Chapter 596: Bletchley Park Code Breaking Conference

On August 15, 1939, the British government's cryptographic school was the first to move into Bletchley Park. The school's Admiralty, Military Department and Air Force Department were all deployed on the first floor of Bletchley Manor, and the top floor was used by the British MI6. In addition, the Bletchley Manor also had facilities such as telecommunications, teletype room, kitchen and dining room to use it for the staff who deciphered the password.

Since 1943, Bletchley Garden immediately used the world's first digital electronic computer to interpret a German teletype cryptographic system called TUNNY. This computer called the Giant Elephant was designed by Tommy Floyas and is also one of the greatest contributors to successfully decipher German passwords.

During the war, many wooden huts were built in Bletchley Park for information collection. These huts were named after numbers, and their work was:

Hut 3—Information purpose, specializes in translation and analysis of Enigma cipher machine systems used in the Army and Air Force

Hut No. 4—Information purpose, specializes in analyzing Enigma cryptographic machine system used in the Navy

Hut 6—Specially deciphering the Enigma crypto machine system used in the Army and Air Force

Hut 8—Specially deciphering the Enigma crypto machine system using the Navy

The 10th and 11th houses are the Meteorological Department, and the tool "bomb" that deciphers Enigma's code...

Therefore, the German Enigma cipher machine was quickly deciphered, which allowed Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union and other countries to know the German military deployment, military strength, and weapon and equipment research and development status very clearly, so that they could calmly respond to the German attack.

However, after Chen Yanlong modified the Enigma cipher machine, the intelligence content such as the military deployment and combat operations of the German army that Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union and other countries could detect was much less, and it was even impossible to decipher it.

But even so, scientists from Britain, the United States and other countries, and deciphering cryptographers are trying every means to develop more advanced computers and find ways to deal with the German army's code deciphering work after the Germans repaired the Enigma cryptograph.

"How is it? Anne? Have you intercepted the German Navy's movements in the Mediterranean?"

Just as Rommel and his team were resting on the aircraft carrier fleet for a while, a female officer from the Sixth Intelligence Department asked anxiously at a female decipher who was intercepting the Ennigma Navy code in Germany.

"It's being intercepted, give me some more time. This time we will definitely be able to successfully decipher the Ennigma Navy's Navy code of the German Navy! Lieth!"

Decipher Anne responded lightly while concentrating on intercepting German codes.

"Yes! I hope God bless us! Since the Germans modified the code, it has become increasingly difficult for us to decipher their passwords! This incident has caused great headaches for all the top intelligence officials. I heard that even Prime Minister Churchill has paid great attention to our deciphering work and has issued a very strict order to re-decipher the German Enigg code in a short period of time!"

Lieth also replied in a depressed mood.

"Yes! I never expected that the Germans could modify the original Enigma cipher. I originally thought that Mr. Bill Toott, the Newmanry department led by Mr. Mikes Newman, and Mr. John Terrman, had completely deciphered all the German cipher machines, who knew that unexpected things would suddenly happen!"

The decipherist Anne was also in a complicated mood.

"Well! But I still believe that Mr. Bill Tutt and Mr. Tommy Floyas will find a solution again. The final victory will definitely be ours, because we are working for a just cause, and this damn world war should end soon! Because there are so many people who die, all of them are the damn Germans!"

After Lieutenant Lis was silent for a moment, he comforted himself as if he was motivated.

"Well! Yes, we will definitely win!"

The decipherman Anne also nodded gently and replied.

But staff members with high-level backgrounds like the decipherers Anne and Lieth can talk about it in Bletchley Manor and know that they are working on deciphering the German Enigma cipher machine, because most of the people in the manor are ignorant of the deciphering work they are participating in, except for the secrets that only a few wealthy and powerful people know.

If they were low-class and low-class personnel, in the vast administrative bodies of the estate, they were only insignificant members; they would not be told about the true nature of the work of the Bletchley Manor.

Most of them were studying the form of "drawing circles and cross-playing games" day and night, and also set up sentries, oaths, threats, guns, high walls, and passes in the manor to isolate most of the password-breaking workers from the world and cannot casually discuss the password.

Of course, except for intelligence expert Raf Tester leading a four-person deciphering group called "Testley Group", Robert is one of the four veteran members, code-named "Jerry". Later, the team expanded to 9, with as many as 118 staff members, and the entire team was working in turn in three shifts.

At this time, Bill Toot, Alan Massson and Tommy were also holding an emergency meeting in the manor.

"The original Enigma cipher machine was a complex cipher machine composed of three rotors. Under this system, the machine can encrypt the message into messy letter fragments. But we finally discovered that the German army's improved Enigma cipher machine had an additional rotor, which means that the work of deciphering such cipher machines was 26 times complicated at once!"

"If we want to crack Germany in a short period of time, it will take us a while, at least a few months and a year. Unless we have more advanced digital electronic computers or computers, if the Germans also configure technologies such as mapping systems into their Enigma cipher machines, it will be even more difficult for us to decipher their passwords!"

During the meeting, Alan Massson was the first to stand up and explain.

The hailed as the father of computer science, the father of artificial intelligence, and the general consultant of the British and American cryptographic deciphering department, also looked very serious at this moment, scanned the audience for a while, and then waited for the next person to answer him.

"Sir Consultant, do you have any good solutions?"

In response to this, Captain Raymond Robert, the core member of the British Code Cracking Team, stared at the other party with anticipation.

At this time, Bill Tutt, the British legend decoding expert, and Tommy, were also staring at Turing in anticipation.

Turing also looked at the other party deeply, because Robert finally became a milestone heavyweight in the World War II code deciphering through years and tireless efforts. So even Alan Turing, a pioneer in computer science who led the deciphering of the German Navy "Ennigma", also expressed his appreciation for his work.

That's why he respects the other party's speeches and ideas.

"In addition to creating more advanced electronic computers, or sending additional personnel to analyze and decipher the top Nazi Germany password - "tuna", there is no particularly good way to deal with the German army's modified "tuna" password!"

After being silent for a long time, Turing said helplessly.

"But our navy is in a naval battle against the Germans in the Mediterranean. If we cannot decipher the German password for them, then this naval battle will be a relatively arduous battle for our army!"

As soon as he finished speaking, intelligence expert Raf Tester said worriedly.

"You said, so in addition to continuing to work hard to find ways to re-decipher the Enigma code of the German army with one rotor, we can also send more intelligence officers to various German departments to reconnaise the military deployment and operations of the senior German army! Of course, we don't need to pay attention to the latest "tuna" code of the Germans, because we have successfully cracked it!"

Turing responded after frowned.

"I am using the methods you mentioned, but I have discovered that our Prime Minister Churchill is an impatient person. He will not give us too much time!"
