and secret agents play an extremely important role in today's diplomacy through espionage aggressor nations often learn of troop movements and naval plans before they can be put into operation armed with this secret knowledge pirate nations have even seized small countries and set up protectants while those great powers that would stand in their paths are otherwise engaged such is the background of several of the unexpected moves that have shocked the world my story tells of one such plot that failed John Holbrook introduces it thank you K-7 recently a newspaper headlines have told of fleet movements under sealed orders such a transfer of battleships was recently planned by a great power in the interest of world peace however the spies of a pirate nation almost stole the orders before

gasoline yes the tank is full then we should be at the border within an hour drive carefully so you're out of the city a few minutes later the two spies rushed toward the border and drive faster this

and wait you can't drive that car while I was waiting for you I poured granulated sugar into the gas tank I was afraid they'd get away before he came you told me sugar would choke a motor Yvonne you did that do you realize that sugar may have prevented a war if we hadn't caught these two the secret orders of the fleet would have been known and war would have followed that night the newspapers in a hundred world capitals called out the same headlines sales and that secret orders read all about it because a great nation's fleet thus got underway it arrived off the coast of a country that might otherwise have been doomed however if its destination had been known before the warships sailed this story might easily have become another black page in history listen for my next story this is K7
