"Sir, I've already contacted Lieutenant Colonel Darmst for you, he's very open-minded, he's a more traditional veteran officer in his bones, he's reliable, just a little ・・・・・・"

Seeing that Major Hedda was about to stop talking, Lynn gave him a relaxed smile. I had heard about the deeds of the admiral of the "German Wehrmacht" before, and I felt admiration for such an old officer in my heart, and some old-fashioned ideas were insignificant in comparison.

"Well, I understand, please arrange your itinerary, I will visit him in Bremen in person."

"I'm afraid I'll have to wait until next week to get the documents before I can go out, and besides, there seems to be a large-scale transfer of the league ** team in recent days." Major Hedda shrugged his shoulders, his figure was seven or eight points similar to Goebbels', but his square face was very different from that of the former Imperial Minister of Propaganda.

When he first returned home, Lynn's grasp of the environment was not as good as Heda, who had been sticking to his homeland since the end of the war, and there should be many people in Germany who had a strong faith and were indispensable hope and cornerstone of the revival.

Out of respect for the resisters, and to show that she didn't mean to dominate the crowd, Lynn made tea for Hedda herself, and the two sat on the stiff sofa while sipping tea and talking.

"What's the news from the Lun Castle?"

"There are a few mixed news." Hedda replied, "The Allied side may reopen next month, and the evidence, the testimony, and the attitude of the Allied high-level are not in favor of our people, and it is certain that hanging is the maximum sentence for this trial, and the place of trial remains unchanged, it is still at the Nuremberg Court, and it is estimated that the place of their detention will not be temporarily changed." The Nuremberg Resistance had already conducted several reconnaissance of the prison, and the Allied garrison was on high alert, but our men managed to draw up a map of the defenses, which should soon be delivered to Hamburg. ”

Lynn nodded, at the end of World War II, the collapse of the ruling system and the fragmentation of the intelligence network made the imperial strategic decision-makers who retreated to Northern Europe fall into the dilemma of being almost "blind" to the situation at home. It wasn't until after the outbreak of the Great War between the Eastern and Western camps that the Empire's top brass activated the intelligence system again, but their strategic vision did not suddenly open up like turning on satellite surveillance, and the darkness shrouded the map was like an endless cloud, and only a small area was visible in front of them. Under such circumstances, the Empire's top brass sent intelligence agents to Bavaria to find and "awaken" the lurkers there, while entrusting underground resistance agents like Heda with their own means to liaise with resistance forces organized by former officials or civil society in other regions.

In contrast, the latter results are faster and more direct.

"If you have the chance, please convey your respect to them for me." Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, his past experience made Lynn realize the difficulties and dangers of working behind enemy lines.

Hedda nodded in acceptance.

Immediately afterward, Lynn asked, "Feng. Marshal Weix's side・・・・・・"

Hedda took two sips of tea as if he hadn't heard, and then sighed when he put down the teacup and said: "This devout Catholic thinks that our actions are pushing Germany from the brink of destruction to the abyss, and he is willing to do everything in his power to help the German people, but he will not listen or say a word about anything related to the old imperial government." ”

"This is what the marshal himself said?" Lynn was surprised.

Hedda replied: "No, he didn't give us the opportunity to communicate in person, all contact was done indirectly through his personal doctor. We have people who know the personal doctor very well, a Germanic man of integrity, honesty, purity, and he should not lie. ”

Feng. Although Wicks was a German field marshal, there had always been a big disagreement between him and the High Command, especially the Führer himself, and since 1943 he has experienced ups and downs of dismissal, commissioning, and dismissal, and he is a purely military general, and he has never been involved in political affairs, which should be the key factor why the Allies appointed him as the army commander of the German Wehrmacht. Although he could accept this in his heart, Lynn was still a little disappointed, and he patted his leg and said: "That's it, anyway, most of the German troops formed by the allies are not under the command of the Wehrmacht, instead of spending effort on these high-ranking generals with unclear attitudes, it is better to mobilize middle and lower-level officers with a more national spirit, what do you think?" ”…,

Lynn used the honorific "you" again and again, and Hedda responded positively: "It's better to walk on two legs than on one leg, sir, I always believe that there are still many generals in the German team who love the country, the nation and the head of state, and the key is to let them see the hope of success, not let their soldiers make fearless sacrifices." You're also a soldier, so you should be able to relate to their concerns.

It was such an easy-to-understand phrase that made Lynn impressed with Hedda and gave him a deeper understanding of the will and wisdom of the underground resisters.

