Chapter 3

Mr. Colonel did not intend to end the conversation. He continued with the documents in his hand and said, "and you have been promoted. Almost all your companies have been killed. The headquarters of the army ordered the promotion of qualified and capable soldiers on the spot. You have no problem with your qualifications, and your ability is very good, so from now on, you are a staff sergeant. "

There was a feeling of crying and laughing. Hitler had been thinking about the iron cross he got for half a year, and the rank of sergeant, which was too small to be further small. Akkado actually got it easily just lying on the ground beside the hospital bed for two days.

After reading the order, the Colonel did not intend to talk nonsense. In his capacity, he really did not want to talk nonsense with a person who was neither a noble officer nor his immediate superior.

Officers sometimes have advantages. When akado came back from the regimental headquarters, his uniform had been changed into a brand-new one, and there was an enviable black iron cross on his chest.

How else to say that Germany's industrial level is enviable? This medal is small and exquisite, which fully gives the wearer a sense of honor and pride. All the way, akkado played with this medal countless times. At that time, it was a rare item that he couldn't find in his collection. In China, this thing can only be seen in photos, and it's hard to find a real object.

However, thinking about the process of getting this thing, akkado still thinks it's strange to take a few less: because in the process of getting it, the name was changed from the list of winners to the list of missing persons inexplicably.

In fact, there is no need to be too careful. Akado knows that this time he will never have to go back to the front line to fight. Because soon after the 16th Austrian Infantry Corps withdrew from the front line, the first World War, which made all Germans feel oppressed, would be over.

Originally, the situation was slightly favorable for Germany. With the advent of 1918, the German army, which had been on the defensive for four years, was ready to launch another offensive.

Except for the stalemate on the western front, the German army won on all other battlefields. Serbia, Romania, and finally Russia succumbed to the German attack and signed a peace treaty with the new Soviet regime, which enabled the Germans to obtain a large plain of Ukraine.

As the enemy on the eastern front had disintegrated, the German army dispatched more than 1 million troops from the eastern front to France in order to break the deadlock and fight a decisive battle on the western front“ The battle of the emperor is about to begin.

In the spring, the German army launched four major offensives, forcing Britain and France to retreat one after another. The British were ordered to fight to the last soldier. On July 15, the decisive battle began near the city of Lyme. Both sides knew that once the battle was fought, the outcome would be known.

"If I attack well in REMs," said German general rudendoff, "we will win this war." Marshal Fu Xu, commander-in-chief of the Allied forces, agreed with this view. He once said, "if the German forces succeed in attacking lymes, we will lose this war."

As a result, the German attack failed, and the seemingly powerful Germany had no reserves. The United forces not only had American divisions to strengthen their strength, but also had weapons and food supplies pouring in from the United States.

When the train took Hitler eastward, he was still blind and on the verge of physical and mental collapse. His eyes are red and swollen, and his face is bulging like a ball. The voice of these soldiers was ghost like, feeble and terrible. If nurses come to take care of them, they are often furious and refuse. They don't eat, they don't drink, they don't allow people to treat inflamed eyes. No matter what the doctors say, their eyesight will soon recover, it doesn't help. What they need is to lie still and moan, to relieve the pain, even by death.

Taking the same train to leave the front line, there was also a little man who had never been recorded in history, a sergeant of the third company of the Austrian infantry regiment, and a mercenary from far east China, akado.

"The end of Germany, the attack near Lyme exhausted our reserves, but did not make any real progress, the United States to join us completely passive. His majesty may end the war in the near future. " With his rifle in his arms, akado leaned against the iron sheet of the train carriage and whispered, "the war may end this year."

"Although reluctant, Mr. akado, your strategic vision has always been very accurate. You expected the attack near Lyme to happen, but I still don't want to believe that we will be defeated." Hitler's eyes wrapped in gauze, some lonely said.

"Mr. Hitler, we are still young. Although we are at a disadvantage now, we will get everything back." Akado said in a firm voice.

Hitler nodded and did not speak. For a long time, with the clang of the train wheels hitting the rail seams, Hitler suddenly said, "Mr. akado, you are really a learned man. I think you are more knowledgeable than our battalion commander."

"Thank you." Akado smiles, then looks at the distant plain through the gap. The first World War is over, and the past 20 years will be his own stage.

At the beginning of August 1918, the British launched a surprise attack near Amiens, and the German army collapsed almost without firing a shot. The German army retreated, but the position was still there, and hundreds of people were willing to perform their military duties. Germany * people with their own blood to verify their vows, they are not willing to step back, stubborn and persistent to stick to the fragmented position, to create all kinds of trouble to the opponent.

But at home in Germany, the belief of continuing the war gradually disappeared, and strikes occurred one after another. In the eyes of diehards like Hitler, the safe and undisturbed rear area, the laggards, speculators, pretenders, evaders, traitors, and Jews who neither love nor respect Germany, betrayed the front of the desperate battle at the most severe moment. When the train took akkado and Hitler to the hospital in baswark, a small city in the province of Pomerania, his own disappointment threw his pain out of the air. After several weeks of treatment, Hitler recovered his vision. The keratitis had gone, the swelling of his eyes had subsided, and the sharp pain in his eyes began to ease. Slowly, he saw the outline of things around him. The recovery of his eyesight gave Hitler hope and renewed his interest in the current events. However, the far-off Imperial Center of Berlin itself has been effectively surrounded, and the new manager has urged the German emperor to abdicate in order to sign a cease-fire agreement. On this morning, akkado was brushing his teeth. The hospital in baswark was quiet. Occasionally, some soldiers gave out a slight groan. Everything seemed so peaceful and beautiful. Three young men in overalls and forward hats walked into the large wounded ward. They found a prominent position and pulled a chair beside a wounded soldier's bed to the center of the passage. One of the leading young men jumped up, cleared his throat and made a speech: "long live Bolsheviks! Gentlemen! Only the Bolsheviks can save our Germany! The German Emperor must step down! He is the chief culprit in this war“ Your majesty is not the culprit! You are a group of bandits! " Hitler, with red eyes, retorted loudly“ well! boy! Look at the Soviet! Look at comrade Lenin! They Russians quit the war without losing anything! We should believe that the Bolsheviks can also lead us out of the threat of war! " The young leader waved his fist and said firmly. What he said was reasonable and convincing. Although everyone was silent, Hitler, who was so angry, was stunned for a moment and could not refute it“ Have you ever been to war? " A voice sounded from the door, clear and firm, and everyone's eyes were attracted to the past. There stood a tall Germanic, a little thin, but his sparse stubble was very smelly. A pair of blue eyes are staring at the three young people in the middle of the hall in the deep socket. There is no emotion in the eyes. These eyes have seen life and death, so there is no waves“ Have you ever been to war? " Akado saw that the three did not speak and asked again.
