"Oh, really?" Major General Foigt objected: "Then why did the British do this? I mean, exposing their strategic objectives, is it just a matter of making us guess that they will attack Greece? ”

"Because the goal is so obvious!" Qin Chuan replied: "The British themselves know this...... As soon as they move, for example, they add hundreds of thousands of infantry, and for example, many transport ships pass through the Suez Canal, these are all under our surveillance, aren't they? ”

There is no doubt that the German army at this time received support from all sides, including the Egyptian guerrillas, because of its support for the independence of North African countries.

So, any supplies that passed through the Suez Canal were not a secret to the Germans.

"In this case!" Qin Chuan continued: "Any fool would have guessed that they were going to land in Sicily, just as all of us guessed this! Sorry, I don't mean that all of us are fools! ”

The officers couldn't help but laugh.

Rommel added self-deprecatingly: "In front of you, we seem to be fools!" ”

The officers smiled again.

After the laughter stopped, Qin Chuan continued: "All this is expected by the British, so ...... The British thought it would be difficult to hide their strategic objectives, such as pretending to attack Greece, but in fact making such a false impression would make people suspect that their strategic goal was Sicily, which is almost 'three hundred taels of silver here'! ”

"What do you mean?" Colonel Slain couldn't help but ask.

"What?"

"What does it mean, 'There are no three hundred taels of silver here?'"

"Oh!" Only then did Qin Chuan realize that he had inadvertently said a Chinese idiom.

"That's right!" Qin Chuan replied, "There is a man who earned three hundred taels of silver...... As you know, three hundred taels of silver were very valuable, and he was afraid that they would be stolen, so he buried them in the ground. And then...... Do you know what he did? He put a plank in it and it said, 'There are no three hundred taels of silver here.'" ”

The officers in the command headquarters were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly burst into laughter.

"I'm glad you understood the story!" Qin Chuan said.

"Please, Captain!" Colonel Slain said, "We're not that stupid! ”

"Colonel Slain!" General Stryk asked rhetorically, "What did you just say?" ”

"We're not that stupid, are we?" Colonel Slane replied.

"Uh-huh!" General Stryk raised his eyebrows: "There are no three hundred taels of silver here!" ”

The officers laughed again.

Rommel smiled bitterly and said, "Gentlemen, this meeting is about to turn into a joke conference, but what about him? We have time...... Now, go ahead and hear what the Captain has to say! ”

"The British are obviously not so stupid!" Qin Chuan continued: "They know that it is useless to disguise their strategic goals in the old way, because Sicily is obviously much more important and direct than Greece, and once they occupy Sicily, they can directly cut off our transportation lines and even open the door to land in Algeria!" So, the British did the opposite, deliberately revealing their strategic purpose to lead us to suspicion, just as just now, everyone thought that Greece was the real destination, and that was what the British wanted. ”

Rommel nodded when he heard this.

After a pause, Qin Chuan continued: "And the British, you can bomb and reconnoiter Sicily openly, because these will be considered false anyway, so the more real you do, the more fake it will be!"

"How is this possible?!" Major General Foigt said: "So that's it? Britain is just waiting for us to be deceived? ”

"Of course not!" Qin Chuan said: "In the next step, the British will deliberately reveal some documents to us, and these documents will tell us clearly...... Their strategic goal is Greece, and all preparations for Sicily are fake! Of course, this information will be done very truthfully, and it will be revealed by accident, so we were only suspicious at first, but after we have these documents...... Everyone will believe that their target is Greece! ”

"Unthinkable!" General Stryk said, "They were using our minds, and the captain was able to guess the ...... so quickly"

Of course, these are not Qin Chuan's guesses, Qin Chuan is not so harmful, these are real meat filling plans in history, but there is another greater possibility of meat filling plans at that time...... In addition to Greece, there is also Sardinia.

"That's just your guess, Captain!" Major General Foigt objected: "What if things are not as complicated as you think, and the Allies just want to land in Greece?" ”

"General Foigt!" General Stryk interjected, "Do you need me to remind you?" We thought that the Allies would land in Greece, and we also speculated, but what if it turned out to be as the captain said? ”

Major General Foigt was speechless.

After a pause, Rommel frowned and said, "Yes, Greece or Sicily, both of these may be our guesses, and none of us can be sure." Now, I think we'll just have to wait! ”

"What are you waiting for?" General Stryk couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Will what the Captain said come true?" Rommel replied: "If, as the captain said, the British are next...... They will deliberately give us information that will mislead us into believing that their real target is Greece. If this happens, it's time to prove the captain right, isn't it? ”

The officers couldn't help but nod their heads.

Only Major General Foigt smiled and said, "No, this can't happen!" ”

"Why?" Rommel asked.

"Because there is one more problem for British intelligence officers to consider!" Major General Foigt said: "After the information is revealed, they must also think that the information has not been revealed, otherwise fools will know that it is time to change the plan, which ...... It's almost impossible to do! ”

Major General Foigott is right, this logic seems to be a bit twisted, simply put, once the British realize that their intelligence has been leaked, then it is common sense that they should change the battle plan, so the leaked information is of no value to the German army and the British army.

Therefore, everything Qin Chuan said can only happen under one circumstance, that is, the British army deliberately leaked the information, and the Germans got the information but did not let the British find out, so the British thought that the information was not leaked and continued to proceed as planned.

It's really difficult to do that, but it's clearly ...... Major General Foigt underestimated the intelligence of British intelligence officers.
