Chapter 162 Happy to Jump Up
"woooooooo~~"
Air-raid sirens sounded constantly.
After a while, the humming of the aircraft group came from the sky,
After a few minutes, I saw the city of Palermo flashing in the distance, followed by a muffled sound.
The Allies were bombing Palermo again.
January 1943,
The United States and Britain held a meeting in Casablanca to formulate a new battle plan. After the war in North Africa was over, the Allies would land in Sicily. The purpose is to occupy the island to ensure the smooth flow of the Allied countries' Mediterranean routes, attract the German troops from the Soviet Union and Germany to the west, and force Italy to surrender.
The campaign was carried out by the Allied Forces in North Africa. The commander-in-chief was Admiral Eisenhower, the deputy commander and army commander was Admiral Alexander, commander of the 15th Allied Army Group, the naval commander was Admiral Cunningham, and the air force commander was Ted Air Force Admiral.
Although the German army is still struggling in North Africa, it has already revealed its failure, and the Allied forces have begun to plan later.
During this time, Jiang Hao kept the organization more low-key. Except for the cigarette factory business and maintaining the black market, all other activities were stopped.
Suddenly, Luka found Jiang Hao. In Jiang Hao's study, Luka said cautiously, "Boss, the Yankees have found me."
Jiang Hao's expression moved.
"go on."
"Actually, people from the US intelligence agency found Adi, and then found me through Adi. They sent people to Sicily to see me, hoping we could help them and provide them with information." Luca said.
"It was the Americans who asked you to ask me."
"No, they only know that we have an organization. I am an important member of the organization. They may not know of your existence, maybe just some vague information." Luca said.
Jiang Hao closed his eyes, pondered for a while, and said, "Luca, tell them, send a high-ranking person to see me."
"Boss, do you want to meet them in person?" Luca said slightly surprised.
"This is an opportunity for us, a very good opportunity, we must seize it." Jiang Hao said.
One night later, at a riverside, Jiang Hao was standing by the river wearing a coat, watching the river flowing quietly under the moonlight. Not long after, a car came from a distance and stopped 100 meters away from Jiang Hao. .
Luca and several members of the organization got out of the car, and came over with a white man who was about forty years old. After seeing Jiang Hao, he said, "My name is Jensen, nice to meet you, Renato Bernano. gentlemen."
Jason, just like Wang Qiang and Li Ming in China, doesn't know if the other party's name is his real name or not. Jiang Hao didn't bother about it.
"Hello Mr. Jensen, Luca told me your thoughts, no problem, I'm willing to help you." Jiang Hao said straight to the point.
Jason was a little surprised. He originally thought that he would have to use his eloquence to convince this deeply hidden Sicilian boss, but he did not expect the other party to agree directly.
"That's great," Jensen said happily.
"Of course, we also have conditions." Jiang Hao said again.
"You can put forward any conditions." Compared with war, everything else is negotiable.
"After you seize Sicily, I want the administrative power of the entire Sicily. Also, I will develop our business. When it comes to the United States, I hope to get the permission of the American government." Jiang Haodao.
Jensen hesitated for a moment, "I can't answer you now, because I don't have that right, and I need to ask the upper management for instructions. Of course, I believe everything must be made concessions for the sake of the war, and I think the higher management will agree."
"That's very good. I wish us a happy cooperation. By the way, in order to show my sincerity, I have a gift for you here. It is a gift." Jiang Hao said, comparing the distribution of the German troops collected by Basali before and The cigarette delivery quantity list is handed over to the other party.
Luca sent the other party away.
Jensen secretly left Sicily and opened the document on the boat back home. After reading it, he felt a burst of ecstasy. If nothing else, the value of this information is immeasurable. It can be said that he completely grasped the German troops stationed in Sicily details.
By the number of cigarettes delivered, you can analyze how many people there are.
This information is too valuable. It seems that Mr. Bernano is really willing to cooperate with them. The previous investigation said that he was from a Mafia family and had a deep hatred with Mussolini, which should be true.
After returning to the station, Jensen sent the information to the high-level executives, and at the same time said Jiang Hao's request, the general his Excellency agreed immediately.
A few days later, Jensen returned to Sicily again and met Jiang Hao, "Admiral Eisenhower personally agreed to your request. The general said that if there is a chance, he would like to see you in person, of course, after the victory of the war."
"Well, at that time, I am very willing to visit Your Excellency General." Jiang Hao said.
"The Joint Chiefs of Staff affirmed your value. If you do business in the United States, you will get government support and some help. The Navy hopes to get photos and information of every port and every waterway in Sicily."
"As for the army, I hope to get your help when attacking the island. It would be best if someone who is familiar with the road conditions leads the way."
"Of course, I know that these requirements are a bit difficult. The high-level only wants you to do your best." Jensen said.
Jiang Hao smiled lightly,
Spreading out a map of Sicily, he pointed to the map and said, "Sicily has 6 cities, 32 towns, and 119 villages. The black market transactions in Sicily are all in my hands, and my people are everywhere."
What Jensen heard was a surprise, and then he felt ecstasy, mastering the black market business in the entire Sicily, that is to say, who has the most detailed situation in the entire Sicily, is there anything more important than such a collaborator.
It seems that the energy of this man was underestimated before.
"That's great," Jensen said happily.
Jiang Hao didn't look at Jensen, and continued: "And many Italian troops, we have trading partners and collaborators, through them, we can know some of the internal situation of the army, and even instigate."
Jensen's eyes widened, his breathing a little short.
Jiang Hao's artillery continued, "We also have business dealings with the Italian Navy. In the past tobacco smuggling, the Navy was escorting us. If you want to know the situation of the Navy, I can also provide you with some."
Jason was so happy that he almost jumped up.
