Chapter 92: The Power of American Imperialism

In the white-lime-painted restaurant, a large table made up of a number of small square tables is indeed filled with all kinds of fresh food, Mexicans' favorite tortillas, tacos, corn sausages, polenta, tomato sauce, minced onions, bright colors, fragrant smells, people will have an appetite as soon as they enter, and as Diglio said, the chef has specially prepared steaks, bread and butter for these guests from afar, and these basic Western meals are also quite good.

After a night of jolting on horseback or mule, and seeing the food in front of them, the commandos reacted very differently from the technical experts who were escorted here. The young and strong warriors rushed to the table like hungry wolves, and the experts, for the most part, looked haggard and gloomy, barely drinking from the water and porridge, and had no interest in the sumptuous food. Oppenheimer stood aside with resentment and resentment in his eyes, not taking a drop of water, as if he was determined to put on a hunger strike.

Lynn sat down next to Oppenheimer and said, "I wanted to smash your head with the butt of my gun last night, knowing that your voice might have put many of my comrades in a desperate situation." ”

"At that time the night before, I also wanted to find a stone to smash your head, Mr. De [***] officer!" Oppenheimer replied unceremoniously, "You have put many peace-loving people in the United States and around the world in a dangerous position -- it is definitely worse than a nightmare to let the remnants of the Nazis master the atomic bomb technology." ”

"I totally agree with you!" Lynn replied gently. Then, Oppenheimer turned his head to look at him in surprise.

Lynn was unhurriedly chewing on the tacos, which were so fluffy and delicious.

The two sat silently, and it was not until Lynn finished eating the food in his hand that Oppenheimer said in an extremely depressed tone: "You have deceived me with your innocence, innocence, and knowledge, and this is so shameless!" This is the most hateful scam I've ever seen in my life! ”

"I'm sorry!" Lynn took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth, "We are fighting for our respective ideals, the difference is that you have succeeded, and I still have a long way to go, so I have to choose this way." ”

Oppenheimer paused and changed his way of speaking: "You have already lost the war, why don't you want to admit it?" ”

"I admit that we lost the war, we all admit it." With that, Lynn got up and walked over to the table, filled a plate with a bit of tortillas and tamales, returned to Oppenheimer, and handed him the food.

Oppenheimer turned his head to look away and said very resolutely: "I will not eat anything from the Nazis!" ”

"But before you left Germany, weren't the salaries you received and the food you ate all given by the Third Reich? Now, on the other hand, these are provided free of charge by Mexican friends, and their desire is simple: to have a friend strong enough to help them free themselves from American oppression. Lynn said calmly, at least without obvious sarcasm in her tone.

"The U.S. policy of freedom does not oppress any country or nation!" Oppenheimer immediately argued.

Decades later, this is definitely the biggest joke in the world. Lynn picked up the tortillas from the plate and said, "How can you think of yourself as a brazen politician who pulls votes?" Throughout the thousands of years of human history, has any country been strong enough to keep to itself? The expeditions of the Roman Empire, the invasion of the Ottoman Empire, the brutal slaughter of the Spanish Empire, the plunder of the British Empire. ”

Oppenheimer was speechless, and he glanced at Lynn's plate, which was waving to his empty stomach.

"Whether the international situation is stable or not is a matter of 'checks and balances'; if a certain military regime is unprecedentedly powerful and fearless, it will not be today, and it will certainly assume the hegemonic posture of a strong man tomorrow, later, or someday in the future -- it is completely determined by the greedy nature of human beings!" Lynn laid out simple reasoning and reasoning, "Think of all that America has done to the Indians, to the Mexicans, to the Spaniards, and to the Spaniards in the last hundred years, and ...... Hasn't Washington also taken advantage of Britain's predicament over the past few years to claim valuable strategic strongholds, at the cost of a fleet of old destroyers that are quick to be reimbursed? ”

Oppenheimer's gaze remained on the plate, but he still argued: "Isn't there now the Soviet Union, Great Britain and France that can counterbalance each other?" What does this have to do with the fallen Third Reich? It's like a sick person has died, and no matter how sad and painful the relatives are, they can only accept the reality and mourn and change their feelings. ”

"Since you have used human life and death as an example, it is good, now let me ask you." Lynn turned to look at the aspiring physicist, "What would you do if your father was very ill and the hospital was ready to pronounce him dead, but you believed in his own opinion that he still had hope of being rescued?" ”

"If that's the case, of course I'll do my best, but your Third Reich ......"

Lynn calmly interrupted the other and said, "No, Doctor, it didn't actually die, but only lost and lost the war. We are reflecting on its failures, on all its mistakes and regrets, and at the same time, we are doing everything we can to find an opportunity to save it. To tell you the truth, the atomic bomb is a superweapon that will inevitably become a guarantee for a country's foothold and stability in the future, and a deterrent force, and the chance of it becoming a tool of war has been greatly reduced. ”

Oppenheimer didn't continue to argue, but he didn't say anything clearly, he looked down and thought for a few minutes, and finally reached for Lynn's plate.

