Chapter 266: A Chance Encounter on the Long Street

Because it was getting late, Fang Yan did not choose to rush back to Kiel Port, which was more than 300 kilometers away, overnight. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info he said goodbye to Marshal Raeder, who was a workaholic, in front of the naval headquarters building, and then walked straight to his home in Berlin. During rush hour, the streets of Berlin are bustling with people of all colors; The happy smile on his simple face made Fang Yan, who had been working the battlefield and in the military and political fields at home and abroad for a long time, couldn't help but be infected, and from the bottom of his heart, he produced the purest relaxation, joy and peace.

Staggered buses and trams, endless groups of bicycles; Rows of street shops, warm and noisy chatter and laughter...... Fang Yan, who was walking on the street, smiled and felt all this, and a strong sense of cherishing and identifying with the civilization he was in swelled in his heart. On the road of her revival, there are condensed drops of her own hard work, whether Britain or the United States stand in front of her, she will never retreat!

However, soon, Fang Yan's face couldn't smile. Because he found himself surrounded by a crowd at some point, and as far as he could see, there were pairs of eyes that sparkled with excitement and disbelief. The corners of Fang Yan's mouth twitched, realizing that he had made a very fatal mistake: the crisp and solemn general's uniform was still worn by himself, and this was like a burning torch in the dark night, which would attract the attention of everyone around him.

"General Brom? You're the same General Brom, who wrote the apocalypse of the rise and fall of the High Seas Fleet and made plans for a surprise attack on Scapa Bay? I don't know who in the crowd opened his mouth to confirm, and the situation that was still under control was completely exploded. People have discovered that the handsome and upright young man in front of him is exactly the same as the photo of the young brigadier general who was personally awarded the medal by the Führer published in the newspaper! In an instant, the surrounding area turned into a sea of cheers; It was a surprise and excitement that Germany's most shining naval hero appeared in front of them without warning!

Faced with the crowd that gathered from all directions, Fang Yan's scalp exploded, trying to calm down the crowd with a speech like Hitler, but he found that in the absence of a megaphone, his voice alone could not be compared with hundreds of people. Dazzled, Fang Yan could only hear the words of various groups of people passing through his ears chaotically:

"General Brom, you must continue to beat the British, so that they can wash away their sins with blood!"

"General Brom, it is said that you and the Führer have known each other for a long time, can you tell us the story of the Führer's struggle?"

"General Brom, my three daughters have to hold your picture to sleep, can you fulfill a father's wish and write them a few words of encouragement to learn?"

"Dear Jonas, if you're going to get a divorce one day, you must let me be your wife, woo......"

……

Just as he was at a loss, Fang Yan suddenly heard the hum of a car horn next to him, the sound was so loud and continuous that it attracted the attention of the people around him. Fang Yan turned his head and saw a military barrel truck parked on the side of the road, making a "hum" sound; A rugged and resolute lieutenant general stood tall in the back seat, his eyes swept across the room, showing the solemn and domineering spirit of a fierce general on the battlefield.

"General Guderian!" Fang Yan was pleasantly surprised in his heart, and hurriedly called out loudly. Guderian's face was as pale as iron, and he shouted to the crowd: "How dare you gather a crowd to make trouble in the city of Berlin, and really think that the laws of National Socialism are a blank slate?" General Brom has agreed to meet me today, and I now order you to disperse at once. Otherwise, as soon as I make a phone call, you will wait in the interrogation room of the Gestapo to explain slowly! ”

Seeing Guderian, who was as fierce as the god of war with angry eyes, the momentum of the crowd was first half a cut in front of him; Hearing the term "Gestapo" again, people's expressions changed slightly, and the emotions that were originally excited because of seeing Fang Yan immediately dissipated. Although the German secret police organization was far from being as murderous and dehumanizing as its Soviet counterparts, and made entire families disappear at every turn, it also entertained political dissidents suspected of undermining National Socialism and "disobedient" workers, peasants, and citizens.

If he is really caught by these eagle dogs, even if he is innocent, it will be an extremely troublesome and bloody matter to stay in the interrogation room for a few days. You must know that delaying a day's work means that you will have to earn 4 marks less, and you will be able to buy a 50kg bag of wheat after deducting insurance and donations!

Taking advantage of the hesitation of the crowd to loosen, Fang Yan immediately pushed aside the people in front of him like a swimming fish, and jumped onto Guderian's barrel car in three steps and two steps. The elf's lieutenant driver immediately stepped on the accelerator, and the barrel car let out a roaring roar, and then disappeared into the corner of the road at lightning speed.

