Chapter 82 82 Doing Business
Accardo had a rare restful night's sleep, he had too many things to do lately, dealing with the diplomatic pressure exerted on Germany by Britain and France and other countries, and on the other hand, he had to stabilize the feelings of the people at home to build momentum for the Greater German Party as much as possible.
"Anna, what's the plan for today!" Accardo asked the life secretary who walked in with breakfast as he stretched.
"There is an internal meeting of the Greater German Party to attend in the morning, but according to my personal analysis, this meeting is only to discuss the distribution of some raw materials for products, and there is no need to attend in person, just pay attention to the results afterwards. Anna reported as she put breakfast on Accardo's table.
She glanced at Accardo, "But I haven't noticed you going out for a tryst lately, can you tell me how you know a British female diplomat named Aisha?"
"Aisha, I don't know her, where did you hear from her?" Accardo asked for a moment, then chewing down on a slice of bread.
"She's downstairs, and I told her that you didn't get up, and she waited downstairs, and she asked me to tell you that she's in love with you!" Anna quipped, recounting the gossip she'd heard.
"Joke, I haven't even seen her. Accardo waved his hand and said, "Ignore her, let her wait." ”
"Last night, the home of a lieutenant colonel in the Navy, who was studying Soviet problems, was stolen and a drawing of a Soviet battleship was lost. Anna laughed and mentioned the events of last night: "This morning the Gestapo and the police were dispatched to arrest a high-ranking British spy who had been lurking for a long time. ”
"I think I can guess why the British diplomat fell in love with me!" Akado touched his chin and laughed, "It looks like they got what we wanted them to get." ”
"Did we do it on purpose?" Anna was stunned, looked at Accardo in shock, and couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, is there a more cost-effective business than selling the intelligence of the Soviets to alleviate our present crisis? Now they have no energy to pester us, but they have asked us to tell the interrogators to do it later! I need to talk to the British. Accardo thought for a moment and then ordered, "Prepare, let's go meet this British diplomat who 'fell in love' with me!"
"Tell me something!" asked Accardo, munching on bread and splitting the fried egg with a knife and fork, "I have limited time, so I'll pick up the important ones as much as I can." ”
"Colonel Smith wants to see you. The diplomat said, "Please be sure to visit the embassy once in the morning." ”
"He can come to me if he has something, Colonel Smith and I are friends, and we've always been used to going to each other when someone has a problem, and it's polite, isn't it?" asked Accardo with a smile.
"Please!" the female diplomat was about to burst into tears, she couldn't really sleep with the German......s, could she? What the hell am I thinking?!, after a long time of internal struggle, the female diplomat said something that made Accardo squirt: "You just agree to my request, and I will come again tonight." ”
"Alright! Alright!" Accardo waved his hand helplessly, "I'll go after breakfast! ”
What do you mean by something that makes you helpless? Do you still feel at a loss when such a beautiful woman as I accompany you all night? The female diplomat was obviously a little angry, but also a little regretful. Still, she thanked Accardo for his help: "Thank you. ”
Soon, Accardo's car drove out of the Wehrmacht General Headquarters and headed for the British Embassy, which was already surrounded by Wehrmacht.
......
"Stand back! It is very rude to surround the embassy of our British friends! We are a peace-loving country in Germany!" said Accardo as he got out of the car and said to the Wehrmacht colonel who had come to open the door for him.
"Long live the Great German Party!" obey the order! Your Excellency General!" the colonel stood up and saluted, and then gave the battalion commander behind him an order: "Tell your men to step back 5 meters!"
"Accardo, my dear friend, I am so glad you to come. Smith was as excited as he was to see Accardo get out of the car, as if he had seen his own father.
Because at this moment around the British Embassy, hundreds of German soldiers were under martial law, and barbed wire was even pulled up at the gate, and these soldiers would rush into the British Embassy at the sound of an order, searching for the suspects they wanted to arrest. After receiving the order, they stepped back neatly, which relieved several British soldiers who were in charge of the security of the British Embassy.
"Colonel Smith, my friend, I didn't say you, you Britons have gone too far this time!" said Accardo in a whisper as he leaned closer to Colonel Smith.
