Chapter 147: Playing Around
"Woo. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info"The front of the steam locomotive, the whistle sounded, and the wheels of the locomotive slowly moved in the sound of whirring steam.
This particular train is moving!
There are a total of ten carriages, and on each carriage, there are more than a dozen soldiers of the international column guarding, and in their hands, the guns they are holding are quite special, the wooden butt, the front magazine, but it has become a round cake-shaped thing, and the front barrel has a lot of heat dissipation holes.
Their eyes are quite sharp, and they look like the elite of a hundred battles.
The internal guard of the Soviets! They are now dressed in the clothes of an international column and have come to Madrid, there is no interest at all in coming to participate in the battles here, they have only one task, to protect these cargoes, to safely transfer them to the ship!
In addition to the fighters in each carriage, the last one is a flatbed, and here there is a team of fighters with loaded guns, and on the outside of the flatbed, a pile of sandbags is piled up, and in the middle of the flatbed, a 25-mm anti-aircraft gun is erected.
Yes, it's anti-aircraft artillery, this is a temporary decision to install it, they are quite concerned about this operation, in all aspects, and strive to do the best.
In the middle carriage, a man with a grim face smoked a cigarette silently.
"Report, the train has left the station, no abnormality has been found for the time being, and there are also soldiers of our international column along the way, who are responsible for guarding." A deputy said to him.
Alexander Orlov, a high-ranking officer of the USSR State Security Service, the head of the Spanish territory of this escort of gold, did not dare to be careless at this time.
"Let our people, watch along the way, and the train will also change its route from time to time." Alexander said.
Originally, there was no need to be so vigilant, the Spanish government was responsible for transporting the gold to the port, and then the Soviet Union received it, loaded it back to the Soviet Union, it was as simple as that.
However, who would have thought that the intelligence from the inside line, the Germans, actually knew their own gold transportation plan, especially the route of the Mediterranean, clearly explained.
In an instant, Moscow became nervous, and after discussion, they decided to start protecting the gold along the way from the warehouse, and there must be no accidents on the territory of Spain!
When they arrived at the port and loaded the cargo ships, there would be Soviet warships to escort them, unless the Germans were going to tear their faces and engage at sea, otherwise they would not want to touch the gold!
Now, the biggest concern is the safety on land, so much gold, car transportation is impossible, only trains, in case the Germans plant explosives on the tracks, so that the train cannot run, and then come over and rush up, it is still possible to succeed.
Nothing can go wrong!
"When you get to the station in front of you, change direction and head south." Looking at the railway network in Spain, Alexander said.
The railway that leads directly to the port here may not be safe anymore, so just take a detour, first to the south, then to the northwest!
In order to prevent air raids by the Germans, they deployed anti-aircraft artillery, and in order to prevent the Germans from sabotaging the railway, they sent additional manpower and changed the course of action, and the Germans could not find themselves.
When it comes to intelligence work, the Germans are just a piece of.
In the stuffy tanker, the air is getting dirtier and dirtier, and Alexander, still smoking one cigarette after another, is the only way to keep him awake.
There can be no mistakes! Do you want to go east and shoot a shot? Well, gotta do some research.
………
"They have already left from the Madrid station." Reinhardt took his eyes off the binoculars: "This place can be removed, let's go to the port of Cape Barres." ”
"Major Reinhardt, are you so sure?" The assistant on the side asked.
This assistant, who had been lurking in Spain, was now summoned to follow Reinhardt's orders, and he was very puzzled by Reinhardt's arrangement.
Now that the train has been watched departing, it is time to send someone along the way to see where the train ends up, but now, Reinhardt has set his destination directly at Cape Barres, a port in northwestern Spain.
"Of course it is." Reinhardt said, "We do things with our brains. ”
Use your brains! As long as you think about it, you should know that only such a port is the most suitable choice.
According to Ciric, these Soviets originally planned to go to the southern port of Cartagena, but when the news was released to the Soviets, the Soviets would definitely not do so again.
Although it was close to the Mediterranean, it faced more variables, and the Germans knew it, which meant that Franco knew it, and now Franco's army was attacking fiercely in the south, and if they knew such news, they would have immediately turned around and pounced on these ports.
Although the port is still in the hands of the international column, this will also increase the instability of transportation, and they will definitely try to be safe.
So, the ports in the south, the Soviets would not have considered, what about the ports in the north of Spain? Originally, these ports were possible, but in the north of Spain, the Cantabrian Mountains stretch endlessly, and the danger of trains traveling in the mountains undoubtedly increased, so that the Soviets were left with only the most suitable port in the northwest.
Cape Barres. Apart from here, did the Soviets have any options?
Or General Shirek is the smartest, with just one strategy, he drew a big circle for the actions of the Soviets, although the Soviets are now bluffing back and forth, but the final destination is only one!
The Soviets, who seem to be smart, are actually stupid, this train is very well defended, even anti-aircraft guns, and in the whole of Spain, there is only one such car.
So, as long as you are at the port, waiting for this train to come in, you know that they are going to be loaded.
If the Soviets had been smarter and had made three or five identical trains and run around Spain, they would have had to spend a lot of time on their own brains, and now it would be an insult to their own intelligence.
Go to Cape Barres and wait for the Soviets to go.
It's a pity that you can't do it on land. And General Ciric's arrangement was simply watertight, and he succeeded in playing the Soviets around.
If the Soviets really use their brains, they should know that if Germany wants to do it, it will definitely not be on land, even if it is confident that it can grab it, it will not have the confidence to take away all this gold, hundreds of tons, the first task they took over, it is so important, they must complete this task beautifully enough!
