  Chapter 2168

While the Gemon family was moaning and sighing for the 8,000 pounds, the German intelligence officer who had obtained the 48th Army's defense map had already appeared in the German headquarters at this moment, and handed over the information he had obtained to the German army. chief of staff.

After seeing the deployment map of the 48th Army, the German chief of staff couldn't help taking a breath, and then said to the commander sitting behind the desk: "Your Excellency, the situation is not very good. The troops we mobilized two days ago , there are heavy Russian troops assembled on the front, if an attack is launched from these areas, I am afraid that the casualties of the troops will be very heavy."

  The commander looked at his defense map, and then at the Soviet defense map he had just obtained. He looked up at his chief of staff and asked, "Chief of staff, is this Russian defense plan accurate?"

  The chief of staff did not answer immediately, but turned to look at the intelligence officer standing aside, wanting to know from him how authentic this picture is?

Seeing this, the intelligence officer took two steps forward and explained to the commander: "Your Excellency, this defense plan was bought from the Russians by our intelligence agents at a huge price. The authenticity is unquestionable." of."

"you sure?!"

"Your Excellency, Commander, we also obtained a defense map a few days ago, which has been repeatedly verified by the intelligence officer." The intelligence officer said: "That defense map is the defense map of the 334th regiment of the Russian Army. You can take that Compare the deployment map with the deployment map in front of you, and you will find that the two are exactly the same."

  The German commander stared at the map in front of him, thinking to himself, if this defense map is true, it means that he must re-adjust the defense deployment.

  The chief of staff saw what the commander was thinking, and asked the intelligence officer with a serious expression: "Where is the intelligence officer who sent the information?"

  The intelligence officer said in a panic, "He's gone!"

   "He's gone?!" The chief of staff frowned and asked dissatisfiedly, "Where did he go?"

   "I don't know, he was kicked out by me."

   "Why did you drive him away."

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, you may not know that this information was sold to my intelligence agent by a Russian commander. Thousands of pounds have passed.” The intelligence officer explained to the chief of staff: “Unexpectedly, the intelligence officer ran over with the defense map today. At that time, I thought, since all the information was brought over, the remaining 8,000 pounds would not be given. Unexpectedly, the other party started to quarrel with me, and I drove him away in a fit of anger."

"Confused, you are simply too confused." The chief of staff said angrily: "A few days ago our army mobilized an infantry division and an armored division to the right flank, which is the left flank of the Russians. Make a breakthrough from this area. If this deployment plan is true, that is to say, the assault area we have selected is exactly the area heavily defended by the Russians. Hit hard."

When the chief of staff said this, he saw the intelligence officer's mouth open a few times, as if he wanted to justify himself, and continued: "If we are facing ordinary Russian troops, then it is considered to be in our main attack direction. With heavy troops, we still have the ability to defeat them and break through their defenses. But now we are facing the enemy, Sokov, who is a headache for our generals, and the troops under his command cannot be easily defeated."

"The chief of staff is right." The commander who has been staring at the map without speaking said: "The authenticity of this deployment map is related to the results of our next offensive operations. If it is true, we will You need to readjust your deployment and launch an attack."

"Your Excellency, Commander, I would like to ask." The intelligence officer boldly asked: "It is the coldest January and it is not suitable for combat. Why did we choose to attack the Russian defense zone at this time? ?”

   "As an intelligence officer, you must know about the counterattack launched by our army in the Ardennes area?"

  The intelligence officer read the bulletin and naturally knew of the German attack on the Allied forces in the Ardennes. Judging from the results obtained so far, the Allied forces were beaten to the ground by the Germans who took the initiative to attack, and the defense line was also in jeopardy. At this moment, when the commander asked about this matter, he nodded quickly and said: "Your Excellency, I have read the report from the friendly forces and also understand their progress in the Ardennes area. If they can maintain their offensive all the time, I think they have the right to do so." capable of driving the Allies back to France."

   "The news of success on the western front is frequent, and we can't sit idle here." The German commander said: "The most urgent task is to find out whether the Russians' defense plan is true or not, and then consider whether to adjust our existing deployment."

   Hearing what the commander said, the intelligence officer murmured: "But I don't know where that intelligence officer is."

