Secrets of famous spies in the world spy war: the bizarre "meat stuffing plan" (I)

The Second World War was a catastrophe in the history of human war. No matter from the participating countries, economic losses or casualties, this global war is extremely tragic. Countries are fighting bloody battles on the battlefield filled with smoke, and the rolled-up blood is shocking. On the other hand, although there is no real battle, the warring sides feel the cruelty and adventure of the war in the contest of wisdom and strategy.

Carrying information, "mysterious visitors" floated from the sea.

1in the early morning of April 30, 943, Gardez Bay in southern Spain. The sea is foggy, the sun has not yet risen from the horizon, and occasionally several fishing boats float on the sea, all of which constitute a quiet and leisurely picture.

On the water not far from the coast, Spanish fishermen on a small fishing boat are preparing to cast their nets for fishing. He sat in the bow, lit cigarettes, lazily puffed out smoke rings and stared at the calm sea. Before dawn, the sea was shrouded in fog and gray all around. At this time, the fisherman found something black floating on the water and approaching the fishing boat, so he quickly called his wife to come and have a look.

The distance is still a little far. Although they have opened their eyes wide, they still can't see clearly. The fisherman moved the boat closer, only to find that the black thing was actually a corpse! Judging from his dark green uniform, this body should be a dead soldier.

"Mind your own business," said the wife impatiently. "Just a drunk who fell into the sea."

"But this is a soldier's body, and you can get a bonus when you send it back!" The husband disagrees with his wife.

Together, they think it's feasible. The fisherman tied the body with a rope and dragged it back to Virva Port, and immediately reported it to the sentry of the Spanish fleet. The sentry on duty saw the uniform on the body and found that it was not his comrade-in-arms, so he quickly reported to his superiors. According to the order of the superior, the sentry blocked the port and waited for the arrival of the chief executive.

After receiving the report, officials from the Spanish naval office rushed to the port for inspection. After preliminarily confirming that this is a British soldier through military uniform, notify the British Vice Consul in Virva to come and identify him. The British vice consul who heard the news came to the same conclusion after observing the body. This is an English messenger who may have drifted here after being killed in a plane crash.

The identity has been confirmed, and the British personnel asked the Spanish naval office to return the remains and their belongings.

Faced with such a request, the Spanish began to be vague. While agreeing to the British request, they also said that they must go through legal procedures and check the body before returning it. Since the other side said it was in accordance with legal procedures, the British vice consul could do nothing.

When the cunning Spaniard examined the body, he handed over the items carried on the body to German spies through local officials and took them away. While the British were waiting to receive the remains, German spies were already copying those important documents.

The British waited anxiously, but the Spanish never intended to hand over the body. So Hilgas, the deputy military attache of the British Navy, was sent to negotiate the return of the remains. He told the people in the Spanish naval office: "Major Drowning in our country has some confidential documents with him. I hope that neutral Spain can return the remains and property quickly and completely. "

In this way, it took Spain half a month to return all the goods to the British side. 1943 On May 13, the Spanish Navy Chief of Staff handed over the remains and their belongings to Hilgas. In order to emphasize Spain's responsible attitude, the Chief of General Staff also stressed that "everything is in good condition", and Hilgas sarcastically said disapprovingly: "I hope so!"

This information was "leaked" in this way: German spies obtained this information and immediately passed it on to the top of the German army. Hitler was surprised and happy when he saw this information. Hitler, who had the information, looked at Sardinia on the map. He is full of confidence and intends to set a trap there and teach the allies a hard lesson.

In fact, everything that happened before has long been under the control of Britain. After discovering the information about the allied forces on the corpse, the British knew that Spanish procrastination would inevitably pass this information on to Germany. After getting this information, Hitler will also believe it and make corresponding battle plans according to the information. The Germans thought they could set a trap for the British, but they were trapped by the British.

In the intelligence agency, the young major put forward a good plan.

2 George Street, London, UK, February 1943. This is the seat of Churchill's wartime cabinet. In one of the conference rooms, senior British generals are discussing nervously. There seems to be nothing special about this conference room, but the statue of Saturn hanging on the wall and the god of agriculture and animal husbandry, half man and half sheep, show that this place is unusual-this is the famous London Inspectorate, the British intelligence agency during World War II. The meetings held here are generally responsible for discussing the formulation and implementation of fraud and investigation actions. Many important orders in the allied strategic actions were issued from here and transmitted to various member States.

