Five hundred and thirty-nine. Cairo Thief (7th Shift)
What the British feared most had happened.
On September 10, 1942, Germany sent troops to Iran without declaring war.
A division of the German Waffen-SS, three divisions of the Wehrmacht, and the combined forces of Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, and Turkey, totaling 200,000 troops, attacked Iran with great vigour.
That's the most frightening thing.
Iran, like Turkey, is too critical for the Allies!
Ernst. Alexon. Feng. In the end, Baron Bream still showed his strategic intentions unreservedly in front of the world:
First of all, one or two major counterattacks will be carried out in Russia to weaken the strength of the Soviet army to the greatest extent and stabilize the situation on the battlefield. Then, open up a second battlefield:
Turkish Battlefield!
Once the Turkish battlefield is completed, it can attack the Soviet Union or Iran at any time, and then attack the Middle East, connecting with the African theater.
In this way, the Allies would be forced to move back and forth behind the ass of the German army, exhausted.
Now, the show has begun
Iran was locked in a fierce war, and Britain focused on the North African theater in an attempt to end the war in Africa with a major war.
And at this time, a mysterious group of people has entered Cairo:
Ernst. Bram and his friends.
Guo Yunfeng, Elena, Klingenberg, Myriestel
This group of people is fearless, and this group of people dares to go anywhere. Even if the enemy surrounds them now, they can still talk and laugh.
Mysterious and beautiful Cairo. Nurtured with countless mysterious legends, the Sphinx, and the Egyptian pyramids for thousands of years of civilization, the city is full of dazzling brilliance all the time
Cairo's checks are very harsh, but they are far from being comparable to Ankara. The British here. Keeping a close eye on every strange face that appears in Cairo, he will not hesitate to arrest them if they deem it suspicious.
Wang Weiyi's identity is still Andrew Baron Toksen, and in Cairo, the British have too many privileges
The Baron's identity, already with a London accent of English, made some of the Englishmen who came to check on them let their guard down. He was even very eager to help them show the way.
The British would never have dreamed that the enemy's commander-in-chief would enter Cairo with such swagger
The companions, who did not speak Arabic, were left in the hotel, while Ernst. Mr. Bram made a surprising decision:
He was going to visit the second king of Egypt and Sudan. Mohammed, ruler of Nubia, Kordofan and Darfur. Farouk I.
Farouk I is probably one of the wonders of all the kings in the world
Farouk began his education at the age of five, but he had a learning disability that prevented him from making any progress. But under the cultivation of his father, Farouk unexpectedly practiced a good hand. Hoping to make a difference, his father decided to send Farouk to England for further study. But he didn't learn anything. Cheng Ri and the children of the nobility gambled and hunted as pastimes. In addition, Farouk is lustful by nature, often hangs out with young girls, and has had relationships with at least a dozen women.
Farook succeeded to the throne in May 1936 following the death of his father, and at the age of 16 he was sitting on a fortune of $100 million, 200 cars, and 75,000 acres of fertile land. It was not until July 26, 1937 that Farouk officially reached the legal age and ascended to the throne. After inheriting the throne, Farouk married the aristocratic lady Fari in 1938, but after the marriage, he still seduced women all the time, openly advocating that people should not be restrained in love and should allow mistresses to exist. His mistresses are too numerous to mention. Such as actresses and well-known female talents. In addition, Farouk loves food and eats 12 eggs for breakfast. You can also eat 40 quails for lunch, drink up to 30 bottles of beer a day, and often lock yourself in a dark room to eat chocolate, and your weight rises to 300 pounds. He was a serious gambler, losing $150,000 in seven hours.
Farouk also has a well-known quirk, he learned the art of theft from an old pickpocket in prison, and in gratitude to the pickpocket, he was released from prison for the first time. After completing his studies, Farouk traveled to various balls and evenings in the palace, stealing from VIP to dignitary, and keeping his findings as his personal collection. He is best known for his successful theft of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill's pocket watch, which was returned to Churchill after the British government protested against Farouk.
