After the orders were communicated, Hindenburg finally calmed down from the panic upon first hearing the intelligence.
He touched his chin and stared at the map, thinking for a good while before asking expressionlessly: "Is the intelligence source reliable?"
Ludendorff turned his gaze to the staff beside him.
The staff hurriedly opened the file in his hand to check; it recorded the source of each piece of intelligence, with detailed explanations for important information.
"The intelligence comes from the US military, Your Excellency," the staff replied:
"It was our spy embedded in the US Army who heard some rumors."
"Additionally, indeed, there are French Army tanks secretly moved to Strasbourg, along with other troops."
The German Army in the regions of Lorraine and Alsace has a complete intelligence system, having controlled these areas for decades, the residents living here have blended together indistinguishably.
