Chapter eight hundred and ninety seventh error
Hitler also knew this, or Hitler couldn't wait to hear Rommel's explanation, so he flew to the French-German border.
Then, while Rommel and others were still in the air, they received a telegram from Hitler to change their target.
"The goal is changed to Metz!" said Rommel.
"Mes?" Qin Chuan couldn't help but be stunned: "'Magino Line of Defense'?"
"Yes!" said Rommel: "The Head of State also seems to want to know your arrangement in the 'Magino Line'!"
Qin Chuan nodded in agreement.
Or it could be said... Hitler suspected that Rommel and Qin Chuan were suspected, and thought that Rommel and others wanted to confront Hitler by relying on the "Magino Line of Defense".
But obviously, Hitler would soon find that Qin Chuan's deployment on the "Maginot Line" was aimed at France... This would reassure Hitler and choose to believe in Qin Chuan, even Rommel, Longdestedt and even the whole thing.
Sure enough, when the helicopter landed at Metz Airport, Major Fein, who came to greet them, saluted Rommel: "The Head of State is inspecting the fortification area, General Rumanlin ordered me to pick you up!"
After driving on the road for more than ten minutes, the two of them entered Metz under Major Fein's leadership.
Rommel looked at the facilities around him with interest, nodded at Qin Chuan, and said, "Lieutenant Colonel, this was not the case when I saw it last time, I did a good job!"
As the elevator descended, several people arrived at the penultimate floor... Qin Chuan remembered that it was the location of the underground train.
After entering the passage, Qin Chuan found that he remembered correctly. Hitler was pointing and discussing something with several officers in the dim light in front of the underground train. One of them was Lieutenant General Rumanlin.
"Hey, they are here!" Lieutenant General Rumanlin waved to the two of them enthusiastically when he saw Rommel and Qin Chuan come in: "Here, Lieutenant Colonel!"
Rommel couldn't help but glance at Qin Chuan, lowered his voice and said, "This guy seems a little different!"
"Marson!" Qin Chuan replied: "He is just a person who wants to save his life, and he thinks this line of defense can be done!"
Rommel nodded to show his understanding.
The two walked up to Hitler, who was wearing a well-equipped military uniform and saluted. Hitler nodded and replied casually.
"My Marshal!" Hitler held Rommel's hand affectionately and said, "Sorry to pull you back from the fierce battlefield, but you know... what you said in the telegram is of great importance!"
"Yes, I understand, Master!" Rommel replied.
"Lieutenant Colonel!" Then Hitler held Qin Chuan's hand again and said, "Before this, Lieutenant General Rumanlin had told me everything you did here, and he had a high evaluation of you. I think you deserve such an evaluation... More importantly, I saw hope. Germany has a vision like you and can think about problems from the perspective of Germany. If there are more people like you in Germany, I don't need to worry about anything!"
"Thank you, Master!" Qin Chuan replied.
"Then..." Hitler said as he walked along the underground train tracks: "Let's discuss the Allied offensive! Are you sure that all the spies we sent to Dover were instigated?"
"Yes, Master!" Rommel said and handed Hitler a document.
Because the lights were too dim, Hitler only flipped through and closed the file.
Lieutenant General Rumanlin invited everyone to continue walking forward with understanding: "Just in front, there is a conference room!"
The lights in the conference room are much better than those outside, and they are equipped with desks, maps, telephones, etc. From this detail, we can see that Lieutenant General Rumanlin has indeed put a lot of effort into this line of defense.
As Hitler looked through the documents, Rommel explained: "The British made the entire deception plan seamlessly until General Cramer appeared before us!"
"General Cramer?" said Hitler: "General Cramer whom they sent back through the Swiss Red Cross?"
"Yes!" Rommel replied: "The British were smart but were mistaken for cleverness. They tried to use General Cramer to convince us that they had assembled a large amount of arms and supplies in Dover, but the Lieutenant Colonel saw through this scam!"
"Oh hoho..." Rumanlin looked at Qin Chuan with admiration: "Lieutenant Colonel, tell me how did you see through them?"
Qin Chuan turned his gaze to Hitler, and Hitler nodded slightly to agree.
Qin Chuan replied: "It's very simple. I just asked General Cramer to draw the terrain he visited and then make people recognize it!"
"It's that simple?" Rumanlin said, apparently not aware of the point.
"Yes!" Qin Chuan replied lightly: "It's that simple!"
But Hitler knew the secret. He looked at Qin Chuan with a thumbs up and said, "So, you are sure that these supplies and equipment are not in Dover, are you?"
"Yes, Master Chief!" Qin Chuan replied: "Shanklin, where they took General Cramer to, made General Cramer think that it was Dover... General Cramer himself was kept in the dark."
Hitler turned his attention to the documents again, and said while flipping through them: "So, for a long time... all the spies we sent to Britain were instigated, and even were instigated shortly after we arrived in the UK! They have been providing us with false information, all of which the British want us to know!"
Hitler's tone became louder and louder, and finally turned into anger.
"This is the empire's shame!" Hitler waved his fist: "It is also my shame. The spy is by my side but I am completely unaware of it! What's more, they are still using false information to cover up the whole truth and make me make a wrong judgment!"
It was rare for Hitler to admit his mistakes in public.
However, he seemed to be using another way to cover up his mistakes in command...it command was caused by false intelligence, not because of himself.
Obviously, Hitler paid more attention to his "military genius" and cut off the enemy's strategic deception from the military!
"I will never let them go!" Hitler said angrily: "I will thoroughly investigate the people involved in this matter and throw them all into jail!"
After pausing, Hitler asked Rommel again: "So, my general! Tell me about the Atlantic Barrier, can we keep it, right?"