   "The intelligence officer is your subordinate, you always have his address, right?"

"No." The intelligence officer said embarrassingly: "I sent two Polish intelligence agents to the Russian defense zone this time. The person in charge was a senior intelligence agent who was very reliable. And the intelligence agent who got back the defense map , seems to be relatives with senior intelligence officers."

   "What about this senior intelligence officer?" asked the chief of staff.

   "Dead, it is said that he stepped on a landmine and was killed."

"Since you said that the person who got the information back is related to the dead senior intelligence officer." The chief of staff said to the intelligence officer, "Then you should immediately send someone to the senior intelligence officer's home to inquire, maybe you can find the senior intelligence officer." The whereabouts of the person. Once you find it, bring it to us immediately, and the commander will ask him personally."

  After hearing what the chief of staff said, the intelligence officer said with some hesitation: "Your Excellency, if the intelligence officer is found, I am worried that he will continue to ask me for the eight thousand pounds."

   "Give it to him." Unexpectedly, the commander suddenly said: "As long as he can prove that this defense map is true, no matter how much money he wants, he can give it to him."

   "Your Excellency, Commander," the chief of staff couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Is it worth it for us to pay such a high price for a piece of information?"

"It's worth it, of course it's worth it." The commander said with a smile: "Chief of Staff, don't forget that not long ago, we received hundreds of thousands of pounds from Berlin. agent, let him continue to serve us."

"Yes, yes, yes." After being reminded by the commander, the chief of staff immediately remembered that there are hundreds of thousands of fake pounds in the headquarters. It is very cost-effective to use this money to pay for the purchase of intelligence. He turned and urged the intelligence officer: " Hurry up and find that intelligence officer, and say that we can give him the remaining 8,000 pounds, but only if he finds a way to prove that the defense map is true."

  The intelligence officer returned to his office and immediately checked Dobzharski's home address. After confirming the other party's residence, he took a few soldiers to the other party's residence by car.

  The truck stopped near Dobzhanski's house, and the soldiers jumped out of the car one after another, automatically setting up a security circle at the door, while the intelligence officer led two soldiers to call the door.

  Hearing someone knocking on the door, Henrik's sister immediately got up and went to the door, and opened the door directly.

   Seeing a group of German soldiers standing outside the door, she exclaimed and hurriedly closed the door. But the soldier outside the door moved faster than her, stretched out a foot to block the door, then pointed the gun at her, and asked viciously, "Is this Dobzhanski's home?"

   "Yes, yes." Henrik's sister replied in a panic, "It's Dobzharski's home."

  The intelligence officer pushed forward, pushed the door open, walked in, and asked loudly, "Where is Dobzhansky?"

   "Dead, Mr. Officer. He was accidentally killed by a mine when he was ordered to go to the Russian defense zone."

The reason why Henrik's sister said this is because her parents introduced the process of Dobzharski's death to her in this way. She had no idea that her husband Dobzharski was killed by her younger brother in collusion with outsiders of.

  And Henrik heard the voice at the door, and hurried over to check, just in time to bump into the intelligence officer.

  The intelligence officer came here to inquire about Henrik's whereabouts. Seeing that the other party appeared in front of him, he pointed at him with his hand and ordered the soldiers beside him: "Take him away!"

  When the soldier heard this, he couldn't help but step forward and grabbed Henrik's arm, and pulled him out.

   Facing the black muzzle of the gun, Henrik dared not resist, so he could only obediently follow outside. The Jamon and his wife also came out of the room, and when they saw their son being taken away, they rushed over and begged the intelligence officer: "Mr. Officer, my son has not committed a crime, so you can't take him away." .”

  The intelligence officer was too lazy to bother with the civilian couple, didn't even bother to talk to them, turned around and walked out of the room.

   After seeing his son being taken into the vehicle by the soldiers, the vehicle drove away. Jemon's wife cried and said, "What's the matter? How did the Germans take Henrik away? Holy Mary, please bless Henrik so that he can come back safely."

  Besides, after Henrik was brought to the intelligence officer's office, the intelligence officer asked the soldiers to retreat, and then said to Henrik: "Please sit down, young man."

