I asked you to escape, but you became a soldier in World War II

Chapter 157: Having a good father is really awesome

The next day, Lin Chen called Alcatel out again.

Alcatel is now very respectful to Lin Chen and no longer has the arrogance and stubbornness he once had.

"Does our bet still stand?"

"Forget it, of course! Captain Lin, please go ahead and talk. We can discuss everything."

"Really? I'm just afraid that after I tell you, you'll deny it in the end." Lin Chen deliberately kept the secret.

"How is that possible? I swear on the honor of my family that I will definitely do what I say!" Alcatel thought simply, and immediately felt a huge stone breaking in his chest.

Lin Chen smiled slightly. This was exactly the effect he wanted.
"I need it." He whispered his thoughts into Alcatel's ear.

"What? This is impossible!" Alcatel really jumped up.

"What does it matter? I'm not going in to steal. I'm just taking a look."

"It's extremely difficult to get in there unless I have a special pass from my father, but how could he give it to me?" Alcatel thought his idea was a joke.

It is true that I am the third young master, but I am not the third prince!

"Doesn't your father have any extra passes with him?" Lin Chen still didn't give up.

"I don't know. I never paid attention to this issue. And to enter the archives of the Ministry of National Defense, they will register everything in detail. If someone tells my father about my experience, I will die miserably."

Alcatel stared at Lin Chen alertly for a long time, "Tell me the truth, what do you want to see in there?"

Lin Chen thought for a long time and decided to tell the truth.
When Alcatel finished listening, he fell into deep thought.
After a long while, he looked up at Lin Chen.
"Is your judgment accurate? In other words, how confident are you?"

Lin Chen shook his head. "I'm not sure, but my intuition is often very reliable."

If someone else said this, Alcatel would definitely give him a slap in the face and kick him a few times.

"I told you to be intuitive and reliable!"

But after Lin Chen said this, he really had to believe it, because this guy was truly half human, half ghost. Could an ordinary person judge what he said and did?
"Okay, you don't have to go in. I'll go! I'll give you news tomorrow morning! If anything goes wrong, I'll take full responsibility. I believe my father will punish me severely at most. But I hope your intuition is more reliable."

"Don't worry. If my judgment is correct, you have done a great deed. It will bring glory to your family and eliminate harm for the empire!" Lin Chen was still making big promises. He had no choice but to say this.

Because through his observations over the past few days, he believed that Alcatel was a patriotic and passionate young man, and that he was not a bad person by nature. It was just that he was spoiled since childhood, which led him to develop many bad habits.

In the afternoon, Lina brought some bad news.
The bombing plan submitted by Lin Chen last time was actually supported and approved by General Li Mei.

Because General Li Mei has always advocated the implementation of "large-scale aircraft bombing" and even proposed the model of thousands of aircraft bombing before, Lin Chen's suggestion was very much to his liking.

Coupled with the fact that the Allied bombers and escort aircraft are now wealthy and powerful, this model has become fully mature.

Only Lina knew that Lin Chen proposed this plan just to find out the traitor, but she didn't expect it to be passed.

"General Li Mei said that as long as the fleet is large enough and there are enough escort planes, the effect will definitely be great." Lina didn't know how to comfort him now, so she could only use Li Mei's rhetoric.

"The key is that such a huge force will definitely force the German army to withdraw fighters from the Eastern Front, and they will suffer considerable losses. Strategic bombing is not something that can be achieved overnight. No matter how rich you are, you cannot waste your strength at will."

Lin Chen knew that the German Air Force was not as desperate as it was in 1945. Although the German army suffered heavy losses on the Eastern Front, thanks to Dr. Speer's painstaking efforts, it still reached the peak of its military industrial production capacity in 1944.

If the enemy could completely determine the bombing route and concentrate its superior fighter groups to intercept, it would likely cause the US Eighth Air Force to lose its combat effectiveness for a long period of time.

If this affects the Normandy landing, it would be terrible.

"Has the time for the attack been set?"

