Frank Foley spilled the coffee on his hand, he was stunned for a moment before he shouted God got up and slapped the coffee off his body, and then took out a handkerchief to wipe the coffee spilled on the place, he was wearing a gray plaid suit this time, the gray part was not visible, but the light part was already dirty. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hell!" He grumbled again, but after a moment it was quiet. He said, "Lee, what did you hear from Goering?" We urgently need to know Hitler's plans to annex Czechoslovakia! ”

Welfare came to Flensburg over the weekend to find out how German politics would change in the future, and Baron Wilhelm Drup, the political spy who paid a thousand pounds a year, had failed so much that he might even have been scared and said he would leave Germany immediately. Frank Foley, who had a headache, had to urgently find Li Kongrong at the urging of the director, Admiral Sinclair. I don't want to be even more shocked by the information provided by Li Kongrong, Hitler actually annexed the Czech Republic after annexing Austria.

"Frank, do you think I'm a valuable agent?" Li Kongrong leisurely drank coffee and asked such a question.

"Of course!" The Briton nodded honestly, because he didn't know Li Kongrong's intentions, "Now even His Excellency the Prime Minister is talking about 007 now, after von Blomburg was forced to retire, the first person His Excellency the Prime Minister asked was you." ”

"I seldom ask you to do me anything, and now I need your help, because ......," Li Kongrong looked at him, not knowing whether he was telling the truth or falsehood—the British were always exaggerated, like Churchill's memoirs. I'm having some trouble. ”

Welfare was full of smiles and an exaggerated compliment, but when he heard that Li Kongrong needed help from himself or the Intelligence Bureau to solve the trouble, his face suddenly pulled down, and he wanted to say some glamorous words and refuse directly, but when he thought of 'Hitler wants to annex the Czech Republic', he had to swallow the words back. "Lee, to the best of my ability, I will be more than happy to help you out of trouble." He was reluctant.

"No, I need the help of the entire Intelligence Bureau, not you!" Li Kongrong's expression also became formal, extremely dignified, which was a very important part of his plan.

"Oh." Welfare shrugged his shoulders while spreading his hands, looking like he knew it was like this. "Li, your Navy's Ninghai was saved from being searched by the Japanese Navy because of our help, the Royal Navy has been suspected by the Japanese, we are under tremendous pressure, and Sir is being accused by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs every day......"

Welfare's complaint was as exaggerated as his approval, as if the Japanese naval fleet had sailed to the mouth of the Thames, and Li Kongrong waited for him to finish in the smoke, and then said: "The trouble I am talking about does not require much effort on your part, it is only assistance." ”

"Assistance?" Seeing that Li Kongrong was extremely serious, he compromised, "Okay, I'm willing to listen to your troubles." ”

"Our Navy has ordered two ocean-going submarines at the Lübeck shipyard in Germany, and now the German political scene has changed dramatically, and the Nazis will soon abandon us to get close to Japan, so I want to steal these two submarines!" Li Kongrong said slowly.

"Ah, God!" Welfare stared at Li Kongrong in disbelief. "Lee, this is a submarine, not a ...... Not an airplane! ”

"We know, so I need your help." "This has no effect on the UK. The participants in the operation are my subordinates, and you are not required to participate directly, and the Royal Navy can probably test the submarine for a short time without damaging the entire submarine, and the cost will be borne by us. I don't think there's any risk to the Agency, I just know that it's a huge benefit to the Agency, and it's a good reflection of her good action. ”

With Lee Kong-young's narration, Welfare calmed down from the initial shock. Yes, this is indeed a good and harmless thing for the Intelligence Agency - failure, the Chinese bear the blame; Success, both the Intelligence Directorate and the Navy will benefit.

"Lee, what kind of help do you need?" Feel like everything is good Welfare asked.

"What I need is very simple, first, if the Germans refuse to provide us with training boats as promised, I want my men to be trained by the Intelligence Service, at least so that they know how to drive submarines out to sea. secondly, I need the relevant intelligence support, such as the situation at the Lübeck shipyard, the hydrological situation of the Telavi River and its estuary, the meteorological conditions at the time of the operation, etc., as well as weapons, which will be used in the worst-case scenario; Thirdly, the submarine needs to be resupplied after going to sea, and it needs a temporary rest base......"

