Chapter 85: In Prison
Hamburg Prison, Germany. (The update is the fastest and most stable, look,. ANN.)
"Franz. Stuppher! ”
"Here!"
Hearing an answer from the hallway, Lynn knew it was time for the twice-a-day roll call. Neither in the past nor in the past, he never imagined that he would be in a state of embarrassment - either to be a law-abiding and obscure fart all his life, or to gallop and lie drunk on the battlefield, but fate is so wonderful, when the beer hall coup is about to usher in the 24th anniversary, the Baath Party is a small local party unwilling to be lonely as a "bird", although the huge parade and rally is different from the coup, but it disturbs the allies who occupy a strong position, and annoys the cautious strategy of Feng. Provisional Government of Papen. The leaders were imprisoned, the processions were forcibly dispersed, and the Baath Party became an illegal party and faced a brutal ban.
With a click, the lookout window of the iron door was opened from the outside, and a pair of cold and fierce eyes stared at Lynn's silhouette, and shouted emotionlessly, "Hugo. Horst! ”
The unruly attitude is not used to fight with villains, and Lynn, who was reduced from a diplomat to a prisoner overnight, calmly responded: "Here." ”
In a moment, the lookout window was slammed shut, and Lynn looked up at the only window in the solitary cell that opened to the outside. It's so tall that an adult can only touch it when he jumps; It's so small that you can't even fit your head in. The hope in front of us is like this window, although it does exist, it is in an unattainable state. Unlike Stupf, Lynn did not despair at all because of his current situation, on the contrary, he felt that von. The Provisional Government of Papen made the great mistake of dealing with Baath in the same way it had dealt with the former National Socialist Party. At this time, no matter how the Berlin government refutes the rumors and how the allied governments adjust their deployments, the direction of public opinion remains unchanged. The anger of the Germans had been ignited, and they hated not only the Soviets with atomic weapons, but also the Allies who ignored the safety of German civilians and refused to evacuate Kiel, and the German Provisional Government, which bullied the weak and feared the hard, and had no blood to speak of. The policy of coercion could not prevent people from remembering the glory and dignity of the Third Reich, nor from recalling the glory days of the German-Austrian merger, the annexation of the Sudetenland, the invasion of Poland, and the victory over France, all of which are out of reach for Germany today, but no one does not want their country to be reduced to the point of being bullied by others. Even if the mistakes made by the predecessors are unforgivable, the resources that the Allies have looted from the German territory and the people for more than two years, as well as the blood and lives shed by the Germans on the Allied front, are enough to wipe it out!
More than 1,000 Baath Party members, led by Stupf and Lynn, were arrested by the Provisional Government, filling prisons and detention centers in Schleswig-Holstein, followed by raids and close surveillance of the Baath Party headquarters in Oldenburg. Imprisoned and only allowed to visit once a week, by the time Lynn and the others learned about it, it was often days after the incident, which was a big reason for Stupfher's despair. Fortunately, Lynn arranged for a part of the key personnel to be evacuated in concealment on the day of the army raid on the march and rally, so that the Baath Party was not completely paralyzed as the Provisional Government in Berlin had hoped. Not only that, Lynn is using the opportunity to visit to convey his instructions, his men are using the media resources in his hands to fight a propaganda war, and the formation of the team is also showing their housekeeping skills, creating the illusion that Soviet personnel are carrying out infiltration, reconnaissance and attack sabotage in North Germany, and then stimulating the psychology of the German people - although he is in prison and cannot get first-hand information in real time, Lynn still waits patiently with the posture of sitting firmly on the Diaoyu Tai. …,
Except for the dull sound of footsteps, the iron door lookout window opened without warning, and the voice of the cold board came at an unconventional time: "Hugo. Horst, stand up! ”
Whenever the wind was released or visited, the jailer would give the prisoners this advice, and before he knew it, he had spent three weeks in this remote and crude prison, and Lynn was already very familiar with them. He stood up from the bed very calmly, and his posture was as tall as a pine, and he could see the style of a soldier.
The key turned and the door lock that needed to be oiled made a clattering sound, and the door quickly opened, and the sturdy jailer handcuffed and shackled Lynn, which was a great shame for an imperial general who had been highly meritorious and admired by thousands of people, but Lynn did not have a trace of resentment on his face, he looked at the jailer in front of him with contempt, and the other two guards standing outside the door with batons in hand, they seemed to see his actual combat strength from Lynn's figure and aura, so they looked very jealous, Or maybe their superiors have special requirements for them, so they are extra cautious in such situations.