"Not yet. We won't know until the early morning of the last day."

"So that means that the traitor must have already sent out an alert, letting the German high command know, and then dispatched planes back from the Eastern Front?" Lin Chen suddenly thought of a good idea that would allow the traitor to lose more than he gained.

"If I were the insider, I would definitely notify them in advance, because according to the Allied procedures, the bombing operation usually takes place the day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and I have just calculated that the weather the day after tomorrow is more suitable for taking off and fighting. The most important point is that the weather in Berlin is also relatively ideal."

"Okay, then I need you to help me do something," Lin Chen needed Lina's help.

"what's up?"

"You should have a general idea of ​​how high-power radio stations are used in the UK, right?" Lin Chen had actually guessed this a long time ago. If she only had the identities of an expert in mathematics and meteorology, she would not be able to hold such a high position in the group. If he guessed correctly, Lina's true identity should also be an agent, and a very high level one at that.

Lina smiled. She knew Lin Chen was smart, but she didn't expect him to be so smart.

Since we are all smart people, there is no need to hide it too much.
"Okay, I'll help you check the recent records of high-power radios. But I can only check the British ones. I can't check the ones from your American side."

"There's no need to check with the US military. I believe their management is stricter."

"You" Lina was so angry with him. Doesn't this mean that the British are all sieves?

"And one more thing."

"Are you still not done yet? Let's talk about whatever you want to say."

Lin Chen walked over and whispered his thoughts in Lina's ear.

In the face of Lina's extremely surprised expression, he just emphasized the need to keep it confidential and said nothing more.

After sending Lina away, Lin Chen decisively picked up the phone and introduced himself.

"I need to see the general,"

"Only 15 minutes?"

"Okay, 15 minutes is enough!"

After hanging up the phone, he shouted out the door,
"Kirilenko, follow me!"

The moment he walked out of the house, Lin Chen said to himself, "We'll know who the traitor is tomorrow."

The next morning, the "sailor" team held another meeting to still plan how to catch the traitor.

Major General Richard rarely got angry at the meeting, accusing the team of being inefficient, especially some people who were still interested in conducting live-fire exercises.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Lin Chen at the same time.

"Deputy Team Leader Lin, the British General Staff has also sent a letter of praise, praising you for your unparalleled military accomplishments and superb jungle combat experience in the exercise. They will also award you the Medal of Honor."

Richard's words were cold, and even the dumbest person could tell they were sarcasm.

Lin Chen smiled faintly, stood up and answered loudly, "Thank you, sir. It is only with the consent of the team leader that I can go to the Parachute Regiment to show the strength of our 'Sailor' team." His words were actually very heartbreaking. On the one hand, he told everyone that going there was entirely with Richard's consent, and on the other hand, he also told everyone that he took the honor to bring glory to the team.

"Well, okay, but what about our main responsibilities and tasks? How are you doing with them?"

Lin Chen understood that the other party was starting to pass the buck. Logically speaking, Richard himself should be responsible for the direction of this kind of work, but for so many days, he never came to discuss with him or arrange related work content.

Now he wants to put the blame on himself for not finding the traitor, and the reason is nothing more than that he is the deputy team leader.

As the saying goes, the higher the position, the greater the responsibility.

It is not easy to be the deputy team leader.

"Report to the commander, there is no clue at the moment."

Richard showed a hint of dissatisfaction, "Then may I ask, when will we have a clue? Our mission is not to fight and kill, but to use our brains!"

The others were silent, but they all felt that Major General Richard was taking advantage of the situation. If this traitor was so easy to find, why did you mobilize so many of us? The key point was that you didn't assign any tasks to everyone.

Did he authorize Captain Lin to handle the matter?
Just when everyone was puzzled, Lin Chen suddenly said,
"In half an hour, I will know the situation of this inner demon."

"Oh?" Major General Richard laughed in anger. "There is no joking in the military. Deputy Team Leader Lin, you must be responsible for your words."

"Well, I'll take responsibility. If I can't find the traitor in half an hour, I'll resign automatically."

