Chapter 1287 The mantis stalks the cicada
In the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, the Dandenong Mountains are silent after nightfall.
It coincided with the full moon, and a bright moon hung high in the sky, illuminating the mountain forest as if it were daytime. Only the shadows of the trees were still dim, and dark shadows could be faintly seen shaking.
The truck of Hall Glass Factory was driving on a dirt road. The driver kept glancing at the rearview mirror. When he drove to a big tree, the driver pressed the switch and flashed the lights twice, and then walked out of the woods in the distance. a group of people.
Mu He watched the truck stop in front of him, with a smile finally showing on his stern face. He walked faster to the side of the truck and reached out to tap on the surface of the hidden compartment.
Agent Abwehr, who was huddled in the dark compartment, heard the signal and slowly pushed open the baffle with one hand, holding the pistol tightly with the other hand. He did not put down his weapon and guard until he saw Mu He clearly under the moonlight.
The man crawled out of the secret compartment and immediately handed the film to Mu Hyul. His movements were cautious, as if a little more strength would destroy the hard-earned information.
Muhe took the film and said a wisecrack to the other party with a smile: "Relax, Rollei's film is as strong as the Imperial soldiers, not so fragile."
The expressions of the German agents present looked as if they had seen a ghost. They were doubting their ears and eyes. How could General Muhe laugh?
This is the biggest news in Abweir this year, and it is even more shocking than the Empire's attack on Red Russia. After all, the latter will happen sooner or later, but this is the first time they have seen the former.
Perhaps noticing the reaction of his men, Mu Hyuk suppressed his smile and asked about the details of the operation with a serious expression.
The agent reported the infiltration process and repeatedly ensured that the guards did not notice him. He also perfectly restored the order and angle of the placement of the documents.
Muhe believed in his subordinate's abilities. As Abwehr's most elite intelligence officer during his trip, the opponent had successfully stolen military deployments from the heavily guarded British headquarters. It was naturally easier to deal with a group of civilians.
However, whether the information in the film is valuable or not needs to be developed and handed over to the scientists of the empire for judgment. Muhe waved to the crowd, and the real driver of Hall Glass Factory hurriedly stepped forward.
"Watch your mouth, I don't want to hear any rumors about tonight, understand?" Muhe threw a wad of pounds and warned the driver.
The driver lowered his head to count the banknotes and nodded his head: "Of course, I have never met you gentlemen. If anyone asks, I will say that my cousin has left Australia."
Mu Hyuk was extremely satisfied, but at the same time he felt contempt. The descendants of these thieves only had money in their eyes and did not know what loyalty and honor were.
If the authenticity of the information had not yet been verified, Abwell might have needed the other party's help. He really wanted to bury the greedy British guy in the woods.
"Very good, I look forward to our next cooperation. Goodbye." Mu He resisted the murderous intention and turned to leave.
The driver waved his arms desperately and waved goodbye to the sponsors enthusiastically: "Goodbye, sir. If you need anything in the future, please do. Bang!"
Suddenly a bullet was shot out of the darkness, interrupting the driver's chatter and the branches above his head. The flying sawdust immediately left several blood stains on his cheeks.
"hidden!"
The moment the gunfire rang out, Muhe rolled and hid behind a thick tree, not forgetting to give an early warning.
The other German agents also reacted very quickly. As soon as Muhe's reminder was shouted, they extinguished their flashlights and hid in the bunker, raised their weapons and pointed them in the direction of the gunfire.
In the woods, the chirping birds were frightened away by the sound of gunfire. The moonlight spilled from the gaps between the treetops to the ground. A layer of light mist slowly rose from the ground. The German agents present could only hear the heavy breathing of themselves and their companions. Voice.
After waiting for a long time, seeing that no one was attacking or showing up, Mu He made a few gestures to the men next to him, and then shouted loudly.
"We're workers at Hall Glass Works, not **** rich, and no matter who you are, you can't get what you want from us."
While he was talking, several German agents divided into two groups and moved forward quietly using the cover of big trees and rocks, trying to find the shooter.
Bang~ There was another gunshot, and a deep crater appeared on the tree trunk in front of Mu He, followed by a male voice coming from deep in the woods.
"General Muhe, as an ally, I think the Empire of Japan has the right to share penicillin information. What do you think?"
"And those gentlemen, please don't come any closer, otherwise my people won't mind leaving you some small marks."
The sound echoed in the forest, full of banter. The moving German agents paused. Many black shadows appeared in front of them. They were already surrounded.
Mu He punched the big tree hard and cursed the **** **** secretly. He had already heard that the other party was the Japanese intelligence officer who was in contact with him. The German Empire was once again betrayed by its allies!
Tens of meters away, Ryosuke Hase leaned against the rock wall and shouted: "General, as long as you hand over the information, I will let you leave Australia unscathed. I guarantee it with my reputation. Please trust a gentleman." ensure."
