Chapter 166

A car passed through the silent streets of Berlin under the cover of night. The owner of the car seems to be in a hurry to do something, so the car is driving very fast. Whoosh past, with a leaf on the road.

At a police checkpoint on the outskirts of Berlin, two policemen saw a speeding car and reached for the car to stop. However, the car obviously didn't mean to slow down. They were so scared that they ran to the side of the road and watched the car roar past.

"Colonel Smith! As a British military attache in Germany, you kidnapped the ambassador and ran away! Are you not afraid to go to court martial? " In the back of the car, the British ambassador stares at Smith angrily.

Smith snorted coldly: "only you idiot can't see that Germany is going to war against Poland! If we don't leave now, are we waiting to be captured by the Germans? If you were the only one, the German head of state would probably let you leave Germany. But after dealing with him so many times, he would never let me leave easily! I applied for the transfer documents with you, but you idiot didn't approve it! "

"You are really crazy! How can I approve a transfer document submitted to me by someone who wants to run away. " The ambassador also snorted, obviously still angry: "you let me run away in such a mess, how can we get back to England? The British Empire has not declared war with Germany yet

"You fools, you have ignored the report of Col. gludo, and my warning has been shelved. Now the Germans are as strong as they were in 1914... No, they are more powerful than then! What are you waiting for? " Smith sighed and said, "this evening, just a few hours ago, akado made a speech in Congress, claiming that no one can stop the rise of the third empire! Now that he is full-fledged, he no longer has to seek development space for Germany! But the British Empire is going to face a full-scale war again

"Things are not as bad as you think! The Americans are on our side! " The British ambassador frowned and quibbled.

"Americans? Americans have never been on our side! The Americans are on the winner's side "Whether they will help Britain or not depends on how we fight the next war," Smith said

"God! Poland has two million troops, and France has at least two million. It is impossible for the Germans to win. If they can't think of another war, we can easily defeat them as we did in the last war. " The British ambassador said contemptuously: "the Germans only drove away the Allied arms control commission a year ago. At that time, they began to arm themselves. They lack artillery and fighter planes, so they can't win the war."

"Only you think the Germans are short of guns and fighters! Mr. Ambassador! Everyone with something in their head knows that the Germans were preparing for the next war in 1920! On the contrary, only we - the British Empire - yesterday! Only yesterday did we begin to prepare for the coming war. " Smith said hatefully.

The car suddenly slowed down, and Smith's face hit the back of the front seat. At that time, he was a little dizzy. The British ambassador beside him was unconscious because of his age. In the chaos, Smith finally shook his head and woke up.

In the middle of the road, a German four-wheel armored reconnaissance vehicle was crossing there. The 20 mm machine guns on the armored vehicle were facing Smith's car. In the rear of the armored vehicle, a military truck was parked there. On both sides of the armored vehicle, there were a group of soldiers of the national defense forces with live ammunition.

On both sides of the road, there are two Mercedes Benz off-road vehicles. The canvas ceiling is a convertible design adopted by Mercedes Benz company to save steel. It has clear edges and corners. You can see that it's a military car. The latest German flag is painted on the front engine compartment, which seems to remind the air force not to hurt by mistake.

"Colonel Smith! Nice to meet you here! " "The head of the National Defense Forces officer said with a smile:" the head of state is very concerned about you, so he ordered us to send you back to him anyway

Smith took a crumpled document out of his coat pocket and stuffed it into the pocket of the British ambassador, who was still in a daze. Then he looked at his adjutant and whispered, "let the ambassador give this document to Mr. Churchill and tell him what I can't do for him."

The adjutant looked at the German soldiers who were gathering around and nodded to Smith. Soon they could see in the car lights the tactical vests the German soldiers were wearing, with grenades hanging like small pineapples, and a strange rifle with a magazine they had never seen before.

"The wise don't talk in secret. I run away late at night just to find a way to live. We didn't bring any prohibited articles! And as diplomats of the British Empire, you will not violate international law, will you Smith opened the car door, got out of the car, took out his pistol and threw it to the ground.

