Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 843 Who is Abbott

Now Germany is divided into two countries, and the confrontation, friction and conflict between the two sides continue.And the troops of the United States and the northern powers that were originally stationed on German territory have not withdrawn, making him feel like he doesn't know when a world war will happen here at any time.

Hamburg is the largest city in the area occupied by the US military and has the largest number of international journalists.From here, they deliver daily updates on the East-West standoff to their national news outlets.

It's just that the recent outbreak of the peninsula war has reduced the popularity of the news here.

Back in Hamburg, Schulz went to the Louiswig bar.The place where journalists like to come here, where journalists exchange information with each other, like an international press club.

Schultz walked into the bar and began to look for his target, and finally set his sights on a man who was joking with a waitress.

Schultz walked over to sit next to the man and said to the waitress: "Stay away from this gentleman. He is a veteran in love. Get me a glass of stout."

The waitress smiled and turned away.

The man said angrily, "Abbott, you ruined my good business again, otherwise I will definitely be able to bring her home tonight!"

"Of course, you can do it with my help!" Schultz replied.

He took a cigarette case from his pocket and placed it on the table in front of the man.

The man picked up the cigarette case and pulled out the contents, then hurriedly stuffed it back.Those are a pair of long-leg stockings worn by women. From England, France to Germany, women in all countries are crazy about this thing. With this pair of stockings, I don’t know how many women will follow you like a demon. !

"Abbot, you are really my angel! Tonight I must take home the most beautiful girl in the bar!" The man happily said with his arms around Schultz's shoulders.

"Kent, is there any news these days?" Schultz asked.

"No, Ivans have been very good recently." Kent replied.

The man was Kent, a reporter from The Times. Schultz valued him because Kent had been sent by The Times to Hong Kong for two years.

The waitress left after putting the beer on the table.

Schultz took a sip of beer and asked, "Kent, do you still have any friends in HK?"

"What do you need my help with, my friend?" Kent retorted.

"I have a friend named De Bruyne. His father was arrested after Mustache was assassinated by a bomb in [-]. He was the military attache of the German Consulate in Harbin. He fled overnight after hearing the news of his father. Later I heard Said that he has been wandering in HK, can you help me find him?" Schultz asked.

"There are too many Westerners in HK, and this matter is very difficult." Kent said in a difficult way.

"No, no, you misunderstood. I mean, please ask your friend in HK to publish a missing person notice in the local newspaper. If he sees it, contact the newspaper office. After I get his news, I will send a sum of money to HK, so that he can go back to Germany," explained Schulz.

Hearing Schultz say that, Kent smiled, and it was so much easier to do.

"I will send a telegram to my friend in HK tomorrow, asking him to post a missing person notice on the South China Morning Post in HK," Kent said.

Schultz took out his notebook and pen and wrote on the paper: Holt Moritz De Bruyne, contact the newspaper immediately after seeing this notice, and I will help you go home, your most sincere friend Ai Bo special.

When Schultz finished writing, he tore the paper out of the notebook and handed it to Kent.This is the content of the missing person notice.

"This is ten marks. It's the fee for the announcement. Take care of yourself, Brother Penicillin!" Schultz took out another banknote and put it in front of Kent, then stood up and patted Kent on the shoulder and said.

Calling Kent Brother Penicillin was Schultz's warning to him not to catch a nasty infection while playing with women.

Schulz walked out of the bar on the streets of Hamburg.He hoped that Hannah could see this missing person notice. Hannah knew who Haut Moritz de Braun was, and only this name was true in the whole missing person notice.

In the middle of the night in [-], De Bruyne, who had escaped from the German Consulate in Harbin, ran to Schulz's home for help. Schulz asked Hannah to hand over a sum of money to De Bruyne.Before leaving, De Bruyne said that he would go to South America by boat from Australia Island, and hoped that Schultz and the others would go there in the future.

De Bruyne is not in HK. For Hannah, the name only means one thing: escape!
If Hannah could see this missing person notice, she should know it was time to go.

Hope she can see it!Schultz prayed in his heart.

