On May 25, 1940, MI5 received a tip: Murray, a great spy, appeared on Regent Street in central London and left in a taxi. The London police immediately sounded the alarm, set up eyeliners in various docks, hotels, and streets, and sent a large number of police to track down. Witnesses reported that the Murray they saw was a middle-aged man with a sturdy and thin build. He was always dressed decently and wore a black and white tie. The most prominent feature is that it has a large burst of teeth.

Since then, news has been heard about Murray from all over the UK. His footprints seem to have traveled to all corners of the UK.

However, the strangest thing is that the British detectives have not even found a figure.

A year-long carpet search by the British Police ended in vain. The detectives traveled all over England, Scotland and England, but still did not find this "most cunning Nazi spy".

In 1941, the British police announced that they had temporarily abandoned the search for Murray. Since then, many Nazi spies have been caught, but Murray remains a mystery

Murray was the head of the German Gestapo spy and the only German spy that Britain failed to catch during World War II. He is best known for his cunning. In 1940, the then Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police described Murray as "the smartest spy in all Germany". It took nearly 15 years for the British government to pursue the investigation, but Murray remains at large.

All who have come into contact with Murray say he enjoys a life of luxury, frequenting high-end bars and nightclubs. He seems to be a vain man, but he is the most cunning spy.

The spy who will never be able to catch - Murray

Cairo. November 13, 1942.

The news of Montgomery's defeat at the front had reached Cairo, and the British had been prepared to keep it strictly secret, but the news was still poked out.

The Egyptians were happy and inspired. The British and their allies were worried.

Egypt is just too important for Britain. Especially the Suez Canal.

The Suez Canal is Egypt's golden waterway. Its opening is the pride of Egypt and a great feat in the history of mankind. The 175-kilometre-long canal connects the Atlantic, Mediterranean and Indian oceans, and the opening of the Suez Canal has greatly shortened the distance between East and West. Since its opening, the Suez Canal has become the most important and busiest waterway in the world, and it is an important way for Egypt to generate income, so it is also known as the "lifeline" of Egypt.

It was still in 1856. France was the first to gain the power to dig the Suez Canal. The opening of the Suez Canal also caused Egypt to owe a huge amount of foreign debt. By 1869, the Suez Canal was fully opened. But by then, Egypt's finances were already overwhelmed. Eventually, by 1875, the Egyptian government had to sell 44% of its shares in the Suez Canal to Britain at a low price. At the time, although France owned 52% of the Suez Canal. But since French stocks are privately owned in France. It is relatively dispersed, and the British stock is all held by the British government, plus the British has troops in the canal zone, so the British is equivalent to obtaining the de facto supreme control of the Suez Canal.

The Egyptian government, which sold the canal stock cheaply, was still insolvent and had no choice but to declare its finances bankrupt a year later. As a result, Britain and France also took the opportunity to take control of Egypt's finances, with Britain managing Egypt's revenues and France managing Egypt's expenditures. Both countries have their economic lifelines firmly in their hands. At this point, Egypt was effectively controlled by Britain and France. The governor of Egypt was just a puppet.

The Suez Canal, as the "lifeline" of Egypt, is also the "lifeline" on which Britain, France, especially the United Kingdom, rely to safeguard their global interests. The two countries, which control the "lifeline", are responsible for the day-to-day management of the canal through the Canal General Management Office of the International Suez Canal Company. The company also has a representative in Cairo who can communicate directly with the Egyptian government at any time. In this way, the Suez Canal, which was built by 120,000 Egyptians with a lot of bones, was supposed to belong to the Egyptian people, but most of its wealth was eventually collected into the pockets of British and French colonists.

On both sides of the Suez Canal is a 104-kilometre-long and 4.8-kilometre-wide military base that is also home to the British garrison. The flag of the International Suez Canal fluttering in the wind on the canal clearly declares its status as a "country within a state". In 1936, Britain asked Egypt to sign the Anglo-Egyptian Treaty of Alliance with Egypt for 20 years, pretending to be concerned about Egypt's "security". The treaty reads in black and white that "British troops shall have the right to station in the Canal Zone", and Alexandria is the military port of the British Empire.

