As Hoffmann's agent, Zhou Nan only needs to keep an eye on all kinds of materials sent from Germany, including the northern occupation zone, make accounts, and then make sure that the goods and accounts are consistent.

Since his injuries have not yet healed, he does not need to run between the office and the warehouse, and his work is relatively easy, so he can still enjoy a leisurely life every day, and only need to spare an hour to deal with his work.

It also gives him plenty of time to consult information and enjoy the beauty of the Dutch countryside in the woods.

On 29 April, the German Commander-in-Chief, General Christy Jansen, issued an order ordering all former non-commissioned officers of the Dutch armed forces to report for detention in a prisoner-of-war camp in Germany, which caused a new crisis.

The next day, the Dutch government in London broadcast an appeal to those concerned to resist the order: "No registration...... Ignore their summons. Try to make them not find you! ”

In view of this dangerous sentiment among the Dutch people, the military administration proclaimed martial law throughout the Netherlands that evening, imposing a curfew, and other restrictions on freedom of movement, punishable by death.

From 2 to 6 May, at least 21 Dutch people were sentenced to death for participating in strikes or other crimes. Governor Seth Inquart hinted at in February the work of a general mobilization of Dutch labour. According to a decree of 6 May 1943, all men between the ages of 18 and 35 were to be registered for compulsory servitude, as were all students who had not signed the declaration of allegiance.

On May 13, American, British, and French armies launched an offensive in Tunisia, and German and Italian armies failed in Africa.

At Zhou's side, the German police chief Rautel issued a notice to confiscate all radio equipment, its accessories and parts, whether in private homes or in stores. On 15 May, martial law was lifted, but the provisions on forced labour and confiscation of radio equipment remained in place.

On the same day, Seth Inquart issued a decree aimed at passive resistance in the work of the government, punishing those who caused serious administrative sabotage with hard labour for life or the death penalty.

The situation seemed to be getting more and more serious, but Zhou Nan felt that there was a light in front of him. Because all these signs confirmed that his dream seemed to be real. In fact, he couldn't tell if it was a dream or another life for him.

He saw this as a reparation for him by the Dao Venerable, making up for the pain he had experienced in his miserable life in his dreams. This also made him pay more and more attention to the two boxes of Taoist scriptures in his room, and even with a sense of piety.

In his previous life, he had always considered himself a Taoist disciple rather than a Taoist disciple. Although it was Taoism that gave him a bowl of rice to eat, and finally gave him a stable life, it was because of his generation and age, and his contribution to the preservation of Taoist scriptures. Even his nephew, the master of the sect, thought he was a fake Taoist.

The Laoshan faction belongs to the Quanzhen Longmen faction, and is also known as the Jinshan faction because of the grandfather Sun Xianqing's nickname Jinshan Zhenren. The Taoist priests of the Longmen sect are good at exorcism and demon hunting, suppressing zombies, cursing curses, traditional Chinese medicine, leyline feng shui, internal kung fu, etc., among which the two methods of leyline feng shui and traditional kung fu are diverted to the bandit organization, forming a faction of Jieling wrestlers.

However, as the twenty-first generation descendant of the highest generation, Zhou Nan does not know the spell of the talisman, does not know how to pray for Jiao, can be sparse feng shui, Chinese medicine does not enter the stream, only the internal kung fu of strengthening the body seems to be practiced well, although he suffered many serious injuries, but still lived to be ninety-five years old.

In addition to playing a good flute, being able to draw a good hand and write a good hand, Zhou Nan is not good at the traditional skills of Taoism.

However, with Zhou Nan's qualifications, there are not many people who can test him, but a good painting and a good handwriting can become a signboard for the propaganda of the Laoshan faction. It is also for this reason that the younger generations are holding him, and his life in his later years can be regarded as free.

Zhou Nan also tested his skills in the room, Dao Zun is on it, although it is learned in a dream, but these advantages are also perfectly presented in reality.

Now, now that it has been confirmed that everything in the dream is real and will happen, Zhou Nan is also secretly planning to change his fate.

Arriving in Germany at the end of '38, Hitler's nationalist policy completely cut off Zhou Nan's idea of becoming a German citizen, which even Hoffmann had no choice but to do.

But because of this, Zhou Nan didn't need to join the army, and he didn't need to be driven to the battlefield to die. But he doesn't have a European identity yet, which makes it difficult for him to move on the continent.

At present, Western Europe is almost completely controlled by the Germans, Britain cannot go across a strait, Eastern Europe is full of wars, and now it can only be sent to death, and throughout the entire European continent, only one Switzerland is still independent.

Therefore, Zhou Nan's first purpose now is to obtain Swiss nationality.

Switzerland has never been a country of immigrants, but the Switzerland of today is not the Switzerland of later generations. In the future of Switzerland, even if you are a billionaire and buy Hengsan in Switzerland, it will take at least ten years to become a real Swiss.

