Chapter Twenty-Four: The Red Skull Returns
When the train stopped, Alex first saw the endless blue water outside the window and asked with surprise, "This is the Norwegian Sea?" β
Neil smiled and explained, "This is Lake Inari, and it's still early in the Norwegian Sea!" β
Alex is not embarrassed, he is not a geography student, he doesn't know that it is normal, and even if he has revealed it after a few laughs, his heart is still full of doubts.
Neil seemed to see Alex's confusion and explained: "Northern Finland is not connected to the sea, it is surrounded by Norway and the Soviet Union. The only way to go to sea is to take a boat from Inari, cross Lake Inari from the Patz River into the Barents Sea, and then go around to the Norwegian Sea and back to the UK. β
After a slight pause, Neil's brows furrowed tightly, and he said with some concern: "The Pats River is going to flow through Norway, and I'm afraid that the Norwegians will come out and stop it when the time comes." β
Alex's brows furrowed, Norway is now a German-occupied area, and the geographical location is very important, the mustache sees this territory as particularly important, and has also supported a puppet government for this. It seems to be a bit difficult to get out of his territory!
& Don't worry too much, Finnmark belongs to Northern Norway, and Quisling's control over this side is relatively weak, so there shouldn't be a problem. Seeing Alex's worried look, Neil spoke up again. It's just that his changes have made Alex even more worried.
In order to save capacity and to avoid a target that was too large, 70,000 people were arranged on ten ships, which were slightly crowded. Fortunately, a group of people did not complain about anything, and after experiencing the cruel torture of Auschwitz, they were very content to be able to escape.
Seven boats lined up in a long line and sailed out of the Inari Pier towards the Patz River, the lower reaches of Lake Inari. Neil continued to follow along the way, and also brought 2,000 Finnish soldiers to guard the ship, and these 2,000 men would also serve as Finnish troops in the Allied Powers, in exchange for the continuous military aid from Britain and the United States to Finland.
Contrary to history, the Soviet-Finnish war was still going on until this time, and Finland was still far from running out of ammunition and food after receiving British and American aid. Finland also completely stepped on the chariot of the Allies and would not walk with the mustache again.
As soon as the ship sailed out of the Inari River and into Norway under the Patz River, Neil became nervous, and even Toby became nervous, and 2,000 Finnish troops and 20,000 prisoners of war were scattered on ten ships, always on guard.
Alex was also cautious, his sixth sense telling him once again that danger was approaching. But this feeling came and went, leaving Alex at a loss.
Most of the day had a thrilling journey, and when I saw the endless sea in front of me, an accident happened.
A thick iron lock crossed the mouth of the Pots River, blocking the way to the sea. Seeing this, Alex's heart jumped, knowing that trouble had come to the door.
& Deal with these locks! Alex left a word, and the telekinesis came to the iron lock, and with the ability to control the metal, the iron lock with the thickness of his arm quickly fell into the Patts River, and the river was clear again.
Alex was just about to return when he suddenly found that countless bullets and shells flew out of the dense forest on both sides.
Alex's face changed greatly when he saw this, the ten ships carrying 70,000 people were not warships, they were just ordinary merchant ships, and if they were hit, they would never want to go to sea again!
Without thinking about it, Alex quickly dispersed his mental power, and the metal control was immediately deployed, trying his best to block all the bullets and shells. At the same time, Alex also launched a counterattack, controlling some shells and firing them back in the opposite direction.
After repeated artillery fires, the attacks on both sides of the strait suddenly slowed down. Alex continued to exert his strength, and under his control, the bullets continued to weave through the dense forest as if they had eyes, killing one Nazi after another.
In just a moment, the sound of gunfire on both sides of the bank completely disappeared, and Alex instantly lost his strength and plunged headlong into the turbulent Patts River below, and disappeared in an instant.
Controlling metal is not Alex's own ability after all, he copied it from Marx, it is like a coded file, and before it is cracked, Alex wants to use it and can only control it with mental power. After a few minutes of consumption, Alex's mental power was quickly exhausted, and Alex naturally fainted when his mental power was exhausted.
Seeing Alex fall into the river, Toby's face changed greatly, and when he was about to send someone down the river to look for him, Neil on the side shouted repeatedly: "Go, go quickly, while the other party is dumb now, it's too late, more than 70,000 people will die!" β
Toby's face turned hideous, and he roared angrily: "You take them away, I'll go find Alex!" As he spoke, without waiting for Neil's reply, he jumped into the rushing water.
What is surprising is that nearly 100 people jumped into the cold and turbulent river without the slightest hesitation.
Glancing at Toby, who had slipped into the deep water, Neil clenched his fists and shouted in a voice from his chest: >
On the bank of the Patz River, next to an armored car, a slender Nazi officer wearing a black leather trench coat with a dignified face held a pair of binoculars in his hand and a smile of excitement on his face: "That was the teleporter just now?" I didn't expect that there were other abilities, which was so surprising! β
> Find him for me no matter what, and see a man alive or a corpse when he dies! The Nazi officer put down his binoculars, the smile on his face getting deeper and deeper, but the sides of his cheeks seemed to be somewhat collapsed, revealing the red skin underneath.
This person is none other than the Red Skull who has put on the human skin mask again!
>> Sir, the FΓΌhrer's order is......" The confidential secretary next to the Red Skull walked over with a hint of concern on his face.
& Take care of the ships, do my orders, at once! The red skull's face changed suddenly, and the momentum on his body came out, making the confidential secretary beside him tremble.
After a while, someone came to report: "Report to the sir, the river is really fast......
Without waiting for the man to finish speaking, the red skull grabbed the person's neck with one hand, slowly raised it, and said sharply: "I don't need an excuse, I just need people, find people for me immediately!" As soon as he finished speaking, the red skull's hand twisted slightly, and the neck of the person who came was directly twisted.
This hand frightened all the Nazis, and one by one, they didn't care about the cold of the river, and rushed into the river like crazy, pulling the net to search. Finally, when it was getting dark, they found Alex's "body", and at the same time captured Toby and a group of about 100 people who went down to the river to find people. Red Skull's men are all highly skilled agents, and it is naturally easy to deal with Toby and other GIs.
> Sir, there's news. Seeing a group of agents carrying Alex's body over, Red Skull was about to go over to check it out, when the confidential secretary next to him came over again, and his voice was still a little shaky, "In West Fordshire, Tensberg." β
Hearing this, the red skull suddenly turned around, and he didn't care about studying the teleporter, he grabbed the confidential secretary tightly with both hands, and his distorted face was full of excitement: "It's been a few years, and there's finally news!" β
At this time, a group of agents approached with Alex's body on their shoulders, and a group of GIs were escorted behind them, none other than the dejected Toby and others.
After glancing at Alex, who was in a coma, and then at Toby and the others, Red Skull thought for a while and said, "Send them all back to the base and lock them up!" He pointed at Alex and admonished, "Beware of his teleportation, and if he lets him run, watch out for your heads!" β
With that, the Red Skull got into the armored car and couldn't wait to rush towards Thensberg, where he had the treasure he had been pursuing all his life. Compared to this treasure, Alex is insignificant.
