Chapter 3: Sisterhood and Childly Infatuation [Act 2] Shocking Change (13)

Hair? Could it be that she is not 'Ting' but Lin Jingru? Andrew shook his head slightly, secretly thinking that after Lin Jingru's escape attempt last time, he had ordered the housekeeper Emma to guard her strictly, so it could not be the woman from Shanghai, China. Suddenly, I remembered that this morning, Ancoster reported that after Lin Jingru was arrested, another Chinese woman similar to her became Christina's new roommate. Not only did she succeed in hiding from all the teachers and students at the University of Munich, but she also slapped a Japanese student and got the opportunity to go to the University of Berlin for an internship because of her excellent grades. So, shouldn't that back?

"Hey, hey! Dear Andy, what do you look so fascinated by? Wolf saw that Andrew was looking out the window blankly, and hurriedly honked the horn a few times, trying to wake the other party. &65288;&26825;&33457;&31958;&23567;&35828;&32593;&32;&87;&119;&119;&46;&77;&105;&97;&110;&72;&117;&97;&84;&97;&110;&103;&46;&67;&99;&32;&25552;&20379;&84;&120;&116; &20813;&36153;&19979;&36733;&65289;

The shrill horn pulled Andrew back to reality, and he saw Himmler in the back seat and Wolf next to him both looking confused, and a thin smile hooked into thin lips: "It's nothing, I thought I saw Ancoster because I saw it wrong-" After speaking, he rolled up the window, closed his eyes and leaned back in the seat, thoughtful. &65288;&26825;&33457;&31958;&23567;&35828;&32593;&32;&87;&119;&119;&46;&77;&105;&97;&110;&72;&117;&97;&84;&97;&110;&103;&46;&67;&99;&32;&25552;&20379;&84;&120;&116; &20813;&36153;&19979;&36733;&65289;

Outside the car window, there is still a lot of noise and wheels.

With the sound of a roaring propeller, a silver-gray plane cut a long white line in the air. Peeling back the clouds, you can get a bird's-eye view of three iron-gray trains speeding along the thousands of miles of railroad tracks in the vast wilderness to the east.

Hitler's invasion of Poland had been planned for a long time in order to regain the Polish Corridor and the Free City of Danzig, which had been lost after World War I, to restore the territory of the German Empire before World War I, and to occupy the industrial city of Lodz. In the face of Germany's land claims and more than one diplomatic deception, Britain and France tried to mediate the war, and their hopes of bringing about German-Polish peace talks were completely dashed. In the middle of the night at the end of August, after the success of Heydrich's conspiracy to plot the "Grevitz Radio Case", codenamed "Canned Goods"[75], there was finally a pretext for invading Poland, and a major war broke out at dawn on September 1, and Britain and France had to formally declare war on Germany.

Unexpectedly, in order to win this battle, Germany had been preparing for a long time -- not only did it elaborate the "white plan" on 3 April, but also announced on 27 August that domestic foodstuffs, soap, shoes, textiles, and coal would be rationed from the next day. By the beginning of September, the German army had crossed the Polish border in a big way, and advanced into Warsaw by three routes: north, south, and west. For a time, German planes roared in the air and swooped down on the bombing targets -- Polish troops, arsenals, bridges, railways, and undefended cities. A few minutes later, for the first time, Polish soldiers and civilians tasted the largest sudden death and destruction in the air in human history. And this terror will hang over Europe and Asia for more than six years, leaving millions of men, women, and children under its shadow [76].

Exegesis:

[75] Operation "Canned Goods" ([75] According to Alfred Helmut Nauyokes at the Nuremberg Tribunal after the war: "At noon on August 31, I received from Heydrich an order to attack at 8 p.m. that day. Heydrich said that before carrying out the attack, he could pick up 'canned goods' from Müller." It was later shown that Berlin's communication with the outside world had been cut off almost entirely that night, with the exception of external press telegrams and radio broadcasts covering the Führer's "construction" of Poland and the Polish "attack" on German territory.