Until the end of World War II, Switzerland was an exporter of immigrants rather than an importer. Before 1900, Switzerland was a poor rural area, and the Swiss did everything possible to emigrate to other countries, and Argentina in South America was the favorite place for the Swiss.

In the 20th century, the Swiss economy gradually developed, but the two world wars made the Swiss feel insecure about their surroundings.

Zhou Nan arrived in Italy in 38 and crossed through Switzerland from Italy to Germany. On the way, I also met countless Swiss people who were running to South America in order to escape the war.

However, just looking at his yellow skin, wanting to immigrate to Switzerland is not something he can do now, and this thing still needs Hoffmann's operation to do.

As for money, Zhou Nan is not lacking.

When he left Germany, he was almost penniless, because he had left all his money to Hoffmann's wife, Caroline.

Zhou Nan has the concept of Chinese thrift since ancient times, and he can't spend it even if he has money now. Because throughout the German occupation zone of Europe, food rationing was practiced.

This is similar to the system that was later implemented in China, everything must be supplied by ticket, and it is meticulous down to the daily ration of each person. Because it's not a monthly settlement, you can't get a month's ration all at once, just one day at a time.

So, on the streets, people can be seen lining up for a long time after work every day to receive the day's food.

Zhou Nan's salary was one hundred and twenty imperial marks per month, and he was basically saved. Since there was no import and export at this time, and there was no foreign currency exchange, the actual purchasing power of the Reichsmark is difficult to calculate, but in Germany, three marks are equivalent to one gram of gold, that is, Zhou Nan's monthly salary is forty grams of gold.

This income is not high among Germans, because the minimum salary of a soldier is 110 marks, but in terms of the income equivalent to a woman, Zhou Nan's income is not low at all. Comparing the income of the Dutch, Zhou Nan is even happier, because they work ten hours a day and earn less than 50 marks a month.

In addition to the salary, Zhou Nan also had a part of the shares given by Hoffman, which were the money left by his father Zhou Dazhuang, and Hoffman invested in Zhou Nan, accounting for 20% of Hoffman's business.

As for Zhou Dazhuang's money, it was snatched from the Japanese. It was also because too many Japanese were killed, and in the end, the Japanese army came back, and Zhou Dazhuang was caught by the Japanese and shot directly.

Zhou Nan looked at the account book, not counting the shares, and his deposit also exceeded five thousand marks, which is also a huge amount of money, because according to the current exchange ratio, this is the value of 1,600 grams of gold.

This money is enough for him to buy a house in Switzerland and settle down, but Zhou Nan has not yet thought about what he will live on in the future.

It was still the war years, and life everywhere was relatively poor, mainly because of the lack of materials, and there was no money to buy things.

Don't think about selling paintings, because there is no market for the landscape ink paintings he is good at. Do you rely on selling tunes? Who wants to spend money on tunes now? What's more, Zhou Nan is only familiar with some light music, while in Europe, only symphonies are worth a little money.

Come to think of it, this matter still has to fall to Hoffman. Even if he wants to leave, Zhou Nan has to pull all the Hoffman family up. has lived with them for 20 years, and Zhou Nan has long regarded himself and them as a family, and there is no reason to ignore them.

The more he thought about it, the more troubled he became, and the fact that he had been eating and waiting for decades in his dreams made him feel that his current brain seemed to have degenerated.

John, as if sensing his master's annoyance, whimpered, struggled to his feet, leaned over him, and rubbed his head between his legs.

Zhou Nan smiled pleasantly, rubbing its head and combing its hair along its black back.

John is a German wolf dog who has been with him for four years, and he has been trained by Zhou Nan himself since the full moon, and he is Zhou Nan's most loyal friend. In the dream, he was taken to prison, and he had been guarding outside the prison at first, but then disappeared. Zhou Nan always believed that it was a well-wisher who took it in, not that it was beaten to death by others to eat meat.

This time, it was blown up in a car with Zhou Nan, and Zhou Nan injured his head, but it was smashed by the car when he jumped out of the car window and injured his front leg. Thankfully, neither of them was too badly hurt. A year after the dream, it helped Zhou Nan find Hoffmann's body in the woods of Antwerp, more than a hundred kilometers away.

Zhou Nan looked at its wound, the trauma was almost healed, but the leg bone was broken, and it would take some time for it to recover.

At this time, the sirens sounded again in the southern city of Arnhem, but everyone was used to it. Zhou Nan looked at the desk calendar on his desk, today is May 16, Sunday.

The wound on the head is almost healed, and as long as you don't touch it, you don't feel it. He thought for a moment, got up and took some sausages and cans from the food box, and prepared to go to the city to see his little friend.
