It took less than three hours from the time the body was found to the time the briefcase was taken away by the British Consulate.

At first glance it was a very common thing, the body was found, and then Spain did what a neutral country should do, and returned the body and the briefcase to England.

But there is an undercurrent of wind and ......

Of course, the briefcase was opened, but it was opened carefully and left no traces, because Spain was a neutral country, and it should not have been involved in any intelligence or military-related matters between belligerents, and the contents of this briefcase were obviously certainly of intelligence value, and the question was only the size of the value.

After opening the briefcase, the people in the Spanish naval office could not help but be surprised when they saw the contents, because one of the documents revealed that the British attack on Sicily was only a feint, and its real goal was to attack Greece, then Romania to the north and Italy to the west...... This is almost exactly the same as the analysis of the generals in Rommel's command.

Personnel from the Spanish office hurriedly reported to the naval command.

Because considering that the delay in time would arouse the suspicion of the British Consulate...... As mentioned earlier, if the British side realizes that the briefcase has been opened, this information will be of no value, because the British will change their battle plan, and the target of their attack will not be determined.

The Navy Command immediately ordered the British Consulate to be notified and photographed the documents in the briefcase, including the body and the contents of the clothes.

The people at the British Consulate knew nothing about this, and in fact they really didn't know anything...... Because they didn't know that this was a trap set by MI5 for the Germans, they just received a message from the British military: "You must keep the secret of the briefcase and get the briefcase as soon as possible!" ”

So, the performance of the British Consulate is real.

At the same time, because they are not professional intelligence officers, they do not know that the briefcase has been opened when they are not aware of the flaws at the time of acceptance.

When the briefcase was handed over to MI5, the intelligence officers carefully flipped through the most important documents...... Realizing that the little black powder left in the page was gone, he knew that his plan was half successful.

Some of the details are so thoughtful that it's hard to believe.

For example, MI5 chose Spain because they knew that although Spain was ostensibly a neutral country, because Hitler had helped the Spanish Führer Franco win the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), Spain had always maintained friendly relations with Germany, and would definitely report to Germany secretly if major information was discovered.

The town of Huelva was chosen because there were many German spies, as well as British spies, which not only helped the Germans to obtain information, but also helped the British to know what was going on.

In order not to make the autopsy too thorough and find anything, MI5 people hung a St. Christopher amulet on the corpse so that the Spaniards would mistake the unfortunate Major Martin for a Catholic.

The Spaniard, who was a Catholic, was reluctant to "bother" him too much out of respect for his religion, so he was buried after a hasty examination...... The corpse recovered by MI5 had died of rat poisoning, most likely because he was hungry and had accidentally ingested a poisoned rat while looking for food. (Note: This is different from the death from pneumonia and fluid accumulation in the lungs uploaded on the Internet)

It was given the name "Martin" because German spies had a list of almost all naval officers starting with the letters A to L, and "Martin" was starting with M.

……

Other things are fake Major Martin's life, such as having a newly engaged fiancée, bank overdrafts, etc., which are relatively simple.

The MI5 men did everything perfectly, so the intelligence was soon as they had imagined, and the Spaniards revealed it to the Germans, who sent it to Berlin as if they had found it...... German intelligence even believed that the British were not aware of the leaks, so the information was valuable, i.e., the British would continue to follow the plan.

Of course, Qin Chuan at this time didn't know these ...... In fact, he already knew this, and he even knew that MI5 had revealed several flaws in the operation, but these flaws were ignored by German intelligence for various reasons.

From this point of view, the German intelligence services are still much younger than the old spy country of Britain.

Qin Chuan was staring at the "rumbling" drilling well...... Yesterday he had already heard from Professor Buckhouse that Well No. 3 had been drilled to 2,100 meters because of the smooth process.

This depth was about to hit the oil, which made Qin Chuan a little nervous, and he couldn't help but think: What if he remembered wrong? Or what if there is an accident and you don't get oil?

If oil could not be found, then everything in Algeria could be said to be in vain, and even attracted a large number of Allied troops in North Africa...... The Afrika Korps now faces at least four or five times the strength of the Allied forces, and the number of Allied fighters and bombers has increased dramatically to more than 1,000, which has reached an overwhelming numerical advantage.

At this moment, the drill pipe slowly rose, and then the drill pipe was dismantled section by section.

"What's going on?" Qin Chuan asked.

"It's time to change the drill, Captain!" Hans, covered in mud, replied.

Qin Chuan shook his head and sighed, It's really a good thing to grind, change the drill bit at this time...... However, Hans and the others didn't know that they were about to hit the oil at this time, so it was understandable.

Drill pipe generally has about nine meters per section, more than 2,000 meters is more than 200 drill pipes, when replacing the drill bit, you need to disassemble while rising, and then put down and install the drill bit at the same time, the whole process takes at least a few hours.

So Qin Chuan was bored and leaned back on the recliner and covered his face with a newspaper to take a nap.

I don't know how long it took, Qin Chuan heard Hans shout in surprise in a daze: "Professor, you should come and have a look!" ”

Qin Chuan woke up in a daze, and saw the exploration members gathering towards Well No. 3 from all directions, Qin Chuan seemed to realize something, and turned over and stood up and walked towards Well No. 3 with a grunt.

"Captain!" Colonel Buckhouse looked at Qin Chuan who was walking with a handful of black gravel and said, "We're going to be lucky!" ”

"It's a layer of sand and oil, Captain!" Hans excitedly explains: "The oil is full and the smell is strong, which means that we are not far from the oil field!" ”

"Are you sure?" Qin Chuan looked at Professor Buckhouse.

Professor Buckhouse nodded and replied affirmatively, "Yes, I'm sure!" ”

At this time, Qin Chuan's hanging heart was completely let go, and there was a cheer around!
