"

"It's very powerful, in terms of tactics at the military level, there should be no one on the allied side who is stronger than him, but the strategic side ......" Lin Youde shrugged, "No one is perfect, isn't it." ”

"Is there anyone in the French army who can match him?"

Lin Youde thought for a moment.

"On that plane, no. I don't know about this time and space, after all, the French have just finished the civil war, and there is a very good general in the civil war, Andrew, who may be able to fight Patton. But now Andrew is marginalized by French politicians. ”

France in this plane, like the Third Republic in another plane, has more power than military officials. In the Third Republic of another time and space, Xia Fei was so famous during the First World War that all of France regarded him as a savior, and he could say whatever he said - in this case, Xia Fei had to obediently go to the civil officials for a meeting if he wanted to launch a campaign, because the civil officials had a thousand ways to disgust him.

France in this time and space has inherited this glorious tradition, and a military attache like Andrew, who has achieved great merit, has either taken off his military uniform to enter politics or has been marginalized, and the French don't want another Xia Fei to be the same - oh yes, Xia Fei of this time and space is a god sister named Josephine? Xia Fei.

When Lin Youde heard this name, he always felt as if he had missed something, probably some kind of illusion.

"Isn't that bad," Isera stared at Lin Youde's face, "so we don't have a commander in North Africa who can compete with that George Patton!" Daddy, or ...... Rommel."

"No, Rommel was defeated in North Africa, although he was at one point in the middle." Lin Youde shook his head, "His fierce command style is not suitable for the situation in North Africa, let him continue to gallop on the great plains of the Caucasus." I think North Africa should send an expert who is good at defense. ”

"Manstein?"

"He's guarding the vital point of our long serpentine array on Russian territory, no." After thinking about it for a while, Lin Youde shook his head.

"Dad, I'll warn you," Isera paused for the first time, "that the other German generals are not your descendants, and that he may not listen to you in North Africa, and that he may not go all out to accomplish your strategic goals. You can't let a squad tactician like Scholes command an army, can you? ”

"That's why the title of commander-in-chief of the Eastern Mediterranean Theater is now acting as the chief of staff, because I haven't figured out who to send over."

Lin Youde was also very helpless, but fortunately, the main task of the Eastern Mediterranean Theater was still the dispatch of troops and the coordination of supplies, and it was not yet time for the operation, and it was not a big problem for the chief of staff to concurrently serve as the commander, and he still had time to choose a commander.