"I feel that everything has a price, and I think as a friend, the British Empire will not let you down. Smith replied quietly.
"Colonel Gough, tell your men to stand by while Colonel Smith and I go upstairs to talk. Accardo turned around and commanded loudly.
"Colonel Smith! You must give me a reasonable explanation. As soon as Accardo entered the room, he sat down on the couch: "This is not a trivial matter, a lieutenant colonel and two generals are still in the Wehrmacht's interrogation section, and a Mr. Thief is hiding from you! We did, however, lose an important piece of intelligence that was important to Germany. ”
"How important?" asked Colonel Smith, "I can't give a reasonable explanation, I can only pay a reasonable price, I confess that we have been spies in Germany, but I want to bring our men back to England safely." ”
"This information is really important. Accardo narrowed his eyes: "We finally arranged for such a * proletarian person to go to the 189 factory in the Soviet Union, if this drawing is discovered by Soviet intelligence officers, then my people are very dangerous." ”
"If he can continue to send back information! He can be the target of both Britain and Germany! We will give 500,000 pounds for each piece of information. "I will assure him that only the Prime Minister and the Commander of the Navy will be able to see his information," Smith said. The level of confidentiality is the highest. ”
"Forget it, your most classified intelligence officer is drinking coffee in my interrogation section right now!" Accardo smiled, "But if you can ensure the security of this information to the greatest extent, I still believe in the sincerity of the British side." ”
"Thank you. Smith let out a breath and sat down on the couch across from Accardo, "Also, can you tell me about the ship? ”
"Of course, you're right, because the naval shipyard in Kiel is almost at a standstill, so we've put about half of our engineers on leave so far. Accardo said helplessly: "About 30 of the engineers on leave were invited to Leningrad by the Soviet power, and intelligence showed that they were building a powerful battleship for the Soviet Union. ”
"Oh my God!" Smith sighed with a frown, British intelligence knew that Germany was helping the Soviet Union build an industrial system, and that there were a large number of German engineers still working for the Red regime in the Soviet Union, but he could not imagine that the military cooperation between the two sides had reached such an unbelievable level.
"How can we put an end to your cooperation? To put it simply, if Germany does not stop helping the Soviet Red Regime, then Britain will regard Germany as the most dangerous country in the world. Smith looked at Accardo, pondered his words, and spoke.
"I think you've misunderstood!" Accardo said with a stern expression on his face: "The cooperation between Germany and the Soviet Union is non-governmental, not us-led!"
He sighed and said: "Our industry, especially the military industry, has been suppressed after the war, you know that, so we can't retain those senior engineers who are really capable, and the factories sometimes secretly send talents to the Netherlands, Slovakia and other countries and regions in order to make a profit." ”
"I hope that the Wehrmacht and the Greater German Party will help Britain to prevent this from happening any further. Smith thought for a moment, nodded in agreement with Accardo's words, and then said, "The British Empire will repay you." ”
"I think that if the shipyards in Kiel could start customizing two super-battleships for the British, there would be enough reason for these engineers to stay in Germany. Accardo closed his eyes and pondered for a long time before he spoke, "We only collect the wages of the workers and the funds for raw materials. ”
"No problem. Smith nodded and said, but his heart was dripping blood - it would be a shame for the British Empire to let the shipyards of its old rival, Germany, steal the jobs of its own shipwrights!
"Germany is to keep a record of all the spies of the British crime, and secretly send them both back to England. Accardo then asked, "I didn't ask to hang them, and I left the information just to make sure they wouldn't enter Germany again." You're not going to say no to this request, are you?"
"No problem. Smith sighed and said that he was able to save his own people's lives was already overfulfilled, and compared with the Soviet shipbuilding program, the Germans' requirements were not excessive, and it could even be said that they had given the British enough face.
"Mr. Smith is really reasonable. Accardo laughed, then got up and said, "Compared to these conditions, what I am talking about now is the basis for our future cooperation." ”
He put on a military hat and black leather gloves: "I think the British government should come forward and give the Greater German Party and the Wehrmacht no existence at all, that is, to draw a successful end to this turmoil, right?"
"Accardo, I knew you were going to call for this. Smith stood up helplessly: "For the sake of our future cooperation, I invite you to have a drink!"
