Berlin, January 27, 1917.

On this day, Berlin was in a frenzied festive atmosphere.

Friedrich. William. Victor. Albert. Feng. Happy birthday to His Majesty the Emperor Hohenzollern!

In the palace, guests in costumes poured in, each with a smile on their faces. The good news on the front line and the birthday of His Majesty the Emperor are really a day worth remembering.

"Ernst. Alexon. Feng. Baron Bream has arrived! ”

When this voice sounded, all the guests' heads turned back:

Skeleton Baron - Ernst!

Then, the applause began to ring. This miraculous baron has brought too much splendor to Germany. Where he is, there is a guarantee of victory!

And by Wang Weiyi's side, the radiant girl is also a nobleman, and in addition, she now has another enviable identity, the intelligence analyst of the skeleton commando:

Heinrich. Elena. Feng. Livinsky!

Some people may have identified Elena as Baron Alexon's girlfriend, but this is indeed a combination of golden boys and girls who are too well matched.

Ernst in military uniform. Bram was so handsome and mighty, Heinrich in an aquamarine gown. Elena is so bright and radiant.

And behind them Fritz . Feng. Manstein and Manfred. Feng. Richthofen is also the glory of Germany!

Their appearance ushered in more applause

There are constantly people coming to talk to them, mostly with some compliments. Wang Weiyi coped with it. While looking there.

There, Countess Leonie was discussing something with Foreign Secretary Pilov, and the countess looked at it consciously or unconsciously. happened to meet Wang Weiyi's eyes.

The countess smiled slightly, as if nothing had happened between the two, even for Elena, who was beside Wang Weiyi, Wang Weiyi did not see the slightest jealousy in the countess's eyes

It seems that the Countess is making good on her promise that she will never interfere with Wang Weiyi's normal life

"Look, look, here our brave lads are." Field Marshal Hindenburg appeared in front of Wang Weiyi with a smile on his face: "Well done, Lieutenant Colonel Ernst." ”

"Thank you, Your Excellency, Marshal."

General Ludendorff 1st class also appeared. He and Field Marshal Hindenburg were two completely different people, and there was not a trace of a smile on his majestic face: "Ernst. Lieutenant Colonel Braeme, the General Staff is very pleased with your performance. The Russians have become much more honest now. But there's a problem you need to help me out."

"Please, Your Excellency Admiral."

"You have already been awarded the Blue Marx Medal twice, the Iron Cross twice, and the next time you will achieve even greater feats. What medal should we give you? You're going to have to help me out with this. Lieutenant Colonel Ernst. ”

The majestic First Admiral Ludendorff would actually joke? Combined with his serious appearance, this joke, which was not funny at all, became much more interesting, and immediately attracted laughter from the surroundings.

"Maybe there could be a Skeleton Medal to match the name of the Skeleton Baron" Field Marshal Hindenburg couldn't help but joke: "What do you think, Lieutenant Colonel Ernst." ”

Wang Weiyi smiled, not knowing how to answer this question

The surrounding guests gradually dispersed, leaving only this pure soldier. Ludendorff resumed his seriousness: "Ernst, when this banquet is over. You'll have to go back to the front at once, I'm afraid I'll have to transfer you to the Reims area this time."

Wang Weiyi immediately understood.

The spring offensive that the French had been preparing for a long time was soon to be launched. It seems that the German top brass is already preparing for this challenge.

Himself and his teammates had been to Lance before, and they were all too familiar with that place, and the presence of the Skeleton Commando there would be very useful.

"Your Excellency, are you preparing for the battle of Reims and Soisson?" Wang Weiyi asked tentatively.

Ludendorff nodded solemnly: "Yes, the French have already concentrated more than 350,000 troops in this area, and are still further concentrated, and we believe that at the end of March and the beginning of April, the enemy will attack in this area on a large scale." Given your mission in this area, we're ready to move you and your skeleton commandos to the front lines."

"Yes, Your Excellency the First Admiral." Wang Weiyi did not hesitate at all.

The Skeleton Commando was formed to carry out the most dangerous and difficult missions.

