Walluston Center, Berlin.

This appearance, which looks no different from an ordinary house, is the spy training center of the German intelligence agency. Here, the always rigorous Germans, like production on assembly lines, constantly send newly trained spies to any corner of the world.

Germans do not regard spies as normal people, they are just "products".

Once such a "product" appears, the power it causes will be amazing. In many cases, the role that an excellent spy can play is no less than that of an elite armed SS armored division.

Now, a new group of students appears at the Wallerston Center

In the morning, Colonel Von Grenin handed the new cadet Chapman a pistol, which was a brand new American maternity Cottel revolver, and the bullets were loaded. Chapman had never touched a gun before entering the Wallerston Center. When he asked why he needed such a weapon, Von Grenin just said lightly, "You can shoot when you are in trouble."

Gun instructor Leo taught him how to aim and shoot, and they used the things on the clearing in the center of Wallerston as a target. Soon, Chapman could shoot coins fifty feet away.

The revolver fully demonstrated that Von Grenin trusted the newly joined cadet Chapman and allowed Chapman to move to a separate hut so that he could practice mixing explosives at any time and burning the mixture in the laboratory. The homemade bombs became larger and more complex. He practiced making underwater detonators and threw them into a duck pond to test. There were many stumps in the yard of the mansion, and Chapman tried to explode the stumps. Once, he stuffed too much explosives into the stumps of an oak tree, and the explosive power was too strong. The burning wood flew into the neighbor's yard and almost hit someone else.

Von Grenin was furious. Chapman used to say that he was so good at explosives, but now it seems that this is not the case, and he is not even a specialist. Once when he was trying to make a sulfuric acid tube, the sudden active unstable mixture burned his hands and burned his hair, making his face full of smoke.

Von Grenin and his darling Chapman are getting closer and closer. Chapman is very distant from his father. He can only see him occasionally before, but now he hasn't met him for about ten years. The kind and friendly Von Grenin acted as this role, and their love for each other is real. In the evening, when Von Grenin drank one after another, Chapman would listen to the elders' talk about art, music and literature. They found that both of them like Welles' novels and Tengnisson's poems. Von Grenin rarely involves political or military content. He always firmly believes that Germany will eventually win the war. If the Allies try to march into France, there will definitely be a fierce battle between the two sides. His evaluation is based on a veteran's judgment of the situation, rather than promoting a certain ideology.

If von Grenin thinks that war is subtle and balanced, then his deputy’s idea is exactly the opposite. Pretolias and von Grenin have always been unfriendly to each other. Pretolias believes that his boss is the remnants of the old world's pretentious roots, and von Grenin's tolerant character allows Pretolias to be infinitely fascinated by Hitler. The young man insists that Russia's fall means victory on the Eastern Front is just around the corner. He believes that Stalingrad will fall in 1943, and then Germany will concentrate all forces from Europe and Russia to launch a full-scale attack on Britain. Thinking of the prospect of a "beautiful blitzkrieg" in Britain, he believes that Marshal Ernst is invincible, and this idea can make him in extreme excitement.

"You can imagine that our bombers and soldiers are rigorously trained, brave and strong," declared Pretolias. "And what can our enemies do?"

In the next week, Chapman will follow the blasting experts to learn the latest blasting technology. This blasting expert is Dr. Ackerman, a chemist and the most prestigious blasting expert in Germany. Chapman came to the laboratory, where there were glass bottles, test tubes, thermos, balances, grinding rods and mortars stuffed with corks. Dr. Ackerman carefully and patiently explained to Chapman the mysterious world of deadly weapons, the magic secrets of explosives, the burning mixture, bait thunder and time-delay destruction actions.

He taught Chapman to make timed leads with cheap watches, insert screws with a nut at each end into the watch mask, connect one end of the wire to an alkaline battery and the other end into the watch. When the needle touches the screw, it will cause the battery to discharge, which triggers the lead to an explosion. Later, he brought an alarm clock and showed Chapman how to connect the spring spring to a detonator to achieve a delayed explosion of up to fourteen hours. If there is no watch and no alarm clock, he will use an ink bottle to make a bomb. He first filled the ink bottle with sulfuric acid, and then added a piece of paper between the glass bottle and the cap. The sulfuric acid will slowly corrode the paper sheet, and eventually trigger the fuse hidden in the lid, which triggers the explosion by a thermal reaction.

