Before entering the general hospital that occupies a large cave in the "shelter", Lynn only saw some young people with different surnames in the dormitory management office and the cafeteria, and did not take it for granted that the ratio of men and women in this secret base tended to be balanced. The angels are not all dressed in white, there are hundreds of people in total, and eighty percent of them are young and beautiful female surnames. As long as the male surname has seen this kind of pomp, who will still find the life at the base monotonous?

Among all kinds of non-serious wounds, Lynn's thigh bullet and shoulder shrapnel wounds are relatively easy to heal, and the corresponding hemostatic treatment was carried out when he was injured, and professional surgical treatment was carried out a few hours later, and the symptoms of wound infection during the submarine were also effectively controlled, so the healing of the wound was relatively optimistic in the past five days. In the absence of an overall combat mission, the military medical officer arranged for him to be hospitalized for a week to recuperate. Leaning on the clean and tidy bed, watching the female nurses coming and going, the young and vigorous Lynn was inevitably a little happy, but it was a little longer, and it was boring just to look at it. Thinking about it, young women like Alice are more amorous, and I don't know what happened to their mother and daughter and white goatee.

Thinking of this, I picked up the sick leave arrangement sheet issued by the military doctor, and the time on it was written from May 4 to May 10. Based on the previous experience of recovering from a bullet wound in the arm, 7 days of careful treatment should be able to re-energize you. Just looking at these simple Arabic numerals, Lynn always felt dazzling, and finally remembered: In the history of World War II that most people know, the German Führer committed suicide in a Berlin bunker on April 30, and Germany and the Allies formally signed an unconditional surrender nine days later, and three months later the U.S. military dropped an atomic bomb on the Allied Army, followed by the unconditional surrender of the Japanese Benz.

Wanting to determine whether the main line of history was still developing along the trajectory he knew, Lynn looked left and right, and talked to the non-commissioned officers who did not look cunning and cunning in the nearby bed, and learned each other's names, births, and military experience, and asked casually, "We held back on the submarine for four days, and talked to the same group of people every day...... Do you know what's been going on out there lately? ”

This non-commissioned officer is not like the head of the dormitory, he doesn't want to reveal it, and he regards himself as a senior who kindly admonishes, he lowered his voice and said: "It's all spread outside...... The Führer is dead! It was also heard that the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy had officially succeeded to the position of Führer, and that the German [***] team would continue to fight the enemy under his leadership! ”

"Really?" Lynn pretended to be surprised, then shook his head and whispered: "That's impossible, I saw the Führer and Goebbels board the submarine with my own eyes, and now that the Minister of Propaganda has arrived, the Führer must have arrived here safely!" ”

I reveal secret information to you, and you reveal secrets to me, which is like a fair deal for mutual benefit, as long as you are not guilty of punishment and are happy to tell you everything you know - this is often the case with human psychology. The non-commissioned officer was surprised and said, "Oh? Are you sure? ”

Lynn said with certainty: "See it with your own eyes!" ”

The non-commissioned officer, who had been wounded in his right arm and shoulder, thought for a moment and leaned over to Lynn's ear and said, "But Rommel is not dead, he eats in the dining room every day; Goebbels was not dead, and he was moving brightly as soon as he arrived at the base. Why did the Führer ......"

This question is one of Lynn's big doubts now, because the Führer was seriously ill and unconscious, and the officers did it on purpose, or was it because someone was suspicious at all, and the real Führer did not leave Berlin at all? The hateful thing is that these mysteries are like fresh fish in the window, and they are like hungry wild cats, who can only salivate through the glass for no reason, delusional that the window will be blown open, opened or inexplicably broken, but they have no ability to open the window to enter.

After a while, the non-commissioned officer took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, brand new packaging, and a pattern that had never been seen before, and Lynn asked, "This is also the base's regular ration?" ”

"Uh-huh!" The non-commissioned officer generously gave Lynn one, "Two packs per week for soldiers, two and a half packs for non-commissioned officers, and three packs for officers, and you can buy additional ones with money." By the way, the Reichsmark is still common here, and our salaries are still paid according to wartime standards. ”

"Oh, that's good!" Lynn replied, thinking that the supply conditions of this "shelter" were much more abundant than expected, and that withdrawing from the front line here was like going from hell to heaven, and when the time came, finding a young female nurse or restaurant waitress or something like that would marry and have children, and the homesickness would be cut off, and I was afraid that this was just a move by those in power to stabilize the situation, and once the materials stored in advance were exhausted, they would naturally face the danger of mutiny.

