Chapter 724 What should the head of state do next?
"Your intelligence agency is really sure that the Soviet army is now preparing to launch the Battle of Leningrad Novgorod?"
When Manstein came to his temporary front command, Manstein said first to Himmler.
Himmler personally led a group of Gestapo and SS spies to Damanstein's troops last night. Of course, he came in a hurry after being ordered by Chen Yanlong to temporarily come to the Eastern Front for the order to infiltrate the Soviet front.
"Why am I lying to you? This is the intelligence obtained by the head of state's intelligence agency and my intelligence agency. As for whether you believe it or not, it will be your favorite!"
"If the Head of State had not asked me to come here to direct the intelligence infiltration work, how could I suddenly arrive here secretly?"
"In short, the information the head of state asked me to give you is that the Soviet army is in the battle of Leningrad Novgorod this time, which is aimed at Model's "Northern" Army Group (16th and 18th Army), and intends to wipe them out completely in the Leningrad area, thereby solving the blockade of Leningrad, which besieged the Soviet army, or snatch back Leningrad from us and the Baltic coastal areas!"
"Estonia, especially the three Baltic countries in the south, Latvia and Lithuania, they want to get involved even more!"
Himmler said unhappily after hearing this.
Because he came from Berlin, Germany, and ran over without even having breakfast and lunch.
Although Chen Yanlong gave the C-5 Galaxy transport plane to transport him over, he had not had much rest because he had been flipping through all the intelligence agencies that his intelligence organization detected.
Moreover, before receiving Chen Yanlong's order, he was dealing with spies and agents from intelligence agencies in Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union and other countries lurking in Germany, France, Italy and other places.
However, Chen Yanlong handed over the intelligence work of those countries to Heinrich Muller, Director of the Central Security Department 4, Director of the Third Orendorf, Stemley, Sandberger, Regional Commander of the SS and Lieutenant General of the Police, Artur Naibi, Chief of the Criminal Police of the 5th Division, Chief of the SS Brigade and Major General of the Police, Walter Schrenberg, Director of the Imperial Security Department of the 6th Division (Foreign); Chief of the SS Brigade and Major General of the Police, Otto Orendorf, Director of the Imperial Security Department of the 3rd Division (Domestic); Deputy Commander-in-Chief and General of the Police, Director of the Imperial Central Security Bureau Ernst Caldenbronner, William Hotel and other important officers of the Gestapo, so Himmler was able to leave.
Although half of the British, American and Soviet spies in Germany, France, Italy and other places were cleaned up by Chen Yanlong; there were still many ordinary spies and some elite spies not arrested, so if there were no certain elite spies who stayed in Germany to confront the collection and infiltration of British, American and Soviet spies, Himmler would not be able to come to the Eastern Front.
Not to mention the German intelligence team temporarily commanding here to carry out anti-infiltration and anti-intelligence work, and penetrate deep into the Soviet army, especially the famous Soviet KGB intelligence agency.
"But what effect will the attack we are about to launch today have on the Soviet army?"
"Today's combat orders were not deployed and planned by me, but were made by the Head of State, so I can't figure it out!"
After hearing this, Manstein frowned and said in confusion.
"I have just mentioned the purpose of the Battle of Leningrad Novgorod that the Soviet army is now preparing to launch; and the head of state lets you do now is to get some elite troops from you and Model's troops to attack Kharkov and catch the Soviet army off guard, and disrupt their operations in the Battle of Leningrad Novgorod!"
"The areas around Leningrad and the Baltic Sea must not be snatched back by the Soviet army!"
"And the head of state has negotiated with all our servants and the French army in this battle. Their army must also participate and reach the front line to resist the Soviet army's attack on Leningrad and the Baltic Sea!"
Himmler said.
"Since the head of state has arranged it, let's leave it to you to deal with it!"
"I will also think about the combat operations to capture Kharkov!"
"By the way, how are the combat operations of Rommel and Goodrian? Is it still successful?"
"How was Rommel's troops and Dunitz's aircraft carrier fleet fighting in the English Channel? Did they occupy the English Channel Islands where the British troops were stationed?"
Manstein nodded slightly and changed the subject.
"The battle in the English Channel was still good. The troops commanded by Rommel, the Brandenburg amphibious landing forces, and the First Airborne Division also completed the landing operations of the Channel Islands well, and also killed two high-level British officers!"
Himmler agreed.
"Hey! It seems that Rommel and Denitz can make a lot of contributions this time, so what will the head of state do next?"
"Are you continuing to attack the English Channel and the British mainland? Or are you moving to North Africa? Or are there any abnormal deployment?"
