Chapter 81 81 Intelligence
The silent night is not eerie, there is no pedestrian in the noisy street, in the deep alley, a dark shadow moves slowly, and in the blink of an eye, it burrows into the door hole of the building next to it.
The black shadow dressed in black walked up the stairs gently, and the wooden staircase that was slightly old did not make a sound, making the black shadow look even more like a ghost, and the black shadow gradually approached a door, squatting down in front of this door, and after a few soft clicks, the door was pushed open by the black shadow with a gentle creaking.
By the bright moonlight, the black shadow slowly walked into the room, and there was a drunken snoring sound from the bedroom, and the corners of the black shadow in the night suit raised slightly, obviously the owner of this room did not notice him as an uninvited guest. He looked around vigilantly and saw the new German Navy uniform hanging on a hanger in the corner.
The black shadow walked gently to the side of the military uniform, reached out and touched the pocket of the military uniform, took out the wallet inside, and pulled out all the money inside. He looked at the officer's ID card of the owner of the house, and saw that his position was that of the combat staff officer of the naval intelligence department. The shadow smiled triumphantly, then tossed the little notebook aside.
Then he rummaged through the bookshelves on the side, and pulled out the older books on them and threw them on the sofa, the owner of the room apparently patiently rummaged through them one by one, but found nothing useful except the bookmarks inside. The owner of the room appears to be proficient in Russian, and his room has a lot of Russian books, and the text on his desk indicates that he is participating in a reassessment of the Soviet Navy.
He rummaged around the drawing-room, found a pocket watch, and a few kilos of cash, and the shadow seemed to be not satisfied with his gain, and carefully pushed open the door of the master's bedroom.
On the bedside table in the bedroom, a large Wen Jiàn bag attracted the attention of the black shadow, he tiptoed over and picked up the Wen Jiàn bag, and when the Wen Jiàn bag left the bedside table, a tube of pens pressed under it rolled up, fell to the floor with a snap, and rolled far away. The sound was harsh in the silence of the night, and the snoring of the housekeeper had stopped.
The black shadow was visibly frightened, and his hand reached to his waist, where the outline of a pistol was faintly faint, but the man on the bed did not get up, but rolled over and fell asleep motionless.
"Whew. The black shadow let out a long breath, put down his right hand, which had already touched the body of the gun, and then he slowly exited the bedroom, came to the living room, and opened the bag by the moonlight, which turned out to be a stack of drawings and a few evaluation numbers.
He opened the drawing, saw the lines on it, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, this turned out to be a super battleship named the Soviet class, armed with a terrible 406 mm main gun, and the performance exceeded all the existing battleships in Britain.
The black shadow didn't think about it, he just stuffed this information into the pocket he brought, he didn't stay for even a second longer, quickly retreated to the door, closed the door, and disappeared at the end of the stairs.
The dark shadow's name is Paul. And this Paul is a habitual thief, grew up in London, England, and later because he was wanted by the police, he smuggled to the European continent, has been active in France for many years, and only recently came to Berlin, the capital of Germany. Of course this is his official British resume, in fact he has an unknown identity, he is a spy for the British Navy's intelligence.
He had a master, the commander who provided his objectives, and he and his commander were in charge of investigating the real shipbuilding program of the German Navy, and after this commander had investigated who had brought Wen Jiàn home, he asked Paul to steal, and although he failed several times, this time he succeeded.
Although Accardo provided Britain with an incomplete version, the British government never believed that Germany would lose its ambition to compete for hegemony - even if Accardo's plan for Hades was true, this plan could definitely derive a follow-up plan, so the British intelligence service was running at a high speed, hoping to get the most real or follow-up.
However, this time the attack was crooked, and it was obvious that the British had discovered a bigger secret, and the Soviet Union, which they had ignored for a while or had no way to penetrate for a while, was actually carrying out a huge plan, and the ultimate goal of this plan was to challenge the most important lifeblood of the British Empire -- Britain's "sea power."
He quickly returned to his house with Wen Jiàn, poured Wen Jiàn in Wen Jiàn's bag on his single bed, found a brown leather bag, and put Wen Jiàn in the leather bag. Then he took off his black night coat, hid it in the mezzanine of the cabinet, changed into clean clothes, chose a thick gray trench coat, picked up his leather bag and prepared to go out.
