Extinction Chapter 47: Black Christmas

.“ Indian? ”

After listening to the report of the captain of the Guards in front of him, Chen Tian and Matthew looked at each other.

"Yes, Your Majesty! Based on their facial features and skin color, we preliminarily judged that they were ...... Indian! The captain officer on duty replied very earnestly that just a quarter of an hour earlier his patrol had captured six intruders less than two kilometers from the Olaf Palace, and that after a brief hearing of the situation, the captain felt the seriousness of the situation and hurried back on horseback to report the situation, while his soldiers escorted the intruders back to the palace.

With Germany's diplomatic relations with other countries at this time, it led such a "break-in operation" behind the scenes

There will not be a second country. Chen Tian sighed lightly, and explained to himself:

"It's no wonder that the Japanese have been ruling the East Indies for twelve years, and it's not surprising that they have cultivated several groups of Indian spies, or agents! Indian...... Indians ......"

Matthew on the side also came in, "After the war between our country and Japan, people with a purely oriental face will inevitably attract attention, and it is a good way to use Indians!" No wonder I said that I haven't found a few Orientals in Berlin lately, I see! ”

Chen Tian paced back and forth in a small area, and soon suddenly stopped and asked the officer, "When will the interrogation take place?" ”

The captain's chest was held high, "Back to Your Majesty, when the soldiers escort them back, the surprise interrogation will begin immediately!" ”

"Who will conduct the interrogation?" Chentian's words are asked by Matthew.

"Usually the officer on duty or the interrogator is in charge, or a special officer is assigned!" Matthew replied in accordance with the provisions of the regulations, and then asked rhetorically: "What instructions does Your Majesty have?" ”

"Well, ask about their intentions and accomplices as soon as possible, I want to know what other plots they have, the sooner the better!" Chen Tian resumed his pacing just now, but stopped again after ten steps, "In this case, let's go and see the situation together." What do you think? ”

Although Chen Tian was in an inquiring tone, Matthew replied in a tone of obedience: "Okay, Your Majesty! ”

When there are subordinates present, even Matthew, who has a deep personal relationship with Chentian, also abides by the etiquette and rules between the monarch and the minister.

Ten minutes later, Tatsuten and Matthew arrived at a guard barracks on the east side of the palace, and the six captured intruders were quickly brought in by heavily armed soldiers.

"That's good!" When he saw a man dressed in black and with a yellowish brown complexion escorted into the interrogation room with his hands tied behind his back, Chen Tian praised softly, but he did not praise the interrogator or the intruder. It's the equipment of this interrogation room - the cold interrogation room only has a table, a lamp and a few chairs, and the special thing is that the small compartment where Chen Tian and Matthew are standing, it is separated from the outside interrogation room by a strange window, and the inside can't see the inside at all, but the inside can see everything outside through this window that resembles an ordinary Berlin window, according to the captain just now, this window also has a good sound insulation effect, so as long as you don't make a loud noise inside, the outside will not notice that there are people inside.

"It's just a little toy!"

When there were only himself and Chentian in this small cubicle, Matthew's tone was much more accommodating. Standing in the perspective of Chen Tiandi. He certainly didn't want to be without a good friend. Thus Matthew's "duplicity" is what he encourages.

As the interrogator "sat down", Chen Tiandi's mind shifted from this "little toy" to the room outside.

At this time there were two people sitting behind the small table, according to Matthew's orders. One of them is an officer on duty in military uniform, and the other is an interrogator in civilian clothes, to put it bluntly, a psychologist who has studied people's psychological activities. There was only one desk lamp in the whole room, and the light was much stronger than the ordinary table lamp, the scene was similar to what Chen Tian had seen on TV before, the "prisoner" squinted because of the dazzling light, and could only vaguely see the interrogator's face.

"Name?" The officer on duty in military uniform behind the desk asked coldly in German.

The man made no secret of his knowledge of German, and opened his mouth and said, "Sumit. Colaco! ”

"Nationality?" The officer on duty continued to ask questions, even though he already had the identification documents recovered from the other party.

