Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On May 25, 1940, the British MI5 received a tip: the great spy Murray appeared in Regent Street, central London, got into a taxi and left.  The London police immediately sounded the alarm, set up spies at various docks, hotels, and streets, and sent a large number of police officers to pursue the case.  Witnesses reported that the Murray they saw was a middle-aged man with a strong build and a thin body.  He was always well dressed, wearing a black and white tie.  The most prominent feature is his big teeth.

    Since then, news about Murray has spread across the UK.  His footprints seem to have reached every corner of the UK.

    However, the strangest thing is that the British police detectives did not find even a single figure.

    A year-long search by the British police ended in vain.  The police detectives traveled all over the UK, including Scotland and England, but still could not find this "most cunning Nazi spy".

    In 1941, the British police announced that they had temporarily given up searching for Murray.  Since then, many Nazi spies have been arrested one after another, but Murray still remains mysterious

    Murray was the chief of German Gestapo spies and the only German spy that Britain failed to capture during World War II.  His most famous trait is "cunning".  In 1940, the then Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police described Murray in a document as "the most intelligent spy in Germany."  The British government has spent nearly 15 years pursuing the investigation, but Murray is still at large.

    Everyone who has come into contact with Murray said he likes a luxurious life and often frequents high-end bars and nightclubs.  He seems to be a vain person, but he is the most cunning spy.

    The spy you can never catch¡ª¡ªMurray

    Cairo, November 13, 1942.

    News of the failure of Montgomery on the front line has reached Cairo. Originally, the British were prepared to keep it strictly confidential, but the news was still revealed.

    The Egyptians were happy and encouraged, but the British and their allies were worried.

    Egypt is really important to Britain.  Especially the Suez Canal.

    The Suez Canal is Egypt¡¯s golden waterway.  Its opening is the pride of Egypt and a great feat in human history.  This canal has a total length of 175 kilometers. It well connects the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean. The opening of the Suez Canal has greatly shortened the voyage between the east and the west.  Since its opening, the Suez Canal has become the most important and busiest waterway in the world. It is an important way for Egypt to generate income, so it is also called the "lifeline" of Egypt.

    ¡°Also in 1856, France was the first to obtain the power to dig the Suez Canal.  The construction of the Suez Canal also caused Egypt to owe a huge foreign debt.  By 1869, although the Suez Canal was fully connected, Egypt's finances were already overwhelmed.  Finally, in 1875, the Egyptian government had to sell 44% of its shares in the Suez Canal to the United Kingdom at a low price.  At that time, although France owned 52% of the shares in the Suez Canal, because French shares were privately owned by France and relatively dispersed, while all British shares were held by the British government, and the British had troops stationed in the canal zone,  Therefore, the UK is equivalent to gaining actual supreme control of the Suez Canal.

    The Egyptian government, which sold the canal shares at a low price, was still insolvent and reluctantly declared financial bankruptcy a year later.  As a result, Britain and France also took the opportunity to take control of Egypt's financial power. Britain managed Egypt's income, and France managed Egypt's expenditure. Both countries firmly controlled its economic lifeline.  At this point, Egypt was actually controlled by Britain and France, and the Egyptian governor was nothing more than a puppet.

    As the "lifeline" of Egypt, the Suez Canal is also the "lifeline" that Britain and France, especially the United Kingdom, rely on to safeguard global interests.  The two countries that control the "lifeline" have established the Canal General Management Office in the canal zone through the International Suez Canal Company, which is responsible for the daily management of the canal.  The company also dispatches representatives in Cairo who have direct contact with the Egyptian government at any time.  In this way, the Suez Canal, which was built with bones by 120,000 Egyptian people, was a treasure trove that should have belonged to the Egyptian people. However, most of its wealth ended up in the pockets of the British and French colonists.

    On both sides of the Suez Canal is a military base 104 kilometers long and 4.8 kilometers wide, where the British garrison is located.  The International Suez Canal flag fluttering in the wind on the canal clearly declares the status of a "state within a state" there.  In 1936, Britain pretended to be concerned about Egypt's "security" and asked Egypt to sign a 20-year Anglo-Egyptian Alliance Treaty with itself.  The treaty states in black and white that "British troops have the right to station themselves in the Canal Zone." Alexandria is a military port of the British Empire.