"Submarines can't go straight to Britain." Welfare thought that Li Kongrong was going directly to the United Kingdom, and immediately interrupted.

"I know." Li Kongrong glanced at him dissatisfied, "The submarine will not sail to Britain, but if it goes out of the North Sea, I hope she can dock in Iceland or other islands, which requires the assistance of the Royal Navy, at least provide a suitable location, my subordinates will prepare in advance, bring in supplies, and if the submarine is damaged, we also need to assist in repairs." ”

"Lee, I must tell you, this is a very dangerous thing, and if you are discovered by the Germans, you will most likely be arrested and imprisoned, or deported, whatever the outcome, it will be fatal for you." Welfare originally felt good, but when he thought of Li Kongrong being deported after the defeat, he suddenly realized that he would lose 007.

"No, it doesn't affect me, and I already have a number of friends in Germany, such as General Thomas, the new Minister of Economy in place of Schacht, Val Brown. Mr. Te Funk, even if I am not in Germany, they will always provide me with information. Li Kongrong said the names of several people so that the welfare could be reassured.

"Well, Lee, I'll report this to Sir Sinclair." With his fingers crossed and he generously agreed, he said, "Should we talk about Hitler...... Annexation of the Czech Republic. ”

"This is just a plan, there are a large number of Germans in the Sudetenland, and we all know that Czechoslovakia is pro-Soviet, and Hitler will not allow Germany to defect to countries close to the Soviet Union......" Li Kongrong did not say much, only revealed a little, but this has greatly satisfied the welfare.

"You have to keep an eye on it." After listening to this, Welfare admonished, "The director and the prime minister will definitely be very interested in this information. ”

"Of course." Li Kongrong looked at him and took out a draft document, "This is a brief plan I have prepared, and the name of the plan is 'The Wolf Returns to the Boundless', please send it back to London." I hope that my request will be fulfilled to the fullest, and do not forget to plan that, if successful, it will be one of the greatest and most successful operations in the history of the Intelligence Agency. ”

Like Churchill, Lee Kongrong sang the praises of all things related to the British army as great and glorious, and his plans were brought back to Berlin by Frank Foley, and then sent to London by hand as diplomatic letters.

21 Queen Anne Street, London, office of the head of MI6, Admiral Sinclair.

Colonel Russell of the Navy sat in front of Sinclair's office, while Admiral looked at the plan drawn up by Lee Kong-wing for 'the wolf to return to the sky'. The simple four words in Chinese translated into English are a string of words. The above plan is simple, that is, on the eve of the launch and outfitting of the two submarines at the Lübeck shipyard, the Chinese will find a way to steal them out. Ordinary people may think that this is possible, but without outfitting the submarine will be missing some important parts, she may be able to sail, but she will probably not be able to dive. No one can guarantee that she will be able to sail out of the Baltic Sea, and even she will not be able to get out of the mouth of the Travi River.

"The Chinese are crazy!" Sinclair threw the plan on the table and came to a conclusion. He lit a cigarette and added, "I hope 007 will continue to provide us with information, but this crazy plan will send him to prison." ”

"Sir, if we don't agree to this plan, I don't think 007 will be sent in a steady stream of information." Russell said that the plan did not say that Lee would personally participate in the operation, but that Frank Foley told him that Lee had close ties to many of Germany's bigwigs, and that he would be able to obtain top-secret information if he left Germany.

"But the Chinese Ninghai escaped the Japanese precisely by relying on our cover." The admiral brought up the Ninghai. "Without our help, she might be sunk by the Japanese tomorrow."

"Sir, now that the Ninghai has lost its value, at least under the Japanese Navy's hunt, she can only hide in some unknown places. The Chinese Navy has apparently turned its attention to submarines, which are the only ones that can sink Japanese merchant ships. Perhaps tomorrow, the Ninghai will sail to a U.S. port to announce the end of the operation. Colonel Lyssell said a possibility.

