() The taxi driver’s introduction was beyond Ron’s expectation. To be honest, Ron really didn’t know this was a ghost castle. In fact, look at this majestic castle shining in the midday sun.

Who would connect it with something like a ghost? Ron looked at Nadya, and he found that not only did Nadya not show any fear, but, well, she looked a little eager to try.

"Are you telling the truth?" Nadya asked, "What kind of ghosts are there? In addition to ghosts, are there any vampires? Are there any stories about those ghosts?"

"I have never encountered a ghost in the castle," the driver told the truth, "but many people claim to have encountered one. As for vampires, we are not in Romania and there is no Dracula. In the ancient legend of Scotland,

There are also very few vampires. As for those ghosts, according to legend, some of them are princesses who were defeated and killed in political struggles, and some were unlucky people who contracted the Black Death and died in closed dungeons. Miss, you Americans

Those who have not experienced the Black Death pandemic probably don’t know about it. But back then, the Black Death killed almost half of the people in Edinburgh. It is said that at that time, those among the nobles who were infected with the disease would be sent to the dungeons of the castle. In

Where to wait to die slowly?"

"What about the civilians in Edinburgh?" Nadya asked curiously.

"Oh, civilians infected with the disease will be driven into Mary King's Alley. The entire block will be sealed off. Once they go in, they will not be able to get out. They will not be able to get drinking water inside. It will take several days.

, everyone would die there. So there was a lot of trouble in that place."

"Oh my God. This, this is terrible!" Nadya whispered.

"So, miss, do you need me to take you back?" the taxi driver asked.

"Nadya?" Ron also looked at Nadya. Now he wanted to hug Nadya no longer need to rely on means such as taking his girlfriend to watch a horror movie and then expecting her to throw herself into his arms out of fear. So.

He really didn't want to scare the little swan.

"No! I haven't seen what a ghost castle really looks like." Nadya shook her head firmly, "Although there are always a lot of castles and ghosts in ballets. But in fact, I don't even see ordinary castles.

I haven’t gone in yet.”

"Aren't you scared, Nadya?" Ron was a little worried.

"I'm scared." Nadya smiled, "But I'm very curious and want to see... Ron, will you protect me?"

"Of course, my princess, I am your knight."

…

More than an hour later, Ron and Nadya walked out of the castle.

"Except for being a little dark and a little drafty, there was nothing in the castle. There were no ghosts floating around, bloodstains that flickered in and out, or cries in the darkness.

Well." Nadya complained, probably expecting to be shocked, but in the end she didn't encounter anything, which made her a little disappointed.

"You can be considered to have been educated in atheism by the Soviet Union's Saturn Community since childhood." Ron shook his head, "Don't you know that ghosts and stuff are all made up to deceive people?"

"Huh, isn't it all your fault that I can't see the ghost?" Nadya shrugged her nose, "Everyone says that ghosts are afraid of evil people. With a bad guy like you here, of course the ghosts won't dare to come out... But, Ron, just now

Did you notice the man we met when we came out of the castle?"

"What's wrong?" Ron asked.

"I just think that person is a bit sinister, like a ghost."

"I don't think so at all. Oh, I heard that the place in Edinburgh where ghosts are most likely to be encountered is actually not here..."

…

In a blink of an eye, it was already the time when the lights were on, and Ron pulled Nadya out of a closed alley. Nadya's face was pale, and her chest heaved rapidly.

"How is it? Is it exciting this time?"

"It's a bit scary!..." Nadya gasped, "I really heard crying just now. Ron, did you hear it?"

"No, I just heard the wind."

"There was really crying mixed in with the sound of the wind." Nadya said, "It seemed to be the voice of a five or six-year-old little girl. The crying sound was sometimes far away, sometimes close, sometimes in front, and sometimes behind.

Moreover, I felt her hand touching my skirt and pinching my calf."

"The cry of a little girl?" Ron remembered a legend about this lane called Mary King's Lane. It is said that there was a little girl named Anne who was abandoned by her cruel parents because she was suspected of being sick.

In the alleyway. This little girl walked around in the alleyway, looking for her parents everywhere, until she died inside. Legend has it that she became a ghost after her death, and she liked to pull people's skirts with her hands. Thinking of this, Ron felt a little bit

Got nervous.

"Are you okay?" Ron asked anxiously.

"My leg hurts. It's getting more and more painful." Nadya raised her eyebrows and curled up her right leg.