"Kingdom of India!"

It was a puppet government in the West Indies under German rule, and the so-called king had no real power. There, the German government-appointed governor had the final say, and the German garrison maintained law and order with the government forces of the Kingdom of India, but the middle and senior officers of the government army were all active or retired German officers, which was not substantially different from the British rule in India. At present, there is a relative United Kingdom of India in the East Indies under Japanese occupation, which has a somewhat different name and is in fact only a political instrument of colonial rule.

"Identity?"

"Merchant!"

"Merchant?" The officer on duty raised his voice.

"Yes, Liberty Trader!" The man replied without changing his face.

"Then why did the free traders of the Kingdom of India appear in the royal exclusion zone of our country?" The officer on duty asked sharply.

"Lost!" The man replied without thinking.

"And what do you say about what you bring with you?" The tone of the officer on duty regained some coldness.

"Someone else entrusted us with the shipment!" The man was still a little arrogant.

At this time, the interrogator, who had been sitting next to the officer, spoke: "So do you always dress like this to transport goods?" Also, don't you know that it is illegal to carry weapons without permission from the government in Germany? It's so late. Where are you going to transport your goods? ”

A series of questions came like a storm, but the Indian's face did not change in the slightest.

"I'm afraid your government has no right to ask what we wear! Crossbows and daggers don't seem to be among the prohibited weapons in your country. We are ready to deliver goods from Berlin to Brandenburg, is that possible? ”

As soon as the Indian's voice fell, he only heard a "snap", and the officer on duty angrily slapped the case, "Then what is the explanation for the two of us sentries you killed?" ”

"What evidence is there that we killed them?" The man raised his head and asked unceremoniously.

"What a slick guy!" Chen Tian said secretly in his heart, and in the next few interrogation rooms, the interrogation of the other five intruders was also going on at the same time. In fact, although those people were not as cunning as the leading guy, they were also quite tight-lipped.

"I'm afraid Your Excellency doesn't know yet!" The officer on duty leaned back in his chair and said in a calm tone that was no different from intimidation: "Those who trespass on the royal restricted area." We have the right to dispose of it at our discretion without trial, including direct killing! ”

"But I am a legal citizen of the Kingdom of India!" The man argued that everyone here was of course aware of the relationship between the Kingdom of India and Germany, with Germany as the suzerainty and the Kingdom of India as a subordinate state, and in a way, the citizens of the Kingdom of India were also half of Germany's overseas citizens.

"We don't care! Britain, France, the United States, and even Germans are not allowed to trespass into the Royal Restricted Area! "Say it. The officer on duty pulled out a shiny Luger pistol from his holster on his waist and slapped it on the table.

Half of the six Indians couldn't help but swallow at this time.

"This is not like the work of a country governed by the rule of law!" The Indian said with a smile, even though it was very ugly.

"Your Excellency doesn't have to worry about it!" The officer on duty casually put his right index finger on the pistol, and let it move constantly on the table, making the sound of metal rubbing against the wooden board, "Besides, there are special cases in a legal society!" ”

"It's so pathetic!" The Indian suddenly put on a picture of a dead pig not being afraid of boiling water, but his men were not so tough in comparison.

After a cigarette had cooled down, there was a knock on the door outside, and in the way came a Guards corporal, who handed a piece of paper to the officer on duty.

"Humph!" The officer snorted coldly. "I'm sorry. Your subordinates have given a complete account, they have chosen Heaven, and you. I'm afraid I'm going to hell to report for duty! Someone ...... coming."

Two heavily armed soldiers walked in through the door.

"Wait!" The Indian stood up suddenly, "Mr. Officer, do you think my men will know the truth?" ”

The officer looked him up and down, but it was the interrogator who spoke first, "We don't need to know everything, it's enough for your men to provide it right now!" Although they have given up so-called loyalty, they can obtain the second half of their lives in peace and prosperity! As for you, there's really no use for it right now! ”

As he spoke, both plainclothes and officers made the appearance of getting up to leave, which forced the Indian to quickly change his mind.

