After sending Budyonny away, Stalin instructed the Cheka to step up the collection of German intelligence.
Although the entire Finnish battlefield has achieved a comprehensive ceasefire, Stalin knew very well that politicians have never had any bottom line. Since ancient times, there are countless people who have secretly mobilized troops and punished generals in peace talks on the surface. Who can guarantee that the current peace talks will be Isn't it a delaying tactic? Stalin didn’t want to be fooled by the Führer!
Stalin instructed the Cheka to step up intelligence collection on Germany, and the Führer did the same.
Stalin had a powerful intelligence system called the Cheka, and the Führer's SS also had an equally powerful intelligence system. At first, he didn't pay enough attention to the Nordic battlefields, so he didn't know much about the Soviet-Finnish war. For example, Xu The Germans knew nothing about the sharp Wolf Fang Brigade.
Just as Stalin was worried that the Führer would not keep his word, the Führer was also worried about Stalin's machinations. Therefore, the Führer also instructed the SS's intelligence system to step up its spying on the Soviet Union. As a result, he found a very unexpected piece of information. The Soviet special forces that the Fort Special Forces fought against in Vyborg turned out to be Chinese!
"Chinese?" The head of state looked at Hillem with a sinister look and asked, "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure!" Hilam replied without hesitation, "This unit also has a terrible code name, called Langya, and their leader is a Chinese named Xu Rui!"
After a pause, Hillem continued, "Führer, it was this special force from China that played a key role in the previous Soviet-Finnish war, which led to the establishment of Mannerheim, which the Finnish Defense Forces have operated for nearly half a century. The defense line fell quickly, and if the empire hadn't intervened in time this time, Sweden, not to mention Finland, might have been annexed."
"It's actually Chinese?!" The head of state's eyes became more and more gloomy, and he said again, "How could he be Chinese?"
The head of state was very confused, because from a global perspective, China is definitely a truly weak military country. Its military construction is still at a very backward stage, and its military theoretical construction has completely derailed from the world trend. What can happen to such a weak military country? Maybe special forces? This is not logical.
Hilam thought of another possibility.
Hillem said: "Führer, there is a Chinese-German named Xu Rui among the sparring instructors of the Brandenburg Special Forces. This man has excellent Chinese Kung Fu, is very powerful in fighting, and has been accompanying him all year round. During the Brandenburg Special Forces training, you will inevitably learn many tactics and tactics. About two years ago, this Xu Rui suddenly disappeared."
That's why I say that the human brain is really a good thing, and Xilem's brain is really not that big.
The head of state believed it, and immediately raised his head and asked: "Two years ago was almost the beginning of the Sino-Japanese war. Do you mean to say that this Xu Rui returned to China incognito and participated in the Anti-Japanese War?"
"That's probably it." Hilam said in a deep voice, "Xu Rui and Xu Rui have different words, but the pronunciation is exactly the same. I remember that two years ago, the Japanese Embassy in Berlin came to verify the situation with us and asked if we had any questions. No Chinese military officer named Xu Rui was trained in the Brandenburg Special Forces training camp?"
The head of state said sadly: "In this case, everything is right."
After lowering his head and pondering for a moment, the head of state looked up and said to his secretary: "Invite General Rommel, Colonel Konings and Captain Marcos here immediately."
The armistice negotiations with the Soviet government are still continuing, and the armies of both sides have not retreated yet. They are still in a state of interlocking. However, Rommel, Konings and Marcos have returned to the Wolf's Lair by special plane. This is the head of state. The purpose of calling them back was to learn about the situation first-hand through the three of them.
The secretary responded, and after a while, he led Rommel and the three of them into the combat hall.
"Führer!" Rommel and the other two men suddenly raised their right arms and made the Nazi salute in unison.
The Führer responded with a Nazi salute, then first laid his eyes on Rommel's face and asked: "Rommel, tell me how you feel. What is your biggest gain from this battle?"
Rommel said calmly: "This battle against the Soviet Union proves that even in ice and snow, there are still conditions for carrying out blitzkrieg. However, there are also lessons. The most serious lesson is that diesel engines will freeze. During the assault, During the war, many Swedish tanks withdrew from combat because of diesel engine strikes."
After a pause, Rommel continued: "Then on the other hand, if we really go to war with the Soviet Union in the future, we can definitely make use of this, because all Soviet tanks are equipped with diesel engines. In severe cold environments, diesel engines It had to be preheated before it could be launched, which made the Soviet army sluggish."
Rommel's discovery is still very important, really important.
In the original time and space, the Soviet Red Army suffered a big loss because of this.
