Imperial Overlord

: Ninety-three complex Enigma

"Victory! Führer!" When Li Le's door was pushed open, Marshal Kesselring and his adjutant stood at attention at the door and raised their arms.

The two saluted respectfully, and then walked to Li Le's desk. Compared with the perverted office in the Prime Minister's Office, Li Le still prefers the normal room in front of him.

There are no huge marble tables, nor those ridiculously high ceilings or pillars.

Li Le, who was used to the normal house in his previous life, took a long time to get used to that exaggerated office room.

"Ah, here you are..." Li Le has been concerned about the cipher machine used in Germany for the past two days, and protecting his own communications has always been his concern.

The Enigma encryption system has always been the pride of the German cryptographic community. This cipher machine was considered impossible to decipher, and was also used by the Germans at the end of the war.

But Li Le knew that this kind of thing had been sold by capitalists as a civilian version before World War II. Polish cryptographers had already deciphered Enigma and handed over a deciphering tool to the British.

This deciphering tool is called a "bomb", and this thing helped Turing to decipher many Enigma messages, resulting in Germany's high-level decision-making has been in a semi-transparent state to the Allies.

So Li Le is working hard to find an alternative to this cryptographic system, and what he is most keen to do now is to upgrade the Enigma cryptographic machine.

The original Enigma cipher machine was a complex cipher machine consisting of three rotors. Under this system, machines can encrypt messages into jumbled fragments of letters.

According to the corresponding mechanical principle, the rotor can encrypt the A in the message into one of any letters. Unless you get the secret key, you can only see a row of passwords that are not regular at all.

But it seems that this very advanced cipher machine was deciphered by the geniuses of the Allied forces. Although the German army changed the secret key, it did not seem to prevent the Allied forces from mastering the complex laws.

Li Le has already thought of some solutions - on the one hand, he decided to delay the Allied deciphering speed by frequently changing secret keys.

On the other hand, he has decided to use the simplest method to add a security to the system - improve the Enigma cipher machine!

This is a seemingly complicated but very simple method: the Enigma cipher machine originally had 3 rotors, which were used to encrypt 26 English letters.

So the encrypted number is a geometrically increasing encryption possibility like 26X26X26. There are 17,576 possible options for the last letter to be encrypted, and if other encryption methods are included, this number will increase.

First of all, the three rotors can be exchanged, which increases the complexity of encryption by six times. In the late World War II, the Germans added other security methods to the machine, and finally the possibility of encryption became an astronomical figure of 100 billion. .

But now, the Enigma machine used by Germany itself is not so complicated, so the British have found a way to decipher it!

Li Le's method is very simple. On the basis of the Enigma cipher machine, a rotor is added, which makes the work of deciphering this cipher machine 26 times more complicated!

With such a geometric increase of 26 times, it can be guaranteed that the Enigma telegram used in Germany will not be deciphered by the British again for at least a year!

And when the 4-rotor Enigma cipher machine is popularized, Li Le will add a new mapping system to these cipher machines. This system was invented by the Germans themselves in the later period of the war, which will make this cipher machine really become "" An Unbreakable Cipher".

Li Le, who came from later generations, knows that there is no code that will never be deciphered in this world, because in a few years, there will be a real mathematician born in this world: a computer!

But in 1940, the kind of simple logic computer Turing played, there was not much to do with the Enigma cipher machine that changed its style - although the principle did not change, the complexity increased, allowing the simulation of Enigma Gemma's universal machine "Super" has become somewhat insufficient.

Once the "Super" Enigma simulator invented by Turing loses its function, it is an impossible task to manually decipher and find the law of the Enigma code.

The new cipher machine was named "Silence" by the German military, and Li Le from later generations also had high hopes. With this "silence", German communications are finally somewhat reassuring.

"Ah, Marshal Kesselring! Are you here, what's the matter?" Li Le has been busy recently, and his energy has been attracted by other things.

After worrying that his air force would not be able to completely subdue the British, Li Le turned his attention to the navy and other aspects.

The improvement of the cipher machine is one aspect, and the other aspect, he is providing the Navy with many memories of the situation of the British transport fleet.

