"You might find this something interesting. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info" An Italian businessman stuffed a few photos in his hand to a man with a bearded face.

The man sat in the corner of the coffee shop, his face very solemn.

He took what was handed over to him and casually looked at it to see some oil drilling equipment stacked on the dock.

"The Italians are going to ship this equipment to North Africa?" The other party frowned and raised his head, and asked with a thick accent.

The Italian merchant nodded, then glanced in the direction of the door, and found no suspicious person, before he spoke: "Yes, a new set of equipment." ”

"New equipment...... They're crazy, the Axis occupation zone doesn't have any oil reserves at all, does it? The bearded man was confused, wondering if this information was really important.

Seeing that the other party did not seem to want this information, the Italian merchant felt that he should make this money, so he said: "It may mean that they have found oil ...... in North Africa."

Hearing the Italian merchant say this, the bearded man was visibly stunned, and then almost sat up from the sofa.

"My God, they found oil fields in North Africa? That's terrible news! He suppressed his voice, barely trying to keep it under control so that it didn't attract the attention of those around him.

"It's just possible, but it seems like it's quite likely......" the Italian pouted.

"Why are you so sure?" The bearded man asked in disbelief.

"If you're not blind...... "The Italian said to the bearded man, looking out the window.

"......" The other party looked out the window, and in the harbor not far away, there were Italian soldiers with bags on their backs, climbing onto a temporary requisitioned ship.

In order to be able to transport the corresponding supplies to Libya as soon as possible, the Italians used a lot of ships, and in fact, in this case, it was completely impossible to keep the Allies secret.

Quite simply, neither Germany nor Italy are maritime powers, and if they want to ship by sea on a large scale, they will definitely requisition a lot of civilian ships.

As long as the Allied spies are not blind, they can quickly find clues, and the secrecy of this thing is similar to celebrity cheating.

What the Axis could do was to run Libya before the British could react, and break through all the obstacles between Libya and Italy.

Mussolini had already reached a consensus with Germany on this point after hearing that the Libyan oil fields were beginning to produce oil and that a second well had been found in succession.

Italy's ports are transporting all kinds of people and supplies to North Africa these days, and there are twice as many planes protecting them as usual.

The rushed supplies include more oil extraction equipment, freshwater treatment equipment, cement and other construction materials, as well as a variety of construction vehicles.

The ships that can be loaded with these things are not too small, so it is impossible to keep the huge ship docked on the dock and loaded with all kinds of personnel and materials.

"Send these requests to the UK as soon as possible, that's what you're going to do now." The Italian merchant said triumphantly to the bearded man.

The bearded man didn't talk much nonsense, slapped a stack of bills on the table, then put away the pictures on the table and walked out of the coffee shop.

He pushed open the door and walked out into the busy street, and before he had gone far, he saw from another bar, some Italian blackshirts pulling an unlucky bastard.

The other party struggled and shouted, "I'm not a spy!" I'm not a spy, let me go! ”

The blackshirts did not have the slightest intention of sparing each other, and they beat and cursed, dragging them through the streets.

The bearded man didn't stop long, he passed by the group and left this dangerous land of right and wrong.

Those people may have caught a real British spy, or they could have caught the wrong bad guy, but it had nothing to do with him, he didn't know the man, and that person couldn't have known him.

"Sir! Give a love to the Navy that sank the Resolve. "A boy with a traditional Italian hat blocked the bearded man's way.

The boy was followed by seven or eight younger children, who were collecting donations from everyone on the street to support the navy in defeating the British.

The fundraiser was launched a few days earlier, after a wise and decisive attack by leader Benito Mussolini saw the Navy sink the enemy's battleship Resolve.

This victory was used by Mussolini as the focus of propaganda, and the image of the heroic and fearless Italian Navy was established, which countless young people yearn for.

"Uh...... I'm sorry for this...... I don't have any change. The bearded man smiled sheepishly, and under his arm was a worn-out briefcase, which no one would suspect contained money or anything important.

