Volume 5: Battle of Britain Chapter 86: Influence

.Damn, the number of chapters in the previous chapter is wrong, and the content is correct.

text:

Recently, the intelligence departments of the Third Reich of Germany have been very active. Under the direct leadership of Minister of Security Heidrich, whether it is the Intelligence Agency of the National Defense Forces system or the Security Department of the SS, foreigners and nationalities have been arrested everywhere. In just three days, more than 500 people were arrested in various parts of Germany, and some people who resisted during the arrest were shot dead.

The large-scale arrests actually did not affect people's livelihood much. The lives of ordinary people are still in order. Most people even learned that something was going on at the end of the arrest work.

The Propaganda Department did not know what the reason was, and after the arrest was completed, it carried out a lot of publicity. Goebbels determined that the head of state agreed and activated the mouthpiece in newspapers, radio, and even propaganda films. The propaganda included the damage caused by enemy agents (spy) to Germany, which caused Germany to suffer, and focused on what consequences would have occurred if the arrest was not carried out.

Goebbels cleverly linked intelligence operations to people's livelihood and gave a lot of examples. For example, agents of a certain country destroyed factories in a certain place, causing casualties in local people, how many people were unemployed after the factory was destroyed; hostile agents released poison in a certain place, causing many women and children to lose their lives; sabotagers placed bombs on tracks in a certain place, and how many people died in an accident on a civilian train...

A war of mouthpieces that was almost like a storm, the ignorant German people and even the people of the Axis allies had a general understanding of the information they could know. They almost expressed their appreciation and support for this action from various channels according to Goebbels' wishes, and were also more hostile to the Allies.

It can be said that this time the cooperation between the intelligence department and the propaganda department was almost perfect. The intelligence department changed the public's resistance and resentment towards them. The propaganda department repeatedly increased its influence, making the main leaders of the two departments laughed from ear to ear.

After publicity, the arrests had a significant impact on all walks of life, no less than an earthquake. The people were concerned about the destruction of the enemy's countries and their own protection work, but governments of various countries were speculating about what had happened to make the Germans so big. Most of them believed that the Battle of Britain, which had been delayed for several months, was imminent.

Indeed, since the fall of France, Germany has not made much move for more than two months. Apart from the battles over the English Channel and the small fights of the naval fleet, a large number of continental troops have to stay at their respective garrisons for training and repair.

At first, the Allies speculated that the Axis powers would launch an offensive immediately after they assembled, but such a thing did not happen. Sometimes things were more heartbreaking than after they were launched. At least nearly one million troops stationed opposite the UK made the British tremble.

When the British learned that the Third German Empire had a big fight on the intelligence front, they exclaimed: "The Germans are going to do it!" After being shocked, they were relieved. After all, things should have been a result. They had enough of the days of fear.

Compared with the tensions of ordinary people, the allied government authorities must be very worried.

There was no sign of this action of the Third German Empire in advance. Without strengthening prevention and communication, a large number of agents from the intelligence departments of the Allied countries lost contact with the spies. In the atmosphere under special circumstances, information could not be obtained, so it was impossible to make a well-founded judgment on the next actions of the Third German Empire.

When the royal family summoned, Churchill said with a blue face: "Our most complacent advantage is almost completely lost. In this case, the remaining agents can only lurk. We have lost our eyes and ears, and we can only pray that the English Channel will usher in bad weather for several months, or... we will usher in the military boots of the Germanic barbarians and his allies."

Churchill rushed to the parliament after leaving Buckingham Palace. When facing the bombardment of the parliamentarians, he said: "It is useless to be entangled in what has happened. The situation is bad enough. Stop your inaction and mobilize your channels, whether it is the Axis powers or those countries that have not participated in the war, do your best to do it."

Hearing such bad news, countless people murmured with pale faces: "May God bless the Queen and bless the Commonwealth, which is about to usher invasion by the barbarians of the Axis powers!"

I forgot to say that Britain is not in power at present, but... out of habit, they still talk about "God bless the Queen".

The intelligence operation must have affected all aspects. The origins of a large number of arrested personnel are very complicated. The countries where their own personnel were arrested urgently contacted the authorities of the Third Reich of Germany and asked through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs why they arrested their citizens.

The foreign ministries of various countries only got a very vague answer. Most of the allies of the Third Reich of Germany were warned and compensated in some ways and stopped pursuing them. However, Italy was arrested and worried about the arrest of its diplomat.

