Chapter 20: They Come from Hell (Part II)

"Those who served in the SS, including SS intelligence...... Raise your hand, please."

In the utility room of the tavern in the Spanish town of Dogo, wearing a white shirt and gray pants, he claimed to be the intelligence officer of the Western European Intelligence Department from the Imperial Headquarters. Steve's young man made a request in a soft and gentle tone.

At this time, young and middle-aged, most of them are manual laborers, and drinking alcohol is undoubtedly a habitual way for this group of people to reduce their work fatigue. When they first saw the alloy casting "Nazi Eagle", they had already swept away the previous slightly drunk and confused state, some were in high spirits, some were more vigilant than vigilant, and some were simply surprised. In response to the request of the young stranger, they looked at each other and exchanged simple glances. Acknowledging one's past is not entirely a matter of courage, but an act of personal and family safety. Since the end of the war, the Allies have carried out arrests of absconding German military personnel, and although it is difficult to openly extend this operation to independent and sovereign non-Allied countries, it cannot be ruled out that the victims of the war, especially Jewish organizations, may be captured or even strangled by other means.

Spain was a great refuge for the absconders of the Third Reich, but it was not a safe haven.

In the process of people's hesitation, the two young people from outside showed a composure beyond their years, and this also alleviated people's concerns to a certain extent. After a while, four men, three young men and one middle-aged, slowly raised their right hands with a strange look of death. This gesture can vaguely see the shadow of the fanatical salute of the year. The young man from outside, who was the leader, nodded, and said in the same loose tone:

"Those who have served in Wehrmacht units, including Wehrmacht intelligence...... Raise your hand, please."

This time, it was a bit more cheerful to raise their hands, with a total of 19 people raising their hands, including Goatee, suggesting that he had earlier worked in the Military Intelligence Bureau in Canaris. It was precisely because of this ease of work that the number of Wehrmacht personnel who had fled here was so high, and looking back at the comrades who had been captured by the Allies, and the compatriots who had lived in hardship in Germany, the pain and hardship of choosing to flee in the first place was well worth it.

If the expressions of these two young foreigners at first were regarded as normal temperatures, then after these two raises of hands, their expressions warmed up slightly, adding an element of cordiality and kindness. The leader spoke again: "Well, then, those who have worked in other Reich institutions besides the SS and the Wehrmacht, including government clerks and military technicians...... Raise your hand, please."

The people in the room, who had not raised their hands twice before, raised their hands this time, and none of them were missed.

"Okay, ladies and gentlemen, we have already introduced ourselves, and we are here today on a very important mission. You may find it strange that the Great German Reich had already signed a surrender agreement with the Allies in May 1945, and that the whole of Germany was under Allied occupation. It is a great honor that we are the group of people who seem to have lost their minds, but in fact, this madness has a dual basis of spiritual and material. Please look at the back of the eagle emblem, the words are familiar to every German. The occupiers tried in vain to disintegrate our minds and isolate our souls by dividing and occupying Germany and building isolation, but even in the most difficult of times, there was still a group of people who followed our leader, our unique Führer, and continued to fight for the survival of Germany. ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar, not only the goatee's eyes widened, but the rest of the people felt unbelievable. Soon, a stout middle-aged man questioned: "Little brother, I don't mean the slightest disrespect to the Führer when I say this, but the whole world knows that he has coexisted with the empire, how can you convince us today with only words?" Besides, many of us here have fought and shed blood for the Führer, and the painful memories of the battlefield are still engraved in our minds, and you may not have the deepest experience at this age, we have tasted enough, and there is no need to risk our lives for those noble ideals. ”

Another man in his thirties also responded: "Yes, young man, you don't seem to have served on the Eastern Front, we are not afraid of the cruelty of the Russians, but we will not always fight for hopeless hope."

"I am 26 years old today and have been in the intelligence department of the SS for 5 years. You are right, I did not take part in the battles on the front lines, nor did I fight the fierce Russian army head-on, but I have seen your heroic posture in various newspapers, photographs and documentaries, and I am full of admiration and admiration for you, and I have sworn allegiance to the immortal German Empire, and I still maintain this belief today. "Yes, the Führer swore to live and die with the Empire, he did not turn his back on this faith, the Empire slept, he also slept, and when the Empire reawakened, he also returned to us and led us to victory with his great will"...,

Although this sounded a little ridiculous, none of the people present showed a disdainful smile, but pondered the meaning of these words with great amazement.

"You said you came with a sacred mission to tell us this?" The goatee standing by the door asked.

