Volume 2: My Country One Thousand Seventy-Five.  traitor or hero

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    A wide net has been drawn across London.

    Nash is very sure that no one who betrays the country can escape from this big net. He will use his duty and loyalty to tell everyone what a true patriot is.

    He likes this name, Patriot, as full of emotion as he loves his wife.  He even imagined that one day he would die under the gunpoint of the enemy, and then write these words on his tombstone:

    "Patriot Nash - he is asleep, but his eyes are open!"

    What could be more proud of than this?

    On the streets of London, people are coming and going. No one knows when the enemy's plane will appear overhead, but it doesn't matter. The war will continue, and so will life.

    Time is passing slowly.

    That extremely familiar car appeared again. It was the car of Mr. Yess, the British Minister of Finance.  It was the same two bodyguards who came out first, with the same nervous expressions, and then the same Yeses got out of the car and walked into the cafe.

    At the same spot as yesterday, Paris was already waiting there.

    "I'm glad you showed up on time." Paris stood up to express his welcome.

    "The British always like meticulous execution time." Yes sat down with the other party, and then took out a document from the briefcase he carried: "This is the proof you want, Mr. Paris.  "

    "Ah, I'm so grateful." Paris took the certificate and looked at it carefully, then took out a check from his pocket: "Ten million pounds, Mr. Minister of Finance, I think this is really a pleasant cooperation.  "

    ¡°It¡¯s me, and I think this is a really pleasant collaboration.¡±

    Yes took the check.  But before he could check the check carefully, a large team of agents suddenly rushed in. Looking towards the door, the two bodyguards had been secretly subdued.

    When he saw National Police Chief Nash appear, Yes was a little unhappy: "Mr. Nash, what are you doing here? What do you mean by bringing these agents?"

    "Mr. Minister of Finance, I'm very sorry if it has caused you any trouble." Nash leaned forward slightly, then straightened his face: "I have been ordered to arrest you, Mr. Minister of Finance!"

    "What, you were ordered to arrest me?" Yes seemed to have caught the funniest joke: "Are you crazy? On what charge did you arrest me? Is it just that I came here to drink a cup of coffee?"

    Nash didn't pay any attention to his so-called joke: "Mr. Secretary of the Treasury, this is an order signed by President Fenton. Please come to my office. I have something to ask you. Ah, and you, Pa  Mr. Reese, please don't touch anything here or I'm not sure if my men will shoot!"

    Paris shrugged indifferently and stood up.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  And Yes was also not afraid at all.  He really couldn't think of any reason for Nash to arrest himself.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    "Mrs. Yes, and all of you, please stay here and don't go out." At the same time, at the home of Minister Yes, his wife and family were also controlled by agents.

    Mrs. Yes was a little surprised. She was packing her luggage at home with her children. Her husband had told her yesterday.  They will be sent to the United States.

    From her husband¡¯s mouth, Mrs. Yes learned that the war situation was very bad. The enemy would bomb London at any time. Under the current circumstances, there was no place safer than the United States.

    But before they could pack their luggage, these agents rushed in.  Despite Mrs. Yes's serious protests, it was to no avail.

    Their butler, Mr. Pendona, seemed much calmer. He comforted Mrs. Yes and solemnly warned these uninvited guests that this was the home of the Minister of Finance, and any damage to property would be complained.

    "Mr. Butler, we will try our best not to damage anything here" The captain leading the team said with a sarcastic tone: "But if there is any loss, please come with us.  The Minister of Finance said: We are also doing things under the orders of the government.¡±

    Poor Mrs. Yes didn¡¯t know what to do except asking the housekeeper Pendona to keep calling her husband¡¯s office.  But what is unexpected is that even the people in the office don¡¯t know where the Finance Minister is.

    What happened?  What happened?  But no one could answer Mrs. Yes, and the wolf-like agentsHas rushed into every room of theirs.

    Mrs. Yes was on the verge of crying. Even their children rarely entered the bedroom of she and her husband.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  But now it was turned into a mess by this group of strangers.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    "Let's discuss your schedule today, Mr. Finance Minister." In his office, Nash said: "Why would you go to such a small coffee shop when you are so busy with official work?"

    Yes gave him a cold look: "Does a finance minister have to report his day's work schedule to you, the national police chief?"

