The reason why countries send intelligence agencies to track down the whereabouts of the manuscript is not all to know the contents of the manuscript.

The content of the manuscript is not a secret, and the manuscript of "The Man in the High Castle" has been read by many people.

The assistant editors and editors-in-chief of major publishing houses, the typesetting workers in the printing house, and even the translators at the Shanghai Commercial Press are all aware of the storyline of the manuscript.

Just catch these people and get the content of the manuscript.

Of course, after many years, some of them did not read the manuscript at all, and some did not have such a good memory.

The details in the book may be off, but the general background setting is still known.

As a result, these people became the first targets of the intelligence agencies of various countries, and even the countries that owned the manuscript did not want all countries to know the story of the manuscript.

This is undoubtedly a bloody storm.

Those caught were better and protected, but many more died in a contest between spies from several countries.

These countries are tracking down manuscripts not for what they already have, but for what they don't yet know.

What is written in "The Strange Man of the High Castle" is only a major historical event, or whether the two worlds are intertwined, and it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

The first thing they have to do is find out if the content of the manuscript is the same in each country, and whether there will be a difference.

It's like a treasure map, it takes thirty manuscripts to be put together to create a complete world.

They also have to start with the manuscript to find the person who mailed the manuscript, or the person who wrote the manuscript.

How did this man know in 1925 about the great events that took place in the following years.

For example, Hitler took control of Germany, Roosevelt became president of the United States, and later World War II.

It may be a coincidence that one thing is right, two things that are right is a miracle, and three things that are right may be something that only God can do.

This is the prophet they are looking for.

It was not the United States that was the first to send people to track down the manuscript. Rather, it is the United Kingdom, one of the most powerful countries of this era.

On May 4, 1926, a nationwide general strike began in Britain.

The general strike lasted nine days, culminating in nearly 6 million strikes, with workers in the electrical, steel, railway, construction and printing industries participating in the mine.

All the big industrial centers are paralyzed.

In the midst of this chaos, the British government sent a search of the printing house of a militant group. A batch of manuscripts was confiscated.

The manuscripts were stacked in a government office and stumbled upon by Winston Churchill, then British finance secretary.

The manuscript of "The Man in the High Castle" is an ordinary science fiction novel in the eyes of ordinary people, because ordinary people have limited vision, are not very sensitive to politics, and do not know political figures.

But Churchill was different, he was a high-ranking politician.

At first, he also read the manuscript as a common novel, and he himself is also a writer who likes to read.

He kept deducing the development of the storyline in his mind, and finally found that the novel was interesting. The writer who wrote this novel has a strong logical thinking ability, and the world that he reasoned about is actually possible.

At this time, Churchill did not attach importance to the manuscript, and it was not until 1929 that he realized the importance of The Man in the High Castle.

Since then, he has traveled to the United States twice to meet with people from all walks of life and political leaders in the United States.

His purpose was to find out the origin of "The Man in the High Castle", and the British spies with him captured a number of Americans related to the manuscript and interrogated them.

In December 1931, during Churchill's second trip to the United States, he was involved in a car accident. If it is not rescued in time, it may die.

It was a counterattack by American intelligence.

At this time, the U.S. government was aware of the existence of the manuscript. A wide-ranging search was carried out throughout the country.

Cole acted earlier than the U.S. government.

After Roosevelt was re-elected governor of New York in 1930, he used Roosevelt's connections to track down the manuscript.

Cole is aware of the way publishers dispose of scrap manuscripts, either by sending them to the garbage bin or in the publisher's utility room.

He first found out about the manuscript through California's postal system.

Five years later, most of the publishers' scraps have been sent to the garbage dumps. Only two large publishing houses still have scrapped manuscripts.

Eventually, he found two manuscripts of The Man in the High Castle among the mountains of scraps.

After finding the manuscript, Cole pondered for a long time and decided to trust Roosevelt and gave him the manuscript.

That's why Cole was Roosevelt's most trusted man.

At this time, Roosevelt already had plans to run for the next president. But he had to face the current president, Edgar Hoover.

Hoover was not just the president of the United States, he was also the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, that is, the top official of the American intelligence community.

In 1924, Hoover, then a young lawyer at the Department of Justice, was appointed director of the FBI.

In the following 48 years, the United States changed 8 presidents and 16 prosecutors general, but the director of the FBI was always called Edgar Hoover, who was arguably the most powerful man in the United States.

In 1931, before announcing his candidacy for president, Roosevelt had a secret meeting with Hoover.

No one knows what they were talking about, and it didn't take long for the FBI to reshuffle and create a special department with extremely high authority and direct accountability to the FBI director and the president.

It was this department that orchestrated the car crash against Churchill in New York.

It was a stern warning, and Churchill did not pursue it afterwards and returned to England.

Due to the favorable location, the U.S. intelligence community first launched a search operation in Los Angeles to find the person who had mailed the manuscript in the first place, the legendary "Man of the High Castle".

The power of a country is enormous, but at the beginning they are looking in the wrong direction.

Because the manuscript is written in English, there is a deep feeling of concern for the Americans, and after expert analysis, I feel that the author should be an American, and the level of education is not high, otherwise the writing would not be so bad.

Judging from the envelope and stamps, this person was purchased locally in Los Angeles, and it is likely that he was a native of California.

Judging by the paper of the manuscript, this person may have worked in a printing shop and had access to printing equipment.

It also takes time to check the model of the printing machine and the origin of the ink used.

As a result, U.S. intelligence targeted white Americans living in Los Angeles, probably between the ages of eighteen and forty, who used typewriters, had printing experience, and so on.

Even so, trying to find someone is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

There are no impermeable walls in this world, and the news that other countries have planted spies in the United States and Britain has attracted the attention of countries as they search for a book manuscript.

The spies obtained the news that 30 copies of "The Man in the High Castle" had been mailed to publishing houses in various countries through bribery or coercion.

In order to compete for the manuscript of the book, the spy elites of various countries used the whole world as a battlefield and staged wonderful spy war dramas. (To be continued.) )
