Redemption of WWII

Reich Security Service, Tuesday, December 22, [-]. 【】

When Müller returned to the Gestapo headquarters, he inadvertently discovered that the guards he was very familiar with on weekdays had turned into unfamiliar faces.Muller hurriedly asked the officer on duty what was going on.The officer on duty told Müller that this was an order from Director Ernst Karlden Bruner, but the director did not tell everyone the specific reason.

The relationship between Ernst Karlden Bruner and Müller has never been very good. This is also because Müller has too much power. On the surface, Müller wants to listen to Ernst Kalden Bruner's command, but in fact On many issues, Ernst Karlden Bruner simply couldn't get involved.It can be said that Ernst Karlden Bruner is very different from the original Reinhard Heydrich.Because Müller has a group of his own confidants in the Gestapo, the combined power of these people made Ernst Karlden Bruner feel very scared.

Müller didn't say anything on the surface, but he was analyzing in his heart what caused Ernst Kaldenbruner to replace the guards. Could it be that he discovered something, no, it's impossible.Muller carefully sorted out his actions during this period, and every time important information was sent out through more than multiple channels.No matter which aspect goes wrong, I will be reported quickly.If something goes wrong, as long as any layer in the middle is cut off, it is impossible for anyone to suspect himself.A month ago, in order to cover their identities, Moscow reluctantly gave up two hundred ordinary agents whose identities had been exposed. Comrades who had a chance to escape were all arrested by the Germans in order to cover themselves.However, Muller didn't feel any distress. On the contrary, he also arrested the peripheral intelligence agents of several organizations. This is the case with intelligence work. From the beginning of this career, it has meant that there is no return. Sometimes It will also be discarded as an abandoned child.Fortunately, he is a relatively important pawn, and Moscow will do everything possible to cover his identity.

Muller carefully thought about the situation in this period, and felt that it was impossible for him to be exposed. Although Shu Lunbao had investigated him, Mueller was not very afraid.Because Müller knew that he had the trust of Hitler, the head of state, and these trusts were bought at the cost of thousands of Jewish lives, and Moscow also gave positive affirmation to his practice of gaining Hitler's trust by killing Jews.As long as he has no direct evidence in Schulenburg's hands, Müller doesn't have to worry about being exposed.

But there is one thing that Müller feels very inconvenient, because the members of the "Red Choir" collective were arrested, and there was no channel for him to pass information to Moscow.Now Müller has only one means left, and that is to send a report to Moscow through the Gestapo's own radio station.However, this is a method that can only be used when encountering particularly important information that is critical to Moscow's life and death. Doing so may expose one's identity, and Muller decided not to use this method as much as possible.When Germany secretly assembled troops to attack the Soviet Union, Müller did not use this extremely dangerous method to deliver news to Moscow.Because Müller knew very well that after he sent the call from the Gestapo headquarters, it meant that his identity would be exposed, and the next thing he had to face was probably more terrifying than death.

Today is the fourth Tuesday of every month. This day may not be a big deal to ordinary people, but it is a very important day for Muller.Because today Moscow is going to send instructions to itself through the radio station, and this instruction is broadcast to the whole of Europe through a radio station in Poland.This Polish radio station is a radio station under the control of the Polish Gestapo, and its content mainly includes some extreme anti-Semitic remarks, news of the victory of the German army and the like.However, there will be some missing persons announcements on the radio stations between these programs, and Muller mainly listens to the content of these missing persons announcements.

These missing person announcements were broadcast at the initiative of Mueller, and the main purpose was to provide families of soldiers who were separated during the war with a way to find their loved ones.Of course, this column is charged, and this is the only profitable column of the radio station under the control of the Gestapo.

But no one knows except Mueller. In these ordinary missing person announcements, an important message will be broadcast on the fourth Tuesday of every month. Of course, this information is extremely secret. The person with the information is also ignorant.

This is why Shulunbao has been suspicious of Müller but has never been able to get evidence.Because the relationship between Müller and Moscow was only in a one-way state, except for a very few people in Moscow, no one knew that Moscow had such an important pawn beside Hitler.

Müller’s listening to the Gestapo radio station has not been suspected by others at all, and every time Müller will comfortably lean on the leather armchair and close his eyes. In fact, Müller is remembering every number in the missing person notice .Müller was engaged in telecommunications work in the police station in the early years. He has a special feature, that is, other people need a codebook to translate telegrams, but he has never used it, because he has memorized the contents of the codebook long ago. heart.

