    Colonel Fells was successfully rescued, but that did not mean he was safe.

    Now, how to leave Cairo has become a big problem.

    At this time, Colonel Fels, no matter what, never expected that the person who came to rescue him turned out to be Marshal Ernst Brahm!

    God, the Germans are so courageous, from soldiers to marshals.

    There is nothing in the world that they dare not do.

    "Colonel, is there any good way to leave Cairo?" Wang Weiyi asked at the temporary hiding spot.

    "In my opinion, it will be difficult for us to escape from Cairo." Colonel Fels was actually not too afraid: "But we have a chance that is not a chance. At this time every year, the Egyptians will hold the Nile Festival, ah, it will be tomorrow  start"

    "Nile Festival?" Wang Weiyi was startled.

    "To be precise, it's called the Nile Flood Festival." Colonel Fels said this very weird name: "A long time ago, when her husband Uzilis lost her partner in an unfortunate accident, her heart was broken and she cried bitterly.  , tears of sadness fell into the Nile River, and the waves suddenly surged, and the river surged, swallowing up large areas of sand on both sides of the river. Of course, from a scientific point of view, this is just a beautiful and beautiful legend. In fact, the flooding of the Nile River.  "It's caused by the Indian Ocean monsoon blowing clouds over the Ethiopian plateau, causing rainfall and causing the Nile to swell."

    Wang Weiyi smiled: "Hey, Colonel, I don't want to hear your scientific knowledge. I want to know the Nile River, the full situation of the Flood Festival, and what chance do we have?"

    "Egyptians believe in that mythical legend. Throughout the ages, whenever the calm and gentle Nile water begins to turn light green on June 17 or 18, the Egyptians know that the annual river flood is coming. At this time,  According to traditional customs, an event called the "Night of Tears" is held in August. When the floods overflow the river bed, destroy the dams, and submerge the land, they also bring fertile soil to both sides of the river without hesitation, providing cotton,  The growth of palms, figs and various grains and vegetables provides abundant nutrients. For this reason, people will hold celebrations in September," Colonel Fels said slowly.

    "The Copts of ancient Egypt would set up a table in front of every house during the Nile Flood Festival, with dishes containing soybeans, wheat, lentils, alfalfa and some plant sprouts placed on it. According to local custom, this symbolizes grains  Fengdeng. In ancient times, the celebration of the Nile River Flooding Festival was carried out by the pharaoh himself, civil and military ministers and religious leaders together with the people. The activity began with the priests placing wooden statues of the river gods on the bank, ranging from the elderly to the young.  All the children bowed their heads to the statue to show respect. Then, the priest chanted prayers for good luck and happiness. Some people sang religious hymns and danced colorful folk dances with cheerful music;  People were singing and dancing on the boat in the Nile. Now, the situation has changed, and this is our only chance to escape Cairo."

    He glanced at the Germans a few times: "Tomorrow, led by the King of Egypt, all Egyptians in Cairo will pass through the necessary roads one by one, and then come to the Nile River outside the city to perform sacrificial activities."

    "Wait a minute." Wang Weiyi interrupted Colonel Fels: "You have been rescued, and the British know without a doubt that we will take advantage of this opportunity. What will happen if they stop this sacrifice?"

    "That will cause the Egyptians to rebel and the British to lose Egypt's support." Colonel Fels said easily: "Even if the Germans and the British are fighting fiercely in Cairo, it will never stop the Egyptians from attacking the Nile River Festival.  Sacrifice.¡±

    "Gentlemen, get ready to celebrate the Nile Festival with the Egyptians." Wang Weiyi smiled: "Thank you to the great goddess Izis."

    "Thank you to the great goddess Izis." All the commandos laughed.

    The only thing that seemed strange to the commandos was the Baron's assignment of tasks.

    Miss Elina was still sent outside the city in the early stage, but this time Guo Yunfeng was also sent out. The task of the two of them was to prepare the transportation for the members of the Skeleton Commando after they broke out of Cairo.

    There is no argument that it is easier for women to get out of the city, but where can Miss Elena get transportation?

    Isn¡¯t there anything that Miss Elena can¡¯t do?  Could it be that Miss Elena is more capable than Baron Alexson?

