Chapter 973 Strategic Deception
"Crossing the sky, creating something out of nothing?"

Dai Chunfeng has been in charge of the Secret Service and the Military Command for so long, so it's not for nothing. He heard these eight words and immediately guessed Zuo Zhong's plan, which was to send false information to the Japanese or the Red Russians.

For example, it was revealed to the Japanese that the Red Russians wanted to avenge their shame and gathered a large army to attack the pseudo-mite. Another example was revealed to the Red Russians that the Japanese wanted to avenge Zhang Gufeng and planned to occupy Monti.

But the other party is not an idiot┴, and will not trust information obtained by non-national intelligence systems, especially military intelligence.

And unlike other intelligence, large-scale military mobilization is easy to distinguish between true and false. Even if they fabricate military operations out of thin air, it will be useless if the Japanese and Red Russian troops do not cooperate.

He walked around the room with his hands behind his back, then turned around and asked: "Shen Mo, to be more specific, it is related to the entrustment of the commissioner and the situation in East Asia, we have to think of a perfect plan.

According to what you said, the Red Russia and Japan made up their minds to keep the scale of the war within a small area, and unilaterally releasing false information is meaningless. Do you have any other ideas? "

Dai Chunfeng threw out the question in a deep voice, wanting to hear Zuo Zhong's explanation. He knew that his student was not a person who talked about it, so there must be a way to deceive Japan and Russia.

Zuo Zhong turned slightly towards Lao Dai, and lowered his head: "Teacher, the students think that the intelligence agency is not only an executive agency, but also occasionally uses strategic thinking to solve problems.

The so-called strategic deception in Western intelligence studies is representative. The so-called strategic deception refers to deceiving and paralyzing opponents through political, diplomatic, military, economic, intelligence and other means.

This is not a single incident, but a complete set of intelligence operations to achieve strategic goals. The entire process is interlocking and indispensable, requiring the help and cooperation of many departments.

It can not only hide the real purpose of one's own side, but also prompt the opponent to make a wrong judgment, so as to fully gain the strategic initiative. In fact, this has long been discussed in ancient Chinese books. "

Speaking of this, Zuo Zhong stopped talking, leaving time for Teacher Cheap to think, as a subordinate, it's not a good thing to finish everything, so how can it show the superior┴'s foresight.

Dai Chunfeng's heart moved, and he thought of something instantly, and then he clapped his hands suddenly: "Shen Mo, you are talking about Jiang Gan stealing books, right, this is indeed a classic example of strategic deception."

"Yes, teacher, you really are quick and quick, and the students admire you." Zuo Zhong showed admiration, and looked at Lao Dai with admiration in his eyes, and he brought his acting skills to the extreme.

In fact, those who Dai Chunfeng said about Jiang Gan’s stealing of books, who have read the books for a few days, or even those who have never read the books, know that the content of the story is true and false, and it is indeed very representative.

During the Battle of Chibi, Jiang Gan was ordered by Cao Cao to persuade Zhou Yu, a general of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, to surrender. Zhou Yu pretended to be drunk and let Jiang Gan read the fake letter.

Cao Cao was really fooled and beheaded Cai Hao and Zhang Yun. When his subordinates sent Cai and Zhang's heads, Cao Cao realized it. Unfortunately, it was too late to regret, so he had to replace two other naval commanders.

As a result, everyone knows that Cao Jun suffered a crushing defeat in the Battle of Chibi. Cao Cao laughed out Zhao Zilong with a smile, Zhang Yide with a second smile, and Guan Yunchang with a third smile. He lost the possibility of unifying the Han Dynasty in a short time.

Both Sun and Liu took advantage of this victory to develop and strengthen their respective forces. After Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou from Sun Quan, his strength grew rapidly.

It can be seen that strategic deception has existed since ancient times, and it is a common way for countries to gain strategic advantages in fierce international competition. Once successful, it will bring huge benefits to the perpetrators.
So what should be done to successfully implement strategic deception, to make the enemy believe it is true, or to make the enemy confused about the truth and not dare to act rashly?

The focus is on the manipulation of intelligence.

The intelligence here includes stolen or intercepted electronic and text information, behavior patterns that can reveal important information, and highly confidential plans or military operations.

A complete strategic deception operation requires many auxiliary processes, and it needs to cooperate with other related strategic operations to carry out meticulous matching of information, and even the release of alternate information.

With the intelligence and action capabilities of the military command, it is not difficult to forge the corresponding intelligence. The difficult thing is how to carry out strategic deception step by step. Dai Chunfeng thinks that Zuo Zhong should have a complete plan.

Realizing that this is feasible, Lao Dai, who was photographed with a horse, was too late to be happy, and asked seriously: "To realize the strategic deception you mentioned, how much manpower and material resources are needed, and how long will it take to complete?"

Zuo Zhong did not hesitate, and immediately stated the requirements that he had thought of long ago: "Students need 20 staff officers with more than ten years of military and actual combat experience, and it is best to have a background in studying in Japan and Germany.

We want to mislead the Red Russians and Japanese. The intelligence and details involved in the operation must be true, even more true than the truth, otherwise the intelligence and decision-making organs of the other party will not believe it.

This requires the personnel involved in the operation to be familiar with the military theories, military units, ways of thinking of the two countries, the habits of using words and sentences in official documents, titles, and even map operations and other skills.

