Chapter 275: Round 2

The sky is getting dark, and the winter in Paris is very cold, especially in the moments before dark, when the little light and temperature are instantly taken away, leaving only endless darkness and cold.

The French Defense Intelligence Service is also known as the Second Bureau of the French General Staff. Many people simply call it the "Second Bureau" or "Second Bureau".

Captain Gabri, a member of the counterintelligence team of the Military Intelligence Department, was looking at the telegram in his hand in a daze under the desk lamp.

The telegram was sent by Captain Watson of the British MI6. He is the head of MI6 in France. Coincidentally, Captain Gabri was his classmate when he was training in the UK.

Perhaps because of this relationship, the two cooperated very closely. While sharing intelligence, they also exchanged counterintelligence knowledge and experience.

Captain Watson complained in the telegram: "This battle is a failure, a complete failure. It is unbelievable that the British Royal Navy has wasted the opportunity that the Shire fought for us with such low efficiency!"

This is not news. Captain Gabri knew the outcome of the Dardanelles offensive immediately.

What interests him is the latter sentence: "A waste of the opportunity that the Shire has won for us."

What opportunity?

How did Charles get it?

Could it be that Shire is cooperating with MI6?

Charles is French. The British know what he did, but the Second Bureau of the French Intelligence Organization does not know. This is a shame for the Second Bureau!

Thinking further, Captain Gabri believed that this was probably related to spies.

Before, Captain Gabri had always wondered why the Allies attacked the Dardanelles for 28 days, but did not see German reinforcements to the Ottoman Empire until the end.

This is not the efficiency of the Germans, especially the Germans who have always attached great importance to the Ottoman Empire and have been wooing it.

That's... Ciel's reason!

Captain Gabri was keenly aware of the combat plan that Charles was likely to be involved in, and somehow deceived the Germans.

There seems to be only one way to convince the Germans: to use German spies in turn.

Thinking of this, Captain Gabriel stood up from his chair with a loud sound and said to his assistant Benoit: "Go to the City Defense Headquarters!"

"City Defense Headquarters?" Benoit followed from behind, his tone slightly nervous: "Captain, if we want to go there to check someone, do we need to write an application or ask Major Doula..."

"No, we are just looking for an acquaintance." Captain Gabri explained while putting on his military cap: "It's not official business."

Captain Gabri thought this might be an opportunity to do something good. He might catch a big fish!

Benoit felt relieved after hearing this. The people in the second bureau were not so popular, and they went to the city defense headquarters.

However, when they showed their documents and entered the city defense headquarters, Benoit realized that he was wrong.

Captain Gabri walked up to Charles, who was about to get off work, saluted, and extended his hand to introduce himself: "Hello, Colonel. My name is Gabri, and I am from the Counterintelligence Group of the Second Bureau."

Benoit turned pale with fright.

Captain Gabri was actually looking for Charles, and he even went to the city defense headquarters to look for someone. He was absolutely crazy!

Sure enough, the staff officers who were about to disperse stopped one after another, and Lieutenant Colonel Fernand, who had already gone downstairs, was called back.

They all surrounded Captain Gabri and Benoit with evil expressions on their faces.

…

Gallieni had already returned to the lounge, got dressed and was lying on the bed waiting for the orderly to bring dinner. Suddenly, a signal soldier ran in and reported: "General, people from the second bureau, come find Charles!"

Gallieni was stunned, stood up quickly, and quickly walked out of the lounge without even putting on his hat.

Gallieni was so anxious not to protect Charles, but to protect those ignorant people in the Second Bureau. They actually dared to break into the city defense headquarters to catch spies, and the target was Charles.

They would be beaten up and thrown out by the staff of the headquarters, and the Parisian citizens along the street would continue to do so if they knew about it.

Sure enough, when Gallieni walked to the combat headquarters, Lieutenant Colonel Fernand had already grabbed the opponent by the collar and said fiercely in a provocative tone: "This is not the place for you, Captain, there are too many things here that are not suitable for you." You know the military secrets, and I have reason to believe that you are here to spy on intelligence..."

"Stop!" Gallieni shouted, walking forward along the path that everyone left.

"Sorry, General." Captain Gabri explained quickly: "I just want to ask Charles a few words..."

Gallieni interrupted Captain Gabri: "You know what the procedure is."

Captain Gabri replied: "No, no, there is no need to follow procedures. I..."

At this time, Major Doura rushed in furiously. He shouted to Galieni from a distance: "General, this is a misunderstanding. Gabri is an admirer of Charles. He just wants to talk to Charles about personal issues! "

Gallieni raised his eyebrows. He recognized this Major Doula, the head of the counterintelligence team of the Second Bureau. His presence here must be something big, not what he said.

Charles didn't speak during the whole process. He just smiled softly. It felt a little strange. Did he only react now in the second round? Isn't it too late?

…

Major Doula and Gabri were sitting in the back seat of the car returning to the Intelligence Bureau. He had a gloomy face and said nothing the whole way.

In the end, it was Gabri who spoke first: "Major, Charles must know something..."

"You idiot!" Major Dura interrupted Gabriel coldly: "Since you can guess that it was a trap set by Charles for the Germans, but you didn't realize what you were doing? What if this trap is still in progress? What do you think the result will be?"

Gabriel was stunned and suddenly understood: If this matter is related to military secrets, this military secret may even affect the outcome of the Dardanelles Strait War. His rash action will not only fail to catch the big fish, but will also expose the trap set by Charles and the British for the Germans.

Thinking of this, Captain Gabriel couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

This is not just a matter of ruining the future, even the entire second trap may be implicated.

Major Dura gritted his teeth in hatred, he almost pulled out the revolver at his waist and shot this guy who was thinking about making meritorious deeds.

Charles is also something you, a small captain, can touch?

Major Dura had guessed a little clue a long time ago, but he never dared to act rashly. Unexpectedly, this ignorant captain rushed in rashly.

Although Charles is only a colonel, a national-level battle like the Battle of the Dardanelles could be his plan. You actually want to talk to him!

If he hadn't happened to see the telegram and guessed that Gabriel would find this, it would probably have made a big mistake...

No, it might have already made a big mistake.

If there were German spies in the city defense headquarters or nearby, Gabriel's actions today would definitely make the Germans suspicious.

Now we can only hope that this secret is a thing of the past.

Otherwise, the entire second bureau may be withdrawn!
