601. Justice Monthly Pass)
At this time, Tamusta and the "Egyptian Army Corps" he led did not know that a disaster was approaching them quietly.
Tamusta's home became the place for these Egyptian officers to gather. Here they commented on the situation in Egypt and discussed the Germans' new colonial rule over Egypt.
In particular, the Egyptian government has decided to send the first 200,000 troops to the Axis powers, and Tamusta's resignation has caused an uproar among these officers.
In the eyes of these officers, General Kanlemu is a hero, and Tamusta is also a hero. They once fought for Egypt's freedom in close contact. They once fought together regardless of life and death, but now after the victory, everything has changed?
Tamusta told his companions that he would not actually resent General Kanlemu because of the loss of his official position. As long as Egypt can truly gain freedom, he would be willing to sacrifice his life even if he sacrificed his life.
However, judging from the current situation in Egypt, it is too difficult to achieve this goal.
Tamusta was not discouraged. He firmly told their companions that not every Egyptian was willing to accept the colonial rule of the Germans. As long as they worked tirelessly, the dream they pursued would soon come.
They also received the news that the Italian man Mussolini was assassinated, which made them add some topics of discussion, and were also very interested in who carried out this assassination.
"I think we are the fighters who have the same dream of liberating Egypt as we do," Tamusta said with certainty: "So we are not fighting alone."
"General, general, there are many Germans outside"
Before the housekeeper could finish his words, a large group of German soldiers had already rushed in. The Egyptian officers were shocked. Some of them turned their hands deep into the pistols at their waists, but when they saw the Germans pointing their black muzzles at them, they reluctantly retracted their hands.
When they were all disarmed, Colonel Fells and General Kanlemu walked in one after another.
"General, what's going on?" Tamusta didn't want to pay attention to Colonel Fels at all, but asked General Kanlemu loudly.
General Kanlemu glanced at him and sighed
"Tamusta Ahmabi, you were captured for being involved in the assassination of Mussolini, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Italy." Colonel Fels said at this time.
Tamusta looked at him coldly: "I really want to do this, but I don't have a chance."
"We have already got the conclusive evidence, Tamusta Ahmabi." Colonel Fels's voice was also cold: "And most of your officers here have been secretly linked to the British intelligence agencies in an attempt to carry out a new mutiny and overthrow the existing Egyptian government. You must all go with us."
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately caused a commotion among the Egyptian officers. Some of them began to curse, some began to distinguish themselves, and some even cursed loudly.
Tamusta stared at all this suddenly, and he now knew what was going on:
The Germans have lost their last patience with them and have officially taken action!
He stopped the angry officers and stared at General Kanlemu: "General, are you here to arrest us too?"
Until now, he still holds a last glimmer of hope for General Kanlemu
But when he saw General Kanlemu nodding with a heavy expression, Tamusta's last glimmer of hope was also lost. He sighed long: "General, you are wrong, you are really wrong. Our ideal free Egypt should not be like this."
"Now we are not considering the issue of freedom of Egypt, but our freedom." Colonel Fells smiled mockingly, then waved his hand.
Tamusta and the main members of the Egyptian officers' regiment were taken away. When they left, General Kanlemu clearly saw the expression of great disappointment on Tamusta's face.
A miserable scream kept ringing in the room next door, and Tamusta, who was also covered in bruises, sat there, trying his best to straighten his body.
"Tamusta Ahmabi, do you recognize Lieutenant Lawson Heaton?"
When Major Watel, who was in charge of interrogating him, asked this, Tamusta said firmly: "I have answered countless times. I do not recognize Lawson Heaton, nor do I recognize British intelligence personnel. I am not involved in planning Mussolini's plan, although I am happy to do so. I have not planned any mutiny, and I will never betray my country."
Major Watel was not angry with him: "What about the monastery? Why do British intelligence personnel hide in the monastery? Can you give me a reasonable explanation?"
"Yes, I funded the monastery a few years ago, but why did the escaped British intelligence officer choose to hide there? I didn't know." Tamusta still refused to admit anything.
"Mr. Tamusta, I have a doubt." Colonel Fells, who sat aside and never said a word, finally spoke: "You always say that you are the most determined to oppose the British, but why are you willing to fund a monastery opened by the British? Why are you good friends with the dean who is also a British?"
Tamusta sneered: "These are completely different concepts. What I object to the British government, what the British colonial rule over Egypt is the same as what you are doing now. But I don't oppose the British people. On the contrary, among ordinary British people, I know many good friends."
Colonel Fells and Major Wattell were now very sure that this was a stubborn man, threatening, tempting, and even torture instruments could not get anything from him.
In the heart, Colonel Fells respects such a person very much, but in terms of professional ethics, he will never have any sympathy for him.
He was silent there for a little bit: "Look, General Tamusta, although you have resigned, you still retain the rank of major general that you only received. How difficult it is to come."
"I am willing to contribute everything that belongs to Egypt, so how can I care about a general?" Tamusta said sarcastically.
"I respect you very much, really respect you." Colonel Fells didn't care about the other party's attitude: "But I think you also know that we must get what we want today, right? I can also tell you that in the room next to you, some of your companions have confessed at our request. Of course, I don't need to hide you. They confessed according to our request. It is of course more convincing to have your confession, but what if there is no confession? We can also achieve our own goals."
"That's your business." Tamusta's attitude still did not change at all: "But I will never betray justice."
"Justice? Do you know what justice is?" Colonel Fells sighed: "Justice means that we are about to be angry, justice means that we are about to launch a full-scale arrest in Cairo, justice means that we will arrest all your relatives and friends, and then shoot them without interrogation. Justice means that countless Egyptians will be terriblely implicated because of what you call justice."
Tamusta's face changed
Colonel Fells continued: "There is no real justice in this world. We think what we do is just, and what you do is just. I admit that you are a brave man, but not everyone is as brave as you. Similarly, I don't think everyone is as afraid of death as you. Let's change the way, if we change our positions now, I believe you will deal with me in a more cruel way, against the Germans, right?"
Tamusta hesitated, then nodded.
"This is what is called justice," Colonel Fells sighed again: "So, in order to avoid being more innocent, I ask you to do what we say. You have lost the justice you pursue, but more Egyptians will get the justice they want because of your sacrifice, okay?"
He was telling it almost completely in a negotiating tone, but Tamusta found that his heart was gradually surrendering to him.
As the Germans said, it is not important to them to explain themselves or not.
However, as long as you open your mouth, you can really save the lives of many Egyptians.
He was silent for a while, then slowly said, "Can you really guarantee that everything will end with us?"
"I can't make such a guarantee," Colonel Fells said truthfully. "But what I can guarantee is to minimize the harm suffered in Cairo."
Tamusta actually smiled at this moment: "Thank you, Colonel Fells, you are an honest person. So let's start now, what do you need me to say?"
"Many, a lot." Colonel Fells stood up: "We need you to do a lot of things, just like what your companions are doing. Honestly, your fellow men will never know what you do for the Egyptians, but many of them have their lives saved by you, and you should be proud of yourself."
Pride? Tamusta smiled sarcastically. He was not proud of himself, but just felt that he, like General Kanlemu, had betrayed his once firm belief.
But at least Colonel Fells said something right, justice is actually from the scoring level.
