Gilbert quickly took out the lighter and lit the telegram on the table. By the time he was about to alert London and smash the transmitter, the German agents had already jumped over the fence, jumped into the courtyard and rushed upstairs. After a while, the door was kicked open by German agents, and Gilbert was taken away along with his girlfriend Joyna.

The British agents became the spoils of "plundering operations" under the personal command of Colonel Firth and for which Major Wattle was responsible.

Everyone got the stolen goods, which made Colonel Wattel very unhappy.

But what to do with the British spy and his radio? After much deliberation, a bold plan matured in Wattle's mind - he wanted to control Gilbert's radio station in his own hands and still maintain contact with London in the name of a British secret spy. In this way, Wattle not only had access to the British military's intelligence, but also that the "plundering operation" could be successfully carried out.

However, Major Wattle knew that Gilbert was a key figure in the success of his plan. First of all, he must be brought to his knees, at his mercy, and not let the British see the flaws. In order to bring Gilbert to his knees, Major Wattle commanded his men to interrogate him for a long time. But Gilbert just didn't give in. The interrogation had been going on for a long time, and the record paper was still blank.

So Major Watel personally went out and began a psychological offensive against Gilbert. Like an old friend, he said to Gilbert from the bottom of his heart: "Mr. Captain, think carefully and cooperate with us. It will be good for you; If you continue to resist, you should know the consequences, and you will regret it when the time comes. ”

But. No matter how hard and soft Major Wattel tried, Gilbert was always tight-lipped about it. He had a bitter hatred for the Germans. How could he give in to these people?

Major Wattle saw that these tricks could not achieve his goal, so he had to resort to his most difficult "killer move".

Major Wattle said to Gilbert: "There is a limit to our patience. You can be silent, but you have to be responsible for another woman, and she is your girlfriend, Miss Joyna, that young and beautiful Egyptian girl! ”

Major Wattle said, pressing the electric bell button on the table. A side door was opened. Gilbert turned his head, stunned by what he saw: his beloved girlfriend, Joyna, had been stripped to her underwear and was being held tightly by several tall German agents.

"Gilbert. My dear! Help me," the fragile girl pleaded in fear and pain with tears in her eyes. She tried to break free from the evil hands and return to Gilbert's arms, but was held back by the German agents.

When Gilbert saw this, he couldn't help but be furious. "Let go of her. She is innocent! Gilbert stood up suddenly. But immediately he was pressed against the chair by several powerful hands.

Major Wattle smiled grimly: "No, Mr. Captain, how can you say that she is not guilty despite the facts?" Is it not sinful that she has provided you with a place to send your reports and even work with you? As a spy, she, like you, will be sentenced to death by hanging after we take Cairo. Or to be sent to some concentration camp in the East."

Hearing the bloody words that popped out of Major Waterl's mouth, Gilbert's face turned pale. Then. Gilbert heard Major Vatel say coldly, "However, since this girl is young and pretty, we do not want to send her to that kind of place at once. You know, being a spy is very lonely, and we also have the normal physiological needs of men, are you right, my dear Captain Gilbert? ”

"Well, I'll be happy to help." Gilbert finally couldn't take it anymore. For the sake of his girlfriend, he had to make compromises. He said in a deep voice, "I grant your request. However, I have one condition, you have to release my girlfriend right away! ”

"It's easy to do, you can release it on the spot now." Major Wattel agreed without hesitation.

"Also, you must ensure the safety of every British spy you capture." Gilbert thought about it and made another condition.

This time, Major Wattle was not so quick to agree. He just said that he didn't count it, but promised to report it to his superiors

The deal between Major Wattel and Gilbert finally got through. Major Wattle managed to take control of Gilbert and successfully completed the first step of Operation Plunder.

The next morning, at the behest of Major Watel, Gilbert's first disinformation was sent to the headquarters of the Secret Intelligence Service in London, about the situation in Cairo of the spy organization. In this telegram, Major Wattle also reported to his superiors his plan for the next move.

