Chapter 476: On the eve of the assassination
Chapter 476:
Admiral Baker's handwritten letter, this is naturally forged by Xiao Mubai, but does it matter?
With Kolbe, as well as Gilad Meyer, the liaison officer of the US Office of Strategic Service in Berne, Switzerland, behind him, and even the owner of the Office of Strategic Service, Mr. Dono, they would have the audacity to ask the German Admiral Beck for confirmation.
Would they have gone directly to Admiral Baker's office, claiming that they were the Office of Strategic Service, to find out whether Admiral Baker had participated in and led a black band that was carrying out an assassination operation against Hitler and the Nazi Party?
And Admiral Baker, too, foolishly believed that it was indeed an American on the other side, confessed to the incident.
The Americans would not be so rash, and even did not need to ask Admiral Beck for confirmation of this matter, they only needed to impress the spies lurking inside the German Defense Agency and inquire about Valkyrie's operation, as for the question of whether to participate in the operation.
Is there still less bombing carried out by the Allies against Germany, and another carpet bombing of the wolf's den will not consume a few base of explosives, so many explosives, where is it not used.
In the end, if this is true, if the Germans killed Hitler in infighting, can World War II end early, and if there is no need to sacrifice the precious lives of hundreds of thousands of young people in the United States?
Therefore, Xiao Mubai is full of confidence in this.
But Kolbe didn't think so, when Xiao Mubai said this to him, Kolbe almost thought it was a fantasy, just kidding, someone in the Wehrmacht would assassinate Hitler, is it April Fool's Day?
Just now I was shocked that my identity was discovered by the German soldiers, and the next moment, Kolbe's heart was filled with an extreme sense of absurdity, even if the person in front of him took out Admiral Beck's handwritten letter, Kolbe did not trust it, is it difficult to forge a letter?
In this way, even if the letter was genuine, Admiral Beck would have really participated in and organized this assassination operation, and this was not a drama directed and acted by Hitler?
However, Kerber was deeply shocked by the identity of Gilad Meyer, the liaison officer in Bern, Switzerland, as well as the identity of Mr. Dono, the strategic service office in the far side, and the identity of the American spy on Friday.
No one will know his true identity except the Americans, and now that someone knows, who else but the Americans themselves?
A German spy whose identity can be casually told to an agent of the US government? Any agent can know about it, and he himself doesn't know how many people know his identity, how many people will reveal his identity, and the life of a German spy is so low?
At this moment, Kolbe's heart was full of anger against the Americans, but he could not do anything but suppress his anger, at least for now, he still worked for them, and they were still his employers.
"Well, I can tell Mr. Girard that you can go, you are not welcome here." Kolbe looked at Xiao Mubai coldly, and mercilessly ordered the eviction.
Xiao Mubai did not know that Kolbe's anger came from the Americans, and he thought that Kolbe was because he pointed a pistol at him, or forcibly entered his home without telling him, broke into his study, and even revealed the secret of his identity.
"I'll go. Finally, sir, please, make sure the documents are delivered. This is a request from an anti-fascist fighter, for which we have sacrificed three comrades, please be sure to pass it on to Mr. Girard, for which I will be grateful. Xiao Mubai solemnly bowed to Colbe.
"I will." Colbe was succinct.
After acting to the end, after doing all this, Xiao Mubai walked out of Kolbe's study, slid along the railing outside the window to the first floor, and disappeared from Kolbe's sight in the vast night.
This day is July 13th, less than a week before July 20th.
After doing this, Xiao Mubai was ready to look for Popov, but he happened to hear the news at the headquarters of Tsosen that an intelligence officer named Popov was killed in Lisbon during a secret police operation in mid-May, and his body was missing.
It is difficult for Xiao Mubai to confirm the authenticity of this news, but it is true that he can't find Popov, at least not now.
The operation of the secret police means that the identity of Popov, a double agent, has been exposed, and if he lives and escapes the pursuit of the Gestapo, he will not show up in Germany and the German-occupied areas in the future, and Xiao Mubai will certainly not be able to find him again.
The other is that Popov is really as reported by the Gestapo, he was killed, and of course Xiao Mubai can't find him.
With the urine nature of the Gestapo, if Popov did escape, they would most likely cover up the failure of their operation with the news that they had been killed and their bodies were missing. But even if he is alive and not in Germany, Popov, Xiao Mubai is still of no use.
This is where the matter comes to an abrupt end, but fortunately, Kolbe is still relatively powerful.
One day on July 15th, Colonel Stauffenberg came to Xiao Mubai and said to him in his office: "I have drawn up a new plan of action, and I have explained to Steve that he has promised to carry out this operation in the Wolf's Den in my place, and that I will remain in Berlin to command the reserves." ”
"Great." Xiao Mubai, who heard the news, almost jumped up, even if Hitler was not killed in the explosion, and Colonel Stauffenberg staged a military coup in Berlin, there was half a chance of success in the end.
And if Hitler died, the government of Nazi Germany was overthrown, almost doomed.
"But there's one more problem." Colonel Stauffenberg was not very optimistic, he raised his hand to calm Xiao Mubai, and continued, "There is no Steve among the participants in this military meeting. That is, even if Steve entered the wolf's den, he would not be able to approach Hitler by entering the conference room with a bomb. ”
Of course, Xiao Mubai understood what he meant, the bomb could not be brought into the conference room, and it could not be near Hitler's body, which was tantamount to useless work, and Hitler would still be intact at that time.
Although Colonel Steve is an officer of the Wehrmacht, he is not in the reserve system, he is only temporarily suspended from work due to injury, and this status is completely unable to enter the conference room to participate in the meeting, the status of the colonel is too low, and the general may be possible.
"Colonel, you can't elevate Steve to the rank of rank, and you can't have Steve go in your place, but you can make a proposal to Field Marshal Witzleben, Admiral Beck, Admiral Hepner and have Colonel Steve accompany you. As long as you don't get on the plane and use the excuse of illness, it won't be difficult to suggest to the Wolf's Den that Colonel Steve attend the meeting instead of you. ”
Xiao Mubai thought about it for a while, and quickly thought of a solution.
"That's really a solution. Heinrich, you are so smart! Colonel Stauffenberg nodded.
Time flies, seven days are fleeting, and in a blink of an eye, July 20 has arrived, and it is time for the final ruling.
