On Easter Monday, the four children have established a friendship with each other in the happy game of Easter Sunday, and it can be said that the four little ones are inseparable throughout Easter Sunday.

Intentionally or unintentionally, the venue for the game of Joachim, Dreyer and Stoling slowly moved from the lawn in front of the palace to the Havre River, and the game of rolling out of the game evolved from the confrontation between the four to the "egg war" between the four people.

Potsdam, which is only a dozen kilometers away from the center of Berlin, has always been regarded as the back garden of Berlin, and people are accustomed to calling the palaces and gardens located in Potsdam and Berlin together, Berlin and Potsdam palaces and courtyards.

In fact, during the time of Frederick the Great, the capital of Prussia was in Potsdam, and the Emperor lived in the Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam, not Berlin in the northeast of it.

Of course, another important reason for Joey's past life, the Potsdam Palace's fame, was that the Allied triumvirate signed an agreement here on how to deal with (carve up) Germany after World War II.

But in the minds of Germans, Potsdam Palace is not a communiqué or a political one, but a vast collection of palaces and gardens that stretch along the Havre River to the Jungfern see.

It is a vast landscape complex consisting of more than 100 palaces or buildings, including Sanssouci Palace, Babelsberg New Garden, Peacock Island and its palaces, Sakerlof Palace and its gardens, Hyland Church, Lindstedt Palace and Gardens, Observation Deck on Puffinberg Hill, Observatory in Babelsberg Park, and many others.

The only place in front of him about the beauty of the palace and gardens that is different from the Pozdam palace complex in Joey's memory is that there is no building where the Big Three signed the Pozdam Proclamation, the West Schillinghof Palace.

In 1913, Wilhelm II, the enigmatic man of Joey's previous life, added a new English farmhouse-style building with 176 houses to the palace complex in Potsdam, the West Schillinghof Palace.

Until Wilhelm II abdicated and fled to the Netherlands, his queen and princes lived in the castle for most of the time, and even after the family fled to the Netherlands, his sons and daughters returned to the castle during the Weimar period, where they lived until 1945.

While living in an English castle, fighting with his English cousins, loving the English way of life, but fighting with the British, William was indeed ......, well, a man whose body was more honest than his mind.

Churchill, who had gone through two wars, sat in the house of Wilhelm II, who had only been expelled in 1945, and signed an agreement on how to divide and chop up Germany.

Of course, the famous Glinikke Bridge is already there, and this bridge was the dividing point between East and West Germany in Joey's previous life, and it is on this iron bridge that all the spy exchanges between the Eastern and Western camps take place. The history of this iron bridge is also the pain of the split in the hearts of the Germans

The buildings in Potsdam, which is more than 7,500 acres of land, are not all closed to the outside world, except for a few palaces where the royal family lived, such as Sanssouci Palace, most of the palaces and buildings are open to all Germans.

The farther away from the palace, the more pedestrians there are on the road, because it is a good day like Easter Monday, coupled with the sunny weather, the more families will go out to play, and naturally there will be more children.

The four kids, oh, are actually four little villains who are good at cheating, holding easter eggs that are added by Dreyer's chemical method, and competing with other children who dare to play the game of rolling eggs along the way, and the result is naturally that the four of them are killing all sides... The places where he passed were full of sorrow and misery.

No, in fact, it's not so exaggerated, it's just that easter eggs are full of mournful eggs, and they are miserable.

As the game progressed, the four children also spontaneously had a division of labor, and about Achim was strong, coordinated and athletic, and became a professional egg thrower; Dreyer is good at calculations, understands the advantages and disadvantages of various easter egg materials, and becomes a professional technical support; Little Stoling has a natural sensitivity to money (easter eggs) and becomes the accountant of this easter egg killer squad.

"As for Joey, because he is good at coordination, good at organization, and has natural leadership, he has become the leader of this easter egg killer team." This quote comes from Joey's later memoirs, a chapter on Easter 1879, in which Joey recounts his childhood and laments the process of getting to know his best friends.

"It's all nonsense, four bear kids playing in a team, what kind of natural leadership, these are all complete messy over-interpretations. I'm telling you, it's actually just the Easter naughty of the four bear kids. However, my description is accurate. As for Jojo, it's purely because he doesn't know anything, he's not as good as Achim when he throws easter eggs, his brain isn't as fast as my calculations, and he can't compare to Thomas in calculating money, it's just that we take him to play together, and Jojo's main role is to mess around. ”

This is the later great Duke Dreyer-Babbage's commentary on Joey's memoirs in an interview with a television reporter.

When the reporter asked on TV, "Your Royal Highness, readers are curious, what is the specific production process of this thing called Dreyer's Easter egg?" Everyone wants to do it for themselves according to your method and get a better result in the Roll Egg Competition. ”

Dreyer's face, tanned by the Mediterranean sun, rarely red, "Oh.... That's a good question, it's a good question, well, I guess it's a philosophical question, to start with the chicken or the egg..... "Obviously, Duke Dreyer was on TV, and he started talking about him.

"That's right! Ask this, ask him this, ask him, how to make this egg! Old Joey said angrily in front of the TV.

Joey's response to Duke Dreyer's evaluation afterwards was only, "Art, literature and art must always allow some recreation...... by the way, do you want to know the secret recipe for making Dreyer's eggs? ”

Children are competitive, and no one wants to lose their easter eggs to others, so more and more children are involved, so the game becomes more and more fun.

The more children there are, the more likely they are to meet acquaintances, and as the quartet heads down the Havre River toward the main town of Potsdam, they hear a loud commotion behind a wooded area near the river.