    This is really incredible

    "Mr. Baron, I have to thank you." When the team members began to prepare busily, Colonel Fels finally expressed his gratitude: "If I told others that a German baron and a German marshal came to Cairo in person  Rescue me, no one will believe it. Thank you."I took such a big risk"

    "Listen, Colonel, I'm not doing it for you, I'm doing it for Germany." Wang Weiyi said seriously: "You probably know that our situation in Africa is not very good. The British counterattack will start soon. You  The existence of the enemy can give us another pair of eyes. You know too many secrets. Also, Colonel Fels, can you tell me who the 'Fighter' is?"

    "British senior spies have been lurking inside Germany for a long time." Colonel Fels said immediately: "This is the result of the joint efforts of the American and British intelligence agencies. The 'fighter' may be a person or an organization Baron, I only know  He is in the German Afrika Korps staff. I don't know who he is specifically. However, I have a way to lure him out, but the operation is a bit difficult. This requires us to have excellent telegram interceptors, but according to reports.  As we know, the Afrika Korps' telegram interception was terrible."

    This is a bit rude, but it is also true.

    If the German officers and soldiers of the Afrika Korps demonstrated first-rate combat qualities on the battlefield, then their intelligence work was second-rate.  As for their radio listening, it's simply subpar.

    Erwin Rommel was a pure soldier. He himself was powerless in this regard, and the intelligence work of the Afrika Korps was completely paralyzed after Colonel Fels was exposed.

    However, with the arrival of Baron Alexson and the successful rescue of Colonel Fells, all this will soon change

    The rescue of Colonel Fells caused the British to become confused. Everyone knew the importance of Colonel Fells.

    Not only the British, but the Americans also became a little panicked.  Colonel Fells is also extremely important to the United States.

    What is confusing is where those Germans came from and where they got their weapons and weapons!

    ??According to Lieutenant Colonel Lewis, the enemy used a large number of submachine guns and machine guns, and the power of the guns was also quite powerful, which completely caught the British army by surprise.

    "Comprehensive blockade of Cairo, no one is allowed to leave!" Montgomery issued this order decisively: "The Germans are eager to leave here now. As long as they can successfully trap them, it doesn't matter even if they cannot be caught temporarily.  ¡±

    "I'm afraid we can't do it," the British Ambassador Mr. Storey interrupted General Montgomery.

    "Why?"

    "Tomorrow is the Nile Flood Festival, and all Egyptians in Cairo will leave"

    Mr. Storey¡¯s words made Montgomery frown: ¡°Let the Egyptians cancel this event, or postpone it for a few days. Compared with catching Colonel Fels, these activities are not important at all.¡±

    "General Montgomery, do you want the whole of Egypt to turn against the British?" Mr. Storey smiled bitterly: "This is the most important festival for Egyptians. Once it is forcibly canceled, foreseeable riots will occur immediately. If we suppress it,  , Egypt will likely fall to the German side!¡±

    "Damn, damn!" Montgomery shouted angrily: "Don't they know what terrible impact it will have if we watch the German spies escape?"

    "That doesn't have much to do with the Egyptians, does it?" Mr. Storey sighed.

    General Montgomery fell silent

    He knew that at this stage, the British really needed unconditional support from Egypt, otherwise the British would not be able to win this war.

    Nile Festival, Nile Festival!  This damn Nile Festival!

    "General Royce!" Montgomery calmed down his emotions.

    "I'm here, General Montgomery." General Royce came out in response.

    "Listen, the Germans will definitely use tomorrow's Nile Festival to escape." Montgomery said worriedly: "Take your people and closely monitor everyone who leaves Cairo. Listen, German spies cannot be given away under any circumstances.  Let go, otherwise, our intelligence work will become very passive. If necessary, I allow you to shoot."

    "Yes, General."

    "Also, come and see!" Montgomery brought his men to the map: "Here, you have to establish a second line of defense. Assuming that the Germans can sneak out of Cairo, then they also need transportation to escape to the Germans  direction, and this is the only way for them to pass. Listen, unless you have my call, anyone who tries to pass through here is a German spy, and you have the right to shoot directly!"

    "I understand, General Montgomery!"

    Although he made the proper arrangements he could, General Montgomery was still full of doubts.Worry.

    If we can¡¯t catch this group of Germans, everything will really become extremely passive!  The entire war situation in Africa may undergo some subtle changes because of this time.

    Especially, in the intelligence work where the Germans have become increasingly confused, it will have an extremely significant effect!  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
