Just when Lin Wei was immersed in memories, Alexey interrupted Lin Wei's memories, "Mr. Alexey, what's the matter?" Although the memories were interrupted, Lin Wei still asked politely. road.

Alexey asked with a complicated expression, "Mr. Lampard, our two countries have cooperation in many fields. You should even know that in the Soviet Union, we have always regarded Germany as a friend. Why do you do such unpleasant things?" thing".

After Alexei asked, he stared at Lin Wei motionlessly. For a long time, Lin Wei replied, "Mr. Alexei, your neighbor to the east has a saying, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers."

"One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers?" Alexey repeated softly. After a while, he raised his head and said, "I understand." Two soldiers soon came in and took him away.

After Alexei left, Lin Wei immediately began to study the map again. While looking at the map, he said to Schneider, "If the Soviets want to retreat safely from Spain, they only need two roads. The land route is to sneak back through France, but now The French have sealed off the border with France. You only need to pay attention to the following at the border. There is also a sea route, take a cruise ship to smuggle back from the port of Cartagena. This road needs to be carefully observed, do you understand?"

"Yes, leader"

"By the way, how's the radio monitoring going?"

Speaking of radio monitoring, Schneider's face immediately fell, and he smiled bitterly and said, "Leader, I can only say that Berzin is a master. After so many days, I still haven't found anything unusual at all. I really don't know how he did it. , no abnormalities were found in any region of Spain”.

"Are there no abnormalities in all areas?" Lin Wei asked.

"Yes, leader"

"This is strange. If he wants to use the radio to direct other personnel to escape, there is no way he will not be discovered by us," Lin Wei asked rhetorically.

"Yes, leader, me too..." When he said this, Schneider suddenly ran back, cursing as he ran, "Damn, this guy must have gone to live next to that military base, and actually used the military base radio signal as cover, damn..."

Back in the radio listening room, Schneider began investigating again. Which military base had frequent contacts during this period was finally discovered in the military supervision area near Barcelona. The density of signals in Barcelona during this period was completely inconsistent with normal. There was no incident there, so Schneider quickly became suspicious. There.

After finding the reason, Schneider immediately felt very good, but what he said was completely inconsistent with his mood: "Berzin, after I catch you, I will shoot you myself."

Soon, Schneider secretly led the Gestapo to Barcelona, a port city in northeastern Spain. Schneider is not in the mood to enjoy the world-famous Mediterranean scenery. What he cares about now is to catch his goal. Schneider admires Berzin. In Barcelona, Berzin has many opportunities to escape, but so far , he was still directing his men to hide, and did not escape alone.

But not running away now does not mean that he will never run away. Once he finds out that he has been exposed and is in danger, he will definitely abscond. So Schneider immediately found the head of the National Army and the head of the police department in Barcelona and began to investigate this period. of foreign population.

Immediately, the registration of Barcelona's outsiders during this period was all in front of Schneider. Schneider noticed a man in Park Guell in the northern suburbs of Barcelona. This person was very consistent with Schneider's impression of Berzin. Schneider looked at the name on the registration - Berzin Lenko.

Next to Guell Park, in a three-story baroque building, Berzin was still contacting his subordinates non-stop as usual. Every moment of time now seemed very precious. He wanted to ensure that these Soviets were in Spain. The valuable talents accumulated during the civil war returned to their homeland.

As the first general military adviser sent by the Soviet Union, he was very shocked by the powerful combat effectiveness of the German armed forces now appearing in Spain. He must send the information he had back to the Soviet Union. He had already realized that this country was recovering its strength. The country will bring about huge changes in the future, but those ridiculous senior officials in the Kremlin and the State Security Administration actually think that the two countries can coexist peacefully in the future.

Can this information be taken seriously when sent back? Berzin is very aware of the current situation in the country. Last year, a group of senior generals including Deputy People's Commissar of Defense Tukhachevsky were arrested and executed on charges of treason for organizing an "anti-Soviet military center." A comprehensive purge was carried out in the army, and a total of 35,000 officers were suppressed, including 80% of senior officers and 3/5 of marshals, involving all military region commanders and most group army commanders. As a man with keen insight, Berzin A powerful agent, he could tell at a glance that the letter must be a forgery, and he himself had suspected Germany. However, the people who spoke for Marshal Tukhachevsky had been purged. If he spoke out It will definitely disappear without anyone noticing.

Berzin was thinking about the heavy problem, and he felt very depressed. He walked to the window to get some air. Looking at the beautiful Guell Park, Berzin walked through many places, but after coming to Spain, he began to like it unconsciously. There are also many small towers and protrusions on the roofs of the two small buildings at the entrance of Guell Park. The object has a very weird shape. Its surface is inlaid with broken porcelain pieces of white, thread, brown, blue, green, orange and other colors with weird patterns. The columns in the multi-column hall are regular in shape and arranged in an orderly manner, which is rare in Gaudi's works. The low walls around the roof terrace are zigzagging and covered with colorful porcelain tiles, forming weird and inexplicable patterns, like a crouching python.

