Chapter 144: Winter is Coming

Although Zhou's appointment has attracted a lot of attention in Switzerland, it is a matter of course for other countries. It would be a surprise if Switzerland did not do so.

At present, the most eye-catching international court is not Switzerland, but the Nuremberg Trial Tribunal, which is ready to close.

After a year-long trial, the East and West finally reached an agreement on the trial of the Nazis, sentencing a total of twenty-two war criminals and six organizations, including the German Cabinet.

Among them, there is the former Dutch governor Seth Inquart, whom Zhou Nan is more familiar with.

Seth Inquart, who always appears as a well-mannered intellectual, has a very different personality from the image he gives people. Beneath his polite exterior, there is nationalism in his blood and cold exclusivism in his thoughts.

He was finally sentenced to death by hanging for the great crimes he had committed during the war, and he was much tougher than Goering, and did not choose to appeal, but accepted the verdict directly.

The Nuremberg verdict on 1 October attracted the attention of the whole world. And on this day, Zhou Nan, accompanied by a number of entourages, quietly came to the Soviet embassy near the Bern Zoo.

Although Zhou Nan's trip to the Soviet Union was a private act, it originated from the copyright-for-grain agreement between him and the Soviet Union. But when the strongman leader extended an invitation to him through the embassy, he was already in a public office, and the trip was given other meanings.

If he wanted to go to the Soviet Union, it was no longer a simple private trip, but had to be arranged through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and he had to arrange an official status and a righteous excuse for his trip.

Because of the follow-up to the Nuremberg Trials, the Eastern and Western authorities formed an official document on sanctions against Germany. Switzerland, as a neutral country, was also assigned an observer to witness the implementation of the sanctions.

After consultations between the Swiss Foreign Ministry and the Soviet Embassy, Zhou Nan, as a representative of Switzerland, will go to the Soviet Union to visit a number of prisons in the Soviet Union and inspect the survival of German war criminals.

However, this is just an identity, Zhou Nan will not participate in specific affairs, and will attend a series of activities at most.

But with this official status, Zhou Nan no longer had any worries about his personal safety when he went to the Soviet Union.

After arranging these affairs, Zhou Nan went into retreat at home, waiting for the delegation's unified travel arrangements, while busy translating the Chinese text.

Although he had translated many intermittently before, until now he had only translated the first volume of the General History of the World.

He's alone, with a pen, and that's too slow. At times like these, he always misses the computers of later generations.

Although his hand speed is not fast because of his age, he can type fifty or sixty words a minute, which is faster than writing with a pen, and he will not get tired easily.

……

……

After a month of futile maneuvering, Stolko finally determined that he was counting on himself that it was impossible for the grain to be shipped to Germany.

Because the Soviets simply did not prioritize this matter. And after the news of Zhou Nan's appointment to the Swiss Federal Council reached the Soviet Union, their enthusiasm was even lower.

Stolko also contacted many previous relationships, but the previous promises turned into lies. No one else should take this to it, and the metaphors in the words are all above the meaning, and they are helpless.

As a politician, Stolko certainly did not act rashly because of such an encounter, because politics is a discipline of mutual compromise and balance.

There are no emotions in it, only naked, naked, naked interests.

After many efforts failed, he could only return to Moscow from Kiev.

This matter can still only be solved in Moscow, but it can't be solved, and Jonas is coming over soon.

"Jonas, you must be careful when you go to the Soviet Union, everyone says that the Soviets are inhumane."

Looking at the worry on Audrey's face, Zhou Nan couldn't help laughing and reached out to hold her in his arms. "How can it be so serious as you say, don't listen to those nonsense on the radio. The struggle between the East and the West is only different in terms of ideology, and it is related to human nature, but it is not only human nature, but also the system and environment. You go to school at home, maybe I'll be back when you go to Paris to promote. ”

Audrey was particularly reluctant to give him up and hugged his waist tightly. "Promise me that you will send me a telegram every day, or I will be so worried that I will not be able to sleep."

"Okay, I promise you, you have to listen to your mother, don't always talk to her, everything she does is for your good. Even if you can't stand her ways, don't argue with her directly. ”

"I know......" She secretly glanced at her mother not far away, turned her head and laughed in a low voice: "Anyway, she will live in Paris for a long time from next month, and I will be liberated." ”

"And me!" Zhou Nan smiled and scratched the tip of her nose. "You have to take acting classes well, and when I come back, I will check your learning effect, if you don't study well, don't blame me for punishing you......"

She didn't know what she remembered, her expression became timid, and she scolded softly shyly: "Big villain......"

