Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 290: Preparation (continued)

The officer class of the Soviet Red Army has rarely seen active rebellion before. On the territory of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the officers and soldiers of the Red Army have enviable social status and privileges. In particular, the military officer class not only enjoys priority material rations, but also receives generous salaries and social benefits. The corresponding Red Army officers loyal to the Soviet regime that gave them all this is not only due to personal ideals and beliefs, but also to maintain this quality of life and to consider the future of their families and future generations.

So it seems easier to rebel against a Red Army commander than to buy a senior SS officer. (Xu Jun: I wonder if I should change to a dark green uniform...

There is a prerequisite for maintaining this kind of loyalty, that is, this kind of life will continue. The People’s Committee of the Interior also understands this, so they often take sudden actions without the subject’s awareness, and fundamentally eliminate the goal. The possibility of betrayal. When the whole family of the subject is in their hands, then it is up to one's own feelings to make a round and flatten. Even a high-ranking general with outstanding merit will not be able to withstand torture more than a coal miner.

The internal cleansing of the Red Army never talks about evidence or reason. As long as any place is suspected by the personnel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the fate of this soldier is basically doomed. The middle and lower-level officers who fell into the hands of the People's Committee of the Interior this year were lucky enough to be dragged out and shot to death. Those who were unlucky were directly killed in the interrogation room. No one was held accountable afterwards.

The original large-scale purge activities in history have basically ceased in the second half of the 1940s, but because Trotsky is still alive at this moment, and the German intelligence agencies deliberately contributed to the flames, large-scale purge activities began to resurge. , Intensified in the many republics in the western Soviet Union. As long as the Trotskyists in the Soviet Union are not completely wiped out, Stalin will always feel threatened. It can be said that as long as the founder of the Red Army is still there, he will not let Stalin live at ease.

Eye of Odin did not ambush insiders in the Soviet People’s Committee of the Interior before, because the agency’s recruitment conditions are demanding, the interior is often self-cleaning, and the frequency of personnel turnover is quite fast. The reason why they were able to get the list of officers under investigation was purely by chance.

At that time, the General Security Bureau caught a Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs officer who was going to return to Moscow through Berlin after completing an overseas mission. The German easily opened the mouth of the major national security commander. He not only confessed Everything he knew even actively asked to work for the German intelligence agency.

The Eye of Odin thought it was a trap at first, and this was a double agent who wanted to surrender, because they rarely encountered such a softie in their impression. In the end, General Weierle personally made the decision. Anyway, he has already obtained the confession that the empire wants. It might be really useful to keep this person. So after giving the other party a liaison signal, before the Soviet General Security Administration noticed the abnormality, the major was released.

Not long after the time had passed, the Eye of Odin tentatively contacted the major, only to find that the other party actually collected the previously agreed information.

Such an efficient insider is really rare. Of course, this major has received special attention and favor from the Eye of Odin. The Imperial Intelligence Service opened a secret account for him in Switzerland, and gave him the rank of a major SS. His organization is directly under the management of the headquarters, and all the information related to him is sealed. Only the chief officer of the Imperial Intelligence Service and Only the head of the empire is eligible for inspection.

In fact, Xu Jun has not seen this person's file until now, only knows that there is such a spy, codenamed "Black Knight".

However, this intelligence source also has its limitations, that is, it can only obtain intelligence within the Soviet national security system. As for the Red Army deployment, command staffing, equipment quantity and performance and other secrets required by the German army, this It is difficult to have access to the current position.

Of course, you can force the other party to do it, but it will definitely increase the risk of exposure. This kind of behavior similar to killing chickens and getting eggs is very stupid. Of course, the Eye of Odin will not do it like this.

The General Intelligence Agency obtained sporadic internal investigation reports from the Black Knights, and then selected suitable candidates from them, and then sent intelligence personnel to counter the target.

At present, it seems that this work is proceeding quite smoothly. It shows from the side that the renewed purge has indeed caused chaos in the Soviet defense system. Instead of trying to smuggle a group of people across the Soviet border six months ago, it is almost Fantastic Nights.

Of these rescued Red Army officers, many served in the border guards. These officers provided a large amount of information in the Red Army border patrol field, which reduced many operational aspects for future cross-border operations. Difficulty.

These officers also provided a lot of important military intelligence to Germany, the most valuable is all kinds of military maps~IndoMTL.com~Almost everyone brought more than one set of maps, and even only distributed them. The advanced version for the intermediate and high-level commanders of the Soviet Red Army was impossible to obtain in the past by conventional espionage.

After comparing these maps in detail, there was a cold sweat from the command department's combat bureau, because they discovered that the Soviet map used to formulate the battle plan was actually seriously lagging behind, and most of the details were from the Tsarist era. Data, and in reality has already changed its appearance.

The Soviet Union has completed its second five-year plan this year, and the domestic road traffic and urban construction have made preliminary results. Although rural roads are still incurable garbage, many have been built for military use. These high-standard highways are not shown on German military maps at all. At the same time, there are data on various bridges and transportation hubs. These are the parameters that Germany currently needs urgently.

The arrival of these Red Army officers also gave the German army a chance to fully understand the opponent. Although there was a honeymoon period between the Soviet Union and Germany, the two sides had quite extensive military exchanges. The German High Command always thought that they knew the Red Army very well, but now it’s not like that at all. Obviously, the Soviet Union has concealed a lot of important information from the German side in its exchanges. Of course, Germany does not necessarily know much about such matters. To be honest, it is indeed close to the facts to describe this relationship as having a ghost.

In history, the Germans didn't know what kind of difficult opponents they were going to face before they went to war. It is understandable that the Eastern Front will eventually fight like that. Xu Jun certainly wouldn't let this happen again, but if he didn't want to die on a sofa with PPK in his mouth, there would be little time for the Empire to prepare.

PS: There is something at home today, and the number of words is a little bit short. I will make up tomorrow.
