Chapter 61: Apostasy
Mr. Martin easily took the bait, lost his own life, and lost his wife to the spies who ate people and did not spit out bones.
Intelligence to Jacqueline. Ma Dan's mission is to get close to Guan Zhuofan, become his lover, and then find a way to extract valuable information from him.
Jacqueline had no choice but to say yes.
Originally, she thought that this Chinese general was such a devil with green faces and fangs, and how painful this "mission" would be for herself. Unexpectedly, the other party was not only young and handsome, but also gentle and polite, most of the obstacles in his heart were removed at once, and he performed the "task", not only was it not torture, but almost enjoyment.
In the original Jihua, assassinating Guan Zhuofan was also one of the options, but Jacqueline resolutely refused. After evaluation, the secret service also decided that she could not do this. People who are not professionally trained to perform such tasks will be highly stressed, and the probability of failure is extremely high.
What's more, even if she succeeds, there is basically no possibility of escape, Jacqueline is not a patriot who sacrificed her life to go to righteousness, and if she has to do this kind of thing, it is tantamount to forcing her to rebel.
After all, debt is terrible, and life is worth more.
As for Mia, her parents were indeed caught. Not because of losing money on a gamble, of course, but because of statements against slavery. Originally, there was freedom of speech, but in peacetime there was certainly no one to care about it, and there were many people in both the North and the South who opposed and supported slavery. But it's a time of war, and it's out of place to say that all day.
So someone accused Arendt and his wife of acting as spies for the Northern Army, and the spies didn't care about it, and they would talk about it when they were arrested, anyway, they would have looked at you unpleasantly.
Mia is forced to join the operation or not release her parents.
Mia was given the task of spying on Jacqueline.
Mia was a big failure of the operation. Jacqueline needs to be watched. But one should not choose someone like Mia, who is neither worldly nor dissatisfied with the government.
The Southern Army formed a special operations group for this jihua. by Thomas, the intelligence chief of the Confederacy. Jordan personally led the selection, and Jacqueline personally circled the selection. Thomas. Once Jordan had identified Jacqueline, he left the rest of the work to his men.
The agents who captured the Arendt couple were shocked to see Mia, thinking that "she is too beautiful to easily approach the lascivious Chinese general", so they recommended it to the special operations team. The spies of the special action group saw it and thought it was reasonable. A royal maid, a Lori, double insurance, the Chinese general always has to make a move.
But Mia didn't have a clear task to sleep with Guan Zhuofan. Of course, the special team wanted to send her one more such task, but Mia was young and a virgin, and if she was forced to do the bed, she was afraid that it would be clumsy.
Since one overseer and the other supervised, the relationship between the two people cannot really be good. Jacqueline forced Mia to act on her behalf, when she was "inconvenient". Of course, it was to please Guan Zhuofan, but also to deliberately embarrass the little overseer.
Again. Jacqueline didn't know how many tasks the agents gave Mia, perhaps including sleeping with Guan Zhuofan.
Mia's mother and Jacqueline are good friends - like Mr. Arendt's gambling addiction, the agents designed their haode lines for them beforehand.
Mia is a true admirer of Kwan Zhuofan - Jacqueline is not lying. It's just that at the beginning, this idol disappointed the little girl - so easily fell into Jacqueline's tender love network!
Jacqueline forced herself to "sleep" for Guan Zhuofan, and almost shattered Xiao Nizi's three views - she thought it was Guan Zhuofan's meaning.
Thank God it turned out to be a misunderstanding!
Moreover, he was not only a freer of slaves, but also so gentle and gentlemanly, and especially, he had never imagined before: he loved literature so much! He was able to recite "The Troubles of Young Werther"!
Mia thinks she's madly in love with the young and handsome Chinese general.
How could I hurt such a beautiful person? Besides, he is such a great knight that he can definitely save my parents!
That's it, Mia. Arendt did not hesitate to "defect".
In fact, like Mia, Jacqueline is by no means a competent spy, she may know how to approach men, but she doesn't really know how to get information, or even what constitutes "valuable information".
