Hugh Enden Manor

In 1946, World War II entered a stalemate, and the British Cabinet appointed General Arthur Harris as commander of the Royal Air Force Bomber Command. As an advocate of the "bomber victory theory", Harris decided to carry out "intensive bombing" of Germany in the hope of winning the war as soon as he took office

The implementation of an effective air strike required extremely accurate maps as navigation, and Germany stopped issuing new maps as early as 1931. In desperation, while sending mosquito bombers to the skies over Germany to take aerial images of the ground, the headquarters secretly recruited more than 100 excellent surveyors in China, placed them in a secret base, drew a fine map based on the aerial photos, marked the accurate location of the German ammunition depot, railway, dam and other targets, and then provided them to the Royal Air Force.

The secret mapping group was codenamed "Hillside", and the base from which the mapping group was located had always been the primary target of the German army against the British. However, due to the excellent secrecy of British intelligence, the Germans were unable to find out where the drawing team was working until the end of the war.

In fact, not only was Germany kept in the dark, but even in the UK, the real location of the base was firmly guarded as a top military secret until 2005, when it was not declassified to the public. It turned out that the "Mountainside" team's hiding location was at Hughe

- In the basement of a small Victorian red brick building.

After transferring from Magdeburg to Oschersleben, Macknaue hired a horse-drawn carriage outside the station, which cost a lot of marks, but at least saved him the trouble of asking for directions.

Two hours later, it was getting dark, and the scenery on both sides of the road was blurred.

After a jolt, the carriage finally stopped outside two large iron gates.

McNaugh's luggage this time was a leather bag for a change of clothes, which was very light.

He got out of the car with his bag and paid for it, but before he could knock on the big black iron door, someone came to open it with a lamp.

"You are ......"

A female voice came from the door, and two seconds later, the voice excitedly cried out, "Lord Baron is back!" The Baron is back! ”

Himself is a poor baron who deserves the title of adult?

Mike's real identity is Be, Prime Minister of Queen Victoria

Aeli's former home. Disraeli served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in 1868 and 1874 and was the only Prime Minister of Jewish origin in British history. He not only constructed the policy framework of the Conservative Party at home and established the position of the modern Conservative Party in British political life;

and had an important influence in international affairs in the 19th century. It was Disraeli who decisively borrowed money from the Rothschilds and signed a contract to buy a stake in the Suez Canal before parliament approved it. At the Berlin Conference after Russia's victory over the Ottoman Empire, the 74-year-old Disraeli attended with illness and led the LinkedIn delegation to achieve diplomatic victories against Russia, retaining Turkey's territory in Europe, and further establishing his position in world political history.

In 1847, Disraeli bought Hughe

He lived there with his wife until his death at the age of 76 from asthma and gout. Hughe

There are still traces of Disraeli everywhere. Disraeli forged a deep personal friendship with Queen Victoria during his second premiership, in Hughe

You can see many portraits of the queen decorating the walls of various rooms with the queen's gifts, and all the paintings/portraits with the crown on the image frame are gifts from the queen.

The queen also used to come to Hughe

Stay. With only a few days' notice in advance, Disraeli didn't have enough time to prepare, and was a bit of a scramble. For example, a chair in the dining room, because I was afraid that the queen would not be able to reach the ground after sitting on it, and I couldn't wait to customize it, so I had to saw off the four chair legs to deal with it temporarily.

Feeling a little funny in his heart, he quickly saw the source of the voice, it was a middle-aged woman who was not too tall and somewhat blessed, she was dressed very ordinarily, and a half-length apron was tied in front of her, which was a typical image of a working woman servant in this era.

When Mike just got out of the car, there was only one window in the manor that let in the light, and after the maid shouted twice, the lights inside were a little brighter, but it was still not enough for Zhang Hainuo to see the real appearance of the house in the manor.

He didn't expect that his family would have Feng. The Tirpitz house was so grand and ornate that a house with only one butler and two or three servants would not be much bigger.

Following the maid and her glass-covered lamp, Mike walked through the large iron door and headed inside, and soon he saw two more lamps moving towards him.

After his death, Disraeli was buried with his wife, who had died before him, in Hughe

de

A few hundred meters away in the church cemetery. The grief-stricken Queen Victoria, although unable to attend the funeral in person due to ceremonial restrictions, appeared at Disraeli's grave on the fourth day after the funeral and laid a wreath. Afterwards, the queen came to Disraeli's study, dismissed all the entourage, closed the door, and "let me quietly feel his presence". The white marble memorial altar in the church was built for Disraeli by order of the Queen herself.

