Eight hundred and sixty-nine. Christmas Eve
"Mr. Baron, Mr. Baron!"
There was such a cry behind him, Wang Weiyi and his companions glanced at each other, and smiled bitterly, after all, someone still recognized His Excellency the Baron.
When I turned around, I saw that it was actually the same Hamm who had helped a lot in Schrotenburg. However, by this time, Ham had already put on a military uniform, and by his side, there were two soldiers about his age.
On that occasion, having completed their mission in Schrotenburg, all the local Germans left there and headed for Berlin. It's impossible to know how much hardship they encountered along the way, but at least more than half of them made it to Berlin, including Ham.
"Hey, Ham, soldier?"
Hearing that the Baron actually recognized him at a glance, Ham looked a little excited: "Yes, Mr. Baron, I am a soldier." Ah, Mr. Baron, I didn't think you were a baron. They were my companions, Jason and Omi, both of whom came out of Schrothenburg and joined the SS Youth Division together. ”
"Congratulations, loyal soldiers of the Empire!" Wang Weiyi gave them a military salute in a dignified manner.
Probably didn't expect the baron to salute them, the three young men were a little at a loss, and hurriedly replied: "Thank you, Mr. Baron." ”
"No, it's my duty to thank you." Wang Weiyi smiled and said, "At your age, you should be on the campus of the university, not a soldier. However, we are now very short of manpower, so we have no choice but to set up a youth division again. But I can assure you, when the war is over. I'm going to get you back to school. ”
Hearing the baron speak to himself like this, the three young men became even more excited.
At the beginning, when leaving Schrothenburg. They had endured a great deal of hardship, and had almost been caught by the enemy several times, and when they finally entered Berlin, they soon learned that the "Lieutenant Colonel Moyol" was actually Baron Alexon. Ham remorsefully blames himself every day. Later, when he learned that the SS and Wehrmacht were recruiting, he and his companions joined the army without a minute of hesitation, and their only purpose was to see Baron Alexon again.
Their wish was soon fulfilled. I had met the Baron on the streets of Berlin so early, and what I didn't expect was that the Baron was as approachable as he had been in Schrotenburg.
"All right, boys. I think it's time for you to officially enter the army after Christmas. Wang Weiyi encouraged: "I hope to see you again next Christmas." ”
"Yes, Monsieur Baron, we promise you'll be able to see us again next Christmas!" The three lads said happily.
"See you again. Young soldiers. ”
"See you again. Mr. Baron. ”
Looking at the backs of the three young men, Wang Weiyi couldn't help but smile again. What a vigorous soldier, what a young soldier, when they go to war, they will soon become a real and brave German soldier.
It is precisely because of these dedicated Germans that Wang Weiyi has the courage to carry on the war......
"Baron, in front of you is Louis, the heir to the House of Hohenzollern. Ferdinand. Victor. Edward. Albert. Michael. Hubertus's dwelling. At this time, Steward Videlio pointed to a room in front of him.
It was a building that miraculously did not get destroyed during numerous bombings by the Allied Air Force. A house in a medieval style. Wang Weiyi frowned: "Didn't you let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince live in the Empire State Building?" It's just too dangerous here. ”
"Ah, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince insists on staying here." Videlio's butler was a little helpless: "He said that he was no longer the German crown prince. He can't continue to live in the Empire State Building, and he's willing to cause you too much trouble. ”
"The crown prince's family is always respectable." Wang Weiyi tidied up his clothes: "Are you willing to go with me to visit the crown prince's family?" ”
Michael and his wife, Cosfili, were a little surprised when they saw Baron Alexon and his companions visiting their homes.
Wang Weiyi and his companions were ushered in.
To be honest, the house was a little shabby, the furniture was very old, and what was even more rare was that Michael and his wife were useless as a butler and servant.
After they arrived in Berlin and were identified, Wang Weiyi took special care of the crown prince's family, and all living expenses were borne by the government. Of course, despite being far away from the center of power for a long time, the Hohenzollerns still have a lot of money, and they don't have to worry about maintaining a luxurious life.
Probably seeing Baron Alexon's doubts, Michael said with a smile: "Your Excellency, don't worry about us, we are living in Berlin now, and we are already very satisfied. To be honest, I didn't care about hiring more people who could serve us, and I could afford it, but after careful consideration, my wife and I chose to give up. Berlin is suffering, and as a former royal descendant, it should not allow a life of luxury to cause discontent among the people. ”
This is a true German, Wang Weiyi and his companions thought.