Only then did the young man from outside realize that he had just deviated from the topic, he paused, and said in a firm tone: "I just said that there is such a group of people with strong will, and the greatest success of this group of people is to make a big war break out between the Western Allies and the Soviet army, which provides space for the recovery of the empire. We have come today with the Führer's directive, and if you love Germany and are willing to give your life for it, please stay here, or leave on your own. ”

The people in the room were finally no longer satisfied with eye contact, but exchanged heads and ears, forming a buzzing sound. For two minutes, when the first man stood up and was about to walk towards the door, there was a look of surprise in the eyes of the handsome-looking and calm-looking young man, and when he saw the second and third standing up, he could not help but move, and before the first man opened the door and went out, he said: "Here I need to remind everyone who has given up his love for his country, that as long as you still have a little fear of Germany, then please keep your mouth shut about what you have just heard and seen, if you go to tell our enemies by this, Even if you can get a temporary benefit, the future will be spent in remorse and guilt. ”

These words were like the reassurance of the audience by the failed speaker, who was inexperienced and could not give a firm hint, but fortunately, the goatee standing at the door stopped the middle-aged man with a beard who was about to go out first, and he said calmly: "Guys, why don't you listen before leaving?" If it's just a political difference, let's take it as an auditory hallucination."

Hearing the goatee's words, the six people who got up one after another stopped. It was evident that they had not made this decision out of fear, but out of a sense of family duty or despair of the old regime, and Goatee knew them better than the two young men who had returned to the country for the first time.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, the young man paused, raised his voice and said: "You can prove your love for Germany in one of three ways: first, go directly with us and return to your former comrades-in-arms, where the conditions may be more difficult, but you can put on the German uniform again, or join the administrative, scientific and industrial departments to play your role." Second, wait for the call to battle, and the Greater German Empire will return to the stage of history in two years, when the government and the army will be rebuilt, and then we will officially recall the subjects of the Reich from all over the world to fight for our revival and rise. Third, continue to stay where you are now, and support the revival of the Empire by donating money and materials, even if it is enough to pray for your comrades who remain in the Imperial Army."

"All right," said Goatee, spreading his hands, "Ladies and gentlemen, you will not refuse the last of the third way."

Hearing this, those who wanted to leave returned to their positions just now. Seeing this scene, the young man looked at the goatee gratefully, if it weren't for the help of this former colleague, his debut might have been a failure.

"Where are you going? Back to Germany? ”。 A young voice asked.

"No, our current base camp is not in Germany, and I don't know exactly where it is, but you will know it when you get on the ship, and I can absolutely guarantee that." Headed by the young man Karl. Steve replied with an oath.

"Sir, you have only given us such information, and this eagle insignia that is difficult to call a token, it is difficult for us to make a decisionIn Spain, we can still get the protection of our old friends, if we leave here, we may be captured by the Allies to work as coolies" Another voice came from the corner, it had a mocking tone, but it still did not cause people to laugh, there was no shortage of novel jokes in the tavern, but this time the people seemed very serious.

"I'm sorry," the young man shrugged, "and everyone knows that at the end of the war, it was impossible for our army to withstand the tide of enemies from both the east and west, and the only way to keep the empire alive was to hide and preserve its strength, and I didn't know of this astonishing fact until half a year ago, and I didn't hesitate to believe it then, and now this trust is being happily repaid." We have heard from our superiors that the Empire has mastered the technology of the atomic bomb, and that we have dropped the one that caused the war between East and West. ”…,

The middle-aged man leaning against the door did not respond at first, but when there were many people asking, he clapped his hands and motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then said: "It is not difficult to make a decision, and if you like this quiet life, choose the latter two ways that this Mr. Steve speaks, and in turn, those who have no family concerns and are willing to take risks for the sake of the German faith will follow them." As for your choice, I'll wait for the call to battle."

Since the convener said so, most people naturally chose the latter two, which had more room for manoeuvre, except for two young men who were not young and middle-aged, and decided to go on an adventure. Before leaving, he called himself Carl. Steve's young man said to the crowd: "One day we will return here with the glorious German flag, and I hope that then you will be truly moved by this indomitable will, and put aside your old hatreds to fight side by side with us."

The caution of former Imperial soldiers and official functionaries in hiding in Spain was understandably and predictable, compared to the more smoothly assembled operations of the Empire in South America. Since the end of the 19th century, a large number of European immigrants have come to this wonderful land in the southern hemisphere with a sense of adventure and dreams of getting rich, they have started mines, run plantations or other industries, most of them have lived a prosperous life, and have chosen a rational attitude in the two world wars, but many young Germans who were not born in Germany are full of yearning for their homeland, they are easily influenced by the idea of Greater Germany, and they become adventurous, martial and pursue German honor. These provided a living environment for the survival and development of the revivalous forces of the empire. You must know that in 1945, when Germany had just been defeated, there were only more than 1,000 SS troops who came to South America through various means, plus the intelligence network established here by the Wehrmacht's Military Espionage Bureau and the SS intelligence department, there were less than 2,000 people who adhered to the faith, and the camps and secret bases established earlier were also facing the pressure of the general environment, and in the most difficult period of the second half of 1945, the operation of these bases was difficult, and some people continued to choose to give up and quit, but fortunately, everything did not develop to the point of no return. With the Vault base firmly established, high-level dispatches began to regroup their presence in South America. With clear objectives and financial support, the South American intelligence network was consolidated and expanded, secret bases for fugitives began to transform into integrated military production bases, and large political investments in Argentina and Chile paid off, all in a virtuous circle. In the war between the Western Allies and the Soviet Union, Brazil was the first to choose a side to join the United States and Britain, and Argentina first declared neutrality and then received economic and military assistance from the United States, thus becoming the fourth American country to declare war on the Soviet Union.

