Chapter XXIII
As Alex stepped off the train, a tall, muscular white man came running with a few quick steps, the white fur on his head falling from the bumps. The white man didn't care, and stepped forward excitedly, hugging Alex who hadn't reacted yet, and kept muttering things that Alex didn't understand at all.
After hugging for a full ten seconds, the white man let go of Alex with a little reluctance.
Alex was completely blinded by the white man's repeated movements, especially when he heard the language of the white man's mouth, and turned his head to look at the slightly rickety person behind him, who was none other than the interpreter of Auschwitz.
The Nazis in Auschwitz were all dealt with by Alex, and the original translator was also going to be killed together. However, the translator was afraid of death and contributed a lot of secrets, and Alex was able to intercept the coal train translator. According to himself, he was not a translator, but a confidential secretary of the concentration camp, and he had many Nazi military secrets, and he was only temporarily brought in as an interpreter because he was proficient in several languages.
Alex hesitated for a while, then left him behind, the Nordic countries have their own languages, and Alex was worried that he would not be able to communicate when he went to Finland. However, most of the time he was guarded by two soldiers, just in case. That is, just before getting out of the car, because Alex thought that he might need a translator later.
Sure enough, as Alex expected, Alex didn't understand the first sentence of the white man, so he could only turn around and look at the translator: "Nowell, what is he?" ”
"He's welcome, Alex." The interpreter "Nowell" was respectful, without the slightest arrogance at first sight.
"Know my name?" Alex was a little surprised, thought for a moment, and said, "Ask who he is?" ”
Nowell stepped forward to exchange a few words with the white man, then stepped back, leaned behind Alex and said, "He's Neil Grant, a general from Finland, and he's here to pick you up." ”
"Specifically to pick me up? Could it be Howard? Alex didn't know how much of an international sensation his group had caused, and when he heard the news, he thought it was specially arranged by Howard.
In fact, when Alex escaped with 70,000 prisoners of war and civilians from Auschwitz, Howard began to trumpet that the escape led by Alex attracted widespread attention in the international community and was dubbed "the greatest escape in history". The Soviet Union, under international pressure, could only turn a blind eye to the train and let it pass through the three Baltic states.
"He didn't, but he invited us to Finland right away." Nowell lowered his head slightly, so that his face could not be seen.
About two hours later, 70,000 people left Estonia in an orderly manner under nearly 100 ships sent by Finland and set foot on the snow-covered land of Finland.
From beginning to end, the local government in Estonia did not react, completely assuming that their 70,000 people were invisible, which disappointed Tobi Marens, who originally thought that there was still a tough battle.
Putting a thick leather coat on Audrey, Alex turned his head to look at Neil Grant beside him, and asked with some confusion: "Mr. Grant, how long will it be before we see the Norwegian Sea?" After a night's rest in Helsinki, the group took another train to the far north of Finland, where they were to sail across the Norwegian Sea via the Barents Sea back to England.
"In two hours you will be in Inari, where you will be able to sail in a boat." Neil looks very powerful, but in fact he is very kind, and always has a gentle smile on his face.
"Oh, that's great, it's finally time to go home!" It's been a few months since I came out, and Alex is really a little homesick, thinking about Steve and Bucky, the good friends, and thinking about Marilyn Monroe's sister.
"Alex, I'm afraid you're going to have to stay in England for a few more days!" At this moment, Toby walked briskly, jealousy written on his face, "Mr. Churchill has invited you to dinner, and His Majesty the King will personally present you with the Victoria Cross!" Victoria Cross, oh my God, it's Victoria Cross! ”
"What?" Alex looked at Toby with a look of surprise on his face, "You're not kidding, are you?" ”
"Are you kidding? I wish it was a joke! Toby rolled his eyes at Alex and handed over the letter in his hand, "There are also rumors that even the U.S. government is going to award you the Medal of Honor." ”
"Can't you? I didn't do anything! Alex was very self-conscious, he really didn't feel like he had anything to commend him.
"Saving 70,000 prisoners of war and civilians is already a great achievement!" Neil on the side said with envy, and Nowell faithfully translated Neil's envy, in fact, he himself was very envious.
"But I didn't do it alone, Toby has other soldiers." Alex turned his head to look at Neil, "Of course, we can't do without your help, otherwise we wouldn't be able to leave the continent." ”
"You have the ability to escape alone, but you stay, and the vast majority of people can't do it." Toby looked at Alex with a serious expression, "Victoria Cross, it's yours." Toby had seen Alex's abilities, and he could leave at any time if he wanted to, but Alex chose to stay, choosing to escape with 70,000 people from Auschwitz, and breaking through the siege with all dangers.
"I'm a little proud of you." Alex chuckled, but his mind suddenly remembered his past life.
In his previous life, Zhang Xuan was just an ordinary otaku, and he was angry. Lucky to have the ability to transmit the mind, Zhang Xuan did not use it to make a fortune, nor did he use it to punish evil and promote good, he only regarded it as a convenient channel for himself to travel around, and if he had the opportunity, he would return to China with the treasures that belonged to Huaxia, that's all. The most drastic thing Zhang Xuan ever did was when he burned down the Yasukuni Shrine with a lot of anger after the Diaoyu Island incident broke out.
Of course, no one knew that Zhang Xuan did all this, and there was not even a single news on the Internet or TV, as if it had never happened. Sometimes Zhang Xuan enjoys the loneliness of this unsung hero, but sometimes, Zhang Xuan also wants to be praised by thousands of people in front of his celebrity.
In his previous life, Zhang Xuan was nameless until he died, and no one knew everything he had done.
In this life, in just a few months, his name has spread all over the world, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill wants to have dinner with him, and the British royal family wants to award himself a medal. Thinking about it, Zhang Xuan felt excited, he liked this feeling.
"In this life, I don't want to be unknown anymore!" Alex opened his arms, faced the cold wind, and shouted in his heart, "I want to be a hero, a great hero admired by thousands of people!" ”