Sitting on the speedboat, several women waved their hands reluctantly. Zhou Nan also waved his hand to them, and said to Glewin, "Let's sail." ”

The speedboat swept through a herringbone wave on the calm water, growing larger and larger, and finally calming down.

Zhou Nan greedily looked at the beautiful scenery around him, as if he wanted to engrave these in his heart. It's already October, and when he returns, winter in Lucerne will come again.

On this trip, although Zhou Nan waited for the people of the observation group to set off together, he was a day ahead of schedule. He was to take the opportunity to meet Yannick in Wolfsburg and then join up with the rest of the army in Berlin.

Even so, Zhou Nan was accompanied by seven people, in addition to Etinny and two guards, as well as Halder and two Russian translators, as well as a liaison officer from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The post-war society was still unstable, and Popler and they easily won the power to carry guns across borders, and with them by their side, Zhou Nan did not have to worry about his safety.

The two Russian translators were not arranged by the government, but were hired by Zhou Nan at his own expense. Because of political reasons, Zhou Nan did not dare to hire Russian personnel, so he could only select two Russian-speaking people from among the Swiss nationals, and they could only cope with the use.

There are many people in the Soviet Union who can speak German, but it is said that the strongman can only speak a little Persian and English in addition to Georgian and Russian, and if Zhou Nan has the opportunity to communicate with him, I am afraid that he will still need a professional translator.

Board the train from Lucerne and transfer to the train to Hamburg in Zurich. Zhou Nan's carriage was in the last berth, and at the rear, and no one would disturb them except for two Swiss policemen.

On the train, the eight of them just occupied a full row of sleepers. Zhou Nan sat down at the small table, opened the first volume of "General History of the World", and continued his translation work.

The others didn't bother him, and even when they spoke, they spoke softly.

By the time the train entered Germany, it was already dark. The carriage was darkened, and the dinner served on the train was very simple, just bread and mushroom soup, but no one cared about it at this time.

The lights in his carriage were on until eleven o'clock, and Zhou Nan packed up his books, simply washed his face, opened the bed and went to sleep.

Popler slept next to him, but he slept on the top bunk on the train, and at this time he just sat on the outside of Zhou Nan, ready for the vigil.

Although he is just an ordinary person, he also knows very well how heavy Zhou Nan's weight is and how heavy his responsibilities are. Especially since this trip was to a huge country that could be called the other pole of the world, and he and Flegg had discussed at the beginning that they would increase the level of protection when they went out this time.

Although Zhou Nan slept in the position of two people alone, he did not sleep well this night. Without Audrey by his side, he couldn't sleep well, and on the rocking train, it was also a reason.

When it was getting dark, he slept uncomfortably and sat up. I looked at my watch, it was already seven o'clock in the morning, but it was still very gloomy outside, and it seemed to be a cloudy day.

"Where?"

"It's almost Hildesheim, and it's an hour and a half drive from Hanover."

I didn't sleep all night, but Popler's spirit was still very good, only a layer of oil on his face that had stayed up all night. Zhou Nan touched his face, the same is true, but it is very troublesome to wash his face at this time, Zhou Nan just wiped his face with a dry towel, got up and put on his shoes, and started to do push-ups in the aisle near the back of the car.

Although the injury on his left arm seemed to be healed, he still couldn't exert his strength. So he was doing push-ups with one hand, fifty in a row, and his right arm felt numb and sore, and then stopped.

Then there were zama steps and squats, and he didn't stop his morning workout until his whole body was hot.

Ettyney and Popler had become accustomed to Zhounan's daily workouts, but Hyder and the others were like monkeys. When Zhou Nan finished exercising, he couldn't help but ask, "Jonas, can you exercise like this?" ”

Zhou Nan nodded, this kind of aerobic exercise without physical load is only liked by the elderly and women in Europe, and here men prefer the kind of anaerobic exercise that builds muscle and explosive power.

Of course, neither anaerobic nor aerobic exercise has yet to be classified. But exercises like Zhou Nan, in their opinion, are all practiced by girls.

They prefer to hold their breath and swim far in the water, carry a log and toss it hard, or take out the strength to eat milk and compete with a cow.

The train slowly drove into Hannover, and when you were in the countryside, you couldn't see any changes in Germany, but when you saw the ruined city, you would know that it was much more decayed than it was a few years ago.

The wiped glass began to atomize again, and Etinny handed over a woolen coat and said, "Jonas, put on the coat." I've heard that it's snowing in Poland and it's cold here in Germany. ”

"yes, winter is coming."

(It's very difficult to write, and I still haven't thought about a new plot after going to the USSR.) This was originally the end of the second volume, Xiao Gao, tide, I don't want to become a wilting brother...... )