"This time it's not about any special mission, it's about fighting a tough positional war." Field Marshal Hindenburg also put away his smile: "A lot of people may die, so you have to be fully mentally prepared." ”

"Rest assured, Your Excellency." Wang Weiyi replied solemnly: "The first minute a soldier stands on the battlefield, they are ready to sacrifice. All for Germany! ”

"All for Germany!"

Field Marshal Hindenburg smiled again: "Aha, today is a good day, there is no need to discuss such a heavy topic. Ludendorff, you always like to spoil the atmosphere"

"Hey, Your Excellency Marshal, Your Excellency First Admiral, what are you discussing there?" At this time, His Royal Highness Crown Prince William August came over: "Ah, the Skeleton Baron is also Miss Heinrich, I heard that you are always with the Skeleton Baron on the battlefield, I often think about a question, what should I call you in the future?" Baroness? No, I don't think the name is worthy of your identity at all, and it's more appropriate to call you Lady Skeleton."

A burst of laughter rang out, and Elena's face was flushed with shame, but when she thought of the words "Lady Skeleton", she couldn't help but laugh out loud

"Ernst, there have been too many people looking for me lately." August said with a smile: "Many people have come to me to intercede and want to join the skeleton commando. God, when did your unit become the brightest in the German army? I told them that I couldn't help me, because I also wanted to talk to the Skull Baron and see if he could help me move a corporal there."

The laughter continued, and August's witty remarks washed away the serious atmosphere just now.

August talked with them about the battlefield with great interest, and kept asking Wang Weiyi about his miraculous performance in Russia, and it could be seen that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was indeed eager for life on the battlefield

While chatting, Wang Weiyi noticed that in the distance, Prince Joachim was looking at him coldly, and standing next to him was Nikolai, who had been demoted but had been reinstated to a colonel officer with the help of Prince Joachim

Their expressions looked quite complicated, even with a hint of hatred

Wang Weiyi didn't care. He had now established himself in Germany, and he was now the star of the German army, with Prince Joachim and Nikolai weighing twice if they wanted to actually deal with him.

Behind Wang Weiyi, standing is the elite of the skeleton commando, and standing is the top level of the German military

"Holy Emperor of the German Empire, King of Prussia, Friedrich. William. Victor. Albert. Feng. His Majesty Hohenzollern has arrived! ”

With this sound, the scene that was still noisy suddenly became quiet

Wilhelm II, wearing gloves on his left hand and leaning on an accessory, appeared in front of everyone.

Wilhelm II was born with his mother's buttocks protruding first, causing him to suffer from Elb's palsy, which caused his left arm to shrink. He deliberately tilts his body sideways when taking the photo, subtly highlighting his functioning right hand and concealing his defective left hand. Wilhelm II often wore gloves on his left hand to make his left hand look more slender, and he also liked to use his left hand to lean on a sword or a cane to make himself look more decent.

All the guests bent down slightly, and then a frenzied cheer rang out.

Wilhelm II waved his right hand to express his inner joy to his subjects.

When the cheers had ceased slightly, Kaiser Wilhelm II said: "Thank you, my esteemed friends, it is a great honour for you to come to this banquet, I am a fifty-eight-year-old man, I don't know how many more birthdays I will be able to have, but I hope that on my next birthday I will see the final victory of Germany."

Another wild cheer rang out.

Wilhelm II enjoyed the affection of his subjects, and then he quieted everyone down:

"I believe that in my lifetime I will be able to see that Germany will stand at the top of the world, that all enemies will submit to our feet, and that war will be exchanged for peace, and that we must meet the challenge of being fearless when our enemies compel us to do so, and that the German Empire is fearless, and so are the German people. There is only one Germany in Europe, and there is only one Germany in the world! ”

"A Germany! One Germany! An even more frantic cry rang out with the speech of His Majesty the Emperor.

Wang Weiyi watched all this calmly, and did not join the cheering crowd. However, the voice of the German emperor still reached his ears:

"Now, allow me to pay tribute to the soldiers on the front lines who are fighting and creating victory after victory for their country, and let us pay a moment of silence for those who died for the pride of Germany."

The cheering stopped, and each German bowed his head in silence.

Among them, Wang Weiyi is also included. At this moment, he remembered his comrades who died on the battlefield.

Rest in peace, my dearest brother. (To be continued.) )
