Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 5 Chapter 397: Agents

Tripoli is known as the pearl of North Africa, and it is not that the Italians are bragging about themselves. This ancient city with a history of two thousand years does not live up to this prestigious reputation.

This land was once occupied by the Phoenicians, Romans, Vendals and Byzantine Empire. After the Byzantine demise, this territory, known as the Terrabrus by the Arabs, has been under the rule of the Ottoman Empire.

Twenty-eight years ago, taking advantage of the confrontation between Germany and France for the ownership of Morocco, the Italians suddenly declared war on Ottoman Turkey on the grounds that their interests in North Africa were violated by the Turks, and finally the modernized Italian army Defeated the decayed Ottoman Empire and seized the land from the Turks.

However, this was already 28 years ago. The subsequent outbreak of a war caused a fundamental change in the colonial situation in North Africa. The defeated Germany was expelled from Africa. The colonies it had were divided by the powers. North Africa was able to After the forces that contained France disappeared, all the pressure was concentrated on the shoulders of the Italians. The original plan to try to **** blood from the colony also came to a stagnation with the sudden European war.

Although in the First World War, the Kingdom of Italy gained part of its benefits by virtue of its turnaround, the ensuing global economic crisis not only cost it all its dividends, but also lost most of its savings. Italy’s degree of industrialization is not very high compared with the top powers, but because the local resources are barren, it is very dependent on import and export trade, and the bloated domestic government agencies are slow to respond. As a result, after the crisis broke out, Italy should not have been seriously affected. The kingdom still suffered heavy losses.

The crisis exposed Italy’s fragile political and economic structure to the world, and feared those in power that the unemployed and the underlying working class caused by the industrial depression are uniting, and the power of the workers’ movement is rapidly increasing, if they do not want to suppress it. It is very likely that a revolution will evolve. At that time, the Italian nobles and parliamentarians will definitely be able to escape, and the lessons of the Normanov dynasty are in sight.

In order to get rid of the domestic dilemma, the Italian fascist movement came into being. Mussolini's rapid rise and power, it is possible that the Italian high-level forces have secretly nurtured and promoted this Caesar in the new century was only launched by the original power class. A guise, the ultimate goal is to suppress the progressive ideas of the domestic workers' movement, and to transfer the dissatisfaction and contradiction of the people to the impotence and corruption of the traditional imperial forces.

Mussolini is not a fool. He also knows that he must rely on these deep-rooted traditional forces to be in power safely. The interests between the two parties are deeply entangled. Mussolini can also get a lot of benefits from it, so he is very happy. Cooperating with the old powers and dignitaries, of course, the other party also generously gave Mussolini a huge reward. The entire Italian power class is on his side. Mussolini’s order has no one on this land. Can refuse.

"It's Mussolini's order, you know, Mussolini! He doesn't care about our difficulties, he just wants to see the results. The Madonna is on, can't you, those of you, use your brains! I don’t want to see any of you being dragged out and shot by the military police, this kind of thing hasn’t happened before.” Tripoli’s Italian military intelligence chief Major Giordano roared splatteredly, his horse lashed hard. Slicking the smooth tabletop of the antique 16th century round table in front of him.

"But major, obviously Baron Anthony, he insisted on it" an intelligence officer wanted to explain to his superior.

"Don’t mention this to me, this is not to explain the reason for your dereliction of duty. Where is Baron Anthony and his elite team now? Is there something unexpected, why the contact was cut off for two days, the responsible person remembered to report to the superior . Where was the support unit originally assigned to them? Don’t tell me that the **** were all drunk again.” Giordano threw the whip to the table and asked with the tip of the intelligence officer's nose.

"We have sent a search force, but the clue was interrupted when it reached the border. According to the commander of the local checkpoint, there was indeed a force that passed through their defense line under the leadership of a local guide, and he recognized it. Picture of Baron Anthony." Another intelligence officer quickly stood up to help his colleagues.

"Why did he cross the border line? Wasn't the original plan to wait for the target to enter our control zone and then intercept it as appropriate?" Giordano asked aloud.

"Perhaps something has changed, and now we lack first-hand information."

"Then check, you have to find this team, if you are still alive, bring this group of idiots back, and if an accident happens, you have to find their remains as much as possible. I now only hope that the French will not find them first. Otherwise, we will become very passive." Giordano covered his forehead with his hands. The explosion in front was too intense, and he now felt his brain swell.

"The French should not have found them, otherwise they should protest to us now." The previous intelligence officer offered his opinion.

