Chapter 2: Karma Arises Like Evil [Act 3] Disillusionment (8)
Suddenly, there was a loud "bang", Andrew raised his hand fiercely, swept all the things on the rosewood desk to the ground, and secretly thought that if it weren't for the only blood relationship between them, he would have sent someone to break through the manor in the city of Munich and kill Eric on the spot!
But the information revealed in Eric's words just now made Andrew quickly calm down: Now that Lin Jingru has been missing for nearly three days, why has her University of Munich not reported the case for a long time? Even her roommate, Eric's cousin Christina, never asked her boyfriend, Ancoste, who was also his aide-de-camp. So what happened at the University of Munich after the secret arrest of Lin Jingru that day?
"Good, good, good! My dear brother, you won this time by luck! Andrew was eager to immediately tear off the telephone cord in his hand, "I'll go to the Faculty of Medicine of Munich University myself later, and see what your dear cousin is hiding from me!" ”
Listening to the chaotic voices and threats coming from the other end of the phone, Eric felt unhappy, knowing that his ridicule had once again made his brother angry, but he was still helpless against him. Hearing his words, he smiled lightly: "Immediately? Do you have enough time? Wilkes' cousin Karl Wolff[30], the aide-de-camp of your 'dear national leader', Mr. Heinrich Ruytberg Himmler, revealed that since the Reich had just occupied Lodz, the industrial center of Poland, Krakow, the second largest city,[31] it was necessary to maintain 'order' there. Therefore, Himmler arranged for you, who had been appointed by Field Marshal Gert von Rundstedt earlier this month,[32] to wait for you at five o'clock tomorrow morning at the gates of the Reich Central Ministry of the Interior, 74 Unter den Linden, Berlin, to go with him to Poland. Given that the train ride is at least 10 hours at the moment, it's best to pack your bags quickly and don't miss the real 'big thing'! ”
Andrew hung up angrily, unwilling to continue the verbal argument with Eric, after all, it was now more important to investigate the many strange things at the University of Munich before leaving for Berlin. It's just that I didn't expect that at such a critical moment, there would be Himmler's order to disrupt his intentions, which is really inferior to heaven. Moreover, as Himmler's confidant, Karl Wolff would rather have Wilkes, his Wehrmacht cousin and Eric's adjutant lieutenant, convey it than inform him directly, which is really becoming more and more rampant under Himmler's protection.
Exegesis:
[30] Carl Wolff, one of the leading Nazi war criminals. In 1933, he successively served as General Ritter von Ep, Governor of Bavaria, and Aide-de-camp to Himmler, and in 1936 he became a member of the German Parliament, because of his loyalty to the head of the SS Heinrich Himmler, and after 1934, his status rose rapidly, and he was successively promoted to the rank of Captain of the SS First Class Commando Group, District Captain, Detachment Leader, and Chief Adjutant of the Commander and Commander. In February 1945, he was secretly sent by Himmler to Switzerland to negotiate with the CIA envoy Allen Dulles to negotiate the terms of the surrender of the German troops in Italy to the Allies.

[31] By September 7, Rundstedt's Army Group South inflicted heavy losses on the Polish Army "Lodz" and "Krakow" Corps, occupying Lodz, the industrial center of Poland, and Krakow, the second largest city, and the 16th Panzer Corps, the vanguard of the 10th Army Corps, reached the southern outskirts of Warsaw on September 8, cutting off the retreat of the Polish "Poznan" Corps from the south. Bauk's Army Group North completely annihilated the Polish Army "Pomerania" and inflicted heavy losses on the "Modlin", occupied the "Polish Corridor", and then forced its way across the Vistula River to seize the positions covering the road to Warsaw from the north.
[32] Historically, the Polish governor of Nazi Germany was Hans Frank, who was appointed by Field Marshal Gert von Rundstedt as chairman of the Polish administration in September 1939, and became the new president of Poland with the German occupation of Poland on October 26, and was awarded the rank of SS general. Since then, he has committed the crime of ethnic purification and extermination of Jews, and he was sentenced to death after the war.
