Chapter 236 236 Echoes of History (2nd Update)

There will probably never be a leader like Lin Youde in this world again.

His organization is intervening in a war, and countless soldiers are rushing to the battlefield, ready to spill their blood, while he himself wears a special hat that can hold biscuits on his head, and carries his little daughter on his shoulder, completely enjoying life.

When Lin Youde went to inspect the soldiers of the National Volunteer Division who were about to go to the front line, his new look frightened the news reporters who came to take pictures and grab the headlines.

This is also Lin Youde's second public appearance in front of the news media, reporters have said that the growth rate of the little guy is really amazing, obviously only half a year old baby, can eat cookies by himself so comfortably, facing the camera and knowing that he wants to pose. And the pair of wings on the back of the little guy has become the focus of attention of reporters, some think it is the wings of a gargoyle, some claim that it is the wings of an evil dragon, and even think that it is the wings of a demon.

Gargoyles and dragons are not good symbols in Western culture, let alone demons. The opposition to Lin Youde decisively seized on this point and made a big fuss, claiming that Lin Youde would bring disaster to Germany, and trying to attribute the cause of the outbreak of the civil war to Lin Youde.

Lin Youde's royal literati immediately began to fight back, saying that the wings of the second miss of the Lin family are just a simple physical feature, which does not mean that she will grow into a bad person, you look at the birdman who lives in the boots of the **** Mediterranean Sea in the south, obviously has angel wings, but it always gives people a feeling of madness.

Lin Youde didn't care about this, and sat and watched his domestic watchdogs and wild dogs bite.

The nonsensical war of public opinion attracted the attention of the public, so that they did not have time to think deeply about whether it was worth sending German boys to that distant battlefield, and after tea and dinner, the public debated whether Lin Youde's daughter was a gargoyle or a dragon, and whether her man would have to face a stone-hard X hymen or a scaly abalone in the future—either of which seemed to be enough to choke.

However, everyone agrees on one thing: as long as there is a chance, Lin Youde's daughter will definitely want to bubble, and the temptation of the Lin family's concubine is too great, even if his Justin Bieber is facing a huge risk, he must be hard-headed.

These gossip were relayed to Lin Youde by the fox in the form of jokes, and then Lin Youde decisively said, "If you want to marry my daughter, you have to step over my corpse first."

Viola patted her chest and congratulated herself that it was good that her daughter was more normal, and then the fox said that Viola should give birth to a boy in the next child, so that she could go to other people's daughters.

This is the daily situation of Lin Youde's "headquarters", and Sissi always complains at every opportunity that she thought that the situation would change when Viola returned from Berlin, but it turned out to be worse.

Miraculously, despite such an unscrupulous supreme leadership organ, the formation and transportation of the international column did not fall behind at all, and the National Volunteer Division, which had completed the change of uniforms, was heading to the Free City of Rie, the southernmost point of Germany, in a steady stream, and boarding the transport ships provided by the British Imperial Navy one by one.

At the same time, pan-humanists from all over the world who had responded to the call to Germany to join the international column were organized into new divisions to be trained and armed by the NERV.

For the first time, the war machine that Lin Youde had built himself over the years was running at full power, and people in the whole world were waiting to verify its ability with their own eyes.

In the city of Libre Lije, the British Navy-flagged cargo ship Apennines is loaded.

The captain and first mate had little work to do until the loading was complete, so the two ran to the side of the ship and watched as the workers struggled to stuff the cargo into the hold.

"Mr. Captain," said the first mate, "what do you think is that thing with ugly tracks?" ”

"Didn't the list of goods given to us say 'battlefield multi-purpose construction machinery'?" The captain took out the flask from his pocket, opened the lid and took a big sip, his expression was very intoxicated, "Although the wine sent by the Germans is good, it is still the best home-brewed rum." ”

The first mate glanced at the captain.

Senior English seamen were generally standard gentlemen, well-dressed and courteous, and drank coffee gracefully at night on duty, and wine was always drunk elegantly at dinner, and it was rare for a captain to drink anywhere he went—and they generally did not use such flasks that were not to be elegant.

It is said that Mr. Captain used to be such an elegant seaman, just like the first mate, until his ship encountered a German submarine in the last war.

The first mate put away his inner thoughts and continued to say to the captain: "Sir, the long pipe installed on that thing is a cannon......

"Of course, at least a three-inch caliber, oh the Germans use the metric system, it should be a seventy-five-millimeter gun, I think these are accurate, the Q ships I commanded back then were all this kind of guns."