    "Of course not, and I have no interest in interfering with your private life." Nash smiled: "But if it is related to the issue of betraying national interests, I have to intervene."

    National interest?  Yes almost thought he heard wrong. What does going to the cafe have to do with the national interest?

    Nash brought a document to Yes: "Mr. Minister of Finance, please look at it carefully. Is this what you wrote and your signature?"

    Yes, with only a brief glance, he recognized that this was the certificate he had written to Paris.  He nodded and said, "Yes, I wrote this. Is there anything wrong with that?"

    "Since you can admit that this is what you wrote, there is no problem." Nash asked someone to take the document back: "Let's take a look at what is written on it I  I will ensure that the treasury will not be diverted by the Fenton government after the Axis forces occupy London. I think that according to the current financial situation of the Fenton government.  There is no way to continue the war. The war will end with our great victory.

    "No, wait!" Yes shouted loudly: "I didn't write this. Damn it, show it to me again, I didn't write this at all!"

    Nash glanced at him coldly: "Mr. Finance Minister, just a minute ago I specially asked someone to show this thing to you with your own eyes. Everyone here can prove what you just said. Mr. Recorder.  Did you record every word of what Mr. Finance Minister said?"

    "Yes, I have faithfully recorded it."

    "That's great, otherwise I will be misunderstood and wrongly accused you" Nash continued to read the contents of the document in his still cold voice: "Ten million from Mr. Paris  We have received it, and it will play a big role in completely overturning the Fenton government. £®  Friend, Darrit A. Yes.¡±

    He put the document aside: "We did find a check for ten million pounds at the scene. God, I have never seen that much money in my life. I was getting the salary I should be getting. But I  I have a clear conscience because I know every pound of mine is clean, but what about you, Mr. Finance Minister?¡±

    Yess found himself facing a huge crisis. He could not imagine why the certification document he signed turned into a letter to the enemy.  He was sure that the document had been written yesterday and that no one had touched it.  Ah, maybe there is one.  That was his butler, Mr. Pendona.

    But Pendona has followed him loyally for twenty years, how could he betray him?

    ¡°I ask to have a phone call with Mr. President.¡± A confused Yes said: ¡°I must tell Mr. President that I am involved in a terrible conspiracy!¡±

    This guy is still stubborn!

    "I'm afraid you won't be able to speak to Mr. President for the time being" Nash sneered: "What I can tell you is that Mr. President has given me full authority to investigate this matter. Now let us discuss it, you  How did you collude with our enemies, and how much national interests did you betray?"

    "No, I have never betrayed any national interests!" Yes shouted angrily: "I have always served my motherland loyally!"

    The phone on the desk rang. Nash picked up the phone and listened for a while. When he put the phone down, he had a satisfied smile on his face.

    "Look, Mr. Finance Minister, although I am very unhappy, I still have to tell you some news that is not particularly good for you." Nash's tone suddenly became stern when he said this: "In your home we  A large number of letters have been found, most of which are written to you by our enemies., do you have any explanation for this?  "

    Yes, besides shaking his head, he didn't know what to say.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    "Ah, I remembered it." Nash suddenly said: "Do you think Pendona?"

    "Of course, that's my butler." Yes, who was in confusion, didn't know why the other party asked this question: "He has followed me loyally for twenty years. Yes. For twenty years, he can prove that I  He is innocent, ah, you can call him immediately, there is no one more upright than him!"

    "Really?" Nash's expression at this moment was as if he was watching a prey fall into a trap designed by himself: "But your loyal butler has decided to testify against you. He told us that you always  You are writing a letter and will send it by diplomatic mail the next morning. Once, while cleaning your room, Pendona accidentally saw a letter written by you. The content surprised him.  You are betraying your country!"

    "Lies, lies!" Yes jumped up suddenly: "This is simply a lie. Pendona is talking. Yes, Pendona is telling shameless lies!"

    "But you just said that no one is more upright than him" Nash shook his head: "You initially denied that the document you personally admitted was written by you, and now you are denying what you just said.  Which of your words should I believe?"