Kent also walked out of the bar half an hour later. He turned two streets on the street and took a taxi to a small building in St. Pauli.

He looked around and walked into the small building, which was MI[-]'s secret intelligence station in Hamburg.

A bald man in the office on the third floor heard the knock on the door and said, "Come in!"

Kent went in and put the paper that Schultz had handed him an hour earlier on the table.

"It was given to me by Abbott just now. He asked me to help him find his friends in HK. He asked my friends in HK to post a missing person notice in the newspaper." Kent explained.

The bald man picked up the paper, held it up to the light, looked at it carefully, put it under his nose and smelled it, but found nothing unusual.

"It looks like an ordinary missing person notice, there is no problem. But there must be some special meaning in it." The bald man said.

"Boss, do you want to post this missing person notice?" Kent asked.

"I still want to ask London for instructions, but my opinion is to send it out. Let's see what happens." The bald man replied.

"If it weren't for the kidnapping, we wouldn't have found out that he was a member of the Stasi. We still don't know anything about him except that he is a member of the Stasi," Kent said.

"Our people have already launched an investigation in Switzerland. Didn't he come back from Switzerland? Maybe there will be results soon." The bald man said.

He looked at the paper that Schultz tore out of his notebook on the table and said, "Maybe he has been to HK! Judging by his age, he is definitely an old hand!"

"This guy is calm and sophisticated, I think he must be a big fish!" Kent said.

"Don't worry, take your time! Don't disturb him. There are a lot of people from the big northern countries and the Stasi here. This person is only known to the smallest range of people. My hunch is that the longer we go from The more he will gain!" said the bald man.

Five days later, a missing person notice for Schultz was published in the middle seam of the HK South China Morning Post.

In the next few days, no one named De Bruyne approached the newspaper for help, and nothing happened in HK, which made MI[-] staff in HK busy for nothing.

The secretary walked into the bald man's office and put a document on the desk.

The bald man looked down at the information and said in surprise: "There really was a military attache at the German Consulate in Harbin during the De Bruyne War!"

"It is true that Kent relayed what Abbott said. De Bruyne's father was a retired general of the German army. He was executed along with a large number of people in four or four years because he opposed the mustache. That De Bruyne En's whereabouts are unknown after he escaped from what was then Manchukuo," said the secretary.

"It's getting more and more interesting. Did this Abbot ever go to Manchuria?" said the bald man.

Zhaodi now buys a copy of the South China Morning Post every day, and she uses this English newspaper to practice reading English aloud, which is also the task assigned to her by Teacher Iris.

Back home with Agrika, Brother Zhao went back to his room and put the schoolbag on the table, took out the newspaper inside and put it on the table.

At this moment the door opened, and a fat boy with big ears came into the room.

Qian Xiaobao, a two-year-old son, started running around, and when he saw his sister coming back, he also followed her.

"Come on, let my sister hug me!" Brother Zhao clapped his hands and said.

But the chubby kid ran up to Brother Zhao, grabbed the newspaper on the table, turned around and ran away.

"Stop, give me back the newspaper!" Zhaodi shouted.She shouted and chased after her.

The child ran down the stairs with the newspaper, and finally fell and rolled down the stairs when he was almost on the first floor.

Hearing the cries of the child, Xiaohong and Xiaolin Xun both ran out of the living room to watch.

Xiaohong hugged the crying child and coaxed him, saying: "He is so small, why are you chasing him? Don't you know he will fall?"

"He took my newspaper and ran away!" Brother Zhao explained angrily.

"What's so great about a newspaper! Hey, my son can read newspapers now? He will definitely be better than your father in the future!" Xiaohong said while hugging her child.

Brother Zhao watched Xiaohong suddenly turn around and go upstairs, and she said angrily as she walked, "Wait for my father to come back!"

It seems that no one in this family cares about him except his father.

Hannah heard the cry of the child in her room but did not leave the room. Hannah has never been out of the villa since Kawamoto Taro said that someone was sneaking around outside the villa.