Although the friendly non-commissioned officer had limited knowledge of the outside world, he had been here for a long time, and his knowledge of the "shelter" still helped Lynn a lot when he first arrived. He claimed to have heard from a crew member that the "refuge" was not far from Cape Norchen, the far north point of the European continent, and that the natural caverns were discovered by a German submarine intercepting the Allied Arctic route, which had been damaged by enemy escort ships and entered the fjord in the snowstorm, and that the reloaded divers who had gone into the water for maintenance had stumbled upon the entrance to the cave. In the beginning, the German Navy tried to use these caves to build submarine supply depots, but the situation of the war took a sharp turn, and completely cutting off the Allied northern route did not help to change the situation, so the Reich top brass decided to build this place as a last fortress, and the engineers widened the caves and the passages between them, and finally became what it is today.

Listening to the narration of his companions, Lynn seemed to see the snowstorm in front of his eyes, the wounded German submarines were dying in the fjord, and the brave submarine repairmen dived into the icy waters one after another, and when they accidentally discovered the entrance to the cave, the surprise in their eyes was profound; After that, a large number of engineers arrived in secret, overcoming the initial hardships and gradually perfecting the facilities of the secret base. After a long time, Lynn came back to his senses and said with emotion: "I am fortunate to be here, and I have no regrets in this life!" ”

The non-commissioned officer shook his head slightly while smoking a cigarette and said, "If it's just a temporary avoidance, if we really let us stay in this place where we can't see the sun for decades, tsk, it's really enough to choke!" ”

Lynn took a cigarette in her mouth and asked rhetorically, "Do you think we'll stay here for the rest of our lives?" ”

The non-commissioned officer narrowed his eyes and thought: "Maybe it will, maybe it won't, it's hard to say!" Even if we were able to gather 100,000 of our most elite soldiers, build a thousand new warplanes, build hundreds of high-speed submarines, and successfully return to Germany, we would not be able to defeat the Soviet army's massive ground forces, let alone ...... We don't have all the resources we need, and it's great to be self-sufficient for a long time! ”

"Yes! Even if we have the resources, we don't have enough space and equipment here for large-scale military production, and a very small number of sophisticated weapons is still not enough to deal with a formidable enemy on both the eastern and western fronts! Lynn's analysis deliberately avoids the insurmountable fact that nuclear deterrence, in which the United States will soon build nuclear weapons, and the Soviets will follow, and that even if Germany's genius scientists can develop sophisticated weapons that are close to science fiction, they will not be able to match it. What's more, the longer the time passes, the weaker the people's sense of support in the homeland becomes, and when the restoration of the country is completely hopeless, the "refuge" will become a simple paradise!

"I don't know what they think!" The non-commissioned officer sighed, and the cigarette was not so-so, and he turned to comfort himself: "Forget it, don't think about it so much, since Marshal Rommel is willing to abandon his prestige and come here, there must be a clever plan, let's wait patiently!" ”

These words reminded Lynn, how could Rommel be stuck here when he couldn't see a way out? Lorentz. Bach was both talented and ambitious, and he was burdened with his father's hatred, how could he be willing to hide all his life?

As we chatted, the light outside the room dimmed – artificial lighting can certainly mimic the natural environment, but it can never replace sunlight. When Lynn talked about this, the non-commissioned officer laughed and said that when they captured the Maginot Line of the French in '40, they found something very interesting, and one of them was the infrared illumination chamber. The French considered that the defenders were underground for a long time and that the lack of sunlight would affect their physical functions, so they thought of using infrared instead of sunlight for "artificial light bathing", which is said to be quite popular with French soldiers. Such exposure rooms are also available in "shelters", where each person can normally go to the sun 1-2 times a week.

Hearing this, Lynn was speechless, it seems that the high-level management has really fully considered the needs of all parties, as if they are fighting a protracted war, and I don't know what eye-opening they have in terms of scientific and technological research and development and military production. First of all, in terms of people, they should bring the top experts and the best technicians, but it seems that when Germany was defeated and surrendered, many weapons experts, such as Braun, the father of rocketry, and Heisenberg, a nuclear physicist, were looted by the Allies or the Soviet Army when Germany was defeated and surrendered. Could it be that the implementation of the "Aryan Ark Project" could not keep up with the deterioration of the war situation, so that many experts did not have time to rush to make it, or did not make it out of their own personal will?

Thanks to the hospital's abundant medical staff, servicemen like Lynn do not need to go to the cafeteria to eat on their own, but are served by young female nurses who deliver "nutritious meals" to their beds. Lynn's mindset, accustomed to battlefield fighting, was overwhelmed by the fact that most of the young people who had passed in front of him in the day, and he clumsily thanked the nurse who brought him dinner, and asked her about the situation—it was said that in the afternoon there was another group of newcomers to the "Vault", mostly submariners, and some handsome young men in black uniforms. Hearing this description, Lynn guessed that it might have been a submarine that had departed from Germany on the same day, carrying tankmen and armored car drivers, and that with these elites, the Leopard tanks and armoured fighting vehicles in the weapons warehouse would not have become decorations. Of course, the premise is that there is enough oil, you must know that the reason why the German army lost the war, oil is definitely a fatal point!