In this way, the Suez Canal is not only a point of transport for Britain's economic interests, but also a British overseas military base, which can be called the largest.

In the Second World War, the British military base here made great contributions to it. Within the Canal Zone, up to 15 divisions of the Army, 65 Air Squadrons and the Royal Navy fleet in the Eastern Mediterranean, were the base camp of British operations in the East.

The importance of the Suez Canal to Britain is already obvious

If Egypt was lost, the British Empire's hard work in the Middle East would be thrown to the Germans, something the British never wanted to see.

However, what else did Britain use to hold back the German offensive now?

Maybe tomorrow as soon as you open your eyes, the Germans' tanks will already appear outside Cairo

The British were in a panic organizing the defense of Cairo, and in the city of Cairo, the uprisings were not quelled at all, but intensified, which also made the sound of cafes and taverns wither a lot.

But there will always be guests

Wang Weiyi pushed open the door of the café and walked in calmly. In the window of the café, a middle-aged man of about forty years old sat looking out the window.

Wang Weiyi sat down across from him, asked for a cup of coffee, and then also looked out the window: "It's hard to imagine that Cairo will become like this." ”

"Yes, it's hard to imagine." The middle-aged man didn't seem surprised that a stranger sat down across from him: "I always wonder what it would be like if German tanks drove in here." ”

Wang Weiyi smiled faintly: "If you say this, if the British hear it, you will be arrested immediately." ”

The middle-aged man also smiled: "I can be sure that the British are more willing to catch Baron Alexon"

As he spoke, he lowered his voice: "Your Excellency, it is my honor to meet you in Cairo, I have always heard your name and have always wanted to meet you, but I did not expect that our first meeting would be in such a situation. ”

"Murray, the great spy Murray" Wang Weiyi sighed: "The great spy Murray is being captured by the whole of Britain, no one would have thought that you have arrived in Cairo now"

This middle-aged man is the legendary spy Murray during the Second World War, a super spy who will never be caught.

In the Second World War, there were many super spies active, but their identities were all exposed or arrested without exception over time, except for this super spy Murray.

Wang Weiyi looked at him carefully: "It is said that you have a big tooth, why didn't I see it?" ”

"Your Excellency, that's just a disguise" Murray couldn't help but laugh: "I have to give the enemy an illusion, ah, you may not know it, because of the wrong information of the British, as a result, many people with violent teeth have been arrested in secret for no reason"

"Very good camouflage." Wang Weiyi nodded: "Do you know your mission?" ”

"I know it." Murray said earnestly: "I have received a secret order from Paris, and General Nikolai has ordered me to go out. Your Excellency, the rumors in England were too tight at that time, and in order to avoid exposure, General Nicholas asked me to come to Cairo to continue my activities, and to wait until the rumors in London had subsided before returning and I would only use the contact information that I had obtained yesterday, and I think you need my help. ”

Nikolai, Nikolai Wang Weiyi sighed in his heart.

If it hadn't been for Nikolai telling himself that Murray was a super spy he had arranged many years ago, he might not have been able to see what the most successful spy in history looked like.

Wang Weiyi adjusted his mood: "Murray, the German army is about to attack Cairo, and I need all our strength in Cairo to work hard to welcome the arrival of the German army." I heard you have a way to plot against the 6th South African Armored Vehicle Regiment? ”

"Yes, their head is my friend, of course, he himself considers my friend." Murray said lightly: "I understand what you mean, you are preparing to make the South African 6th Armored Vehicle Regiment defect when our men attack Cairo." ”

"Yes, that's what it means, are you sure?" Wang Weiyi then asked.

"There was no problem at all." Murray's answer was affirmative: "But I need a huge sum of money." ”

Wang Weiyi smiled: "No matter how much money you need, I can provide it to you, but you must ensure the concealment of this rebellion, and after you complete this operation, you will also return to London, the British have temporarily stopped chasing you." ”

"It was an honour and I miss life in London very much." Murray smiled and said, "Your Excellency, I am honored to be of your service, Cairo will soon fall into our hands, and I hope to see you in London." ”

"Yes." Wang Weiyi's voice was not loud but very sure: "You will see me in London soon!" (To be continued......)
