Hans. Andri, the former head of the Fourth Division of the State Secret Police (Gestapo), worked in the notorious blonde demon Reinhard. Heinrich worked under him and is now the executive officer of the Intelligence Division of the Reich's Strategic Staff. Before entering the Strategic Staff, Lynn did not know that this figure had also come to the "Vault". The last and only time they had met was the day he led his troops from Oranienburg to Berlin's perimeter defenses. At that time, the sentries were turned away from the city because there were no written military orders. Andriy happened to be passing by in a car, and after a very brief conversation with Lynn, the young commander in a position of high office asked the sentry to let the group of Imperial warriors who had almost crawled out of the pile of dead men. If it weren't for that, Lynn wouldn't have experienced the epic final battle in Berlin, and might never have come into contact with the secrets of the Aryan Ark.

Regardless of whether it was intentional or unintentional at the time, Lynn still owed Andriy a "thank you" after all, but the disparity in identity made him not take the initiative to pay homage after entering the Imperial Strategic Staff, let alone deliberately create opportunities to show his face by chance, but stayed at ease in the plan with completely different responsibilities. This time, when the intelligence officer's orderly appeared and gave his name, Lynn was not surprised, but curious about the reason why he had summoned him—it must not be that he was asking for a debt!

Following the orderly officer to the office on the upper floor, Hans was wearing the rank of colonel of the Army. Andri, who was sitting comfortably in the large leather back chair, invited Lynn to sit down opposite him, and waited until the orderly brought two cups of coffee and exited the room before he spoke:

"Long time no see, Second Lieutenant Gargo!"

"It's been a long time, Your Excellency, Sir!" Lynn responded politely. In his eyes, Andri's appearance and temperament are very similar to Bach, only slightly older, but he definitely does not look more than 35 years old. Because he was no longer wearing a black leather coat but a soldier's uniform, he felt that something was missing to Lynn, and after thinking about it carefully, what was missing should be the mystery and coldness set off by the black leather coat.

Andriy motioned for Lynn to enjoy his coffee, then said in an easy-going tone, "How was your life here?" Accustomed to it? ”

Although Lynn prefers a straightforward way of talking, after all, everyone's style is different, and he is a small soldier, who is qualified to ask for this and that, so he politely replied: "Very good, much better than the one on the front line!" ”

"After reading the content published in the Deutsche Zeitung, I have great admiration for you and your soldiers!"

Although Andri's words are a bit cliché, his identity and the current situation still make Lynn extra vigilant - this guy must not want to let himself and his soldiers die for him!

Lynn didn't answer, but Andriy continued to boast: "I have admired heroes since I was a child, especially the lone hero who dares to fight hard in the enemy formation, Second Lieutenant Gargo, you have shown amazing calmness and intelligence in these battles, and you can be called the best combat commander in the Empire. General Bach's subordinates are really better than the other, which is really enviable! ”

The "vampire" commando team with night battles as a special field is indeed a rare special operations force, but Andriy is an "outsider" after all, and Lynn just replied decently: "I personally feel very honored to receive your praise!" ”

Andriy smiled slightly: "I heard from my colleagues that you are very adaptable to your work, and after you came out of the officer class, you have done a good job in information gathering, intelligence analysis, typing and drawing, and material binding, and you are an all-round talent." ”

As long as you have a little brain, you will never take these words as praise, Lynn knows very well that the other party is deliberately mocking herself for doing some trivial chores, and the subtext is obvious: You are doing rough work there, come to me, the uncle will definitely be reused.

After pondering in his heart for a while, Lynn still used Tai Chi tricks: "These basic tasks are very important for a staff department, and with experienced colleagues, you can learn a lot of knowledge and ways of thinking that you didn't have before." ”

Andri's expression was still so friendly, he opened the wooden box in front of the table, took out a cigar from it and handed it to Lynn: "Try it?" ”

Having never smoked a cigar and not knowing what was so famous in it, but it was difficult to refuse in person, Lynn accepted it as if it was a personal gift. Instead of taking a new cigar from the box, Andri himself picked up the lighter that was placed next to the ashtray, which had a small half-sized cigar on the edge of the ashtray.

"Sir, you're looking for me today......"

To Lynn's question, Andri did not answer, but took a lighter and brought it to Lynn with one hand: "Try it!" ”

Lynn used to occasionally watch people smoke cigars on TV, and they had to cut off the cigarette butts or something before they started smoking, but Andriy didn't take out a tool like small scissors for himself, the fire was already in front of him, so he tried to light it like a normal cigarette, but no matter how much he smoked, the smoke didn't reach his mouth at all.

