One hundred and six. I would like to testify
"It was I who implicitly advised Captain Ernst to let the prisoners go." Sergeant Sproh said seriously: "If there is really a guilt, then it should be confessed by me, not Captain Ernst Brem." ”
Pastor Exxon then said, "Captain Ernst is the most upright and compassionate man I have ever known. Yes, he did let go of a group of prisoners, but I can swear by God's name that he would never have deliberately colluded with the British, but only did it with the compassion of an upright man. If Captain Ernst is found guilty, then I will pray for him, and I will even be willing to take responsibility for him if necessary. Captain Ernst is not a sinner, he is a saint! ”
Everyone fell silent, and how surprising was that a priest could make such an assessment of an officer?
"Sergeant Sprow, Pastor Exxon, can you give a guarantee of your testimony?"
"Yes, we can."
"Thank you for your testimony, please go down and rest."
When Sergeant Sproh and Pastor Exxon left the witness stand and returned to their positions, they took a deep look at Wang Weiyi, and then Pastor Exxon drew a cross on his chest: "God is with you!" ”
Wang Weiyi nodded.
Pastor Exxon wasn't technically his subordinate, but now he stepped forward and gave his most crucial testimony.
The situation changed again, and once again it became seriously unfavorable for Nikolai's side.
Macklin, after his request to speak was granted, asked menacingly: "Well, Baron Alexon, maybe you did let go of a group of wounded, but what does that mean?" Also, you disappeared from your positions for a long time and went to the enemy's barracks, and what did you do there? ”
Wang Weiyi smiled sarcastically: "Lawyer Macklin, I once said to Colonel Nikolai that it is pointless to discuss what happened on the battlefield with a person who has not been on the battlefield, but since you raised this question in France, I am still willing to answer the question, at that time, the heroic German soldiers were attacking on all fronts, and a group of seriously wounded could be attacked anytime and anywhere, so I went so that they could return to their barracks safely."
"It's just your side of the story." Marklin, forgetting that Baron Alexon could continue to speak as long as he wished, interrupted him uncontrollably: "What about the witnesses? Can anyone prove that you didn't have anything with the British that we don't know about? ”
Wang Weiyi said coldly: "At that time, I was accompanied by my adjutant, Second Lieutenant Guderian. ”
"Adjutant?" Macklin sneered: "Your adjutant proves it for you?" It's like two people committing murder, can they prove each other? ”
"Lawyer Macklin, you can insult me, but I won't allow you to insult my subordinates." Wang Weiyi's eyes narrowed: "Insult an upright German officer, and you will become the enemy of the entire German army!" Second Lieutenant Guderian is a brave and highly decorated officer! ”
A chill came out of Macklin's heart.
Standing across from him was not an ordinary person, but the "creator of the miracle of the Somme"! He was convinced that Ernst had a reputation in the army that no one else could match! And what scared him even more was that when attacking Ernst himself, Ernst behaved so calmly, but when it came to his subordinates, his performance was so terrible.
Felix coughed, "Baron Alexon, as much as I would like to believe what you say, proof is needed in Fa**. Second Lieutenant Guderian can testify for you, but where is he now? ”
"He commanded the troops at the front in my place."
"Then the trial will have to be delayed, Baron Alexon, you have this right." Felix said with a little regret: "I can give you plenty of time for Guderian to testify for you, but until he arrives, you can only stay in Berlin, are you willing?" ”
Wang Weiyi was a little embarrassed.
He wasn't worried about whether Guderian would testify for himself, Guderian's character was beyond doubt, he was worried that he would stay in Berlin for too long, and God knew if Nikolai would make some small moves.
What now?
Nikolai breathed a sigh of relief.
Judging from the current situation, Ernst is pressing forward step by step, almost overwhelming himself, and in this way, there is only one way to face himself.
And now it's an opportunity.
As long as Ernst could stay in Berlin and keep a close watch on him, he would be able to make the best arrangements before Guderian arrived.
If necessary, he could even use the power of Prince Joachim to force Guderian somewhere
The courtroom was so quiet that you could hear the sound of a needle falling on the ground
"Baron Alexon, have you made your choice?" Felix reminded Wang Weiyi: "You have five minutes to think about it. ”
When the Marquis of York's words landed, the door of the courtroom was suddenly pushed open, and then a voice sounded:
"I am willing to testify for Baron Ernst Aleksen von Braim!"
The sudden sound attracted everyone's attention at once.
Wang Weiyi also turned his head slowly, when he saw this person, he couldn't believe that he could actually see him here
The man who came in had only one arm, and it was clear that he had lost it not long ago, and the wound had not even healed, and he could smell blood and potions from him.
His face was pale, or the long journey had overwhelmed his already weak body, but he straightened up and repeated his words: "My lordship, my companions and I are willing to testify on behalf of Baron Alexon. Please allow them to enter the courtroom. ”
"You and your companions?" Felix frowned: "Where are they?" I allowed them to enter the courtroom as witnesses. ”
"Thank you for your kindness." The one-armed man bowed slightly, and then eight men walked in together.
Without exception, they all looked like they had been wounded, and by this time many of the Germans in the room were beginning to understand their identity.
"Please state your name, witness." Felix is dignified.
The one-armed man calmed down his emotions for a moment, and then word by word, clearly reached everyone's ears:
"Commander of the 42nd Battalion of the 43rd East Reims Division of the United Kingdom, Lieutenant Colonel - Rosen!"
