Eight hundred and seventieth eight chapters Shanklin
The fifth update is completed, where is my monthly ticket?
**********
It didn't take long before Colonel Schuster came back.
He said to Rommel excitedly: "Marson Marshal, not Dover!"
"Are you sure?" Although this was completely expected by Rommel, Rommel asked.
"Consolation!" said Colonel Schuster, "because one of them recognized that it was in Shanklin!"
"Shanklin?"
"Yes!" Colonel Schuster replied: "It's very certain that this builder named François, who happened to have contracted a construction project nearby. The road, the direction of the railway, the location of the river, the location of the bridge, etc., can be confirmed to be Shanklin!"
Rommel and Qin Chuan and others stood up and walked towards the map.
Colonel Schuster said to Longdstedt with a little embarrassment: "Sorry, Marshal..."
"No, you don't need to apologize!" Longdstedt replied: "You did it right, and it was the order I gave you!"
As he said that, Longdstedt slowly stood up, and Colonel Schust hurried up to help him, and then took him to the map.
"Hissergeant Commander-in-Chief!" Rommel pointed to a point on the map and said, "Shanklin, diagonally opposite the Brittany Peninsula... As I guess, their target is the Brittany Peninsula!"
Rommel's estimate makes sense.
The most taboo thing in login combat is that there is no strategic depth... Without strategic depth, there will often be a situation where the whole game will lose as soon as you lose.
Simply put, the landing troops are backed by the sea and can only build one or two lines of defense on the beach.
At this time, if the enemy launches a counterattack, even if dozens of counterattacks can break through the defense line and force the defenders to retreat, the defenders will collapse on the whole line... The sea is behind them, and there is no way out at all.
The best way to solve this situation is to capture a peninsula.
For example, the Brittany Peninsula is like a rhino horn extending from the coastline, surrounded by the sea on three sides and connected to northern France on the other side.
If this peninsula can be captured, it means that the landing troops can instantly obtain a strategic depth that they originally did not have. Moreover, this strategic depth is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it can become a bridgehead for the landing troops.
After a moment of silence, Longdstedt said, "You won, Marshal Rommel. I will report this situation to the Head of State!"
Rommel raised his head and said, "Master-in-Chief, this is another thing I want to say to you!"
"What?"
"In fact, this is the idea of Lieutenant Colonel..." Rommel raised his head at Qin Chuan and said, "If we want to win a complete victory in this intelligence war, that is, we want to deceive the British Intelligence Agency, then we have to pretend that we don't know anything and everything will develop in the same way as before!"
"You mean...this includes the head of state?"
Rommel hesitated for a while, as if he wanted to see what Rondstedt responded to the proposal and then decide how to answer, but Rommel finally replied: "Yes, Commander-in-Chief. Because it is of great importance, I don't think this secret can be spread to this command. This is also the reason why I blocked the command! What do you think?"
"Marson Rommel!" Longdstedt asked with a stern face: "Why do you think reporting to the head of state will cause intelligence to leak?"
Longdestedt was simply unfaithful to Hitler. In fact, as a nobleman, he looked down on Hitler from the bottom of his heart and even spoke bad things about Hitler in private.
However, this can be regarded as capturing Rommel's pain... If this is reported to Hitler, Rommel will definitely be punished.
"Because of spies!" Rommel replied without thinking: "Master-in-Chief, we have proved that the 4th Army and the 1st Army do not exist or are false, but what's ridiculous is that the spies sent by our Intelligence Agency are continuing to report relevant information to us, causing us to misjudgment, so I have reason to believe that all of these spies have been instigated. Since that is the case, do you think we can still believe in the Military Intelligence Agency?"
After pausing, Rommel said firmly: "No, this makes me know one thing, I can't trust anyone unless they are under my control and surveillance."
Qin Chuan said in his heart that it turned out to be like this. No wonder Rommel agreed without thinking too much when he said he wanted to hide the information from Hitler.
However, Qin Chuan and Rommel have a little different minds: Qin Chuan is worried about "super secrets, while Rommel is worried about the unreliable military intelligence agency headed by Canaris.
But no matter what, Rommel's reason is very good... You should know that the Military Intelligence Agency is Hitler's eyes and ears to the outside world. If it is not even reliable, then the news is really not dared to transmit to the head of state.
The fact is that this Military Intelligence Bureau is indeed unreliable, because the Director of the Military Intelligence Bureau Canaris is a member of the rebel group.
Longdestedt thought about it and found that Rommel's reason was too sufficient... Even if he exposed the whole thing to Hitler, he was afraid that not only would he not be able to deal with Rommel, but would be scolded by Hitler.
Because in the extraordinary period when all three spies were instigated, Rommel's approach to taking the overall situation into consideration was of course correct. The Western Front Command naturally wanted to hide this important information from the head of state until the end of the battle or dig out all the inside lines of the Military Intelligence Bureau.
After thinking through this, Longdstedt nodded and said, "I agree, Marshal Rommel, I think this is the right way to do it!"
"So..." Rommel said: "We might have to continue arguing!"
"What?" Longdstedt didn't understand Rommel's meaning.
"Just like before!" Rommel said: "You insist that the Allies will land in Calais, and I continue to suspect or think that the Allies' offensive target is the Brittany Peninsula. Let's play a show for them!"
Rondstedt seemed not very willing to do this at first because he thought it was a humiliation to him.
But suddenly, Longdestedt understood a little... If he did this, it means he never made any mistakes, not before, nor since.
Because, all this is done to deceive British talents.
So Longdstedt suddenly became happy: "Of course, Marshal Rommel, I'm willing to do this!"
Qin Chuan knew that this was actually Rommel showing mercy under his command.
Because the battle between Rommel and Ronderstedt actually ended at the moment Rommel walked out of the "Bold Rooster" restaurant, or it could end for the British Intelligence Agency.
But Rommel now gives Ronderstedt a step.
Chapter completed!
