Five hundred and forty-two. General Montgomery (10th Shift)
Farouk I's balls, though only to satisfy his desire to live a life of luxury, brought a touch of relief to the tense atmosphere of war.
When Wang Weiyi stepped into the palace, he knew how many big people with heads and faces came this time.
Mr. Stolly, British Ambassador to Cairo; Mr. Airy, U.S. Ambassador to Cairo; General Alexander, commander-in-chief of the British forces in the Middle East, and General Montgomery, commander-in-chief of the British 8th Army
All the British people here would never dream of one thing, their worst enemy, the Skull Baron, is with them!
Even, when Mr. Roliman introduced the "Baron Andrew" to General Alexander and General Montgomery, the two British supreme commanders in Egypt did not have any relationship with the young baron and the baron of skeletons at all!
"Mr. Baron, you have the Toxon family's adventurous genes flowing through you." General Alexander startled Wang Weiyi with a mouth: "I remember many years ago, I met your father, Baron Andrew, the Elder, when you were very young, the old Baron always likes to venture everywhere, and he has personally come to Egypt to explore, I didn't expect that after so many years, I can still meet his descendants here."
Wang Weiyi shouted in his heart, the real Baron Andrew happened to be in London now.
Fortunately, Alexander hadn't visited the Toksen family in many years, otherwise he would have been exposed now.
"My father has also mentioned you to me many times." Wang Weiyi smiled and said, "He said that you are the bravest general in Britain"
Alexander had a smile on his face: "This is General Montgomery, the same. He was also Britain's finest general. General Bernard, talk to the baron for a while, I need to pay a visit to the king. Discuss the issue of logistics support and transport personnel"
General Alexander took his leave for the time being, and looking at the world-famous British general in front of him, Wang Weiyi expressed his respect and asked, "General Montgomery, do you think we can achieve the most victorious victory?" ”
"I don't know what to do." Montgomery's answer was unexpected: "The Germans, though they suffered some defeats, were clearly not so easily defeated." Especially recently, that Baron Alexon actually appeared in Africa and re-commanded the Afrika Korps. This is going to be a big confusion for us. ”
It is undoubtedly a joy to be praised in the mouth of an enemy, especially when it comes from the mouth of the famous general Montgomery. Wang Weiyi smiled faintly: "What about you?" I think you are perfectly capable of being an opponent of Baron Alexon. After all, even Marshal Rommel was defeated at your hands"
"Nope. To be precise, Marshal Rommel was not defeated at my hands, he was defeated at the hands of his own people and allies. Montgomery's expression was very serious: "His Afrika Korps almost ran out of fuel before launching a reluctant attack. But they are still fighting us stubbornly. and caused us great suffering. I don't think we would have been able to win if he had plenty of fuel and tanks, and I don't think it would have been a wise choice for Germany to choose Italy as its ally."
This is the sore spot of Wang Weiyi again
Adolph. Hitler misunderstood his meaning and thought that he wanted to defeat Russia in a blitzkrieg, so he launched the "Barbarossa" plan. Hitler mistakenly believed that an incompetent ally would be easier for Germany to contain, and completely ignored the great damage that the Italian army could inflict on its allies on the battlefield
But what can be done? Things have come to this point. All I can do now is how to save it
"As for the Skeleton Baron," Montgomery was silent, "Seriously, in the Battle of the Somme many years ago. I almost got beaten to death by him."
"What?" This time, it was Wang Weiyi who really exclaimed.
Nearly killed Montgomery yourself?
Montgomery did not hide anything and told the story of the incident.
Wang Weiyi suddenly realized that this was the case. I didn't know what happened so many years ago. If Montgomery had been killed that time, what would have happened now?
Wang Weiyi didn't dare to imagine it anymore
"To others, it's a shame, but I'm not embarrassed at all if I fall at the hands of the Skeleton Baron." A smile appeared on Montgomery's face, "How many people in this world can escape from the hands of the Skeleton Baron?" And I'm one of them. I'm always boasting to people that even the Skeleton Baron can't kill me."
Wang Weiyi laughed and laughed.
The same thing is seen differently in the eyes of different people.