This huge noise attracted the curiosity of the four people like a magnet, and without saying a word, the four of them only used one eye contact before rushing towards the source of the sound.

In an open lawn behind the woods, a group of adults are standing or lying on the lawn, and under the watchful eyes of the adults, a large group of children are chasing a brown bouncing ball.

Joey's eyes widened, and before his mind could turn, Dreyer shouted "Football!" With that, he waved his hands and ran towards the crowd.

And Joachim and Stoling, who were clearly familiar with the sport, followed Dreyer to the lawn. Joey, who was still thinking about when football would come to Germany, didn't bother to think about this kind of boring question as his pace accelerated, and he was ready to rush into the field to play a good game of wild ball.

Dreyer was about to rush to the field when a tall German grabbed him, and the tall German said to Dreel, "Hey, kid, they're playing, you can't come in like that." ”

It's a pity that Dreyer, a smart Englishman, is still learning German, and he only understands the word German child, so anxiously, he spoke in English, but fortunately, this tall German is obviously well-educated, and he was stunned for a moment, and then said in fluent English, "Child, now in the game, I can't let you in." ”

Then he continued to say in English to the three people who followed, "Children, if you want to participate, you have to have a team. ”

Storin and Joachim asked in unison, "How many people are needed?" ”

The two of them were fluent in German, with a distinctly local Berlin accent, which made the tall German stunned and blurted out, "According to British rules, only feet are allowed, and 11 people are required, and two sessions are 30 minutes each." ”

"Eleven?!" This number disappointed all four.

"Hey Jojo, is Dirk you?" A familiar voice rang out behind them, and Joey and Dreyer looked back and shouted, "Ginter, William!" Why are you here? ”

"You guys come to see football too?" Joey asked, looking at these two friends from the arts and sciences.

"Of course!" Ginter and William replied in unison.

"Do you two know how to kick?" Dreyer asked anxiously, "It's okay if you can't kick, do you see that ball, just pass it to me." ”

Ginter and William looked at each other, looked up at Dreyer proudly and said, "Dirk, you should pass the ball to us, don't think that England invented football, you were born to play football!" ”

"Do you really know how to play?" Dreyer asked suspiciously, after taking a closer look.

"I'm from Bavaria, and five years ago, the Munich club had football." Ginter said proudly.

"I'm from Hamburg, and kids in Hamburg are born to play football!" William straightened his chest, and even more unrelentingly.

"Then what are you waiting for, find someone, find 5 more people!" The burly Joachim suddenly interjected, interrupting the unnutritious comparison of the men.

"Jojo, Potsdam is your home turf, you can't get together 11 people, don't think of yourself as my grandfather's godson." The little man Stoling still gave Joey a stinky face.

"Find someone, 5!" Joey pointed around with his hand, "These are all children, since you are so good, how about finding 5 stakes!" ”

"Then call a few!" Dreyer couldn't wait to start pulling people together.

"Wait!" Joey grabbed Dreyer, "I saw a few acquaintances, you guys wait!" ”

"Ernst, Ernst-Mandolfel!" Joey shouted at the crowd not far away. A short but strong boy turned his head, and it was none other than Joey's classmate at military school, the great guy Ernst von Mandolfel.

The tall German standing next to Joey looked at Joey with a look of surprise and asked, "Do you know my brother Ernst?" ”

"You're Ernst's brother?" Joey was also surprised, such a coincidence.

"My elder brother of Ernst, Hasso, my brother is also looking for someone to play football with, it just so happens that he has found a few alumni of the military academy, if you know each other, I suggest you can form a team, my brother is playing football well." After knowing that Joey was his brother's friend, the tall man's words obviously increased.

Ernst, who had trotted all the way, knew that Joey had six people here, and he reflexively ran back with a happy smile, shouting as he ran, "Six, Max!" Hurry up, braggart Joey has 6 people here! Just one team! ”

"Joke the braggart?!" About Achim, Dreyer, Sterling, and even the tall Haso Mandolfer stared at Joey together.

"I'm not bragging!" Suddenly, Joey felt that his self-esteem had been seriously hurt, and explained loudly to several people, "I just said that a new rifle in development was better than all the rifles they knew, and they didn't believe me to give me this damn nickname"

"You wait, I promise, just this year! I'll teach them a lesson with facts! I still treat them as friends, and I can say this nickname in private! Joey waved his hand and grumbled angrily.

"A new rifle in development?" A light flashed in the eyes of the tall Hasso Mandofer, and he asked in his heart, "Whose family is this child?" How do you know a rifle that is being developed? ”

"Haha, that's a good nickname!" Dreyer was the first to echo heartlessly.

"Hahaha, I'm going to tell my grandfather this story." Storling smirked evilly, and immediately fell to the ground.

Although Achim didn't say anything, the evil smile on his face showed that he didn't reciprocate sympathy at all.

Just as the exasperated Joey kept explaining, Max Hoffmann, who couldn't wake up, the blonde boy Friedrich Kress von Kolasenstein, the strong and tall William Greiner, the ever-serious Saxter von Arnim, the handsome blonde boy Markus Wolff and the sturdy Friedrich Leopold von Wilder, led by Ernst von Mandolfer, ran over together.

The number of people on both sides is one plus, and 13 people .....

Hoffman first raised his hand, indicating that he was purely making up the number of people and could just quit, and then the serious Amni also signaled that he didn't really understand the sport and wanted to see the rules of the game first.

Now there are exactly 11 people, and Joey and his buddies are just waiting to play.
