Chapter 8: Anna's Choice

Philip asked rhetorically, "Lucas, don't you have a new love?" Is it reluctant? ”

Lucas smiled wryly, "My God! If I had, I wouldn't have gone with you. But to be honest, that Miss Nurse is really superb! And people have a deep affection for you, I advise you not to give up, bless you, my friend! ”

In the evening, Philip and Lucas invited their usually best colleagues to the tavern to say goodbye to them.

Eighteen old men, drunk in the tavern! Don't look at Philip on weekdays, he is very quiet, but he is still very open with this group of friends! It wasn't until late at night that everyone left the tavern and went back to their respective homes.

Only Philip and Lucas lived in the factory's bachelor dormitory, so they walked down the street crookedly, trying to find a taxi back to the factory, but at this time, not to mention the car, there was not even a figure on the street.

Two elongated figures staggered under the dim street lamp, and as Philip walked, he suddenly noticed a beautiful figure in front of him. Raise your drunken eyes and take a look, it is Anna who fell in love with a kiss that day! Philip couldn't help but feel a burst of joy, and even the wine woke up for three points.

Anna looked at Philip and said faintly, "Why, don't you recognize me so soon?" ”

A look of embarrassment appeared on Philip's face, and he said, "How come! Anna, why are you here? ”

Anna said quietly: "There is something going on at the hospital, so I came back late." Philip, where are you going? ”

Philip looked at Anna's delicate face, which had a hazy beauty under the faint street lamp, and was almost stunned for a while, until Lucas pinched his arm, then woke up, and said: "Anna, we are going back to the Krupp factory, but we can't find a taxi." ”

Anna showed a concerned look on her face, and said worriedly: "Philip, it's so late, where is the car, and you two are drunk and smoky, it's not safe, why don't you go to my house for a night, and then go back early tomorrow morning." ”

Philip was moved in his heart, but he didn't expect Anna to care so much about himself: "Is this appropriate? ”

Anna said: "Okay, don't stop my mother-in-law's, my house is in front, and I am the only one who lives." Let's go! ”

With that, Anna turned and walked ahead.

Lucas patted Philip, who was stunned, and said, "Philip, don't leave quickly, this is a good opportunity." ”

Philip shook his head and walked briskly forward, walking side by side with Anna.

Philip asked cautiously, "Anna, why are you alone in your house?" What about your family? ”

When Anna heard this, her beautiful eyes turned red, and she almost burst into tears, and she said with a slight cry: "Philip, do you think I am unlucky! My parents have been serving their country for more than ten years in the Far East, and they are still unable to return to their homeland. I was left alone at home, deserted, with only one servant. ”

Philip finally understood that Anna's parents might both be diplomats or intelligence agents, engaged in diplomatic or intelligence activities in China. Anna is really pitiful, although she has parents, she is no different from an orphan.

Philip comforted: "Anna, compared to me, you are actually very happy. My parents died a few years ago, and I lived alone in the Krupp Arsenal for several years, alas! It's the same end of the world! ”

Anna sighed and said, "Yes, we are really fateful, do you think this is arranged by God?" ”

As he spoke, he was already at Anna's house. Anna took out the key, opened the courtyard gate, and the three of them entered, and only after the last Lucas entered, did Anna lock the courtyard gate.

Anna entered the villa with two drunks, and Philip looked at the furnishings in the house, it seemed that Anna's family was quite rich, and if it was in the future, it would be considered a rich second generation.

Anna pointed to the two bedrooms on the ground floor and said, "These two are guest rooms, you can choose one to live in." ”

Lucas smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go to sleep first, you guys talk slowly!" After saying that, the kid flashed.

Only Anna and Philip were left in the living room.

After a long time, Philip calmly said, "Anna, I'm leaving here." Lucas and I are going to the Kingdom of Sweden. ”

Anna looked at Philip with some confusion and said, "Why?" Aren't you from the Krupp family? ”

Philip looked at Anna's beautiful face and said slowly: "It is precisely because I am from the Krupp family that I want to leave." Do you know? Our country will soon fall into the hands of a war maniac named Adolf Hitler, I don't know if you have heard of it? ”

Anna muttered, "Adolf Hitler? I've heard of this man, a politician who is good at oratory, why would you say that he is a war maniac, and our country will fall into his hands? ”

Philip said solemnly: "Hitler was a devil with all human ambitions, selfishness, malice and wisdom, he was well-read, elegant, proficient in six Chinese, could fly airplanes, he did not smoke, did not drink, did not like women, and he quickly captured a large group of believers with his unprecedented evil talent." Moreover, Germany is not only very weak militarily, but even its economic success is pale, the people have lost their faith, homosexuality, money worship and individualism have eroded the body of this once vibrant nation like a corrosive agent, Belgium, Poland, the Czech Republic and France can humiliate the weak country at will, Germany is full of discontent and despair. Therefore, the emergence of such a conspirator as Hitler, catering to the psychology of the German people, and now that he is the leader of the Nazi Party and has many believers, I believe that one day he will definitely step onto the highest political stage in Germany, and then Germany will inevitably go to the abyss of war under his dictatorship. As an arsenal like Krupp, sooner or later it would become Hitler's accomplice, so I had to leave, and Lucas and I had decided to go to the Kingdom of Sweden to start our own business. ”

Speaking of this, Philip stopped, stared at Anna with affectionate eyes, and said word by word: "Anna, will you go with me?" ”

Anna was moved by Philip's affectionate gaze, and her heart fluttered wildly, and she almost blurted out "I do", but reason told her that she couldn't agree to Philip like this.

Anna hesitated, "This ...... Philip, are you telling the truth? Is it true that our country will go to war? ”

Philip said firmly: "Anna, you have to trust me!" I will never lie to you, I know this is a little too sudden, and it is a bit abrupt to let a girl go away with two big men, but I am really good for you and for us. Think about it, it's not too late to reply to me tomorrow, we're ready to leave after tomorrow. ”

Anna muttered, "Oh well! God, what should Anna decide? ”
