"Fellow citizens, if you have not forgotten the towns and villages that were plundered by the enemy, if you have not forgotten the women and girls who were bullied and abused by the enemy, if you have not completely lost the courage to defend your homeland, then join us, German Free Regiment! Defend our relatives and friends together, and defend our compatriots together! Joining the Freedom Regiment does not necessarily mean that you have to resist the enemy's frenzied attack on the battlefield, maybe all you do is to maintain traffic order, assist the elderly and children to transfer and torture, and your small dedication can save them from falling into the clutches of the enemy! Perhaps all you have to do is transport supplies, get ammunition to the front-line soldiers, or transfer the most precious food to a safer place, so that our people don't suffer from starvation in the days to come! Join the Freedom Regiment・・・・・・"

In a corner of Berlin's Königsplatz, a middle-aged man in a gray coat delivers an impassioned speech to an onlooker in a subdued tone, sometimes waving his fists, sometimes stretching his arms, and expressing his views through a combination of verbal and body language. At the corner of the street outside the crowd, a black Mercedes-170J stopped for a while, the window glass was half-open, and the two people in the back seat listened thoughtfully to the man's conversation.

"Let's drive!" A young man in a crisp suit in the back seat of the car slowly rolled up the window as he instructed the driver.

"It's really inflammatory, not bad!" In the back seat of the car, another middle-aged man who also wears a brand-name suit, but whose age and figure are difficult to set off the sense of handsomeness, commented on the brief temporary observation in an approving tone.

The young man steadily closed the curtains of the car and said calmly: "Are you praising our propaganda slogan, or do you think that the propagandist just now is very talented?" ”

The chaotic and complicated situation and the slightly passive situation made the middle-aged man's mood not seem very high, and he replied gently: "The combination of the two is close to perfect." ”

The young man, who also had some experience and a knack for observing words and feelings, put away his superfluous words and said succinctly: "What we have done when the army is mired in the quagmire is also good for the stability of the country, if the Soviets are allowed to enter and occupy Germany safely, do not think that they will keep their previous promises, but the diplomatic credibility of the Soviet Union is known to the whole world to be inferior!" ”

"I know! I know! The middle-aged man replied with some irritation. There is a capable cadre around you who can worry a lot less, but when this cadre is strong enough to match or even surpass his influence, that sense of threat is not something that everyone can bear.

With doom looming, the city was filled with cars of residents rushing through Brandenburgplatz into Wilhelmstraße, passing the former site of the Reich Chancellery. For three years, people have remembered the leader who made the world tremble in various ways, but due to the obstruction of the Allied occupation forces, many historic monuments have been eroded by the wind and rain.

"One day, it will stand again before the world." The young man muttered autonomly, but the middle-aged man next to him only sighed softly.

A short time later, the car drove up to the president's office. Lynn, deputy leader of the German Ba'ath Party, deputy commander-in-chief of the German Free Regiment, and co-owner of a series of secret identities, calmly pushed the door and got out of the car, while his political partner, the leader of the German Baath Party and the commander-in-chief of the German Free Mission, Stupf, pretended to be calm and calm, but there was a worry and anxiety that was not difficult for careful people to detect.

At this moment, the main force of the German Wehrmacht has been "lost" in the Polish battlefield, and the officers and soldiers who remain in the country have also lost their freedom due to the special control of the allies, but at least the perimeter of the presidential office is still guarded by German soldiers. Looking up at these tall and dignified gun-wielding soldiers, Stupfer's "thief-mindedness" became more and more obvious. …,

In Lynn's view, the resourcefulness, vision, mind, and courage of those who achieve great things are indispensable, compared to Adolf, who climbed to the top through the political road. Hitler, Stupfer is still too "ordinary". As a result, the military and political officials and the ordinary secretaries of the presidential office did not witness the majestic arrival of the two leaders - the young were fearless, and the older were preoccupied with the future.

Entering the president's office without waiting, President Hof-Huls was in the same state as Stupffer, and perhaps in order to calm the scene, he invited von Hulse at the same time. Weix and Feng. Qu Hillel, the two core generals of the German Defense Forces, their serious expressions naturally made Stupf's aura even weaker.

The president froze and said in a deep voice, "Please be seated, two of you!" We invite all of you here today for the sole purpose of avoiding a repeat of the mistakes of 1919, when we should all have witnessed for ourselves that Germany was on the verge of civil war, and that internal chaos led directly to external weakness. At that time, in order to maintain the stability of the country, many malicious disturbers should have been shot! ”

As he said this, Hove-Huls's gaze continued to exchange between the two generals and Stupfher, and the two generals nodded solemnly in response to the formation of a scene of unanimous pressure on the Baath Party leader, and Lynn, who was not born at all in 1919, seemed to be forgotten at random......

