Chapter 474: Looking for Kolbe
Chapter 474:
A German known as a lone spy, whose full name is Fritz Kolbe, is actually known as the greatest super spy of the 20th century, Kolbe, and there is no one, so you can imagine how deep this person lurked in the government of Nazi Germany.
The other is Dasco Popov, known as Merry 007, a Yugoslav, the most famous double agent of World War II, the prototype of James Bond in the movie "007".
It is not easy for Xiao Mubai to find these two people, and it is even more difficult to gain their trust, but even so, the news still has to be spread, in case the allied command believes that it will really send troops in the end.
It is not difficult to find Kolbe, Xiao Mubai remembers that he once read a book about the ten ace spies of World War II, which clearly recorded information about Kolbe, such as his current work in the German Foreign Office.
Fritz Kolbe, the number one spy who ended World War II early.
For reasons of secrecy, for more than 50 years after the end of World War II, people had no idea that there was such a great spy, and it was not until the CIA, the FBI, and the US State Department declassified 1,600 top-secret intelligence files that the greatest spy of World War II surfaced.
He was lurking in the German Foreign Office, and did not know when he entered the German Foreign Office until 1943, when he established contact with the US Office of Strategic Service, the predecessor of the CIA, as an anti-Nazi, and began a two-year spy career.
Until the end of World War II, it provided a lot of military intelligence to the Allied forces, such as the development process of the V-2 rocket of Nazi Germany, the plot of Nazi Germany to invade Greece, the deployment of the Japanese army, the inside story of the Dublin espionage case, the smuggling of military goods from Spain to Nazi Germany, the secret interrogation of captured Allied pilots by the Nazis in Hungary, the tragedy of the Nazi Holocaust, and so on.
The identity of this person was not declassified until the eve of the new century, and no outsider had ever known his identity before, even the Nazi Gestapo did not know, so it can be said that it was extremely hidden, and Xiao Mubai could imagine how frightened he would be when he appeared in front of Kolbe.
The first choice is Kolbe, and the second choice is Popov.
Kolbe was a stone's throw away from Xiao Mubai, on the side of the French Strasse in Berlin's Mitte district, at the German Foreign Office on the banks of the River Spree, and Xiao Mubai was no stranger to it, and he also had the help of his brother Hefel.
But for Popov, Xiao Mubai is difficult to be sure, for many reasons.
Popov committed himself to the "wolf's den" of the Nazis, risking all kinds of risks for the Allied victory, and achieved great success. But his current location is not in Berlin, and Xiao Mubai doesn't know exactly where he is, so it's hard to find him.
Popov's range of activities is so wide that compared to Kolbe's Berlin in Germany and Bern in Switzerland, his whereabouts are almost certain between two points and one line, unlike the double spy Popov, who was also recruited by German intelligence agencies, his whereabouts are uncertain.
It is very difficult for Xiao Mubai to find Popov, first of all, the German intelligence agencies have been keeping a close eye on him, as long as Xiao Mubai spreads the information that he is looking for Popov and looking for an agent, even if it is spread in a small area, it will be known by the Military Intelligence Bureau and even the Gestapo.
Then, it's a routine interrogation or even torture, what are you a low-ranking officer in the reserve looking for an agent for, and what is your motive? Are you a spy for the Allies?
And so on, do not doubt the capabilities of the Military Intelligence Service and the Gestapo, whose power should not be underestimated within the limits of the German garrison, within the scope of the widespread radiating influence of the Third Reich, not to mention that this is at the heart of the government of Nazi Germany in Berlin.
And Kolbe is much safer, he is too obscure.
Xiao Mubai made a detailed plan, and then after some preparations, he went to the German Foreign Office next to the Boulevard de France, where the current German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop was the immediate boss of Heinrich's eldest brother Hefel.
Ribbentrop's work during the war was mainly twofold: to get the Axis allies Italy and Japan to enter the war according to Germany's intentions, and to direct German propaganda abroad, but he did very hard but did little.
As a result, the German Foreign Office was always in an awkward position, with Hitler's mouthpiece externally and Goebbels' propaganda department competing internally, and Ribbentrop was considered incompetent, even though he held the post of German Foreign Minister for seven years.
Hefer worked in the Military Industry Liaison Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he was previously Commercial Counselor in the United States, and now he is a liaison officer of the Foreign Office.
Like the current liaison officer of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Hefel, he doesn't know what he does, Hefer has said before that he is now in charge of the military industrial system, such as the Krupp Arsenal, the Czech Skoda Arsenal, the Herstal National Arsenal in Liege, Belgium, the Chartreau Arsenal in France, and so on.
In fact, most of the military industry liaison offices of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are concerned with the military industrial system of the occupying country, but in this respect, it also conflicts with the work of the Minister of Military Industry Speer.
Xiao Mubai couldn't change this, and he didn't want to change this, so he came to find Hefel, and asked Kolbe, who worked in another department, the Wehrmacht Liaison Office, to come out, but he didn't know if he was in Berlin.
Because of his work at the National Defense Force's Tsosen headquarters, Xiao Mubai had easy access to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the guards let him enter the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building without much inspection.
He did not go to Hefel first, but looked around, looking for the Wehrmacht Liaison Office.
I have to say that the German government departments are very strange, as far as the Foreign Office is concerned, the Wehrmacht Liaison Office, which is responsible for the liaison and communication between the Foreign Office and all the armed forces of the Nazis, the liaison officer has access to all the battle plans, knows about the movement of troops, the actions of the Nazi Luftwaffe, the secret warfare of submarines and the actions of the German occupation forces throughout Europe,
The affairs of the army are exposed to the outside world so much that the Wehrmacht may be pitted by its own teammates anywhere, which is actually very aggrieved by the Wehrmacht, but who made the Foreign Office Ribbentrop, this Nazi die-hard member trusted by Hitler.
Kolbe's job as a spy was to send all the important documents submitted by the Wehrmacht through the Foreign Office to the Allied U.S. Strategic Service Office.
This channel is very important to Xiao Mubai, if he can directly talk to the top level of the US government, he believes that the other party is also unwilling to give up the opportunity of Operation Valkyrie, which is crucial.
"What are you looking for, young man?" The voice that suddenly appeared from behind made Xiao Mubai turn around quickly.