"Please wait. I would like to know, what kind of conditions can you offer if I provide more valuable information? ”

"More valuable information?"

"How is that possible!"

The officer and the interrogator sang and sang in harmony, but their bodies inadvertently stopped in place.

"That's right, more valuable information!" The Indian nodded affirmatively, and after receiving the other man's promise, he sat down with relief.

At this time, in the small cubicle at the back, Chen Tian whispered to Matthew next to him: "Interesting inquiry! ”

"Well, it's just a means of theirs! If soft ground doesn't work. There are also many harsh methods of questioning! But as things stand, this Indian is not so stubborn about his master! Matthew also had an interested expression, but as the Indians confessed more and more, his and Chentian's faces gradually became serious.

It turned out that this guy was not a citizen of the Kingdom of India, but a citizen of the Federal Kingdom of India within the sphere of influence of Japan, and his identity documents were also forged. It was not a Japanese government official who trained them and provided them with food, but a Japanese spy named Itagaki Haraichi, who had been led to Germany by Itagaki three years earlier, and quickly became familiar with the language and environment here.

"Itagaki Haraichi?"

Chen Tian only knew that there was a guy named Seishiro Itagaki who was a notorious spy who had been lurking in China for a long time, but history had already changed dramatically, and there was no guarantee that that guy would not go to India and then Germany.

"These special goods were brought in three months ago by a Dutch merchant ship, and of course I was involved in receiving them, and there are about ...... similar cylinders," the Indian stopped abruptly as he said this.

"How many?" The officer asked sharply.

"Mr. Officer, can I ask for a glass of water and a cigarette?" The Indian made his first little request.

The officer and the interrogator exchanged glances, then called the soldiers waiting outside the door to untie him and gave him a glass of boiled water and a cigarette. Amid the curling smoke, the Indians continued to make their own demands: "If I say this, will my life be guaranteed?" How much can you pay me? I need a house and a legal identity! Also, will you hire me? ”

The interrogator in civilian clothes snorted coldly, "Within a minute, if you don't finish speaking, just wait to go to hell!" Your men have already confessed to what you said! ”

"They don't know the real inside story at all, we want to make the whole of Berlin ......" The Indian, in a hurry to prove his "worth", took it and accidentally brought out the second half of the sentence.

A quarter of an hour later, a large number of German Royal Guards opened the barracks after receiving an urgent order, and each of them added a large cylindrical box to their equipment. Not only that, but the medical staff in the Guards barracks were also quickly put on standby, all the equipment and medicines that could be used to treat the symptoms of poisoning were ready, and the German garrisons stationed in Brandenburg, Potsdam and Frankfurt were also mobilized, and all their military doctors and related equipment were required to be transported to Berlin by rail and air as soon as possible.

Although the Indians confessed extremely important information, they did not know exactly where the other accomplices had given the gas, and the timing of their actions was in principle the same, so this did not save Berlin and the many innocent civilians from being gassed.

Looking at Berlin with "wolf smoke" everywhere and listening to the noisy sound coming from the city, Chen Tian had mixed feelings in his heart. As the heart of the German Empire, Berlin's vigilance is undoubtedly the tightest in Germany, but it still has not been able to block the other side's terrorist attacks, this is not because the German army and police are incompetent, nor is it that they are negligent in their duties, you must know that there is no impermeable wall in the world, think about the "feat" of the other world that I am afraid that the elements hijacked the plane and crashed into the World Trade Center in the United States, and this is still the case in the highly developed United States, and it is not an absolutely impossible thing to transport some cylinders to Berlin in the 20s. The mental and psychological damage caused by the poison gas in Berlin is probably far greater than the material damage, and this scar will be an indelible pain in the hearts of Berliners for a long time, but at the same time, it can also play a positive role that is difficult to achieve in many propaganda, and the Germans will soon understand that the war against Japan is not only a simple struggle for hegemony and aggression, but also the elimination of the most evil forces in the world.
