Chapter 597: Churchill's Quotes and Outrage
"Prime Minister Churchill is anxious, and we are also anxious to crack the Enigma code of the Germans' Gardo rotor, just like cracking their latest "tuna code", so as to give our allies a more rapid, comprehensive and full grasp of the movements and dispositions of all the German troops! โ
"It's just that what we didn't expect was that it was mainly used for the German strategic army command and the communication between the Nazi Fรผhrer Hitler and his senior generals, and compared to the Enigma code, the tuna code was more complex and more terrifying, using as many as 12 password dials (Enigma was only 3), which was more difficult to crack."
"But the nature is that this new type of cipher "Tuna Code", which is completely different from the Enigma cipher machine, is completely different from the teletypewriter encryption system, but we have deciphered it, but now we are stumped by the Enigma cipher that we have deciphered, just because the German army has added an extra rotor, and even began to add an insinuation system to it, but now even the "giant" computer designed and successfully developed by Tommy Flovos, which we have always been proud of, cannot be deciphered! โ
Turing also retorted upset.
"Damn the Germans!"
In this regard, intelligence expert Ralph Tester was hideous and scolded viciously.
He vented his frustration in this way, but no matter how much he insulted the Germans now, there was no way for him to get better, because Churchill and George VI gave him not much time to decipher the modified Enigma code of the German army.
If within a month or two, he still has no way to decipher the other party's cipher machine and think of a solution, then he will be demoted, or even leave Bletchley Garden.
"Don't be discouraged! We will work hard to improve our "giant" computers, and I believe that there will be a thousand solutions to a thousand problems, just as we have done in the past, and it is through day and night dedication and hard work that we have deciphered the old Enigma code of the German army and the latest "tuna code". โ
After seeing that the other party suddenly became irritable and depressed, Turing comforted the other party gently.
"Hmmm! Let's hope for it! โ
Hearing this, intelligence expert Ralph Tester took a deep breath, and then tried to show a wry smile.
They then continued to discuss how to decipher the Enigma code of the German army as soon as possible, and even added the Enigma code with the mapping system.
In addition, other staff and volunteers continued to work day and night to intercept, collate, and decipher German military intelligence, mainly radio communication codes heard from the air, and to report the deciphered information directly to the British high command, or directly to Prime Minister Churchill himself.
Churchill has always been concerned about and strongly supported the Bletchley Manor in the town of Bletchley in the town of Bletchley in Milton Keynes, England, also known as "Radio X" and the "Government Code School", as well as the Bletchley Manor, the wartime British intelligence decipherment center.
Especially when the British and American forces were increasingly difficult to obtain information about the German military operations and deployments, he paid more attention to the progress of all the decipherment work on the manor.
Because if they could not get the pre-war movements of the German army, Churchill always felt as if their troops were blind and could not accurately make military arrangements to counterattack the German army, as was the case with the recent successive defeats.
In particular, the defeat in the Battle of Sicily and the Mediterranean naval battle that is now at the end of the victory and defeat are because he does not know the military deployment of the other side; and the source of those advanced weapons and equipment, so it was caught off guard by the German army, and thus suffered heavy casualties and was defeated.
So when all the senior staff of Bletchley Garden Manor held an emergency work meeting, he was also the first to pay attention to the latest developments in the results of Turing's meeting.
"Is the meeting at Bletchley Park Manor finished? If it's over, please send someone over and tell me what the outcome of the meeting was, and how is the naval battle in the Mediterranean now? Are we at an advantage, or are we at a disadvantage? โ
"And how many aircraft carrier fleets, and carrier-based air groups, and fleets are now dispatched by the German Navy! Why hasn't anyone reported these situations to me in detail until now? Is it so difficult for you to get information about the military movements of the German army? โ
"Is it difficult for the moral army to dispatch such a large navy, and not a single intelligence officer in our intelligence department can see it? Are all these informants blind? โ
Churchill was in his room at the Prime Minister's Mansion, awaiting the outcome of Turing's meeting, while snarling at the head of intelligence, Major General Max Moscow, the head of the British MI5, Evans, and the head of the Sixth Intelligence Division, Moseley.
"We are doing our best to investigate, and now in the battle situation in the Mediterranean, two of our front-line fleets have been severely damaged, but the Germans have also paid a lot of carrier-based aircraft and ships!"
