Chapter 445: The Most Dangerous Spy
For this reason, Tian Tian specially asked Li Mo for ten radio reconnaissance cars, patrolling in Berlin every day, and finally found a radio station area in the east side of Berlin, Tian Tian asked the Gestapo to disguise himself as a civilian to investigate in Berlin's East City, and finally determined that a branch called Simix was the most suspicious.
They found radio equipment and two female spies. At the same time, behind a hidden door, a factory for copying German military documents was hidden. During a search of the building, Tian Tian found a scrap of paper with some redacted lists. German codebreakers found the word "Proctor" on this piece of paper, along with the words of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The Gestapo subjected harsh interrogations to those arrested, but with little success, because the operators did not know who sent the information, they were only responsible for sending the information, and the case reached a dead end.
That night, in Li Mo's study, in Tian Tian's daily routine report, Tian Tian truthfully told Li Mo about the problem of spy radio:
"My marshal, now this spy radio problem is stuck on the issue of Proctor, the spies who have been caught are just newspaper operators, not liaisons, and we can't torture any valuable information at all."
Li Mo drank tea leisurely while listening to Tian Tian's narration, and when Tian Tian finished speaking, Li Mo asked slowly:
"What does Proctor mean?"
"Personal name [English surname] Proctor professional name, steward. Derived from medieval English; [place name] Proctor [USA]"
"Snort...... Comfortable"
Li Mo took a sip of tea comfortably and began to help Tian Tian, who had fallen astray, analyze:
"My brother, since the word comes from the Middle Ages, and the Middle Ages are the key, and from the Middle Ages it can only be handed down and recorded in books, and I can say with certainty that these spies are using our ancient cryptographic technology, using a book as a password, if you don't know the book they use. Then they will never be able to decipher their code. Proctor is definitely the name of a person who appears in a book of British classical literature, we don't read much English classical literature, but German university linguistics or faculty professors, they absolutely know that Proctor is from that book. You just have to ask them and you'll understand. ”
"Ahh I'm going to make a call. Wait a minute. ”
……
Tian Tian turned around and exited Li Mo's study. went outside to make a call, and there was no need for Li Mo to question the ability of the Gestapo. When it takes only a few minutes to find a German professor, you can ask directly on the phone, Tian Tian went out for about five minutes and then turned back to Li Mo's study, and said to Li Mo very excitedly:
"My marshal, I already know that it is the character in that book, it is the English classical literature "Pride and Extreme", I have ordered someone to decipher the telegram from the spy radio we have received, I believe that we should have a great harvest tomorrow morning, my marshal, you are really amazing."
"Hehe, my brother will entrust you with all this, for the internal spies hidden in Germany, dig them out as much as possible, you are an expert in this area, if you need help, open your mouth as soon as possible, and funding is not a problem."
"Thank you, Marshal."
The telegrams sent by spies can be received by any telegraph, but they cannot be deciphered, and the German Gestapo has been listening to and recording these unknown telegrams, although they cannot be deciphered now, it does not mean that they cannot be deciphered in the future. As long as that book is found, all the telegrams sent by that radio station may be translated from that book, and that English classical literature is the code book.
……
Early the next morning, Tian Tian hurriedly came with the documents, judging from Tian Tian's demeanor, Li Mo knew that Tian Tian had a gratifying harvest, after entering the study, Tian Tian couldn't wait to hand Li Mo a piece of paper, which clearly read:
"Soviet spy organization - codename: Red Orchestra, partial list of Lucy's detachments.
Avid? Hanak is the head of the German Ministry of Economic Affairs.
Physse, an American journalist.
Lieutenant Herro of the Intelligence Service of the Ministry of Aviation. ”
"My marshal, I propose to arrest these three men immediately, because we have already taken the Soviet spies by surprise, and if they are not captured, it is likely that all clues will be broken."
Of course, Li Mo understood what Tian Tian meant, in this case, it was impossible to put a long line to catch a big fish, so he could only catch it, and Li Mo wanted to get rid of the eyes and ears of the Soviet Union.
"My brother, you have arrested it directly, after the arrest, you will interrogate it alone, don't fake anyone, it's best to hand it over to the shadow."
It seems that Li Mo is not completely convinced even by the Gestapo, foreign spies are indeed pervasive, and it is likely that there are enemy spies among the guards, if they kill people, all clues will be interrupted, and when the shadow interrogates valuable information, it is not too late to hand it over to the Gestapo for execution.
Of course, the Gestapo secretly arrested three people in the morning, and soon these three people were handed over to the "shadow" for interrogation, and Li Mo certainly didn't care about the specific interrogation methods, and for a whole day, the Gestapo were arresting people, and the number of people arrested for this reached 177.
After interrogation, the crime of espionage is undoubtedly confirmed, and the crime of espionage in any country is the death penalty, of course, this order does not need to be given by Li Mo, Li Mo just needs to hand over all the information and people to the German Ministry of Defense, and they will deal with it.
In this crackdown on the "Lucy detachment" spy group, Li Mo got a very important news, the intelligence source of this Soviet spy organization is mainly provided by a person codenamed "Werther", "Werther" is also the head of the "Red Orchestra", many high-level secrets, without the corresponding position, it is impossible to obtain, which is this Soviet spy codenamed "Werther" is absolutely still hidden in the German high-level, he can access a lot of German confidential documents.
In order to stabilize "Werther", Li Mo hid this matter, and now he has not cracked the spy codenamed "Werther", so he recklessly poked out this information, only to let "Werther" hide it deeper, Li Mo is not stupid, this spy called "Werther" is too dangerous, Li Mo dug out his mind more urgently than arresting Popov.
Li Mo has already delineated a general scope for this spy codenamed "Werther", the German Ministry of Defense, the German High Command, the Führer's Office, and the German Foreign Office, which can only be these four places, because the "Lucy Detachment" has issued a plan for Germany's attack on Kursk, and you must know that very few people can see this campaign plan, and only a few high-ranking generals can know the whole content. Even Canaris, the German military intelligence service, was not qualified to know the details of the campaign plan, which shows the high or important position of this "Werther".