She longs for a normal life, and even more for a rich life.Sitting in a limousine and walking on the streets of HK, going in and out of shops selling goods for the rich, which woman would not be intoxicated by it?

But Kawamoto Taro's words sounded the alarm for Hannah, now she can't go out, and she will never even be able to live like a normal person.Not only for myself, but also for my daughter.

During the meal, Zhaodi went downstairs and saw that her brother had already torn the newspaper into several pieces, and now he was stuffing a corner of the newspaper into his mouth.

"This is inedible!" Brother Zhao said, snatching the newspaper from the child's hand and throwing it on the ground.

But the child took out his trump card again and burst into tears.

Xiao Hong hurriedly ran out and pointed at Zhaodi with a white-stained finger and said, "Let him do whatever he wants, why do you always provoke him?"

Brother Zhao was so angry that he couldn't say anything.It's a pity that my wise and powerful father has found two old women who don't understand anything!
"The ink on the newspaper is poisonous and should not be eaten by children," Hannah said.

I don't know when she and Agrica have come downstairs.

Hearing what Teacher Iris said, Xiaohong turned around and went into the kitchen again.

"Protecting him every day is not born by you!" Zhaodi whispered.

Although the voice was small, Xiaohong still heard it.She was shaking with anger.If Qian Xiaobao hadn't been protecting her, Xiaohong would have kicked out this fast-talking dead girl!
Of course, this was just Xiaohong's thoughts when she was angry for a while.

Hannah and Agrica stood at the dining table looking at some steaming plates of dumplings.

Hannah hasn't eaten dumplings since leaving Northeast China.

"Mr. Iris, you haven't seen this kind of thing, have you? Sit down and taste it. It's delicious." Kaoru Kobayashi said with a smile.This is the result of more than an hour of labor between her and Xiaohong.

As she spoke, she put the knife and fork in front of Hannah and Aglica.

Aglica sat down and picked up a fork to fork a dumpling and put it in a bowl and said suddenly: "Vinegar!"

Aglica was four or five years old when she left Northeast China, and she had eaten dumplings!In her vague memory, she still remembered something called vinegar!

When Xiaohong Xiaolinxun and Zhaodi looked at Aglica, Hannah who reacted extremely quickly said, "chew! Your pronunciation just now is still not accurate enough."

Ten-year-old Aglica shut her mouth sensiblely and stopped talking.

Both Agrika and Hannah ate a lot of this meal, Xiaohong and Kobayashi Kaoru were very happy, it seems that their craftsmanship is also very good in front of Westerners!
Xiaohong and Xiaolin Xun cleaned up the dishes in the kitchen after dinner, Agrica and Zhaodi went back to their room, and the two-year-old child went to pester his sister again.

Hannah came into the living room and stooped to pick up the scraps of newspaper that had been thrown on the floor.

Her gaze swept over the newspaper, and the most attractive thing in the newspaper now was the news of the Peninsula War, which really surprised most people in the world. The Chinese army actually drove the United Nations army back.Then came the news that the Annans rebelled against the French, and the Malays rebelled against the British.

Hannah doesn't care about these things at all now, she doesn't care about any political news now.

Her eyes suddenly froze, fixed on a corner of the newspaper.

Hannah suddenly put the newspaper on the floor, and carefully put the pieces together.

Hannah knelt on the ground, motionless as a statue, her eyes fixed on the spelled-out name stitched in the middle of the newspaper: Haut Moritz de Braun.

Hannah knew this man, and De Bruyne left her house in a hurry with money seven years ago in the middle of the night, never to be seen again.

From the first name to the last name, Hannah thinks that this is definitely not the same name.

Who is Abbott, De Bruyne's truest friend?Isn't De Bruyne's best friend Schulz?Is Schultz warning himself?
For a moment, Hannah thought of the idea of ​​the newspaper asking for the contact information of Abbott, but she immediately rejected it again.

After all, Hannah is an intelligence officer who has received strict training. Besides, the information on the missing person notice is enough.

Looks like we're going to get out of here soon, Hannah thought.
