Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    When Gilbert translated the telegram, he was very happy because he knew that Lawson Heatonton had begun to suspect.  He showed the telegram to Major Vattel.  Of course Major Wattel understood what was going on.  But the radio station in Cairo must not be blown up, because it is the main communication tool of the German army, and he cannot afford such an expensive price.

    However, Major Wattel finally came up with a way. He asked 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 the good news."

    Four days later, a Dutch newspaper controlled by the German army published a news: "Last night, a group of armed men attacked Radio Kotwick, but were repulsed by the defenders. Three of the attackers were killed, one of whom was this man.  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 Vatel's "masterpiece".

    However, despite the reports and telegrams, London was still worried, so it issued a new instruction, requiring the British intelligence organization in Egypt to immediately open a new communication line to cover the return of Allied pilots shot down in North Africa.  U.K.

    "However, such a task does not have to be difficult for Major Vatel, because it will not endanger the safety of "Operation Plunder" and there will be no price to pay.  As a result, with the help of German intelligence agencies, this communication line was quickly established, and many stranded Allied pilots returned to London safely.

    The establishment of this transportation line shook the suspicion of the Special Operations Committee.  They finally concluded that the so-called intelligence from Lawson Heaton was a counter-intelligence plan by the Gestapo, and they ignored this information from then on.

    Lawson Heaton, who was behind bars, knew nothing about what happened outside the cell.  When he saw that new British intelligence officers were still being arrested, he thought it was Holmes who had not sent the intelligence out in time.  So he decided to take a risk, managed to escape from prison, fled back to London and called the police.

    Lawson Heaton began to prepare for jailbreak.  He found that most of the cell window was blocked with bricks, leaving only a small area above to let in light; there were sentries patrolling the yard downstairs day and night. At night, several strong searchlights were pointed at the window, illuminating the window.  The entire prison and courtyard were illuminated like daylight.  It was impossible to escape through the window.  He looked at the closed cell door again, and found that although the cell was closed, there was a fan-shaped transom on the door.  Lawson Heaton began to make plans from this door.

    This prison was temporarily renovated. It should have been a hotel before, and the internal structure has not been changed.  The entire prison's defense is loose inside and tight outside. There is only one mobile sentry in the long corridor outside the door, but the fence of the courtyard is equipped with barbed wire. There is a sentry every 200 meters outside the wall. In addition to sentries, each sentry is also equipped with  Searchlights and police dogs.  Although the security is tight, it is not impossible.  On a stormy night, Lawson Heaton unscrewed the bolt of the transom above the door, climbed out of the transom while the sentry in the corridor was napping, and hid in the bathroom diagonally opposite.  The back side of the building was very secluded. Lawson Heaton relied on the climbing skills he had learned when he was a scout to climb over the bathroom window and sneak down to the ground along a sewer pipe next to the window.  He squatted under the wall and observed, and found that there was no movement, and then found a drain hole under the corner of the wall.  It happened that the fence of the drainage hole was broken, and a scrap steel bar fell there. Lawson Heaton used the scrap steel bar to pry open a few bricks and climbed out of the wall through the hole.

    The searchlight of the outpost swept across the wall from time to time. Taking advantage of the darkness, Lawson Heaton quickly walked into a small forest.  It was raining heavily at the time, and the guards did not notice the fugitive on this rainy night.  So Lawson Heaton disappeared into the rainy night along a swollen creek.

    The next morning, after Major Wattel received the report of Lawson Heaton's absconding, he was shocked and his joyful mood in the past few days was wiped away.  Because he knew in his heart that if Lawson Heaton ran back to London, his masterpiece - "Operation Plunder" would come to an end.

    Major Wattel immediately ordered the guards to conduct a search around the prison.  But as heavy rain washed away all traces, even the police dogs could not find the target, and the search operation yielded nothing.  There is a small train station 3 kilometers away from the prison. Major Vatel checked the train timetable at the train station and found that there happened to be a train passing by around o  Sen. Heaton must have left Harlan in a car.

    In fact, Lawson Heaton did not go far after escaping from prison that night and hid in a monastery only two kilometers away from the prison.