The Italian head of state Mussolini personally sent a call to the German head of state Kahn von Stark. In the telegram, he congratulated the German allies on their brilliant achievements in military operations. First, he reviewed the history of the German Legion in the Polish battlefield, the French battlefield, the Denmark-Norwegian battlefield, the North African battlefield, the Indonesian battlefield and other aspects and the major achievements. Then, he described how the German and Italian coalition forces should deploy, fight and cooperate in the African battlefield. The key point is that in order to take care of Italy's face, he hopes to release the arrested personnel, and illuminately pointed out that the German Third Reich needed to make some compensation for this unhappiness, so as not to affect the subsequent cooperation.

Regarding benito mussolini, in fact, the Germans did not know him. During the reign of Adolf Hitler, the Germans knew that there was such a person through the special publicity at that time. The reason for the publicity was that Germany was still in the difficult period. At that time, Germany was lonely in the whole world due to the defeat of World War I. Mussolini showed goodwill at that time, and thus had publicity to increase the morale of the people. However, not many people deliberately understood anything at that time. What they needed at that time was bread. People only roughly knew about Mussolini was born in a blacksmith family in Fly on July 29, 1883.

Later, Germany's livelihood was restored, and Germany's cooperation with Italy was strengthened. Some people deliberately learned about the "friend" Adolf Hitler called it, and knew that Mussolini was a journalist and a member of the Socialist Party in his early years. After the outbreak of World War I, he was expelled from the Socialist Party for inciting Italy to participate in the war. He joined the army in 1915. In March 1919, he initiated the establishment of the "Fighting Fascist" organization in Milan.

After understanding it, the Germans felt astonishing, and it turned out that the experience of that potential ally was so rich...

In 1921, the organization was renamed the "Italian National Fascist Party", and Mussolini became the leader of the party. In October 1922, the party's military organization "Blackshirts" was commanded to march into Rome, launching riots and seizing power, and serving as prime minister of the cabinet. In 1928, the parliamentary system was forcibly terminated and the fascist rule was established.

In October 1935, he sent troops to invade Ethiopia. In May 1936, he announced the incorporation of Ethiopia into Italy. In July of the same year, he colluded with Germany to interfere in the Spanish civil war, provided weapons and equipment to the Spanish rebels, helped Francisco Franco to obtain the Spanish regime, and actively cooperated with Nazi Germany led by Adolf Hitler in political and military terms. In October, he formed a Berlin-Roman axis with Germany. In November 1936, he joined the "Anti-XX (Landom) International Agreement.

In April 1939, he invaded Albania. In May 1940, he served as the supreme commander of the wartime command. In the same year, he declared war on Britain and France, sent troops to southern France, and launched an attack on British Somalia, Kenya, Sudan and Egypt, attempting to establish the Mediterranean Empire. In October, he sent troops to invade Greece.

Kahn von Stark was unable to call back personally in a hurry. After a brief explanation, Foreign Minister Joasim von Ribintrop took action, and nearly ten documents under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs cooperated. Some popular screenwriters in Berlin opera houses were fortunate to participate, and a telegram that could almost be called epic was born...

Compared with Mussolini's long and boring writings, the nominal callbacks of the head of Germany were astonishingly rich as the content of the callbacks. The telegrams were not counted (the telegram was calculated by words at that time), from the Holy Roman era, to the Middle Ages, and even the Crusades, modern colonial struggles, the text was full of romance... I tirelessly reviewed the friendship between Germany and Italy, and talked about the ancient Roman era even in 115 years) and apologized. Why? The Romans were harassed by the Germans and almost self-harm...

After the first paragraph of the nominal call for the German head of state, which could be written into a historical book, the beginning of the call for reply, which greatly describes the current cooperation between Germany and Italy, and imagines the future prospects of the two countries.

Well... Anyway, it was a routine matter. The German head of state expressed some complaints about the Italian head of state, saying that Germany's intelligence work has always been very difficult, and some secrets that should not be leaked were betrayed by scums who destroyed the friendship between the two countries, and those scums must be punished as they deserve.

"...In view of the above situation, for our common great cause, the two countries need to understand each other in certain aspects, especially in terms of intelligence and military. It is necessary for the two countries to communicate more closely. Finally, I would like to express my most sincere greetings to you in a literal way! Above: Kahn von Stark, the head of the Third Reich of Germany."