"Sir, I take the liberty of asking...... Will rescuing those imprisoned in Nuremberg save Germany? ”

This question is indeed presumptuous, but it is also expected by Lynn. From the standpoint of ordinary Germans, the heads and minds of the prison were once only known for prestige and luxury, and Goering was a typical representative, and Dönitz was also a typical representative of the positive contribution to the rise of the Third Reich and the series of glorious victories that terrified the enemy. Standing in the position of the upper echelons of the empire, the separation of views is quite meaningful, Rommel naturally will not welcome Keitel and Yodel, the two "philistines" to compete with him for command, Goebbels should also be resistant to Hess and Golinth, the Führer's attitude is the most subtle of them, people's performance before and after the armistice is enough to see their true thoughts, which can continue to be trusted, which should be abandoned or even severely punished, he should have a plan in his heart. It's just that no one wrote these down instructions, nor did they convey them to Lynn, either publicly or privately, and almost everything had to be figured out by the operational commander himself.

"It is to be expected that we will have to pay a great price for this adventure, and if it is to save those who are of no benefit or even harm to Germany, I will not agree to it for the first time!" Lynn replied to Heda's question with a general and broad answer.

"I'm relieved to hear you say that." Hedda tentatively said, "We will leave with all our might, for the sake of Germany, and for the Führer!" ”

Führer, again, is a sensitive and acute topic. There is an essential difference between the Führer's directive, which can be understood as Adolf Hitler's last wish or his own order, on the question of the Führer's life and death. For Hedda and the other German repressors, the Reich intelligence used the words "Führer's Directive" when communicating with them, but the details of the Führer and the "Refuge" base had to be kept strictly secret, and even if the intelligence officers said that the Führer was still alive without divulging the secret, the resisters would need further proof to be completely convinced.

The rules of the game, which Lynn must also follow, raised the volume of a stanza: "Yes, everything for Germany, everything for the sake of the Führer of our pride and absolute allegiance, let's do our best!" ”

Two days after the end of the conversation with Heda, another important figure who had previously worked in the German Espionage Bureau, known as the "French Blue Fox". Brunsage got in touch with Lynn in a peculiar way - he sent a reliable deputy, Albert.

A person's nickname often contains a direct message, and as the name suggests, this cunning "blue fox" has a great connection to France. In fact, this powerful man with dual French and German citizenship began to spy in France as early as 1935, and when the war broke out, he had been mixed into the logistics department of the French Army, and provided important military intelligence for Germany before the Western Front CampaignUnfortunately, the Germans were too hasty and reckless in forcibly seizing the French fleet, and in the end they were unable to take possession of the powerful French fleet. Brunsch also disappeared from the sight of the Imperial intelligence services for a time. From Albert's mouth, Lynn learned that after the liberation of France, many high-ranking officials and generals of the Vichy government were tried as traitors or lost their black hats, and the soldiers under the Vichy government were inevitably affected. Two of them were even "stuffed" into the army combat units. This time, the Reich's top brass reactivated the intelligence network in Germany, and indirectly contacted this legendary super spy, and he also brought Albert a shocking news: "Gray Eagle's unit is about to leave for Nuremberg! …,

After another two days, the underground resistance group led by Hedda made forged identity documents of the Allied occupied territories for the new activists in Germany, and Lynn's new identity was a fundraising staff of the German Red Cross, which was not only verifiable in the German Red Cross, but also in Allied occupation Germany It was also more versatile and flexible, and since the return of Stalin's assassination, Lynn has not had to carry a false identity for half a year.

Knowing the German Red Cross's constitution and declaration, and refreshing her medical and health skills and basic first aid skills, Lynn was able to step out of her room and walk on German soil, whether it was shining in the sun or rain. Of course, the premise is not to be exposed by the informants, but at the end of the war Lynn. The possibility of Gargo's popularity in Germany is slim to none.

It was another cold and rainy day, and Lynn, dressed in civilian attire, strode into the headquarters of the Wehrmacht Navy in Bremen.

Before the collapse of the Third Reich, Lynn had never been to the German naval headquarters in Kiel, but the naval structures in the ports of Königsberg and Stettin were more imposing than this command. In appearance, it is more like an ordinary school, with a black, red and yellow tricolor flag hanging from the flagpole opposite the foyer, which is supposed to be a direct imitation of the German flag of the Weimar Republic era and removed the eagle emblem. It fluttered stubbornly in the wind and rain, as if to show people something.

In a simple, unheated office, Lynn met Lieutenant Colonel Darmsther, now the commander-in-chief of the small German defense fleet, an old navyman who had worked in obscurity for decades in ordinary posts, and a man of the hour.