Lin Chen's words immediately caused an uproar, even Lina kept rolling her eyes at him, "Are you going to die if you're not so arrogant?"
"Okay, then I'll wait here for half an hour!"

Major General Richard ordered the logistics staff to deliver coffee to everyone. It took about half an hour to finish a cup of coffee.
He wanted to see what Lin Chen could come up with.

Everyone in the conference room was worried, wondering who the traitor was and how to catch him? Or was Lin Chen just talking nonsense?

But ever since Lin Chen joined this group, it seems that there has never been a precedent of empty talk.

Looking at Lin Chen again, where is the trace of sadness?
Instead, he drank his coffee leisurely, took out a copy of today's newspaper and read the news.

Time passed quickly, and in a short while, half an hour had passed.

"Deputy Team Leader Lin, the time has come. You should fulfill your promise."

"Team leader, before I fulfill my promise, I would like to ask you a question," Lin Chen said slowly, as if he didn't take the matter to heart at all.

"You can ask, but if you want to delay time, I advise you to save your energy. I am very free this morning."

"Okay, I know you're free today, so where did you go yesterday?"

When Richard heard this question, his face turned pale and he asked, "You think you can find out my whereabouts?"

Lin Chen calmly raised the newspaper in his hand and said, "I think you must have gone to the newspaper office yesterday."

"Humph, so what? I'm the honorary editor-in-chief of the British Times. Isn't it normal for me to go to a newspaper office?"

"But the news you published is extremely abnormal."

Lin Chen's words surprised everyone, and they began to pass the newspaper around. It contained only a simple commentary signed by Major General Richard.

"What's wrong?" Richard didn't care at all.

Lin Chen said something shocking, "Because this is the latest information about our bombing of Berlin that was passed to the German top brass."

Wow~
As soon as Lin Chen finished speaking, the whole place fell into silence.

Having said this, there is no way out. Either Richard will suffer, or Lin Chen will be expelled from the army on the charge of slandering his superiors, and may even face imprisonment.

"Haha, Deputy Team Leader Lin, have you drunk too much coffee? This is just an ordinary commentary, and its main content is criticizing the German bombing of our country. If it is wrong, then I have nothing to say." Richard's words resonated with everyone. Most people here like to read the Times, and everyone likes to read the commentary written by General Richard very much.

The content is concise and critical of current social problems, especially the criticism of FXS Germany is completely devastating.

Is there something wrong with this article? How come I never noticed it?

Just when everyone was expressing doubts, Alcatel came.

He walked in and saluted everyone, then looked at Major General Richard meaningfully.

The latter suddenly felt a chill.

When he handed a piece of information to Lin Chen,
I smiled and said to him, "I have accomplished my mission. It is up to you now."

Then he left without looking back.

"It's really awesome to have a good father. You got it right now?"

"Deputy Team Leader Lin, you haven't answered my question yet!" Richard was really feeling a little angry.

"Oh, sorry, I want to ask you one more question before answering your previous question."

"Go ahead, I hope this is the last question!" Richard was obviously a little impatient.

"Were your parents English?"

"Yes, what does this have to do with you?"

It is extremely impolite to casually investigate the superior's parents.

"But according to my research, your mother is not British, but German."

"What does this prove? In Europe, intermarriage between different countries is a very normal thing." Richard was obviously a little flustered.

"Well, there is nothing wrong with intermarriage, but the problem is, your father died five years ago, where is your mother?"

When Richard heard this question, his fingers trembled unconsciously, but this scene was captured by the meticulous Lin Chen.

"My family members died in the German air raid many years ago!" Obviously everyone knew what Richard said, so they all looked at him with sympathy.

"Why do you keep pestering me about my family situation? Are you trying to expose my scars? You bastard!" Richard was angry.

But this seems to be a normal and reasonable reaction.

"I express my deepest regret for what happened to your family, but one thing I don't understand is, according to my intelligence, how come your family lives in a small border town in Bavaria, Germany?"
