Chapter 129: Ideals and Beliefs

When Lynn returns to her bedroom with a simple dinner, the moonlight shines through the windows on the walls and floor, making her feel as pure as a dream.

Gently put down the plate and walk to the bedside. Dinah was awake and lay on her side, her beautiful eyes staring at the wall in the back of the room.

"Let's have something to eat!" Lynn whispered.

She didn't answer, nor did she give any response in action.

As a reward for the FΓΌhrer, she is not just a puppet who knows how to obey, she is an individual with a reading mind and personality. Lynn was aware of this from the beginning, and he expected the situation today. Sitting down on the edge of the bed, he stretched out his right hand and gently stroked Dinah's long silky hair, slowly reaching out to her handsome side face, gradually feeling the wetness on his cheeks.

"If I choose to give up today, give up my faith and my career, and take you across the ocean to a place where no one can find us, and live a peaceful and poor life, will we be happy?" Lynn asked in a calm and long tone.

For a moment, Dinah said in a tone as cold as the moonlight, "You're afraid of that kind of lifeβ€”a life without a purpose, right?" ”

Once, Lynn fantasized countless times about this kind of peaceful little man with no ambitions, at that time he only wanted to be accompanied by someone who loved each other, but everything was based on no crossing, no line of fire, and no cruel experience, and now all the premises have changed, and even he is no longer the same self he used to be.

It's a labyrinth of thought, a trap, an unsolvable problem.

"This body of mine, the blood in the veins, belongs to the Germans first, and then to the Kingdom of Denmark, and the soul in the body is a poor worm lost in time and space." Lynn said helplessly.

Dinah couldn't understand the true meaning of the words, she probably thought that it was just the other party's way of trickery, so she continued to maintain that posture without saying a word.

Lynn looked at her chocolate-colored hair from behind, and said in a very soft voice in this quiet atmosphere, "Before I met you, I had only one goal in life: to live well and live to the fullest." I thought about being a mercenary leader after the war, or setting up a big security company, or a political arms dealer, and so on. I thought I would spend the rest of my life wandering through the hot deserts of Africa or West Asia, or settling down in the turbulent Balkans, but I never expected to walk in such a way, let alone meet you in a hidden cave in the cold of Northern Europe. I'm not confident that I can give you the best life, but at least don't be on the run like I did on the Eastern Front, I hate to be on the brink of death and suffer for survival. ”

With that, the air returned to complete silence. On such a faint night with a faint sea breeze, the room was so quiet that you could hear a pin hitting the ground.

With the slight sound of the bed frame, Dinah turned to lie down, looking sideways at her husband, whom she did not know and was not united in free love, at his handsome but pale face in the moonlight, at the pair of thick eyebrows that were slightly furrowed.

"It's not your or my fault that everything was before, but why can't we start anew and choose a way of life that will bring peace to our souls?"

Looking at the pair of cherry-like red lips in one close, and the light and pleasant voice came out of it, Lynn suddenly realized that although the time was short, she had become accustomed to the young and beautiful gentle woman in front of her, and even had some attachment - perhaps further to the level of infatuation. She is so perfect, closer to a perfect score than any female surname she has ever touched in her life. Even if he is a royal family or even a leader, such a spouse is still very ideal.

"Okay!" Lynn replied, "Let's take this opportunity to have a good talk." But before that, I want you to be able to eat a little bit. My mother once taught me that only by cherishing oneself can one be qualified to cherish others. ”

Dinah's eyes twinkled with surprise, and she hesitated for a moment, then sat up.

Lynn folded the pillows behind her so she could sit reclining against the head of the bed, and brought a tray from the table with a small bowl of oatmeal, two pieces of jam-flavored Danish pastry, and a small portion of salted herring.

These are all meals that Dinah, who grew up in Copenhagen, is very familiar with.

It had been more than eight hours since the last meal, and Lynn knew that Dinah must be very hungry by this time, but her appetite was clearly affected by her mood, and she ate in small bites, looking a little tasteless.

