Returning to cold Northern Europe from the warm North America, wearing a standard German short-brimmed military hat, wearing a long military coat, feet one foot apart, waist straight, hands behind the back, chin slightly raised, in this cool and cool posture, Lynn stood on the dock of the submarine cave, calmly and proudly watching the iron gate on the hidden channel slowly rise. Since the "defection", the only waterway has been equipped with double iron locks, and the main gate at the base headquarters must be opened to allow ships to enter and exit from here.

As the iron gate opened, the sea breeze poured in with a thick chill, and standing on the pier, I suddenly felt that the temperature around me dropped significantly. Although it was only the beginning of October, according to the weather station, the Norwegian sea was already very windy, and the temperature near the coast plummeted to around freezing. As a result of previous years, this kind of weather basically heralded the arrival of a cold polar winter, and it also meant that the "Vault" base would be shrouded in snow for a long half year, and would not be easily disturbed by outsiders.

Suddenly, a large submarine with all its marks erased from the waterway came in, and once it had passed through the low hole, the crew could not wait to raise a German naval flag, which fluttered in the wind and showed its indomitable spirit.

Flipping through the base's most core databases, Lynn has a much more detailed understanding of such an XXI-class submarine than historical sources. As the last and best class of large submarines of the Third Reich, its underwater navigation ability and silence effect surpassed that of any previous submarine. It is no exaggeration to say that if such submarines had been introduced two years earlier, even at the pace of construction in 1945, the Allied Atlantic routes would have been challenged like never before. Now, the sharp sword has temporarily lost the opportunity to cut its edge, and the nine submarines of the same class that retreated to the base under the "Aryan Ark Project" are still armed, but most of them are used for transportation missions. Whether it is returning home to attack the Allied summit or going to North America to carry out the "Ark of the Covenant Plan", almost all personnel and equipment are transported by these submarines. While most of the other submarines remained in the base caverns waiting for Call of Duty, they became worthy model workers.

The submarine was not carrying ordinary cargo, but a second shipment of trophies brought back from the distant shores of the ocean. Top physicists, experienced physics researchers, highly classified nuclear weapons materials, and elite commandos led by Major Blaze. Therefore, in addition to the sailors who were busy receiving the submarine docking, there were also a whole team of marines, military police wearing "dog tags" and several armored vehicles on call at this time, and a small train carrying passenger cars was also waiting by the dock.

Once the submarine docked, the sound of passwords and words on the boat came and went. Suddenly, Major Blaze came out of the hatch at the front of the submarine's tower, and although he had tidied up as much as he could, the submarine was not a laundry room after all, and it was equipped with professional facilities such as washing machines, dryers, and irons, so it still seemed to be dusty.

According to the rank of the military, the "special brigadier general" is equivalent to the brigadier general of the army, and now Lynn has become the "chief", but he still waits for Braz to come ashore with a smile, salutes each other, and then shakes hands in their characteristic way.

"Major! I'm so glad you made it to my wedding! ”

Bratz laughed: "Aha, I heard General Bach say it before I came, what is this called?" Good things come in pairs! Look, in a blink of an eye, you will enter the ranks of generals! It's really enviable! ”

"I'm just an idea, the real battle is still up to everyone!"

Speaking of which, Lynn and Blaze's joy just now was somewhat subdued, although this was an unprecedentedly successful raid, but 7 commandos were sacrificed before and after, and more than a dozen others were injured to varying degrees. If you go back further, the 50 Imperial soldiers who went to Potsdam to raid the Allied summit were almost all wiped out, including more than 20 "vampire" commandos.

Whether it is worth it or not can only be left to future generations to judge.

With the help of the crew, Dr. Frank and six other technicians walked across the deck with curious eyes, rather than being covered in black as Lynn had done. It's not that the base guards are negligent, but because the "Vault" is relatively closed to Los Amos, and even if you are familiar with the internal structure, it will be difficult to escape. What's more, the top management of the base also intends to let these pretentious experts take a good look at this miraculous hidden base.

"General Bach also asked me to pass this on to you, and I wish you a happy marriage!"

Blaze pulled out an envelope from his pocket, and in Western tradition, it was naturally not a casual gift. The commandos who had returned to the base with the submarine happened to be ashore, and the attention of the gendarmes was again on the specialists, and Lynn quickly tore open the envelope. There were two sheets of paper folded inside, one with a letter wishing the newlyweds happiness, and the other a short poem with no name.