What's more, her feelings for Guan Zhuofan have undergone very subtle changes, and she is more and more willing to stay with him, but she is more and more unwilling to perform the original task.
Her thoughts were already very close to Mia: "How can I hurt such a beautiful person?" Besides, he is such a great knight that he can surely save me! ”
It's a pity to let Mia go first.
Beforehand, the Confederate secret services didn't have high expectations for this operation, but they thought that even if it failed, it wouldn't be a big deal: apart from their true identities, Jacqueline and Mia didn't know any other Confederate confidential information, and there was no risk of leaking it; They could be hanged by the Northern Army - and that's no pity, not professional intelligence officers they had trained anyway.
So, although Jihua is full of loopholes, you might as well give it a try.
No one seriously thought about it: what if these two women defected?
Confederate Atlanta City Defense Command.
The guards came to report that a man had come from the army in the northeast of the city, saying that there was confidential information to be presented to General Hood.
The intelligence department had hit a "nail" in the headquarters of the Left Route Army of the Northern Army, and Hood knew about this, and when he heard the news, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly called him in.
The person who came was "her", a young girl, already covered in dust and tired, but with blonde hair and blue eyes, it was difficult to hide her beauty.
The girl said her name was Mia. Arendt, by Jacqueline. Assigned by Madame Madan, to deliver the information.
After saying that, his long hair like a waterfall slipped down, and the golden light was shining, and Hood secretly exclaimed in his heart: It is really the most beautiful green silk he has ever seen in his life!
Mia took a small silk bag from her hair and handed it to Hood.
Hood took it apart, looked at it, and his eyes became brighter and brighter: exactly the same as my previous judgment!
After reading it, Hood solemnly expressed his gratitude to Mrs. Martin for her contribution to the country, and after the war, he would definitely apply for the government's praise for Mrs. Martin and Miss Arendt.
After Mia's farewell, Hood ordered a battle meeting.
At the meeting, Hood announced that, according to reliable intelligence, the Northern Army had begun to make major moves: leaving appropriate forces south of Atlanta to contain the Southern Army, the main forces of the east and west flanks converging north of Atlanta, and then launching an all-out attack with the intention of attacking Atlanta from the north of the city.
Since the Battle of Atlanta began, there has been little fighting in the north of the city, and the heart of the Southern Army has long been slack, and the battle line has moved south, and now the main force of the Southern Army is concentrated in the south of the city and the Jonesboro line, and the north of the city is empty.
Hood made the following adjustments to the deployment of Atlanta and the surrounding areas: the perimeter positions, including East Point and Jonesboro, left only the most basic defensive forces, and the rest were transferred into the city and concentrated to the north of the city.
Hood judged that the Northern Army's battle was desperate, and it must be a repetition of the political situation and being forced to do so. If this wave of attack of the Northern Army is blocked, the Northern Army's spirit will be greatly lost, and this Atlanta will be saved!
As soon as the Southern Army completed the adjustment, the Northern Army in the north of the city launched an attack.
Hood secretly shouted: It's coming! Well done!
At this time, there was also a faint sound of gunfire in the south.
This was expected by Hood: containment, feints.
After a few rounds, the defending troops in the north of the city had this feeling: the attacking northern army looked lively, but it was a little unproductive, like ...... Feint.
Hood, who received the report, was a little strange, what the hell did the North Yankee do?
He decided to go to the front line in the north to see for himself.
Just about to leave, to visit the Malay newspaper, angry and ruined: Jonesborough...... Lost!
Hood was taken aback: What?!
The Northern Army launched an extremely fierce attack on Jonesboro from both east and west, and it was incessant and endless.
At the same time, the Northern cavalry moved between Jonesboro and Atlanta, cutting off communication between the two places for a time.
A Northern army took the opportunity to make a detour north of Jonesboro, ignoring the attack from Atlanta behind it, blocking it from the north and attacking Jonesboro from the south.
Jonesboro was attacked on three sides, most of the original defense forces had been transferred, and the defender Hardy had less than 5,000 men left, unable to hold on, and was finally forced to abandon Jonesboro and withdraw south.
