"Hey, Quaglar, what's wrong with you?"

After talking to his own flight warship, Colonel Geopta returned to the armored command vehicle with a calm expression. Adjutant Lieutenant Wiggard had been standing there, lowering his head alone, looking very thoughtful, and constantly tinkering with the tip of his shoes on the ground.

Hearing the colonel's voice, he raised his head and his face was hesitant.

"Sir, there is something, uh...it can be big or small, can be said or not..."

Colonel Geopta, who is honest by nature, obviously doesn't like others talking to him hesitantly, frowning to express his displeasure.

The lieutenant dared not keep it in silence: "The troops left behind in the abandoned mines were attacked by the enemy, and the communication vehicle of Patrol Battalion was destroyed. They just cleaned up the wreckage of the vehicle and did not find the communication password book."

Colonel Geopta opened his mouth wide and was so shocked that he didn't say anything.

"Of course, it may have been burned in the explosion, and the paper stuff burned very quickly." The lieutenant defended himself.

"But other paper documents still have traces, such as burned fragments!" Colonel Geopta speculated.

The lieutenant sighed heavily to express his default.

"This is terrible!" The colonel put his hands on his hips, looked up at the sky, his face of sorrow was almost curdled into frost.

"All the crew members on the communication vehicle were killed, and this matter was actually unproven." The lieutenant muttered himself. Despite this, his tone and attitude had already shown his true thoughts: even if the future was worrying, the overall situation should be put first and truthfully report to his superiors this situation that could cause significant losses.

After a moment of thinking, the colonel seemed to have made up his mind and returned to the withered ground from the blue sky: "I have already negotiated with the flight troops just now, and they will help us transport the wounded. If this is the case, my opinion is... let the flight troops bring the news back, and the command center should mobilize the troops to arrest the remaining enemies as soon as possible. Before eliminating hidden dangers or enabling a new password book, all military communications will be switched to emergency methods."

The adjutant turned his eyes and guessed the colonel's intention: "So, let's stay here and lure the enemy to attack?"

"Abolish the previous orders, and the battalions and companies will move into on-site defense. Not only will they occupy the commanding heights, but they also have to find ways to block the enemy's 'rat hole' - where did the enemy come from before, it should have left traces!"

"Yes, sir, most of them have it, but it is not ruled out that the enemy has retained some spare channels. Generally speaking, it is not difficult to organize defense here." Speaking of military affairs, the lieutenant returned to a state of quick thinking and fast speaking.

The colonel said: "It is precisely because our defense is difficult that we can lure the enemy, but what I worry most is that the enemy is unmoved at all, which means that they have obtained our password book in most cases."

The lieutenant scratched his head and said, "Although we can take emergency measures, this is a terrible disaster for all the communication departments of the troops. Regardless of the outcome, we will become the objects of their hatred or even curse."

"Okay! I have to bite the bullet and communicate with the proud flying officer about this. I hope he will continue to maintain a friendly attitude, instead of ruthlessly mocking us..." the colonel said with a bitter face.

The lieutenant quickly volunteered: "Why... I will communicate with them on your behalf?"

The colonel waved his hand, said nothing, and turned straight toward the position where the flying warship had lowered the pod.

Lieutenant Wiggard sighed lightly this time, walked helplessly to the door of the armored communication vehicle, and shouted: "Carry up the communication soldiers!"

...

In the hidden tunnel observation port, Weiss and two non-commissioned officers took turns to monitor the Normans' actions. Before nightfall, three Norman warships left together, but they certainly could not accommodate all Norman soldiers, which means that there were still many Normans and undestroyed vehicles and equipment to continue to stay in the abandoned Rusten iron mine. Weiss did not even need to open a special vision to guess the enemy's intentions - compared to the survival of this army, the small communication codebook is even more unmissable. Therefore, the enemy is willing to use hundreds of Norman officers and soldiers as bait to lure the federal resisters to launch a night attack. Then, as long as the live mouth is caught, they can leave important clues, and then find ways to find ways to retrieve the password book, or send additional reinforcements to lure the attackers to come and annihilate them, and directly recapture the communication codebook.

Since he saw through the enemy's "bitter plan", Weiss would definitely not harass the Norman troops again. On the contrary, after nightfall, he decisively let the "Lorraine guerrilla warriors" who participated in the war evacuated, and the seized enemy communication codebook was carried by the accompanying communication soldiers.

