Chapter Twenty-Three: The Dead Soldier

Leon looked at the young man kneeling on the ground in front of him, looked at the military medal representing glory on his chest, and a wave of anger welled up in his heart for no reason, although Germany has failed, Germany will never fail!

Leon whispered to the young man, "Stand up, soldier. ”

The soldiers on the ground did not obey Leon's orders, but looked at him with impatient eyes.

The anger could no longer be controlled: "Stand up! Soldier! Leon roared.

The young man's body trembled, and something else seemed to gradually appear in his eyes.

He quickly stood up and stood in a standard military posture, Leon's anger subsided, feeling that the soldier in front of him was a little funny, but still reprimanded: "My name is Leon, and I am a major general of the Wehrmacht. You remember me, even if it was once, you can't forget that you were a soldier! German soldiers never kneel! Then he took out a handful of banknotes from his pocket, stuffed them into him without counting them, and then turned away, perhaps he had his own difficulties, after all, he was once a proud German soldier.

The soldier paused for a moment, hurriedly caught up with Leon, stuffed the money back to Leon, and said seriously: "Mr. Major General, I can't ask for it, and the German soldiers won't accept handouts!" ”

Leon was a little surprised, then smiled and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The soldier replied loudly: "Ludwig SchrΓΆder!" ”

Leon was a little interested: "You don't want to accept handouts? So what do you want? ”

The soldier unexpectedly replied: "Pick up the gun again!" ”

Leon's heart skipped a beat, and it felt strange, the beggar didn't want money but a gun, could he have been sent by Albert? Could it have been sent by Hindenburg? Leon was not sure, and asked tentatively: "It's a time of peace, the gun won't be used to kill the enemy anymore, it will make you dirty, have you ever thought about it?" Leon swore that if he answered the question, he would definitely pull out his gun and empty a magazine on him!

"After thinking about it, what you just said woke me up, German soldiers don't kneel and beg, we only use guns to earn what we want." The soldier hesitated to reply, "I'm ready to get myself dirty!" ”

Leon was stunned for a moment, he seemed to see a lion in the eyes of a soldier, a black lion hiding in the shadows! Leon smiled and turned to walk down the street where the War Department was located, knowing that the soldiers would follow.

Lyon Office of the Ministry of Operations. Leon asked Ludwig to wait outside, and then called the Army Registration Office in the office and asked them to check Ludwig's information.

Lyon was now the de facto leader of the Wehrmacht, although the nominal supreme commander was Field Marshal Hindenburg.

Orders given by the Supreme Commander were always carried out as quickly as possible, and it didn't take long for the sorted materials to be sent to Lyon's office. Leon looked at the information carefully, the corners of his mouth slowly rose, Ludwig was indeed fine, Leon also understood why he seemed so decadent at first, yes, he lived alone in a class, and he would collapse if he was himself.

Ludwig was nervous, he was afraid that Lyon would abandon him after deep thought.

"Ludwig? Leon lets you in. Leon's assistant came out of the door and conveyed the orders of the people in the office, "Oh, my name is Sophia, and we may be colleagues in the future." The assistant named Sophia smiled at Ludwig before he went in.

"Ludwig, I may be a little verbose, but I'll ask you one more thing." Leon looked at the young man in front of him and said slowly, "Are you sure you want to follow me?" You have to know that I have more German blood in my body than people from other countries, and you may be like me. ”

Ludwig looked at Leon and said slowly: "Sir, when I didn't retire, a total of 48 people were sacrificed in our class. Originally, there were only 39 of them, but when they surrendered, the squad leader couldn't look at the French insulting our military flag, and rushed up to grab it, but they were killed. The other brothers rushed up with the squad leader, and I was supposed to die with them, but I was scared. Later I regretted it, so I didn't want to go home, and I asked my fellow soldiers to tell my family that I had died in battle. So, sir, the original Ludwig is dead, and they died with the squad leader, and all the members of our squad died in battle. ”

Leon nodded, picked up a thick stack of materials from his desk and handed it to Ludwig, saying, "This is all the information on your activities in Germany after the war." Then he took out a death notice and put it on the top of the information, and continued: "This is the proof of your 'death', send him to your family when you think about it, and I will send someone to explain to them why they received the notice so late, and I will give them money every year for your family and the other families of 48 people, so that they don't have to worry about living problems." Get ready to come here tomorrow and I'll give you a new identity, a new mission. With that, he left the office.

Ludwig looked at the stack of documents, but he was actually looking at himself. Slowly pulled a lighter and cigarette out of his pocket, lit it, took a puff, then lit the materials and threw them into the brazier in the office. While watching "himself" gradually be burned to ashes, he took out the book with the names of 49 people from his intimate pocket, flipped through the pages one by one, and finally took a hard puff of cigarette, drew a cross representing death behind the name of "Ludwig Schroeder" on the last page, and then threw the cigarette lighter and notebook into the brazier, and walked out of the office without looking back with his death notice.

"You've killed another man." Sophia leaned against the entrance of the war department, apparently waiting for Leon, who had just come out.

Leon shook his head: "He actually died a long time ago, as he said, at the time of surrender." Then he looked at Sophia and said, "Did Lieutenant General Strauss scold you when you went home?" ”

Sophia sneered, "You still care about me." No, he didn't scold me, just told me to let me come back and continue to be your secretary, he said he was old and it was time to retire. Then he pulled the wind-blown hair from his ears and continued, "Thank you for not hurting him." I know that Field Marshal Hindenburg will definitely let you get rid of him once and for all. ”

Leon waved his hand: "He is also my benefactor, without him I am still an ordinary ......" Leon was half stunned, because Sophia kissed him quickly with a red face, and then ran away.

Leon touched the face of being kissed, this is the first time in his life that he has been kissed by a girl, that's right, Xia Wen in the previous life was a decrepit boy who had never been in love, let alone been kissed.

Leon laughed stupidly twice, completely unruly in the face of the enemy, and then quickly returned to his previous iceberg face.

If anyone saw the scene just now, they would definitely be surprised that this demon who had mastered the entire Wehrmacht at the age of 24 also had human feelings.