For example, Montgomery:
- Not even the Skull Baron can kill me!
That's how he thinks of the nightmares he's been through.
A good mindset is a prerequisite for a person's success, especially for military commanders
"General Montgomery, His Majesty the King and General Alexander, please come over for a moment."
"Absent, Baron."
"Okay, you're busy, General."
Seeing General Montgomery gone, Wang Weiyi called a waiter in the palace: "Who is the new military attache of the US Embassy, Mr. Dort?" ”
The waiter looked for a moment, then pointed to a place: "Mr. Dott is there." ”
"Thank you." Wang Weiyi walked slowly over there
Mr. Dott was chatting with the two beauties, Wang Weiyi stood behind and listened for a while, and then said slowly: "Mr. Dot, can I disturb you?" ”
Dott turned around and saw that it was a stranger, a little strange: "You are?" ”
"I'm Andrew, Baron Toxon, from England."
"Ah, Baron Andrew, the one who won a lot of money in the palace yesterday, right?" Dott smiled: "Girls, I'm sorry, I have something to do with Mr. Baron, let's go there and talk about it"
Coming to the side, Dott asked for two glasses of wine and handed one to "Baron Andrew": "Mr. Baron, do you have anything to do with me?" ”
"Greetings to Mr. Elliot of Wittgenstein Manor." Wang Weiyi said lightly.
The flesh on Dort's obvious face jumped: "Ah, I don't recognize any Mr. Eliot"
"Look, our conversation wasn't very pleasant at first." At this time, the music sounded, a pair of men and women entered the dance floor, looking at these men and women, Wang Weiyi said calmly: "Wittgenstein Manor has given you too much help in your most difficult time, you once swore that only they need it, and you will repay them at all costs, but now you actually say that you don't recognize your benefactor?" Your wife, Nancy, who forgets the kindness of others, will always be punished by God, is a beautiful lady."
"What do you want to do?" Dort's complexion changed dramatically.
"We can give you everything, and we can destroy everything for you." Wang Weiyi said unhurriedly: "The Wittgenstein family provides you and your family with a fee of five thousand dollars every year, so that you can live better than anyone else, this time the US stock market crashed, and your stock was destroyed in the stock market, but you quickly got a check for $10,000." But what about you, who actually said that you don't recognize your benefactor? ”
Dott sighed: "I beg your pardon, Mr. Baron, I think you are British, so I dare not admit some things in front of you, I did not expect that you really knew Mr. Elliot." ”
"Of course I know him." Wang Weiyi smiled: "Moreover, he also told me that in fact, your real identity is a Jew, right?" ”
Dott smiled bitterly, the baron knew everything
"Jews, though not as miserable as they are in Germany, are discriminated against by the majority of people in the United States and in Europe. Even in the Soviet Union, the reason why no one knew about your Jewishness was because someone kept it a secret for you. Wang Weiyi took a sip of wine: "If your identity is revealed, I think you may not be as beautiful as you are today."
Dott sighed again: "I'm sure you won't say these things to me for no reason. Baron Andrew, what is the matter with you coming to me today? Well, I'll do everything I can to help. ”
"You've just been transferred to Cairo to take your place, and I think you know what your predecessor did, right?"
Dott nodded, his predecessor, Colonel Firth, the U.S. military attache in Cairo, was a spy for the Germans
"I want you to do the same thing that Colonel Firth once did."
When "Baron Andrew" said this, Dott shuddered: "Who the hell are you?" ”
Hell, an English baron actually wants to be a spy for the Germans himself?
"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that I am the one who can help you the most, my dear Colonel Dort." Wang Weiyi's face was still so relaxed: "I will ask people to add an additional 30,000 US dollars to your annual living expenses, which is a huge amount of money." ”
"No, never!" Colonel Dott said categorically: "I will never betray my country, I will never betray the interests of the country, from now on, I will not take another dollar from you, I swear, never!" ”
He replied in such a sure that he could do anything for the Wittgensteins, but that he would be unfortunate to be a spy, no, it would never be possible!
Wang Weiyi smiled faintly: "It's too late!" (To be continued......)
