Bab 6: Military Intelligence Bureau of the Army General Staff
"The enemy's attack is underway.
On September 12th, despite the fierce resistance from the German army, the combined British and French forces only advanced 3 kilometers into the depth. The resilience and tenacity of the German army in defense were undoubtedly revealed.
On the 13th, the British and French forces continued to advance, and at the third defensive line, the sound of enemy artillery could already be clearly heard.
The Third Company still hasn't encountered the enemy, but the soldiers are becoming restless.
Wang Weiya knew very well that the battle erupting on the 15th would be the most difficult. On that day, a new type of weapon would appear on the battlefield, marking a new chapter in the history of warfare.
That weapon was the tank.
Wang Weiya did his best to describe the shape and power of the tank to the soldiers of the Third Company, arousing their curiosity.
Could the enemy really possess such a weapon?
The British were the first to produce the Mark I "Male" and "Female" tanks, which were nicknamed "water tanks" to maintain secrecy. But little did they dream that this top-secret weapon had already been leaked to a small German unit.
The soldiers of the Third Company didn't doubt the credibility of their commander's intelligence source. Perhaps it came from the intelligence department?
As Wang Weiya vividly described the tank and how to deal with it, Sergeant Hall approached: "Lieutenant, there's a girl here to see you."
"A girl?" Wang Weiya was taken aback. What girl?
Bonklerer sneered, "Hey, Lieutenant, there's never been a tradition of women fighting in the German army."
The soldiers around laughed.
A girl in military uniform approached. She was a sergeant. Wang Weiya stood up to greet her: "I'm Lieutenant Ernst Bleim, commander of the Third Company."
The tall, beautiful blonde sergeant saluted respectfully. "Heinrich Elena, Military Intelligence Bureau of the Army General Staff."
When they heard the name "Military Intelligence Bureau of the Army General Staff," all the soldiers of the Third Company became serious. Wang Weiya remembered why his subordinates had such expressions.
The Military Intelligence Bureau of the Army General Staff was the main intelligence agency of Germany during the First World War, led by Major Nikola. It operated under the Military Intelligence Bureau and had secret intelligence stations. Major Nikola commanded about 150 intelligence officers. Many of them were directly under his command at the Supreme Command, while others worked in Berlin, in the military district intelligence stations, in subordinate command headquarters on the Western Front, and in the Eastern and Southeastern Front Army Headquarters. The Intelligence Bureau's budget was second to none in Europe except for Russia's.
In Germany, there was a saying that the Military Intelligence Bureau of the Army General Staff had unlimited power and could go anywhere they wanted.
And even though Major Nikola was only a major, many officers with much higher ranks showed him great respect.
The sudden appearance of Heinrich Elena made all the soldiers of the Third Company put away their smiles and become very serious.
"Sergeant, welcome to the Third Company," Wang Weiya knew the other party's prowess and spoke politely.
Elena's flawless face showed no hint of a smile, and her deep blue eyes contained a mysterious look. "Lieutenant, I need to speak with you in private."
"Alright, this way, please."
Once away from the soldiers of the Third Company, Elena quickly spoke: "Lieutenant, a spy hidden within our ranks has obtained important intelligence and defected. He has received assistance from a secret British commando team, and we must intercept them to retrieve the intelligence. Your Third Company is the closest."
"I understand," Wang Weiya said decisively. "Please provide me with more precise information."
Elena seemed satisfied with his attitude. "The target you need to intercept is called Andreas. Here's his photo..."
Wang Weiya took the photo and examined it before putting it away. Elena continued, "The British commando team consists of about eight to ten people, dressed in German military uniforms. They will pass through here today. In addition to retrieving the intelligence, your mission is to ensure none of them return alive."
"Understood, Sergeant."
"I will participate in this operation to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
Elena's words surprised Wang Weiya. He never thought women would be involved in combat. Women, it seemed, were better suited to auxiliary roles behind the lines.
He shrugged. "Alright, Sergeant, but I hope you take care of yourself in battle."
Elena's expression remained cold. "You don't need to worry about that."
"Hall, Bonklerer, Schtaek... Adolf, you come with me. The rest of you continue to hold the position." Wang Weiya loudly issued the order.
Soon, the team was assembled, totaling twenty people including Wang Weiya and Elena.
After briefing the mission to the soldiers, they seemed excited. It had been a while since they had fought the enemy since the last battle. Now, it was time to teach those British a lesson.
While the soldiers prepared, Wang Weiya quietly approached a corner and spoke softly into the tracker, "Xiaoling, Xiaoling, calling Xiaoling."
Xiaoling's voice came again, "Calling me so early, is there something important? The battle hasn't started yet. Do you want reinforcements already?"
"Help me look up a spy named Andreas who seems to have stolen some intelligence from the Germans."
After a short silence, Xiaoling said, "Andreas, Dutch, recruited as a spy by the British Intelligence Department in 1914... Strange, why did the task of pursuing him fall to you? It should have been handled by another unit... I think maybe our appearance has changed some small historical trajectories... Ah, that's what Doctor worries about the most..."
"I don't care about that damn Doctor's worries." Wang Weiya was always annoyed whenever Dr. Qin was mentioned. "I need to know where I can intercept this damn Andreas!"
"Wait a moment, let me analyze... West, the enemy is not far to the west."
"Are you sure?"
"Of course, don't forget I'm a computer."
"Alright, alright." Wang Weiya suddenly changed his tone. "Xiaoling, it's been two days, do you miss me?"
After a short silence, Xiaoling replied very affectionately with just one word:
"Get lost!"
