Chapter 396 Estimation

Here we have explained "super secrets", and many readers said that we should reveal this. But first we should understand what "super secrets" are... It is the prototype of a computer, a universal decoding machine, which means that it is useless to reveal it. Telling Hitler today that your code has been cracked, changing a set of codes, and being cracked by "super secrets" again a few days later, does not make any sense. Secondly, "super secrets" were more confidential than the American atomic bomb at the time, and few people in the world knew about it. Let the protagonist tell Hitler... Otherwise, no one would believe it. "Super secrets" are epoch-making products. Telling people in World War II that there are computers and machines that can automatically decode, can they believe it? If they believe it, the protagonist will definitely be regarded as a spy or an alien.

Thank you brothers for your suggestions, and... ask for another monthly ticket! ^_^

It is indeed the smell of oil. Qin Chuan was in a hurry to get on the plane and rush here, so he didn't have time to take care of it.

"I think you must be the 'legendary sergeant'!" Hitler asked with a smile.

"Yes, Mr. Fuhrer!" Qin Chuan stepped forward to answer.

"I've heard of you, Captain!" Hitler said, "You are excellent, I am proud of you, the Empire is proud of you, please believe that everything you do is valuable. Hundreds of years later, everyone will remember our names, remember those of us who worked hard and dedicated to the strength of the Empire!"

"Yes, Mr. Fuhrer!" Qin Chuan replied, "I am honored!"

Qin Chuan had to admit that Hitler's words were very inflammatory. If he was just an ordinary soldier, he would be excited by his words.

This is somewhat similar to Rommel. Rommel's style is also harsh on officers but very friendly to soldiers.

This is actually in line with the principles of management. Being friendly to soldiers can mobilize their enthusiasm and get their support, which is soft; being harsh on officers can use them to grasp the army, which is hard.

That is, both soft and hard, mobilizing enthusiasm while grasping efficiency.

Qin Chuan even suspected that Rommel learned this because he had been with Hitler.

"My general!" Then Hitler turned his eyes to Rommel and said, "I am glad that you brought the captain to me. You let me see the best and bravest fighters in our team, and you are also... Look at you!"

Hitler stood a little further away, posing an admiring attitude, and then waved his fist and said, "Look at you, the perseverance exuding from you, the murderous aura in your eyes, the pride in your temperament... Perfect, it's simply a work of art! We have such excellent generals and soldiers, all enemy generals will be ruthlessly trampled under our feet!"

Qin Chuan didn't know what Rommel thought, and he felt a little goosebumped when he heard these words. But this seems to be Hitler's style, passionate and exaggerated, and very inflammatory. Some people say that if Hitler's hands were tied, he wouldn't know how to speak.

"Your Excellency, Führer!" Rommel said, "This is just one of the reasons why I brought the captain to see you!"

Hitler nodded, then walked back to his desk and sat back in his chair, put his hands on the table, and asked, "Tell me, my general, do you want me to send more reinforcements to North Africa? In fact, you don't have to worry, I have been doing this as long as there is any possibility!"

Hitler thought that Rommel was asking for reinforcements based on the advantage of the newly discovered oil.

"No, Your Excellency, Führer!" Rommel said, "I came here to hope that you would listen to what the captain said, or more precisely, the captain's strategic estimate of the British. Moreover, I have to remind you, Your Excellency, Führer, that the captain's strategic estimate was made two weeks ago!"

Hitler turned his head to Qin Chuan in confusion, and then quickly and directly made a gesture of invitation, and even nodded slightly politely when making this gesture.

Qin Chuan looked at Rommel in some confusion.

"I mean what you said at the meeting two weeks ago!" Rommel prompted.

"Oh!" Qin Chuan finally understood that he was distracted because he saw Hitler.

"It's like this, Mr. Fuhrer!" Qin Chuan stepped forward and said, "Two weeks ago, the British bombed Sicily, and everyone believed that the British would land in Sicily. But... when we entered the meeting to discuss the matter, all officers, including General Rommel, thought that the British bombing of Sicily was just a cover-up, and their real target was probably Greece."

Hitler nodded with satisfaction, which was consistent with the intelligence he had received, proving that his officers and intelligence units were excellent.

But Qin Chuan's next words made his smile slowly stiffen.

"But I don't think so!" Qin Chuan continued, "I think this is exactly what the British want. They deliberately let everyone think that their target is Sicily, and they do it very obviously, which will make us suspicious. Then... the British will deliberately reveal some intelligence, which will make us confirm this. But... the British target is always Sicily!"

The smile on Hitler's face disappeared, and several different expressions flashed in his eyes in an instant, doubt, anger, inferiority... but it was only a flash.

Doubt because he still had doubts about this matter.

Angry because he thought he was a military genius and everything in the world was under his control, but now he found that he might have been fooled by the British.

The inferiority complex was because he had made a fool of himself in front of Rommel and even a captain.

Hitler looked at Qin Chuan, then at Rommel, and asked: "You mean, this is the strategic estimate you made in two weeks?"

"Yes!" Rommel replied: "Your Excellency, so I have been waiting!"

"Waiting for what?" Hitler asked.

"Waiting for the British to reveal the intelligence to us!" Rommel said: "But what I didn't expect was that the British did not reveal the intelligence to us, but to the Supreme Command! All this has happened, right?"

Hitler was stunned for a while, then "jumped" and stood up from the chair, walking back and forth in front of the full glass window with his hands behind his back. Outside was the beautiful scenery of the Upper Salzburg Mountain, and at this time Hitler was like an anxious old man.

After walking for a while, Hitler suddenly stopped and asked Rommel: "Do you have evidence to prove all this?"

"No, we don't!" Rommel replied: "But we have long guessed that the British would do this, isn't that enough?"

"No, of course it's not enough!" Hitler waved his hand and replied: "There is still a possibility that your estimate coincides with the truth, do you understand what I mean?"

Qin Chuan certainly understood that what Hitler meant was... Qin Chuan and others' estimate was wrong, but the process happened by chance.

In a way, what Hitler said was still right, because everything is about evidence, and there is a lot of evidence to support the Allied landing in Greece, and even a complete chain of evidence can be formed, in which every detail has been carefully verified by German spies or intelligence personnel, and the support for the landing in Sicily... is just an estimate or guess by Rommel and Qin Chuan!
