After a quick refueling trip, Lynn arrived in Bremen with a FI-282 light helicopter designed for ship-based reconnaissance/school firing and several land-based operations at the end of World War II. At this time, this important city, along with Oldenburg, Wilhelmshaven, and Norden to the west and north, was under the control of the Imperial Army, and they became the first "recovered territory" on the European continent since the end of World War II. With the "tacit ceasefire" between the warring parties, the stormy front of the imperial army was stabilized, and the general headquarters of the front line was moved from Copenhagen to Bremen.

In the early morning, Lynn stood on a slope and looked into the distance, the misty fields buried thousands of emperors and a terrifying number of Soviet officers and soldiers, and the two equally respectable gladiators once again threw blood in a merciless frontal fight, so that the oncoming wind was full of death. In the distant stands, ordinary spectators let out a burst of exclamation, while the "masters" of this bloody gladiatorial arena, the people behind the scenes who influence and drive the situation, always maintain a cold eye.

"Your Excellency, please follow me!"

Hearing this polite salutation, Lynn gathered his thoughts, turned calmly, gave a faint glance at the order officer who did not know his true identity, and walked from the inconspicuous porch to the headquarters located in the underground bunker.

During the "honeymoon period" between the empire and the Soviet Union, that is, the period when the war between the allies and the Soviet Union was most intense, the Soviet Union transferred a large number of German prisoners of war to northern Europe, which made the imperial army rapidly expand more than ten times in a short period of time, and then successfully repelled the Allied attack on northern Europe. These new forces are like flesh and blood, and the officers and men of the Imperial Guard, who have spent thousands of boring and tedious days in Northern Europe, but have been able to sharpen their spiritual will and fighting qualities, have become the solid bones of the giants of the Empire. Entering the headquarters, a burst of black dress Lynn attracted a lot of attention, but whether it was a colleague who had worked together in the Imperial Staff or a member of the Imperial Guard who had a relationship with one or several faces, none of them actually called him "General Gargo", but only showed a look of surprise, curiosity and even questioning, as if he had seen a non-existent undead in broad daylight.

Faced with such a situation. Lynn's heart was full of doubts, but Rommel's adjutant greeted him and said in a solemn voice: "Your Excellency, the Imperial Marshal is waiting for you!" ”

"Your Excellency". A very vague honorific title, which the lieutenant had not called himself in the past, made Lynn's curiosity even deeper.

In the middle office of the headquarters, Lynn met with the Imperial Marshal Erwin, who was even more legendary than herself. Rommel, the god of virtue who was given a state funeral five years ago, can be called the guardian of the post-Third Reich era, and he has played a crucial role from the original "Aryan Ark Project" to the transitional military preparation. In the combat operations against the landing of the Soviet army and the invasion of the Allied forces, he always served as the combat commander of the imperial team, and led the imperial team to win victory after victory in adversity with keen insight, decisive determination and unfathomable war intelligence.

In addition to Rommel, there were several other people in the room - Field Marshal Kleist, who had spent three years in a Soviet prisoner of war camp and is now 68 years old, and Hans, who held the titles of "High Military Commissar", "General of the Military Police" and "Special Inspector of the Führer". Andri, as well as the commander of the Second Imperial Expeditionary Regiment, Paul Brown. Hausel, commander of the 3rd Expeditionary Regiment, Joseph. Halpe. These people, without exception, have a glorious past and a prominent present, and ordinary people can't help but feel small in front of them, and have experienced everything that ordinary people dare not imagine. Lynn's state of mind is one step closer to being breezy and unfazed, so the true feelings in her heart are properly hidden under the bland facial expressions. In terms of aura, Lynn's steady aura is by no means lost to anyone. …,

"Welcome our heroes back from Dark Purgatory. And before paying my highest respects, I would like to ......"

Rommel said and turned his head to look at Andri, this was the first time Lynn had seen such a situation.

Andri, the most inconspicuous but not to be overlooked, stepped forward from the corner, took out the pre-prepared documents, cleared his throat, and read out: "Brave and loyal Imperial soldier, second recipient of the Imperial Knight's Cross, Permanent Honorary Governor of Tromsø, Special Admiral of the Imperial Guard...... Lynn. Gargo, killed on 7 May 1949 in a fierce battle on the outskirts of Bremen. His life has become an immortal legend, and his contribution to the Empire is enough to earn everyone's respect from the heart, and his spirit inspires all the soldiers of the Empire to continue to fight for the faith...... Unanimously approved by the Supreme Military Council of the Empire, posthumously awarded to Lynn. Gargo Marines with the rank of Major General, Imperial Golden Cross Battle Medal. And every year May 7 is designated as 'Gargo Day', forever remembering this imperial hero who sacrificed his life for the country! ”

Before coming here, Lynn expected that she would be rewarded and promoted, but she didn't expect it to be in such a way. If Lynn. Gargo has been killed, so who is standing in front of them at this moment?