    In this way, the Suez Canal is not only a transportation point for British economic interests, but also the British overseas military base, which can be called the largest.

    In the second timeDuring the World War, the British military base here made great contributions to it.  In the Canal Zone, at that time, up to 15 army divisions, 65 air force squadrons and the Royal Navy fleet in the Eastern Mediterranean were stationed. It was the base camp for British operations in the East.

    The importance of the Suez Canal to Britain is already clear

    Once Egypt is lost, all the hard work of the British Empire in the Middle East will be thrown to the Germans. This is something the British never want to see happen.

    However, what else can Britain do now to stop the German offensive?

    Maybe when you open your eyes tomorrow, German tanks will have appeared outside Cairo

    The British were organizing the defense of Cairo in a panic. In Cairo, the one after another uprisings did not calm down at all, but intensified, which also made the voices of cafes and pubs wither.

    But there will always be guests

    Wang Weiyi opened the door of the cafe and walked in calmly.  Sitting by the window of the cafe, a middle-aged man about forty years old was looking out the window in a daze.

    Wang Weiyi sat down opposite him, ordered a cup of coffee, and then cast his gaze out the window: "It's hard to imagine that Cairo will become like this."

    "Yes, it's hard to imagine." The middle-aged man seemed not surprised that a stranger sat opposite him: "I always wonder what it would be like if German tanks drove in here."

    Wang Weiyi smiled lightly: "If the British heard what you said, you would be arrested immediately."

    The middle-aged man also smiled: "What I can confirm is that the British are more willing to capture Baron Alexon."

    As he spoke, he lowered his voice: "Your Majesty, Baron, I am honored to meet you in Cairo. I have always heard your name, and I have always wanted to see you, but I never thought that our first meeting would be  It¡¯s in such a situation.¡±

    "Murray, the great spy Murray" Wang Weiyi sighed: "The whole UK is arresting the great spy Murray, no one would have thought that you have arrived in Cairo now"

    This middle-aged man is Murray, the legendary spy from World War II, a super spy who would never be caught.

    During World War II, many super spies were active, but as time went by, their identities were all exposed or arrested, with the exception of the super spy Murray.

    Wang Weiyi looked at him carefully: "It is said that you have big teeth, why didn't I see it?"

    "Your Majesty, Baron, that's just a disguise." Murray couldn't help but smile: "I have to give the enemy an illusion. Ah, you may not know that because of the British's wrong intelligence, many people with big teeth were inexplicably  "Secret Arrest"

    "A good disguise." Wang Weiyi nodded: "Do you know your mission?"

    "I know." Murray said seriously: "I received a secret order from Paris. General Nicholas ordered me to go out. Baron, the British news was too tight at that time. In order to avoid being exposed, General Nicholas asked  I came to Cairo to continue my activities and will go back when the news in London subsides. I only activated the contact information when I got the latest information yesterday. I think you need my help."

    "Nicholas, Nikolai" Wang Weiyi sighed in his heart.

    ¡°If Nicholas hadn¡¯t told himself that Murray was the super spy he arranged many years ago in Berlin, he might still not be able to see what the most successful spy in history looks like.

    Wang Weiyi adjusted his mood: "Murray, the German army is about to launch an attack on Cairo. I need all our forces in Cairo to work hard to welcome the arrival of the German army. I heard that you have a way to instigate the 6th South African Armored Vehicle Regiment?"

    "Yes, their leader is my friend. Of course, he thinks he is my friend." Murray said calmly: "I understand what you mean. When our people attack Cairo, South Africa's third  6 Armored Vehicle Regiment defected."

    "Yes, that's what it means. Are you sure?" Wang Weiyi asked immediately.

    "There is no problem at all." Murray's answer was very sure: "But I need a huge sum of money."

    Wang Weiyi smiled: "No matter how much money you need, I can provide it to you, but you must ensure the concealment of this rebellion. After completing this operation, you will also return to London. The British have temporarily stopped targeting you.  Chased."

    "That is my honor, and I miss my life in London very much." Murray smiled and said: "Your Excellency, I feel honored to serve you. Cairo will soon fall into our hands. I hope that I can stay in London."  alsoCan see you.  "

    "Yes." Wang Weiyi's voice was low but very sure: "You will see me in London soon!" (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