"Captain Marchem, it seems to me that it is only a matter of time. We can only expect the search team to find the baron and his party first. Although Baron Anthony carries a disguised identification document, it is difficult to guarantee that he did not carry other Sensitive text information, if our people can find them in advance, then they can also deal with those items that may cause trouble in time, so that the algorithm can be investigated by the people, and we can also explain the reason for accidentally getting lost in the French territory. Something happened.

On the contrary, if the French find them first, no matter whether they are dead or alive, they will cause a diplomatic dispute. In the end, someone must be thrown out to be responsible for this incident. Anyway, it will not be someone in the Venetian palace, it must be you and me. Someone among people. Giordano sat down at the table, rubbing his temples on both sides with his hands.

"The search team has pretended to be a caravan and crossed the border. The French allegedly suddenly increased the patrol density on the border line. They should have noticed something," Malchimer reported.

"The French intelligence service is not a fool, they are also tracking the target. Now I hope that the search team can successfully find Baron Anthony, but you all know that this is the Sahara desert, and I don’t know how many caravans are mysteriously missing here every year. There is no trace left." said another intelligence officer.

"If it's really like what you said, Giuliano." Marchimer shrugged.

"Okay, Baron Anthony's problem will be dealt with in this way. We have no other way now. Remember to sort out the previous investigation records. If the above is really to be held accountable, we can also have a reasonable argument." Joe Major Eldano continued to rub his temples, and he felt much better than before.

"However, the order of Rome must be carried out. If it fails again, it will not be overshadowed by several investigation reports. Our leader will not tolerate failure, especially when he intervenes personally. It is really confusing. Understand that since the task is so important, why the superior did not want to support us more professionally, but sent an inexperienced brother to come over." Giordano said that it is difficult to hide the depressed mood.

The intelligence chief sighed secretly, and Italian intelligence agencies did not know when they had become so eroded. Before Giordano joined the Military Intelligence Agency, the Italian Military Intelligence Agency was Europe's premier intelligence agency. It was extremely active during the war and had obtained confidential information from many allied countries. For a period of time, Italian spies spread across every corner of the world. Even some small countries with horns and horns appeared with Italian agents in the guise of commerce and diplomacy.

But after the Caesar took office in the new century, the situation became worse and worse. A group of Mussolini's confidants were inserted into the highly professional command post, and a group of them were fired. Front-line personnel who are considered unreliable. Intelligence agencies within the military are now filled with the backbone of the Fascist Party. The funds of the Italian Military Intelligence Agency were deducted and misappropriated, overseas agencies were cancelled and streamlined, and personnel were recalled or simply dismissed on the spot.

The root cause of these problems is that the top bureaus of the Intelligence Agency have changed their ideas. They tried to please Mussolini, so they must cater to this leader’s “strategy”, and the world in this leader’s eyes is only the Mediterranean coast. A lap.

To know that Italy is a country with a long tradition of espionage, in the early days when Apennine was in a pile of city-states, a large number of various types of spies sprang up in Italy. They unscrupulously stole political and commercial information from various European countries. Money and beauty have bought officials from all over the world, and sometimes they have assassinated targets that employers regard as threats.

At that time, Apennine’s spy assassins were notoriously without a bottom line. In order to complete their tasks, they had no morals. The industry norms these people followed were to recognize money and not people. They could do whatever they needed to meet the needs of employers, even if they encountered themselves. Like friends and relatives who are ruthless.

Although the current Italian military intelligence personnel cannot be compared with those of the secret agents, they also follow the ideas of their predecessors. The secret agents adhere to their professional ethics and are loyal to their own country and their promises. When performing missions It is the same with no discipline and no bottom line.

"Are we still keeping track of the target." Giordano also knew that it was difficult for him to communicate, so he turned back to the topic.

"There is no news, but according to the original estimate, he should have entered the Libyan border by now. We have arranged eyeliners in several important border towns and ordered them to report to the headquarters as soon as they find the target." Mar Himer answered.

"Once the target is found, monitor it immediately, don't act rashly, or let the other party detect it. To prevent the other party from being frightened, destroy the intelligence information carried. In addition, I plan to dig out some hidden enemies from him. He can't just rely on When a person’s power is acting alone, there must be a group of associates in various places to support him. The opinions on the other side of Rome are also the same. If conditions permit, we can take advantage of this opportunity to dig out the relationship network built by the enemy in the colony. This involves top secrets. You don’t want to have a rumor, it’s about everyone’s future and destiny. You two must keep this in mind.” Giordano patted the table and stood up.

"I will go to the headquarters to participate in the meeting in the afternoon. You will make a plan for how to do it, and then I will sign it for approval."

"Observe, sir." The intelligence officer saluted the supervisor.