The reason why they did not look for international students from the Red Russian Military Academy was because of their ability to infiltrate with dissidents. To be on the safe side, the German ┴ military academy students with similar military theories to the Red Russian Academy were a good substitute.

As for the completion time, it will not be too short. This is a protracted battle. What we want to deceive are the smartest people in these two countries. We need to mislead each other a little bit, and haste makes waste. "

Germany and Red Russia have similar military theories. This is not nonsense by Zuo Zhong.

The Paris Peace Conference held in 1919 marked the final end of the European War. In addition to ceding its land, abandoning overseas colonies, and bearing huge indemnities, Germany was also severely restricted in terms of military affairs.

The army cannot exceed 10 people, and the number of officers cannot exceed 1.5. The German General Staff and military academies are disbanded, the compulsory military service system is abolished, and Germany is prohibited from possessing new weapons such as tanks, aircraft, heavy artillery, poison gas, and submarines.

These clauses not only angered the German military officers and the public, but also made Germany find that its remaining armed forces were not only unable to deal with domestic problems, but also found it difficult to protect itself in the face of emerging countries such as Poland.

Compared with humiliating Germany, the Allied Powers suppressed and isolated Red Russia more directly. In addition to excluding the other party from the Versailles system, the United Kingdom and the United States also formed a coalition to intervene in the Red and White War.

Concerned about the deterioration of the international situation and their own security, Germany and Russia gave up their ideological differences and hostility and began to explore contacts.

At the end of 1919, the two sides began to negotiate military cooperation on the issue of repatriating prisoners of war.

The Russian-Polish War that broke out in 1920-21 and the French takeover of the German Ruhr area for war reparations further stimulated the desire of Russia and Germany to rearm themselves and pushed the military cooperation between the two sides onto the fast track.

The Berlin Station of the Military Command learned from secret channels that in 1922, Russia and Germany formally signed the Treaty of Rapallo, which marked the normalization of relations between the two countries, and included secret military supplementary clauses.

Later, with the establishment of Weimar and the change of high-level personnel in Red Russia, Germany re-established military academies, and the military cooperation between Russia and Germany entered a new period.

Especially with the recovery of the German economy and the implementation of the first five-year plan of the Red Russia, the two sides started deeper cooperation in personnel training, industrial facilities and military theory.

While Red Russia is rapidly absorbing German military technology, techniques and tactics, Germany is also constantly sending military personnel to Red Russia to conduct exercises and receive modern military knowledge under the Red Russian military system.

Beginning in 1925, the Soviet Union and Germany began to exchange officers for exchange on a regular basis. In particular, the Red Russia systematically selected officers with potential to go to German military academies for training.

Therefore, Germany is very familiar with the Red Russian military ideology and system, and the students in German military academies also know the Red Russian army very well. It is very appropriate to use them to replace the Red Russian students.

"Well, yes, the purity of personnel is indeed the first thing."

Dai Chunfeng agreed to Zuo Zhong's request with a deep sigh. Since the establishment of the Republic of China, military students have been sent abroad, and there are many people who go to various countries at their own expense to study military affairs.

Although Zuo Zhong's selection criteria were strict and actual combat experience was required, it was not difficult to gather 20 people. Who made the Republic of China lack everything these years, except war.

Immediately, Lao Dai sat back on the chair, stretched his arms across the table, and promised boldly: "What else is needed, just tell me, this operation is the highest priority, and you don't need to worry about logistical support."

"Thank you teacher."

Zuo Zhong bowed slightly, and continued with the words just now: "If possible, it is best to find two more senior officers with experience in commanding large corps, this is very important.

Students also need a group of radio operators who are familiar with the telegraph business of the Red Russian and Japanese military, as well as two registered Japanese and Red Russian radio stations for use during missions.

In addition, can we coordinate a few underground party defectors who have lived in Red Russia for a long time? If we want to perfectly forge information on Red Russia, we cannot do without these people.

Their surveillance work is entrusted to Wu Jingzhong, the deputy director of the first department. Wu Jingzhong is an old man in the investigation department of Changcheng and a high-achieving student at Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow, so he is trustworthy.

Finally, please ask the teacher to coordinate a confidential office location. During the task period, everyone including me will be kept in a confidential isolation┴. Without your personal order, no one is allowed to leave. "

Dai Chunfeng didn't even think about it, and waved his hand: "Okay, I will report to the committee immediately, the commander is easy to find, and it happens that many senior military officers are going back to the mountain city to recuperate during this time.

The list of eligible staff officers and radio operators will be handed over to you by tonight at the latest. Raising soldiers for a thousand days is a one-time job. The government has been raising them for so many years. It is time for them to contribute.

Anyway, I will negotiate with your old principal on personnel. The central government has done some work over the years, and it is not difficult to pick out a few reliable members of the in situ┴down party.

As for the office location, I will give it to you as soon as possible to ensure that the location is hidden. I will also contact the high-level military and ask them to send an elite force to protect you on the periphery.

Be careful, teacher, I will leave this matter to you. All the insiders and latent personnel of the military command are at your disposal. You must drag the Red Russians and Japanese to the Nomen threshold! "

"Yes!"

Zuo Zhong replied resolutely, and finally got the result he wanted. Thinking of starting a new contest with his old enemy, he couldn't help but look forward to it.
