On the night of the drill, the telegraph lines in Helangyabo and outside were fully occupied by telegraph signals.
What the military attaches and envoys from various countries did not know was that the underwater task force of Helangyabo had already tampered with their telegraph lines, and all the telegrams written in diplomatic codes were sent to the Federal Naval Intelligence Analysis Center.
As early as when the Divine Calculation was first built, Lin Youde established a secret code deciphering team. As a history geek, Lin Youde was well aware of the various jokes about codes in the past time and space. For example, in the early days of World War I, the Russian army did not even have codes, so they used clear codes to send out passwords.
The Germans grasped the situation and used their inferior troops to annihilate the group at Tannenberg. Of course, the commanders of the two Russian armies fought with each other, which was another big reason; another example is that the British deciphered
The message Germany sent to its diplomats revealed that Germany was about to resume unrestricted submarine warfare, which prompted the United States to decide to join the war. The arrival of a large number of American soldiers broke the balance on the European battlefield.
Not to mention World War II.
In short, the party who masters the secret code will take the initiative in the matter.
However, although Lin Youde's secret code team was established early, it did not have a powerful mathematician to lead it: Su Buqing was still babbling, and Hua Luogeng and Chen Jingrun were not even there. I finally remembered that there was Chen Sansheng, but I couldn't find it.
I couldn't find this man for a long time - well, Lin Youde couldn't remember when this man was born, so it was normal that he couldn't be found.
Fortunately, Helang Yabo's technological support is strong. Sophie is occasionally tricked by Lin Youde into "playing mind games." In addition, countries are not very interested in coding. This deciphering center has worked hard for more than three years and collected countless
The sample finally got the diplomatic code of major countries.
The British and Americans are aware of the existence of this center, so they are very vigilant about changing the code every year. Other countries are not as vigilant.
Messages sent by German and Austro-Hungarian diplomats to their respective capitals were immediately sent to the Ministry of Intelligence and the Gestapo. Before Lin Youde went to bed, the analysis and judgment of the messages by the two departments were sent to his desk.
"It seems that deterrence is quite effective." Lin Youde glanced through the report briefly, and then said to the women waiting in the room to have sex with him, "Especially Germany. We scared that Bismarck's granddaughter very much. In the future,
Our influence over Germany should increase over time."
"What about the Austro-Hungarian Empire?" Josephine stood in the center of the study, staring at the map on the wall - this map had been changed from a global map to a local map that was more suitable for the current situation. At this time, the Balkans, which was full of war, happened to be
The center of the map.
Lin Youde shrugged and said: "It doesn't matter, they can't defeat anyone except the Turks and Italians anyway."
However, after Lin Youde said that, he felt that it was not appropriate. Although the performance of the Austro-Hungarian army in the last time and space was indeed bad, maybe they were smeared with Indian magic oil in this time and space?
So he added: "However, as long as the Austro-Hungarian Empire starts to mobilize, we will put pressure on them. Hungarian Prime Minister Tisza is our good friend and regular customer, and many of the nobles in Budapest have received investment from us.
, it should be possible to use this to influence Vienna’s decision.”
"In contrast." Isabella flipped through the files on Lin Youde's big desk at random, and finally pulled out one, "What we need to pay attention to is France. The public opinion report pointed out that within the French army..."
"Yes," Josephine interrupted the British girl, "the concept of preventive warfare is highly respected within the French army. I have talked to every French military attache who came to China, and I know this very well. Now the French army
There is a kind of religious fanatical belief in offensive within the army. I know that this is very dangerous. Grandmaison, the advocate of this belief, once pursued me..."
"Wow." Lin Youde whistled.
Isabella replaced Josephine and rolled her eyes at Lin Youde, while Josephine was still immersed in the topic: "However, the French army's influence on the government is limited. The French are fed up with the military being in power, so the government has been
They are very sensitive to military interference in politics. No matter how obsessed the French army is with attacking, they will never be able to force Zheng Fu to participate in a war that the people do not want to see. Because Fuxu is a goddess, she has a certain influence on Zheng Fu.
, but this influence cannot play a decisive role."
"What if that was a war that the people wanted to see?" Isabella asked. "Don't forget that the sculpture of Strasbourg on the Place de la Concorde is still covered with black veil. The French have never forgotten Alsace."
The pain of Si and Lorraine.”
Isabella's words made Josephine's face look a little sad.
"Yes. The French have never forgotten that it is an old wound that is difficult to heal."

On June 20, 1908, the Austro-Hungarian army crossed the dividing line with the Ottoman Empire and entered Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The Turkish army tried to resist, but the morale of the Turkish army was low and there was no unified command. The generals were worried that the turbulent situation in Istanbul would affect their careers. More importantly, the generals of the Turkish army were all a bunch of people who rose to power by flattery.
He has no skills other than commanding troops to massacre unarmed civilians.