"Sir! Donate some! "The little boy didn't give up, but he came out with the support of the Black Shirts.

The bearded man wanted to refuse, but he saw two blackshirts patrolling with batons in the distance, so he had no choice but to take money out of his pocket.

Afraid of attracting the attention of the Blackshirts, he quickly took out two smaller bills from his wallet and stuffed them into the donation box that the boy was holding.

God knows what it's like to donate money to build more warships for your enemies and fight your homeland. The bearded man swore that it was not a pleasant taste.

"Thank you!" The little boy nodded politely, finally letting go of the bearded man who was about to collapse.

Watching these children leave, the bearded heart finally fell to the ground. He was a spy with a dual identity and was active in Italy...... Any fright will make him lose his life.

At the same time, not only in Italy, but also in the German occupation zone, as well as in Germany itself, there were spies who discovered the problem and sent the information back to the British mainland.

The intelligence is very clear, the Germans and Italians are looking for oil specialists, and German chemical companies are even already producing new equipment lines.

At least five large oil extraction units will be sent to Italy, which also proves that the Axis powers seem to have discovered oil resources in a certain area in the Mediterranean.

This is definitely not good news for the UK. Or rather, the news that any of the Axis powers were growing was not good news for Britain.

"Sir, our internal self-examination is not over yet...... It's not a good time to make hasty decisions. One of his men was in his office, trying to persuade Churchill.

Churchill was also embarrassed, he knew that if he acted rashly now, he might be sent out by German spies.

Churchill was also helpless about this spy who could know the whereabouts of the H Fleet.

This guy is like a ghost, and it's impossible to find it. After all, Churchill was not stupid enough to doubt his own naval commander.

There were no more than 10 people in the British hierarchy who knew about the whole catapult plan, and Churchill knew that it was impossible for these people to betray the British Empire.

Even among these people there were no political opponents, they were Churchill's most identified supporters and advocates.

If even these people can't be trusted, Churchill will be alone. This is also what he wondered: how did the enemy know about the plans of the trebuchet of the H fleet.

Throughout the Navy Command, all the staff were quarantined and reviewed, even the maids who swept the floor and the workers who cleaned the glass.

What is frustrating is that this examination is useless except to break the hearts of many people, and they have not even found a single suspicious figure.

Under these circumstances, even knowing that the Germans were doing something about oil in Italy, Churchill would not be able to respond effectively.

Let the H fleet go to Italy again? Sink those damn transports? This decision is expected to be rejected by Somerville: the failure of the last operation, the problem has not yet been identified, and then let the fleet go up to die?

Churchill also knew that he could not afford to lose any more battleships...... If he loses more warships, then he will lose important naval supremacy in the Mediterranean.

"How can it not be found? Haven't you ruled out a damn password leak? Churchill asked, looking at his men, a little annoyed.

His subordinates were obviously also depressed, and this kind of work to investigate themselves was not a good job: "Sir, MI has tried at least 30 suspects, but they are all normal. ”

"They're all normal? That means that I, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, am not normal? Churchill asked hatefully.

In fact, he had heard that the people below were angry and said that Somerville and Churchill were two people who shirked their responsibilities and blamed the failure on the spurious spy leaks.

This statement has become more credible after several days of censorship without finding any suspicious figures.

That's why Churchill asked so rhetorically, he was already a little angry, and he couldn't care about his face: "Keep checking!" ”

"Wait!" A second before his men went out, Churchill thought about North African oil: "We can't do nothing!" The Germans must be prevented from gaining more oil resources! ”

"What can we do? Sir? His men asked rhetorically, leaving Churchill a little speechless.

"Let's say, let's say we make a fake document in the office! Say that we are ready to attack the Italians in Libya! The more Churchill spoke, the more he felt that he was right.

As he spoke, he finally had some smiles on his face: "Yes! That's right! That's it! Lure the enemy's spy to take the bait, and even if we can't catch him, we can send a fake message to the Germans! ”

"Yes! I'm going to prepare! The officer saluted, and then left Churchill's office.
