Chapter 558

A car with the license plate of the Berlin garrison command is driving fast on the road, and the black painted car body reflects gorgeous light in the sun. This kind of car is a special reception car for the generals of the German defense forces. It does not belong to a certain person, but is responsible for receiving the generals who return to Berlin.

However, the car is not driving on the streets near Berlin now. It is at least 100 kilometers away from Berlin. But this morning, the people in the car were ordered to go to a small town near Berlin.

"The car?" A German civilian put down his tools, looked up, wiped his sweat, and looked at the car belonging to the German national defense forces with puzzled eyes. The reason why civilians here don't like military cars is related to the last large-scale military expansion.

This small town has a large population, which can be regarded as a large-scale town. The last time the German national defense forces expanded their forces, they took a total of 14000 recruits from here at one go. Therefore, people in this small town are instinctively sensitive to the military vehicles of the German national defense forces.

"Why are you here again?" The woman next to him who was piling up the strapped grass into the car had the same complaint: "when they came last time, they recruited almost all the young people in the town. Up to now, no one has been allowed to come back from vacation."

"Fighting for our country is what we should do. Don't be so fussy any more." The man who repaired the car yelled at his wife sternly: "see that monument standing at the entrance of the town?"

His wife listened to the reprimand, a face of resentment closed his mouth, their oldest child, only 21 years old, has been fighting for more than half a year of war veterans. Now he is serving in North Africa, and the photo sent back shows that he is already a sergeant monitor. He looks quite dark.

The car stopped in the square of the town. A major general waited for his assistant to open the door before he got out of his car. At this time, the weather no longer need to wear the overcoat issued by the German generals. He only wore the general uniform, and the major general stars on his shoulders were shining.

He walked around the car and looked at the stone tablet in the center of the town, as if his face was filled with reverence. He watched for a long time before he came out of his mind and nodded apologetically to his assistant.

"Go in..." the major general looked around and looked at his common people with uneasy eyes. He felt that it was really easy to cause misunderstanding when he stood here. He said to his assistant, "go to the mayor's office!"

His assistant nodded, followed the general with his briefcase, and two young German soldiers stood in front of the administrative hall in the center of the town. When they saw the general coming towards them, they were obviously excited: "stand at attention! Long live the Fuehrer, akado Rudolph

"Long live the Fuehrer!" The general gently signaled the end of the ceremony and continued to move forward. Since the beginning of the war, German administrative units have stationed some light infantry in charge of security work. These soldiers are new recruits who have just been trained and are often replaced. Almost all newly recruited soldiers need to train for one month, and then take charge of the security work for another month before they are sent to the front line to participate in combat.

Of course, this rule is not well implemented now. The front line is waiting for more soldiers to make up for the losses, so most of the soldiers are sent to the front line after three weeks of training and a week's rest.

"General! What is it to call the headquarters of the national defense forces here? How can your driver come here in person? " The mayor sat in his office and didn't stand up to greet him. After all, the two people belong to different departments, so there's no need to be too polite.

"This time I came, I was ordered to find out the heroine of this letter." With a smile, the major general asked his secretary to open the briefcase and take out a letter in a corner stained red with blood. Because of the bloodstain, the paper seems to have some wrinkles, but I can see that this letter has been kept well along the way.

The mayor was stunned, then frowned and stared into the general's eyes: "spy case? We don't have any important military bases here. This kind of thing doesn't happen much! Or a woman? Can't you be mistaken? "

The general laughed: "don't guess. Just look at it and you'll see. Marshal brauchich's personal involvement in this matter has been recorded in the propaganda department. After verification, it will be used as imperial propaganda materials at an appropriate time."

Doubts filled the mayor's eyes. He took the letter and looked at it carefully. The lines of words full of blood gradually spread his eyebrows, and the expression in his eyes changed from doubts to moving.

I don't know if you will miss me, maybe you won't miss me. But I really don't miss you all the time. Imagine what kind of person you will marry and how to spend your beautiful youth... As long as you live well, I will be happy in heaven

At that time, I will propose to you and hold a wedding that everyone envies. We will have many children and live happily together until we are 100 years old. We will love you forever, Bode.

The mayor closed the letter, stood up with a smile, took out a bottle of good looking French red wine from the cabinet beside him, and handed an empty glass to the general: "you know, we only sent more than 14000 fathers and sons to the battlefield more than half a year ago. This time you came here, I thought you came for the source of soldiers."

Obviously, the mayor had no intention of entertaining military personnel with good wine. No matter what these generals came to do, it seemed that they all had some bad news: if they lost the war, they needed to continue conscription; In short, local governments don't like these generals of the German defense forces. They represent a lot of bad things and endless bad news. But obviously this time it wasn't, so he took out the wine“ In fact, we do not have a larger mobilization plan in the short term. The head of state hopes to end the war, but it is obvious that the Soviet Union and the Americans want us to continue to fight. This is not how we want to do it ourselves. " The general took the glass and politely asked the mayor to fill it. The mayor nodded: "but this time I will do my best to help the military. I'll arrange someone to look for this girl. She should receive this love from afar."“ Thank you The general took a sip of the wine, then pointed to the stone tablet outside with a smile and said, "do you still believe what is written on that tablet?"“ Of course Without thinking about it, the mayor immediately replied, "we firmly believe in the above words. That's our faith and our oath!" The general solemnly agreed: "because of you, we all firmly believe that the German Empire will become the world's leading power." The mayor took a look at the general, then turned around and called his secretary and arranged for someone to look for a family in the town. Germany's wartime registered residence statistics were very strict and orderly, so the assistant soon found the address of the Correa family. Shall we go together? " After the general got the result he wanted, he immediately put down his glass, stood up and suggested to the mayor“ Together The mayor nodded and the two walked out of the house together. Soon, they drove to Coria's home, where they found a girl named Coria who was working for her mother. They asked to confirm their identity and mentioned a boy named bird. Obviously, the girl knew bode and chatted about the silly neighbor“ Miss, I think he will never come back. Here is a letter he left you. I hope you can accept it. " The general saluted the girl regretfully, and then gave the letter to the girl who was in the same place. Soon, crying came from the room. In the quiet town, it was like a branch swaying in the wind. It was heartbreaking and heartbreaking. With a life away, this love may never leave any results, but it still exists, engraved in this era, leaving an eternal mark“ Why? Why don't you tell me face to face? Why? " Coria sat on the ground crying, holding the bloody letter. She must also like bode's, who can know that the first confession of the letter, became two people's farewell. The mayor patted the girl on the shoulder and said, "he is a warrior who died for Germany. Everyone in the town will be proud of him." Finally, the general stood silently for a long time under the stone tablet of the town before he got on the bus and left. When he left, the town was singing majestic songs. All the people were shouting slogans of dedicating themselves to Germany, and shouting the name of the soldier bode excitedly. The voice was wave after wave. During the first World War, the town selected 10000 soldiers and sent them to the front line. Soon, almost all of them were killed in one battle. The people in the small town were not afraid of death. They immediately gathered another 10000 people to continue to fight for their motherland. In the end, 30000 people in the whole town went to the battlefield and fought against the enemies of Britain and France on the cruel western front. In 1919, only more than 2000 soldiers returned to their hometown. They erected a stone tablet in the center of the town to commemorate the dead. On the stone tablet is engraved a line of words: even if we all die in war, Germany will last forever. As the sun sets, the golden afterglow covers the stone tablet, which seems to have gilded it, but the simple stone tablet is still simple and solemn
