Chapter 492:

Although he did not agree with Himmler's executioner, but now that he committed suicide in front of him, Xiao Mubai was still a little embarrassed, such a war criminal who committed a heinous crime died in front of him.

Such a person should be tried and hanged in court.

Suicide may be a kind of courage to face death, but not to face the court, not to face the death trial of six million Jews, is not an escape. But in any case, Himmler is dead, and the trial is a matter of the International Tribunal of the Anti-Fascist League, and it has nothing to do with Xiao Mubai.

His mission was simply to kill Hitler and overthrow the Third Reich.

As soon as Himmler died, the task of overthrowing the Third Reich was greatly accelerated. Xiao Mubai already had a hunch that he didn't have much time to stay here. Perhaps today will be the last day of the mission.

Thinking like this, Xiao Mubai walked over to check Himmler's condition, and after testing his snort, he found that there was no movement at all, and confirmed that he was dead. After comparing the photos and confirming that they were correct, he said to Ernst next to him: "Confirm, there is no doubt that it is Himmler." ”

Ernst stepped forward and looked at the executioner with wide eyes to see what was unusual about him. It turned out that he was no different from ordinary people, he looked white and clean, and he knew that he was pampered at a glance.

"He's dead!" Ernst was a little excited, excited and a little incredulous.

Xiao Mubai understands him, some people feel fear after killing, some people are very calm, Ernst is a warrior, the person he is facing at the moment is not an ordinary person, at least the sin is too great to die. There's no pressure to kill him.

"Ernst, he committed suicide, you don't need to bear any psychological responsibility."

"No!" Ernst shook his head resolutely.

"He would not have committed suicide if the soldiers of the 3rd Infantry Company hadn't spotted him and kept him here. Without the 3rd Infantry Company, he might have arrived at Potsdam Airport and escaped from Berlin. ”

"Part of the reason for his death is mine, because I was the first to discover him and sent a platoon to pursue him." Ernst stared at Xiao Mubai with blazing eyes and said.

"Really?" Xiao Mubai was really a little surprised now. What should he say about Ernst, it was good luck and shit luck. So many reserve officers in Berlin, so many soldiers of the supplementary battalion, let him touch.

"Then I congratulate you, you deserve this honor, it was you who arrested Himmler."

"Yes, I didn't capture Himmler alive, but I have a share of the credit, don't I?" Ernst said softly, mired in some kind of conjecture, perhaps an Iron Cross.

"Hitler is dead, Himmler is dead, the war is coming to an end, peace is coming." Ernst said slowly, his voice became low, and the tone of his voice became low: "There will be disarmament soon, many soldiers will retire, and then, there will be unemployment." ”

Xiao Mubai listened, and suddenly understood what Ernst said, this is what happened in Germany after World War I, if World War II is over, the situation in Germany is still not dealt with, and the new war will enter the countdown. Perhaps many German soldiers are thinking that if the war is lost, Germany will be the next Weimar government era.

This may be the reason why they insisted on the war and still chose to believe in Hitler.

However, history did not turn out as they expected, because of the confrontation between NATO and the Warsaw Pact, and an iron curtain of the Cold War descended.

"Ernst, believe me, there is hope to live." Xiao Mubai could only comfort him like this.

On the way back, he was still thinking about two things, Goering, the new government.

As soon as Goering was arrested or committed suicide, and a new government was introduced, Xiao Mubai's task was completed. A new government is already in the works, and he can't help much if the countdown to a new government begins as soon as Berlin is controlled.

The rest is only Goering, and catching Goering is the only thing Xiao Mubai can do.

But where is Goering? The air force airfield in Potsdam, southwest of Berlin, was also the headquarters of the Imperial Air Force on the Western Front of Germany.

Perhaps, Goering will not commit suicide in front of him, Xiao Mubai faintly felt. It is impossible for a man to step into the same river twice, and he cannot have such good luck every time. The word luck is inappropriate here, and perhaps it can be replaced by probability.

The probability of Goering dying in front of him was too small.

Back at the War Department, Xiao Mubai was ordered to report to Stauffenberg, stood at his desk, raised his hand and saluted: "Sir, Himmler is dead, commit suicide in front of me." ”

"I was on my way from the Ministry of Propaganda to the Ministry of War when I came across a car being pursued by the Zelendorf Replenishment Battalion. The man in the car was Himmler, who was about to go to the Potsdam air airfield, but was surrounded by Ensign Ernst of the 3rd Infantry Company. ”

"Ernst was my subordinate in Zelendorf, and I went upstairs with him into the room and saw with my own eyes that Himmler committed suicide with a bullet in the temple."

"The body, I've taken back to the War Department, it's downstairs." Xiao Mubai finished speaking in one breath.

"Yes, you go and rest first." Stauffenberg replied without looking up.

Xiao Mubai was wondering why not only Stauffenberg but also other people in the office reacted so indifferently when they heard that Himmler had died. He came in a hurry, and no one gave him his first cup of coffee, which was too bad.

At this moment, Stauffenberg signed the paperwork, looked up, and saw that he was stunned in place, remembering something and saying.

"Major Heisenberg, who has just replenished the battalion in Zehrendorf, has already reported to me on the phone, and now that Berlin is under control, you can go and rest first."

Asked him to rest twice, Xiao Mubai felt more and more strange, not only the colonel, but also the other staff in the office, they didn't look busy, they seemed to be very calm and organized, and they seemed to have a chance to win.

"What about Goering?" He still didn't give up and asked.

Stauffenberg looked up, gave him a strange look, and said, "You don't know? ”

Seeing that he was unaware, the colonel had to put down his work and explain: "Just half an hour ago, Goering was preparing to fly to the Hamburg military port, from where he would go to sea on a submarine. Unfortunately, the Allied air forces were intercepted over western Germany and eventually shot down the plane. ”

Xiao Mubai was stunned, but he didn't expect that Goering was dead.

"The crash site was identified, the people on board the plane were confirmed dead, and Goering was among them. We have sent people back to bring back the bodies and expect to arrive in Berlin tomorrow morning. ”

"The news of Goering's death was not only confirmed by the German reserves, but also by the Allies. Yes, that is the one who the Allies have informed his Foreign Ministry. As he spoke, Stauffenberg pointed in the direction of the sofa.

Xiao Mubai, who was a little sluggish, looked over and saw a very unexpected person, the lonely spy Fritz Kolbe, before going to the wolf's den to carry out the operation, he went to find and pass on the information of Valkyrie's operation to the other party.

He saw Kolbe, and the other party saw him at this moment, and gave him a strange smile.

"Colonel, Mr. Baker has invited you to the banquet for the new government, and the car is already waiting." At this time, a female staff member came over and reported to the colonel.

"Heinrich, I still have something, if you have something, we'll talk about it later." Stauffenberg commanded, then put on his military uniform and strode away.

"Hello, Mr. Friday!" Colbe walked up to Xiao Mubai and asked with a smile.