"Hugo. Lord Horst! Andriy changed the second piece of paper and looked at Lynn with a meaningful look. read: "In view of the important contribution made by Your Excellency to the cause of the revival of the German Empire during your tenure as Deputy Leader of the German Baath Party, and the heroic sacrifice of His Excellency Stupf, the leader of the current German Baath Party, we look forward to Your Excellency becoming the new leader of the German Baath Party, leading the Baath Party members and the German people against the enemy who occupied the German territories, and accomplishing the unfinished business of the predecessors, and the Reich will give absolute support to Your Excellency and the party led by Your Excellency until the restoration of German freedom and independent ......"

Lynn. Gargo is dead, Hugo. Horst was still there, and the intentions of the upper echelons of the empire turned out to be so simple, Lynn couldn't help but be stunned. At this time, Rommel took the initiative to extend his right hand and gave a smile when shaking hands. In previous photos, the smile of the "desert fox" always makes people feel very friendly, and it is the embodiment of insidious cunning to the enemy, and in the post-Third Reich era hidden in northern Europe, he is most of the time with a cold expression, plus the loss of his left eye, and the eye-catching scar on his head, it looks like two people, only this elusive smile can make people vaguely see the former light of the god of war.

"This is the first time we have met, Your Excellency!" The old Marshal Kleist came over and said kindly, "I have heard a lot about you, and I admire you very much!" ”

Lynn smiled bitterly with embarrassment: "Your Excellency, I have admired you for a long time, and I am deeply honored to see you today!" ”

Under Kleist's introduction, Lynn shook hands with the commanders of the Imperial Expeditionary Corps one by one. Andriy deftly turned behind his colleagues until the last one stepped forward to shake hands. His smile and tone of voice still made Lynn feel uncomfortable, and everything that had happened in the past and his current status showed that he was not an easy character. Therefore, Lynn chose a polite greeting: "It is a pleasure to meet you, honorable General, and I salute you!" ”

After completing the simple greeting ceremony, Rommel said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I propose that we all pay the highest tribute to His Excellency the Leader and the warriors he represents, who have fought behind enemy lines under harsh conditions!" ”

Lynn should have felt extremely honored to receive the respect of these high-ranking generals, but he was not in the mood at all at the moment. Stupfer is dead, killed in battle, or violently killed, as long as it does not fall into the hands of the Soviet army, the greatest trouble is spared. Although Lynn did not like the political partner, felt that there was too much cowardice in his personality, and tried to wrest more party power from him, he was ultimately a key figure in the beginning of his political career. Had it not been for the Soviet occupation forces' influence on German internal affairs, the Baath Party might have taken a relatively modest path to power, while the cooperation between Lynn and Stupf would have continued until they reached the political pinnacle together...... Now suddenly hearing the news of Stupf's death, Lynn can't help but feel a kind of sadness for the death of a rabbit and a fox, in fact, from the very beginning, he and Stupfer both understand that they are pawns of the upper echelons of the empire, and they are the props of these "underground undead" who cannot face the sun to exercise power, even if they can get on the highest political stage of the country, it is difficult to change the fate of the forces subordinate to the empire. However, it is better to be such a gorgeous chess piece than nothing.

Despite resigned to the puppet role, Lynn felt that she and Stupf were not really taken seriously by the Empire's upper echelons, otherwise the Empire would have found a way to transport them to safety in the most difficult moments of the domestic situation, rather than leaving them alone in Soviet-occupied territory. With the slightest twist of fate, a bullet, a piece of shrapnel, or the random choice of a Soviet officer, Lynn could have suffered the same bad luck as Stuppf. Perhaps, the upper echelons of the empire tend to favor more easily manipulated characters, and Stupfher's sleekness and sophistication, as well as his own courage and talent, are suspected of being in the way of the master; Perhaps, the upper echelons of the empire are happy to try adventures in the sun when the situation is stable, so as to get rid of their behind-the-scenes careers and return to the real king, and large-scale military operations have already begun, and the need to cultivate proxies is naturally less urgent. Whatever the reason played a key role, Lynn had new ideas for his future, and before he gained the ability to challenge the darkness, Hugo. Horst's mask must be worn on his face at all times.