"Let's take a look!" Ron didn't care about etiquette, picked up Nadya, and placed her on a bench next to a streetlight a few steps away. Then he looked at Nadya's calves through the streetlight.

"There's no trace at all." Ron said, "How about I take you to the hospital to have a look?"

Nadya suddenly laughed, her branches trembling with laughter, and she was about to burst into tears.

"Idiot, I lied to you! I have read the story of Anne in Mary King's Alley in a book before."

"You! You guy!" Ron said viciously, "I really want to teach you a lesson!"

"Then what are you going to do with me?" Nadya's smile was as charming as a black swan.

…

"The existence of the U.S. First Army Group puts a lot of pressure on us. I believe that the U.S. military may first launch a containment campaign with more than 100,000 troops somewhere outside Calais, France - I personally think it will be Normandy.

A feint attack to distract us and attract our main forces, especially our armored forces. Then the main force of the First Army will go straight to Calais. Once the enemy successfully lands, they will go straight to Calais.

to seize the port. Due to insufficient troops, the loss of Calais Port is inevitable. Of course we will destroy Calais Port. However, the enemy's engineering capabilities are quite outstanding, and they will soon be able to restore Calais.

The port's handling capacity. Then, more than one million troops from the US First Army Group will board the ship from Dover, quickly disembark in Calais, and then cut our army apart along the ** Highway. In that case,

Head of State, we may encounter a big defeat on the Western Front. In order to avoid this terrible scenario, we must keep these two SS armored divisions in a farther position. In this way, once the enemy really launches

With such an attack, we have a strategic reserve in our hands that can give them a head-on blow.

As for the question of if the enemy uses the troops of the First Army Group in the direction of Normandy because we are on guard in Calais, I think about it this way. There is a lack of deep-water ports near the Normandy beachhead. Heavy equipment, especially armored forces, will be very difficult to use.

It is difficult to land quickly. If the enemy forces invest a large number of troops, their landing efficiency will be very low. We can first allow some enemy troops to land, and wait until their scale is large enough that it cannot be a feint attack, and whether the heavy weapons have been fully boarded.

When the time comes, seize this time window and use the armored force of the strategic reserve on the second line to destroy the light infantry who have boarded with a swift and violent attack. The biggest problem in this plan is that our armored force will be behind the enemy's

Combat capabilities under air strikes. Regarding this, I asked Imperial Marshal Göring, and he assured me that the German Air Force’s desperate sorties can support us at critical times. In addition, the mobilization of armored forces can also be carried out mainly at night.

to avoid the enemy's air superiority. I believe that once we bring such a blow to the United States and Britain, we will not need to worry about the problem on the Western Front for a long time."

The document Hitler was holding was a telegram sent to him by Marshal Rundstedt, the commander-in-chief of the German Western Front. On his desk, there was also a document with completely opposite views. Needless to say, that

The author of this document is Field Marshal Rommel.

But as far as Hitler's own psychology is concerned, he is more inclined to believe in Marshal Rommel. Rommel is different from those aristocratic officers. He will not deceive himself indiscriminately, and will not shout "The Führer is wise" to his face.

He turned his back and said that he was a military blind and only knew how to cause trouble. But what Lundstedt said was not completely unreasonable.

"What did Raeder say about the fort in Calais? Can the Allies' hard attack break the defense of the fort?" Hitler asked. Since the last spy case that tried to sabotage the fort was uncovered, Hitler has been particularly concerned about the fort in Calais.

focus on.

"Führer, Marshal Raeder believes that the Allies can break through the Calais Fort at all costs." An aide replied.

"Bring me a map!" Hitler said. Since the Battle of Moscow, Hitler has become more and more fond of looking at maps by himself.

The aide spread out a large-scale map on Hitler's large desk. Hitler put on his glasses and looked at it carefully.

"Where is this First Army Group of the United States Army stationed?" Hitler asked.

"Führer, according to the intelligence we have now, this is how they are deployed..." the aide replied quickly.

"The enemy's material power is indeed strong. Only by relying on stronger spiritual power can we have the possibility of victory. This is the strength of the Germans. Well... the intelligence work on the US First Army Group needs to be strengthened. I

I remember that in order to prepare for Project Sea Lion, we planted a lot of spies in England. We notified Himmler to formulate a plan to wake them up and let them concentrate on gathering intelligence related to the First Army Group. Well, this plan is called