"In fact, smoking a cigar is the same as being a human being, you must be enlightened."

Andriy said this with a smile on his face, but his eyes were serious, he opened the wooden box again, took out a small and delicate cigar cutter from it, took the cigar back from Lynn's hand, cut the mouthpiece with great skill, and returned it to Lynn and patiently lit the lighter. This time, the cigar smoked smoothly.

While Lynn was still pondering the meaning of this sentence, Andriy picked up the half of the cigar on the ashtray, lit it, and leisurely inhaled and exhaled the smoke, saying with an expression of enjoyment, "How is it?" ”

Despite choking on the strong smell and almost coughing, Lynn nodded, "Great!" ”

"In my opinion, you are such a good cigar." Andriy laughed.

The Intelligence Service is now a subordinate agency of the Strategic Staff, is this a corner of his boss? Lynn thought to herself.

Andri slowly put away his smile and said calmly while smoking: "I was shocked to hear General Bach talk about something at breakfast today, which may seem like nonsense to others. Ensign Gargo, you know what I'm referring to, right? ”

Lynn felt that he was an enlightened person, but he hesitated to show it in front of this unknown chief. Seeing that Andriy was looking at himself and waiting for an answer, he had no choice but to reply: "About the superweapon that the Americans are about to master." ”

"That's right!" Andriy leaned back in his chair and fixed his gaze on Lynn's eyes, as if to look through his skin and bones to see what was hidden in the head of the junior lieutenant staff officer in front of him. Anyone would probably not feel comfortable in the face of such a gaze, and Lynn is no exception.

Immediately afterward, Andriy changed his mind and asked, "Have you seen our new aircraft before?" It's round, like a straw hat. ”

Lynn replied truthfully: "Yes, I met once at the training base, and then I saw it a few more times on the battlefield!" ”

"It may become the greatest weapon the Empire has ever seen, but it may also be just the greatest hoax the Empire has ever seen." At this point, Andriy took a slow drag on his cigarette before continuing. "Do you know why?"

Lynn shook her head, and could only shake her head.

Whetting the other party's appetite, Andriy didn't continue to play tricks, he said in one breath: "Because it's still a long, long way from a truly mature, stable, and mass-produced weapon, and it can't even carry people, and machine guns, machine guns, or rockets can't be used normally, it's just a scary thing now, making the enemy think that we have successfully developed a super weapon, but in fact it's just a flying machine that must rely on radio control!" ”

Lynn was dumbfounded by this, but in the blink of an eye, the mystery about the saucer-shaped aircraft was dispelled.

Because of the fast smoking, Andriy has already flicked the ashes on the ashtray for the second time, and his words are not without exclamation: "Because of this, they all think that the superweapon of the Americans is just such a front to scare himself, the Soviets, and countries such as Britain and France, which have a strong sense of subjectivity." They prefer to believe that this is the truth. ”

Receiving this astonishing information for a short time caused Lynn's mood to fluctuate strongly, but with a keen intuition, he realized that this conversation would be of extraordinary significance, and the man sitting in front of him, similar in appearance and temperament to Bach, but thinking very differently, and more importantly, he may have a far stronger ambition than Bach, or rather, an ambition to win.

So, Lynn forced herself to calm down and quickly found the key point in this conversation: "So...... Do you know more about American superweapons? ”

Andriy was not surprised by Lynn's question, but glanced at him with an approving look, and replied in a slow and puzzled tone: "Before the implementation of the 'Aryan Ark Project', I was in charge of general intelligence, Jewish affairs, religious affairs, and security affairs in the territory and occupied territories in the SS, which involved a wide range of things. Although the Seventh Division was responsible for specialized foreign intelligence, I was able to obtain a very confidential and important piece of information through my channels -- the American political axe had concentrated its most sophisticated scientists on its superweapon program and invested a lot of manpower and material resources, while in Germany, the superweapon project led by physicists actually started very early and never made a real breakthrough. ”

Well, I finally met someone who understood, Lynn pressed the true thoughts in his heart, and pretended that he was casually speculating: "I heard that physicists have completed theoretical deductions early on and verified the most basic content in the laboratory, I think...... Our failure to succeed is not a theoretical problem, but rather a detour in some way, or the materials used are not up to standard. ”

As Lynn expected, Andriy did not ask about the source of these ideas as Bach did, but silently took a few puffs of cigarette and said: "There is no point in discussing these now, my idea is to send a special intelligence team to the United States to find out the actual situation of that superweapon project, which can be based on us in the United States, which is similar to catching fish in a lake with empty hands." Second Lieutenant Gargo, I want to hear what you really know and think, and only then can we have a greater chance of success. ”
