Nevertheless, the Captain communicated us that «in some place of the Indian Ocean»,
which coordinates would be transmitted by radio, we would transship to a battleship. Thus
occurred at a few miles from Sumatra: a disconcerted Admiral picked us up in his cruise and he
direct course to Germany. The ship was going to Argentina with other two, realizing a largely
planed manoeuvre. At the height of the City of El Cabo, he received the order to deviate
towards the Indian Ocean to pick up five passengers. His new mission was qualified of
«maximum security» and, since the moment in which the mysterious personages boarded, he
had to transmit in a supersecret key and avoid every contact with other ships or terrestrial
stations. No one had to be able to localize the cruise because, on the contrary, existed the
possibility that they could «enter in operations». –Who would attack us in times of peace? –
mumbled the Admiral–. «This must be another game of Major State, a probationary secret
manoeuvre for the Kriegmarine».
The Admiral not imagined that if the synarchic forces would have known the location of
his ship, and the identity of its occupants, they would have sunk it right there.
Chapter XXXIX
Twenty days after our departure from Shanghai, we disembarked in Hamburg. There an
officer of the exterior S.D. was waiting for usat the commanding a platoon; his orders: guide
Karl von Grossen, Oskar Feil, and Srivirya and Bangi, in two cars towards Berlin. I had move
aside from the group and take a third car towards the local airport, where a plane would
transport me likewise to Berlin.
We were going to separate each other for first time in many months and the experience
resulted painful. We all had lost Comrades and ran mortal dangers together; the lived
adventures brothered us. Before abandon them, von Grossen wanted to talk me alone.
–I knew it! –He told me with worried tone–.Kurt von Sübermann: you were the first key
of the Operation First Key! And the Thulegesellschaft will be only occupied of you. We, from
now on, will remain incommunicated, isolated from the rest of the to avoid us to speak. We
know a lot, Kurt, perhaps more than what is convenient for the Initiates of the Black Order
that someone knows! I feel that we may not see each other again –He concluded mournfully.