    Under the cover of the abbot, Lawson Heaton has been hiding in the monastery.

    By this time, Mussolini had arrived in North Africa

      On November 28, 1942, Italian dictator Mussolini entered Cairo with great satisfaction.

    This arrogant dictator has long regarded Cairo, Egypt, and all of North Africa as his own, and does not think that Germany will compete with him to snatch his interests in Africa.

    But if it were Adolf Hitler, he might indeed do this, but for Ernst Brahm, he would never give away the benefits he obtained to others.

    Especially Italy, the so-called "ally"

    The welcome ceremony was quite grand. At the request of the government, a large number of Egyptians appeared on the streets of Cairo, waving German, Egyptian, and Italian flags to welcome Mussolini's arrival.

    Previously, the Germans had warned Mussolini that since Cairo had just been captured and 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 in public.

    But Mussolini, who liked to be in the limelight, rejected the Germans¡¯ good offer and entered Cairo in a convertible.

    His man just stood in the convertible and kept waving his hands to salute the welcoming crowd. He had to show his leadership style in front of the Egyptians.

    What is slightly disappointing is that most of the main Egyptian officials came out to welcome them, but none of the senior German generals saw them:

    Ernst Brahm, Erwin Rommel, von Bismarck

    Mussolini decided that in order to punish Germany, he would further reduce what should be given to Germany when distributing benefits.  At least until now, Mussolini still regards himself as the "master" here

    Guo Yunfeng lay quietly on the roof of a building, holding the sniper rifle specially provided for him by Xiaoling, which made him even more confident that he could successfully hit the target this time.

    Although he doesn¡¯t understand why ¡°Rambler¡± does this, what ¡°Rambler¡± says always makes sense.

    The Italian rebel had already appeared. The road into the city specially arranged by the Germans and the location chosen by Guo Yunfeng himself completely exposed Mussolini's body to the muzzle of the gun.

    Shooting with such an advanced sniper rifle must be foolproof

    Killing him is definitely not a problem, but the difficulty is that it can only hurt Mussolini, so there can be no mistakes in this.

    Guo Yunfeng took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and then moved his hands to the scope again, and slowly touched the trigger with his finger.

    That¡¯s it now¡ªshoot!

    As the trigger is pulled, the bullet flies out like lightning

    Mussolini, who was waving his arms, suddenly fell into the convertible, and the noisy surroundings blocked the sound of gunfire. It was not until Mussolini fell that the Italians around him suddenly became panicked.

    "Assassin! Assassin!" Mussolini screamed heartbreakingly, covering his shoulders.

    The surroundings were in chaos, and the Italians didn¡¯t know what to do at the first moment.  It took a full minute before he realized what he was doing. He was rescuing people, and he was guarding guards.

    The Germans in charge of security on the scene were also a little panicked. Although the Italian rebel was arrogant and annoying, he was the leader of Germany's ally country after all. If something happened here, it would be difficult to explain.

    But where did the gunfire come from?  There were Egyptians who didn't know the truth everywhere, waving flags vigorously to welcome them, but they didn't know that the person they were welcoming had been killed or injured.

    This is what happened to Mussolini, who regarded himself as the "ruler of Africa", after finally entering the Cairo he dreamed of.

    And this seems to be an ominous premonition.  Maybe it's foreshadowing something.

    Cairo Monastery.

    When Lawson Heaton, who was hiding here, saw Major Wattel appear in front of him, he knew that everything was over.

    "Lieutenant, you can always cleanse your soul in a monastery." Major Wattel looked 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  , He has always rejected the existence of a person like you. I am very disappointed. How can a devout monk lie in front of God?"

    Lawson Heaton looked towards the dean and found that the dean's face was pale and he kept mumbling something, so he sighed: "This has nothing to do with the dean, I coerced him to do this.  of."

    "Look, look, what a touching scene." Major Vatel said with a smile: "Protect each other, ah, no, cover for each other. Unfortunately, you all have to go back with me."

    When finishedIn a word, Major Wattel's face suddenly sank:

    "Lieutenant, let us now talk about the issue of you and the Egyptian officer corps uniting to assassinate Mussolini!" (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
