"Extra! Extra! The Capitol was set on fire last night! The suspect has been arrested by the police! Come and see A newsboy was shaking his newspaper in the street.
Not far away, the burned Capitol building is still faintly smoking. The exterior walls that were painted gray white are all black marks, the windows have been smashed, and the door is half open. This building was one of the most powerful places in Germany a few days ago, but now it has no dignity and nobility at all.
Around the building, there are many fire engines standing in disorder. The soldiers of the national defense forces stand upright with rifles, separating the scene of the accident from the crowd around: inside is the silence like hell, and outside is the world full of excitement.
"Give me a newspaper." A middle-aged man in a British navy officer's dress handed the boy a beautiful coin and said gently, "don't change."
The little boy who sold the newspaper was very surprised and accepted the shilling. Then he gave the newspaper to the foreign friend and said enthusiastically, "there will be a public trial of the criminal this afternoon, sir. If you have time, you can go and have a look! I heard well-informed friends say that * burned our Congress, and they are going to attack us. "
The officer touched the top of the boy's head, then turned around with a smile, got into the car behind him, opened the newspaper and read it in detail.
"Colonel Smith, do you really believe that this is * attack?" Asked the driver, who was also his assistant, looking back and frowning.
"Unless those stupid people who don't even have a gun are out of their heads." Smith didn't take his eyes away. He turned a page of the newspaper and replied, "the fanaticism and faith of those people are terrible, but these qualities don't prove that they are stupid."
"Planting?" The assistant frowned and asked.
"No, it's not hard to fool a few hot headed idiots into doing a stupid thing. If we need to, it's not impossible for Communists to burn Buckingham Palace. " Smith sneered, stretched out three fingers and bent them one by one: "the key is" who "," how "and" use. "
"Is it related to akado?" Asked the assistant.
"If you take out the word" will "and use a positive sentence pattern, it will be ten times." Smith put the paper away and threw it on the edge of his seat: "it seems that he wants to fight * and that's what we want to see. He is a smart man, sometimes I really admire him. Because he knows what we need and always gives us something sweet when we can't stand his misdeeds. "
"Can you raise a tiger for trouble?" The assistant frowned again and asked him a question of interest.
"No... no way." Smith sighed and said, "sometimes I really envy Americans. They don't have to worry about things on the other side of the ocean. They just have to wait until everything is destroyed to clean up the mess. We are different. We are afraid of breaking everything we have. So we must keep the mad dog akado, bite the Soviets and scare the French when necessary, so as to ensure the fundamental interests of the British Empire on the European continent. "
In fact, both Britain and France know about Germany's military expansion plan. The only difference is how much they know. The reason why we have been indifferent all the time is that our respective interests are involved, not that the intelligence personnel of the two countries are really a bunch of losers. Smith knew that, in many cases, the British intelligence department had to fake for the Germans to deceive the French, so that Germany could challenge France's hegemony in the European continent.
As Britain's basic national policy, Britain's diplomacy and military have been trying to maintain the balance of power of several countries on the European continent. The country has been expecting the same result as the Americans: Germany and france fight head to head and blood, and finally go to clean up the mess by themselves. In the last war, we supported France to challenge Germany. In the next war, we had better let Germany and France die together without doing it ourselves.
"Go to the court, although you can't do anything, you can still go to see the excitement." Smith shook his head helplessly and finally said.
……
Akado sat in the last row of the court, staring at the man standing in the dock. He didn't know what he was thinking. Next to him, Anna took his left arm and looked like a bird.
The man in the dock was a little thin, but he was in high spirits. His gray windbreaker was a little old and dirty. I think he struggled when he was arrested, but at this moment, he was very calm with handcuffs, his chin was high, and he felt proud.
"I suddenly feel that it's a pity for such a person to die." Gascol looked at the man in the dock and said with a little regret.
"It's a pity. If he agrees, I really want to bring him into the SS. Such people have firm faith and are unyielding. Sometimes I have the illusion that he is a German. " One side of Heidrich also sighed.
Akado still did not speak, just staring at the man on trial, looking numb and solemn.
"Suspect flokhovsky." The judge wore glasses and looked old. His voice was a bit like that of a eunuch who was not completely castrated: "do you admit that the arson case in Congress last night was related to you?"
"Acknowledge." Flokhovsky shook the shackles on his wrist: "as a man, it is my long cherished wish in my life to burn down the nest of capitalism! The Bolsheviks will one day liberate all mankind He pointed to those who came to watch the trial and glanced over the seats: "you exploiting classes who only know how to live! As long as we * people live one day, we will fight with you to the end! Do you regret that you didn't let me appear in court again? My speech is your death knell He straightened his spine more and more: "today's trial on me is unfair! It's arrogant and reactionary! I swear here that my murderer will be tried today, and you will be tried by the people tomorrow! Will be sent to the guillotine by the people! At that time, there will be my monument in the square, and you only have stinky corpses! " No one knows what akado is thinking at this moment. Looking at this man named flokhovsky, akado suddenly thinks of sister Jiang in red rock and Yang Jingyu with cotton wadding in his stomach. Once he questioned those proletarian soldiers who could ignore any physical attack only by faith, but when he saw the man in front of him, he realized the touching persistence face to face. He now began to believe that there are such people, which is an inexplicable ideal. These people breathe for the dream in their hearts. They feel that they can bring hope to their compatriots and their motherland. They prove their nation and soul by igniting themselves. In fact, there are such people in many ethnic groups, in many times, and in many stories. For example, sikert, who revitalized the national defense force by his own efforts, tolerated himself to the last Hindenburg for the future of the German people, and supported the idea of rejuvenating the country through industry to the end of his life? Mr. Benz, and the people who followed him with Germany in their hearts. So there is no lack of heroes in every nation. These people do their best for their motherland, for their people, for the future that only they can see. For example, ran min, the murderer who faces millions of captives, for example, Joan of arc, the girl holding high the battle flag. These people are obstinate to terrible, obstinate to hateful, obstinate to lovely, obstinate to respectable, and obstinate to lamentable“ Please go all the way. I'll make your contribution engraved on the long scroll of history, I promise. " Acardo stood up and did not look back. Behind him, Anna, Gaskell, Reinhart, and the most ferocious, loyal and devout believers of his time. At the moment when they walked out of the court, the sharp voice of the judge came tearing the air: "since the criminal confessed to the content of the crime, the evidence is solid. Then I pronounce that the criminal flokhovsky was convicted of arson, attempted murder, and destruction of the important national symbolic buildings... "Akado stepped out mechanically, throwing away his admiration and pity every step. He walked out step by step, passing by the belated Smith, who nodded, Akado smiles back, everything seems so natural“ No matter what charge you end up in prison, you will be executed immediately. " When akado came to the gate, he ordered, and there was no hesitation in his voice. Gascol nodded. Stop, akado looked up at the sky above the court, the sun is a little harsh, so he had to squint his eyes: "since you admire him, give him a happy, don't make a fuss." Gascol was stunned, then laughed: "yes!" Akado continued to walk down the steps, putting on his leather gloves and the black coat Anna had handed him. Until he got to the side of the car, he said again, "Reinhart, the task given to you will be carried out immediately. Don't be compassionate, and don't leave future troubles! All operations must be done as quickly as possible. "“ Sir, in such a hurry? " Reinhardt asked, picking his eyebrows. He had to ask, because the consequence of worry is more troubles. Although these troubles are not fatal, they have to be dealt with with with with a lot of energy“ Stalin will soon get the news. He will not sit back and ignore such things. I believe that our old friend Tukhachevsky will come here in a few days. At that time, we must give him some face, and we can't let things go. "
