Na admir\u00e1l\u016fv pokyn se brit\u0161t\u00ed agenti, dohl\u00ed\u017eej\u00edc\u00ed v newyorsk\u00e9m p\u0159\u00edstavu na odbavov\u00e1n\u00ed transport\u016f do Anglie, ji\u017e n\u011bjakou dobu ohl\u00ed\u017eeli po Rintelenovi a Hall mu dokonce pov\u011bsil na paty sv\u00e9ho bl\u00edzk\u00e9ho spolupracovn\u00edka admir\u00e1la Herschela. I kdy\u017e \u017e\u00e1dn\u00fd z pron\u00e1sledovatel\u016f Rintelena nep\u0159istihl p\u0159i \u010dinu, o d\u016fvodn\u00e1 podez\u0159en\u00ed nem\u011bli nouzi. A tak\u00e9 jim neu\u0161lo, kdy\u017e se agent Rintelen nalodil jako \u0161v\u00fdcarsk\u00fd obchodn\u00edk E. V. Gach\u00e9 na holandsk\u00fd parn\u00edk \u201eNoordam“.<\/em><\/p>\n

To byla chv\u00edle, kdy se admir\u00e1l Hall rozhodl zakro\u010dit.<\/p>\n

U anglick\u00fdch b\u0159eh\u016f zastavila parn\u00edk \u201eNoordam“ britsk\u00e1 v\u00e1le\u010dn\u00e1 lo\u010f a \u0160v\u00fdcar Gach\u00e9<\/em> musel cht\u011b necht\u011b vz\u00edt zavd\u011bk jej\u00edm pohostinstv\u00edm. A\u010dkoli vehementn\u011b protestoval, dovezli ho zdvo\u0159il\u00ed, nicm\u00e9n\u011b nesmlouvav\u00ed d\u016fstojn\u00edci a\u017e do pracovny sira Basila Thomsona, \u0161\u00e9fa \u201eSpecial Branche<\/em>„, zvl\u00e1\u0161tn\u00edho proti\u0161pion\u00e1\u017en\u00edho odd\u011blen\u00ed Scotland Yardu v Lond\u00fdn\u011b. Krom\u011b sira Basila tam \u010dekali na neobvykl\u00e9ho hosta je\u0161t\u011b dva admir\u00e1lov\u00e9 – Hall a Herschel.<\/p>\n

\u201eZn\u00e1te jist\u00e9ho kapit\u00e1na Rintelena?“<\/em> obr\u00e1til se admir\u00e1l Hall na p\u0159\u00edchoz\u00edho.<\/p>\n

\u201eNejsem povinen v\u00e1m odpov\u00eddat!“<\/em><\/p>\n

Sir Basil Thomson pronesl jaksi vy\u010d\u00edtav\u011b: \u201eVy asi nev\u00edte, kde jste…“<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201eNa tom nez\u00e1le\u017e\u00ed,“ <\/em>je\u017eil se zadr\u017een\u00fd \u0160v\u00fdcar, \u201ea\u0165 jsem kdekoli, dostali jste m\u011b sem n\u00e1sil\u00edm. Nem\u00e1m tu co d\u011blat a nebudu v\u00e1m na nic odpov\u00eddat, dokud si nepromluv\u00edm se \u0161v\u00fdcarsk\u00fdm vyslancem. Nebo m\u011b snad chcete obvinit z n\u011bjak\u00e9ho zlo\u010dinu?“<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201eJste N\u011bmec,“<\/em> podotkl sir Thomson, \u201ea m\u011bl byste n\u00e1m tedy vysv\u011btlit, co pohled\u00e1v\u00e1te na anglick\u00e9 p\u016fd\u011b.“<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201eNep\u0159i\u0161el jsem z vlastn\u00ed v\u016fle. To vy jste poru\u0161ili z\u00e1kony, kdy\u017e jste m\u011b sem p\u0159ivl\u00e9kli. Co nejost\u0159eji proti tomu protestuji a \u017e\u00e1d\u00e1m, abyste mi umo\u017enili setk\u00e1n\u00ed se \u0161v\u00fdcarsk\u00fdm vyslancem…“<\/em><\/p>\n

