Chapter 46: Vimande (1)

"My story, divided into two parts." V in this world began to talk eloquently, "And the first part of it is actually more like someone else's story to me... From 1926 onwards. ”

"So long?!" Xue Qiong was also frightened by this time span, "It seems that you are not a simple mechanical transformation person..."

V was noncommittal to the question, but went straight to his story, starting with the first part.

In 1926, a sturdy baby boy was born on an unknown island in the Arctic Circle in northern Norway, and the elders of the village blessed the new life, and in the mutual joy of the neighbors, almost everyone said that the child would grow up to be the strongest Viking in the future.

Although, in an era when steam-powered and even internal combustion engines had been widely used in the maritime industry, the Viking pirates who could dominate Europe with wooden warships and canoes were almost impossible to exist.

And the historical process of this world, except for the birth of Chairman Jiang back then, there are also some places in other places that are different from the normal world.

For example, Russia, or the Soviet Union, which only existed in this world for a few decades, but occupied the most land in the world before Chairman Chiang swept the world.

The Qing government of this world was more weak and incompetent, and Cixi was more troubled to the country and the people, and directly ceded Outer Mongolia and Heilongjiang Province to Tsarist Russia, and Tsarist Russia was also trying to continue to invade the south during that time, until it encountered Japan on the Korean Peninsula, which also came to colonize, and the pace of Tsarist Russia's southern invasion finally stopped, and the position of Tsarist Russia and Japan to divide forces is not much different from today's 38th parallel.

As for the establishment of the Soviet Union after the October Revolution, the Maoists also naturally incorporated those lands that originally belonged to the Celestial Empire into their own territory.

Moreover, the Bolsheviks were still full of enthusiasm for the liberation of the proletarians of the world, and they fought and liberated everywhere, taking advantage of the spring breeze of the end of the First World War, to defeat all the capitalists and exploiters, and by the time Stalin came to power in 1924, the Soviet Union had liberated most of northern and central Europe and Western Asia.

The territory of the Soviet Union that once appeared in this world is much larger than in the real world. This red giant beast, which is almost in a large font shape lying directly on the world map, has turned the Black Sea, the Caspian Sea, and the Baltic Sea into its own inland sea, with Germany and Italy, two old powers, directly adjacent to it in the west, India, which was still British at the time, in the south, and Egypt, which is also a British brother, in the southwest, facing each other across the Red Sea...

As for the Republic of China in the southeast... At that time, Chairman Chiang had not yet come to power, and the entire Celestial Empire was still in a chaotic era of semi-colonial and semi-feudal, plus warlord melee and Red Army uprising.

And the Norway of this world had also been liberated by the Bolsheviks at that time. This was almost in the ice and snow all the year round, raised countless powerful Viking pirates, and terrified the whole of Europe, the once great Nordic power, after being liberated, it seems that because of the fierce folk style, and as a fighting nation Maozi is very compatible, so in the Soviet Union mixed the land is very open, but also for the Soviet Red Army, which is fighting all over the world, constantly liberating the proletarians, imported a large number of Nordic warriors.

But it had little to do with the newborn baby boy named Vemund by the elders, or with the snowy village.

Because the island is too small, and there are too few people in this village... The name of this island is no longer known only to these villagers, and whether it is the former Norwegian or the current Soviet Union, they have ignored the people who lived here in these eras.

Isolated from the world, they are forgotten people.

Even in recent years, the flow of information throughout the world has become faster and faster, and some young people in this village have heard about the waves that are being made in the outside world, perhaps because the blood of the Viking warriors is beginning to awaken, and they have not hesitated to join the red flames of war that are burning throughout the Eurasian continent... Including Wimande's father, who didn't know his wife was pregnant at the time. But there are still some young hunters left in the village, and I still kill seals and walruses every day, catch fish, kill one or two whales in the summer, sit by the fireplace and spend time with my wife and children, or ski on the "uplifting" hill of the island, and live as if it had been thousands of years.