When he reached the door, he felt that something was wrong again, walked back to the cupboard, took out the pistol from his night coat, stuffed it into the pocket of his jacket, and then looked at the already bright sky, and walked out of his apartment.
He knew that he could not go to his commander, because as soon as he found out that Wen Jien was missing, the Germans would immediately think of his superior, and it might not take a few hours for the Wehrmacht truck to drive down to the man's house, and now he was killing himself in the past, so he had to go into the British Embassy.
"When, when, when. Before dawn there was a knock at the door, and it was not polite to disturb a dream, and Colonel Smith, the military attache of the British Embassy in Germany, got up sleepily and walked to his door.
"Paul, what are you doing here? Do you know it's dangerous for us! The Germans are watching this place twenty-four hours a day!" Smith was startled when he saw the comer, and his drowsiness disappeared immediately, and he turned sideways to let Paul in: "Come in!"
"I, I didn't know there was being watched here! I'll give you the information and leave!" Paul panicked when he heard that this place was being watched. Still, he asked, "How do you know there's being watched?"
"Fools, because we also keep an eye on the German consulate twenty-four hours a day!" Smith felt that it would be a disaster to use charlatans as intelligence agents, who had no experience in spying at all, and were of no use other than to kill their colleagues and superiors.
"I've got important information! My boss may have been exposed! I can only come to you. Paul said, "I don't want to die!"
"What? You exposed the 'Six of Hearts'? Do you want me to bury you alive?" Smith was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily, "Do you know how many years it took the British Intelligence Department to bury such a nail?"
"I got a drawing, written in Russian! I couldn't read it, but I was trained and I confirmed that it was a ship, a very dangerous ship!" Paul said as he opened his purse and poured out the drawings.
Smith frowned, he did see important information from those drawings, because he saw the huge hull, heavy armor, and oversized guns. Because the ship was so big, the drawings were divided into a dozen pieces, but each piece shocked him, an expert.
It seemed that the life or death of the Six of Hearts was no longer important, he picked up the text on the ground, put it on his bed, and spliced them together piece by piece, finally forming a huge battleship drawing, and in the upper left corner, the name of the battleship was written in Russian - "USSZ".
With Smith's professional eye, he knew that the super battleship that the Soviet Union was developing was enough to challenge any type of warship of the British Navy, its terrifying 406 mm cannon could destroy British battleships lightly, and its armor protection was enough to protect the cannons of British battleships. The enemy that the British Navy was about to face was about to have such battleships, and it was worth sacrificing any cost for this intelligence.
"Oh my God, where did you get the blueprints?" Smith asked, looking at Paul in shock.
"The 'Six of Hearts' told me to steal it from a German officer! So I said he might have been exposed! I didn't dare to risk such important information, so I sent it here!" Paul said anxiously: "I'll go out now!
"Don't go! Just stay in my room! We'll try to keep you safe! The British Empire won't treat any of its friends badly!" Smith narrowed his eyes and said, "I think the Germans will come to the door in a little while." ”
He put on the white British Navy's military uniform, packed it into his bag, put it under his armpit, and said to Paul: "The maid will come up to clean up in a while, and you can ask her for breakfast! You can shout at her in the bedroom! Don't show your face! Remember! Don't walk around here! Don't let anyone see you again!"
"I, I see!" Paul said.
Going downstairs and passing through the courtyard, Smith walked into the office building of the British Embassy, and he looked at his adjutant who had arrived and gave an urgent order: "Call Mr. Ambassador! I have urgent information to send back to England! Use the latest password! Bring the miniature camera! Hurry up! Wait for me to invite you to coffee?"
Then he turned back and confessed to a female diplomat: "You take people with you, and try to delay the Germans! If they want to search, you must hold me back! Call General Accardo Rudolph! and say that I have something important to ask to meet him!"
"What's wrong, Colonel?" asked the diplomat, shocked.
"What's going on? We're going to give up diplomatic pressure on Germany, and we're going to put a stop on the big German party and the Wehrmacht, and we're going to have to compromise this time!" Smith said close to the diplomat's ear: "Go and get Accardo! If he doesn't come, strip naked and beg him to come!"