The head of state nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "General Rommel, go back to Württemberg to rest for a few days, and then report to the 7th Armored Division. From now on, you will be the commander of the 7th Armored Division."
Rommel's face immediately flushed, and he responded with a heavy yes.
The head of state suddenly tapped his forehead and said: "I almost forgot, the military attaché of the Japanese Embassy in Berlin, a man named Takeo Tanaka came to you and said that he wanted to discuss the blitzkrieg with you. At the moment, the Japanese are The situation in the Far East battlefield doesn’t seem to be very good, so if they really want to learn, you can teach them.”
"Okay." Rommel raised his arm and gave another Nazi salute, then turned and left.
Watching Long Mei leave, the head of state turned his attention to Cornings and Marcos. Cornings straightened their bodies subconsciously and became inexplicably nervous. Especially Marcos, who had fifteen buckets in his heart. Fetching water, he was nervous, because this attack by Brandenburg's special forces suffered a disastrous defeat!
It was a real fiasco. Out of more than fifty special forces members, he was the only one who survived!
If it had not been for the presence of Konings and four other staff officers, Marcos would have jumped into the Rhine River without being able to clear his suspicions. The Imperial Military Court would most likely have convicted him of treason, otherwise on some other special basis All the team members are dead, but you are okay? Who can believe that you are not secretly colluding with the Soviets
After staring at Marcos with gloomy eyes for a long time, the head of state suddenly asked: "Marcos, although your 800 brigade suffered a disastrous defeat in this attack, it is impossible to gain nothing. Tell me what you gained."
The so-called Eight Hundred Brigade is the official designation of the Brandenburg Special Forces.
Marcos said solemnly: "Führer, the biggest gain is that through this battle we realized that the Soviet Union also formed the same special forces, and its tactics and tactics are definitely not inferior to our 800 Brigade, and the individual strength of its members The tactical literacy of the soldiers may even be better than that of our team members!”
Marcos said this not because he wanted to exonerate himself by praising his enemies.
Marcos really thought so, especially when the enemy sacrificed some of their team members to confuse them, and then unexpectedly launched a second wave of raids. This extremely cruel tactic left a deep impression on him, to a certain extent. , even left a shadow in Marcos's heart.
The head of state turned his attention to Konings again.
Konings said in a deep voice: "Führer, the tactics of the Soviet special forces are indeed sharp!"
The head of state turned to look at Hiram and asked Marcos: "Captain Marcos, don't you feel familiar?"
"Familiar?" Marcos was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his expression changed drastically. He thought that the head of state was implying that he was treason. He felt familiar with the tactics of the Soviet special forces. Doesn't this mean that he was acquainted with the Soviet army
Marcos really couldn't bear the blame, and immediately said hurriedly: "Führer, I never colluded with the Soviet special forces. This failure was an accident. It was just an accident..."
The head of state suddenly raised his hand to stop Marcos from talking.
Marcos swallowed the second half of the sentence abruptly.
"Captain Marcos, you misunderstood." The head of state said quietly, "I ask you, does this Soviet special forces force give you a familiar feeling? It is not that you are accused of being a Soviet spy, but that it wants to attack you. Tell me, don’t you think this Soviet special forces unit is actually very similar to your 800th Brigade?”
"The Soviet special forces are very similar to our 800th Brigade?" Marcos was at a loss.
Hilam on the other side couldn't help but interjected: "Captain, how long have you been a member of the 800th Brigade?"
"More than three years." Marcos replied quickly, "I have been here since the day the 800th Battalion officially became an army."
Marcos was still very afraid of Hilem, who was known as the blond devil, because this guy was really a devil, and if he fell into his hands, life would definitely be worse than death.
Hilam added: "Then you must know a Chinese instructor named Xu Rui."
"Xu Rui? Of course I know." Marcos said, "A fighting master who knows Chinese Kung Fu! But more than two years ago, this guy suddenly disappeared and has never been seen again."
Hillem added: "Very good, then let me tell you another fact now. The Soviet special forces that fought with you in Vyborg this time were not actually Soviet special forces, but a Chinese special forces force codenamed Wolf Fang. special forces, and the commander of this special forces is Xu Rui."
"What?" Marcos opened his mouth.
After a long while, Marcos finally reacted and shouted: "General, you mean, it's this guy Xu Rui? He first returned to China, and then trained a Chinese version of the special forces based on our 800th Brigade. , and then went to the Soviet Union to help the Soviet Red Army destroy the Finns' Mannerheim Line of Defense, and finally in Vyborg... "
"Finally, we destroyed your special forces team in Vyborg!" Hillem said solemnly, "Captain, you should understand what is going on now, right?"