What Major Wattle never dreamed of, however, was that Gilbert, in his telegram to London, had subtly warned the headquarters in London, for before he had been sent to Cairo, the London Special Commission had agreed with him that the sixteenth word in all telegrams sent back to London must be deliberately misspelled as a sign of safety. If the 16th word of the telegram received from London is spelled correctly, it means that the telegram is fraudulent or that the sender has had an accident. In accordance with this agreement, Gilbert spelled every word accurately when he sent a telegram to his headquarters in London, England. Gilbert was sure that the intelligence officers at the headquarters in London would read the danger when they saw the cable.

However, for some reason, the London headquarters received such a telegram with an obvious warning code, and the intelligence officers did not seem to remember that there had been such an agreement, and did not realize that Gilbert had had an accident, but contacted him as usual. It was this negligence that led to a big mistake.

Gilbert then received a telegram from his headquarters in London stating that "Lawson will be sent to the headquarters. Captain Heaton has entered Cairo as a German with a radio station to assist you in your work, please be prepared for reception according to the prescribed signal", and listed in detail the location, time, contact signal and connection method.

When the message was translated from Gilbert's pen, his hands were shaking. This is not a false telegram to fool the Germans, its authenticity cannot be doubted. Lawson, who is about to be parachuted into the Netherlands. Heaton was not only a good friend of his, but also a classmate who was training in newspaper service at the same time as Gilbert. Seeing that he was about to fall into the clutches of Nazi Germany, like himself, could Gilbert not be worried? Gilbert was anxious, but helpless, so he honestly handed over the translated telegram to Major Wattel.

When Major Wattel saw this telegram, he could not help but feel a burst of ecstasy. Can he not be happy to see another British agent throw himself into the net? He immediately ordered his men to split up according to the telegram and prepare to capture Lawson alive. Heaton.

To the southeast of Cairo, there is a wasteland bordered by a dense forest. This was the place of the airdrop that had been predetermined in that telegram, and everything was going according to normal procedures. At this time, it was twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and in this wasteland, a flashlight was constantly shining brightly.

That's the connector code they agreed on

Major Wattel hides in the surrounding jungle with a group of German agents, and Gilbert is among them. After a while, a dark shadow appeared, it was Lawson. Heaton!

Lawson. Heaton greeted him cordially as he walked towards it: "Hello, Gilbert, you did a great job!" We're together again. ”

But Gilbert remained silent. Just as Doren was about to go up and hug his comrade, several jet-black muzzles were aimed at his chest. Lawson. Heaton couldn't help but exclaim, "Gilbert, what are you kidding!" ”

Before Doulen could finish speaking, Major Wattel waved his hand, and several German agents swarmed up and sent Lawson. Heaton tied up. That's it, Lawson. Heaton became Major Wattell's first prisoner and the first trophy after Operation Plunder.

Since then, the same situation has been repeated. Batch after batch of Allied intelligence officers carrying radios entered Cairo, and Major Watel took them all in one fell swoop.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of the "plundering operation", Major Wattel often ordered Gilbert to set up a smoke screen for the British intelligence agencies and send some information to the London intelligence agencies. Most of that information was fabricated by him, and even if it was true, it was an innocuous "afterthought," which not only had no value to the British intelligence agencies, but also produced a kind of strategic misdirection to the formulation of the British army's combat plan.

In order to deceive the trust of the British, Major Wattel went to great lengths.

By this means, Major Watel made the "plunder operation" a great success, and the harvest was getting bigger and bigger. It didn't take long for him to control 10 radio stations of the British spy organization, and constantly sent all kinds of information to the British intelligence agencies

These were all efforts for the German army to occupy Cairo.

Someone will succeed, someone will pay the price, but no matter what, from the first day they become spies, spies are already mentally prepared for this.

Now, Major Wattle has done his best, and all he is waiting for is when the Germans will be able to take Cairo, and he can appear on the streets of Cairo with his spies.

The sound of the cannon seemed to tell Major Watel the answer:

That day is coming soon! (To be continued......)