"Generally speaking, the number of fleets and aircraft of our army in this naval battle is definitely more than that of the German army, but we have not yet fully counted the total number of aircraft carrier fleets of the German army, and now we have only detected about 7 aircraft carrier fleets, all of which are small and medium-sized aircraft carrier fleets, and the scale is not as strong as our main fleet!"
After Churchill had finished roaring and his mood was not so angry, the head of intelligence, Major General Max Moscow, stood up to his head and replied.
"Again! Why can't you accurately detect the military disposition and strength of the German army? Do we want us to fight like blind men in every battle with those Germans and be killed by them? โ
"You used to be very shrewd and capable, but in the past six months, you seem to have changed, like a wasteless waste!"
"Do you want me to change people? If not, then you can tell me directly! I wouldn't mind being replaced by someone more capable and talented to be my intelligence chief! โ
As soon as the words fell, the irritable Churchill suddenly roared like a madman who had been stepped on by his tail.
In the face of Churchill, who seemed to be nervous and desperately shouting and shouting, the head of the intelligence department, Major General Max Moscow, and these high-ranking officers were all red-faced and red-eared when they were scolded, and they did not dare to refute it, so they could only stand with their heads bowed in frustration and resentment, waiting for Churchill to finish scolding.
I also know very well that if anyone who is blind and bold enough to contradict Churchill will not be in a good situation.
Churchill is not a good-natured guy, if it were not for the fact that Britain needed a resolute and strong official during World War II, then with Churchill's political means and political ability, and Churchill, who did not care at all about the needs of the future working class, would never have been able to be a peacetime prime minister and lead a more prosperous life with LinkedIn.
This can be seen from the fact that he was ousted by the British working class after the war, so Churchill could only be regarded as a second-rate politician in the eyes of later generations of Britons, and a figure who was not sympathetic and willing to take care of the needs of the working class.
"That's it! I'll give you one more chance, then, if you can't find out to me within three days how many aircraft carrier fleets and carrier-based aircraft the German Navy still has, and how many aircraft carriers, aircraft, and troops they have dispatched in this sudden attack in the Mediterranean campaign, then you can give me all my resignation and go home! โ
"We can only win this world war, and we must not lose; Because once defeated, our empire will be in trouble, and even become a defeated country in Germany like France, and be slaughtered by the other side! Even if we don't become a defeated country, if we are blocked by the Germans in the Mediterranean and Atlantic, then most of us in the British Empire will face the fate of starvation! โ
"As the current Prime Minister of the British Empire, I, Churchill, must not watch our people being tortured and slaughtered by the Germans, and the troops of our empire defeated!"
"We" will never give in, never compromise, never, never, never, neverโno compromise under any circumstances, no matter how big or small, no matter how big or smallโwe will never compromise unless it is a matter of honor and merit. โ
"It's a battle of unsung heroes; But fight, don't lose faith, don't be derelict in your duties, Hitler's dark curse will come to an end in our time. โ
"What is our policy, you ask? I can tell you: go to war, start an all-out war on land, sea and air, and fight with all your might; Unleash the power of God and wage war against the tyranny that has been hard to find in the tragic history of human sin. โ
"We're alone, but we're not fighting for ourselves. In the face of war and humiliation, you chose humiliation! But after the humiliation, you still have to face the war! โ
"I don't care what the Germans are doing now, or what their intrigues are, but I can tell you with certainty that as long as I, Churchill, reign for one day, I will lead our empire to the last moment, even if it is alone! God will bless us! โ
But when Churchill, who was in a rage at this moment, saw that all the senior officers of his intelligence department were silent, bowing their heads in fear, and letting him scold as much as he wanted, his emotions fluctuated even more strongly, and he uttered all the famous words he had said before.
His voice was harsh, and it didn't stop until he was hoarse.
Churchill was a short-tempered man, who lived without moderation, and ate and drank excessively, which was famous in the British leadership, and even if he lived to be 90 years old after the war, it was still fate that made the British people change their original views of him too much.
So at this moment, those senior officials of the intelligence department who have been silent and waiting for him to finish scolding him are treating him as a drunk person to let him vent and abuse as much as he wants.
So when Churchill finished scolding, there was silence in the audience, a deathly silence.