Rintelen vsadil v\u0161echno na jednu kartu, na zap\u00edr\u00e1n\u00ed.<\/p>\n

Ale Hall a jeho kolegov\u00e9 nebyli dne\u0161n\u00ed. Nechali domn\u011bl\u00e9ho \u0160v\u00fdcara s doprovodem odej\u00edt a okam\u017eit\u011b odeslali do Bernu nal\u00e9havou \u017e\u00e1dost britsk\u00e9mu zastupitelsk\u00e9mu \u00fa\u0159adu, aby zjistil, existuje-li v\u016fbec \u0161v\u00fdcarsk\u00fd ob\u010dan jm\u00e9nem E. V. Gach\u00e9, m\u00e1-li pas toho a toho \u010d\u00edsla a zdr\u017euje-li se zrovna v cizin\u011b.<\/p>\n

Kdy\u017e se o tom Rintelen od sv\u00fdch pr\u016fvodc\u016f pozd\u011b ve\u010der dov\u011bd\u011bl, po\u017e\u00e1dal, aby ho znovu zavedli k admir\u00e1lu Hallovi.<\/p>\n

\u201eVzd\u00e1v\u00e1m se, pane!“<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201eCo to m\u00e1 znamenat?“ <\/em>tv\u00e1\u0159il se Hall nech\u00e1pav\u011b.<\/p>\n

\u201ePr\u00e1v\u011b jsme ve va\u0161\u00ed v\u011bci telegrafovali do Bernu\u2026\u201c <\/em><\/p>\n

\u201eProto jsem tady. M\u016f\u017eete si to odpustit.\u201c <\/em><\/p>\n

\u201ePro\u010d?“<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201eKapit\u00e1n Rintelen se hl\u00e1s\u00ed jako v\u00e1le\u010dn\u00fd zajatec, pane!“<\/em><\/p>\n

Admir\u00e1lov\u00e9 Hall a Herschel se usm\u00e1li a nab\u00eddli sv\u00e9mu zajatci \u017eidli. A potom do\u0161lo k rozhovoru, na kter\u00fd Rintelen v p\u0159\u00ed\u0161t\u00edch l\u00e9tech, str\u00e1ven\u00fdch v americk\u00e9m v\u011bzen\u00ed, nejednou vzpom\u00ednal.<\/p>\n

Admir\u00e1l Herschel p\u0159inesl l\u00e1hev a t\u0159i skleni\u010dky. \u201eZapijme to p\u0159ekvapen\u00ed. Vy p\u0159ece m\u00e1te r\u00e1d koktejly, \u017ee ano?“<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201eJak to v\u00edte?“<\/em> divil se kapit\u00e1n.<\/p>\n

\u201eV\u00edm to z New Yorku,“ <\/em>podotkl Herschel tajupln\u011b a nalil. \u201eAle na tenhle koktejl jste nemuset tak dlouho \u010dekat! Byli jsme tu na v\u00e1s p\u0159ipraveni u\u017e p\u0159ed \u010dty\u0159mi t\u00fddny. Pro\u010d jste vlastn\u011b neopustil New York hned pot\u00e9, co jste dostal ten telegram?\u201c<\/em><\/p>\n

Rintelenovi se ud\u011blaly m\u017eitky p\u0159ed o\u010dima.<\/p>\n

\u201ePromi\u0148te, pane, ale j\u00e1 v\u00e1m nerozum\u00edm…“ <\/em>koktal.<\/p>\n

\u201eMil\u00fd kapit\u00e1ne,\u201c <\/em>ujal se slova admir\u00e1l Hall, \u201epatrn\u011b se to dotkne va\u0161\u00ed hrdosti jako n\u011bmeck\u00e9ho d\u016fstojn\u00edka, ale za va\u0161e odhalen\u00ed nevd\u011b\u010d\u00edme ani tak na\u0161im agent\u016fm jako sp\u00ed\u0161e\u2026 No zkr\u00e1tka, m\u016f\u017eete za to pod\u011bkovat panu von Papenovi.“<\/em><\/p>\n

Tak p\u0159ece, blesklo Rintelenovi hlavou, m\u00e9 ne\u0161t\u011bst\u00ed se jmenuje Papenova hloupost.<\/em><\/p>\n