Indeed, as soon as he entered Berlin, Michael fulfilled his obligations as a German by donating $2 million. If the donation is not enough to move Wang Weiyi, then what the royal couple has done at this time is worthy of admiration.
"Coffee." At this time, Cosfili brought them coffee: "We brought it from the Netherlands, and now it is not easy to find some pure coffee in Berlin. ”
"Thank you, ma'am." Wang Weiyi took the coffee: "Your Highness, we have to admit that although we have only won a counterattack, Berlin is not safe, are you going to stay here all the time?" ”
"Yes, we know that Berlin is not safe." Michael nodded: "But you must also know that we are pure Germans. Our dream is to be able to return to Germany. You know my grandfather and my father, and you are very good friends. But they lived in the years. They wanted to return to Berlin all the time, but they didn't get what they wanted, and I fulfilled it for them. ”
Speaking of this, Michael paused slightly: "Now that my wife and I have returned to Berlin, and Berlin is suffering, I think I have to do something for the city." Lord Baron. My wife knows how to heal, and she is able to take care of the wounded. I, on the other hand, studied civil engineering and architecture. I think I can also make some contributions......
Wang Weiyi nodded silently: "Please allow me to express my personal respect for you." It is only at this time that the resilience of a person and a nation can be tested...... However, I think I have more important things for you to do. ”
"Of course, whatever you want." Michael replied quickly.
"Tomorrow, I'm going to give a Christmas speech. To all the German people who are in the resistance. Wang Weiyi quickly stated his purpose: "Before that. I would like to ask you to start with a drum up for the German people. ”
"Me?" Michael looked a little surprised, after all, he was just a former crown prince who had lost power: "Your Excellency, do you really think I am suitable?" ”
"Of course." Wang Weiyi replied without hesitation: "There is no one more suitable than you...... Although His Majesty the Emperor abdicated under the threat of the enemy, the imperial family still held a high prestige in the hearts of the German people. At this time, a former member of the royal family was able to give encouragement to the German people, such an influence. In Germany, and in Europe as a whole, it will be huge...... More importantly. You are now the head of the House of Hohenzollern, and your status is incomparably high. Every word you say, every word is able to cause a sensation, and I hope you will accept my request......"
Michael thought about it for a moment: "Since you have given me such trust, then I am willing to take on such a heavy responsibility. ”
Wang Weiyi did not immediately express his gratitude: "But I hope you can understand something, if you make such a speech, you may be retaliated against by the Americans." ”
"I'm not afraid." Michael was not worried about any of this at all: "What can they do to me?" Abolish my position as heir to the House of Hohenzollern? They don't have that power. Will you take me to the concentration camps? Aha, I think I could just change the way I live. ”
"You are brave, Your Highness." Then Leonie spoke: "Be as brave as your grandfather and father. Thank you for everything you do for Germany. ”
"No, I should thank you." Michael looked at them deeply: "Maybe there are things you don't know. After my grandfather was deposed as emperor and went into exile in the Netherlands, he never had any resentment against Germany, he always loved the country and was willing to give everything for it. He has told us many times that no matter where he is, he is always proud to be German...... And so did my father...... In the Second World War, when you and Führer Adolf led the brave German army to the most glorious victory, my father said, this is the person Germany really needs, and there is no need for us to go back to Berlin, because Germany has found the person they really need...... And now, when Germany is in trouble, it is your return that leads Germany from adversity...... So, allow me to express my sincerest gratitude to you, Baron Alexon! ”
We have never held a grudge against Germany...... When this sentence came out of Michael's mouth, everyone's mood was different.
They should have resented the country, and while Wilhelm II was fighting on the front line with German troops, his subjects betrayed him and forced him into exile in the Netherlands. However, he did not have the slightest resentment towards his country. Even at the outbreak of the Second World War, he took the initiative to donate money to support Germany's victory in the war.
Now, in the most difficult time for Germany, their children have returned to the country without hesitation......
......
"Monarchy is sometimes not a system that is contrary to the progress of human civilization."
