Chapter One Hundred and Three: I Testify!
Hall has been denied the right to be a witness, and he will also be investigated by the military.
Schraf, a second-rate writer and lawyer who is not shocking in appearance and usually looks sloppy, has finally begun his own counterattack.
Macklin, Nikolai, and even Prince Joachim's faces became ugly.
They never took Schluff seriously, and thought that Ernst had chosen such a small role as his lawyer, and he had simply raised his hand and surrendered in advance.
But they didn't expect that Schlaf would succeed in killing one of their witnesses in the first round.
But that's far from the end
"Lawyer Macklin questioned the venerable Baron Alexon's miracle of the Somme, but I can understand that." Schlaf is getting more and more into his role: "A person who has never been on the battlefield at all, of course, finds it difficult to understand such a battlefield miracle. However, Mr. Macklin seems to have overlooked the fact that Baron Alexon was not fighting alone. Next, I will call my second witness to testify. He is a Chinese named Guo Yunfeng. ”
Felix granted his request.
Schlaf came completely prepared, he not only let Guo Yunfeng stand on the witness stand, but also in order to equip a special translator, every word of Guo Yunfeng reached everyone's ears through the translation:
"Captain Ernst and I fought all the time, and Captain Ernst killed a lot of people, and the tanks of the captured British killed a lot of people"
He tried to get to the bottom of every detail. His expression was agitated, and he carefully described the circumstances of the battle, from how to attack the camp of Prince Sobok, to how to destroy the Welsh regiment, to how to be surrounded by the enemy, and they hunted and pursued their enemies one by one, and nothing was missed. When he had said all that had happened, he raised his voice:
"Captain Ernst is the bravest man I have ever met, and I don't know what to say about the word that he never betrayed himself."
"Faith!" Schraf helped him out: "Do any of you doubt the authenticity of the miracle of the Somme now?" ”
Macklin said loudly: "Don't forget, he is a Chinese!" Is his testimony credible? ”
"Lawyer Macklin, I'm very skeptical of your attitude!" Schlaf said unhurriedly: "Yes, he is a Chinese, but his quality and bravery are a real German soldier." And have you forgotten? This Chinese is a German sergeant personally appointed by His Majesty the Emperor, a recipient of the Iron Cross of the Second Degree! ”
Macklin was speechless, indeed, he really forgot about it.
Schlaf suddenly said: "I still have many witnesses who can attest to Baron Alexon's bravery in the miracle of the Somme, such as General von Galwitz, commander-in-chief of the Second Army!" ”
Crazy, this little lawyer is really crazy, he actually wants to let General Garvetz act as a witness?
But what was even more unexpected was that General Garvetz actually said: "I am willing to stand on the witness stand and testify for my men." ”
"General Galwitz, you can completely refuse." Felix reminded.
"I agree." General Galvetz smiled and said, "If a general's subordinates are unfairly testified, but I care about my identity and don't want to testify, then what's the difference between me and Ensign Hall?" ”
There was applause from the auditorium
General Galvetz sat down on the witness stand, and then said slowly: "It was a day that I will never forget, the British attack was very fierce, and we were forced to retreat At this time, I heard a voice on the phone, and he asked me loudly, 'Hell, where are you?' I told him that I was General Galwitz, and the very rude voice said loudly, 'Plus?' What to add? Hell, report your rank' This reckless guy was terrified when I told him I was Lieutenant General Carlos Eltrype von Galwitz of the Second Army"
A burst of laughter rang out in the auditorium, and the tension was diluted a lot.
"As everyone guessed, this reckless guy was Ernst Bram." General Galwitz was also smiling, but gradually his expression became serious:
"It was the first time I heard Ernst's voice, but it was the most memorable day of my life. While all the Germans were retreating, Ernst Brem told me, 'We're on the offensive!' Attack the British's Prince Sobock camp'! ”
There was silence.
Although they were not present in person, everyone could feel the scene:
The German army in the entire Somme region was retreating, but there was a brave man who was attacking without hesitation, and when the voice of "we are attacking" sounded, how enthusiastic it was!
Ernst Brem – the creator of great miracles!
"Ernst Braham told me that there were only two of them, and that he and a Chinese laborer who had come from the British, was Guo, who had just testified. He told him that he had also captured a British tank, and that the British tank crews had surrendered to him and swore allegiance. Galvetz calmly told everyone: "We are attacking!" Can you imagine how excited I felt when I heard that? After this I lost contact with Captain Ernst. But what Captain Ernst and his Chinese friends did afterwards, one person witnessed with his own eyes. Baron Manfred von Richthofen! ”
Richthofen stood up for the first time, his eyes looked at Ernst, at General Galwitz, at all the people:
"I took off, I flew over the Welsh regiment, I flew low, only to see that the battle was over. There were only corpses and blood! None of this mattered, but the most important thing was that I saw an exciting scene that I will never forget: an immensely large German flag flying over the enemy barracks! ”
More than a dozen Germans finally couldn't hold back their excitement and stood up with a "ho". Even the Marquis of Yorkso was completely captivated by the story and forgot to stop them.
"Yes, I swear, I saw that huge German flag!" Richthofen shook his fist vigorously: "Flying over the enemy's barracks, standing by the flag, is Ernst Brem!" ”
Ernst Bream!
At this moment, the mood of every German was thoroughly dispatched.