In the era he traveled to, in order to commemorate the victory of the Atlantic naval battle, the British published a record publication showing off the merits of their transport fleet.

The code names, routes and departure and arrival times of all the transport fleets are marked in detail.

According to the book, Li Le knew that Dönitz, the commander of the German Navy submarine force who invented the wolf pack tactics, never achieved his vision of blocking Britain.

During the entire World War II period of the British fleet, the tonnage of transport ships sunk by German submarines was greater than the number of transport ships built.

It is not difficult to infer from this that although the losses were heavy, the British maritime transport force has always been on the trend of increasing, and it has not been suppressed by German submarines.

As for later, when German submarines could no longer sink British transport ships on a large scale, the outcome and direction of the war were already clear at a glance.

On the one hand, although Dönitz was highly valued by Hitler, he never obtained the sufficient number of submarines he required to carry out strangulation operations against Britain.

Another reason is because the German Navy's single submarine combat method allows the British Navy to conduct research and development of scientific and technological weapons in a targeted manner, which quickly suppressed the tactical and technical advantages of German submarines.

"My Führer, I offered to meet you because I wanted to suggest to you...the bombing of London, can you postpone it for a while?" Kesselring worked hard to organize his own language, trying to make his suggestion sound better. Reasonable.

Li Le did not expect that Kesselring was in a hurry to see him because of such a thing. He looked up from the pile of papers and looked at his air marshal.

"Why?" He looked at Kesselring and asked. You must know that Germany in another time and space, in real history, has always carried out the bombing of London.

Now Kesselring has made different suggestions to Li Le, which means that he has his own dissatisfaction with this deterrent tactic of bombing the capital.

So Li Le was very interested in Kesselring's idea. He wanted to know how many people in the Luftwaffe were worthy of his trust, or could be used.

"My Führer! Before, I thought bombing London was a no-brainer, but after the August 1st attack, I found that to weaken the British Air Force, we need to be more determined." Kesselring said own ideas.

He looked at Li Le's sharp eyes like carnivores, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and continued: "We should continue to attack the airports in southeastern England, as well as the enemy's factories, to consolidate our victory!"

Hearing this, Li Le nodded, then stood up, walked around the desk that was not small but not astonishing, and walked in front of Kesselring.

"I'm glad you can put forward your own different opinions." He stretched out his hand and tapped Kesselring's arm lightly twice.

When Kesselring heard the Führer in front of him say this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the head of state is in a good mood today, that's why he faces doubts so amiably.

Of course, it is also possible that the tactic that Kesselring is now using to question Li Le ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is the tactic that Li Le strongly advocated and used before, so the Fuhrer will not be disgusted or angry.

"It's also for the rising comrades of Germany. Don't stop expressing your own opinions because of our disagreements." Li Le said to Kesselring very generously.

His words flattered Kesselring, because the commanders who could make the Fuhrer listen to advice patiently were undoubtedly the confidants who were highly valued by the Fuhrer.

"I said before that the air raid on London is not our main purpose, but a lure operation." Li Le explained, in fact, he also heard about the British Air Force avoiding fighting.

For three consecutive days, the Luftwaffe's planes bombed London a lot, but the British fighter jets never showed up, which made Goering, Kesselring, and even Li Le somewhat uncertain.

If the British kept avoiding the war, it would have been a waste of time for the Luftwaffe to bomb London, the capital of the United Kingdom.

"But! My head of state! The British never took off fighter jets to intercept!" Kesselring said worriedly.

Li Le also knew that if the British did not take off fighter jets to join the war, the effectiveness of bombing London would not be as effective as bombing some of the factory facilities he provided.

However, he was still unwilling to just give up, and switching targets frequently would easily have a negative impact on morale.

"I understand your concern. I have already made a decision. If the British Air Force does not fly any more planes today, I will give up the strategic deployment of bombing London, England!" Li Le promised Kesselring.

The Führer's promise made Kesselring extremely overjoyed. He quickly stood at attention and raised his arms: "You are truly a wise leader! My Führer! The Air Force will lead to a glorious victory under your wisdom!"
