Looking at the German infantry outside the window squatting on the ground smoking, picking up firewood everywhere to cook food, a decent man in a suit frowned. He looked at the uninvited guests passing by the town through the gap through the thick curtains, and felt indescribable in his heart.

These German soldiers carrying guns were subject to orders. They did not easily disturb the lives of the locals. They just passed by in a hurry. Even if they stopped, they would just leave after a meal. Because of this, the locals did not regard these soldiers from Germany as outsiders, and some even sold cigarettes and alcohol to these enemies who came from afar.

What group of German soldiers passing by the door today? At the beginning, they were armored scouts sitting on armored vehicles. Those people passed by very fast and were very cautious. Then German tanks rumbled across the town's road, and German grenadiers were also filled with guns.

Then there were the mechanized infantry riding tall horses, riding in various cars, and the trucks were dragging artillery of various calibers, including 75mm field guns and 105mm cannons. Then there were ordinary German infantry who were struggling desperately with two legs. They were not fast and would stay in the town for a meal before leaving.

The man put down the curtains in his hand and walked back to his room. He re-checked the doors and windows so that when an outsider wanted to enter the room, he could help him delay time. Then he returned to his second floor, and just observed the Germans' rooms, and pulled out a small and exquisite radio station from a secret compartment behind the table.

He can be said to be a very successful businessman in the local area, and owns his own shop. In the eyes of his neighbors, he is a kind and good gentleman. Sometimes he would sit on the only street in the town and throw some candy to passers-by.

However, his true identity is a grassroots spy trained by the United States. He has been lurking for a long time recently to monitor whether Italy can meet the basic requirements expected by the United States on the issue of leaving the Axis powers.

He thought about it for a moment and sent a telegram out. The content was very simple: "Captain Germany drove straight in!" The person who sent the telegram the value of ∞↑style_txt; he himself didn't know how big it was, but he was only responsible for transmitting what he saw to the intelligence stations in the distance, and was not responsible for analyzing the meaning of the intelligence representative. This was his job, an important job that had been assigned several years ago.

The deployment and use of spies is a long-term job. Akado did more than ten years ago, just to expand the work that major countries are doing. In fact, all countries have old spies hidden in the other side's camp. Sometimes they lurk for decades and will never be used once until they die. Such old spies are often very innocent in their identities and powerful when used.

After sending the telegram, he carefully put the telegram machine in his hand and stuffed it into the secret lattice behind the table. Then he walked back to the window and looked at the German infantry outside the yard with his expressionless eyes.

Several carriages dragging 75mm caliber infantry artillery passed by the soldiers. The artillerymen sitting on the carriage leaned against the ammunition box and swayed slightly as the carriage swayed. They rushed to the real front line, so they didn't even stop and rest, so they passed through the town and advanced toward a farther and further south.

The man gestured a cross on his chest with his hand, and then murmured his thoughts in his heart: "Omnipotent Lord, I hope you can bless America and defeat such a powerful enemy! Amen."

...

At the same time, in the US intelligence building far away from the other side of the ocean, more than a dozen telegraph machines received telegrams from various regions. It was obvious that the United States deployed in Italy not only one spy. These lurking intelligence personnel finally sent back crucial news when the United States needed them the most.

"Sir! The news came from the intelligence station No. 4. The Germans occupied the city of Milan! No large-scale battle broke out!" An officer in charge of translating the code stood behind the head of the intelligence department, stood attentively and saluted loudly.

Another officer ran over in a hurry and handed another document to the frowning intelligence officer, and then reported the news he received in anger: "The information came from the intelligence station No. 6, and he saw a large number of German troops passing through his area."

"How is the intelligence station No. 9? Is there any news? I need exact news, where did the German army advance and where is their armored troops?" The intelligence manager threw the telegram in his hand on the table, then raised his head and looked at the huge map opposite the group of women's officers were constantly modifying.

