To tell the story of Governor Philip, we have to go forward three months. Before the war in the Far East was over, in the stateroom of a cruise ship sailing from the East to Europe, a man with a tall nose and deep eyes appeared. , a handsome man with blond hair and blue eyes is getting ready to return to Europe by boat.
Shanghai's top tailor used the highest-end materials in Europe for his exquisite casual suits, gold pocket watches, gemstone cufflinks, and exquisite silver cigar boxes filled with top-quality cigars rubbed by Havana girls on their laps.
In the cruise ship's restaurant, he always chooses the fixed window seat, a bottle of the best red wine, special dishes recommended by the chef, and his two assistants. The daily consumption is simply jaw-dropping.
All the ladies in the first-class cabin were attracted by this rich and handsome man. They kept shooting at him with their peach blossom eyes, and some of them even took the initiative and even knocked on his cabin door in the middle of the night.
It's a pity that this man's heart is not in these passing flowers. He pushes away all romantic encounters like a Puritan and just spends his ordinary journey quietly.
The journey across half of the world is always very boring. Over time, those crazy bees and butterflies will ignore this man who does not know the style. Maybe this is just a pair of master and servant who have a hobby of traveling around the world, just like a lot of food and clothing. The life of a carefree European young man is the same.
But no one knew that this indifferent gentleman would secretly spend more than an hour in the cabin with his assistant every day in disguise.
The mustache is glued on, and some transparent isinglass is applied under the eyelids to tilt the corners of the eyes downward. The sideburns need to be corrected to be larger, and more hair should be attached if necessary.
"Hey... be gentle Raymond! Look if my skin is inflamed. It's so painful. I really want to throw away these disguises!"
"Sir Pierre...just be patient. The mail ship has just passed the Suez Canal and is on the most dangerous Mediterranean route. It will be safe when we get ashore in Athens and connect with Prussia!"
The mysterious guest is none other than Pierre, the French gold medal intelligence officer who has followed Xiao Letian for many years, and the assistant Raymond is the intelligence officer Raymond under Molière who surrendered in the Battle of Amami Oshima.
This time they returned to Europe in disguise, and the two of them were opening the way for the subsequent large forces. When the war in the Far East was raging, Xiao Letian did not forget Europe, and a new war was brewing.
Athens is an important port on the Mediterranean. After the cruise ship arrived here, Pierre and Raymond disembarked and landed. They did not dare to move forward. The further they went through Italy, the closer they would get to the French mainland, and they themselves His information has long been on the blacklist of the French intelligence agency, and there are too many acquaintances waiting to hunt him down.
Pierre's position within the CIA is very, very hidden, and very few people even know about his existence. He has a new profession in Ryukyu as a French teacher, and he usually teaches more than a dozen children to learn French. This is what he is like on the surface. work.
Secretly, he is the CIA's important analyst on European affairs, including this Sino-Russian war. He also provided a lot of accurate analysis data.
But in general, Pierre didn't spend much time working for Xiao Letian in the past few years. It seemed that the head of state and Wang Huaiyuan were reluctant to use him.
It’s not that the two of them don’t recognize Pierre’s ability. This is Xiao Letian’s shrewd way of controlling his subordinates. He knows very well that he can’t catch all the benefit of the doubt. Pierre is of course very good at analyzing European affairs, but he is still very concerned about Asia. unfamiliar.
So over the years, Xiao Letian has been paid a high salary to familiarize himself with Asia's national conditions, culture, military, and history... This is also a run-in for both parties. Xiao Letian is very patient, and the head of state is never impatient when it comes to cultivating talents.
It was not until the outbreak of the Far East War and the violent victory over Amami Oshima that Xiao Letian felt that the time had come. He began to release the gold medal falcon that would be raised for a long time and ordered him to secretly go to Europe with many important documents.
Two huge suitcases were filled with information and documents that were heavy in their hands. When they walked down the gangway, local dockworkers quickly came over to take care of the work. They crowded together and hoped that the gentleman would hire them to fight against the baggage. , these dock workers have vicious eyes, and they can tell at a glance whose clothes are the most expensive.
"Sir, sir! Use me as your guide, I know all the ruins around Athens..."
"Dear gentleman, I am familiar with all high-end hotels in Athens and I can bring you the best deals..."
"Sir, I know where the most beautiful girls in Athens are. If you want to drink the best wine, I can also find the way..."
"gentlemen……"
The chaotic group of people crowded Pierre and Raymond, and the two suddenly felt bad. They looked at each other and began to squeeze toward the northeast.
On the deck, the second officer was bidding farewell to this generous new friend, but soon the second officer discovered the clues. He had not taken this route once or twice. Although the port and terminal in Athens were chaotic, the people who pulled the labor were some rogues. , but he will never be so rogue.
Generally speaking, if a guest refuses two or three times, these people should leave wisely. Why do these people pester these two distinguished guests for more than 20 meters?
"Hey...what do you want to do? Don't harass the gentleman. If you do this again, I won't be polite..."
The cruise ship would not set sail immediately, and there was still plenty of time at the moment. The second officer saw that these dock workers were a bit outrageous, and with a wave of his hand, four strong sailors on the cruise ship rushed down the gangway.
"Go away, don't be rude to your distinguished guest... Oh my God! What is that in your hand? There is a knife... Be careful, sir!"
Several strong workers used their bodies to block the four sailors, but a dock worker close to Pierre suddenly took out a dagger from the tattered leather boot and stabbed Pierre directly in the waist without the slightest hesitation. go.
The sailor's cry reminded the two of them. When Raymond saw it, his head was buzzing. It turned out that our identities had been exposed a long time ago. When did this happen? Really in Sri Lanka or in the Suez Canal?
"Be careful..." Raymond yelled and smashed the leather bag in his hand. There was only a dull sound of the leather being pierced, and the sharp dagger pierced the bag directly to the end.
"Police! Where are the police... Someone is assassinating a noble! Someone is assassinating a noble!" Raymond howled like a wild wolf. He also took out a short cylinder from his arms, crushed the wax seal and let out a stream of spicy smoke. Roll out.
"Cough cough cough...ah...my arm..." Raymond knocked Pierre out of the crowd with a tiger pounce, and his arm was also stabbed with a deep blood groove, and blood spattered everywhere.
"Come on, sir... Northeast Iron Anchor Tavern... Quick, I'll block it for you... Ah!" Raymond screamed and was stabbed in the back again.