This time, the meeting was chaired by John Bevan, director of the London Supervisory Office, and Lieutenant Colonel of the British Army nicknamed "Fraud Manager". Many British spy leaders and senior generals attended the meeting. Bevan glanced at the participants present and looked at his watch again. The meeting officially started. After stubbing out the cigarette butts in his hand, he announced the theme of the meeting: the allied forces' step-by-step progress on the battlefield in North Africa made the war situation gradually develop in the direction of the allies, and at the Casablanca meeting in June+10, 5438, Britain and the United States also reached the opinion of implementing the Sicilian landing war after the Battle of Tunisia. When the main force carries out landing operations, our task is to provide cover for this attack.

"The military can do a good job of confidentiality. What does the intelligence department need to do in this operation? " An intelligence officer was puzzled by Bi Wan's words, which was far from his expected action plan.

"Concealing the Sicilian landing is only part of the operation," Bevan was dissatisfied with the intelligence officer's question. "We must not only conceal the attack plan, but also release a smoke screen to disturb the enemy's sight, so that the real intention will not be discovered by Hitler." This sentence made all the agents and generals present feel incomprehensible, and even felt that Biwan was a bit whimsical. Now the war situation is very clear. On June 1942+0 1, the allies captured the small island of Panteleria. It goes without saying that Sicily is the next target of the allied forces. As Churchill said, "Everyone knows that it is Sicily except a fool". In this case, Bevan put forward the preliminary idea of implementing this kind of intervention.

First of all, the real goal is Sicily, but the intelligence department should convince Hitler through deception and lies that the next plan of the allies is to divide the troops into two ways: one is to attack Sardinia and advance to the south of France, and the other is to attack Greece to prepare for the next goal-the Balkans. This is a very difficult task, and everyone discussed the possible solutions to carry it out. Some people proposed to use double spies, but they were quickly opposed. Hitler's message was not difficult. Convince him that this is the real point.

The plan left everyone at a loss. Germany has formed the hypothesis that the allied forces will attack Sicily, and if the allied forces want to land in Sicily, they must assemble a large number of ships in Gibraltar, which is also easy to arouse the suspicion of German spies. In the face of this thorny task, the intelligence department 1? A young naval major named Evan montague in F Division suddenly put forward a "corpse borrowing plan"!

What do you mean, reborn? How to operate specifically? Can implementation achieve results? A series of question marks flashed through the minds of the generals present. Faced with this unheard of tactic, many agents are puzzled. Facing everyone's curious eyes, montague began to explain his thoughts to everyone: the immediate task is twofold, that is, to hide the true intention of the allied forces to attack Sicily from Hitler, and to mislead him through information, so that he can believe the information sent by the intelligence department and send troops to protect him according to the information. This time, it is necessary to hide the information speculated by the Germans. In this case, they will take the initiative to disclose their relationship with double agents.

Hitler may not believe the news from France. There is an interesting book in China called Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which contains such a plot: Jiang Gan goes to Zhou Yu for information. He cleverly concealed his actions, but Zhou Yu found out. Later, Zhou Yu deliberately gave Jiang Gan false information. Jiang Gan falsely reported back to Wei, which made Cao Cao make a major mistake in fighting.

After clarifying the difference between this mission and other missions, the plan to be made now is aimed at "obvious" actions, not "very likely" attacks. Hitler was very cunning. To gain his trust, we must not only ensure that the plan is detailed and has enough "authenticity", but also make the fraud plan logical.

So how to implement this corpse borrowing plan? Montague went on to say that if the information voluntarily leaked is not enough to win the trust of the Germans, why not pass it on through the dead? If a corpse dressed as an officer of the General Staff is found with specially prepared documents, and then allowed to land in pro-German Spain because of a plane crash, German spies will certainly take the initiative to obtain this information.

This plan was questioned by an intelligence officer: "This idea is too naive. Intelligence activities are real. If there is such an action, it must be the plot in the movie. "

Montague was very confident in his plan, and he slowly gave his own explanation: "This plan really looks unrealistic, but we have many favorable conditions to make it feasible: Germans know that allied officials fly to North Africa along the Spanish coast by plane; According to information, Virva has a German spy network with close ties with Spanish officials. If the allied "officers of the General Staff" land here, they will definitely be discovered by German spies. Although Spain is a neutral country, it has a pro-German tendency, and Spain's information will definitely reach the Germans in the end. "

Having said that, Major montague also has his own ideas: although he has a plan in mind, it is of great importance after all. So he added that although this plan is well thought out, any plan will inevitably have risks. If Hitler sees through this plan, then the "Eskimo" operation of the allied landing in Sicily is likely to go bankrupt.

The detailed explanation of the plan and the risk analysis of the task made the officers and men participating in the training feel new ideas. Finally, Bi Wan decided: "This plan can be tried!"

In this way, a bold and novel spy plan was born in the London monitoring room.
