Back in his room, Zhou Nan ate dinner unwillingly, asked Kelly to help him change the medicine, and sat at the desk. Now that the events in the dream have been confirmed, it's time for him to take action. Putting away the sheet music and novels on his desk, he took out a pen and a stack of papers, and began to list his plans.

On his own, he could not travel to Switzerland, which was like an isolated island, and without Hoffmann's help, he would not be able to survive in xenophobic Switzerland, so the first task now was to seek Hofmann's support.

However, it was not easy to convince Hoffman. Steady and tenacious, Hoffman has his own stable worldview and way of behaving. And in his mind, he is a kind, gentle, music-loving romantic, and if he wants to accept his opinion, he must have a complete set of plans.

What's more, Zhou Nan not only wants to survive on his own, but also wants to leave the Netherlands with Audrey. After the Allied landings in Normandy next year, the environment in Western Europe is no longer safe. After Operation Market Garden, the Allies regained the southern part of the Netherlands, but the entire northern part of the Netherlands was turned into hell by the German retaliation.

From October '44 to April '45, the Germans' plan for the Winter of Hunger plunged nearly five million Dutch into seven long months of misery. During these seven months, most Dutch people had only 400 grams of bread and one kilogram of potatoes per week. Beets replaced potatoes, and so-called "green bread" made from tulip bulbs was put on the table, and they had to drink water desperately to satisfy their stomachs.

The lack of food and clothing drove people from the cities to the countryside and began the journey of hunger. Hungry elderly, women and children braved rain and snow to the countryside in search of food, pushing rickety wagons on wooden wheels, many of whom never returned. Adult men were afraid to go out, and if they were discovered by the Germans, they would be in danger of being sent to the battlefield or to the German arsenal.

During these seven months, more than 22,000 people died from hunger, cold, disease, malnutrition, and other causes, more than the total number of deaths in the Netherlands other than Jews in the previous four years.

Audrey is because of the lack of food, most of the time she eats bread made of tulip bulbs, which leads to her still in puberty, she has a thin figure all her life, and there is almost no fat on her body.

Zhou Nan didn't want her to go through such a long period of torture again, he was just an ordinary person and couldn't save anyone else, but she had to save her.

He alone is a problem, and with Audrey, he can only rely on Hoffman's help. Although Zhou Nan didn't know how to immigrate to Switzerland during this period, he should still be able to do it with Hofmann's personal connections.

Moreover, it should be sooner rather than later. Now Germany occupies almost all of Europe, and all theaters of war are invincible. By the time of next year, the war situation in North Africa and Eastern Europe would suddenly change, and it would be even more difficult to leave.

So, what to rely on to convince Hoffman?

In the name of security? But today, when Great Germanism prevailed, no one would have believed that two years later Germany would be defeated almost at the rate of collapse, because until the beginning of the 45th century, Britain and the United States could not believe that they could defeat Germany.

In the name of preserving wealth? Most of the current Hoffman family's wealth, except for fixed assets, has been invested in this war, and has become a military ticket, which can only be exchanged for funds when the war is over.

Zhou Nan felt that he couldn't come up with a reason to impress Hoffman. When you get out of the maze of history, everyone knows what choice to make, but when everyone is caught in the maze of history, it is difficult for any reason to stand. What he thought was the right choice, in Hoffman's view, was, perhaps, just nonsense.

The time was late at night, and Zhou Nan, who was overusing his brain, felt that the wound on the back of his head began to hurt again. He opened the window and let the refreshing cool breeze blow on his body, and the moonlight outside the window was bright, and under the bright moonlight, a team of patrolmen could be seen patrolling along the road.

Seeing his movements, John got up from his kennel and rubbed his head against his thigh. Zhou Nan squatted down, hugged John's head, and stroked it gently.

In this world, there are not many people who are willing to fully believe in themselves, and there are not many people who can fully believe in themselves, but Hoffman is definitely one. He is like a kind father, who raised himself from a young age, taught himself all kinds of knowledge, and taught himself to be a man. So, what else can't you trust him?

Although everything in the dream was too magical to believe, Zhou Nan could find enough evidence to confirm it. So, what's wrong with revealing a little bit of information to Hoffman appropriately?

What's more, he also knew that he was not a qualified businessman, but Hoffman was. I want to live a life like a rice worm like now, and I have to rely on him to make money.

Reveal some dream situations to him, and with Hoffman's ability, he will definitely become a world-famous businessman after the war. And he can still hide under his wings and live the life he wants to live.