Without the warning of the Norman warship, the evacuation was very smooth at night. By midnight, Weiss and his team returned to the secret stronghold No. 8, about 90 miles from Somsonas. It is located in the deep forest and adjacent to the mountain stream. It not only has sufficient water sources, but also has natural caves to hide. The only disadvantage is that the terrain and geography cannot accommodate resisters and production equipment on a large scale.

After returning to the secret base, the communications soldiers worked with the former full-time telegraphers of the Somsonas Telegraph Office to work together with the Normans' communication codebooks at night. With the characteristics of the codebook, the so-called "trial" is actually to explore and familiarize themselves with its rules so that they can quickly interpret the enemy's communication codes after intercepting the enemy's communication codes and ensure the accuracy of the interpretation. That night, they tried to interpret two enemy codes, and the interpretation level reached more than 90% - basically meeting the standard of "complete interpretation".

When they got up early in the morning and received the completed enemy communications and telegrams, Weiss was not as excited as his companions. In his opinion, the abnormal actions of the Norman army in the abandoned Rusten iron mine showed that they realized that the codebook was lost rather than damaged. If there was no result, the Normans were very likely to activate emergency measures. Whether they restricted radio communications or took out backup codebooks, the value of this codebook would be greatly reduced. In this case, after going through a lot of hardships, they would not only have no effect, but could fall into the trap of the enemy's trap. The current federal army is in jeopardy and may no longer bear any unexpected losses.

Next, Weiss closely monitored the movements of the Normans in the direction he speculated. Although the telegrams they intercepted mentioned that the password book was missing, the enemy's radio communication frequency decreased sharply. Soon, the signal with strong signals almost disappeared, and the signal with stronger signals became fewer and fewer, slowly only the radio waves emitted from distant locations were left.

The Normans' keen senses and agile reactions in military affairs once again made Weis sigh. At this point, the significance of the codebook seems to be just to let federal crypto experts study the enemy's crypto encoding rules, which may be able to add points for the federal army to decipher enemy secret telegrams in the future, and may be useless - with the Normans' military wits, they may establish a new crypto system with completely different encoding rules. The cost is too high? In the case of occupying most of the territory of the Kingdom of Wessex and the Ulster Free Federation, the Norman Empire entered a terrifying upward channel, both material and human resources, and the longer the time, the greater the potential for war!

After thinking about it, Weiss made a bold decision: to issue a letter of war to the Norman Dynasty with a secret telegram from the Norman army!

In ancient times, Fang Xiaoru denounced Zhu Di for "usurping the throne". Although he was unable to "destroy the ten clans", his loyalty and loyalty made him famous throughout the ages. Weiss did not have the literary talent of the great scholar of the Ming Dynasty, but he was diligent and good at thinking, knew how to guide the past and discuss the present, criticized the current ills, and used the inherent limitations of monarchy to analyze the "three major crimes" of the Norman Dynasty: autocratic power, arbitrarily, and despise the lives of soldiers; long halberds, high-ranking families, concealed their wives and children, and despised their military achievements; moody, life and death, and ignoring the contributions of soldiers.

Although the listing of these crimes was neither sufficient investigation and research as a basis, nor generous and gorgeous words and rhetoric as a set, the reasons were insufficient, there was no case support, the speech was too short, and the text was delayed, and the literary value was almost zero, but before that, no one had ever shouted in this way. What's more important is that in the silent communication channel of the entire line, such a secret telegram suddenly appeared. From the front line to the rear, from the senior command center to the grassroots combat troops, from the royal armor to poor soldiers, countless command centers accepted and interpreted the telegram. Every sentence, word, it was clearly presented to the communication soldiers, officers at all levels, and royal relatives and nobles in the army...

At the end of the telegram, the Norman soldiers who were unwilling to be humble for generations and who were unwilling to endure bullying declared war on the arrogant and arrogant Norman Dynasty. Every word and sentence was shocking and breathtaking!

After the video was sent out, all radio stations under Weiss took radio silence. Except for necessary reconnaissance and surveillance operations, all activities were suspended and all members were transferred to "hibernation". In the Norman Empire, no Norman troops gave any response to this inexplicable secret telegram, and the top leaders of the Norman Empire did not respond in any open way or express their indignation. The Norman army's attack on the front line seemed to be still organizing step by step, but the more nothing happened, the more peaceful it was, the more dull it felt before the storm came.