Listening to Chang Gu's shouting, Tongsuo and Xing Hanliang on the side had strange expressions. The Japanese had already ambushed their allies, so what reputation could they have left?
Saburo Iguchi and other Japanese spy leaders looked calm. They were much more experienced than Hase when it came to lying.
Mu He was so angry at the Japanese's shamelessness that he immediately replied: "German soldiers do not accept threats. If you want to cause a war, just shoot!" "No, this is not a threat, but a kind reminder. My people have been surrounded Once here, no one can escape, and no one knows who killed you." Hase Ryosuke continued to shout, with a hint of pride in his voice.
All the German agents looked at Muhe and saw that he did not speak, so they gathered their weapons.
However, since it was a response operation, the Germans did not carry much automatic firepower. They only had a few rifles and a small number of grenades for use after interruption. The firepower was far away from the Japanese.
In the event of a firefight, the Japanese, with their terrain and equipment advantages, could easily suppress the Abwehr side.
Mu Hye's brain was thinking at high speed. The Japanese had obviously been prepared. Perhaps they had been preparing to seize the penicillin information from the empire from the beginning. What a bunch of despicable guys.
He cursed in his mind again, but he also thought clearly. Penicillin is owned by more than one country. The Americans and British have pharmaceutical factories. There is no need for him to fight the Japanese to the death, but he cannot easily agree to the Japanese's request.
They had to find a hostage important enough to prevent the other party from regretting after getting the information, so Mu Hyuk made a condition for Chang Gu.
"Okay, I can share the information, but sir, should you come out and hand it over in person?"
Hase Ryosuke was not surprised at all by this request. He nodded to Iguchi Saburo, who looked puzzled and pointed at himself.
"I?"
"Yoshi, Iguchi-kun, you are a technical expert, and you need to judge the authenticity of the information." Hase Ryosuke said matter-of-factly.
"But me."
"No but, Iguchi-kun, I am the commander of this operation, you must obey orders."
Facing the hesitant Saburo Iguchi, Changgu waved the gun in his hand and raised his chin at Tongsuo and Xing Hanliang. Tongsuo and Xing Hanliang immediately understood and slowly leaned towards the wellhead.
Although Saburo Iguchi was a soldier, he had never served in a front-line combat unit. Looking at the expressionless Hase and the three others, they completely lost the ferocity and calmness they used to treat prisoners of war, and had to reluctantly leave the bunker and walk towards the Germans. location.
Hase Ryosuke sneered and said hypocritically to Mu He: "Excuse me, I have more important work to do. The person you are meeting now is Major General Iguchi of the Kwantung Army's Water Supply Force. I think you should have heard of him. name."
Mu Hyuk had no objection. A general was enough to serve as a hostage to **** them to a safe evacuation. What's more, this general was also the founder of Japan's germ warfare force.
While greeting Hase's relatives, Saburo Iguchi walked out of the woods and met Mu Hyul successfully. The two parties began to verify the authenticity of the technical data.
The German agents used raincloths to temporarily build a darkroom to develop the films taken from the pharmaceutical factory. The rest were on guard to prevent Japanese sneak attacks and the sudden appearance of the Australian police.
Mu He was even more worried about the former one. This place was deserted and surrounded by forests. The sound of gunshots could not travel far and the chance of Australian police showing up was very small.
The Japanese were different. It was unknown whether the other party would kill and silence them if they got the information. He secretly gave orders to his subordinates. Once the Japanese opened fire, everyone would break out towards the city.
The Australian police are both an obstacle and a help to the operation. They can completely escape the pursuit with the help of the Australian police.
Forty minutes later, Saburo Iguchi turned on his flashlight and looked at the contents of the documents in the photos. As he looked at them, his brows knitted together. The information seemed not quite right.
As an experienced scientific researcher, Iguchi was keenly aware that the number and diversity of samples in the data were too limited even though he only took a rough look at it.
In drug research, if the number of samples is too small or limited to a single population, the experimental results will not be generalizable, which is very detrimental to drug research and development. Researchers in pharmaceutical companies should not be so amateur.
Mu He, who was originally full of confidence, suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart when he saw Jingguchi's reaction. He had already agreed to share the information, and the Japanese had no reason to play any more tricks.
He quickly took two steps forward and asked in English: "Your Majesty General, is there something wrong with the information?"
Saburo Iguchi put down the photo and nodded affirmatively. A pharmaceutical company that could develop the technology to prepare penicillin on a large scale would never make such a stupid mistake.
"Mr. Muhy, I think."
"Bang~"
Before Jingguchi finished speaking, another gunshot rang out. This time it was no longer a warning shot. Among the Japanese operatives, a traitor looked down at the wound on his thigh. He was stunned for a few seconds and then fell to the ground holding his thigh and wailing.
