The decisive battle against the Third Reich

I'll continue to update five more chapters if I ask for more monthly tickets. I hope you guys will vote for more monthly tickets!

"Oh, really?" Major General Voigt objected, "Why did the British do this? I mean, exposing their strategic goals, is it just to make us guess that they will attack Greece?"

"Because this goal is too obvious!" Qin Chuan replied, "The British themselves know this... As long as they mobilize their troops, such as adding hundreds of thousands of infantry, or many transport ships passing through the Suez Canal, these are all under our surveillance, right?"

There is no doubt that what Qin Chuan said was that the German army at this time supported the independence of North African countries, so it received support from all sides, including the Egyptian guerrillas.

Therefore, any supplies passing through the Suez Canal were not a secret to the German army.

"In this case!" Qin Chuan continued, "Any fool would guess that they were going to land in Sicily, just like all of us guessed this! Sorry, I don't mean that all of us are fools!"

The officers couldn't help laughing.

Rommel added self-deprecatingly: "In front of you, we seem to be fools!"

The officers smiled again.

When the laughter stopped, Qin Chuan continued: "All this was expected by the British, so... the British thought it was difficult to hide their strategic goals. For example, they pretended to attack Greece, but in fact, making such a false appearance would make people more suspicious that their strategic goal was Sicily. This is almost 'there is no silver here'!"

"What do you mean?" Colonel Slaine couldn't help asking.

"What?"

"'There is no silver here', what does this mean?"

"Oh!" Qin Chuan realized that he had accidentally said a Chinese idiom.

"It's like this!" Qin Chuan replied: "A man made three hundred taels of silver... You know, three hundred taels of silver is very valuable. He was worried that it would be stolen, so he buried the silver in the ground. Then... do you know what he did? He inserted a wooden board here, and it said: 'There is no three hundred taels of silver here'!"

The officers in the command center were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly burst into laughter.

"I'm glad you understood the story!" Qin Chuan said.

"Come on, Captain!" Colonel Slaine said, "We're not that stupid!"

"Colonel Slaine!" General Strike asked back, "What did you just say?"

"We're not that stupid, are we?" Colonel Slaine replied.

"Uh-huh!" General Strike raised his eyebrows, "Here's the silver lining!"

The officers laughed again.

Rommel said with a wry smile: "Gentlemen, this meeting is about to become a joke meeting, but who cares? We have time... Now, let's continue to listen to what the captain has to say!" "The British are obviously not that stupid!" Qin Chuan continued: "They know that it is useless to use the old method to cover up their strategic goals, because Sicily is obviously much more important and more direct than Greece. Once Sicily is occupied, our transportation lines can be directly cut off and even the door to landing in Algeria can be opened! Therefore, the British did the opposite and deliberately exposed their strategic goals to lead us to doubt. Just like before, everyone thought that Greece was the real destination, and this is what the British wanted." Rommel nodded when he heard this. After a pause, Qin Chuan continued: "And the British can openly bomb and reconnaissance Sicily, because these will be considered false anyway, so the more real they are, the more fake they will appear! "How is this possible? !" Major General Voigt said: "So that's it? Britain is just waiting for us to be fooled?" "Of course not! "Qin Chuan said: "Next, the British will intentionally reveal some documents to us, and these documents will clearly tell us... their strategic target is Greece, and all the preparations for Sicily are fake! Of course, these intelligence will be very real, and they are revealed unintentionally, so we were just suspicious at first, but after having these documents... everyone will believe that their target is Greece!" "Unbelievable!" General Strike said: "They are using our psychology, and the captain can guess these so quickly..." Of course, these are not guessed by Qin Chuan, Qin Chuan is not that powerful, these are all real minced meat plans in history, but the minced meat plan at that time had another greater possibility... In addition to Greece, there is also Sardinia. "These are just your guesses, Captain!" Major General Voigt objected: "What if things are not as complicated as you think, and the Allies just want to land in Greece?" "General Voigt!" General Strike interrupted: "Do I need to remind you? We think that the Allies will land in Greece, which is also a guess. What if things are really as the captain said? "

Major General Voigt was speechless.

After a pause, Rommel frowned and said, "Yes, Greece or Sicily, these two possibilities are our guesses, and none of us can be sure. Now, I think we can only wait!"

"Waiting for what?" General Strike asked curiously.

"Will what the captain said come true?" Rommel replied: "If it is like what the captain said, the British... will deliberately reveal some intelligence to us, which will mislead us into thinking that their real target is Greece. . If this happens, it should prove that the captain is right, right?"

The officers couldn't help but nod.

Only Major General Voigt smiled and said: "No, this can't happen!"

"Why?" Rommel asked.

"Because the British intelligence officers have another issue to consider!" Major General Voigt said: "After the intelligence is disclosed, they must also make themselves think that the intelligence has not been disclosed, otherwise fools will know to change the plan. This... is almost impossible to do Arrived!”

Major General Voigt is right. This logic seems a bit convoluted. To put it simply, once the British realize that their intelligence has been leaked, then according to common sense, they should change the combat plan, so the leaked intelligence will have a negative impact on the German army and the enemy. The British troops were all worthless.

Therefore, everything Qin Chuan said can only happen under one situation, that is, the British army intentionally leaked the intelligence. The Germans obtained the intelligence but did not let the British discover it, so the British thought that the intelligence was not leaked and continued as planned.

It is indeed difficult to do this, but obviously... Major General Voigt underestimated the IQ of the British intelligence officers.
