Colonel Firth was successfully rescued, but this did not mean that he was already safe.

Now, how to get out of Cairo has become a big question.

At this time, Colonel Fels, no matter how unexpectedly, came to rescue him by Ernst. Marshal Bream!

God, the Germans were bold enough, from soldiers to marshals

I'm afraid there is nothing in the world that they dare not do.

"Colonel, is there any good way to get out of Cairo?" Wang Weiyi asked at the temporary hiding point.

"It seems to me that it will be difficult for us to get out of Cairo." Colonel Firth wasn't so scared: "But we have a chance that isn't a chance. At this time of year, the Egyptians hold the Festival of the Nile, ah, it starts tomorrow"

"Nile Festival?" Wang Weiyi was stunned.

"To be precise, it's called the Nile Flood Festival." Colonel Firth uttered this very strange name: "A long time ago, when her husband Uzlis lost her companion in the unfortunate misfortune of her husband Uzlis, she wept bitterly, and tears of grief fell into the Nile, and suddenly the waves were so turbulent that the river swelled so violently that in an instant it swallowed up a large area of sand on both sides. Of course, from a scientific point of view, this is just a beautiful legend. In fact, the flooding of the Nile is caused by the Indian Ocean monsoon blowing clouds across the Ethiopian plateau, creating rainfall that causes the Nile to swell. ”

Wang Weiyi smiled: "Hey, Colonel, I don't want to hear your scientific knowledge. I want to know the whole situation of the Nile, the flood. What chance do we have? ”

"The Egyptians believed in mythical legends. Throughout the ages, on June 17 or 18, the calm and gentle waters of the Nile begin to turn pale green. The Egyptians knew that the annual flooding of the river was coming. At this time, according to traditional customs, an event called 'Tear Night' is held. In August, when the flood overflowed the riverbed, breached the dikes, and flooded the land, it did not hesitate to bring fertile soil to both banks, providing abundant nutrients for the growth of cotton, palms, figs, and various grains and vegetables. For this reason, people celebrate in September. Colonel Firth said slowly:

"The Copts of ancient Egypt at the time of the Nile Flooding Festival. A table is set up in front of each house with saucers containing soybeans, wheat, lentils, alfalfa and some plant shoots. According to local customs, this symbolizes a good harvest. Ancient celebrations of the Nile Flooding Festival. It was conducted by Pharaoh himself, civil and military ministers, and religious leaders together with the common people. The event begins with a priest placing a wooden statue of the river god on the bank, and everyone from the elderly to children of several years old bows to the statue as a sign of respect. Then the priest recites a prayer. In order to be auspicious and happy. People have a cheerful song. singing religious hymns and dancing colorful folk dances; Others are active on boats in the Nile, indulging in singing and dancing. People were beaming and jubilant. Now, things have changed a bit, and this is the only chance we have to escape Cairo."

He glanced at the Germans a few times: "Tomorrow, led by the king of Egypt, the Egyptians of the whole Cairo will pass through the necessary road in turn, and then come to the Nile outside the city. Carry out sacrificial activities"

"Wait." Wang Weiyi interrupted Colonel Firth: "You have been rescued, and the British know beyond doubt that we will definitely take advantage of this opportunity." What would happen if they stopped this sacrifice? ”

"That would make the Egyptians rebel, and it would make the British lose Egypt's support." Colonel Firth said lightly: "Even if there is a fierce battle between the Germans and the British in Cairo now, it must not prevent the Egyptians from sacrificing the Nile Festival. ”

"Gentlemen, get ready to celebrate the Nile Festival with the Egyptians." Wang Weiyi smiled: "Thank you to the great goddess Izs." ”

"Thank you to the great goddess Iz." All the commandos burst out laughing.

The only thing that made the commandos feel strange was the baron's assignment of tasks.

Miss Elena was still sent out of the city in the early stage, but this time Guo Yunfeng was also sent out, and the task of the two of them was to prepare the transportation for the members of the skeleton commando team after they broke out of Cairo.

There is no argument that it is easier for a woman to get out of town, but where does Miss Elena get transportation?

Is there nothing Miss Elena can't do? Could it be that Miss Elena is more capable than Baron Alexon?