There are more and more places where the German team is found. Obviously, this is not the situation that the Allies hope to see. What Mussolini had promised was also the battle for the border defense that the Allies hope to see. On the contrary, the German army advanced straight in and did not really exchange fire with the Italian army.

"This is not the speed of advancement in combat! This is faster than a force's journey! I need to confirm whether there are troops in Italy that resist the German army, and whether Mussolini can still control the situation!" The intelligence supervisor gave an angry order to let all the intelligence stations take action and thoroughly find out in the shortest time whether Italy really broke with the Axis powers, or was it just a huge trap that Germany and Italy dug for the Allies.

A few hours ago, the secret diplomatic mission in Rome, Italy sent back the last telegram, claiming that it was being attacked by German special forces, and then there was no news. Losing the intelligence station closest to Mussolini, the Americans' control of the entire Italian situation began to become chaotic.

They don’t know whether Italy will continue to cooperate, whether Mussolini’s decision to leave the Axis powers is a trap to attract the United States to fall into the trap, or a second battlefield that has been really opened up.

You should know that all the basis of the American raid was based on the premise of Italy's rebellion. After arriving in Italy, local troops must be supported by the local forces and the cooperation and support of the locals, so that this force can play its due role. If the Italian walls are cleared, the Americans will not be able to rely on tens of thousands of people to fight a landing war in the hinterland of the Axis powers, that would be really crazy.

So, what is Italy's attitude? This is really very important to the United States. Thinking of this, the intelligence supervisor quickly called the phone directly to the White House: "Check me with Mr. President! I have important things to report to him!"

He waited for a few seconds, and Roosevelt's voice came from the other side of the phone. After all, Roosevelt was also concerned about the situation in Italy, and the decisive victory that could change the battlefield situation at any time. He couldn't help but not care: "I am Roosevelt!"

"Mr. President! The information I just received, Italy's northern defense line collapsed instantly, and the German army had already rushed in..." The intelligence department's director thought about the wording, and then spoke out the worst situation at present: "The situation there is very chaotic now, and we cannot even be sure whether Italy is fighting back or surrendering."

"..." President Roosevelt was silent for a while before asking: "I don't care about what Italy is like now. I ask you the question, please answer truthfully... From the existing intelligence analysis, how likely do you think the German army has grasped Italy's intelligence that has been separated from the Axis powers in advance?"

"Mr. President! From the information we have at present, the possibility of the German army knowing the news in advance is at least not less than 90%!" The other party's answer was particularly straightforward, which also confirmed Roosevelt's concerns from one aspect. Since the German army could enter Italy so neatly and say that they did not prepare in advance, that would be a joke.

President Roosevelt closed his eyes, stretched out his hand and rubbed his nose, as if thinking about an important decision. Since the intelligence department had almost confirmed that the Germans had prepared in advance, the entire Italian plan became no longer feasible. Because all this plan was based on German carelessness.

In fact, now thinking about it now, it would be a bit self-deception to believe that the intelligence confidentiality work of Italy and the Allies can be hidden from the Germans. If the United States hadn't really found a means to attack Germany, and if the benefits of the entire plan were not enough to change the entire situation of the war, the US intelligence department would not have found that everything seemed to have almost fallen into the trap of the Germans in the last second.

"I think two days ago, our intelligence personnel discovered that the German fleet that was out for training in William's military port did not return to the port on time, so this intelligence should be true." Roosevelt suddenly asked.

"Yes, I think the German fleet should have been ambushed near Gibraltar, waiting for us to take the bait." The US intelligence official said helplessly. Italy's performance was too abnormal and disappointed the Americans. Even if it luckily broke through Gibraltar and waited for the Americans, it would be an Axis power Italy, which had to land in order to fight.

"Then! Copy all the information obtained by the intelligence department to the Navy and the Army..." Roosevelt sighed and ordered: "Call our fleet back, and cancel the action plan." Mobile phone users please visit http://m.piaotian.net