One carrying the lamp was a man in his thirties, and the other was an old man with white hair.

"Lord Baron, you're back!"

Both of them looked both pleased and respectful when they saw Mike.

"That's great! Baron, you haven't been back since the outbreak of war. To be honest, we're worried about you! ”

This was said by the old white man, and he didn't have to guess to know that he was the housekeeper here.

He hadn't been home for two years, and Mike was surprised that Edwin hadn't mentioned it to himself.

It seems that Mike doesn't care about this home, and perhaps for him, this dilapidated little manor doesn't have much of a sense of home.

Anyway, Mike politely said, "Oh...... I'm so sorry, I'm so busy that I can't find time to come back! ”

"Lord Baron, you naturally have more important things to do in the navy! By the way, we have received both the letters you wrote the year before and last year, and everything has been done according to your instructions! ”

The old man led the way in front of Mike as he spoke, while the maid and the man followed him left and right, reminding Mike of the typical triangular escort formation of a fleet operation.

He had given some instructions before, but he didn't want to ask at this time, just a simple "oh"

snorted.

This manor is indeed not big, and the group came to the main entrance of the main building in a few steps.

It was two open doors, each one one meter wide and more than two meters high, with large door knockers and tin corners nailed to them.

As far as this gate is concerned, Mike thinks it is still very aristocratic!

"Welcome home, Lord Baron!"

Perhaps because the journey was too long and the journey was too tiring, Mike lay in bed and slept until dawn。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

At that time, the German army had relatively excellent weapons and equipment, and the quality of soldiers was much better than that of other countries, so the German army had a natural advantage on the battlefield. On the other hand, a German company has developed a new type of machine that can automatically edit a set of passwords, which is extremely concealed. The machine was low-cost, and it looked like it contained only a few coils in a box, but it made the Allies suffer a lot on the battlefield.

Due to the extremely high security of the ciphers compiled by this equipment, the German army quickly arranged for the manufacturer to produce 30,000 units after inspection, and widely equipped them on battleships. At first, the Allies were completely unable to decipher this code, so in the "Battle of the Atlantic", the war was one-sided for a time. According to statistics, after the advent of this new type of cipher, in 1942 more than a thousand Allied ships were sunk by the Germans. The Allies were at an extreme disadvantage at sea and faced extinction at any time, sometimes having to send a large number of warships and submarines to escort them in order to transport some supplies.

Mike got up and got out of bed, walked to the window and opened the heavy curtains, and the world in front of him was so cheerful!

In the light of the morning sun, the fields in the distance showed a golden yellow that symbolized a good harvest, and there was a small stream nearby, with bridges, mills, and forests.

A sandy dirt road can be faintly seen between the trees, it is not very wide, at most two carriages can be paralleled, this road extends into the distance at one end, and a fork in the road opens at the other end, and the end of the fork in the road is the gate of this manor.

The lawn in front of the house is the size of two standard basketball courts, a gravel path cuts the lawn in half, and some flowers are planted on the edge of the lawn near the fence.

The wooden ceiling and floor, the chandelier with candles, the walls made of large stones, the large fireplace, some paintings with wooden borders, the wardrobe more than one person high, and the furnishings in the room make people feel like they are back in the Middle Ages.

Mike found his shirt and uniform on a hanger near the door, next to which were washbasins, towels, and shaving kits, which had been flushed with water.

Plus the attic, this house has a total of three floors, Zhang Hainuo's room is on the second floor, out of the door and turn left is the stairs leading to the hall, yesterday when he just walked into this house, he almost thought that he was really back to the twelfth century - all the wall lamps and chandeliers here are **candles, wooden floors, large stone walls and the basic structure of the bedroom are not harmful, and can reflect the owner's aristocratic identity, that is, those shields, long swords, The family flag and the ancient armor standing in the corner of the hall are here!

"Lord Baron, you are up!"

Bai Lao changed into a clean black dress today, with a black bow tie on the collar of the white shirt, and what made Mike feel even more exaggerated was that he actually wore a pair of white gloves, which is completely a professional butler who understands aristocratic etiquette very well!

Breakfast was already set on the long wooden table, eggs, bread, small pancakes and milk, but there was only Zhang Hainuo's place.

After enjoying the breakfast alone, he talked to the old butler.
