Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 136: Inside Story (Part 1)

"This confession seems logical, but I know Lamu must have hidden some information from me." Jurgen's eyes showed pride.

"I have dealt with professional criminals who are hundreds of times more cunning than him. This little trick is not worth talking about. There is really no lie in his confession. He knows we can tell the truth from the false, so he uses He tried to use a little trick to cover up another truth with one truth. And what he tried to cover up was obviously more important than what he explained in his confession. What was it that made him willing to commit the murder of Germany. The pilot’s guilt, should I try to hide it?" Jurgen looked at Randolph.

"I don't know, Major, but I believe that whatever he is hiding is no longer a secret." Randolph held up his coffee cup calmly.

"You're right, Lieutenant Colonel Randolph." Jurgen looked at Randolph who was pretending to be a master, and couldn't help sighing secretly, he was indeed the one who followed the Führer.

"You can understand the wisdom of the Führer." Randolph, who successfully quoted the Führer's quotation, showed a smug smile on his face.

"If I was working at the Gestapo, I would never tolerate the suspect playing these tricks in front of me. But now I am under the command of the Eye of Odin and everything must be done strictly according to the regulations, so I chose to give him An opportunity. Of course, some small punishments are necessary. We must safeguard the honor of the SS and not allow anyone to trample on it." Juergen’s words revealed a **** smell, Randolph agreed. Nodded.

The SS is the representative of the authority of the head of state, and it is the duty of every member to maintain the honor of the SS at all times. As for the connection between Lamu's behavior and the honor of the SS, Randolph could not figure it out, but what does it matter? Randolph is not going to waste his precious brain cells on this.

"Did he finally confess?" The SS lieutenant colonel picked up a small cookie from the glass dish, then stretched out his finger gracefully, and flicked the sugar crumbs that fell on the placket.

"Yes, he is not the kind of person who has a strong will. Maybe he has had it before, but he has also been wiped out by the enjoyment of these years. In order to avoid further suffering, he finally told me and Know everything," Jurgen replied with a smile.

"The secret that Lamu wanted to cover up was that the murder of Captain Horn was not a temporary idea he came up with. He was actually just following the order. The other party's purpose was obvious, to provoke a dispute between Germany and Britain. Contradiction. Although Lieutenant Horn’s rank is not high, he belongs to the Imperial Command, and Wavell’s theater command is willing to give him special orders, which is enough to prove his special status. If Captain Horn is killed in Egypt, then it must be. Will cause our attention and dissatisfaction." Jurgen said.

"In fact, Lamu's fate has been doomed from the moment he received the order. No matter what the final result, he will not be able to keep his identity. It is ridiculous that he is in the game, but he has not seen clearly. This fact." The SS major picked up his coffee.

"Then who gave him this order." Randolph twisted a honey-stained olive.

"Have you heard of the Brotherhood of the Holy City?" Jurgen reached out and opened a page of documents.

"What organization? I have never heard of this name." Randolph frowned and licked his slimy fingers.

"It’s not surprising that this organization has not been established for a long time. The core members are all faithful Ikhwan believers. It is said that their headquarters is located in the religious holy land of Mecca, so the organization was named the Holy City Brotherhood. "Jurgen clicked on the map.

"Lamu’s drug trafficking network and the Holy City Brotherhood have a close cooperative relationship. There is evidence that this organization is even directly involved in smuggling activities. They provide drug dealers with a camel team for transportation and provide support for those within their sphere of influence. The smuggling activities provide security protection. This scope includes the entire territory of Saudi Arabia, the southern border area of ​​Iraq and a part of Trans-Jordan and Palestinian territories. And Lamu confirmed that this organization is preparing to develop members in Egypt, and these people want to do more than It’s popular doctrine.” Jurgen drew a circle on the map of the Arabian Peninsula.

"Lamu is convinced that if his superiors gave him this order, he must have something to do with the Brothers in the Holy City."

"Why are these people targeting us Germans? This area is not our sphere of influence." Randolph looked at the map in confusion.

"These people are not targeting us, Lieutenant Colonel. They are targeting the British. The purpose of murdering German officers is to cause trouble to the British." Jurgen explained patiently.