As an opponent, the officers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire did not fare much better. Conrad set up her command headquarters 300 kilometers away from the battlefield. She only checked the progress of the troops every day, and then involuntarily complained about the failure to achieve her assigned tasks.
The target troops cursed loudly and refused to listen to any explanation. The officers under Conrad seemed to be vying to imitate Franz, the chief of general staff and commanding the First Austro-Hungarian Army (how much the Austrians like this name)
Ah) The general even brought his wife along with him. When choosing the headquarters location, the first thing he considered was whether his wife’s bedroom had good lighting.
The two sides were simply competing against each other. In the end, the Austro-Hungarian soldiers were more or less like the soldiers of the European powers. The Austro-Hungarian troops were also better equipped and more supplied than the Turkish army. So Conrad achieved the victory she expected, in Sarajevo.
To the north, the main force of the Turkish army, which had no time to retreat, was surrounded.
In the past half century, the Austro-Hungarian Empire had never achieved such a victory. Conrad was described as a rare military genius by newspapers in Vienna and Budapest. Some people even compared her to another short stature.
The rebirth of a military genius - this made the French very unhappy. Clemenceau fiercely countered the Austrians in his newspaper, saying, "At least our great commander knows that the battlefield is not a ball. His shabby colonel's uniform is more fancy than
The dress is much more pleasing to the eye."
The Austro-Hungarian Empire pursued the victory and quickly occupied the entire territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina, driving the Ottoman Army to the Adriatic Coast.
Under the brilliant victory, Conrad was so proud that she began to urge Vienna to prepare to "solve the Balkan problem once and for all."
Conrad didn't like Montenegrins, she didn't like Serbs—in fact, she didn't like all the Slavs living in the Balkans. She was a devout Catholic, so she instinctively hated Orthodox Christianity.
Conrad's urging put Vienna in a difficult position.
Crown Prince Archduke Ferdinand was firmly opposed to the continued expansion of the war, as were the Hungarians, but dissatisfaction with the Principality of Serbia and blind trust in Conrad prevailed in the cabinet.
Most cabinet ministers and members of parliament think this way: since we can easily deal with that thorn in the Balkans, why not?
Archduke Ferdinand could not force the cabinet and parliament to give up this idea. He could only try to win over the Hungarians. But the problem was that the Hungarians also disliked Archduke Ferdinand, because everyone knew that after Archduke Ferdinand inherited the throne, he would definitely
Draw the Slavs into the imperial political system, grant them political rights, and turn the dualistic empire into a triarchal empire. The reason why the Hungarians oppose Conrad's continued expansion of the results is mainly based on this concern: At present, no one
No one can prevent Archduke Ferdinand from inheriting the throne, and no one can prevent Slavs from joining the political system of the empire. The more Slavs there are in the empire, the more disadvantageous it will be to the Hungarians, and Conrad's suggestion will undoubtedly increase the number of Slavs in the empire.
Large Slavic population.
The ideal plan in the Hungarian people's minds is to occupy more land - which is good, and then deny the throne to Archduke Ferdinand.
As a result, a strange balance formed in Vienna: Archduke Ferdinand's faction and those who supported Conrad were at odds with each other, while the Hungarians were in a dilemma.
If there is no interference from external forces, this balance may not be broken for a while.
At the same time, the Turks are also taking action. Enver's Turkish Youth Party has gained power. They are trying to persuade the Ottoman generals, who have heavy troops, to obey the management of the new government and unify the command of the army, but the generals require that there must be
A sultan. However, the sons of Abdulhamid II who died were also beaten to death - and buried with them were hundreds of beautiful women in his huge boudoir.
In the end, Enver had no choice but to force Abdulhamid II's younger brother to ascend the throne at gunpoint, but the generals did not appreciate it.
The Ottoman Empire was on the verge of civil war. Turks belonging to different Muslim factions disliked each other. In the Middle East, there were Arabs who had been oppressed for a long time and were waiting for the opportunity to revolt.
Under such circumstances, Enver made a difficult decision. He called Berlin and told the Kaiser that he was willing to use the outlet of the Persian Gulf in exchange for German support to stabilize the Ottoman domestic regime. At the same time, he also hoped that Germany would come forward.
Mediated the war between Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire. In return, Enver promised to cede a province on the Mediterranean to Germany.
The entire text of this telegram was intercepted by Lin Youde's European Bureau. The secret code used by the backward Ottoman Empire could not be called a secret code at all. Lin Youde's deciphering center had already mastered their code list.
At this time, an accidental event happened.
British spies stole the deciphered telegram and sent it back to London. The federal navy's intelligence agency actually performed quite well in terms of confidentiality and counterintelligence. British spies had to spend a lot of effort to steal very little information.
This is often mixed with a large number of deliberately released smoke bombs, but this crucial telegram was stolen just like this. The chance of this is even lower than the chance of a hit.
The British won this jackpot, and the world also won a "big prize".