After eating more than half of the food, Dinah picked up the napkin on the plate and wiped her lips lightly, and said in a low voice, "Full." ”

Lynn silently brought the plate back to the table, and had already calculated the idea and content of "talking" just now. Sitting back on the edge of the bed, he stretched out his right hand and grabbed Dinah's left hand, and said, "There are only three ways for us now: stay, leave, join the allies and lead them to end this dream once and for all." ”

At this time, Dinah's mood had eased significantly, and she said relatively calmly, "You definitely won't choose the third way, will you?" ”

Lynn didn't answer directly, but continued: "Based on the psychology of nationality and family, you are resistant to the idea of staying on this path, let's talk about 'leaving' now!" As you know, my mission this time is to use the secret funds of the Empire for industrial cooperation and acquisitions, which can cost tens of thousands of pounds, but these funds are strictly controlled, and if we leave, we will not be able to carry more than ten thousand pounds in cash and valuables. Truth be told, it is not safe for us to stay in Denmark as long as the Third Reich continues to exist for one day, so a considerable part of this money is used for travel expenses. We can go to the UK, which is a safer option at the moment, but we have all lost our original Danish status, and can only enter the country with Norwegian passports, and there are possible surnames that have been discovered and arrested by the British side. I am afraid that the constraints of identity will put our future lives in a cautious embarrassment. On the other hand, things might be better if we were to travel to one of the British overseas states or colonies, especially Oceania, where life is relatively peaceful. In addition to the cost of travel, we were able to buy a piece of land, graze our cattle, cultivate it, and walk hand in hand in the sunset every day for the rest of our lives. ”

Dinah bent her legs, rested her chin on her knees, which had no fat at all, and thought seriously for a while: "Although I yearn for that kind of life, Oceania is on the other side of the world after all, and I will live for a lifetime...... Can't we go back to Denmark in a few years? ”

Lynn replied calmly: "If I were just an ordinary soldier of the Imperial Guard, they would not have spent a lot of money to capture me, but I have access to the most core secrets of this empire, and I am familiar with most of the chess pieces laid on the road to its revival, if I disappear, they will definitely try their best to find it, even if they can't be rescued, they will take extreme means to eliminate it - this is the overall situation and courage, if I were a leader, I am afraid I will also choose this way." ”

Dinah thought for a moment, "So you just listed the third path?" ”

Lynn did not nod yes, but roughly explained what he had just talked about downstairs with the German intelligence officers stationed in Denmark, talking about the tragedy of the German deminers, and the suffering of millions of German prisoners of war, so as to express his true thoughts:

"It is easy to lose oneself in victory and pride, and the policy of ethnic discrimination and violent rule in the occupied territories is such a mistake that Germany has paid a terrible price. When I talked to the FΓΌhrer before, I felt that he had a deep understanding of this, and I can see some of it from the strategies and systems he implemented in the base, and some of my colleagues have also realized these and have reflected on them, and I originally hoped that through efforts to gradually change the concept of the majority of people, so that the re-emerging Germany will no longer be a dark, terrifying, and ignorant military empire, but a lever to change the pattern of the struggle for hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union. ”

Although the reason makes sense, Dinah stared at Lynn with a sullen face: "Go around the old age, you still don't want to change the reality after all!" ”

Lynn shrugged her shoulders and chuckled: "It's not like a pet, and if you don't want it, you can find a remote corner and abandon it." We now either obey it or destroy it. ”

Dinah asked, "What if I want you to choose to destroy it?" ”

Lynn said in a non-stop tone: "It's very simple, go outside to the street and find a Danish policeman or officer, explain what you mean, and they will send us to the Allies in the fastest way." I think in no more than 24 hours, the Allied reconnaissance planes will appear near the 'Vault' base, and then, our great god Rommel, will take the soldiers of the base and the Allied ships and landing troops to fight to the death, it will be a battle similar to the Battle of Berlin, and in the end few people will survive, because there is a lot of explosives planted under the base, and it and all its secrets will eventually disappear. ”

"Then the allies would reward us with a good sum of money and give us a false identity so that we could live a peaceful life in Denmark without worrying about food and clothing...... Did you really think so? When Dinah asked this, Lynn suddenly felt like a cold Gestapo interrogating a prisoner.

Lynn, still not answering yes or no, told Dinah: "On April 30, 1945, I could have left Berlin with a group of loyal men and retreated to the south, robbed a bank vault with arms, and then crossed the mountains into Switzerland to buy a false identity through the black market." It's all about crime fiction, but I still led them on the road where they are today, all on the stroke of thought. If I had taken refuge with the Allies, even if the last remnants of the Empire would not have come to hunt me, I would have survived until I was 80 years old, and I would have survived only as a shell. ”