Although Lynn came as a Red Cross fundraiser, the underground resistance group had already revealed some information to the lieutenant commander in the early stage of contact, so the lieutenant colonel gave Lynn a traditional military salute and opened with an honorific such as "honorific".

Words and demeanors often tell a person's state of mind, and Lynn sees a simple creed in this old and spirited lieutenant colonel, but he is after all a senior commander of the German Wehrmacht recognized by the Allies, and it is not entirely impossible to have some kind of compromise with the Allies in private, so the conversation is still mainly tentative at first.

Hearing Lynn talk about the bulk of grain shipped from overseas last winter, Lieutenant Colonel Darmsted a frown, got up and said, "That's what you did...... For that alone, I should give you a solemn thanksgiving. Without that food, hundreds of thousands of German residents would not have survived the winter last year! What a tragic sight would that be? I can't imagine it! ”

Lynn hurriedly stood up: "Just do your best for the sake of common beliefs!" ”

Lieutenant Colonel Darmst nodded and said with emotion: "If everyone who is capable can give selflessly, the future days will not have to be so sorrowful. By the way, Mr. Horst, will you be able to raise food anytime soon? Although farmland in various parts of Germany has been sown normally this year, the league has forcibly expropriated a lot of grain, and some areas in the east are facing a shortage of food, and this situation will worsen by next spring. ”

Among all kinds of strategic materials, food is almost the cheapest, but it is precisely because of the outbreak of the war between the Eastern and Western camps, the price of food in Europe and the Americas has risen sharply, and the empire's projects in Europe, Scandinavia and the Americas are still in the investment stage, and the rapid depletion of secret reserve funds has made it impossible for the top management to collect hundreds of thousands of tons of food this winter as much as a year ago, and if the situation continues like this, it will not take a year for major projects to face the dilemma of shortage of funds, This is also a major factor in the fact that the Führer has made a clear arrangement for the time of revival.

"Because of the war, this year's situation is indeed a little more special, and we are trying to find a way to do our best! But as you know・・・・・・ it's not a long-term solution. Lynn took advantage of the situation and said, "Actually, we are here to shoulder a special and important mission. As you understand, we would like to see Germany emerge from its predicament and achieve a revival, but this is not something that can be achieved by a small group of people, and what you have done here is not only a testament to your loyalty to Germany, but also a sign of great wisdom. ”

"Oh." The lieutenant colonel lit his cigarette unhurriedly, "Excuse me from compliments, and tell me about your mission!" ”…,

"One nation, one nation, one head of state." Lynn replied, "That's our mission." ”

The cigarette that had just been smoked lingered between his fingers for a long time, and then the deep voice of the vicissitudes of life said slowly: "In the past half century, Germany has gone through two almost dreamlike epochs, each of which has reached unprecedented heights, and is only one step away from a great victory. Regrets remain in my heart, but those are a thing of the past. Young people, I don't know where you come from, and I don't know how strong the support behind you is, but I think everyone should do what they can and do what they should do. In public office, I tried to keep the flame of the German navy alive, so that the glorious traditions and fine character could be continued, and in private, I tried my best to help my compatriots from the suffering of hunger and cold, and not to let them fall back into darkness. ”

The words are tactful enough to communicate with Feng. Marshal Weix is roughly the same thing. Looking at the weathered face in front of him, Lynn didn't feel that he had compromised with the allies in order to get this position. As a witness and a witness of the two world wars, he had endured enough pain and despair to be cautious and even resistant to such an adventure.

After thinking for a long time, Lynn replied calmly: "I can understand what you said, if a year and a half ago, our efforts were indeed an unrealistic luxury, but now it has come to the realm of reality step by step, we muster up the courage to wait for the last fight, I hope that when you see this possibility is close at hand, you can make the right choice from the position of a German ** person." ”

Lieutenant Colonel Darmst took the last puffs of his cigarette and pressed the barely hand-held cigarette butts into an ashtray made of cans - the tables and chairs in this office were all of this simple and practical type, but the battle flags, eagle insignia, and other objects related to the Third Reich were not to be used, except for the old photographs of soldiers and warships in the self-made frames, which were more like the study of ordinary people.

"I have a duty to help civilians and rebuild their homes, and as for fighting, killing, destroying and destroying, I don't think I'm the right age!"

The words were not humorous, but Lynn still smiled slightly: "The ultimate dream of all of us is to rebuild our homes, and that's enough!" ”

Lieutenant Colonel Darmst didn't see a smile on his face from beginning to end, and he sighed: "I hope that what I will see in my lifetime is not a home that is completely destroyed and then rebuilt." "Min