Müller's memory is quite powerful.In the early years, in order to show his loyalty to Hitler, Müller recited Hitler's book "Mein Kampf" at length and length at the meeting, and thus began to win the attention of the head of state, and then he made rapid progress.

Müller never used paper to write down what was played on the radio, so Müller did not have to use the smell of smoking to disguise the trouble of burning paper.Because Müller knows very well that reducing some steps means reducing the risk of leakage.It's not that Müller is afraid of death, it's because Müller knows it's not the time yet.

The instruction Müller received today is to "find out whether Germany and the United Kingdom and the United States have reached any agreement in private. The United States has suddenly stopped aiding me. It is of great importance. It is urgent, urgent, urgent."

Müller couldn't help being startled when he heard the three urgent words, and Müller thought to himself, "I have never seen an instruction with such an urgent word, which shows that this matter is extremely important to Moscow, and the results must be investigated and dealt with quickly. But none of the big guys in Germany has had contact with countries such as Britain and the United States. Now the contact with Britain and the United States is mainly through Switzerland, but there are also many subordinates in Switzerland. If there are any rumors, they should have reported it long ago. gone."

Just as Müller was lost in thought, the phone on the desk rang. Müller picked up the phone and said lazily, "Hi, I'm Müller."

"General, the captains of the various action teams are already waiting outside the door to report the situation to you. Do you want to see them now?"

Muller hurriedly turned off the radio, and then said into the microphone, "Very well, let them come in one by one. I will listen to everyone's report individually."

Regarding Moscow's instructions, Müller feels that there will be no progress for the time being. It is better to focus on figuring out the "roundworm" plan that Hitler made today. From the perspective of Hitler's importance, this matter is estimated to be Extremely important.

The door of the office opened quickly, and Müller's confidant, SS Assault Battalion Captain Herdorff, came in from the door.After passing the ceremony to Müller, Herdorf began to report to Müller about today's work.

The team in charge of Herdorf is monitoring and protecting Reich Marshal Goering today. Herdorf heard with his own ears that Goering instructed the staff of the Air Force Command to formulate a plan for launching a large-scale offensive on the Russian front in the near future.

"Attack?" Müller was a little surprised when he heard Herdorf's report.

"Yes, General, that is indeed the case. Field Marshal Goering indeed said so when he assigned the task."

"Okay, I see." Müller was no longer interested in Herdorf's subsequent report, because he had already got what he wanted most.As for what Goering ate, what he drank, what time he went to bed, Müller was not interested.

Soon Herdorf finished his report and turned to leave Müller's office.Then the No. 2 SS officer entered Müller's office again and began to report the situation.

To cut it short, when all the personnel reported the situation and left Mueller's office, it was already dark.Muller gradually pieced together the general outline of the 'Ascaris' plan in his own brain through what everyone reported.It can be said that Germany is going to launch an offensive with all its strength this time, and basically all combat troops on the Eastern Front are included in this plan.The Luftwaffe even mobilized 2500 bombers and fighter jets from France, Belgium, Italy, and the Dihai region to join this offensive plan. With the addition of the original [-] aircraft on the Eastern Front, Germany will have a decisive victory in Russia. Air advantage.

But Müller still doesn't understand why Hitler did this. Russia is now in the midst of a severe winter of ice and snow, and launching an attack in this season is suspected to be courting death.Although Germany has air superiority, what really depends on victory is the situation of the ground forces.Besides, the transportation of various materials will become extremely difficult in winter. Without sufficient supplies, no matter how many planes there are, it is impossible to win.

This in the end is why?Müller couldn't help thinking hard, it's hard that Hitler was really crazy.Müller wrote a big question mark on a blank sheet of paper.

In the house not far from the Gestapo, Liu Qi and Shu Lunbao patiently listened to the movement in Müller's office.Liu Qi smiled and said to Shu Lunbao, "Yes, the big fish has already smelled the scent of the bait. It is estimated that it is not far from being hooked."

Shu Lunbao was not in such a good mood as Liu Qi, and said with a wry smile, "Andrei, you know how to play too much. If Muller doesn't take the bait, are we really going to send our troops to die?" .”

"What are you afraid of? Even if Müller doesn't take the bait, the commanders of the frontline troops are all lunatics. I don't believe they will carry out orders honestly." Liu Qi said nonchalantly.

"Ah..." Shulunbao sighed, and then said, "Andrei, I don't understand now more and more. Does Zhukov really need us to spend so much trouble?"

"You don't understand, he is really worth it, very worth it. If I had to choose between the five army divisions and Zhukov, I would choose Zhukov without hesitation..."