After figuring it out, Zhou Nan felt that his heart, which had been suppressed for almost half a month, suddenly became cheerful. Yes, if his abilities were known to others now, they would certainly be exploited. But Zhou Nan believed that Hoffman would not, because he had long regarded himself as like his son, and he knew this, and he would only protect himself better.

After thinking clearly, Zhou Nan began to think about revealing some news to him now. Before the defeat of Germany, he could not tell him everything without reservation, because he was afraid that Hoffmann's heroic ideas would explode and he was willing to give his life for Germany.

With the exception of a few people in a specific position, the influence of individual power on the war is too small. If Hoffmann had been the commander-in-chief of an army group, if he had been an important leader of the German army, perhaps his knowledge would have had a greater impact on the war.

But he is just a businessman, and even if he knows the direction of these histories, it is impossible to change the status quo, and it will only put him in a more contradictory situation.

Suddenly there was a voice at the door, and the tall Kelly almost blocked the door completely. Seeing that Zhou Nan was still playing with John, a gentle smile also appeared on her face. "Jonas, it's time to sleep."

Zhou Nan smiled and asked, "Kelly, if I want to settle in Switzerland, are you willing to go with me?" ”

Kelly paused for a moment, looked back, and immediately walked in, then quickly closed the door. He lowered his voice and asked, "Jonas, why are you leaving here?" ”

"It's just a plan of mine, I'll never be a German, so what should I do in the future?"

"Maybe it will be better after the end of the war, you have contributed to Germany......"

Zhou Nan asked in a low voice, "What if Germany is defeated?" ”

"Oh, God......" Kelly's kind face showed a wave of fear, and soon a hint of confusion appeared. She walked to Zhou Nan's side and held Zhou Nan's arm to make him stand up. "Child, as long as you need me, I am willing to be with you forever."

Zhou Nan showed a bright smile and said, "Tomorrow, I will go to Brussels tomorrow to find Hoffmann, I have a lot of things to tell him." We're going to get out of here, and I'm going to treat you like a mom forever. ”

……

……

In the early morning of Monday, there was a little more hustle and bustle than usual, and the loudspeakers in the military camp in the distance, the traffic at the door of the villa and the sound of horns made Zhou Nan wake up very early.

Although he didn't sleep for a long time, the quality of his sleep last night was good, and he felt that he was full of strength.

However, when he got out of bed and tried to move his body, the pain in the back of his head reminded him that he could not act recklessly now.

The wound on the back of his head was tugging, and he couldn't run yet, so he did fifty push-ups in a row in his room. When the wound heals, he will try to start contacting the inner kung fu that he had practiced in his dreams. In addition to strengthening the body, health preservation is also a major special effect of internal kung fu, in the dream he experienced two fatal serious injuries, and he can live to the age of ninety-five, which should be the role of internal kung fu.

And until he was 90 years old, he was still deaf and blind, and he could continue to hold a pen to draw and write, which was much stronger than others.

After breakfast, Zhou Nan came to the office. Seeing Zhou Nan's appearance, Rena smiled and said, "Good morning, Jonas, it seems that there is no too busy work for you to do right now." ”

Zhou Nan smiled and asked, "Is there a car to Brussels today?" I'd like to take a trip...... Wait a minute, I need to make a call first. ”

Picked up the phone on the table, where the signal could only go to Arnhem's telephone switchboard. "Please help me pick up the Belgian junta headquarters in Brussels."

While waiting for the connection, Julian and Lucas also walked into the office, and they greeted Rena, looking at Zhou Nan with some curiosity. The phone from Belgium was connected, and Zhou Nan didn't bother to greet the two of them, but smiled at them and said to the other party: "Please help me pick up Yannick Hoffman's office." ”

"I'm Hoffman." At last, Hoffman's somewhat distorted voice came from the other end of the line.

Zhou Nan suppressed his mood and said in the same tone as usual: "Yannick, I'm Jonas. I have a very important thing that I would like to tell you directly to your face. I don't know if you're busy today? ”

Hoffman hesitated for a moment and said, "Can't you say it on the phone?" ”

"Yes, very important. If you're busy, I'll go to Brussels and look for you directly, and of course, if you're not busy, I'd like you to drive to Antwerp and we'll meet there. ”

After a while, Hoffman's voice came from the other end of the phone. "Well, my curiosity has been piqued by you. However, if it's not a very important thing, be careful that I'll beat you up. ”
