Five hundred and ninety-nine. Cairo assassination
When Gilbert translated the telegram, he was very happy because he knew that Lawson Heatonton had already begun to doubt it. He showed the telegram to Major Watel. Major Watel certainly understood what was going on. But the radio station in Cairo must not be blown up, because it was the main communication tool of the German army, and he could not afford such a expensive price.
However, Major Wattle finally came up with a solution, asking Gilbert to call back in the name of Lawson Heaton and said, "The attack plan will be implemented in the near future, please wait for good news."
Four days later, a news came out of the Dutch newspaper controlled by the German army: "Last night, a group of militants attacked the Kotwick Radio, but were repelled by the defenders. Three of the attackers were killed, one of which was Lawson Heaton, the commander of the attack."
At the same time, London also received a telegram saying: "The attack failed and Captain Lawson Heaton was killed."
This is of course Major Watel's "masterpiece".
However, despite reports and telegrams, London was still worried, so it issued a new order requiring the British Egyptian intelligence organization to immediately open a new line of transportation to cover the Allied pilots shot down in North Africa to return to the UK.
However, such a mission is not difficult for Major Watel, because it will not endanger the safety of the "piracy" and there will be no price to pay. Therefore, with the help of German intelligence agencies, the traffic line was quickly established, and many of the incoming Allied pilots really returned to London safely.
The establishment of this traffic line caused the suspicion of the Special Operations Commission. They finally determined that the so-called intelligence from Lawson Heaton was the Gestapo's counter-espionage plan, and since then, they ignored any information in this area.
Lawson Heaton, who was in prison, knew nothing about all this happening outside the cell. When he saw that new British intelligence personnel were still arrested, he thought that Holmes had not sent the information out in time. So he decided to take a risk and try to escape from prison and flee back to London to call the police.
Lawson Heaton began to prepare for escape. He found that most of the windows of the cell were blocked by bricks, leaving only a small area above to transmit light. There were sentries patrolling the yard downstairs day and night. At night, several strong searchlights were facing the window, illuminating the entire prison and the yard as day. It would be impossible to escape from the window. He looked at the closed door again, and he found that although the cell was tightly closed, there was a fan-shaped ventilation window on the door. Lawson Heaton began to make plans from this door.
This prison was temporarily renovated. It was supposed to be a hotel before, and the internal structure has not been changed. The defense of the entire prison is loose inside and tight outside. There is only one mobile poster in the long corridor outside the door, but the courtyard wall is equipped with barbed wire mesh. There is a sentry every 200 meters outside the wall. In addition to sentries, each post is equipped with searchlights and police dogs. Although the warning is strict, there is not no way. On a storm night, Lawson Heaton unscrewed the plug of the air window above the door and took advantage of the sentry in the corridor to take a nap.
Husband, climbed out of the air window and hid into the bathroom diagonally opposite. The back of the building was very secluded. Lawson Heaton relied on the climbing skills he had practiced as a scout. He climbed through the bathroom window and slid to the ground along a drain pipe next to the window. He squatted under the wall and observed it for a while, and found that there was no movement, so he found a drain hole in the corner of the wall. The fence of the drain hole was broken, and a scrap steel bar fell there. Lawson Heaton used this scrap steel bar to pry open a few bricks and climbed out of the wall out of the hole.
The searchlights of the outpost swept across the wall from time to time. Taking advantage of the darkness, Lawson Heaton quickly entered a small wood. It was raining heavily and the guards did not find the escapee on the rainy night. So Lawson Heaton disappeared along a small river that was rising in water.
The next morning, Major Wattel was shocked after receiving the report of Lawson Heaton's escape, and his joyful mood over the past few days was wiped out. Because he knew in his heart that if Lawson Heaton was allowed to run back to London, his masterpiece, "Plundering Operation", would be dead.
Major Watel immediately directed the guards to search around the prison. However, as the heavy rain washed away all traces, even the police dogs could not find the target, and the search operation was found nothing. There was a small train station 3 kilometers away from the prison. Major Watel checked the train schedule at the railway station and found that in the early morning of every day... a train happened to pass by here, so Major Watel confidently concluded that Lawson Heaton must have left Harlen by car.
