The more regular the schedule, the more accurate the biological clock. In late winter, the days in northern Europe are short and the nights are long, and the morning in Stockholm always waits until nine or ten o'clock in the morning, and once it is past seven o'clock in the morning, Dinah is still asleep, Lynn gets up alone and goes to the next room, turns on the lamp, picks up the German-Russian dictionary and Russian language book that Wolfrum bought at the bookstore, and studies her homework as seriously as she did in middle school. The preliminary plan was almost decided, and with half a month to go, Major Mitigo had already returned to Leningrad with a large sum of rubles exchanged in the Swedish Bank, and all he had to do was wait until more information about the operation came back.

At a quarter past nine, Dinah lazily got up from the big bed and walked barefoot up and down the bedroom. Lynn opened the curtains, and the light outside was not very strong, but she could already see a lot of cars passing through the bridges and streets of Stockholm.

After a while, Dinah came in with a beautiful enamel cup, walked to Lynn's desk in a natural and sultry manner, put the cup in his hand, glanced sideways at his books and dictionaries, and said in an almost questioning tone: "This time you are going to Russia to assassinate Stalin?" ”

"In principle, I won't go, but just in case." Lynn explained.

Dinah was obviously very dissatisfied with this answer, and she said coldly: "I am afraid that when the time comes, the Führer will have a clear order, and you will be led by the invincible hero!" ”

This way of speaking is simply the opposite of the gentle and gentle image in the past, and Lynn said unhappily: "Don't talk nonsense! ”

Like a girl in the rebellious period of adolescence, Dinah-for-tat: "What? Are you going to put me in a concentration camp? ”

Lynn was a little speechless, but Dinah was her own wife after all, not an ordinary bystander. He stood up patiently, turned his head to look at Dinah, and saw the resentment that had not yet dissipated in those beautiful but cold eyes, and felt helpless in his heart.

Dinah did not give up the attack because of Lynn's forbearance of herself, she said unrelentingly: "In order to survive, you must stir up chaos in the world and let those innocent civilians be involved in the war again?" No, this shouldn't be your original intention, you must be enchanted, enchanted with yourself! ”

"Maybe!"

Lynn bit his lip, at this moment, how much he missed the previous newlywed time in the "Shelter" base, the two were busy during the day, and talked together at night, lingering and sympathetic, what a simple and happy married life, after going out, the material conditions were suddenly enriched, but those contradictions buried in the depths inevitably broke out.

Dinah seemed to be angry about Lynn's soft and hard attitude, but before she could say the next sentence, she suddenly vomited. Although the heating was on in the suite, she was barefoot, and Lynn was about to remind her to beware of the cold, but she rushed to the bathroom with her mouth covered.

Thinking of those bloody dramas that he had watched, Lynn changed his mind, is there one?

It's been almost four months since they got married, and the two have always been together naturally, and they haven't taken any contraceptive measures, they are both mature young people, and it's normal to be pregnant. Although the two have been arguing about the concept of the country and the concept of life and the world view for a while, the pregnancy reaction usually appears more than a month after conception, when the two are still enjoying a good life in Switzerland.

About two minutes later, there was a flushing sound in the bathroom, and Lynn hurriedly walked to the door and asked with concern, "What's wrong?" You okay! ”

Dinah didn't answer, and Lynn just waited at the door, and after a while, she opened the door and came out, her face obviously washed, and her eyes were slightly red.

"Got a cold?" Lynn asked.

Dinah shook her head.

Lynn immediately turned surprised: "That means ......"

Dinah sighed, "Yes, you're about to be a dad." ”

Despite this atmosphere, Lynn, who had successfully sown seeds for the first time, still couldn't hold back the joy in his heart, he jumped up happily, clapped his hands and said, "Ha, I'm going to be a father!" Oh, my God! I'll have this day too! ”

"Lynn!" Dinah rarely called him by his proper name.

Lynn didn't care about this, he put his hands on Dinah's shoulders: "Great, will it be a boy or a girl?" How long has it been? ”

"Lynn!" Dinah called his name a second time, and her expression was very serious.

Lynn calmed down a little, and he scratched his head: "It's just too sudden, though...... But ......"

"Let's have a good talk, shall we?" Dinah's tone was much softer than in the study just now, but there was still a different kind of coldness.

Lynn could guess what she wanted to say, and now that the "hostage" was in her stomach, it seemed that it was perfunctory, so she stubbornly said, "Oh, okay, sit down and talk!" ”

The two returned to the bedroom and sat on the edge of the bed, and Dinah stared at Lynn very seriously, which made him feel uncomfortable, but still looked at him with a calm gaze.

"This is our child, Lynn, and I don't want him to be born in troubled circumstances. The war is finally over, but our motherland, Denmark, has fortunately not been destroyed by the war, and you can see with your own eyes, Copenhagen is still so beautiful, and those peaceful villages and towns are a good place to live and work in peace. Lynn, let's go back to Denmark! It is better to find a place where no one knows us, even if we are poor, than to be scared like this. Dinah said with affection.

