Hannover is a well-known transportation hub in Europe and was once Germany's main tertiary industry base. Thus, in World War II, it was bombed almost indiscriminately by the Allies, and two-thirds of the city was destroyed.

Sitting on the train, you can see the ruins of bombed-out houses everywhere that have not been cleaned up, and the sightly ruins of the city stand tall in the city.

As soon as Zhou Nan got off the train, he shivered from the oncoming cold wind and buttoned up his coat.

Before he could buckle up, Yannick was seen beckoning to the other side of the platform railing with Caroline and Leon. Leon climbed over the railing, ignored the shouts of the station staff, and ran as fast as he could. "Brother Jonas, my parents and I got up at six o'clock today, just to come and pick you up."

Zhou Nan smiled and gently slapped him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I didn't sleep until I slept too late, do you want to make up for it?" I brought you a quartz watch, which Audrey picked out for you. ”

He jumped up happily and grabbed Zhou Nan's arm. "I've wanted to have a watch for a long time...... Ah, your hurt ......"

Zhou Nan laughed and reached out to punch him again. "You're pulling your right hand, of course it's fine."

came to the exit position, Caroline pulled Zhou Nan, who had almost recovered, and was reluctant to let go, and kept asking about the separation of this time.

Yannick beckoned to the others and invited a couple of old smokers to smoke a cigarette next to the platform, and then came back to liberate Zhou Nan.

Zhou Nan didn't know that Caroline's mother had become such a verbose person, this kind of spell was really a happy trouble.

However, after a short period of silence, the group got into a bus specially driven by Yannick, and Caroline, who was sitting next to Zhou Nan, started again.

She asked endless questions, and she almost had to ask all the things that happened during the time she was separated from Zhou Nan. It's nothing, the scary thing is that some questions are not enough for her to ask once, she has to ask a second time, a third time.

Before Zhou Nan could say that he had said it once, she asked, "I forgot, but don't you want to say it a second time?" ”

Well, looking at Leon's snickering and the fiery Yannick who deliberately chatted with other people, he could only accept his fate.

He actually knows, it may be that Caroline's mother knows that he is out of breath now, and feels that she was not good enough for him before, so she wants to make up for it now. But now it's a bit too much, and I'm not used to it. If it weren't for the fact that she was still young, Zhou Nan wondered if she had reached menopause.

The noise of the bus is very loud, and although the engine at the front of the car is covered by a large cover, it is not soundproof.

The sound in the carriage was a little quieter than the sound of the tractor, but everyone was used to it, and they spoke loudly one by one.

Fortunately, Caroline felt that it was too unladylike to talk like this, so she let Zhou Nan go.

The car drove east along Route 188, and large areas of fields were deserted, and many figures could be seen rummaging through the fields.

A little more than an hour later, the car arrived at the Wolfsburg Palace, in the triangle between the Alel River and the Sino-German Canal, where the Volkswagen factory was located.

Zhou Nan has never been here, from the moment he arrived in Germany, he went to Hamburg, then to the Netherlands, and neither the central nor the eastern.

Even in another life, when he came to Germany in the eighties and nineties, the plane went directly to Frankfurt, not to Berlin.

Still, he recognized Volkswagen's factory at a glance, because the four large chimneys of their power plant and foundry were so famous.

Leon, who had only been here for less than a month, had a playful introduction to his surroundings, and it was clear that life had been much easier during this time, and he had regained his former liveliness.

Yannick came to Volkswagen and brought only Leon and Caroline, whose house in Leverkusen was not sold, and Villa and Claudio still live there.

Vera works for the pharmaceutical factory union and now has a foundation for her career. Claudio, who is going to have a baby, will move here once he has settled down in his home.

She was a child herself, and Manfred, as a journalist, didn't have much time to take care of her, and Caroline had to take care of them in the end.

The car passed through the factory on the east side of the factory, through the canal, and into the workers' quarters. Caroline said: "Your father has been busy with the affairs of the factory all day, and the new house has not been cleaned up yet, and when it is done, I will send you a telegram and go home for a while." ”

Zhou Nan nodded and said, "Kelly doesn't know how to make noodles, I don't have time to make them myself, and I miss my mother's hand-rolled noodles now." ”

Caroline said happily: "Then I'll make you a separate pot at noon, so that you can eat enough." …… This is the trade union building, where several workers' organizations are located, and our new home is on the west side of the building by the lake, which is not as beautiful as your Swiss home, but not bad. ”

Zhou Nan's eyes looked at the scenery outside, and everything was fresh. The construction of the trade union building is no worse than the factory office buildings just now, like a courtyard-style castle.