That day, God arranged for us to meet, I remember the grand dream under the stars, the day the Grim Reaper brought grief and bad news, I remember the sincere wish before we went on our journey, that day you returned from purgatory, I stood in the wind with the battle flag, we were scarred all over our bodies, our hearts were like rocks, the black crows peeked at the treetops, the lone wolf bared its teeth in the bushes, all kinds of hardships and dangers, endless ups and downs, we are still fighting, no regrets, one day, we will rise again, let our flags flutter in the sun, between the lines, the past scenes are quickly reflected in front of Lynn's eyes, there is the pride of growth, there is the heroism of victory, But it is more about the helplessness, loneliness and sorrow in the process of retreating, the sorrow for the deceased companions, and the hope for the future written in the heaviness and decline.

"One day, we will rise again and regain the power to walk in the sun!"

Lynn said mermer.

On October 9, 1945, the bell rang for the only church in the base of the "Sanctuary".

The Führer stood on the top and announced the union of the newlyweds in his deep, old voice.

At the height of the German Empire, he also officiated at weddings for his cronies, in the crisp foothills of the Alps, on the warm beaches of Rügen, and under the canopy of an old church in Berlin...... This is the 469th young couple to marry at the "Vault" base, of which the vast majority are military and non-military female surnames, and more than half of the new wives are pregnant.

In this atmosphere of happiness and celebration, the lifeblood of the empire is quietly continuing.

The base cave is a natural shelter from the wind, and the bad weather does not affect the life inside. Under the bright lights, the champagne wine lacks only green grass, and the laughter and laughter only have little sunshine, all of which seem to confirm an old oriental saying: perfect and beautiful.

At Lynn's special request, not only Major Blaze and the commandos who had just returned from North America attended the wedding, but also Oppenheimer, Frank, and Fermi, the world's top physicists and technical experts, who had been escorted to the base one after another, were also invited to attend.

It's all here, but Lorenz is missing. Bach.

On the same day that Lynn became Special Brigadier General and Chief of Strategic Staff at the base camp, the Führer formally issued an order for him to take on the new position of Chief of Intelligence for North America. Although the Empire was prepared to invest heavily in building a vital intelligence network in North America, such a position could not be compared to that of the Chief of Staff of the Strategic Staff.

It seems that there are clear rewards and punishments, but Lynn has a kind of wordless sourness. Even if a person can't be great, if he can be as impartial and selfless as Bach, he has already fought to a very noble level.

After Bach's transfer, the post of chief of the General Staff of the Strategic Staff was concurrently held by Field Marshal Rommel, and the two major staff departments in the base were almost merged.

As for the "vampire" commando, it still exists in concealment as a unit directly under the base camp, directly under the command of the head of the empire.

Standing in the center of praise, blessings, and applause, Lynn inevitably felt like a dream. Just a few days ago, he didn't even know where his feelings were headed, and just a few days later, honor, status, marriage, the great empire had helped him take care of everything. Still, he struggled to keep himself and keep his head clear. Although the existence of the Führer has made everything smooth and beautiful, the competition of forces and power struggles behind the appearance have not been eliminated, and history has also proved with vivid and vivid facts that internal strife is often more bloody and cruel than foreign wars!

"Thank you, my Führer! Thank you, Honorable Madam Führer! ”

Lynn thanked Adolf. Hitler and his official, legal wife, Eva. Braun thanked him. Although the two are 23 years apart, they feel like father and daughter when they stand together, but they still break through the constraints of the world and come together. When they looked at each other, the look in them touched Lynn like never before.

A truly great person should have love in his heart.

The once invincible reader, the heartless madman who showed himself as arrogant, excited, and stubborn, woke up from the collapse of the empire after the blow of the decline and sickness, and his mentality and tone had changed greatly, he held Lynn's hand, and said calmly, calmly and even with some kindness: "Young man, the future of the empire is in your hands, and sinking or rising will be your cause." ”

This was an unprecedented encouragement, but the moment he turned around, Lynn saw a vision for the future in the blank eyes of this white-haired old man, he was the most ambitious person in this era after all, how could he let go of power so easily?

Lynn was determined to be a capable and unambitious subordinate, at least for the sake of it.

In such an internal public occasion, Rommel still brought his beloved wife to such a celebratory occasion. This time, his gift to Lynn was almost identical to that of the Führer, except that the same words came from different mouths, but with very different meanings.

Now, on the occasion of the Führer's appearance, Goebbels has once again played the role of shadow retinue, and he always silently keeps the most appropriate distance and never says a word. But his beautiful little angels are eye-catching bright colors everywhere, and this time as a wedding flower girl, it also added a lot of joy to the scene.