Unlike the other prisoners, Lynn never asked where she was going, and the guards were accustomed to it, and the four of them walked silently through the long hallway, accompanied only by the sound of heavy footsteps and the screeching of iron chains dragging on the ground.
This time, the destination was the prison's visitation room, but there were still two days left before the fixed weekly visitation time, and the prison usually did not accept additional requests from visitors.
It seems that some special person is arriving today, Lynn thought to herself.
After entering the door, there was indeed a familiar figure on the other side, and his appearance surprised Lynn.
After sending Lynn to the visitation room, the guards actually left, which was something that was not even thought about in the past, so Lynn could only convey instructions to his subordinates in code.
"Your Excellency, why are you here?" Lynn was the first to speak.
German ambassador to the Netherlands, the old nobleman of the empire, von Ander. Baron Mayne nodded solemnly at Lynn and introduced him, "This is Minister Nethan from Berlin, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs. ”
The deputy leader of such a small party actually alarmed the deputy minister to visit the prison himself, and Lynn believed that the outside world must be very lively.
Seeing that Lynn just looked at him without humility or arrogance, without even the most basic greetings, he sat in Feng. The pointy-faced old man next to Mayne was not angry, he coughed to open the scene for himself, and then said in a slightly arrogant and gentle tone: "Mr. Horst is only 26 years old this year!" It is not easy to become a counsellor officer in an embassy at such an age, and my cabinet colleagues feel very sorry for your experience and situation, and we think that there may be some misunderstanding here - how can our young diplomats give up their good working environment and life prospects to follow a hopeless and chaotic small party? ”
Lynn looked at Feng quietly. Mayne, the baron winked at him, as if to tell himself that this was a rare opportunity to escape from prison and return to the right path, and he must seize it.
Whether this was the baron's good intentions or the Provisional Government's ploy to divide and dismantle the Baath Party, or both, Lynn couldn't figure it out for the time being, he lowered his head and smiled contemptuously, and said: "Being a diplomat is indeed a good career, I value it, I have really put in a lot of effort before, and I have made a lot of mentors and friends. If this were in a time of true peace, I would gladly continue on this path and eventually become a good diplomat. However, we live in an era of war and instability, when our country and nation are threatened by foreign enemies, especially innocent civilians, and I hate my own inability to protect them. ”…,
The arrogant pointy-faced old man sneered: "Joining such a small party with a miasma can protect the people? It seems that your career as a diplomat has not yet started! Even the influential parties in the whole country can only do to express their views in parliament and try to persuade others to agree with their inclinations, but a diplomat, a really good diplomat, can achieve the goal of protecting the interests of the country and the people through one contact, one meeting, and with diplomatic skills, without the need for hoarse shouts or even naked coercion. ”
See Feng. Baron Mayne winked at him frequently, and Lynn reluctantly nodded: "What you said is not unreasonable. ”
The pointy-faced old man, believing that he had won the victory easily, said proudly: "We are happy to show the tolerance of our elders to such an outstanding young man of outstanding ability: if you do mistakenly join this small party because of a moment of confusion, draw a line with it, and publicly denounce its ignorance and reaction, we will reinstate you." In a year, maybe not a year, you will be promoted to a first class of counsellor, and you will try to take on a relatively independent position in a second-class country, and thus get a very valuable opportunity to exercise. ”
"Your conditions are tempting." Lynn smiled, still smiling contemptuously, while Feng. Baron Mayne also seemed to sense his true attitude, and hurriedly interjected: "Everything should be decided after careful consideration, Your Excellency, we may be able to give Horst a night to think about." ”
The sharp-faced old man glanced at Lynn with some disdain: "There are some opportunities that others can't get in their lifetime." ”
"You're right!" Lynn looked at the smug foreign minister on the other side with disdain, and was determined to end this meaningless visit with a sharp point, and also made his position clear:
"This prison life is something that many people who lack courage will never have the opportunity to experience in their lifetime, but since I was chosen by fate, I have decided to be a person who follows my own will. Twenty-four years ago, the former Führer was sentenced to five years in prison for the Beer Hall coup d'état, and actually served eight months in prison, and with the help of Hess, he completed Mein Kampf and achieved a great metamorphosis. I don't dare to compare myself with the Führer, but I did think a lot and understand a lot during this time, which I can't experience in a comfortable office. Of course, I think you're perfectly capable of keeping me in prison longer and making me reflect from head to toe, but sooner or later you'll hear the cries of the people. The truth is always in the hands of the people. ”
