Looking at ancient and modern China and foreign countries, as well as reading some historical materials, we can see that human history is a "war history."
In some typical wars, we can find that the side that usually uses "scheming" will mostly achieve the final victory in the final battle.
For example, in ancient China, the Battle of Guandu, the Battle of Chibi, and the Battle of Troy in ancient Greek mythology, etc., they all used strategic tactics to finally win.
The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and people often use the method of "stealing beams and changing pillars" to create illusions to confuse the enemy's eyes to achieve a certain purpose that they want to get.
During world war II, Nazi Germany wrote and directed "a good play". At that time, the European battlefield of The Second World War had entered the middle and late stages, and the Germans were no longer as invincible as in the early days of the war, and dared to walk sideways everywhere, because the eastern and western fronts were too long, resulting in various supplies not being able to keep up, and they were already stretched in the face of war.
The already weak Germans, in order to confuse the Air Power of the British, came up with a "blindfold": using wood to build a "wooden airport" that could be faked and real to consume the British ammunition.
The idea is good and bold, but the reality is too harsh. After the completion of the "airport", the Germans began to hype it, which can be described as well-known to women and children.
The British, who were first-rate in intelligence work, must have known, and soon, after the investigation of the British agents, the little cleverness of the Germans was recognized by the British. However, the British saw through but did not say broken, ready to use a British black humor to "fight back" the Germans.
As mentioned above, the overall strength of Germany in the middle and late period of World War II cannot be compared with that of Germany in the early days of World War II. In order to confuse the Allied air strikes, the Germans decided to build this "wooden airfield".
When this wooden airfield was built, almost all the ordnance and soldiers were made of wood and painted to achieve the purpose of confusing the British army.
The Germans believed that when the fighter was on a high-altitude combat mission, it flew at a height very far from the ground to avoid anti-aircraft fire on the ground, so the naked eye of the pilot who was far enough could not see whether the wooden airfield on the ground was true or false.
How could the clever British have simply believed that they had discovered some of these problems through reconnaissance by the Air Force and ground agents, and then gathered the information to the command. After the British think tank saw through the cleverness of the Germans, it decided to humiliate them, so it ordered someone to make a giant wooden bomb.
The British Air Force, on this bombing mission, sent only one fighter, and the fighter deliberately flew low when it reached the wooden airfield, and when it reached the bomb drop point, it dropped the giant wooden bomb.
The Germans were startled, but how could a wooden bomb explode? When the Germans cleaned up the "battlefield", they found that the text on the wooden bomb read: Wood attacks wood. At the time, the German top brass was very angry after learning about this.
Until now, this story has been talked about and ridiculed by the world, which is the brown humor of the British. This interesting episode of World War II became a humorous regulator of the Anglo-German War.
