When Zhang Chengtian dragged his tired body back to his officer's apartment, it was already 10 o'clock in the evening.

During this day, Zhang Chengtian first exchanged with Hitler and his entourage for no less than four hours with smiling faces. Later, he had a four-hour discussion with Myers about his future oil reserve plan.

finally ushered in the rest time, and Zhang Chengtian, who had just gotten to bed, received an urgent call from Sickert: "Come to my office immediately." ”

"Teacher, it's so late. You also know that I was tired of contacting a lot of ...... today. Zhang Chengtian sighed weakly.

"I can't tell you on the phone, anyway, you come right over. I've asked your driver, Cole, to pick you up. With that, Sickert hung up the phone in a hurry.

Zhang Chengtian stared at the telephone with dark eyes. sighed, reluctantly took off the military uniform he had just taken off from the hanger, put it on his body and walked out the door.

"Here we are." Sickert sat behind his peachwood-colored desk, gulping down on the cigar that Zhang had given him earlier.

This box of cigars was given by Krupp to Steve, who was Zhang Chengtian's deputy at the time, when Zhang Chengtian led the team to surround Krupp Manor.

After Zhang Chengtian heard about it, he immediately unreasonably got a box from Steve's hand. It is used to honor the teacher Sickert.

However, since Zhang Chengtian gave Sickert, he has never seen Sickert smoke a cigar in front of him. But today, the moment Zhang pushed open the door of Sickert's office, he asked about the rich aroma of cigars in the room.

Glancing at the ashtray on the table, Zhang Chengtian was surprised to find that Sickert, who is usually strict with himself, had already smoked 5 cigars in the office.

"Teacher, what are you ......?" asked Zhang Chengtian tentatively.

"President Albert was murdered tonight, and they secretly added potassium cyanide to the saline that the president had infusion......" Sickett spoke very quickly about what had happened tonight.

looked at Sickert, who had always been calm, but now he was a little angry and out of control. Zhang Chengtian didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only quietly listen to Sickert recount every detail he knew.

A full 20 minutes passed, and Sickert, who had finished talking about his feelings, calmed down and took out a letter and handed it to Zhang Chengtian: "Do you remember the day when the president called you out of the ward?" ”

Zhang Chengtian looked at the envelope in Sickert's hand and wondered: "Remember, did you say something alone between His Excellency the President and the teacher at that time?" ”

Sickert shook his head and said, "The president didn't talk to me about anything. He just asked me to ghostwrite, write a letter for him, and ask me to hand it over to you after he left. ”

Without answering, Zhang Chengtian just took the brand-new envelope.

Zhang Chengtian originally misunderstood that Albert left Sickert that day in order to confess some secret information. But he didn't expect that Albert's purpose was just to leave a letter for himself.

What he didn't expect was that this letter would be handed over to him so quickly.

Zhang Chengtian opened the envelope:

Major General Reinhardt, I don't know how high the rank has risen by the time you read this letter. However, whether you have reached the rank of lieutenant general or general, I hope that you can maintain a clear self-awareness.

In fact, emotionally I am very optimistic about your future, and a leader of your kind with almost extraordinary judgment is exactly what the German people need.

However, my reason tells me that you are still one of the most important hurdles away from my position.

Yes, you have talent and luck, and the talent of a prophet gives you a lot of options.

And I can see that you are actually more inclined to choose a different path.

You may want to be a wealthy businessman, or even a life-loving citizen.

However, what I see is that you have chosen another path, the road of defending your home and country!

I think it's because you also understand that after the Treaty of Versailles, there was no real peace, it was just a 30-year armistice!

War will break out again, it's an inevitability. You're preparing for this, just as you've prepared for the unexpected every time you've done before.

There is no equality, the Germans will fight for equality themselves, and we always have!

As a politician or a soldier, we can't tell when a war will begin.

But, just like the Ruhr, we can't decide when the French invade, but we decide the outcome of the campaign!

And this result is related to whether the German people can be free and equal, and determines whether the people who love life are oppressed.

I still remember listening to a young captain talk about the future of Germany in his makeshift office building in Stuttgart during the Karp riots.

In Stuttgart, the captain told me that the French would invade us soon. He also told me that sooner or later the Reichstag in Germany would be finished. He also told me that the ultimate future of Germany is bright or not that someone needs to fight for it.

Later, the French came. The former captain led a group of militia and drove the elite French troops back.

I thought, since your predictions are correct, why don't I help you anymore?

I have dissolved the Congress, and the Socialist Workers' Party has brought you to the forefront. I did everything I could, and the rest of the work was left to you young people.

I know that you are a man who loves life, and to put it bluntly, you are afraid of death.

But I want to tell you that the fear of death is not a shameful thing. Reverence for life is a common trait that everyone has.

You have a talent that many people don't have, and it took you 3 years to reach heights that many people haven't been able to reach in 30 years. It's not just an honor, it's a responsibility!

Your responsibility is not to talk about reverence for life at the muzzle of the enemy's gun.

It is your duty to make sure that the guns of the enemy can never be pointed at our people.

You are very young and you are very kind at heart. But as a soldier, as a politician, you need to learn to give up good at some point.

It may seem impersonal, but it's crucial.

To be merciful to one's enemies is to be cruel to oneself! Hindenburg, the veteran marshal who lived through the world war, knows this better than you!

I'm a failed president, and I'm probably not qualified to say that to you.

It was I who signed the infamous Treaty of Versailles, and it was I who dissolved the Congress, which symbolized the republic.

But I love Germany, I love the land, I love the grass and trees on it.

On the day of the president's inauguration, I swore that I would do everything in my power to give everything I could for this country in suffering.

Now, I can proudly say that I did. I gave all my passion, all my heart, and all my fame!

Finally, I want to ask you for my selfishness. After my death, please don't leave my name on the shame list of the history books. I hope that history will give me a fair assessment, that I have never betrayed Germany, that I have not betrayed my oath!

I value my reputation more than my life! Ironically, I lived my life with infamy. I will go to the ground with the charges on my back until someone rehabilitates me.

And the day I unloaded my infamy was the day when Germany was no longer at the mercy of others and wrote history as a victor!

Heroes belong only to the victors, and you are the hero I identify with.

So until you grow strong enough, until you learn to put away kindness when appropriate, I want you to learn these things from Hindenburg.

You're young, and you're more than me, and you're more than Hindenburg have time. Time, on the other hand, is a necessity for growth.

In you, I see your incomparably glorious future, the future of Germany!

After reading the letter, Zhang Chengtian was silent for a long, long time. He didn't expect that Albert, who has always been indifferent to infamy and accusations, actually cares about his reputation very much.

He didn't expect that this approachable old president would have such high expectations of himself.

Too much emotion turned into anger at this moment. Such a selfless president who gave everything to himself was assassinated by some selfish mongrels for their own selfish interests.

"Teacher, I will find out this group of mongrels through the Gestapo and slaughter them." Zhang Chengtian bowed to Sickert and said lightly.

Sickert, who was also very angry, frowned: "These people may not be easy to deal with, and it is very likely that some huge forces will be involved. Are you really sure you want to go? ”

"Yes." Zhang Chengtian said with a firm expression.

"Why?" As if asking himself, Sickert looked Zhang Chengtian in the eye.

"Because they deserve to be killed!" Zhang Chengtian's eyes revealed a murderous aura.

Zhang Chengtian arrogantly pulled his collar, and completely put aside mercy towards the enemy, Lao Tzu can do it!
