Chapter 287： miss

When the Romanian military and political parties began to secretly prepare for war, its various actions would produce various reactions, which would inevitably attract the attention of interested people. Among them, the German military attache Major Haberts was most concerned. As the head of German intelligence in Romania, this Major Hubberts is very interested in the recent Romanian actions, and now he is receiving a very important informant.

As the head of intelligence in a country with huge influence in Romania, Major Hubberts is also troubled by the expansion of intelligence sources. Those who do not understand intelligence work may think that Germany, which has a huge influence in Romania, should have an innate advantage in intelligence, and its intelligence work should also be very easy to do. Major Haberts has the most say in this.

In the eyes of Major Hubberts, Germany has an influence in Romania, but the intelligence work is still difficult, even after the war, Romania’s intelligence work is even more difficult. Because the Romanian has a good impression of Germany, it does not mean that he will betray the country for this. This is especially difficult to do when Romania’s economy has exploded after the outbreak of the war and its national strength has grown stronger.

Now Major Hubberts is wearing makeup and sitting in a very ordinary cafe, waiting for someone he needs to meet.

At this moment, a customer walked in the cafe. Through his steady pace and upright posture, he could tell that he should be a soldier or a soldier before. Only Major Huberts knew that this was the one he was waiting for, Lieutenant Aberyol, a logistics officer of the Romanian General Staff.

As a very rare informant who can remain in the General Staff, Lieutenant Aberyol also has his own unique way of survival. As a veteran officer who has been in the General Staff for more than ten years, Lieutenant Abyol is also known for his timidity in the General Staff. This feature makes him easily overlooked. Because of all the signs in Romania, now Lieutenant Colonel Hubberts has to use him.

"Hub, what are you looking for me?"

Lieutenant Abyol looked around nervously, and then whispered to the military attaché of the embassy in front of him. It was now at the height of the storm, and he was a bit resistant to Lieutenant Colonel Hubbert's connection.

"Aboyol, don't be so nervous."

Seeing the nervous look of this lieutenant who occupies an important position on the intelligence line, Hubbert soothed.

Hubbert’s comfort did not have any effect, as Abojolyi said. "Everything is tightening now, we shouldn't meet at this time."

"But I have something important and need your help."

Hearing what Hubberts said, Aboyol took a sip of coffee to ease his emotions and talked about it. "Come on, what's the matter?"

Hubberts talked about topics that he cared about. "What's wrong with your general staff recently?"

"Of course there is."

Facing Hubberts’s question, Aboyol said with a mockery of himself. "Your pressure has caused the General Staff to jump around, and now a group of staff are busy drawing up a battle plan against you."

Hearing this, Hubberts asked. "Can you get that plan?"

In response to Hubbert's questioning, Abeyol shook his head and said. "This can't work."

"Why?"

"Because the plan has not been completed yet, it is impossible for you to let me steal it."

Aboyol continued to talk a little emotionally. "And have you considered the risk of stealing the combat plan from the General Staff? You must know that the place where the combat plan is stored is guarded, and no one can borrow it without the warrant of the Chief of Staff and the Chief of the Operations Division. I am an officer of the Logistics Division. , Where is such a great ability to get this for you."

Seeing the agitated Lieutenant Abeyol, Hubberts quickly calmed him down. "Sorry, Abyol, I said something wrong. I mean I hope you can understand the tone of the staff who made the plan, and I will judge for myself."

Considering that this is a coffee shop that cannot be noticed, Abeyol calmed down. But inwardly, he sneered at Hubberts' words. Probing? Said lightly. Inquiring into the latest battle plan in the General Staff, for fear of not being noticed at this tense moment, it is a terrible thing for the timid Lieutenant Abyol.

But Aberjol also knew that the German military attache came to him at this tense moment. Without enough information, it would be impossible to make a deal, so he thought about it and said it. "I can only tell you now that the plan currently being developed within the General Staff is about the invasion of Transylvania in Austria-Hungary."

The general staff has been working on the battle plan against Austria-Hungary for a long time, and it is normal that only a few words are circulated within the general staff. And Aboyol used the convenience of being a logistics officer to obtain this news.

Hubberts heard the words of the lieutenant officer in front of him, and he already had the answer in his mind, so he continued to ask. "Can you ask how long this plan has been made?"

Facing Hubbert's question, Aberjor said disgustedly. "How would I know."

Hearing Aboyol's complaint, Hubbert also whispered himself that the question was too idiotic, so he asked in another way. "How long have you got this news?"

"There are about twenty days."

‘about twenty days’, Hubberts kept thinking about this time in his mind. Hubberts himself was also an officer-born, and he was familiar with making battle plans. Generally speaking, a combat plan that needs to be used takes several months, and it needs to be modified according to different environments. In the extreme, a bridge needs to be modified after major repairs.

Therefore, according to Abeyol, even a logistic officer of the General Staff did not know that it took about 20 days. Hubberts himself judged that Romania's combat plan should not exceed one and a half months. This is because if the formulation time is too long, it cannot be concealed for too long, and this is not a complete combat plan, and it does not need to be too confidential.

In this era, the organizations that formulate combat plans in various countries (not necessarily all of the General Staff) have a plethora of combat plans for various situations. If you open it, you will find that they all face the air, ( In addition to fighting aliens, you will find various plans) But these battle plans are basically a waste of life Is this your judgment? "

Later that same day, inside the German Embassy, ​​Ambassador Baslob looked at the judgment made by Lieutenant Colonel Hubberts from the information obtained from Abyol and asked. "Does this need to be made after understanding?"

Facing the ambassador’s inquiry, Lieutenant Colonel Hubberts replied confidently. "Your Excellency is not necessary. I am also an officer and have participated in the formulation of various combat plans. From the information we have received, Romania will take at least three months to prepare for the military. I have reservations in the judgment book. Now, two and a half months is the limit for Romanians."

Seeing Hubbert’s extremely confident answer, Ambassador Baslob could not say anything. After all, he was not an officer, and he didn’t know much about military affairs. The reason for him to ask more is that when he was preparing to send information to Berlin this time, the lieutenant colonel attached his own judgment, and the ambassador was concerned about it.

Because it is customary for the local embassy to include its own judgment when sending back news or intelligence, then Berlin will use this as an important reference. After all, the local embassy knows the situation better. But if the judgment is wrong, the board from Berlin is definitely not light. Out of consideration for colleagues and himself, Ambassador Baslob’s inquiry is justified.

But Ambassador Baslob did nothing. "It seems that most of this information is about our ally, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, so we should also tell Ambassador Bailey."

So that evening, two telegrams with almost the same content were sent to Berlin and Vienna.