Lynn generously stuffed the plate into Oppenheimer's hand: "Whether you are coerced by the devil or help the weak, no matter what you think, human life is only once, and only by cherishing yourself can you be qualified to love the world." ”

Turned around and looked at the rest of the experts, with their age and stature, the bumps along the way were indeed enough to choke, and there was no need to force it if they had no appetite. Lynn instructed her men to keep a close watch on these important tasks, and then left the dining room for the radio room on the top floor of the building. In addition to an old Mexican military radio, there are two new German-made radio communications equipment, four full-time communications commandos and a communications officer, all dressed in the blue uniforms of the Mexican light cavalry.

Lynn. Gargo seemed to have become the star of the Empire, and when he stepped into the makeshift communications room, the commandos took the initiative to stand up and salute without introducing himself, and the communications officer was estimated to be two or three years older than Lynn, but still respectfully called him "Chief Gargo".

Standing still next to the radio, Lynn asked, "What's new?" ”

The operations here are obviously not the most important secrets, and the similar communications officer replied without hesitation: "Two hours ago, New Mexico and Arizona declared a state of emergency, and we also heard that the US combat command ordered all battle formations and alert patrols to assemble in southeastern Arizona, and conduct a comprehensive search of towns, villages, mines, and fields, and the border patrol team was on strict alert in their respective defense areas. ”

Such a reaction was reasonable, and Lynn asked again, "What about Los Amos?" ”

"There is no news yet, and there has been no official statement from the United States." The Communications Officer replied.

Lynn thought for a moment, "When was the last time you received a signal from Colonel Valdes' command?" ”

The communications officer looked down at his watch: "Five and a half hours ago, we were ordered to activate Plan 3, which is to expand the border area by 200 kilometers to the west. ”

The 200 kilometers to the west, roughly southwest of Arizona, while helping to break out of the U.S. blockade, also means a significant increase in distance, with the only optimism being that horses and mules are not as dependent on logistics as automobiles.

Lynn pondered, "What's the exact news over there at Oak Ridge?" ”

The communications officer replied: "Our personnel have not yet sent confirmation information, and now we only know that there has been a violent explosion in the target factory area, and the US military has cordoned off the surrounding area." ”

All of this news was like a hazy pre-dawn, seemingly unexpected, but not entirely certain. Lynn walked to the window with her hands behind her back, and in the yard, Mexican soldiers were feeding the horses and mules of the horse team.

"You stay here...... These Mexican soldiers are reliable, right? Lynn asked in a whisper in German.

The communications officer followed him to the window, and he replied in a low voice: "Mexico's political axe is relatively close to the United States on the surface, but the military is divided into many factions, pro-American, nativist, and those who rely on Europe's covert support. Reputedly...... The Mexican military here is more closely connected with the Spanish side, and we have the support of the Franco regime to operate here. ”

"Oh!" Lynn replied simply, it seems that the inside story that ordinary people don't know is really endless.

When I was talking to Oppenheimer just now, I killed a tacos and a tortilla, and my stomach was full, but it seemed that I was eating too fast at once, and Lynn thought about going down later to make it easier, but the wind outside the window blew a faint roar, and there was no vehicle on the road ahead. Listening closely, the roar became clearer and clearer, like an airplane flying from a distance, unable to distinguish the model, but not like an old and clumsy agricultural aircraft...... It was at this moment that Lynn saw the bearded Mexican officer rush to the flagpole in front of the building, looking up at the sky with his waist crossed and his stomach puffed. When the noisy creatures came into view, he began to curse in Spanish.

"Karui, what is he talking about?" The communications officer, apparently also speaking Spanish, turned to a commando sitting next to the radio for help.

The commando took off his headphones and listened for a while, then explained: "Calling the Yankees for invading Mexican airspace like bandits, and then there is the content of the curse and the angry curse, oh, and the dissatisfaction with the central political axe of Mexico, saying that they are timid and dare not speak out in front of the Yankees." ”

Lynn looked up, the clear sky was a clean blue, and two Mustang flew low from the middle and low altitude, and the U.S. Army logo was clearly visible under the wings.

Although there is a reason for the incident, it is possible for fighter planes to fly across the border in broad daylight in formation, this is what Oppenheimer called free boiling!

When Lynn went down to the first floor and was about to go to the primitive squatting hut in the courtyard to lighten the load, a Mexican cavalryman galloped up, shouting something urgently, and the big-lipped officer was immediately furious, and under his shout, the Mexican soldiers were armed and ready to set off in a procession, and the car in the backyard was also started, and the old cannon was still drawn in the back of the car.

"A contingent of American cavalry has just crossed the border!" Diglio walked over to Lynn.

Strength determines confidence, and Lynn asked suspiciously: "They dare to shoot at the Americans?" ”

Diglio shrugged: "The Mexicans have the Mexican way, we don't care, but the Americans must have followed your tracks, and we have to leave immediately." ”
