Chapter 101: My own people
Inside the city of Maputo.
"You betrayed us, why?" Davis uttered this sentence almost through gritted teeth.
Traitors are the most hateful, especially this Portuguese traitor, if he is really defeated head-on by East Africa, then Davis will definitely be convinced, but because the traitor betrayed, or the traitor of the Portuguese led to his defeat, it would be too unwilling, even if it was because of the traitor in his country, Davis would feel better.
The Portuguese "traitor" named Owen in front of him felt a little embarrassed, and he did not answer Davis's question directly but said: "The war has been fought so far, and everyone knows that the coalition is over, so smart people naturally know how to choose." ”
"You ......" Davis hadn't spoken yet.
Merk interrupted what he was about to say, "Don't be held accountable at this time, it's a fact that Maputo City has fallen into our hands, and it's better for General Davis to cooperate well, after all, you are all pillars of various countries, and you still have to return to China to serve in the future, as for Mr. Owen's abandonment of darkness and light, it also shows that it is not just for you to start this war." ”
"Alas, it's just a matter of becoming a king and defeating a villain! It's futile to say anything now. "Davis has come to terms with his fate.
However, seeing that Owen was on the side, the old god was there, and he said very unhappily: "You'd better deal with this white-eyed wolf, after all, a person who can betray the country can also betray his master again, I think such a person is not welcomed anywhere." ”
Owen didn't take a burden on Davis's words, but looked like a clown, but he hid it well, but there was an imperceptible glint in his eyes.
……
After a "cordial" exchange with Davis, Merk and the rest of the East African elite decided to imprison Davis first, a big fish, second only to Count Roberts and Governor Bougivall.
And out of the mansion, at this time Merk asked with great interest: "Mr. Owen, what motives you made such an abnormal move?" ”
Merk certainly doesn't have any good feelings about this leading party, although Davis is suspected of sowing discord, but what he said is also the truth, no one likes betrayal.
Owen did not shy away from saying at all: "Viscount Merk, this is not an abnormal move for me to do, but for the sake of the kingdom thoroughly. ”
"Hmmm! Are you still a patriot? Then why did you sell Portugal! That's not good for you, right? And it is not in line with what you say about the kingdom. Merk asked.
Owen pushed his eyes and said, "Viscount Merke, do you think there is a possibility that I myself am not Portuguese, but East African!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the scene instantly became quiet! Everyone seemed to hear terrible news.
Looking at the scene where everyone was stunned, Owen was very happy in his heart, and he said to everyone: "I am actually a kingdom, of course, I am an intelligence officer of the Hexingen Kingdom in advance, I have been an East African lurking in Portugal from the beginning, of course, I need to re-contact my superiors before I can confirm my identity, so I need your help to contact my superiors first, and someone will prove my identity later." ”
"Then why didn't you say it before, but only reveal your identity now?" Someone asked.
"After all, there were Portuguese and British people around me at that time, which is not in line with our secrecy regulations, and I also hope that you will not talk about this matter casually, everything will have to wait for the decision of the central government."
"How did you get into the position of the enemy commander?" Merk also asked curiously.
"This is actually a complete misunderstanding, I was originally on a mission in Maputo, but two months ago, because the Portuguese recruited troops in the city, I was forcibly conscripted, plus a little skill, so I was unexpectedly favored by a high-ranking Portuguese official, and then promoted to this position." Owen explained.
The Portuguese have no identification, especially in a place like the colony, so Owen, who speaks an authentic "Lisbon" accent, can easily live with a fake identity in the city of Maputo.
Originally, according to Owen's idea and the orders of his superiors, he had been in Maputo for a long time to find out information and pass it back to East Africa, but an accident occurred.
As the war progressed, the Portuguese began to eat meat and vegetarians, and in addition to blacks, Mozambican whites also began to be conscripted into the army, of course, in layman's terms.
Later, Owen, a slightly cultured Portuguese peddler, was also drawn into the army, which broke Owen's rhythm in Maputo, and because of the blockade of the war, Owen did not have time to get in touch with his superiors.
So Owen could only fish in troubled waters in the Portuguese army, and then unknowingly achieved the "high position" of the regimental commander.
Of course, this is also related to the unfavorable war in Mozambique, with the lack of a large number of troops on the front line, the army formed by the Portuguese later was basically a general among the short men, and an excellent talent like Owen, a "civil and military all-rounder", unexpectedly became the head of a new regiment.
Of course, to achieve the position of regiment commander, there are naturally people staring at it, such as Owen's group of "Portuguese" brothers, so the night before the Maputo uprising, Owen was very nervous, very afraid that the Portuguese soldiers would report him.
However, what Owen didn't expect was that his actions were not opposed, and he was successfully "supported" by the soldiers below.
Of course, the support is a bit exaggerated, but no one objected, and the Portuguese soldiers were already very war-weary, and Owen, the spy chief, was instigated, so everyone was at ease to "join the enemy".
It's just that even the Portuguese couldn't imagine that Owen was actually a lone wolf infiltrated by East African intelligence agents into the Portuguese army.
However, this is also deserved, if it weren't for the behavior of the Portuguese high-level "catching strong men", maybe Owen would still be staying in an unknown corner of Maputo now.
For Owen's experience, all the officers of the East African Defense Force felt incredible, and this kind of plot actually came into reality, and even let everyone encounter it.
"Captain Owen, although your explanation is very reasonable, but just in case, before we can confirm your true identity, we will send someone to keep an eye on you." Merk said.
Owen: "Of course, no problem, but before you let me identify myself, I have a connection, I don't know if he is still in Maputo." ”
After all, after the tyranny of Portugal, many innocent Portuguese were involved in the war, and nine times out of ten, Owen's connector was also forcibly conscripted, after all, the fake identity background was not hard enough, and the Portuguese also watched people cook, like this kind of "Portuguese" people with no background were directly arrested in the barracks, and directly sent to the battlefield the next day, so now it is a mystery whether Owen's connector is still alive.
"What if your connector goes missing?"
Owen said: "Then you can only go back to Dar es Salaam City and contact your superiors directly, I think you should have heard of the East African Defense Security Agency, I am one of them, of course, I can only say so much." ”
After hearing the words of the Defense and Security Bureau, everyone's suspicion of Owen has gone to most of it, this organ is quite secretive, ordinary people can't touch it, of course, the military top brass is still relatively clear.
The military also has a military intelligence department, so I know a little about this brother department, but everyone's business scope is different, I didn't expect that now the National Defense Security Agency can be mixed into the Portuguese army and become a high-level officer, which is outrageous.