"Are they in conflict with the British? This Holy City Brotherhood." Randolph lifted the coffee pot and shook it, then gestured to the orderly standing aside.

"Bring another pot of coffee." The lieutenant colonel ordered.

"Please wait, Lieutenant Colonel." The orderly turned and walked out of the office.

"Well, if I am right, there must be the support of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia behind this organization." Juergen replied.

"The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia? I remember they are allies with Britain, right." Randolph tilted his head and recalled.

"This relationship ended twenty years ago, and now the relationship between the two sides can be said to be quite bad." Jurgen replied.

The relationship between Saudi Arabia and the British Empire can be used as a realistic explanation of the term "everyone has a ghost." In the early days of Saudi Arabia, he tried every means to establish a relationship with the powerful British Empire. He sent envoys repeatedly to ask for British diplomats in the Middle East to request asylum from the British Empire. Ibn Saud’s humble and respectful attitude at the time touched all the British diplomats who had met him. They also suggested to the British cabinet to establish diplomatic relations with Saudi Arabia and accept this seemingly obedient little brother.

However, the British government changed twice for a full ten years, and none of the proposals to establish diplomatic relations with Saudi Arabia was approved by Parliament. The reason is very simple. At that time, the Arabian Peninsula was barren, and Saudi power was just starting. It only controlled a city in its hands. It was a large tribal chief when it died. How could it be regarded by the high-ranking British MPs? .

Another point is that the Persian Gulf was not the sphere of influence of the British at that time. They only paid attention to the land transportation line to India. The Saudi-controlled Najd area is located in the hinterland of the Arabian Peninsula and has no strategic value in the eyes of Britain. , And the more important reason is that the United Kingdom is worried that accepting little brothers in the Persian Gulf will stimulate Ottoman Turkey.

However, with the outbreak of World War I, Saudi Arabia is no longer an insignificant small Middle Eastern country in the eyes of Britain. He has become an important player in breaking the balance of power in the Middle East. In order to prevent Saudi Arabia from falling to Turkey due to pressure, the United Kingdom and Saudi Arabia signed the Linda Treaty, which officially included Saudi Arabia in the protection of the British Empire and began to provide comprehensive support to Saudi Arabia economically and militarily.

The British have worked very well in their calculations. They want Saudi Arabia to attack the Ottoman Empire in the Middle East, and even lead an Arab uprising to completely shake the Turkish rule in the Middle East.

In the four years of World War I, Saudi Arabia received a large amount of materials and economic support from the British, and pulled up an elite force armed with modern weapons, but only caused minor troubles to Turkey.

When the **** World War I ended, the British Empire was greatly injured in the war, and the glory of the empire gradually faded. In order to cultivate national strength, Britain began to implement a policy of contraction in diplomacy. Taking advantage of the weakening of the British Empire's influence in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia, which was aided by the British and became strong, turned its gun to its neighboring countries and launched a series of expansion wars.

Saudi forces armed with modern weapons and religious beliefs have won consecutive battles in the peninsula and soon took over half of the Arabian Peninsula in their hands. This, of course, aroused the vigilance of the United Kingdom. They were dissatisfied with Saudi Arabia’s wanton breaking of the peace in the Middle East, so they began to suppress the development of Saudi Arabia from various aspects, trying to curb the country’s crazy expansion momentum~IndoMTL.com~Saudi Arabia has always warned the United Kingdom Regarded as a sign of weakness, it did not put the British Empire in its eyes at all, and eventually forced the British to send troops directly and expelled the Saudi militia forces approaching Mecca.

Since then, the former allies have turned against each other. Although Britain tried its best to suppress the rise of Saudi Arabia, the national power of the British Empire is no longer as good as before. Saudi Arabia has used the power of religion to flourish in the Middle East, overturning several feuds in successive battles and occupying large areas of territory. When he took Mecca into his hands After that, Britain knew that his containment plan had gone bankrupt, and the result of Saudi Arabia's becoming a regional power was already in front of us.

At this time, Saudi Arabia also thought that its wings were already abundant and that it no longer needed the protection of the British Empire. In 1927, Britain and Saudi Arabia signed the Jeddah Treaty. Saudi Arabia is no longer protected by the United Kingdom. Independent status in the international arena.
