Five hundred and seven. General Lawson (3rd Shift Monthly Pass)
The Germans began a major march on Ankara with an alarming pace.
Up to this time, the Turks were unaware of the fact that their greatest enemy, Ernst. Brem is now in Ankara, right under their noses.
Even if you tell the Turks now, maybe they won't believe it.
Who would believe such ridiculous information?
On the streets of Ankara, with the advance of the German troops, it became noticeably tense.
A large number of Turkish soldiers and policemen appeared, constantly checking every suspicious person in the past, which had never been done before.
In command of these operations was Second Lieutenant One, a British adviser specially hired by the Turkish Ministry of Intelligence.
Ensign Erné saw Kahn's escape as a lifelong disgrace, and he vowed to wash away the shame by capturing Kahn and the lawless Germans with his own hands.
He personally took some Turkish intelligence officers and sternly interrogated those he thought were suspicious in the streets, and Henry, the British intelligence chief in Ankara, joined in the assistance
As Wang Weiyi predicted, the living conditions of German spies in Ankara suddenly became bad
Fortunately, these German spies, under the command of Major Herbert, took early contingency measures
Ensign One was a little annoyed, and two full days had passed, and there was still no news of Karn.
He was sure that Karn and those spies were hiding in Ankara, but the question was where they were now?
"Sir. Stand still! "Ensign Ourne spotted a young couple, judging by their attire, probably British. Only the British would dress themselves so rigorously: "British? ”
"Ahh Yes, sir. The man took off his hat and nodded to Ensign One, before putting it back on: "I'm Louis from London. Andrew. George. Baron Tokson, this is my wife, Kelly. Torkson. ”
The English with a strong London accent made Ensign Ourne feel very cordial, and when he heard that the other party turned out to be Baron Andrew, Ensign Ensign Ernet became even more respectful: "Mr. Baron." Welcome to Ankara. ”
"Ah, thank you, Second Lieutenant." Andrew Baron Toxon was polite and authentic.
"Look. Is there a café here, can we go in and have a drink? "Ensign Erné extended an invitation to the baron.
"Ah, it's my pleasure."
Baron Andrew accepted the invitation, and Mrs. Toxon always held her husband's arm. A sweet look.
What an enviable couple. Ensign Erné admired inwardly.
After taking a seat for coffee, Ensign Ene said: "Baron, now that war is about to break out in Ankara, what are you doing here at this time?" ”
"Ah, for the British, there is no dangerous place we dare not go, right?" Toxen showed no concern at all: "Now that the German shells are falling, we should also patiently finish this cup of coffee." ”
A sense of pride suddenly welled up in Ensign Ourne's heart.
Yes. This is the real British, fearless!
"As for me? I promised my wife to come to Ankara for a tour. My husband and wife always like to travel around the world. Mr. Toksen looked at his wife affectionately: "Even under the bayonets of the Germans, we still have to finish the trip to Ankara." ”
"Allow me to express my respect for your heroism and romance." Ensign Erné said respectfully, "However, there are some places I do not recommend you visit. You probably don't know yet, a German spy has escaped, and we are capturing him. And the checks in these places will be more severe than ever. Of course, I'll tell you where these places are. ”
That's a nice bonus," Baron Andrew thought to himself
Ensign Erné told Baron Andrew about the "places that should not go" without reservation, which also made Baron express his gratitude very "grateful".
Now, I probably have some numbers in my heart, where the investigation is strict, and where it is more relaxed.
The Baroness and Ensign Erné had a very pleasant conversation, and an hour passed without realizing it.
