Chapter 3: The Most Dangerous Man (3)
Faced with the step-by-step interlocking plan, Skorzny couldn't help but think of Rank, thinking about how he should deal with the problem if he were in such a moment.
Like Operation Thunder, the Führer had a German Wolf who volunteered to serve from the SS American Army, but in Hoffman's eyes, Wolf was inferior to Ranke in terms of ability and faith, so at best he was just a guide, and the core of the team was still Skorzny, for the sake of secrecy, Wolf, like most others, had no idea what specific task he was going to perform, all he had to do was to bring the commando team to the designated place safely and securely as much as possible.
Skorzny, who had been thinking for a long time, summoned Wolf and asked him in English: "You say that there is no strict demarcation line and garrison forces on the U.S.-Mexico border?" ”
"It's the captain, you don't have to be so serious, Americans are usually very casual." Wolf laughed, "Unlike Europe, not only is the border between the United States and Mexico not strictly controlled, but the border with Canada is more loosely controlled, Mexicans often mix in the United States, and there are Cubans and so on, Texas is the base camp of Mexican descendants, and legal and illegal Mexicans account for a large part of the population." ”
"The U.S. police or the National Guard don't care?"
"I don't care about this kind of thing, unless I happen to catch it. Texas was originally Mexican territory, and the United States annexed it after the Mexican-American War was won, and it has been less than 100 years now, and there are many Mexicans living there, and "Wolf blinked, "because Mexicans are generally engaged in jobs that coolies and Americans are not willing to do, so the government also turns a blind eye to illegal Mexicans, they have cracked down on illegal immigrants many times, and they can fight again, and this demand can't resist every crackdown on immigrants and forced repatriation, shoeshine on the street, newspaper delivery, milk delivery, cleaners, There will be a shortage of plumbers, the average civilian will not be happy to take on the work of the Mexicans, even in the Great Depression, Americans are not willing to do particularly hard work, I saw a lot of unemployed white people dangling around when I was a child, not doing this kind of work that they looked like was low, of course this is what I was before the service, I don't know exactly how it is now, but I guess it should be not much worse. ”
"Aren't there a lot of black people?"
"Negroes?" Wolf shook his head, "They can't, they're lazier and harder to call than the Mexicans."
"Wouldn't it be troublesome for us to pretend to be Mexicans?"
"It's not a big problem." Wolf looked at Skolzny's size and said, "Mexico has the difference between white ink and black ink, white ink is a descendant of Spain, basically the appearance of Europeans, relatively high status, and work is also ideal, it is considered a normal group, if it is white ink from Mexico to the United States, it is basically mostly businessmen; Black ink, it looks a little lighter than the black people, the skin is close to brown, and there is still a difference between the black people, I heard that it is a mixture of Indians and blacks."
"No wonder the Führer insisted on finding us a few players who knew Spanish."
"For Mexicans, your English is good enough, it's better if you can bring a little Spanish accent, as for Spanish, it doesn't matter if you will or not, anyway, when you meet someone you don't understand, you can be confused if you say German, and if you really understand Spanish, it's useless for you to speak Spanish with him, it's fake when you hear it, the key is your stature and size, not to mention that Mexicans are rare, even purebred Spaniards are rare."
"So I'm a good guard! Alfred is the captain! ”
"I think, the best, the best" Wolf hesitated, not knowing what to say.
"Don't be the best, I know what it means to play a drug lord!"
Playing the drug lord is a plan of action determined by Hoffman and the relevant experts and intelligence personnel of the General Security Bureau after repeated discussions, although playing the drug lord is easy to investigate, but it can explain more than 30 powerful secret groups; second, they can carry the necessary equipment and weapons; Third, it is not surprising to hide his whereabouts. In the United States, it is mainly the police and occasionally the National Guard who deal with drug lords, who are much easier to deal with than the counterintelligence agencies, so the Skorzny commandos have a disgraceful code name for the Mexican gangs.
Now the "bandits" are on their way to Mexico, where German intelligence agents will pick them up and cover their passage through the U.S.-Mexico border, which is much more chaotic than the United States, and the Third Reich is much more powerful and disposed of here.
After listening to the gang's idea, Wolf was slightly stunned, and then gave a thumbs up: "Yes, yes, sir, this is it!" ”
"Have you been exposed to drug lords or gangsters?"
"No, but I did," Wolf recounted a lot of what he had seen, "and in the United States there were people who had sex with drug lords, except for Mexicans, followed by Italians, Irish, oh, and occasionally Slavic." The real Anglo-Saxons, Germans or French were rarely contacted. ”
"They kill people like hemp, especially in the slums, there are often young people who die in an unknown way, which is closely related to black and white, and as for the American police, they are also widely involved with gangs and drug lords Without their connivance, can you imagine the abuse of opium or other narcotics in the United States?" Wolf shrugged, "The gangs not only sell all kinds of narcotics, but also human trafficking, protection money, and smuggling goods, especially spirits!" In contrast, narcotics are like petty trade. ”
Wolf told a lot about what he saw and heard, but only a small part was eyewitnessing, and most of it was rumored or spread by adding fuel to the chase, but Skorzny had already done enough through the Italian side beforehand to think that risks and opportunities coexisted, at least the Führer's idea of choosing to play the gang? It's exciting to think about.
"By the way, captain, if you really play a gangster, you don't have to be Mexican, you can also mix in some Irish, Italians or other people, so that they are the main ones who are engaged in underground activities in the United States that look more realistic."
Skoltsny has also heard of this situation, the original gangs in the United States are mainly in the west, with the rise of the cowboy movement, but many are spontaneous and scattered, since the implementation of Prohibition in the United States in the 1920s, it has greatly promoted the activity of gangs, especially the Thomson submachine gun known as the "Chicago typewriter" is the standard for gangsters, wearing a black suit, wearing sunglasses, a long coat in winter, and after it is open, it is the Thomson strafing with intensive firepower, which is almost a standard routine, Now Mexican intelligence agents have helped them gather enough weapons, ammunition, and other supplies, and the weapons brought over the submarine are other special equipment, such as recoilless guns and iron fist bazookas.
Now Skoltsny understands why he doesn't have the same feeling when he looks at Wolf as he does when he looks at Rank: Ranke is a highly educated elite, a hero who sacrifices his life for his ideals and missions, is familiar with the super-secret of academics, and when he played the role of a British gendarme, Ranke was a good candidate; Wolfe, who had only received a secondary education, mixed with society, and then became a soldier, far surpassed Ranke in terms of improvisation, but he was probably not as strong in faith and devotion as Ranke. However, the Führer obviously had different considerations, and if he wanted to blend in with society, Wolf was also a good choice.
He suddenly remembered that Eddie Chapman, the original cooperation of Operation Skythunder, was completely the dregs of society, and it was a last resort, and Wolf was in between.
He patted the other person on the shoulder and laughed, "I suddenly feel like I'm more sure of success." ”
Wolf was stunned, he didn't understand where the other party got so full confidence?
"Believe me, I've done a lot of great things, and I'm here unscathed." Skorzny shook the Knight's Cross at his collar as if he were ostentatious, "See, it's a symbol of success." ”
Of course, Wolf recognized what level of the medal was, he had heard of it on the Eastern Front, it was at least a feat possessed by senior officers and super-ace pilots above the rank of general, and his eyes couldn't help but heat up at the thought of the honor behind the medal and the share of the oil fund.
"As long as the operation is successful, each of us can receive a medal, and you, at least one knight's cross."
"I'll do my best, sir!"