Bypassing the union building, there is a small lake on the left-hand side, about the size of a large pond. The lake is surrounded by dense forests, and there are dormitories outside.

This is surrounded by a staff building in the middle, with a lake, a forest, and a lawn, like a park.

The Hoffman family's new home is a high-end villa by the lake and is heavily defended. Caroline said: "This city was planned by the head of state, and this building was specially built by him and used to live. Now we have bought it, and it is enough for our family. ”

It turned out that Hetler had come to live in the past, and it was understandable that the defense was so tight.

The car drove directly into the yard, but I didn't expect that there were still a few people waiting for them in the yard. Seeing Zhou Nan's strange expression, Caroline said again: "The one in the middle wearing a military uniform is Major General Ivan Hurst of the British Army, and next to him is Colonel Radkarafey, who is a British official who specializes in coordinating the business of Volkswagen's factory. There are also a few high-ranking representatives of the factory, and they should all be here to greet you. ”

Caroline said proudly, but Zhou Nan was only bored. He came here to see his family and talk to Yannick about some future plans, but these people couldn't talk about anything here.

And he is going to Berlin this evening, because early tomorrow morning, he will be on the train to Moscow.

It's still a three-hour drive from Berlin, and I'd rather get a good night's sleep than wake up and drive for hours as soon as I get up.

So the initial decision was to stay here for a day, and at 6 p.m. there would be a train to Berlin via Wolfsburg, which was slower than a car, but safe.

So Yannick had already bought tickets for this trip for them in advance, and he could only stay here at most...... There are only eight hours left.

Major General Ivanhurst held great power here, controlling the lives and deaths of countless Germans. But in the UK, he is only a marginal figure.

Zhou Nan can talk directly to the king, drink with the prime minister, ride a horse with the duke, and party with the princess. He has more contact with the level than this major general, and this is also well known to this major general, so there is no slightest arrogance in front of him.

Zhou Nan didn't care about them, but was very interested in the somewhat emaciated old Polshe. It's a pity that there is no time now, otherwise, he directly drew the Porsche 911 of later generations, and I don't know if he can shock this car fanatic.

After the greetings, Ivan Hirst directly invited Zhou Nan to visit the Volkswagen factory.

At present, Volkswagen's factories have not yet produced cars, but production has basically started to run. The first car will roll off the assembly line next month at the latest.

If Zhou Nan can say a few kind words for him in front of the king or the prime minister because of this matter, it will be more useful than saying a hundred words to him.

However, Zhou Nan refused without hesitation. "General Hearst, as much as I would love to visit the Volkswagen factory, I would like to arrange it on my return from the Soviet Union. With eight hours to go before I leave Wolfsburg, I just want to be with Caroline's mother and enjoy the time that is so precious to me. ”

Ivan Hurst was not dissatisfied, because Zhou Nan had promised to visit when he returned. At that time, the car rolled off the assembly line, and he said a few good words in the media, which would have a better effect than now.

He smiled and said: "Since this is the case, I will not hinder the reunion of your family, and when you return from the Soviet Union, I will invite you to the headquarters as a guest, and I will have a bottle of pure Scotch whisky there." ”

"It's a great honor, thank you for having me. I'll also bring back a few cases of the best vodka, just don't know, can we stand that high alcohol content......"

He laughed, without the majesty of a general, and quipped, "I am also good at making cocktails." ”

Zhou Nan shook his hand and said, "I'm looking forward to it now." ”

He, the one who took the lead, will leave, and of course the others will not stay. Zhou Nan originally wanted to talk to Polshe, but unfortunately it was not a good opportunity at this time, so he let them leave.

Seeing them off, Caroline immediately busied with the people Zhou Nan had brought. Helde returned as if he were home, helping to greet the guests, and Yannick said directly, "Jonas, let's go for a walk by the lake." ”

Zhou Nan nodded, and said to Popler and Flleg, who were about to stand up: "If we don't go out, you don't have to follow." ”

Flegg paused, but Popler insisted, "Please let us go out and check first, and then leave one person to protect at a distance." From the moment you leave Switzerland, we can't let you out of our sight except in the room. ”

Zhou Nan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I'm not a prisoner!" ”

"Jonas, listening to others and following the right decisions of professionals is a good character," Yannick said. ”

Zhou Nan shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Yannick, you have the final say." ”

Everyone else also laughed, and now except for Yannick, few people can teach Zhou Nan a lesson directly.

(Tomorrow to the USSR, no more delays...... Let's write and think...... ）