After Brazil and Argentina declared war on the Soviet Union, the mood to suppress and be wary of Germanic forces at home shifted dramatically, and those of Russian descent and Bolsheviks became the "new gangsters" who were under criticism. After receiving instructions from the top, the Reich's lurkers secretly gathered old troops and recruited new soldiers in the more powerful southern Argentina and Chile, and in a short time gathered hundreds of former SS members, and more than 1,000 German immigrants joined the Reich's overseas corps as volunteers, and they would receive regular military training in the Empire's secret bases in South America, and once the army was formed, they would travel to northern Europe by sea to join the elite Imperial Guard.

On the open-air playground on an island in southern Argentina, more than 200 recruits braved the cold wind and walked in a queue, repeating the boring movements over and over again, and when they were resting in the training room, a middle-of-the-middle, thin young man near the end of the team suddenly shouted: "Ah...... Yes...... Hey, hell, it's really boring Hey, sergeant, when are we going to get a real gun? ”

The tall but swarthy non-commissioned officer walked up to this guy with his hands behind his back and glanced at him coldly: "You joined the army just to play with guns?" Do you think this is an amusement park? ”

The young man, who didn't know the height of the sky, sniffled and said disdainfully: "Of course, it's to fight with the enemy, but how can you fight without even using a gun?" Could it be that the confrontation on the battlefield is a competition of which side of the team walks neatly? ”

"The confrontation on the battlefield is far more cruel and bloody than you think, and you can't even stand this little bit of suffering, I think you should sign up as a repairman, so that there will be fewer opportunities to face the enemy, and it will be safer." The non-commissioned officer said coldly and sarcastically. …,

The young man felt humiliated, and immediately said angrily: "Hmph, what does suffering have to do with fighting, does the best general have to blow the cold wind with a low-level non-commissioned officer like you?" They stay forever in the warm headquarters and plan the battle, relying on their brains, brains"

The non-commissioned officer did not get angry, but squinted at him: "You were born and raised in Argentina, right, what did your father do?" ”

The young man triumphantly replied, "How about running a large plantation with annual sales of hundreds of thousands of dollars?" ”

The non-commissioned officer shook his head and said, "It seems that I have to remind those guys in the recruitment office again that the descendants of immigrants like you don't need to look at it, and just kick out the door of the recruitment office." ”

"What did you say?" The young man grabbed the non-commissioned officer with a sharp grasp, completely unaware of how rare and dangerous such a maneuver was in the German army.

The corner of the non-commissioned officer's mouth was slightly raised, his right foot stepped forward, his body turned to the left, and his thick right arm hooked the young man's neck, and he fell sideways at lightning speed.

"An arrogant, stupid and cowardly fellow like you is not qualified to enter the German army, you are tarnishing the honor of this army, drag your snot back to your estate, and continue your dream of knighthood on the wooden horse" said the non-commissioned officer hatefully, at this moment, he may have thought of his own scene in the German army, surrounded by serious, rigorous and energetic figures, the smiles of his comrades are so sincere and kind, perhaps only the German soil can raise elite divisions that can recruit soldiers, There are only descendants of immigrants who are vaguely aware of Germanic beliefs, and forging them into an invincible army is probably no less than training rabbit jugglers.

The young man got up with a muddy face, stared at the non-commissioned officer with red eyes, and said, "You are a vulgar non-commissioned officer who also understands knightly dreams? I'm not afraid to tell you that my grandfather was a colonel in the Guards Cavalry, and my father, who was close to the military academy at the age of 15, was able to become an officer as soon as he graduated, and only had to come to Argentina because of a change in his family. He dreamed of returning to Germany and fulfilling his dream of being a soldier, and I came to fulfill that wish for him."

"Really?" Hearing this, the non-commissioned officer's eyes softened, but he still said in a disdainful tone: "The cavalry has been swept into the corner of history by tanks, if you want to become a modern soldier, you must have comprehensive capabilities, and what you are doing now is only the most basic first step, if you can't even do obedience, you don't even have the most basic endurance and patience, and the rest is simply not to talk about it" ......,