And just by relying on these young people, this village can be regarded as self-sufficient, even if there are a lot of old and weak women and children, but they do not have to pay taxes, and there is no opportunity to trade goods with the outside world, and the sea they live in, after the young men elsewhere have gone to war, the prey in the sea has obviously become a lot more...

More than ten years later, under the care of the whole village, the thirteen-year-old Vicand has undoubtedly become the best child in the eyes of the elders and hunters, and the pride of the whole village.

During the day, Wilmande can already go hunting walruses with the hunters, and when he returns home at night, he can help his mother sew fishing nets at home, and by the way, he has begun to learn to read and write on his own...

In this harsh environment, the children were precocious, and most of the girls in the village, who were the same age as Vimande, circled around him every day. There was not a single person in the village who did not believe that Vimande would become the best hunter and the bravest Viking warrior in the future, and then marry a girl in the village, have children, and raise his family and the whole village, and his son, who would in the future proudly call himself "Son of Vimande".

But things have changed.

One night in the winter of that year, a middle-aged man who was already skinny, but who was still scarred on his body, and whose eyes were still resolute in the midst of exhaustion, was a middle-aged man who was once a powerful Viking knocked on Vimande's door in the midst of the snowstorm.

Seeing Vimande open the door, the man showed a puzzled expression, and so did Vimande. But the mother, who heard the noise, screamed loudly when she saw the man, and then rushed forward, and gave the scrawny man a tight hug with the body of a standard Nordic mother, who was no longer young and slender, and almost strangled him to death.

Tears began to well-up in her mother's eyes, and it was a long time before she remembered Vimande, who was standing next to her. Mother stretched out her strong arms, hugged Vermande together, and said in a snort, "Vermande, your father, is back..."

It was all so sudden that Vimand was a little hard to accept. He looked at his father, whom he had never met, with some vigilance, and soon he noticed that his father's right arm was only with long sleeves fluttering...

The year Vermande was thirteen years old was 1939, the year World War II broke out. In an encounter with Nazi Germany, he had his arm broken by a shell, and his battalion was wiped out... When Vermande's father woke up, the Red Army comrades around him had been reduced to cold corpses lying on the ground, and the battlefield seemed to have been cleaned, and most of the weapons and equipment on the soldiers had been taken away, including himself, who had also been searched as corpses, and the guns, steel helmets, water bottles, grenades, and party membership cards were gone.

Although he narrowly escaped his life, Vermande's father was silently grateful in his heart for the protection of Odin and Tyr, but he suddenly realized something.

The whole battalion is dead, and there is nothing on him that can prove his identity... His own Russian is still very lame. Now, if he wants to return to the ranks of the Red Army, it's okay to be treated as a deserter, but what if he is treated as a spy?!

But a Viking warrior is a Viking warrior, and Vimande's father was on his own, passing through several battlefields, and then finding a way to catch a cargo ship to Norway, and after a lot of hardship, returned to his home... But the enthusiasm he had when he joined the army now only brought back a crippled body that needed to be taken care of, and a small pension and a few worthless medals of war heroes who had arrived home a month earlier than he had arrived.

At this point, V paused.

"And then?" The bald head couldn't help but ask.

In Xue Qiong's team, it is estimated that only the bald head, who is slightly closer to ordinary people, will listen to these stories seriously and in a highly immersive state, as for Xue Qiong and Xiaoyun, they are just "listening to stories", and most of their minds are focused on V himself, so when V pauses, they know that this is a conscious pause, and then show with their eyes that I am listening, and they also know that you are fishing for our appetite.

Later, Vermande's father moved into the house. V finally continued, "Under the care of Vimande and his mother, my father's body has regained some vitality, and even if one arm is gone, he can still help some... But Vermand didn't seem to accept the father. And his mother noticed this, and one evening she and Vimande talked about something. Later, his father joined in. ”

"Like those elders, Vimande's veins are also the blood of Viking warriors... During this night talk, Vermande's resentment about his father's abandonment of their mother and daughter was turned to the bourgeoisie and bourgeois lackeys in his parents' mouth, and even at the time, he did not know much about what these concepts were. ”
