Chapter 293: Vision
Germany's intelligence work has always been an area of great concern to Xu Jun, and it can be said that Germany's current brilliant victory, in addition to a part of the luck, the lead in intelligence information has played a very crucial role in the middle, and the so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles, and the consequences of unilateral transparency in strategic confrontation will be fatal.
The huge spy network that Cyborg Jack worked so hard to build around the world is now all cheaper than Xu Jun, and it has been proved that these little shadows can be worth a group army at a critical moment. Xu Jun has always attached great importance to the construction of Odin's Eye, and this intelligence agency that came to the fore from behind the scenes did not live up to the Führer's expectations of them, in the previous several operations, each time handed over a beautiful answer sheet, although there were a few small mistakes, but also because of the lack of experience, and quickly made up for it, in the eyes of Xu Jun, who is familiar with this history, this performance has been very good.
The Polish cryptographers captured this time were praised as legends by the Polish government in later generations, and the three mathematical geniuses found an algorithm that could quickly retrieve the secret key of the message on the basis of the Enigma commercial model, and the French side with the help of the traitors of the German Cryptography Bureau, just obtained the key structural data of the Enigma machine, after the fall of Poland, these intelligence experts all defected to their French counterparts, so under the technical cooperation of France and Poland, this team did decipher a lot of German communication codes. However, in this time and space, as the Germans improved the machines and keys, this decipherment work became more and more difficult, and with the rapid collapse of the French front-line troops, the value of these people in the eyes of the French government plummeted, which is why the French only remembered to look for them after they had been missing for almost three days.
Although no clear evidence has been obtained to indicate who is behind the incident, there are clues exposed from the identity of the person involved and his belongings. It is not difficult to speculate that it must have something to do with the country across the Atlantic. This is the second time this month that Germany has thwarted the enemy's secret espionage operation, and for the intelligence industry, this provocation by the other side is almost equivalent to a declaration of war, and the Eye of Odin is ready to retaliate at this time, and must not sit back and watch that group of arrogant guys do whatever they want on their own turf.
However, this incident also reminded Xu Jun that the German army should also form a more professional code-breaking team to see if it can obtain the latest movements of the enemy army in time on the battlefield. Or early detection of the enemy's strategic arrangements will directly affect the commander's decision accordingly.
Bletchley Manor in England has been reduced to a scorched earth in Operation Hammer, and the results of Britain's previous work on the Enigma machine and the entire team of experts have been burned to ashes. Xu Jun didn't think about using them for his own use before, but he was worried that after invading the British mainland, these people would be transferred out of the country early, this team has accumulated a lot of practical decipherment experience, and is very familiar with the German cipher system, although it has not been able to produce many results, but it will definitely make a breakthrough in time. So the loss of these people and any of their achievements could pose a threat to Germany's communications security.
After weighing the pros and cons, Xu Jun ruthlessly ordered to cut down the grass and eradicate it, strangling all possible threats in infancy. At that time, in addition to some military intelligence personnel, there were also a large number of mathematicians, linguists and cryptography experts, such as the famous mathematician Turing, who was also on the list of victims. The loss of these people is a huge loss for the scientific community, but if Xu Jun is allowed to make a choice again. He's still going to make the same decision.
Germany also had very good mathematicians, but they were never taken seriously by the Nazis. The Germans believed too much in the spies' ability to steal secrets and did not put much effort into codebreaking. Xu Jun is now ready to make amends for this mistake and has decided to set up the German Bletchley Group, which he will invest a considerable amount of money in and believes will bear satisfactory results.
In addition to this, Xu Jun is also preparing to carry out research and development work on electronic computers. The manufacture of this early tube model does not have any technical threshold for the current electronics industry in Germany, and there is not much difficulty in production. What is currently lacking in Germany is the idea of creating projects, and there is no shortage of technology and experience in manufacturing. Xu Jun kept the drawings of the electronic digital integration computer in his mind, as long as he took time to draw them. You should see the finished product ready soon. The problem is that the hardware problem is easy to solve, and the training of corresponding software design and application talents takes a certain amount of time, but the current need in this area is not particularly urgent, and there are a large number of college talents available for screening, Xu Jun is not very anxious about this.
Germany has obtained a large number of important science and technology from the British, such as cavity magnetron technology, which Germany only knows a little about before, and they know from the information transmitted by spies that Britain has made a breakthrough in this area, but it is not until LinkedIn that it has obtained a complete physical object for the first time. And to the great surprise of the Germans, this technology was almost taken to the United States by a scientific and technological officer, but fortunately the submarine Setis was successfully intercepted, and the Germans captured a large number of British professionals and secret military technology on that submarine, and when they read the list submitted by the Eye of Odin, even the usually calm General Weierle could not help but break out in a cold sweat.
This incident also caused the Eye of Odin to turn his attention to the other side, and this kind of digging is obviously not carrying any kindness, but given that the opponent has been openly criticizing Germany in the media for some time, it is not too surprising to do such a thing.
In this case, the hostility of the adversary was even more obvious, bribing and plotting against the French intelligence services, intending to organize codebreakers to sneak across the border, and the scope of their operations was entirely directed against the Wehrmacht. These have clearly revealed the purpose of the opponent, they are trying to crack the secret communications of the German army, and these Poles can help the other side to avoid many detours.
In the Führer's small room, Lieutenant Colonel Kirsten's report continued.
"The Gaudron transport plane had been sealed in the warehouses of the French Air Force Aviation School before the start of the war, and they managed to buy off the night guards of the aviation school, but the problem was that these people did not have a maintenance record of the aircraft, and did not know that one of the engines was faulty. In order to avoid revealing the origin of the aircraft, they also scribbled off all the numbers and logos on the aircraft. At present, we know that the pilot was transferred from the Spanish Air Force, and the exact identity needs to be verified.
They took off from the outskirts of Paris in the early hours of the same day to turn to Limoges over Rouen, only to turn off the right engine when they were about to reach the steering point. At that time, in order to avoid being detected by our radar, the pilot flew at a very low altitude, so when he lost half of his power, he simply did not have time to react more, and it was not so much a forced landing as a direct crash to the ground. Henrik. Zogarsky, the pilot and navigator died on the spot at the time of the crash, and the rest fled the crash site in a hurry, fearing that nearby garrisons would be drawn.
What happened next was just as described in the Flag Guard report. We captured four prisoners, one of whom was killed on the spot for resisting, and one of our soldiers was seriously injured during the capture, but after being rescued by the base hospital, he was temporarily out of danger and is currently under close observation. That's all we have now, my Führer. After Lieutenant Colonel Kirsten finished his report, he sat up straight and looked at Xu Jun, waiting for a possible question.
"Those two Poles, if possible, try to convince them to cooperate with us, they are very knowledgeable about rotor cipher machines, and should be helpful in the code breaking work of the Espionage Bureau." Xu Jun put the cigar on the edge of the ashtray and picked up the document in front of him.
"We need irrefutable evidence that the Spanish intelligence services were involved in this incident. At the same time, it is necessary to find a way to pry open the jazz's mouth and try to find out his network in Europe. Since some people want to play with fire, then we fulfill their wishes. After Xu Jun finished speaking, he stood up, and the subordinates present hurriedly stood up.
"I'll be discussing the question of Asia at the regular meeting of the High Command in an hour's time, Lieutenant Colonel Kirsten, you will also be present at the meeting, and you must be prepared for this."
"Yes, my Führer." Kirsten bowed slightly.
"Dogen, get my car ready, I'm going to the hospital to see the wounded." Xu Jun nodded at Kirsten, then turned his face to Dogen and gave the order. (To be continued.) )