Wang Weiyi remembers that Farouk also stole burial goods, including swords, belts and medals, from the king's body when the funeral procession of the king of Iran passed through Egypt in 1844. Those in the know jokingly called Farouk a "Cairo thief".
Now, Wang Weiyi has decided to visit the famous "Cairo thief" to put on the safest layer of protection for his trip to Cairo.
Wang Weiyi asked Xiaoling to help him get a classic Maserati sports car from the 40s. If you want to get close to a king, you always have to spend some money.
Then, through his German intelligence agents in Cairo, he successfully met with Mr. Roliman, the British general adviser to Farouk I in Cairo.
Mr. Roliman showed great respect for the baron from England, and when he heard that Baron Andrew wanted to meet Farouk I, he immediately said that there was no problem and that Farouk I was willing to meet any Englishman.
"But," said Mr. Roliman, half jokingly and half earnestly, "Baron Andrew, you must take care of what you are worth." ”
"For what?" Wang Weiyi only asked without knowing the inside story.
"This," said Mr. Rolyman, hesitated, "you may not know that this king has a very strange habit, and he likes to steal things."
Wang Weiyi showed an incredible expression on his face: "Probably the fatigue of the journey made me have auditory hallucinations, you say that a king likes to steal things?" As far as I know, he has a whole $100 million fortune."
"It doesn't have much to do with how much money he has, it's a hobby." Mr. Roliman emphasized the words "personal hobby": "Many of his guests have been stolen by him, including many foreign envoys, His Majesty the King, who takes pride in being able to steal his guests' belongings, so to speak, and he has a special storeroom where all the things he steals are stored." Whether it's a guest or a civilian in Cairo."
Wang Weiyi shrugged: "Okay, I'll take care of everything on my body." However, I hope that the sports car I give to His Majesty the King will not be favored by His Majesty in advance. ”
Mr. Roliman laughed.
It's an interesting idea, if Farouk I stole a sports car that was almost his own, I wonder what His Majesty the King would have looked like
In the Cairo royal palace, Wang Weiyi met the famous "Cairo thief" for the first time in his life - Mohammed. Farouk I.
After a courtesy greeting, Farook I couldn't wait to say, "Dear Mr. Baron, I heard that you have brought me a very special gift, haven't you?" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Weiyi had never seen such an impatient king, and it was too rude for a head of state.
Who would have thought, Farouk I immediately stood up: "Come on, let's go and see what gifts the British have brought me, I can't wait for a minute." ”
Roliman shrugged helplessly at "Baron Andrew", Farouk I was such a person, what could he do?
When Farouk I saw the beautiful Maserati, his eyes lit up: "Oh my God, this is so beautiful, I have never seen such a beautiful car." All my 200 cars are a pile of rubbish compared to it."
Then, he couldn't wait to get on his new sports car and test drive it in the palace.
His ministers, with some helplessness, watched their king lose face in front of the English guests. But what's the solution? Who made the king have this temper?
Now, the only thing that the Egyptian ministers can hope for is that His Majesty the King must not use his "stunt" to steal something from an English baron, otherwise it could lead to diplomatic disputes
It was easy, and finally when Farouk I was satisfied with the stoppage of the sports car, he got out of the car in a hurry, he walked up, hugged Wang Weiyi fiercely, and then let go: "Mr. Baron, I thank you so much, this is the best gift I have ever seen." Aha, I've got a special dinner for you today to welcome you. Mr. Roliman, I think you should also participate. ”
After saying these words, he left the place in the company of his ministers, regardless of whether his guests agreed or not.
Such a king is really rare, Wang Weiyi smiled.
"Mr. Baron, I suggest you take a look to see if anything is missing," Roliman kindly reminded at this time.
"I don't think there's a chance he'll steal anything from me." Wang Weiyi checked it with a smile, and then the smile froze on his face.
Damn, one of my pocket watches is missing!
Farouk I may not have been a good king, but he was definitely a brilliant thief. The hug just now unknowingly stole Wang Weiyi's pocket watch.
It makes people laugh and cry, the pocket watch of the Skull Baron was actually stolen by a king! (To be continued......)
