Lynn's belief that the "sacred oath" has a unique place in the hearts of every soldier who has experienced the glory and suffering of the Third Reich, so he accentuates the tone of this particular word. The reaction on the scene was as he had hoped, with the officers and soldiers crowding towards the hotel hesitated, and the commotion of the crowd was greatly diminished, as if a bucket of stirred sauce had suddenly solidified, and order had re-formed in a state of chaos.

The matter took advantage of the situation, and Lynn said steadily: "German soldiers, please listen to me!" I'm Hugo. Horst, diplomat appointed by the German Provisional Government to the Netherlands, Second Counsellor. I am well aware that coming here today is likely to cost me my good salary and position, and may even ruin my future in the diplomatic community, but I am here and stand here steadfastly. Soldiers, I am sure that you, like everyone here, have a deep love for our Germany, and I am sure you are aware of the consequences of the atomic bombing of Kiel. The Soviets did not deny this time that they were going to attack Kiel, and the reason was well known - there was an Allied fleet here. However, Kiel was not only a well-equipped port, but also the cradle of the German navy, the home of the Kiel, most of us here lived not too far from Kiel, and we did not come here to embarrass our government, but to defend Kiel in our own way! Defend Kiel! ”

After Lynn's repeated repeats, the Baath party members and a part of the crowd in the audience shouted the slogan "Defend Kiel", and the sound spread rapidly, and soon everyone in the whole neighborhood raised their arms and shouted, the German soldiers' previous momentum was completely suppressed, they became a real minority, encouragers, they stood in a daze, and several officers tried to beckon the soldiers to move on, but to no avail.

Successfully controlling the atmosphere of the scene, Lynn turned his head sideways and looked at Stuppf, the party leader had just changed to Lynn's flank and back position, and there was still a look of horror in his eyes, and he sincerely admired Lynn's performance.

Lynn nodded slightly at Stupf, signaling that he could relax a little, then turned his head and faced the audience with a straight and upright posture, and said "We are defending Kiel, we are defending North Germany, and we are also defending the inviolable dignity of Germany!" ”

The noise had subsided, the neighborhood had fallen silent, the empty passages that had been reserved for the military had merged, and hundreds of officers and soldiers had been drowned in the tens of thousands of people.

"German soldiers, look at the people around you! They are your compatriots, your family, some of them old and some of them are defenseless, but they have the most admirable courage in the world, and they are here ready to defend the dignity of Germany with their flesh and blood. Just yesterday, arm-in-arm, bravely facing wires and bayonets, shouting with our voices and showing German tenacity with our spirits, we shook our opponents and will hold on until they leave in disgrace. German soldiers, I respect your profession, respect your fearless character and sacrifice spirit in the two world wars, even if you are unable to fight against fate due to the restrictions of your superiors and military status, we can understand and understand, even without your support, we will still fight to the end, but if you are here to arrest us, to prevent us from defending Kiel and defending German dignity, what is the difference between that and in 1918 when Germany was stabbed in the back by an internal enemy? What's the difference between that and being betrayed by your own family or compatriots? We can't fight your submachine guns with our fists, we can only suffer the pain in our hearts in silence, we can only heal our wounds in prison, listen to the news from Kiel, is this the result you want? ”…,

The crowd was silent.

"Is that the result?" Lynn repeated aloud.

Someone began to speak among the civilians in the audience, and they were not many or noisy, and they gathered into a buzz.

"Is that the result?" Lynn repeated.

This time, a voice finally sounded in the crowd, some hoarse, some unwilling:

"No, we do not harm our fellow citizens, and we will not allow anyone to infringe on the dignity of Germany!"

Lynn saw from a distance that it was a young, burly soldier talking, his rifle held high in both hands, standing out from the crowd.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...... In the blink of an eye, more soldiers raised their rifles in their hands, and the crowd around them applauded enthusiastically in their actions. The officers, some of whom were utterly amazed and rebuked their soldiers, and some of whom stood there in acquiescence to what had happened—perhaps had fallen spiritually to these brave people. Seeing the collapse of this group of German soldiers who were supposed to intervene in the continuation of the rally and march, Lynn's grasp of completely reversing the situation greatly increased, and he took advantage of the situation to shout "Long live Germany", the sonorous and powerful voice was amplified through the microphone like a storm, and the crowd's high voice followed, and the scene was boiling again!

