All of Colonel Yin En's proposals were rejected by Wang Xuexin with sufficient reasons, and he was firmly rejected with a disdainful expression.
Only then did Colonel Yin En realize that the army in front of him was not simple.
Colonel Yin En was sent from Asana by the Sun Never Sets Empire. He had dealt with the Chinese army, that is, the Chinese Expeditionary Army.
He knew that the initial equipment of the expeditionary force was not very good... The Soviet equipment was relatively good. Many of the expeditionary force went to the battlefield with old rifles with extremely poor range and accuracy. Heavy firepower was seriously lacking. Except for a few tanks,
Apart from the light tanks introduced by Mao Xiong, there is almost nothing.
Yin En took it for granted that if China's main force was like this, then the equipment of the Eighth Route Army should be even worse.
His idea might have been right a year ago, but that's not the case now.
In terms of tanks, the Eighth Route Army has "T34" and "Sherman". Either one is better than the infantry tank that never sets at a snail's pace.
In terms of fighter planes, the Eighth Route Army can produce its own "La-5". Although its performance is not as good as the "Spitfire" fighter plane on which the sun never sets, it can mass-produce it...
In terms of automobiles, they also have their own production base, and even produce half-track vehicles, which are not available even if the sun never sets. They use a large number of Yingjiang's M3 half-track armored vehicles.
I don't even dare to talk about rifles. The Eighth Route Army all used repeating rifles.
Finally, Colonel Yin En had no choice but to ask Wang Xuexin: "Okay, comrade commander! Can you tell me what you need first?"
Wang Xuexin pretended to think for a while, and then said awkwardly: "Sorry, Colonel, everything you have, it seems that we can easily get it from Eagle Sauce or Wooly Bear. If this is the case, why should we trade with you at a distance?
?”
Wang Xuexin's words only increased the pressure on Colonel Yin En.
Because he knew that Wang Xuexin was telling the truth. At this time, the Sun Never Sets was already declining day by day, and many equipment relied on Yingjiang. If plus Mao Xiong... there was basically no equipment in the world that the Eighth Route Army could not replace.
Seeing Colonel Yin En's sad face, Wang Xuexin said: "However, we are often deciphered by the enemy's codes during battles, but we cannot decipher the enemy's codes. This puts our army in a state of being passively beaten. For example, not long ago
Before that, Datong was suddenly surrounded without the knowledge of our army..."
What Wang Xuexin said was half true and half false.
It is true that the Eighth Route Army could not decipher the Japanese codes. The Eighth Route Army lacked talents in this area and their intelligence mainly came from intelligence personnel.
The Japs often deciphered the Eighth Route Army's codes, which was a lie, because the Eighth Route Army's radio stations changed the codes very frequently, which fundamentally lost the value of deciphering... It took a lot of effort to decipher this set of codes, but the Eighth Route Army changed them.
set.
This is somewhat similar to the border banknotes used in the base areas. Because the border banknotes were frequently revised, the Japanese had almost no value in making counterfeit banknotes.
It is true that Datong was surrounded, but it is false that it was suddenly surrounded because the code was deciphered.
Colonel Yin En and Sun Erwei did not know much about the internal situation of the Eighth Route Army, so of course they could not distinguish between Wang Xuexin's half-truth and half-falsehood...
This should be said to be the art of lying. Only seven parts of it are true and three parts of it are false can you make others believe it. If it is all false, then you are not lying but telling a joke.
Yin En immediately suggested: "That's no problem, we will provide your army with a code-breaking team!"
"That's not what we need, Colonel!" Wang Xuexin shook his head and replied: "You know what our situation is. Japs are all over the north and south of China. Radio signals are flying all over the sky. We can intercept thousands of signals every day. How many can this team you provide decipher?
Secret messages? How many of them are valuable?"
Colonel Yin En fell silent as soon as he heard this.
This is actually a problem faced by all armies around the world:
The time it takes to decipher a secret message is always longer than the time it takes to send a telegram, much longer.
As for all secret messages, it is impossible to determine whether they are important before they are deciphered.
Therefore, even if the team that deciphers the code does not eat, drink or sleep, it is difficult to find a few pieces of valuable information from the massive data. Sometimes even if they find it, it is already lagging behind... Sometimes it is a few minutes late on the battlefield.
This information is worthless, let alone hours or even days.
This is one of the reasons why the sun never sets when the universal decoder was invented... The decryption speed of the universal decoder is much faster than manual decoding. A universal decoder can read 2,000 characters per second and then use mechanical exhaustive methods to decode the encrypted messages.
decipher.
Its military value is self-evident.
Hearing this, Colonel Yin En could only helplessly spread his hands and said angrily: "Then there is no other way. It seems that we cannot reach this so-called 'deal'!"
After saying that, he turned around and led his subordinates out of the headquarters. Before going out, he kicked the wooden threshold hard to vent his anger. I don't know whether it was because there was nothing to change until the sun never set, or because of Wang Xuexin's attitude.
Wang Xuexin thought that it was probably the latter.
Because he was a colonel from the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets, the largest country in the world, but he was actually ridiculed by the commander of the Eighth Route Army. Before coming here, Colonel Yin En even thought he had an absolute advantage...
Sun Erwei hurriedly said "sorry" to Wang Xuexin and then chased him out.
Wang Xuexin expected Colonel Yin En to have this reaction.
Because at this time Turing and his "universal decoding machine" were highly confidential and only a few people knew about them.
The reason why it is "highly confidential" is because once Hans knows that the sun never sets, he immediately knows that the secret message called "mystery" that they thought was impossible to decipher has been deciphered by the sun never sets, so he will change it.
Set up a password system.
This kind of secrecy also allows Sun Bu Luo to maintain an absolute advantage in intelligence warfare.
But sometimes it has the opposite effect... Rommel always disobeyed orders on the African battlefield. As a result, he always surprised the troops who thought they knew the enemy's movements.
Under this circumstance, it is impossible for Colonel Yin En to know that there is such a thing as a "universal decoding machine".
However, Wang Xuexin believed that Colonel Yin En would report the situation to London.
Then, it was left to London to weigh whether the design drawings of the v1 missile were more important or the "universal decoder".
In fact, it cannot be such a simple comparison.
Because the "universal decoding machine" provided by Sun Bu Luo does not necessarily leak secrets, Sun Bu Luo still has a high possibility of maintaining the advantage in intelligence warfare.
It depends on whether they are willing to take the risk.
Wang Xuexin believes that if it were only a few months before the sun had set on discovering the truth about the v1 missile, he might not be willing to do so.
But now, when they think they are facing the risk of national subjugation...