The speed of the car slowed down, and the sound of the wind passing by my ears became softer and softer. Fang Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead with palpitations, and said to the person in front of him with gratitude: "General Guderian, thank you for saving me from the crisis. Otherwise, I would have suffered a terrible catastrophe today. ”

Guderian sat down on the hard seat, and the intimidating and aggressive intent on his face had subsided. He frowned and said, "Jonas, you're just being too careless. If you don't take a car or carry an escort, why do you still appear on the bustling street as it is? Did you know that newspapers all over Germany are now publishing your deeds and photos in large areas? When it comes to the commander of the Navy, Marshal Raeder, many people may not be familiar with it, but if you talk about Jonas, you can't find a single one out of hundreds who doesn't know! ”

"Huh?" Fang Yan was stunned and couldn't help but shake his head blankly. Under the control of Goebbels, who held the power of propaganda, all the newspapers in Germany were unified with the Berlin Central Committee: apart from the praise of Hitler and the National Socialist Party, the contents of their publications were almost nothing other than the praise of Hitler and the National Socialist Party, the call to hard work of the people with elements of revolution, battle, nation, revenge, and so on, and the praise of the current state of prosperity. Ever since he bought a copy of the People's Observer, Fang Yan decided not to touch this kind of thing again.

Now Fang Yan understands the sources of major events at home and abroad, in addition to using his family connections, he reads the "Milan Times" from Italy. Although Mussolini's Italy was still controlled by the media, this non-belligerent newspaper, based on outsiders, still published many meaningful and real events.

"Huh?" Seeing Fang Yan's confused look on his face, Guderian was even more shocked. He asked the adjutant to temporarily park his car in front of a newsstand, and then bought a copy of the Berlin Evening Post and threw it in front of Fang Yan: "Look, the whole column behind this is exclusive propaganda for you. Since half a month ago, this column has been done for 7 issues. Judging from the current progress, this month may not be finished. ”

With the help of the afterglow of the setting sun, Fang Yan saw the newspaper column in his hand clearly: this is a third-person record of his past service in the navy. This not only contains a large number of processed photos of Fang Yan, but also the words described are also full of oil and vinegar, shaping Fang Yan into a perfect tall and complete image of loyalty, bravery, wisdom, perseverance and dedication. After only reading a few paragraphs, Fang Yan was so ashamed that his whole body was sore, he suddenly closed the newspaper and said angrily: "What do the people in the newspaper want to do? If there are any further deviations in the report in the future, I will definitely make them fully responsible! ”

"That's what the Führer meant. He is ready to cast you as an ideal Aryan of pure blood in order to confirm his theory of racial superiority and inferiority, and to set an example of a perfect soldier in the army. This was when I met the Führer at the beginning of last month, and I heard this with my own ears outside the Chancellery's office to Minister Goebbels. Guderian's gaze was slightly complicated, and there was a bit of helplessness in envy and jealousy. He is also a favorite general in front of the Führer, but when he compares with the young man in front of him, he is as overshadowed as a firefly under the bright moon: whether it is age, appearance, family background, or personal relationship with the Führer, this young man has an absolute advantage to be favored by the Führer, and has become a well-known national hero under the momentum of the propaganda machine!

Fang Yan was silent. For this situation, he couldn't judge for a moment whether the benefits outweighed the disadvantages or the opposite: this kind of public figure popularity was not the result he wanted, and if possible, Fang Yan still hoped to be able to travel with Sylvia everywhere in the country as before. However, since this matter was difficult to transfer according to his own will, Fang Yan no longer thought about it; Looking at the middle-aged general in front of him, Fang Yan's heart moved slightly, and he said, "General Guderian, I am extremely grateful for your rescue today. I wonder if I'm lucky enough to have you, the Blitz Hero, join me for dinner tonight? ”

Guderian looked at Fang Yan with some surprise, he pulled Fang Yan today completely out of help, and he didn't think about getting anything in return at all. After a moment of silence, Guderian smiled slyly and said, "Then it will be as you wish." I seem to remember that you are the richest landowner in the Wehrmacht, and I will not show any mercy to this dinner, so you will be ready to pay the bills, Mark. ”

Fang Yan nodded with a generous look on his face, but he sighed secretly in his heart. Paying out of one's own pocket for the future of the Army and the lives of soldiers is a rare sentiment in the whole of Germany, right? (To be continued.) )