    Yes, he sat down again in despair.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    "I suggest you reconsider what you should say." Nash said in his cold tone again: "My patience is very limited. I won't waste too much time on you. I hope I can do it next time."  I can get what I want when I walk into this office.¡±

    Then he left the office without even looking at it.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®

    at this time.  In the interrogation room next door, Paris was yawning boredly. It wasn't until Nash walked in that he said lazily: "I don't know what I violated, and I was brought here inexplicably. I am an American citizen.  , I hope that my legal rights and interests in the UK can be guaranteed.¡±

    "Let's get straight to the point, Mr. Paris." Nash's face darkened: "I know who you are, and you also know why you were brought here. So, do you have any valuable information to tell me?  ?"

    "I'm just an ordinary businessman" Paris still said in his lazy voice: "I came to the United States to do some business, and was entrusted by some people to transfer a 10 million pound note.  Bring the check to Mr. Yes, ah. It is deposited in Wittgenstein Bank. Sir, Wittgenstein Bank is the safest bank with the highest return rate in the world. If you want to save money, I strongly recommend you.  Deposit money into Wittgenstein Bank£®

    Nash couldn¡¯t laugh or cry.  He didn't expect that Paris would actually drum up business for his bank under such circumstances.

    Paris flexed his muscles: "Of course, in addition to this check, my client also asked me to bring a document back. As an intermediary, I will not ask what kind of document it is. If it violates the British  I'm very sorry, you can punish me accordingly according to the laws of your country!"

    "You know we can't do anything to you, Mr. Paris." Nash suppressed his anger: "But as an American citizen, this is also a crime. We can hand you over to the FBI or the Central Government.  Intelligence Bureau!¡±

    "Why not, sir?" Paris didn't care at all: "I think there I might be able to prove how innocent I am."

    If possible, Nash would arrest him now, but he had to resist his impulse: "Mr. Paris, in the history of the American Revolutionary War, there was a very famous mission: Arnold, have you heard of this man?  ?"

    "Of course, Mr. Nash, I think probably every American has heard of this name." Paris said with a relaxed expression: "In 1780, General Benedict Arnold, the hero in the early days of the Revolutionary War, became increasingly concerned about the progress of the war.  Disappointed and dissatisfied with the Patriots' actions, Arnold soon offered to sell the West Point fort in his hands for 20,000 pounds. If the British army gained the fort, Washington would not only lose control of the Hudson River.  On September 21, 1780, Arnold provided intelligence to British Major Andre, but he encountered a Continental Army patrol on his way back and the information was discovered.  The commander of the Continental Army did not believe that Arnold would rebel, so he sent someone to West Point to ask for an explanation. Arnold and his wife abandoned the camp overnight and fled.He obtained the rank of brigadier general in the army and died in poverty twenty years later. His name became synonymous with traitor in the United States.  £®  £®  £®  £®  £®  "

    He glanced at Nash: "I can give you a more detailed explanation. Arnold was a Connecticut businessman. He was appointed as a militia captain by the Connecticut Congress after the Battle of Lexington in 1775. He commanded the attack on Canada and participated in the Saratoga.  He was promoted to the highest rank of major general in the Continental Army at the time. On the monument at the Saratoga Battlefield Historic Park, the statues of Generals Gates, Schuyler and Morgan are engraved on three sides. The fourth side is empty;  A monument at West Point bears the names of all American generals who participated in the Revolutionary War, but Arnold's name does not appear, but is called 'Major General.'

    "Look, you are very familiar with American history." Nash said slowly: "An American traitor, unfortunately he did not end well. I sincerely hope you will not follow in his footsteps."

    "A traitor to the Americans, but a hero to the British." Paris unexpectedly said: "I think it is the British who should be blamed. They obtained very valuable intelligence from Arnold, but Arnold  Eventually died in poverty, what do you think?¡±

    Nash doesn¡¯t know what he should say.  Well, he must admit that the guy in front of him is very eloquent, and keeping him has a very important use. No matter what kind of resentment he has, he must endure it.

    He tried his best to calm down: "Mr. Paris, since you don't want to say anything, you can leave now, but I don't want to meet you here again for the second time."

    "I also don't want to meet you again." Paris stood up and said: "Sir, I think I should say the last word. The definition of traitor or hero sometimes depends on how you look at it.  Look at him!"

    "A traitor or a hero, sometimes it depends on how you look at him!"

    This sentence may have some truth to it, at least for the UK now!
