Chapter 550 Time

Heydrich's statement was more of a delaying tactic... Qin Chuan came to the fore from behind the scenes and entered the public's sight, especially when Hitler personally put a medal on Qin Chuan.

So Heydrich lost the opportunity to attack Qin Chuan, at least for now.

Because if Qin Chuan suddenly disappeared or something happened, Hitler and the people would ask for a thorough investigation.

In this case, Heydrich was worried that Qin Chuan would report the relevant matters to Hitler, so there was the delaying tactic just now plus the threat of using his family.

However, how could Heydrich let someone who knew his conspiracy live in this world? He could just choose to take action in other places, such as on the battlefield... The Gestapo also had many members in the front-line troops, and even many SS were Gestapo themselves. There were also Gestapo spies in the Wehrmacht. It was too easy to plot against a person in the chaos.

However, what Heydrich didn't know was that Qin Chuan was also a delaying tactic... What he had to do now was to know when Heydrich would leave.

But it was only at this time that Qin Chuan realized that it was not easy to know this.

Perhaps, it was not difficult to know when Heydrich left the Chancellery. The invited officials all lived in the guest room in the southeast corner of the Chancellery. Qin Chuan only needed to pay more attention to the movement outside the door to know the time when Heydrich left.

But Heydrich's departure from the Chancellery did not mean that he would leave Berlin and rush to Bohemia immediately. He might stay at home for a day or two, or he might have something to deal with in Berlin, which would make Qin Chuan's plan fail.

"Captain!" When Qin Chuan passed Rommel's guest room, the guard stepped forward and said, "General Rommel is waiting for you!"

The guard knocked on the door and reported, "General, the captain is here!"

When Qin Chuan walked through the door, he found that Canaris was also in the room.

"We meet again, Captain!" Canaris nodded to Qin Chuan.

"Yes, General!" Qin Chuan replied.

Rommel asked Qin Chuan: "Have you met Heydrich before?"

"Yes, I met him once yesterday!"

Rommel turned and asked Canaris: "Are you still checking the captain's identity? Is there anything else that makes you suspicious?"

"Oh, no!" Canaris replied somewhat embarrassedly: "Of course not, I believe Heydrich would not think so!"

Qin Chuan suddenly remembered that Canaris and Heydrich had a good personal relationship, and maybe he could get something out of Canaris.

So he asked Canaris: "General, I heard that you and General Heydrich are good friends?"

"Yes!" Canaris nodded: "We live on the same street, and you may not believe it, we actually bought a house there on the same day, and we knew each other and became neighbors on the third day after moving in!"

"What a coincidence!" Qin Chuan said: "This is a kind of fate!"

"Yes!" Canaris smiled: "And you know, our duties are also complementary, this is indeed a kind of fate. It's just... Heydrich is a person who pursues perfection, a perfectionist!"

Qin Chuan knew what Canaris meant by this.

As he said, Canaris's Military Intelligence Bureau and Heydrich's Gestapo's duties are indeed complementary: the Military Intelligence Bureau is responsible for collecting and processing foreign intelligence, while the Gestapo is responsible for domestic intelligence.

It's just that it's hard to distinguish some intelligence from domestic and foreign, such as the activities of foreign spies in Germany, and Germans being bribed by foreign spies, so the Military Intelligence Agency often needs to cooperate with the Gestapo, and some conflicts are inevitable in the distribution of power between the two.

These are not big problems, because Canaris and Heydrich have a good personal relationship, so they reached the so-called "Ten Commandments" at a family banquet, which is the issue of the powers of the two.

The Military Intelligence Agency and the Gestapo have always operated according to the "Ten Commandments".

The problem is... Heydrich is too capable, and his ability far exceeds that of Canaris. On the other hand, as Germany conquered one country after another abroad, such as Poland, Bohemia, etc., are these countries domestic or foreign?

And even if they are abroad, the SS and the Security Division are full of Gestapo. How can they sit idly by or willingly obey the command of the Military Intelligence Agency for foreign intelligence and resources?

Therefore, at this time, the "Ten Commandments" were already in name only, and Canaris's Military Intelligence Bureau had been hollowed out by Heydrich to some extent. This was one of the reasons why the Military Intelligence Bureau always made misjudgments when the war was launched... Under the pressure of the Gestapo, the Military Intelligence Bureau could not absorb more talents and did not have enough intelligence sources.

"What a pity!" Qin Chuan said: "General Heydrich has become the Governor of Bohemia. It's a rare opportunity for him to come back, and it's a good opportunity for you to reminisce!"

"No, no!" Canaris laughed: "I won't take up his and Lina's precious time, as you said... He should be with his wife when he comes back, right?"

Qin Chuan couldn't help but sigh and looked at Rommel: "Just like General Rommel, they are all running for their duties."

"Yes!" Canaris replied: "I heard from Heydrich that there are still many things waiting for him to deal with in Bohemia, and he must fly back to attend a meeting at six o'clock tomorrow morning... As I said before, he is a workaholic!"

"Hmm!" Qin Chuan nodded with satisfaction, he had got what he needed.

After chatting with Rommel for a while, Qin Chuan came to the hall to apply for a phone call... The Chancellery cannot make calls casually. Before making a call, the detailed information of the other party must be written down, and the call will be recorded.

However, this is not a problem, because Qin Chuan wants to call the Frankfurt Security Bureau, which is a very safe call target for the auditors.

Sure enough, not long after, the guard said to Qin Chuan: "Captain, you can talk!"

The phone was dialed by the signalman to prevent the applicant from dialing other phones when the guard was not paying attention.

"Hello!" Qin Chuan shouted into the phone: "Is it Dad? I'm Frick!"

"Yes, Frick!" Schmidt's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Is everything okay?"

"I'm fine!" Qin Chuan replied: "I won the Silver Oak Leaf Knight Medal!"

"Great!" Schmidt's surprised voice came from the other end of the phone.

...

It's just a very ordinary phone call, there is nothing suspicious, but in fact... Qin Chuan has passed the time in the form of code through the phone.