Lynn nodded but then shook her head: "Dinah, listen to me, that kind of life is also what I really yearn for, but now is not the time, I need more time." ”

Dinah stared at him with a flickering gaze, "No, now, right now." ”

Lynn bit her lip, "You are so beautiful, Dinah, I am afraid that suddenly going to live an ordinary life will have too many difficulties for me to handle." ”

"Don't you want our children to be born and grow up in a stable environment?" Dinah's eyes were already filled with tears when she said this, and she grasped Lynn's right hand with both hands, "Even if you are devoted to the revival of the Third Reich, it will not be done in a short time. Ten years, twenty years or even longer, we can forget it, why should we let our children live that closed, frightened life, it's not fair! ”

A woman's crying was the last thing Lynn wanted to hear, but now he couldn't escape. At this moment, he suddenly remembered the Alice family, if he had chosen to be with them, he might not have anything to do with the Third Reich now, but he might not be able to get a stable life - evading the search and arrest of the allies, struggling for a living, or enduring the ruthless humiliation of the occupiers in the occupied territories of the allies.

"Alright, Dinah, alright!" Lynn finally relented, "I promise with my life that I will never let our children be born and grow up in a turbulent environment, and I will arrange for your mother and son to go back to Denmark so that you can live a legal and prosperous life." ”

This was clearly not what Dinah wanted, and tears welled up in her eyes, and she slapped Lynn's arm and cried, "I won't let you leave me!" I won't let you leave the child! ”

Lynn forcibly kissed her lips, feeling the saltiness seeping through the corners of her mouth...... For a long time, when the waiter brought breakfast, Lynn and Dinah sat opposite the small dining table, their faces were a little pale, so that the waiter looked curiously at the balcony, the balcony door was not opened, but maybe the two people stood on the balcony for too long, after all, in Stockholm in February, the average temperature during the day was also below freezing, and it was a veritable ice and snow capital.

After the waiter left, Lynn silently picked up the knife and fork, carefully cut the reindeer meat slices and gingerbread for Dinah, and gently delivered them to her.

"Years later, when the child learns the truth, I am really afraid that he will be proud of you as a persistent and stubborn father, you are so good, but you are struggling for a dream that is difficult to achieve." Dinah said with tears in her eyes.

With a smile on her face, Lynn said to the charming Mrs. Gargo: "I used to be ordinary, but everything is different, and I don't want to live the same life in such an era." I have found my faith and will fight for it to create a time that belongs to me. Ten years from now, the aircraft flying in space orbit will not only be marked by the United States and the Soviet Union, and the world will no longer be in the shadow of a nuclear war between East and West...... It will eventually be the glory of my life without regrets. ”

Dinah's eyes roamed over Lynn's face, as if trying to see the mystery of the man in front of her, but the spanning of nearly seventy years could not be summed up in a few words. After a moment, she lowered her head, picked up a fork in her left hand, forked a small piece of delicious and nutritious reindeer meat from the plate, and said gloomily: "When I was a child, my mother always said that I was like a little princess, and I would definitely marry a certain prince when I grew up, but my father often said that once a prince becomes a king, he will take on all the heavy responsibilities without hesitation, and the queen, the holiest and happiest woman in everyone's eyes, must sacrifice many precious things for her husband." At the time I didn't understand it at all, but now I think I understand how hard it is to silently support a man with a big heart, and it takes too much courage and sacrifice. So, I'd rather marry an ordinary person, like my father, but unfortunately in the end I don't even have the right to make my own decisions, how sad! ”

"Ordinary people have the helplessness and sorrow of ordinary people." Lynn said with deep feeling, "If one day I can let you and your children live the life of a queen and a prince, all the efforts and sacrifices will be worth it, and it will be completely worth it!" ”

Dinah smiled with tears in her eyes, smiling as she put the delicious food into her mouth and swallowed it with her tears.

Although the result was somewhat reluctant and full of sadness, Lynn finally persuaded his wife, which seemed to him to be more difficult than taking the first step strategically. The waitress brought breakfast and the newspaper of the day, and in this case Lynn had no intention of reading the newspaper, but at a casual glance, she saw the huge front page headline: Finnish Heroes Die Out!

Finland was not a powerful country, and it pursued a very special position in World War II: it fought without attacking, and after recovering the land that was forced to be ceded after the Fu-Finnish War, its well-equipped army with experience in mountain warfare "did not cross the mine" along the old border. In the north, the German mountain clusters, lacking experience in cold zone warfare and means of transport, were full of ambition but did not even face the edge of Smolensk, and if the Finnish army, which was familiar with the terrain and skilled in warfare, attacked together, that front was likely to become the fulcrum for the change of the war situation; In the south, Leningrad was already within the range of the Finnish army's long-range artillery, and the Germans tried every means to get Finland to participate in the encirclement and attack on Leningrad. In 1942, Mannerheim was 75 years old. Hitler's unprecedented visit to Finland to celebrate his birthday shows the importance attached to the Finnish side, but Marshal Mannerheim deliberately arranged the meeting place in a remote railway station, it is said that the meal of the day was very unpalatable, and knowing that Hitler hated the smell of smoke, Mannerheim also smoked a large cigar after the meal, and as a result, Hitler only stayed for a few hours and left Finland in a hurry, and in the end did not cut the material aid to Finland.