Back at the Empire State Building, while preparing Christmas Eve dinner. Leonie said: "For example, Britain and some countries have always practiced monarchy, and the king is just a symbol, but it still has a certain meaning. ”
"What do you want to tell me? Leonie? Wang Weiyi smiled faintly: "Restore the monarchy in Germany?" Welcoming the descendants of Wilhelm II to complete a restoration? ”
"I don't know what you think." Leonie smiled: "Everything is in your hands. I think that with your great prestige, even if you yourself are quite emperor, there are few objections. ”
"Aha, I've never dreamed of this." Wang Weiyi said with a smile: "Even if this position of temporary head of state, I have done it very reluctantly. I think the priority now is to find a real Führer as soon as possible. It would be nice if Adolf was still around. ”
It's a pity that no one can know whether Adolf is still alive in this world......
Wang Weiyi invited many people to his dinner. Those marshals and generals of the Valhalla Legion, Queen Elizabeth II and her husband Prince Philip. Sir Lawson, and even the little spirit, Su Ling.
Xiao Linghe is a hybrid of Sophie, and the two of them are now finally on the same page. I don't fight every day, fighting for the ownership of my body. However, on the issue of whether to attend the banquet, the two women still had a serious disagreement.
Sophie was determined to participate, otherwise staying in the base would suffocate the former blonde beauty. But Xiao Ling didn't have any interest in leaving the base to attend any banquet. The two men probably argued about this issue for several hours. In the end, under the repeated persuasion of Wang Weiyi, Leonie and Elena. Xiao Lingcai reluctantly agreed, and for the first time in his life, he left the base to attend a banquet......
"What a lucky baron." At the banquet, Elizabeth II, who has always had a good sense of humor, said: "He was always accompanied by so many beautiful women, and lo and behold, Leonie, Elena, Sophie, Tirlia. Sevia. Ah, I guess my husband should regret marrying me so early, right? ”
"Yes. Yes. Prince Philip, who was also humorous, said solemnly: "I am still young, maybe it is the right choice for me to drink His Excellency the Baron to take an adventure, and maybe I will have as many sexual encounters as His Excellency the Baron." ”
The Queen's words caused a burst of laughter.
Rommel was the first to raise his glass: "Let's celebrate our brilliant victory again under the command of Ernst." All for Germany, all for Ernst! ”
"All for Germany, all for Ernst!" With the exception of Queen Elizabeth and his wife, everyone raised their glasses.
Wang Weiyi knew the thoughts of the queen and his wife too well, he raised his glass and said: "All for Germany, all for the revival of England!" ”
At this time, the queen and his wife said with a smile on their faces: "Yes, I wish the Anglo-German friendship a long time. ”
After the toast, Guderian quickly said: "The new troops are already being armed, a large number of soldiers have entered the Constantine base to learn the use of those new weapons, in order to ensure that Britain and Germany can fight together, we have also recruited a part of the British officers, I believe that soon those new weapons will be officially put on the battlefield." This will once again give the enemy a great psychological shock ......"
The British guests glanced at each other. Like the Allies, they were equally shocked by the secret power displayed by Germany. And they are also grateful that the Germans did not hide their secrets in front of the British, which will make the cooperation between the two armies in combat effectiveness in the future more tacit.
What made them wonder was that Baron Alexon had foreseen such a situation twenty years ago.
This doubt actually exists in the minds of many people......
"We must pay close attention to the study and use of new weapons and put them on the battlefield as soon as possible." Wang Weiyi pondered for a while and said: "I am going to go to the Middle East and North Africa after Christmas to join up with Manstein and Riddle, and command them to carry out a large-scale counterattack against the enemy......
The British guests were taken aback, and Rosen hurriedly asked, "Your Excellency, are you leaving Berlin?" ”
"Yes."
"It's a very long road, and no one knows what will happen to you on the road." Rosen said worriedly, "Aren't you afraid of encountering the Allies?" ”
Wang Weiyi smiled, his British friends would never know that he would be able to reach any corner of the world anytime and anywhere: "Rosen, my dear friend, please don't worry about me, the enemy will not be able to catch me, I can guarantee this." Of course, I also take extra care on the road to make sure I don't have any problems. This time I went to North Africa and the Middle East, not purely for adventure, but because we still have millions of troops there, and it would be a shame that such a huge force could not be fully utilized...... I will be back soon, and the situation in Germany is bound to change dramatically again with this time. ”
Rosen wanted to say something, but found that these Germans were not worried at all, maybe they were too worried, right? It's just that he can't figure it out anyway, where did the baron get so bold? How could he get through the enemy blockade without even noticing?
There are secrets they will never know! (To be continued......)