"Although the residential area designed by Gaudí was not realized, it did create the beautiful scenery of Park Guell, which is also a good thing from another aspect." Berzin, who has a wide range of hobbies, naturally knows the allusions to Park Guell. , at this time, I couldn't help but sigh when I felt relaxed.

The small baroque building where Berzin lived was directly opposite Guell Park. In his spare time, Berzin liked to sit by the window and watch the young men and women falling in love in the park. The boys and girls coming and going entered the house. After Eyre Park, a unique large staircase leads people to a multi-column hall. Behind the hall is an ancient Greek theater. The large steps continue to lead people up to the roof platform of the multi-column hall.

The platform is vast, with a width and depth of about thirty meters each, and is surrounded by low walls and chairs. It is a good place for tourists to relax, party, walk and dance. From another perspective, the commander’s residence chosen by Berzin is also It is a good place to see and listen to all directions.

Suddenly, Berzin saw something unusual. There seemed to be a lot of tourists in the park today. Ever since Spain became a battlefield, Berzin had never seen so many tourists here together in such a long time since Spain became a battlefield. Soon Berzin noticed a group of people, about five or six men talking together. From the way they walked, Berzin could tell at a glance that all of them had served in the military, or they were originally soldiers.

This discovery made Berzin's mood fall into the abyss, but Berzin did not show off. On the surface, he was no different from before, and he was still watching these lovers laughing and laughing in a leisurely manner. But he kept watching the situation in the park. The more he watched, the worse the situation became. So far, Berzin has discovered that there are more than a dozen people who are different from the ordinary residents. This is what Berzin discovered. , who knows how many he didn’t discover.

At this moment, Schneider was sitting on an inconspicuous stone bench in Guell Park, wearing formal clothes and leather shoes, dressed like a gentleman. The flat newspaper blocked the view of observing him. If you take the newspaper away, you will find that his eyes are motionless staring at Berzin on the third floor balcony. Combining the information about Berzin in his mind, Schneider already knew that this was the person he was looking for.

When Schneider saw Berzin, his eyes seemed to be on fire. It was the man opposite who was making him spin around. Schneider has never waited for such a long time on a person. Even if those people are well hidden in the country, he can easily catch them. He must be captured alive. Schneider is secretly feeling cruel. .

"I don't know how Lester and the others are doing. They should have blocked off the neighborhood here," Schneider muttered. "No matter what, Berzin will definitely not be able to escape today."

At this time, Berzin, who was on the balcony, calmly and slowly retreated into the bedroom. Schneider took a look, and in order to prevent a long night of nightmares, he immediately started to move towards the small building where Berzin lived with the Gestapo in the park.

Berzin hid behind the window, watched Schneider's actions, and immediately took out a pistol from the drawer. and began to think of the best escape route in his mind.

But what he could think of, Schneider had already thought of it all. Before he came, Schneider had already sent people to blockade the nearby neighborhoods, and those hidden alleys, where the Gestapo personally squatted, waiting for him. Jin threw himself into a trap.

After Berzin prepared the necessary self-defense weapons, he immediately set a fire in the room, firstly to eliminate evidence, and secondly to create chaos to facilitate his escape. Soon a raging fire broke out in the room. Berzin took advantage of the thick smoke and jumped out of the window. After landing, he immediately started running away.

After a few blocks, Berzin felt that he was safe, and finally stopped to take a breath, but he was still unhappy. Schneider came out of the alley, applauding as he walked, "Mr. Berzin, You definitely did very well in the Soviet agent training. You were really good at adapting to the situation just now. I was almost deceived."

Berzin knew something was wrong as soon as Schneider appeared, and he immediately pointed the pistol at his temple. At this moment, bang...

Berzin covered his hands and lowered his head with a pale face. Schneider stretched out his thumb and shouted "Well done" to the bell tower behind him. Schneider was in a good mood and walked up to Berzin and said sarcastically, "Mr. Berzin, I've been looking for you for a long time. Why do you want to leave so soon? Someone, take Mr. Berzin to Madrid." Our leader is waiting for him."

Schneider whistled excitedly and got on the military vehicle bound for Madrid, thinking that he must interrogate the Soviet Union's first general military adviser. He must know many secret events within the Soviet Union.

After arriving in Madrid, Lin Wei saw that Berzin had been successfully arrested. Of course, he was very happy to praise Schneider and said that he would propose to Heydrich to give him a medal.

"Okay, now that Berzin has been caught, I am going back to Germany. The remaining Soviets who have not been caught yet need to worry about Schneider." Lin Wei captured Schneider from After meeting Berzin, we began to prepare to return to China. Leave it to Schneider to take care of the rest.

"Leader, why are you going back so early?"

Lin Wei heard Schneider's request to stay and smiled slightly, "I'm not a professional to begin with. It's just adding trouble here. A layman leads an expert. After I leave, you can better use your talents." He paused and said, "Let's talk about it." I miss home too, you have to know, my baby was just born." At the end of the sentence, Lin Wei laughed to himself.