Commenting on history, Mannerheim, the commander of the Finnish army and the president of Finland at the end of the war, was first and foremost a sincere patriot and then a strategic partner of the Third Reich, and at that time he was one of the most powerful and eloquent leaders in Europe, and it was under his leadership that the weak Finnish army created the legend of the Soviet-Finnish war, and thanks to his wise and determined strategy, Finland was saved from national destruction. Rather than doing this, Finland signed a secret pact with the Third Reich at the behest of Mannerheim to secretly provide limited equipment to the "exiles" hiding in Northern Europe. Worldwide, another official offer of help was Franco's Spanish Scholar regime, but it was a target that the Allies were desperately trying to woo, far superior to Finland's international status.

Picking up the newspaper, Lynn saw reports that Mannerheim had resigned from the presidency and was about to leave Finland for exile in Switzerland. Sweden, which strongly supported Finland during the Soviet-Finnish War, has always stood on a sympathetic stand for its Nordic brothers in the face of a powerful third party, which can be seen in the praise of the former president and army commander of Finland in the front-page news, and the lofty words such as "national hero", "strategist" and "patriot" appear in turn, and relatively objectively comment on Mannerheim's legendary voice, and call him "Finland's greatest leader" in the pen. As for the reason for Mannerheim's departure, the Swedes, although they did not directly say that it was pressure from the Soviet side, left a very clear hint. In addition, the report also predicted the rest of Mannerheim's life, although Finland received a large amount of aid from the Western world before and after the Soviet-Finnish war, the former president had very little personal wealth, and after arriving in Switzerland, he was forced by "international pressure" to maintain official contact with Finland, and his return to his homeland seemed to be a long way off - if the general trend of history remained unchanged, Lynn knew that this prediction was quite accurate, and Mannerheim would not have the opportunity to return to Finland in his lifetime.

After reading the report, Lynn was keenly aware that this was an opportunity that could be taken advantage of, and if used well, she could make a big fuss. After the war, Finland's military strength was much less than before, losing Mannerheim and the eastern isthmus line, they no longer even had the courage to confront the Soviets, but the official and popular resentment and hatred of the Soviet Union will only increase. If you operate in Finland under the banner of Mannerheim, you can get half of the home treatment, even if Soviet and Russian spies and spies are rampant there, detecting intelligence and establishing secret base stations will also get twice the result with half the effort.

Seeing Lynn reading the newspaper so intently, Dinah was neither surprised nor angry, but looked at him quietly. After a few more bites, I went to the bathroom with another wave of nausea. Normal pregnancy reactions, Lynn can't help much, based on Lorentz. In Bach's example, Lynn did not expect the Führer to agree to Dinah living in Denmark with her children in the future, nor did he think that Andriy would be dedicated to helping him in this matter, so he decided to hide it and use his own wisdom and means to arrange the way back step by step. After the meal, he asked Wolfrum to quietly call for a doctor, explaining to Andriy and his companions that Dinah was unwell. After that, he took the initiative to find Andri, and the two of them combined, leaving Mannerheim in Finland was indeed a chess piece of great significance, and Andriy decided to contact the Swiss side to determine Mannerheim's location as soon as possible and conduct preliminary reconnaissance, and then summoned Courtland and others to study specific countermeasures - the preliminary conclusion was that if they could not arrange the assassination operation before the Red Army Day, they should postpone it appropriately and find another opportunity. Regardless of the final outcome of this plan, the next step will be to establish a new technical intelligence station in Finland, which will provide radio navigation and submarine replenishment support, in addition to providing intelligence officers with information and recuperation, in order to deal with this long-standing adversary in the east.

The short day soon ended, and by the time the meeting was adjourned, it was already dark. Back in the suite, Wolfrum informed her that the doctor had examined her, that Dinah had been pregnant for more than two months, that everything was normal, and advised the pregnant woman to improve her nutrition, maintain a good attitude and avoid the fatigue of traveling. Since being captive as twelve "porcelain dolls", the nutritional conditions must be guaranteed, and the dance training and performance also ensure good physical condition, these are optimistic factors, but Dinah's mentality has fluctuated greatly recently, and according to the original plan, she will have to travel between Finland and the base again, as for Lynn's personal trip to Soviet Russia, although the Führer did not give the order, Andri and others obviously feel that this kind of arduous task can only be secured by him, which makes it difficult for him.
