Sixty-two. The Countess's Banquet
The two tandem two-wheelers pedaled wildly, and as soon as they reached the gate of the Countess LΓ©onie's estate, the four people in the car immediately jumped off.
Or more accurately, falling.
Wang Weiyi touched his knees and got up from the ground, and smiled involuntarily. Can you imagine Manstein and Richthofen falling to the ground in such a mess?
Can you imagine that the dignified Reich Marshal Adolf Hitler is now only his younger brother and follower? Is he now being ordered to find a way to dispose of that carriage, and then he obediently executes it?
"Hurry up, hurry up." Manstein said, rubbing his thrown knee.
By this time, the pre-dinner music in the manor was already playing
"Depsie, the feast is about to begin." Countess Leony, who had just finished receiving Foreign Minister Pilov, looked around: "Where are our boys?" β
"In that Chinese's room, ma'am."
"Go and call them out, Your Excellency the Minister is also interested in them."
"Yes, ma'am, I'll call it."
Depsie turned and left. When he came to the house where the Chinese lived, he raised his hand and gently knocked on the door, and then pushed the door in
"Hello, Mr. Depsie." Manstein, who was chatting there, spoke politely.
Depsie's eyes swept across the room, where Ernst, Manstein, and Richthofen were chatting about something, and the Chinese were lying on the bed with their eyes closed, and everything seemed so normal.
"Gentlemen, the banquet is about to begin, and Madame invites you to come out."
"It's good." Wang Weiyi and the three of them stood up together.
Depsie had already reached the door, but suddenly turned his head and said, "Gentlemen, if you don't mind, I'll have you send you some clothes that fit." It is not proper to wear the clothes you are wearing to the feast. β
After speaking, he didn't care about a few people and walked out of the house on his own
Wang Weiyi and the three of them lowered their heads and looked at each other with a wry smile.
They came back in such a hurry that they had entered the house almost a minute before Depsie arrived, and they didn't have time to change or even notice their clothes.
It was covered in dirt and blood. No matter how careful you are when you kill, blood will definitely be splashed on your body.
Who would believe they're sitting here and chatting all the time?
No matter how careful the plan is, there will always be flaws
After a while, Depsie brought the servant three sets of clothes and three cups of coffee, told the servant to put his things down, and then let them leave first.
Taking advantage of Wang Weiyi's change of clothes, Depsie drank some of the three cups of coffee each, and then carefully placed them on the table, no one guessed why he was doing this.
"Gentlemen, have you changed your clothes? Then please come with me. Depsie still said with a blank face.
The Countess's feast has begun.
All the people who came were German celebrities, and even Foreign Minister Pilov, who had just returned from Austria, actually came, and the Countess's influence in Germany was obvious.
Manstein and Richthofen had known Pilov for a long time, but Wang Weiyi had met the German Foreign Minister for the first time.
After a few brief pleasantries with Manstein and Richthofen, he turned his attention to Wang Weiyi, who was recently known to everyone in Berlin: "Baron Ernst Aleksen von Braim, your deeds have spread throughout Germany, and I would like to express to you the greatest respect for your fearless performance on the battlefield. β
"Thank you, Foreign Secretary." Wang Weiyi was polite and authentic.
"Germany has to count on you, boys." Pilov, who had made diplomatic progress in Austria, was in a good mood: "German victory will come soon, boys, go for it." β
Manstein and Richthofen's eyes shone with excitement.
Wang Weiyi has nothing to be happy about.
Germany will not be a victory, but a defeat. But I can't say that here.
The foreign minister was very interested, Leonie glanced at Wang Weiyi, and Wang Weiyi nodded knowingly. She quietly took a few steps back, and followed Leonie to a corner.
"Are you done? Baron Alexon? Leonie asked suddenly.
Wang Weiyi said calmly: "Madam, I don't know what you are talking about. β
"Everyone has their own secrets." Leonie smiled slightly: "In a way, now I am on the same front as you, of course, please don't forget that you once promised to do three things for me." On this basis, I don't want to pursue your secrets, and I can even keep them for you. β
"Thank you, ma'am." Wang Weiyi nodded.
Looking at the joyous guests, Leonie lowered her voice: "Of course, you'd better get out of Berlin as soon as possible, for Nikolai's character he won't give up." Even if you go to the front line, he will continue to pursue it, but that is not his territory after all. β
"I see, ma'am." Wang Weiyi knew that Leonie was trying to protect himself: "I want my Chinese friends to leave you today, and tomorrow we will go back to the battlefield." β
Leonie smiled, "You're an interesting person, Baron Alexon, and I'm sure we'll meet again soon." β
Wang Weiyi didn't want that day to come so soon.
It is undeniable that the Countess is powerful and full of charm, but the longer she spends with such a woman, the more dangerous it becomes.
Now he and she are "friends", but God knows what the result will be if he turns his face one day
At this time, Depsie walked over calmly, first glanced at Wang Weiyi meaningfully, and then said to the countess: "Madam, Colonel Nikolai of the Military Intelligence Bureau of the Army Staff has asked to see you, and he said that he has something that may endanger the security of Germany and asks for your help. β
"Oh, really?" Leonie smiled, not caring at all: "Do you want to come when I have a banquet?" Well, Colonel Nikolai in, please. β
As he spoke, he said to Wang Weiyi: "Baron Alecson, if I guess correctly, the colonel must also want to see you, if you have nothing urgent, please come with me to see the colonel." β
"Very good, ma'am." Wang Weiyi replied calmly.
What should come will always come, there is nothing to avoid, but I didn't expect Colonel Nikolai to come so quickly.
He glanced at Manstein and Richthofen and saw that they were like innocent people. Come to think of it, at least there is the title of nobility that acts as a shield in times of crisis.
