Chapter 63 Chapter 62

Skorzeny went into town again, and came again to Charles Howey's office.Mr. Minister welcomed him at the door with a firm and solemn handshake. "I'm glad you took the sensible course," Howie said. "I just hope this bloodshed doesn't continue, Minister." Howie ushered him into the office.Ryan was sitting across from Howie's desk, with his back to the door, waiting for them.Ryan didn't turn his head or turn when Skorzeny entered. Howie sat down behind his desk.Skorzeny sat next to Ryan. The minister put an envelope on the table in front of Skorzeny.Skorzeny picked up the envelope and pulled out a piece of paper inside.

At dawn two days from today, you must pay us the agreed sum.Prepare a small motor boat to send the money over, and the boat is parked at the following coordinates: "Where is this?" Skorzeny asked. "About five miles down the east coast," Howie said. "South of Dublin." The motorized vessel was allowed to carry two people: Asif Hussain, the delivery man, and the man who drove the boat.They had to put a light forward and aft, and put their hands on their heads, and wait in the harbor where we could see them. If they did what they were told, no harm would be done, otherwise their lives would be lost.They should know the dangers of what they do.If they do what they are told, they will be paid a share of the goods they deliver.

If we find other people on board, well, everyone on board is dead. We will approach the ship from the west.The cargo on the ship will be transferred to our ship.We will arrange other ships in the area.If someone tries to attack our ships, the consequences will be dire. At three o'clock this afternoon, Lieutenant Ryan had to be at the telephone booth in the foyer of the Royal Hibernian, waiting for specific details about the delivery. Skorzeny folded the paper and put it back in the envelope. "Lieutenant Ryan, you tell them this, we'll do everything we ask, with one exception - we've already discussed that: you're the delivery man, not Mr. Hussein."

"What if they don't want me to deliver?" "Then they won't get the money. Your mission is to observe everything, for example, how many people there are, what they look like, their accent, what kind of boat it is, the name of the boat, and whether there are any marks on it." "What's this for?" Howie asked. "Once the gold is handed over, the matter is over. I tell you clearly, you are not allowed to find out what happened to them." "Of course I won't, Minister. I'm just a little curious to know who is robbing me of my money. You can understand that."

Howie stared at Skorzeny for a long time, then raised a finger and said: "If you cross this line, I will kick you out of the country, pack up and go back to Spain. " Skorzeny smiled and nodded in obedience. "Minister, you don't have to worry about this." Howie was still staring at him, his face full of suspicion.After a while, his attention shifted to Ryan. "Lieutenant Ryan, are you satisfied with this arrangement?" Ryan was looking out the window, lost in his own world. "Ok?" "Satisfied, Mr. Minister," Ryan said.
