It took five days for Qin Chuan, Colonel Slein and Rommel to sort out all the information carefully.

These were originally the main jobs of the Western Front Intelligence Department. They had to classify and organize the intelligence, and even index the information, and finally form a complete information link that can be verified based on all intelligence, and mark which places have doubts and which have been confirmed and the methods of verification, etc.

But the troops stationed in France, especially those in Paris, would not do this. They simply piled up the information together and then reported it to their superiors.

For this reason, Colonel Schuster, Director of the Intelligence Department, expressed his guilt to Rommel more than once: "Sorry, Mr. Marshal! I have not done my job well!"

"It's not your fault, Colonel!" Rommel replied coldly: "After all, this is Paris, and you have been in a peaceful society for too long!"

Rommel said on the surface, "I don't blame you", but in fact, it hurts people more than any harsh condemnation, because another meaning of "staying in a peaceful society for too long" is that they are no longer worthy of being called an army, and they are a product of corruption by superior life and enjoyment.

Of course, Rommel's words were not just Colonel Schuster.

Colonel Schuster dared not respond to anything, so he could only apologize and work in awkwardly.

Finally, all the information was sorted out.

Intelligence is mainly divided into three parts:

The first part is from Scotland, northern England.

German intelligence showed that the British 4th Army and the US 15th Army were assembled in Scotland, and they planned to attack Norway across the North Sea.

"There is no doubt about this!" said Colonel Schuster. "The British 4th Army had about 250,000 people and the US 15th Army had about 50,000 people. They had at least two military headquarters, an airborne division, four infantry divisions, an armored division and an armored brigade."

"How did you get this data?" Qin Chuan asked.

"Radio monitoring!" Schuster replied: "They sometimes attach the troops' numbers when communicating, such as 'The Seventh Army requires more sleeping bags'!"

As he said that, Schuster flipped through the documents for a while, then took out a stack of documents and said, "Here, this is a summary of the telegram!"

Qin Chuan took one and flipped it out casually.

Colonel Schuster continued: "And we believe that the target of the Allied 4th Army is Norway!"

"Why?" Qin Chuan asked again.

"Because there is a Kiara Mountain Range (now translated as Scandinavian Mountains) along the coast of Norway!" Colonel Schuster replied: "This mountain range is 1,700 kilometers long and has an average altitude of more than 1,000 meters. While we were monitoring the 4th Army, we found many requirements for mountain climbing equipment and mountain war instructors!"

Qin Chuan looked at the telegram and there were indeed similar things:

"The Second Automobile Company asked for maintenance manuals in plateau environments!"

"The 80th Division urgently needs to add iron nail shoes and snow sleeping bags for climbing!"

"The 79th Division asked to send an instructor who had already agreed to send out a long time ago!"

...

All these are all kinds of orders, reports, requirements and corresponding replies, but they are in a mess but appear detailed and orderly.

"Also!" Colonel Schuster continued: "The British reconnaissance planes also conduct frequent reconnaissance, and the Norwegian guerrillas are also destroying transportation lines and attacking oil refineries, etc."

Rommel nodded and said, "They do have a reason to attack Norway!"

After looking through several documents, Rommel said: "Norway has a large amount of high-quality iron ore and rare metals we urgently need. On the other hand, attacking Norway can echo each other with the Soviet Union. Once they successfully land in Norway, they can attack the Northern Army Group from the Soviet Union to the east, and threaten the entire Eastern Line transportation line to the south!"

"Yes, Lord Marshal!" Schuster replied: "That's exactly what we are worried about!"

Qin Chuan didn't say anything because he knew it was fake and everything was fake.

The entire 4th Army and the 15th Army of the United States do not exist. These are just things that the British army used the German monitoring of radio and the strategic importance of Norway to make up... Only 22 officers and 334 radio personnel who operated all this.

The British called it the "Northern Resilience" plan, with the purpose of which was to drag down the German troops deployed on the Eastern Front, so that they could not reinforce France on a large scale.

But Qin Chuan could not refute anything.

First of all, Scotland, that is, northern Britain, is too far from Germany, which has exceeded the reconnaissance range of German reconnaissance aircraft.

On the other hand, the British Intelligence Agency has cleared almost all German intelligence personnel, and even if there are still a few that have not been discovered, they will never be allowed to enter this area.

If it is in modern times, it seems difficult to do this, but in this era it is very simple

The British method is very simple, and the wartime emergency mechanism is implemented nationwide... All civilian vehicles except military vehicles are not allowed to be on the road. Military vehicles are also subject to strict review.

Therefore, even if the German army sent new intelligence personnel, even if these intelligence personnel were in the UK, they could only walk to the area where intelligence was collected without cars... this is unimaginable, because even if he could successfully reach the designated location through layers of levels, he was afraid that the war would be over.

Therefore, this "Northern Fortitude" plan has almost no flaws.

Because any of these points cannot be verified, everything that happened in Norway, such as guerrilla attacks and sabotage, as well as a large number of reconnaissances by British reconnaissance planes, and even British spies were captured in Norway. According to the confessions of these British spies, it is:

"The British military is in a hurry to understand the snow in Norway!"

"Can Norwegian bridges bear the weight of the M4 Sherman medium tank?"

"The German army's deployment and equipment in Norway!"

...

These intelligence personnel are real, and they were really captured by the German army. Some even successfully committed suicide before being captured, while others were lucky enough to be captured by the German army. Then they had to give their missions under severe torture.

Of course, Qin Chuan knew that these intelligence personnel were actually used, and they did not know until their death that everything they did was just for the Germans to show them.

But their sacrifices also make sense.
