"The confession seems logical, but I know that Lamu must have been withholding some information from me." There was pride in Jürgen's eyes.

"I've dealt with career criminals who are hundreds of times more cunning than him, and this little trick is not worth talking about. None of his confessions were lies, and he knew that we could tell the truth from the false, so he used a little trick to cover up the other with one truth. And what he tried so hard to cover up was obviously more important than what he confessed. What was it that made him willing to bear the responsibility for the murder of the German pilot, and to try to hide it? Jürgen looked at Randolph.

"I don't know, Major, but I'm sure whatever he's hiding is no longer a secret now." Randolph calmly picked up the coffee cup.

"You're right, Lieutenant Colonel Randolph" Jürgen looked at Randolph who pretended to be profound, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, he really deserved to be the person who followed the Führer.

"The wisdom of the Führer is something you can grasp." Randolph, who succeeded in quoting the Führer's quotes, had a smug smile on his face.

"If I had been working in the Gestapo, I would never have tolerated a suspect playing these tricks in front of me. But now that I'm under the command of the Eye of Odin, everything must be done exactly according to the rules, so I chose to give him another chance. Of course, some small punishments are necessary, and we must protect the honor of the SS and not allow anyone to trample on it. There was a smell of blood in Jürgen's words, and Randolph nodded in agreement.

The SS is the representative of the authority of the Führer, and it is the duty of every member of the SS to maintain the honor of the SS at all times. As for how Lamu's actions were related to the honor of the SS, Randolph couldn't figure it out, but what did it matter, Randolph wasn't prepared to waste his precious brain cells on it.

"Did he finally confess?" The SS lieutenant colonel picked up a small biscuit from the glass pan, and then gracefully stretched out his finger and flicked off the crumbs that had fallen on the placket.

"Yes, he is not the kind of person who has a strong will, and perhaps he once had, but he has also been consumed by all these years of pleasure. In order to avoid further suffering, he finally told me and Pan everything he knew," Jürgen replied with a smile.

The secret that Lamu wanted to cover up was that the murder of Captain Horn was not an idea he had on the fly, he was just following orders. The purpose of the other side is obvious, that is, to provoke contradictions between Germany and Britain. Although Ensign Horn did not have a high rank, he was subordinate to the Imperial High Command, and Wavell's Theater Command was willing to give orders specifically for him, which was enough to prove his special status. If Captain Horn were to be killed in Egypt, it would certainly cause concern and displeasure on our side. Jürgen said.

"In fact, from the moment he received the order, Lamu's fate was already sealed, no matter what the final result was, it was impossible for him to continue to keep his identity, but it was ridiculous that he was in the game, but he never saw this fact." The SS major took his coffee.

"So who gave him this order?" Randolph twisted a honey-stained olive.

"Have you heard of the Brotherhood of the Holy City?" Jürgen reached out and flipped through a page of the paper.

"What organization? I've never heard of this name. Randolph frowned and licked his sticky fingers.

"It's not surprising that this organization has not been around for a long time, and its core members are all strong Ikhwan believers, and it is said that their headquarters are located in the holy place of religion in Mecca, so the organization is named the Brotherhood of Al-Quds." Jürgen dotted on the map.

"Lamu's drug trafficking network has a close working relationship with the Quds Brotherhood, and there is evidence that this organization is even directly involved in smuggling, providing caravans for transporters and providing security for smuggling in their sphere of influence. This encompasses all of Saudi Arabia, the southern border area of Iraq and parts of Transjordania and the Palestinian territories. And Lamu confirmed that the group is preparing to develop members in Egypt, and that these people want to do more than just popularize the teachings. "Jürgen drew a circle on the Arabian Peninsula on the map.

"Lamu is sure that the order given to him by his superiors must have something to do with the Holy City Brotherhood."

"Why are these people targeting us Germans? This region is not our sphere of influence. Randolph looked at the map puzzled.