"But we can't afford to lose 007!" Admiral Sinclair emphasized this point. He then complained: "Baron Drup is already afraid, this coward, he actually wants to emigrate to Switzerland." Only 007 can now provide us with important and accurate information, and whether this plan succeeds or not, he will be hostile to the Germans, deported, or even arrested......"

"Jazz...... Sir, it's because we can't afford to lose 007 that we agree to this plan. Colonel Russell followed Admiral Sinclair's line of thought, "Frank said in the report that 007 is a great patriot, he is willing to give everything for China, and only by helping him complete this plan can he continue to provide us with information." The Navy would certainly be in favour of this plan, and although the two submarines were foreign trade products, we were able to discover the performance and technical level of the German submarines, and I am sure Sir Chatfield would be very pleased to know of this plan. ”

The pipe bit on Admiral Sinclair's mouth, and his gray beard shook in the smoke. He suddenly felt a kind of boredom - 007 is not British, let alone a full-time agent of MI6, he must constantly meet his requirements in order to obtain valuable information, the last time it was Ninghai, this time it was a submarine, so what will be the next time?

This must change! The Admiral said to himself in his heart.

"John, this plan ......" Admiral Sinclair picked up the plan he had abandoned on the table again. Is it feasible? ”

"It may or may not work, but the key is whether the Chinese superintendent is involved in the whole outfitting process. When outfitting to a certain extent, they were able to enter the shipyard at night - the Lübeck shipyard was very remote, it was at the bend of the Travi River, seven miles northwest of Lübeck, and she could sail six nautical miles into the Baltic Sea as long as the submarine could leave the dock, which would take about half an hour if it was night. There is a border checkpoint at the mouth of the Telavi River, but it is difficult for the checkpoint to detect submarines under the surface. ”

"And then?" Admiral Sinclair asked, "How did she sail out of the Baltic Sea?" The Skagrak Strait (the strait leading from the Baltic Sea to the North Sea) is just over fifty nautical miles wide. Even if she acted at six o'clock in the evening, she could not pass through this strait at dawn, and the German Navy would block her in the Skagrak Strait. ”

The maximum speed of the submarine is eighteen knots, and from the mouth of the Trawe River to the Skagerrak Strait is more than 300 nautical miles, and the submarine can travel up to 200 nautical miles overnight, that is, it is impossible for the submarine to enter the North Sea without the Germans noticing, they are likely to be blocked in the Baltic Sea by the Germans and eventually sunk.

"It's really a problem." Colonel Russell had to agree with the admiral. "But I think that if the submarine can dive, she may be able to survive until dark, and at this time the German Navy may not be able to completely block the entire strait."

"What if he can't cross this strait that night?" Sinclair asked. Colonel Russell was silent - it would have been difficult for the submarine to escape sinking if it had not passed through the strait that night, when the entire German navy had arrived, and the fuel and food on board the submarine were limited.

"This plan is very, very risky!" Sinclair continued, "Perhaps, God willingly, the submarine will sail out of the Skagerrak Strait, but the Germans will also search the North Sea, and she will only be safe if she sails out of the North Sea." In addition, there can be no mistakes and accidents in the operation, and if they are unlucky, the Chinese may not even be able to enter the shipyard. ”

Sinclair counted the possible failures of this plan, and some bitterness, although this was beneficial to Britain, allowing the Navy to directly understand the performance and technical characteristics of German submarines, but regardless of success or failure, the Chinese would bear an unimaginable price. "Let the Admiralty take a look, remember to keep it secret, and I'll report this to the Coordinating Secretary of National Defense."

"Yes, sir." Colonel Russell breathed a sigh of relief, apparently, the admiral agreed to the plan.

When Admiral Sinclair threw the plan back on the table, Li Kongrong was sitting in the reception room of the German Admiralty with some uneasiness. Dönitz had gone to Kiel the previous week, and had only received news of his return to Berlin today, so he was waiting at the Admiralty early in the morning - the training at the Merchant Marine School would be over next week, and although the Mawei Naval School could not be compared with the Kiel Naval School, it was certainly better than the Flensburg Merchant Marine School, and all the cadets had passed the examination. Now, it's time for Dönitz to make good on his promise, will he go back on it? (To be continued.) )