Nahlas pronesl: \u201ePros\u00edm v\u00e1s, p\u00e1nov\u00e9, o jak\u00e9m telegramu to mluv\u00edte?“<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201eO tom,\u201c <\/em>vysv\u011btloval Hall vl\u00eddn\u011b, \u201ekter\u00fd jste dostal \u0161est\u00e9ho \u010dervence, pr\u00e1v\u011b p\u0159ed m\u011bs\u00edcem. Se\u0161el jste se toho dne s kapit\u00e1nem Boy-Edem na rohu P\u00e1t\u00e9 avenue a P\u011bta\u010dty\u0159ic\u00e1t\u00e9 t\u0159\u00eddy a tam v\u00e1m n\u00e1mo\u0159n\u00ed ata\u0161\u00e9 odevzdal telegram… Moment, hned v\u00e1m jej p\u0159e\u010dtu.“<\/em><\/p>\n

Admir\u00e1l Hall vyt\u00e1hl z n\u00e1prsn\u00ed kapsy tobolku, z n\u00ed mal\u00fd slo\u017een\u00fd l\u00edstek, rozev\u0159el jej a \u010detl: \u201eN\u011bmeck\u00e9mu vyslanectv\u00ed. Pro n\u00e1mo\u0159n\u00edho p\u0159id\u011blence. Sd\u011blte nen\u00e1padn\u011b kapit\u00e1nu Rintelenovi, \u017ee se m\u00e1 podle rozkazu vr\u00e1tit do N\u011bmecka… Souhlas\u00ed to, kapit\u00e1ne? Tak u\u017e v\u00edte, pro\u010d jsme \u0159\u00edkali, \u017ee jste si dal na\u010das?“<\/em><\/p>\n

V t\u00e9 chv\u00edli by byl Rintelenovi na jazyku zho\u0159kl i ten nejlep\u0161\u00ed koktejl na sv\u011bt\u011b, \u201eJak jste se k tomu telegramu dostali? Byl p\u0159ece k\u00f3dov\u00e1n?“<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201eZajist\u00e9, kapit\u00e1ne, byl,“<\/em> usm\u00e1l se Hall. \u201eAle my jsme jej dek\u00f3dovali.\u201c<\/em><\/p>\n

A pak se n\u011bmeck\u00fd v\u00fdzv\u011bda\u010d kapit\u00e1n Franz von Rintelen<\/em> dov\u011bd\u011bl z nejpovolan\u011bj\u0161\u00edch \u00fast velik\u00e9 tajemstv\u00ed admir\u00e1la Halla a britsk\u00e9 Intelligence Service o tom, jak je tomu s n\u011bmeck\u00fdmi k\u00f3dy a jak\u00e9 byly skute\u010dn\u00e9 p\u0159\u00ed\u010diny tragick\u00e9 por\u00e1\u017eky eskadry admir\u00e1la von Spee <\/em>u Falklandsk\u00fdch ostrov\u016f.<\/em><\/p>\n

Co by byl dal Rintelen za takov\u00e9 informace je\u0161t\u011b p\u0159ed n\u011bkolika dny! Ale te\u010f u\u017e bylo pozd\u011b. Mohl si vz\u00edt Hallovo tajemstv\u00ed jedin\u011b na nedobrovolnou cestu za velikou lou\u017ei. Ani jemu, ani c\u00edsa\u0159sk\u00e9mu N\u011bmecku u\u017e poslou\u017eit nemohlo.<\/p>\n

Bylo k p\u016flnoci, kdy\u017e oba brit\u0161t\u00ed admir\u00e1lov\u011b sv\u00e9mu zajatci zdvo\u0159ile podali ruku. Hall k tomu dodal: \u201eOb\u00e1v\u00e1m se, \u017ee se budeme muset s v\u00e1mi rozlou\u010dit. Venku na v\u00e1s \u010dekaj\u00ed dva p\u00e1nov\u00e9 od vojensk\u00e9 policie…\u201c<\/em><\/p>\n

Kapit\u00e1n Rintelen<\/em> dohr\u00e1l svou hru.<\/p>\n

Admir\u00e1l Reginald Hall<\/em> se spokojen\u011b usm\u00edval.<\/p>\n
