May 7, 1951, in the center of Berlin. Two days earlier, the Soviet-German armistice had come into effect, and millions of Soviet troops had slowly retreated eastward like a flood of ebbing tides. Although there were still columns loaded with Soviet soldiers and tanks and artillery on the railway lines near Berlin, hundreds of thousands of Germans could not wait to gather on Linden and Pariser Platz. Six years ago, on this day, Germany officially announced its surrender, and the canonical Third Reich came to an end. In the past six years, Germany has been on the verge of being dismembered and divided several times, and in times of crisis, those fighters who had been hidden in the shadows of history have stood up, they raised their arms and shouted, they fought to the death, and created an earth-shattering reversal with extraordinary courage and wisdom. In order to protect the integrity of the country, to defend the dignity of the nation, and for today's glorious victory, countless people have lost their young and precious lives, and countless people have shed their scorching blood. The road they have traveled is extremely difficult, the effort they have put in is several times that of ordinary people, they are often in danger, and they have repeatedly escaped death. When the heroes once again stood in the center of the country, under the Brandenburg Gate, a symbol of victory and honor, they burst into tears and embraced each other silently.

In front of the Brandenburg Gate, there is a sea of happiness.

Here, at the end of World War II, the Imperial soldiers who had fled to the cold of Northern Europe returned with their old uniforms and freshly erased medals on their chests. Some of them are full of vigor, some are old, some are able-bodied, and some are disabled. Although they were once war criminals wanted by the Allies and have died in the eyes of their relatives and friends, they are undoubtedly heroes to this indomitable nation, and they fully deserve the admiration and praise of those around them!

Here, the soldiers who had been prisoners of war by the Allied forces returned with their burdens, most of them experiencing unimaginable humiliation and suffering, and their lives were tenacious enough and their will was strong enough compared to those who died in foreign lands. Returning to the battlefield against their old enemies, they were vindicated, they were invincible, they achieved redemption with victory, they completed nirvana in the flames, they were able to raise their proud heads and be baptized under the banner of Germany!

The German generals who once left a heavy mark on the battlefield are back, their arrogance no longer exists, their arrogance has not changed!

The engineers who have been quietly working in the field of equipment development and manufacturing are back, and their wisdom and talent are the most valuable asset of this country and an important cornerstone of its re-emergence!

The warriors who took up arms and waged guerrilla warfare between the mountains and forests returned, they always attacked more with less and stronger with weak, and their attacks and sabotage made irreplaceable contributions to the collapse of the Soviet army!

The living are back, they can cheer to their heart's content, they can cry uncontrollably, and those who gave their lives can only listen to the victory bells in the distance.

If their souls are still there, if their spirits are not dead, the pain they have suffered, the hearts they have broken, and even the will that they have lost will are no longer important at this moment.

Outside the noisy crowd, through the transparent glass window, the gray-haired Adolf. Hitler seemed to be transformed into a sculpture, and he watched the cheering crowd for a long time, gazing at the flag fluttering in the wind on the Brandenburg Gate. The unforgiving years can make his face old, his movements sluggish, and even his memories blurred, but the feeling of enjoying the glory of victory and receiving the cheers of the crowd will not be extinguished, just as the Germans will not forget the hope and glory that this leader once brought them.

In Adolf. Behind Hitler, Joseph. Goebbels, Erwin. Rommel and other dignitaries of the Empire, who had long been on the death register, looked at the crowd outside with the same calm mood. After a bloody battle, Germany has finally been reborn, and the Germans will rebuild their homes from the ruins. Although the process will be long and arduous, there is nothing more rewarding than living in the sun of freedom. However, the enemy was not completely defeated, the Soviet army was only forced to accept the armistice because of the dilemma of internal and external difficulties, the support of the Western allies was only a collusion of interests, and the living environment of Germany was not stable, once the souls of these empires came out of the grave, it was bound to break the current fragile balance. Even if the Allies could remain neutral, the Soviets would have attacked on a large scale without mercy, and with Germany's national strength, it would have been impossible to win such a war in ten years.

As a result, Lynn became the one who stood in the sunlight and received the cheers of the people, and the reversal of victory in the war also made his personal prestige unprecedented. Even so, he has a clear understanding of his political roots and ability to govern the country. For a long time to come, he will have to rely on the leaders of the empire behind the scenes to maintain the stability of the country, until a new generation of army generals and internal affairs officials replace the old people of the empire, and regime change is like a metabolism, a natural concern that no one can change.

The sky is the vast sky. When Lynn crossed time and space to become a nameless soldier in the end of the empire, he thought about giving up, thinking about fleeing, and finally chose a path to fight against fate. On this long and tortuous road, he created one historical turning point after another with extraordinary courage and courage, and finally created his own vast sky, the imperial firmament.