  Henrik sat down opposite the intelligence officer tremblingly, and then asked cautiously, "Mr. Officer, what do you want from me?"

   "Let's talk about the defense map you brought back." The intelligence officer put his body back, resting his head on the back of the chair, looked at Henrik and asked, "Is it real or fake?"

  The intelligence officer's repudiation made Henrik feel an evil fire in his heart. At this moment, when the other party asked about the authenticity of the defense map, he sneered and said: "If you say it is true, it is true; if you say it is false, it is false."

From Henrik's tone of voice, the intelligence officer heard the other party's serious dissatisfaction, so he laughed and said: "When you sent the information, my attitude may be a bit bad, I hope you don't mind. I promised you Eight thousand pounds will be sent to you soon, so just wait patiently."

  Henrik was cheated once, so naturally he wouldn't fall twice in the same place, so he asked the other party's question first tentatively: "I won't say anything until I see the money."

  The intelligence officer was not angry when he heard what Henrik said. He picked up the phone in front of him and dialed a number, and then said into the microphone: "Bring over what you have prepared."

  After putting down the phone, the intelligence officer looked at Henrik and said, "You will see what I have prepared for you later, and I hope you can answer my question truthfully."

  Henrik didn't answer, but just gave a cold "hmm", thinking to himself, if he couldn't see the money, he would never tell the other party the authenticity of this defense map.

   Soon, Henrik heard hurried footsteps coming from the corridor outside. Hearing this voice, his heart beat faster, he thought it was someone sent by the intelligence officer to catch him.

  But what happened next was beyond Henrik's expectations. A second lieutenant officer came in, put the small box in front of the intelligence officer, and then turned and walked out of the room.

  The intelligence officer opened the box and looked at it. After turning the box 180 degrees, he pushed it directly in front of Henrik: "This is the 8,000 pounds promised to you. Please order it carefully."

   Seeing so many banknotes in front of him, Henrik's eyes lit up. At this moment, he didn't care about being polite, so he just grabbed a handful of banknotes and started counting. The intelligence officer sitting opposite looked calmly at Henrik who only had money in his eyes. Of course, it's not that the intelligence officer doesn't love money, but he knows that the pounds that Henrik is counting now are counterfeit banknotes made by Berlin.

   After finally waiting for Henrik to finish counting the money, the intelligence officer asked coldly, "How is it? Is the number correct?"

   "That's right, that's right." Henrik, who was ecstatic in his heart, didn't even look at the intelligence officer. He only had eyes on the box of money in front of him: "No more, no less, exactly eight thousand pounds."

The intelligence officer reached out and closed the box, looked at Henrik and said, "Of course the amount of money is not wrong, but I can't give it to you for the time being. I need you to accompany me to the headquarters, and after verifying the authenticity of the defense map." , this money can be handed over to you."

  Henrik, who was eager to get the money, stood up abruptly, and said to the intelligence officer: "Mr. Officer, why wait, let's go see the Commander."

Naturally, the intelligence officer would not take Henrik to see the commander directly, but picked up the phone on the table, dialed a number again, reported his name to the other party, and then asked tentatively: "Will the commander want to see you?" The person has been found, can we go there now?"

  After getting permission, the intelligence officer put down the phone, got up and said to Henrik: "Come on, follow me to see the commander."

   Seeing the intelligence officer put the box on the table while the person was walking outside, Henrik asked in a panic, "Mr. Officer, what should I do with the money?"

  The intelligence officer glanced at the money box on the table, and said with a sneer, "Just put it there. You can come back to pick it up after you meet the commander."

Henrik didn't believe the intelligence officer's statement. He was worried that when he met the commander, the money would also have nothing to do with him, so he stood still and refused to move, but his eyes were fixed on him. Stare at the box on the table.

Seeing that Henryk was so greedy for money, the intelligence officer sneered and shook his head, and then said to him: "If you are worried, just take this box of money and go to see the commander together. But I want to remind you, before entering the commander's office, This money can only be left at the door."

  Henrik thought that even if the money was placed at the door of the commander's office, it would be better than placing it in the intelligence officer's office. At least after seeing the commander, he will get his own money when he goes out. So he went forward to lift the box, followed behind the intelligence officer, and happily walked towards the commander's office.
