Akkado also nodded. After all, he personally initiated and inquired about the overwintering plan of the whole east line. He knew how well Germany had prepared, so he was full of confidence in the German war this winter. He pointed to the report form on his desk with a smile and showed off to Gaskell: "the work of storing and distributing winter clothes is going on secretly. At least every German soldier will not be frozen this winter. This is the result of our efforts."
After a pause, he continued: "the Soviet Union is waiting for its own secret weapons. They hope to equip some new weapons before the winter comes and surprise us in winter. Unfortunately, we have all their plans, so we can know that they are not ready to fight back immediately."
He pointed to the Balkans and said to gascol, "order the beehive to collect all the plans and stages of the Soviet Red Army's preparations. I need to know their ammunition reserves, military training, and even the movement of every general. Try to gather all the information for us. "
"I have ordered that general Kluger's troops be transferred to cooperate with the recruits to form the j group army, divide the Balkans with Italy and Turkey, and build a German sea port in the Mediterranean!" He knocked on the map and finally said firmly: "I have given the order of the supreme command for this plan. I have approved the nomination of the army commander of the j group army. An armored warfare expert, Herman? General Holt. "
"So, my head of state, the Balkan War is about to begin?" Gaskell asked excitedly. His intelligence department has been operating there for seven years just to cooperate with this military operation. Now it's time to test the army intelligence department. Whether it will succeed or fail depends on the next few days.
Referring to the Balkan War, akado sighed: "diplomatic efforts have failed. Greece and other countries have naturally turned to the United States and the British royal family. After all, our Axis powers have absorbed Turkey. As long as they are not stupid, they can guess that we will compromise with Turkey on the Balkan issue."
Greece and Yugoslavia are not fools. The main reason why their diplomats have been flirting with Germany is that they are afraid that Germany will sell its Balkan interests in order to bring Turkey into the partnership. Now that Turkey has joined the axis power, the situation can not be clearer. Greece and other Balkan countries have naturally started to fully lean towards the United States and the British royal family. In order to make trouble for Germany, the United States has also sent many military affairs to the Balkan Peninsula when the Soviet Union attacked Germany.
Now, the last fig leaf has been torn down, and war in the Balkans is imminent. Italy is sharpening its swords in the west, Turkey in the southeast, Romania and Germany in the north, and people in the Balkans have taken up arms to defend their homes. However, compared with the nearly 1 million Axis forces around them, the British garrison and local forces here are too small.
Britain has only three battalions here (the rest have been transferred to North Africa), and another regiment is stationed in Crete. Greece has about 150000 troops in 10 divisions, and other countries have 330000 troops in 20 divisions. It seems that close to 500000 troops are not bad in number, but these troops lack heavy weapons, air force and sea power to provide support.
However, for the local people, they are determined to defend their homes to the death. These people calmly face the coming aggressors, and even many people are optimistic that the opponent is only 200000 (the German army has about 200000 troops). The commander-in-chief of the Greek army even optimistically estimated that as long as the German offensive was stopped, the offensive in other directions would stop. He even declared to reporters in public that if the German army invaded the Balkans, it would be a turning point in the war.
Obviously, the Greek army did not only talk like their commanders. They knew that they could not fight against the more than 1000 tanks and nearly a thousand planes mobilized by the German army, so they began to dig fortifications and build solid defensive positions in important defensive areas.
After thinking about it for a while, akado remembered that gaskel was still standing in the room, so he laughed awkwardly and continued: "I didn't call you because of the upcoming Balkan War, but because there is an important situation I want to discuss with you and see how to deal with it."
"Oh? What's the situation? " Gascol and other akado recollect, suddenly said by the head of state, asked in a hurry.
"This is the record of sorties sent by the air force, as well as the record of intercepting enemy aircraft. Look what's weird on it." Akado found a record from a pile of documents on his desk, handed it to gascol and said, "don't look at the incident that Hartman shot down the 100th plane yesterday. I'm really surprised, but it's not what I want you to see."
"The people the Fuehrer sent to the front line are all hot now. That Ryan has another Hartman." Gascol paid a compliment, and then carefully looked through the records. He was able to sit in his present position by no means flattery. He knew that the Fuehrer wanted him to work, not to compliment him.
"My head of state, according to the record, since July, the number of air forces taken off by the Soviet Red Army has been almost zero. However, after July 1, the number of Soviet planes taking off suddenly increased, which was very wrong. There is no reason to take off and die without foundation. " Gaskel frowned and saw at a glance the abnormal take-off of the Soviet aircraft in the future.
"Look at this one again." Akado handed another document to gascol. This is not an intelligence document, but an order. This operational order was issued by the general staff of the army. The content of the order is to order the tanks in the east line to hit Kiev in batches and carry out the work of thickening the armor“ The information was leaked... And so on... Not leaked, but discovered by the other party. " Gascol immediately made his own conclusion after reading: "the order was issued on the 21st. If the information is leaked, the other side will take action on the 21st. The other side will start to take off a large number of planes to attack on the 21st. Obviously, the information will be obtained later."“ This is also the conclusion of the Intelligence Department of the SS. " Akado nodded: "electronic detection found that there is a radio station of the other party near Kiev, which is not active, so it is unable to determine its specific location. However, there are Soviet spy agencies working in Kiev to provide some intelligence information to the top of the Soviet Union. "“ My head of state. " Gascol stood at attention: "I'll take care of this. I'll catch these people as soon as possible. After all, I'm familiar with this kind of work." Akado laughed: "I'll wait for your news, go!"