The German official looked at Smith and laughed: "in fact, Germany is willing to abide by international laws. The head of state is just talking to you, Mr. Smith. As for other British diplomats, we will not interfere in any of their freedom. "

"Thank you." Smith stepped aside, closed the door, and pointed to the car next to him: "can they go now?"“ Yes The officer waved to his men to get out of the way. Several German soldiers with G43 rifles got out of the way. Now the German team's rifles are roughly divided into three types, one is responsible for long-range fire extension of the precision rifle Mauser 98K; One is a variety of G43 semi-automatic rifles used by paratroopers and ordinary soldiers; Another is mp-44 assault rifles that have just been distributed to the army and are only equipped for officers and soldiers above the monitor. Of course, according to the elite level of the troops, the equipment proportion of these rifles varies greatly. The most elite German infantry divisions are often equipped with four Mauser 98K rifles, four G43 semi-automatic rifles, two mp-44 assault rifles and one light machine gun per class. However, most of the troops do not have such a configuration, and many of them do not even have mp-44 assault rifles. They use eight Mauser rifles, two G43 automatic rifles and a light machine gun to make up the number. The car slowly passed through the narrow passage of the German soldiers, and drove along the road to the far end of the night, disappearing at the end of the horizon. Smith took a long breath, and then looked at the German official: "let's go. It seems that the Fuehrer can't wait to see me."“ Excuse me, before we go, we need to do some security checks. Although Mr. Smith is a smart man, everyone knows that smart people sometimes do stupid things. Is that right? " The officer said with a smile. Smith gave a wry smile and raised his hands. Two German soldiers came forward and touched him from head to toe. They even asked him to take off his shoes and examine them carefully. Then these soldiers began to return to the truck behind the armored car. Two soldiers accompanied Smith to an open SUV, the officer took the co driver's seat, and several soldiers got into another car. The two cars left the army and drove back to downtown Berlin. It was the next morning when I saw akado again. As soon as the Fuehrer got up and was still in his pajamas, I saw Smith standing in his living room in a mess“ good morning! Mr. Smith. I heard that you wanted to leave Germany last night. Why don't you say hello to my old friend? Is there any misunderstanding between us? " Akado said with a smile. Smith sighed: "now that I've already called you, can you let me go? My ticket is at noon today. It seems that it's still time to leave. "“ Colonel Smith, you still have a good sense of humor Akado laughed: "you are more acute than your colleagues! You know that the preparations for the recent German military expansion are almost complete, so you are in a hurry to leave. " Acardo said with a smile, "how can I let go such a dangerous enemy as you?"“ So here I am, arcado. To tell you the truth, if I had to choose again, I would have killed myself and smashed your head the first time I saw you. " Smith said helplessly“ You didn't do it, so you won't have this chance in the future. " Akado pointed to the red wine on the tea table with a smile: "would you like a drink before you leave?"“ Of course Smith walked over with a smile and drank his glass. Then he walked out of acardo's living room without looking back. His steps were heavy but firm. On September 12, 1937, Colonel Smith, the military attache of the British Embassy in Germany, was sent to a concentration camp in the suburb of Berlin. There was no news since then. On the same day, the British ambassador and his entourage disappeared in Berlin. No one was alive or dead. Witnesses confirmed that they had crossed the German French border, but France had no record of their entry. For some reason, the German army kept its due restraint when the Soviet army attacked Poland. It was not until the morning of September 13, 1937 that Germany officially expelled the Polish ambassador and declared war on Poland on the afternoon of the same day. Akado denounced the Polish government for seizing the Danzig corridor, the hometown of Germany, regardless of the desire of the German people for peaceful reunification. On behalf of all German compatriots, he denounced the evil Polish rulers. On the afternoon of the day when Germany declared war on Poland, France declared war on Germany. A few minutes later, Germany declared war on France. Three days later, Britain declared war on Germany and accused Germany of detaining British embassy staff. Then, Germany declared war on Britain and World War II broke out.
