Chapter 742 Change
Qin Chuan did it right.
The fact is that Hitler was very helpful after hearing the conversation between Qin Chuan and Alexander.
Because if you understand it like Qin Chuan, Hitler's approach is not a wrong judgment, but a kind of caution and a manifestation of being responsible for the lives of front-line officers and soldiers.
People often have this kind of mentality that they are unwilling to make mistakes in front of lower-level people.
For example, Hitler, it would be easier if he admitted his mistake in front of Paulus, the commander of the army. It would be very difficult if he lowered his head in front of a colonel or even a major.
So what Hitler actually cared more about Qin Chuan and Alexander's ideas, and Qin Chuan gave him a satisfactory answer.
On the other hand, as Qin Chuan thought, when people who are suspicious by nature hear Qin Chuan's words of "self-reflection", they become more and more convinced that Qin Chuan obtains this evidence is true... The reason is very simple. No one will doubt their evidence like Qin Chuan, and they usually tend to their own side.
Of course, Hitler would not make the decision just like this.
He asked the intelligence agencies to re-examine Seninovich.
However, this step is just a formality, and Hitler did not have much hope of finding loopholes in this.
Hitler focused on verifying the correctness of intelligence.
Because if the Soviets planned to use Xielafimovic and Abuganerovo as a breakthrough, they would inevitably do some preparations in these two places, such as storing ammunition, equipment, concentrating more troops, etc.
These can be reconnaissed with Air Force reconnaissance aircraft and Brandenburg troops.
The reason why Hitler did not do this before was because he believed that the Soviets were powerless to fight back under his own offensive.
The reconnaissance surprised Hitler...
The relevant information quickly flew to the "Werewolf" headquarters like snowflakes. Because this time it was targeted, both aerial reconnaissance and ground reconnaissance of Brandenburg's troops showed that the Soviets did have large-scale assemblies in these two directions.
Let’s just say whether the Soviet counterattack intelligence is correct or not, this has proved that the intelligence that Hitler had before, that is, the Soviet army’s power to counterattack intelligence was wrong.
After walking around the command center for a while, and comparing the information obtained from the reconnaissance and Seninovich's confession again and again, we found that most of them corresponded to each other, so Hitler finally believed that all this was true.
On the other hand, Hitler also understood that it would be impossible not to admit his mistakes.
Because as Qin Chuan said, this is related to the safety of the 6th Army and even the entire Eastern Front, and even the fate of Germany... At this time, Germany had already encountered the shortage of strength. The troops of the Southern Army Group attacked Stalingrad were still put together. If the 6th Army was surrounded and annihilated, the consequences would be unimaginable. The German Empire would probably collapse like a domino, and the 6th Army would be the first domino to fall.
This is true. After the Battle of Stalingrad, the German army was in a slump on the Eastern Front. Although the subsequent Battle of Kursk was an attack initiated by the German army, it was just a return.
On the other hand, the Allied landed in Normandy and completely put the German army in an embarrassing situation of attacking the head and not caring about the tail.
After making up his mind, Hitler first called Canaris and scolded him.
"Look at what these are?!" Hitler angrily threw the document in front of Canaris: "Do you know what we have reconnaissed? We have reconnaissed millions of Soviet troops gathered on the opposite bank of the Don and Volga Rivers to prepare for a counterattack, millions! This is what you said that the Soviet troops did not have enough power to launch a counterattack?!"
Canaris looked at the information and couldn't help but speechless, but he continued to explain: "His Excellency, this may be a scam by the Soviets..."
"This is not a scam!" Hitler screamed and roared, while waving his arms to express his anger: "On the contrary, the intelligence you provide is more like a scam. It makes me make a wrong judgment, transfer the defensive forces to France, and even ignore the warnings of the frontline officers and soldiers again and again! Do you know what would happen if I believed your intelligence? The 6th Army will be surrounded by the Soviets! The entire Eastern Front will cause a collapse!"
"Prime Minister..."
"Disappeared from me, you idiot!" Hitler didn't want to hear Canaris' explanation at all: "You almost made me an executioner, an executioner who slaughtered his own officers and soldiers! A historical sinner!"
Canaris hurriedly left Hitler's office, and he knew that it was useless to explain anything on Hitler's anger, and what's worse was...he could not give a reasonable explanation.
Then Paulus and the other three were invited to the office again.
When several people walked into the office, they looked at the documents all over the ground and Hitler, who was so angry that his face turned pale, were stunned.
"Sorry, gentlemen!" Hitler calmed down and explained: "You know, there are always people who can't see how heavy the burden on their shoulders are, and they don't realize that the mistakes they made will affect the safety of many officers and soldiers on the front line! And you..."
Hitler nodded to the three of them and said, "You are right, and all kinds of signs show that... the Soviets did have a counterattack plan! Your persistence and efforts saved the 6th Army, saved the Eastern Front, and even Germany!"
Alexander glanced at Qin Chuan in surprise, because the words Hitler said implicitly what Qin Chuan said before in front of the eavesdropping device, that is, he was responsible for the lives of front-line officers and soldiers.
Until now, Alexander understood the intention of Qin Chuan saying those words at that time.
"So, Master!" Paulus asked: "What do you think we should do now?"
As he said that, Paulus glanced at Alexander and Qin Chuan and signaled them to leave. After all, this was a high-level secret and could not be contacted by the colonel or major.
But when Qin Chuan and Alexander were about to leave, Hitler stopped him and said, "No, I think you should stay!"
"Hissergeant of the Head..."
Paulus wanted to explain this but was interrupted by Hitler.
"They are trustworthy people, general!" Hitler said: "I learned about the entire 'mouse-catching operation' from Major General Seninovich..."