Just as more and more German soldiers were preparing to throw themselves into the marchers, four crisp gunshots shattered the idea of some people to win a political victory by word of mouth. When the crowd suddenly fell silent for a moment, Lynn felt like someone was using a small hammer to the center of the mouth, not very strong but quite painful.

In an instant, the attention of tens of thousands of people turned to the rear, only to see a military truck with a tarpaulin on the periphery parked, and an officer of ordinary stature standing on the top of the cab, with his feet spread out, his right arm raised, and a faint wisp of white smoke drifting above the black muzzle. Apparently, this was the man who had just shot.

Separated by a dense crowd, there was a distance of seven or eight hundred meters between Lynn and the other party, and the other party's faces could not be seen clearly with the naked eye alone, but in the situation at the scene, the aura of the two was obviously facing each other.

"Military people don't ask about politics. Advance! Soldiers! Execute the command. ”

Without any fancy rhetoric, the boiled water words had a magical effect, it dispelled the magic that shrouded the soldiers, and most of the soldiers with guns in both hands obediently repositioned their weapons, and the officers took advantage of the situation to lead their squads to continue their advance towards the hotel, although the people still tried to block them with their bodies, and the progress between the teams was much different, but as the fastest team approached, the Baath Party members around the platform still became nervous - were these soldiers ordered to disperse or capture? Will you fight with force, protect the key personnel and evacuate, or will you be captured? There is not much time left, and the answers to these questions are all invisible pressure, and the leaders and commanders at all levels keep turning back to the main and deputy leaders on the stage. From the moment the soldier appeared, Stupfer had lost his focus, and at this point he had completely handed over the decision to Lynn, and the young deputy leader of the Baath Party stood motionless in front of the microphone stand, he had not spoken for two minutes, but it felt like complete silence.

The crowd is like sea water, the more those military squads move towards the platform, the greater the resistance, the surrounding people try to dissuade and disintegrate with words, some people even puff up their chests and try to block these soldiers with their bodies, the leading officer is quite tolerant, just forcibly use the physical advantage to pass, but the soldiers are still moving forward after all, seeing that they are about to meet the inner circle cordon formed by the members of the Ba'ath Party, the possibility of violent clashes is rapidly increasing, Lynn calmed down, and said in a thick tone: "Everyone! Don't panic, listen to me! We are here today with a common vision, and regardless of the outcome, we have already shown our fearlessness and love for Germany. If we are bullied by the enemy, even if we die, we must resist, but today we are facing our own compatriots, the German soldiers who have sacrificed their sweat and blood for us and our country, and our resistance is meaningless. Come on! If this is our fate, there is no way to avoid it, then face it with your head held high! ”…,

After Lynn's heroic and tragic words, most of the people in the audience were stunned, the unity of tens of thousands of people here is definitely a force to be reckoned with, and it is completely possible to carry out a brave struggle in the face of a few hundred soldiers, not to mention that it is not a problem to protect the initiators of the parade and rally. Before people could think more, Lynn pulled Stupfoff to his side and gave him a firm nod: "Come on, just today, let's become heroes of Germany together!" ”

By this time, Stupfer could only feign his composure.

Lynn affectionately took Stuppher's hand and continued to whisper: "Let's sing together, "Germany above all"! ”

Regardless of whether Stupford understood his intentions or not, Lynn returned to the microphone and began to sing the anthem of the Third Reich, which she had learned during the "Vampire" commando and often sang with her comrades.

"Germany, Germany, above all else, above all things in the world......"

As familiar melodies and lyrics are heard through loudspeakers placed everywhere, tens of thousands of people in the neighborhood spontaneously join in the chorus, appearing majestic and pathetic in the low melody and impassioned when entering the high melody. The chorus refocused people's once-scattered attention a little, and also allowed the military squad to advance smoothly to the stage. Listening to the sound of leather boots stepping on the wooden plank behind him, Lynn's nervous mood was completely released, and he proudly raised his arms like a victor, and even made Stupfer raise his arms and shout, this scene was deeply imprinted in the minds of tens of thousands of people at the scene, and also truthfully ingested the lens of cameras and camcorders.

"Two ......"

There was obvious helplessness and admiration in the voice of the officer who walked closer, and Lynn stopped singing and turned calmly: "Comrades, do what you should do!" Even if our lives are gone, the indomitable spirit will live on. ”

Hearing Lynn say this, the officer standing opposite him looked extremely conflicted, and this was a typical reflection of Germany in 1947 and the mentality and situation of the Germans.