Baron Andrew looked at the time: "Ensign, thank you for your coffee, I think it's time for us to take our leave, my wife still has a lot to see." ”
"Ah, I was about to say that." "Our General Rosen is about to arrive in Ankara, and I will be in charge of his security in Ankara at the same time," said Ensign Ioné. It was the hero of the Somme, where he lost an arm, but never left his beloved army. ”
"General Rosen?" Baron Andrew was stunned: "Heroes of the Somme? ”
"Yes?" Ensign Ourne's eyes flashed with pride: "He is not only a good general, but also an upright gentleman, you have probably heard of the German skeleton baron, right?" When Baron Skeleton was tried by the Berlin Special Military Tribunal, General Rosen resolutely stepped forward and washed himself away for Baron Skeleton at the Berlin Special Military Tribunal! ”
"Baron Andrew" laughed at the old friend, and another old friend came
What kind of expression would General Rosen have if he had stood in front of him now and seen him?
"General Rosen, welcome." In the office of the President, President Inonu of the Republic of Turkey received General Rosen from England and expressed his welcome.
German forces are rapidly approaching Ankara, and President Inonu envisions that Ankara alone will not be able to defend the Turkish capital on its own.
Britain and the Soviet Union are the forces he must rely on!
Now that the first British aid has arrived, it will be much more certain to defend Ankara if the British and Soviet troops can directly enter the war
After giving General Rosen a brief introduction to the situation in Ankara, Inonu couldn't wait to ask: "General, take the liberty of asking, when will the British army be able to enter the war?" ”
"We need to prepare." General Rosen's expression was very serious: "Ankara will have to hold out for more than half a month before waiting for our first batch of reinforcements." And I will say that the Russians are simply moving too slowly, they should have reached Ankara a long time ago. ”
Inonu was a little helpless.
The British were counting on the Russians to be the first to enter the war, while the Russians were looking forward to the early entry of the British into Ankara.
They know the importance of Ankara, and no one wants to abandon Turkey as an ally, but they don't want to drain their strength too soon
The strange mentality prompts the two countries to look at each other
The question is how he can make the British general adviser in Ankara aware of the current situation
"Swelling. Ambassador Lehr, what is the real situation in Ankara? ”
After meeting President Inonu, in the British embassy in Ankara, General Rosen asked with a serious face.
"Not very well, General." Swelling. "Although 500,000 Turkish troops have been gathered here, it is difficult for me to believe that the Turks will be able to achieve victory without external assistance," Liel replied honestly. ”
"They're facing the Skull Baron," General Rosen sighed.
Within him, there was a deep-seated fear of the Skull Baron, though he himself did not want to admit it.
He could never forget the terrible thing that had happened in the Somme
"Actually, I myself am not in favor of such a war," said Swelling. In front of Ambassador Lehr, General Rosen did not want to hide his true thoughts: "I have exchanged views with many people, including Sir Montrington, that Germany has shown that it wants to negotiate, and this is a golden opportunity for Britain, we need to adjust ourselves, time is more important than anything else, and intervening in the war with Turkey at this time will only make our already very tight supplies and military resources even more strained."
Swelling. Ambassador Lehr nodded approvingly, having previously agreed with General Rosen.
"Isn't it ironic that our government has given me the task of serving as the chief adviser of the Turkish army in Ankara?" General Rosen smiled sarcastically: "The problem is that I am a soldier, and it must be my duty to obey orders. ”
Swelling. Ambassador Liel heard the helplessness in the general's words.
Yes, the military must make it their duty to obey orders, but have those domestic guys thought about anything else?
How to reconcile the contradictions between Britain and the USSR if the frantic offensive of the Germans was stopped?
Both countries have their own interests in Turkey, and neither is willing to give up, even if the British and Soviet armies do enter the war, who will command these forces in a unified manner?
General Rosen sighed: "When I was in the Somme, I once faced the Skull Baron, but I failed that time, and I never thought that I would have to face him again. If the Skull Baron were now commanding his army to attack England, I would not hesitate to die for my country, but not outside of England."
Swelling. Ambassador Lell faintly heard some of General Rosen's words.
If I didn't guess wrong, this "hero of the Somme" is still probably still overshadowed by that captivity, right?
A former loser, when facing a winner, can his mentality adjust in time?
When Skeleton Baron Ernst. The moment Bream finally appeared, did General Rosen have the courage to face it all?
No one can answer this question, including General Rosen.
Now, let's just hope that this never happens! (To be continued......)