Then he took out a large piece of coal from the coal basket and told Chapman how to drill a six-inch hole in the coal block, stuff the explosives and detonators into the hole, blocking the hole with clay, boot powder and coal ash. Then put it in the coal bin of a train or ship, and the device will not detonate itself. Only when people throw the coal into the stove can it cause an explosion when it encounters heat.

Ackerman told Chapman how to blow up the trains and gas stations that transport arms, how to pack suitcases, wrap bombs, and put pajamas and towels on it. Chapman learned how to use packages to make bait lightnings. Although the wires on the outside were cut open, there were still two separate wires inside, so when cutting the wires with scissors, it would trigger an explosion. Ackerman drew an icon to show the method of connecting explosives and detonators, and explained how much high-energy explosives can be used to blow up a bridge. Some techniques used by Ackerman were very cruel: use a linear detonator to tie dead butterflies to the rails. Most people would never find such a device. When the train passes, it will cause an explosion, which will derail the locomotive.

The teacher who taught the explosion never smoked or drank, and he would only interrupt his lectures when eating. Chapman felt that he was a perfectionist: he demanded precise proportions, never acted hastily, and grinded everything into fine powder, and then carefully completed the mixing.

"These raw materials needed to make bombs can be bought in pharmacies," Ackerman explained: "Potassium chloride is usually used to kill slugs, potassium nitrate is fertilizer, and potassium permanganate is used as mouthwash; the British used iron elixir to dye the floor and used alumina as silver-white dye."

Chapman attends classes until late every day. After dinner, Ackerman would pull a chair and sit next to the fireplace to continue tutoring Chapman, and sometimes ask Pretolias to help Chapman translate technical terms.

Three days later, Ackerman seemed to be quite satisfied, and Chapman was going to be exhausted.

After returning to the Wallerston Center, Chapman was warmly welcomed by von Grenin, who prepared a test for Chapman. Colonel Mayer was their friend, responsible for the safety of the local factories, including the factory that made locomotives in the Battinole area. Von Grenin introduced Chapman as follows: He said he trained an agent who was a sabotage operation, a former robber who could break into almost any house, betting that Chapman could even put a silent bomb in the locomotive factory. Colonel Mayer agreed with his statement. A few days later, Chapman and Leo sneaked into the factory through the barbed wire, avoided the dozing guards, and placed a package next to Mayer's office. Von Grenin was very happy and used the money he won the bet to organize a party for Fritz.

Chapman returned to the gardener's hut where he lived. Successfully raided the motorcycle factory, but after staying in the Wallerston Center for nearly five months, Chapman began to feel bored and was depressed by being forced to abstinence. Except for Nantes's ji women, he had hardly seen women. Others couldn't help but laugh at themselves when they talked about not having women with them, "like his ** monk."

One night, Chapman, Albert, and Wochi ran out for a party. They found several girls in an officer's car. As a result, a Gestapo officer discovered that these girls had gotten into their car and filed a lawsuit. When Von Grenin knew about this, he was furious.

"We're in trouble," Chapman wrote.

Woch was the first victim in the rage of von Grenin: this short and fat agent engaged in sabotage operations was arranged to a guard near Paris, and Chapman never saw him again.

In a letter from von Grenin to his boss, he cautiously stated: While Chapman is excellent in other ways, he can easily do something that Grenin calls “the impulsive behavior that causes trouble.”

Von Grenin discovered that he had to speed up his actions and get Chapman to work as soon as possible, otherwise he might completely lose the young spy wizard.

On August 29, 1942, Chapman was summoned by Von Grenin in his study and handed him a stack of printed documents. Von Grenin asked Chapman to read the documents and signed them if there was no objection. This was a contract, some formal terms required to be implemented, requiring him to espionage on his country, which was unique in previous historical records.

The first part lists things that are forbidden to do: Chapman must not reveal the names of any Germans he met in Jersey, France or Germany, must not reveal where he has stayed or what he has learned. If these regulations are violated, Chapman will be executed.

Chapman will engage in espionage activities in the interests of the Supreme Command of Germany and unconditionally complete the tasks assigned by the German Military Intelligence Agency. He will receive the following amount of money as compensation: in France, he will receive 12,000 francs a month, and from the day he set out, he will receive 300 German marks a month until the day he is arrested. If he excellently completes the tasks assigned by the German Military Intelligence Agency and returns to France, he will receive a total of 150,000 German marks.

Chapman estimated that the money was roughly equivalent to 15,000 pounds. If calculated at the current exchange rate, it would be roughly 7,300 pounds.