In fact, Lawson Heaton didn't go far after he escaped from prison that night, and hid in a monastery just two kilometers away from the prison.
Under the cover of the dean, Lawson Heaton kept hiding in the monastery.
At this time, Mussolini had arrived in North Africa
On November 28, 1942, the Italian champion Mussolini entered Cairo with great pride.
This arrogant man had long regarded Cairo, Egypt, and the entire North Africa as his own, and did not think that Germany would seize the interests of Africa with him.
But if it were Adolf Hitler, he might have done so, but for Ernst Breme, he would never give the benefits he received to others.
Especially Italy, the so-called "ally"
The welcome ceremony was quite grand. A large number of Egyptians appeared on the streets of Cairo at the request of the government, waving the flags of Germany, Egypt and Italy in their hands to welcome Mussolini.
Previously, the Germans had warned Mussolini that, given that Cairo had just captured it, there were still a large number of enemy agents active in the city, it was very unsafe and it was not recommended that Mussolini appear publicly.
But Mussolini, who likes to show off, rejected the Germans' kindness. He sat in a convertible and entered Cairo
His men stood in the convertible, constantly waving their hands to pay tribute to the welcome crowd, and he had to show his leadership style in front of the Egyptians.
A little disappointing is that most of the main Egyptian officials came out to welcome them, but no one of the senior German generals saw:
Ernst Bryme, Erwin Rommel, von Bismarck
Mussolini decided to further reduce the benefits when distributing Germany in order to punish Germany. At least Mussolini still regards himself as the "master" here.
Guo Yunfeng lay quietly on the roof of a building, and the sniper rifle specially provided by Xiaoling in his hand gave him a little confidence in his successful hitting target this time.
Although he didn't understand why the "Ramboyer" did this, what the "Ramboyer" always made sense.
The Italian man had already appeared. The Germans specially arranged the road to the city and the location selected by Guo Yunfeng himself made Mussolini's body completely exposed to the gun.
Shooting with such an advanced sniper rifle is sure to be foolproof
Killing him is definitely not a problem, but the difficulty is that it can only injure Mussolini, so no mistake can happen.
Guo Yunfeng took a deep breath, closed his eyes, then put his fingers back on the scope, and slowly touched the trigger.
That's now - shooting!
As the trigger was pulled, the bullet flew out like lightning
Mussolini, who was waving his arms, suddenly fell into the convertible. The noisy sounds around blocked the gunshots. Until Mussolini fell, the Italians around him suddenly became panicked.
"Assassin! Assassin!" Mussolini, who covered her shoulders, screamed heart-wrenchingly.
The surroundings were in chaos, and the Italians didn't know what to do at the first time. After a full minute, they realized that the people who saved the people and the guards.
The Germans in charge of the on-site security were also a little panicked. Although the Italian man was arrogant and annoying, he was the leader of German ally countries after all. If something happened here, it would be difficult to explain.
But where did the gunshots come from? The Egyptians who were unknown to the truth were everywhere nearby, and they were still waving their flags to welcome them. They would not know that the person they welcomed had been killed.
This is what Mussolini, who regards himself as the "ruler of Africa", experienced after finally entering the coveted Cairo.
And this seems to be an unknown premonition. Maybe it is indicating something.
Cairo Monastery.
When Lawson Heaton, who was hiding here, saw Major Watel appearing in front of him, he knew that everything was over.
"Lieutenant, you can always cleanse your soul in a monastery." Major Watel seemed very calm: "This is a country that believes in Islam, and there are too few monasteries here. Just now, I talked with the dean for a long time, and he has always refused to have someone like you. I am very disappointed. How can a devout monk lie before God?"
Lawson Heaton looked at the dean and found that the dean's face was pale and kept muttering something. He sighed: "This has nothing to do with the dean, I forced him to do this."
"Look, look, what a touching scene." Major Watel smiled: "Protect each other, no, they are covering each other. Unfortunately, you all have to go back with me."
After saying this, Major Watel's face suddenly sank:
Chapter completed!
