African Entrepreneurship Record

In Maputo city.

"You were the one who betrayed us, why?" Davis said this almost through gritted teeth.

Traitors are the most hateful, especially this Portuguese traitor. If he was really defeated by East Africa, Davis would definitely be convinced, but if he was betrayed by a traitor or a traitor of the Portuguese, he would be too unwilling to do so, even if Davis will feel better because he is a traitor to his country.

But the Portuguese "traitor" named Owen in front of him felt a little embarrassed. He did not answer Davis' question directly but said: "Now that the war has started, everyone knows that the coalition forces are gone, so smart people naturally know how to choose. .”

"You..." Davis hadn't spoken yet.

Merk interrupted what he was about to say, "Don't hold people responsible at this time. It is a fact that Maputo City has fallen into our hands. It is better for General Davis to cooperate well. After all, you are the pillars of all countries." He will still return to serve in the country in the future. As for Mr. Owen turning from darkness to light, that also shows that you are not just in starting this war."

"Oh, it's just a winner and a loser! It's all in vain to say anything now." Davis had already accepted his fate.

However, when I saw Irving beside the old god, I felt very unhappy and said: "You'd better get rid of this white-eyed wolf. After all, a person who can betray the country can also betray his master again. I think such a person can be found anywhere." No place is welcome.”

Irving was not burdened by Davis' words. Instead, he looked like a clown. However, he hid it very well, except for an imperceptible light flashing in his eyes.

…

After a "cordial" exchange with Davis, Merk and other East African senior officials decided to imprison Davis first. This was a big fish, second only to Count Roberts and Governor Bougival.

After leaving the mansion, Merk asked with great interest: "Mr. Owen, what motivated you to make such an unusual move?"

Merkel definitely doesn't have a good impression of this leading party. Although Davis is suspected of sowing discord, what he said is also true. No one likes betrayal.

Owen said without hesitation: "Viscount Merk, what I did is not an unusual move, but a thorough consideration for the kingdom."

"Well! Could it be that you are still a patriot? Then why did you betray Portugal! This should not be of any benefit to you, right? And it is not in line with what you said about considering the kingdom." Merk asked.

Owen pushed his eyes and said: "Viscount Merk, do you think there is a possibility that I am not Portuguese, but East African!"

As soon as these words came out, the scene instantly became quiet! Everyone seemed to have heard the terrible news.

Looking at the stunned scene of everyone, Owen was very happy. He said to everyone: "I am actually a member of the Kingdom. Of course, I declare in advance that I am an intelligence officer of the Kingdom of Hechingen. I have been lurking in Portugal from the beginning. East Africans, of course, I need to get back in touch with my superiors before I can verify my identity, so I need your help to contact my superiors first, and someone will prove my identity later."

"Then why didn't you say anything before but revealed your identity now?" someone asked.

"After all, we were surrounded by Portuguese and British people at the time. This does not comply with our confidentiality regulations. At the same time, I also hope that you will not speak out about this matter casually. Everything must wait for the central government's decision."

"How did you get into the position of leader of the enemy group?" Merk asked curiously.

"This is actually a complete misunderstanding. I was originally performing my mission in Maputo, but two months ago, because the Portuguese were recruiting troops in the city, I was forcibly recruited into the army. With some skills, I was accidentally recruited by a High-ranking Portuguese officials took a fancy to him and were promoted to this position,” Owen explained.

The Portuguese do not have identity documents, especially in a place like the colony where good and bad people are mixed, so Owen, who speaks an authentic "Lisbon" accent, can easily live a comfortable life in Maputo with a false identity.

Originally, according to Owen's ideas and orders from his superiors, he had been collecting information in Maputo for a long time and passing it back to East Africa, but an accident occurred.

As the war progressed, the Portuguese began to indulge in meat and vegetables. In addition to black people, white people in Mozambique also began to be recruited into the army. Of course, in layman's terms, they were recruiting young men.

Later, Owen, a Portuguese peddler with some education, was also recruited into the army, which broke Owen's rhythm in Maputo. At the same time, due to the blockade of the war, Owen had no time to contact his superiors.

Therefore, Owen could only fish in troubled waters in the Portuguese army, and then unknowingly reached the "high position" of the regiment leader.

Of course, this is also related to the unfavorable war in Mozambique. With the lack of a large number of troops on the front line, the army later formed by the Portuguese basically selected generals from among the dwarfs. Excellent talents with "all-round civil and military talents" like Owen unexpectedly became a The new leader of the group.

Of course, when you reach the position of regiment leader, you will naturally be watched by people, such as Owen's group of "Portuguese" brothers. Therefore, the night before the uprising in Maputo City, Owen was very nervous and was afraid that the Portuguese soldiers would kill him. report.

However, what Irving did not expect was that his actions were not opposed and he successfully gained the "support" of the soldiers below.

Of course, the support was a bit exaggerated, but no one opposed it. The Portuguese soldiers were already very war-weary, and with the instigation of Owen, the spy chief, everyone "surrendered" to the enemy with peace of mind.

It's just that even the Portuguese didn't expect that Owen was actually a lone wolf among East African intelligence agents who infiltrated the Portuguese army.

However, this can be regarded as deserved. If it were not for the behavior of the Portuguese high-level "catching young men", perhaps Irving would still be staying in some unknown corner of Maputo.

Regarding Owen's experience, many officers of the East African Defense Force felt incredible that the plot in this novel has actually come into reality and that everyone has encountered it.

"Captain Owen, although your explanation is very reasonable, just in case, we have to send someone to keep an eye on you before we determine your true identity," Merk said.

Irving: "Of course, no problem, but before that you'd better let me prove my identity first. I have a contact person. I don't know if he is still in Maputo."

After all, after Portugal's tyranny, many innocent Portuguese people were involved in the war. In all likelihood, Owen's contacts were also forcibly recruited into the army. After all, the background of the fake identity was not strong enough, and the Portuguese also chose who they wanted, like this The "Portuguese" people with no background were arrested directly in the military camp and sent directly to the battlefield the next day, so it is a mystery whether Owen's contact person is still alive.

"What if your contact person loses contact?"

Owen said: "Then I can only go back to Dar es Salaam and contact my superiors directly. I think you should have heard about the East African Defense and Security Agency. I am one of them. Of course, I can only say so much. "

After hearing the words "National Defense Security Agency", most of everyone's suspicions about Irving have gone away. This agency is quite secretive and cannot be accessed by ordinary people. Of course, the top military officials are still relatively aware of it.

The military also has a military intelligence department, so they have some understanding of this brother department, but their business scope is different. I didn't expect that the National Defense and Security Bureau can now sneak into the Portuguese army and become a high-ranking officer. This is outrageous.