It's incredible

"I have to thank you, Mr. Baron." As the team began to prepare, Colonel Firth finally expressed his gratitude: "No one would believe me if I told anyone that a German baron, a German field marshal, had come to Cairo to rescue me. Thank you for risking so much for me"

"Listen, Colonel, I'm not for you, I'm for Germany." Wang Weiyi said seriously: "You probably also know that our situation in Africa is not very good, the British counteroffensive will start soon, your existence can make us have more eyes You know too many secrets besides, Colonel Fels, can you tell me who the 'fighter' is?" ”

"A high-ranking British spy who has been lurking inside Germany for a long time." Colonel Firth immediately said: "This is the result of the joint efforts of the American and British intelligence agencies. The 'Fighter' could be a man or an organization baron, but I only know that he was in the German Afrika Korps staff, and I don't know exactly who it was. However, I have a way to lure him out, but it is a bit difficult to operate, and it requires us to have good telegraph listeners, but as far as we know, the Afrika Korps' telegraph interception is simply rotten."

It's a bit of a rough word, but it's true.

If the German officers and men of the Afrika Korps showed first-class combat qualities on the battlefield, then their intelligence work was second-rate. As for their radio listening, it's simply out of reach.

Erwin. Rommel was a pure soldier, he himself could not do anything about it, and the intelligence work of the Afrika Korps was completely paralyzed after Colonel Firth was exposed.

However, with the arrival of Baron Alexon and the successful rescue of Colonel Fels, all this will soon change

The rescue of Colonel Firth made the British a mess, and everyone knew the importance of Colonel Fels.

Not only the British, but also the Americans became a little flustered. Colonel Firth was equally important to the United States.

What is puzzling is where the Germans came from, and where did they get weapons and explosives!

According to Lieutenant Colonel Lewis, the enemy used a large number of submachine guns and machine guns, and the power of the explosives was also quite large, which completely caught the British by surprise.

"There is a total blockade of Cairo, and no one is allowed to leave the city!" Montgomery gave the order decisively: "The Germans are now anxious to get out of here, as long as they can succeed in trapping them, even if they can't catch them for the time being, it doesn't matter." ”

"I'm afraid we can't," interrupted General Montgomery by the British ambassador, Mr. Stolly.

"For what?"

"Tomorrow is the festival of the Nile flood, and all the Egyptians in Cairo will leave"

Mr. Stoley's words made Montgomery frown: "Let the Egyptians cancel this event, or postpone it for a few days, these events are simply not important compared to the capture of Colonel Fels." ”

"General Montgomery, do you want all of Egypt to turn against the British?" Mr. Stoley smiled bitterly: "This is the most important holiday of the Egyptians, and once it is forcibly canceled, the foreseeable riot will occur immediately, and if we suppress it, Egypt may fall to the side of the Germans!" ”

"Damn it, damn it!" Montgomery cried out in exasperation: "Don't they know what terrible effect we would have if we watched the German spies run away?" ”

"That doesn't have much to do with the Egyptians, does it?" Mr. Stolly sighed.

General Montgomery fell silent

At this stage, he said, the British needed the unconditional support of Egypt too much, otherwise Britain would not be able to win the war.

Nile Festival, Nile Festival! This damn Nile Festival!

"General Lauis!" Montgomery calmed his emotions.

"Here I am, General Montgomery." General Laues stepped out.

"Listen, the Germans will be going to take advantage of tomorrow's Nile Festival to get out of the city." Montgomery said worriedly, "Take your men and keep a close watch on everyone who leaves Cairo." Listen, you can't let the German spies go anyway, or our intelligence work will become very passive and necessary, and I will allow you to shoot."

"Yes, General."

"And, come and see!" Montgomery brought his men to the map: "Here, you'll have to build a second line of defense. Assuming that the Germans could get out of Cairo, then they would also need transport to flee in the direction of the Germans, and this was the way they had to go. Listen, unless you have my phone, any attempt to get through here is a German spy, and you have the right to shoot directly! ”

"I see, General Montgomery!"

Despite all the good arrangements he could, General Montgomery was still worried.

If you can't catch this group of Germans, then everything will really become extremely passive! The whole situation in Africa may change in some subtle ways because of this time.

In particular, the intelligence work, which had become increasingly chaotic for the Germans, would have an incomparably significant effect! (To be continued......)