"You've also commanded Q ships?" The first mate raised an eyebrow and looked at the captain with some surprise.

The so-called Q ship refers to a camouflage cargo ship specially modified by the British Navy in order to hunt submarines. In order to avoid provoking the United States and allowing the United States to enter the war, the Germans had to promise that the submarine would surface before attacking the merchant ship to confirm the nationality of the merchant ship, issue an alarm after the confirmation, and give time for the evacuation of the people on board. In this situation, the British came up with a method of "fishing for law enforcement", using camouflaged merchant ships to lure German submarines to surface to confirm the situation, and then showed the ship's cannons to sink the German submarine.

In the eyes of young men like the first mate, who became seamen after the war, being able to command the Q ship and fight against German submarines was a more legendary thing than becoming an admiral.

The captain glanced at the first mate, smiled at the corners of his mouth, and took another sip of wine before continuing: "Of course I commanded, at that time I was also a young man like you, there was a lot of blood in my chest, and I always wanted to avenge the dead subordinates, and it happened that the navy was going to form a Q fleet and was recruiting volunteers, so I went." It's really funny, now that I have to command my ship and transport the equipment and personnel of the German devils, the world is really changing so fast. ”

After saying that, the captain patted the first mate on the shoulder.

"Come on, since you're so interested in that kind of construction machinery, let's go down and have a look, I don't think the Germans should mind the British seafarers who don't know two farts to see their novelties up close."

Captain of the National Volunteer Field Engineer Brigade Michelle? Captain Wittmann was not very accustomed to commanding others, after all, he was only twenty years old, and many of his veterans were older than him.

Michelle originally applied to join the infantry unit, but on the day he reported for duty, he was led to the field engineer brigade by a taciturn major, and then somehow became a second lieutenant commander - he had never heard of this kind of field engineering aircraft called "water tank" before!

To be honest, Michel was a little disappointed, he was eager to go to the battlefield, he was eager to build up meritorious deeds, and staying in the engineering army obviously could not fulfill these desires - even if he was a combat engineer, his main task on the battlefield was to repair fortifications or carry out explosives, and it was rare for a combat engineer to make a meritorious achievement.

But Michelle's father always taught him that it is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, so Michelle stayed in this strange engineering unit, practicing driving the steel beasts assigned to them every day with strange men.

Soon Michel found out that this was not an engineering machine at all, it was an out-and-out weapon, and an offensive one. It has excellent protection and great mobility, three machine guns installed, and a terrible 75mm cannon!

After understanding this, Michel redoubled his training efforts, and the result was that he rocketed to the position of detachment leader, carrying a bar and three stars on his shoulders.

The explanation given to Michelle's rapid promotion by the higher command was that "this is a completely new branch of the army, so it is necessary to decisively appoint young people with outstanding performance, rather than ranking them on the basis of seniority like other old and antique arms." However, there is another theory circulating in the combat engineering unit that Michelle's promotion was the result of Mr. Lin Youde's direct interference, and some veterans who were dissatisfied with Michelle's promotion speed even thought that Michelle's sister had an affair with Lin Youde, who was wandering by nature.

It's just that the vast majority of people think that Lin Youde has no interest in women other than Shenji, so this statement has not been widely recognized.

At this moment, Michel stood on the deck of the cargo hold of the British freighter Apennine, watching his men carefully drive the battle tractor through the gangplank into the hold.

Suddenly, someone called out to Michel, and he followed the sound to see his gunner Balman pointing in the direction of the entrance to the hold, and he looked along Balman's arm and saw two men in senior seamen's uniforms walking towards him.

Michel caught up, and Bowerman ran up to him.

"Mr. Captain." Marshall carefully checked the bars on the bearded sleeves of the leader, and then saluted, "Thank you for allowing us to board the ship, I would have liked to wait until all the work was done before I went to the meeting." ”

"It doesn't matter, transporting you is a task from Her Majesty our Queen, you don't have to be so polite." Saying that, the bearded man actually returned the salute to Michelle, which was quite standard.

"Are you a member of the Royal Navy?" Michelle asked curiously.

The captain shook his head, "No, but I used to command the Q ship, and this is a habit left over from that time. ”

"Coincidentally," said Balman, "my father used to be the helmsman of a submarine, and he told me the story of the battle with the Q-ship. ”

"yes, that's a coincidence."

After saying that, the captain extended his hand to Bowerman, and Bowerman responded happily, and the two shook hands together.

History is in this corner and shows its presence in a wonderful way.
