Chapter 729 Evidence

Qin Chuan didn't say anything, pulled Alexander aside, and then asked in a low voice: "Col. Before that, I want to ask if there is another possibility!"

"What's possible?" Alexander asked.

"I think you should know how the African Legion retreated all the way to Algeria and was in a stalemate with the Allies!"

"Of course!" Alexander replied, and then he immediately understood what Qin Chuan meant: "You mean... let my father be like General Rommel..."

"Yes!" Qin Chuan replied: "Is there any way you can convince him!"

Alexander thought about it, then shook his head and said, "I don't think he would agree, because the reason is uncertain, Major!"

Qin Chuan understood what Alexander meant, and that the battlefield was changing rapidly and nothing was certain. Simply put, even at this time, the staff officer and Paulus could not say that Hitler must have been wrong and seized the time must be right... They are not like Qin Chuan, who is a "experienced person" and is sure what will happen in the future if this continues.

Paulus, Alexander and others are all among them. They will be thinking in their hearts: Maybe Hitler has more important information, or what better strategy does Hitler have? If Paulus does not act according to Hitler's orders, he will be dismissed and sent to the military court. Not only will he destroy Hitler's entire strategy.

Therefore, at this time, when the Soviet army had not launched an attack, it would be easier to obey Hitler's orders and had the least responsibility and risk.

Instead, it is a disobeying Hitler's orders, such as withdrawing troops desperately like Rommel, which is not only meaningless but may further worsen the situation.

The reason is very simple. The situation between the Eastern Front and the African Legion is different:

The African Legion led by Rommel can be said to be high and far away, and the troops led by fewer troops can cause little impact.

On the Eastern Front, especially the Stalingrad front, the total force is millions. What's worse is that Hitler is remotely controlled by the "werewolf" not far behind. If Paulus disobeys the order... the most likely thing is that his commander's position as the commander of the army will be lost before his order is implemented.

In this regard, the main responsibility for this matter is not Paulus.

"Then, we have only one way!" Qin Chuan said.

"What's the solution?" Alexander asked, his eyes full of hope.

"In fact, it is the first plan you mentioned, convince the head of state!" Qin Chuan replied.

Upon hearing this, Alexander couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his eyes: "But just like we said before, we can't convince the head of state!"

"That's because we failed to produce evidence!" Qin Chuan said.

"evidence?"

"Yes!" Qin Chuan replied: "I'll say that. From the perspective of the head of state, the reason why he insisted that there was no danger on the Eastern Front or that the forces we have in place could block the enemy's attack was because he might have more credible intelligence in his hands!"

Alexander nodded in agreement, and Hitler would definitely have much more information than the 6th Army.

"And the information we reported to the head of state..." Qin Chuan continued: "For example, the mobilization of Soviet troops and materials, the reconnaissance of the Soviet army, etc., these are actually speculations. Even a considerable part of this intelligence comes from the Romanian army, and the head of state does not believe what they said! If we can obtain reliable evidence to prove our guess, then I believe this will also attract the attention of the head of state and change his ideas!"

Alexander couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

In this battle in history, the reason why Hitler had to hold on to the end was actually related to his personal face... Hitler did not realize that he was misjudging at first, but it was too late to realize that he was misjudging. At the same time, Hitler was unwilling to admit his mistakes, so he went all the way to the dark.

One of these things cannot be said that Hitler continued to make mistakes because of this, but at least it affected Hitler's command: On November 8, Hitler flew from the front line to a beer hall where the once riots in Munich gathered with old friends and classmates.

(Note: A beer hall riot was launched on November 8th, and the gathering at this point was also to commemorate this day)

At this time, Hitler was of course very glorious. He was arrested for his failure in the coup and today he returned to this old place as the head of state. No wonder Hitler flew back from the Eastern Front battlefield to attend this gathering with almost no meaning of implementation.

At the party, Hitler recreated his speech here: "My pistol has four bullets. If they refuse to cooperate with me, three will be left for them, and the last one will be left for myself! If we don't succeed by tomorrow afternoon, I will not want this life!"

People around him applauded this, and someone asked Hitler: "His Excellency, will we withdraw our troops from Stalingrad?"

"No, no!" Hitler replied without thinking: "There is nothing on this earth that can allow us to withdraw from Stalingrad! It is ours!"

Hitler made a promise at the party with confidence, and when he returned to the "werewolf", he immediately received news that the Soviet army had dispatched troops to prepare for a counterattack.

It is conceivable that if you agree with this information immediately, you will undoubtedly slap yourself a few times in the face.

Therefore, at this time, Hitler actually brought his personal feelings into strategic decisions and made subjective biased judgments about the situation.

It was October and Hitler had not attended this party that would make him difficult to get on the road.

If Qin Chuan could obtain conclusive evidence that the Soviets gathered on the Don and the Volga River and had plans to counterattack, then Hitler had no reason to put his hundreds of thousands of elite troops in danger.

After all, the German army had already taken Baku and the Battle of Stalingrad was also won. Its strategic purpose of using "Stalingrad" to attack the morale of the Soviet army has been achieved. It is not embarrassing to take the initiative to withdraw from Stalingrad, but it will be a ridicule of the Soviet army.

After thinking for a while, Alexander said, "The problem is the evidence, Major, what powerful evidence can we produce?"

"Of course there is, colonel!" Qin Chuan looked around and said in a low voice: "For example, we can capture a Soviet officer. Of course, this officer must be of higher rank, colonel or a general..."

"You're crazy, Major!" said Alexander: "Soviet officers, they are not so easy to be captured, even if we have Brandenburg troops!"