At this juncture, it was impossible to wait for Stupfer's strong counterattack, and Lynn said loudly with a high posture full of righteous indignation: "That's right, at this critical moment of the country's life and death, there are still malicious disturbers who take the opportunity to harass residents and rob public and private property, it is too hateful, we formed a free regiment in order to unite the people and stop this kind of sabotage." After all, in addition to the simple disturbers, some of the vicious incidents that occur in various places should be instigated by hostile forces or even directly committed by spy personnel! ”

As soon as Lynn said this, the original atmosphere in the room suddenly changed "beyond recognition", except for Stupfer who did not turn his head, the president and the two generals all looked at Lynn with strange eyes. In their eyes, Lynn is a very unpleasant thorn!

"What His Excellency the Deputy Leader said seems to make a lot of sense, but after all, you are too young to experience those unbearable years firsthand." When he was also a cabinet minister, he cultivated some petty friendships. Weix said politely, "A country can only have a legitimate government and a legitimate armed force, otherwise there will be a situation that cannot be controlled by anything."

What's more, the name of the Freedom Regiment is too sensitive, and it sounds like it has a secret connection with the Free Empire of Northern Europe. ”

"Ah, that may be a mistake on our part." Lynn responded swiftly, "So be it! We'll change the name when we go back, the Self-Defense Corps? Security Corps? or...

President Hof-Huls, apparently very unhappy with Lynn's attempt to get by, exasperated: "It's not a matter of name at all, one country, one government, one army, this is a principle that cannot be violated!" ”

"But the Freedom Regiment is not an army, and we never intended to make it an army."

Lynn argued in a slightly lower tone, and as a result, Hof-Hulse's rebuttal blurted out

"The stormtroopers weren't an army at first, but then?"

Just as the scene was about to reach a stalemate, Lynn said in a voice that was self-muttering but clear enough for others to hear: "Every historical period has its specific product, and it is undeniable that the appearance of the stormtroopers changed the fate of this country, giving it a period of revival and glory that lasted for more than ten years." ”…,

This completely irritated Hoff-Huls, who was originally known for his easy-going and gentle personality as a "people's politician" with angry eyes: "You ・・・・・・"

At this time, Feng's expression had not changed much. Qu Hillel hit the nail on the head and asked: "Could it be that the Baath Party formed the Freedom Regiment to relive the fate of the stormtroopers back then?" ”

Stupf, who was sitting on the sofa, shuddered as if he had been mortally threatened by a man with a sharp blade face to face.

Lynn replied unhurriedly, "No, sir, we have no intention of threatening the position of the army, we have no intention of threatening the stability of the country - on the contrary, we will not hesitate to support the army against the enemy, and do everything we can to maintain the stability of the country." At the current demographic structure, we have more than 10 million healthy men of working age, and only 1 in 10 are in the military. In the face of the surging attack of the old enemy, the remaining people should not pick up guns to defend the homeland, at least give them a chance to protect their families and compatriots with their own strength! Our free regiment can maintain traffic order, protect and repair important bridges and highways; It can help civilians move from dangerous combat areas to relatively safe rear, avoiding unnecessary losses in the process of transfer; Our Freedom Regiment can also help the army deliver supplies and build fortifications, and a group of organized people must be much more efficient than scattered people! ”

In terms of tone, phrasing, and inflammation, this calm explanation is certainly not as good as the street propagandist who preceded it, but it is undoubtedly more appropriate for a special occasion. For the first time since the two Baathistists entered the room, there was a brief silence in the room, and the two generals seemed to be shaken in their positions, and President Hof-Huls was dumbfounded and did not know what to retort. Of course, Lynn is not a naïve young man, he will think that a simple sentence can dispel the concerns of those in power, he just sees the essence behind the matter - in the current situation of the great enemy, these generals with good military quality but mediocre political vision do not have the courage to "fight outside must first settle inside", not to mention that their troops are being pressed by the suspicion of the allies and are being pressed to their respective stations. That is to say, no matter how much the President and the generals of the army coerce and induce them with their momentum and language, they cannot change their weakness in the face of the situation. Lynn did not share this with Stuppher, and was reluctant to explain the persuasion as before, in order to change the psychological position between them while their identities remained the same—it was time to distinguish between those who were dominant and who were subordinate!
