Chapter 1036

In one second, remember [?], To provide you with wonderful novel reading.

Looking out of the window at a group of German infantry squatting on the ground smoking and collecting firewood for cooking, a decent man in a suit frowned. Through the thick curtain, he looked at these unexpected visitors passing by the town from the gap, and felt unspeakable.

These German soldiers with guns were restrained by orders. They did not easily disturb the life of the local people. They just passed by in a hurry. Even if they stopped, they just left after a meal. Because of this, the local people did not regard these soldiers from Germany as outsiders. Some even sold cigarettes and drinks to the enemies who came from afar.

How many German soldiers are passing by today? At the beginning, they were armored scouts in armored vehicles. They passed very fast and carefully. Then there were German tanks rumbling down the town road, full of German grenadiers with guns.

Then there are German cavalry on high horses, mechanized infantry in all kinds of cars, and all kinds of guns, including 75mm field guns and 105mm cannons, are towed behind those trucks. Then there are these ordinary German infantry who are struggling with their two legs. Their speed is not fast, and they will stay in the small town for a meal before they leave.

The man put down the curtain in his hand and went back to his room. He rechecked the door and window, so that he could help him delay when an outsider wanted to enter the room. Then he went back to his second floor, where he had just observed the German troops, and pulled out a small and exquisite radio station from a dark grid behind the table.

He can be said to be a very successful businessman in the local area. He owns his own shop. In the eyes of neighbors, he is an amiable gentleman. Sometimes he will sit on the only street in the town and throw some candy to the children passing by.

However, his real identity is a grass-roots spy trained by the United States. Recently, he was used to monitor whether Italy can fulfill the basic requirements expected by the United States on the issue of seceding from the axis powers.

After a little consideration, he sent out a telegram, which was very simple: "Captain de * * drive in!" The value of this telegram_ txt; They don't know how big they are, but they are only responsible for transmitting what they see to distant intelligence stations, not for analyzing the meaning of intelligence representatives. This is his job, an important one that has been assigned several years ago.

The deployment and use of spies is a long-term job. What akado did more than ten years ago is to expand the work that major countries are doing. In fact, there are old spies hiding in each other's camp. Sometimes they have been hiding for decades, and they will not use them until they die. Such old spies are often very innocent and powerful.

After he sent the telegram, he carefully put away the telegraph machine in his hand and put it into the dark box behind the desk. Then he went back to the window and, with his expressionless eyes, looked at the German infantry who had begun to eat outside the yard.

Several chariots with 75mm caliber infantry guns passed by the soldiers. The artillery sitting on the chariots leaned against the ammunition box and swayed slightly with the shaking of the chariot. They were in a hurry to get to the real front line, so without stopping to have a rest, they crossed the town and headed further south.

The man drew a cross in front of his chest with his hand, and then whispered his thoughts in his heart: "Almighty Lord, I hope you can bless America and defeat such a powerful enemy! Amen

……

At the same time, in the US intelligence building on the other side of the ocean, more than a dozen telegraph machines received telegrams from various regions. Obviously, there was not only one spy deployed by the United States in Italy. These potential intelligence personnel finally sent back vital information when the United States needed them most.

"Sir! Information has just come from intelligence station 4. The Germans have occupied the city of Milan! There was no big fight An officer in charge of translating the code stood behind the head of the intelligence department, stood at attention, saluted and reported aloud.

Another officer rushed over, handed another document to the frowning intelligence officer, and then breathlessly reported the news: "information from intelligence station 6, he saw a large number of German troops passing through his area."

"What's going on at intelligence station 9? Any news? I need to know exactly where the Germans are advancing and where their armor is? " The intelligence chief dropped the message on the desk and looked up at the huge map that a group of sergeants were revising.

There are more and more places marked with the discovery team, which is obviously not the situation the allies want to see. What Mussolini had promised, and what the Allies wanted to see, was the battle for the border defense line, which did not break out. On the contrary, the German army drove straight in, and there was no real exchange of fire with the Italian army.

"This is not the speed of advance in combat! It's faster than an army on its way! I need to confirm whether there are any forces in Italy to resist the German army, and whether Mussolini can control the situation! " The intelligence director angrily ordered all the intelligence stations to take action to find out in the shortest time whether Italy really broke with the axis powers or whether it was just a huge trap dug by Germany and Italy for the allies. A few hours ago, the secret diplomatic mission in Rome, Italy, sent back the last telegram, claiming that it was being attacked by German special forces, and then there was no message. Without this intelligence station closest to Mussolini, the American control of the situation in Italy began to become chaotic. They don't know whether the Italian side will continue to cooperate, whether Mussolini's decision to leave the axis powers is a trap to attract the United States into the net, or whether it is really a second battlefield opened up. You should know that all the foundations of the American raid are based on the premise of the Italian anti water war. After arriving in Italy, it is necessary for the local troops to take over, and the cooperation and support of the local people, so that this force can play its due role. If Italy is isolated, and the Americans can't rely on tens of thousands of people to fight a landing war in the hinterland of the axis powers, that's crazy. Therefore, how Italy's attitude is really very important to the United States. Thinking of this, the intelligence director quickly dialed a direct call to the White House: "get me Mr. President! I have something important to report to him! " He waited for just a few seconds, and Roosevelt's voice came over the phone. After all, Roosevelt was also concerned about the situation in Italy, which could change the situation of the battlefield at any time. He could not help but not care: "I'm Roosevelt!"“ Mr. President! According to the information just received, Italy's northern defense line collapsed in a flash, and the German army had marched into... "The head of the intelligence department thought about the wording, and then said the worst situation:" now the situation there is very chaotic, we can't even be sure whether Italy is fighting back or has surrendered. "..." President Roosevelt was silent for a while. Then he asked, "I don't care about Italy any more. Please answer your question truthfully... From the existing intelligence analysis, how likely do you think the German army has grasped the information of Italy's secession from the axis ahead of time?"“ Mr. President! From the information we have at present, the probability that the German army will know the news in advance and be ready is at least 90%! " The other party's response was particularly straightforward, which also confirmed Roosevelt's worry from one side. Since the German army can enter Italy so cleanly, it's a joke to say that they didn't prepare in advance. President Roosevelt closed his eyes, reached out and rubbed his nose, as if thinking about an important decision. Now that the intelligence services have almost confirmed the advance German preparations, the whole Italian plan is no longer feasible. Because all these plans are based on German carelessness. In fact, if you think about it now, it's a bit of self deception to believe that the intelligence secrecy work of Italy and the allies can deceive the Germans. If it wasn't for the fact that the United States could not find the means to attack Germany, and if the benefits of the whole plan were not enough to change the whole war situation, the US intelligence department would not have found that everything seemed to fall into the trap of the Germans at the last second“ I think that two days ago, our intelligence officers found that the German fleet at William's military port did not return to the port on time. This intelligence should also be true. " Asked Roosevelt suddenly“ Yes, I think the German fleet should have been lying in ambush near gibraltarian, waiting for us to take the bait. " American intelligence officials said helplessly. Italy's performance is too abnormal, and it is too disappointing for the Americans. Even if it narrowly breaks through gibraltarian, it will be Italy, an axis power, which has to land before the first World War, waiting for the Americans“ So! "Copy all the information obtained by the intelligence department to the Navy and the army..." Roosevelt sighed and said, "call our fleet back and cancel the action plan."