"These men are not directed against us, lieutenant colonel, they are directed against the British, and the purpose of murdering the German officers is to make trouble for the British." Jürgen patiently explained.

"Do they have a contradiction with the British? This Holy City Brotherhood. Randolph lifted the coffee pot and shook it, then gestured to the orderly standing aside.

"Another pot of coffee." The lieutenant colonel commanded.

"Wait a minute, Lieutenant Colonel." The orderly turned and walked out of the office.

"This, if my judgment is correct, this organization must have the support of the Kingdom behind it." Jürgen replied.

"Kingdom of Saudi Arabia? I think they were allies with the British. Randolph tilted his head in recall.

"This relationship ended twenty years ago, and now the relationship between the two sides can be said to be quite bad." Jürgen replied.

The relationship between Saudi Arabia and the British Empire can be used as a realistic commentary on the phrase "each with its own ghosts". In the early days of Saudi Arabia, he tried every possible way to establish ties with the powerful British Empire, and repeatedly sent envoys to meet with British diplomats in the Middle East to ask for asylum from the British Empire. Ibn Saud's humble and respectful attitude at that time touched all the British diplomats who had seen him, and they also proposed to the British cabinet to establish diplomatic relations with Saudi Arabia and accept this unusually obedient little brother.

However, in the whole decade, the British government has changed twice, and the proposal to establish diplomatic relations with Saudi Arabia has not been approved by parliament once. The reason is very simple, at that time, the Arabian Peninsula was barren, the power of Saudi Arabia was just starting, and it only controlled one city in its hands, so how could it be regarded by the British parliamentarians who were high up in the world.

Another point is that the Persian Gulf region was not the British sphere of influence at that time, they only focused on the land communication line to India, and the Saudi-controlled Najd region was located in the heart of the Arabian Peninsula, which had no strategic value in the eyes of the British, and the more important reason was that the British were worried that receiving the younger brother in the Persian Gulf region would irritate the Ottoman Turks.

But things changed with the outbreak of World War I, and Saudi Arabia was no longer an insignificant Middle Eastern country in the eyes of Britain, but became an important player in upsetting the balance of power in the Middle East. In order to prevent Saudi Arabia from falling to Turkey due to pressure, Britain and Saudi Arabia signed the "Linda Treaty", which formally included Saudi Arabia in the protection of the British Empire, and began to provide comprehensive economic and military support to Saudi Arabia.

The British had a very good calculation, they wanted the Saudis to fight the power of the Ottoman Empire in the Middle East, and even led a great Arab national uprising to completely shake the Turkish rule in the Middle East.

During the four years of World War I, Saudi Arabia received a large amount of material and economic support from the British, and pulled up an elite army armed with modern weapons, but caused only minor problems for Turkey.

By the end of the bloody World War I, the British Empire was greatly damaged in the war, and the glory of the empire on which the sun never set gradually faded. Taking advantage of the weakening influence of the British Empire in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia, which had become stronger with British assistance, turned its guns on its neighbors and launched a series of wars of expansion.

Saudi forces, armed with modern weapons and religious beliefs, won successive battles on the peninsula and soon took over most of the Arabian Peninsula. This, of course, alarmed the British, who were dissatisfied with Saudi Arabia's wanton attempt to break peace in the Middle East, began to suppress Saudi Arabia's development in all ways in an attempt to curb the country's frenzied expansion.

The Saudis, however, had always regarded the British warnings as a sign of weakness and did not take the British Empire into account, and finally forced the British to send troops directly and expel the Saudi militia forces that were approaching the Mecca area.

Since then, former allies have turned against each other. Although Britain tried its best to suppress the rise of Saudi Arabia, the British Empire was not as powerful as before, and Saudi Arabia used the power of religion to flourish in the Middle East, turning over several major feuds in succession and occupying large areas of territory.

In 1927, Britain and Saudi Arabia signed the Treaty of Jeddah, and Saudi Arabia was no longer protected by Britain and gained an independent status in the world.
