Chapter 15 Paradise Lost

Before entering the "Sanctuary", Lin En only saw some young opposite sex in the dormitory management office and restaurant. He did not take it for granted that the ratio of men and women in this secret base was becoming more balanced. However, in the hospital, physical examination, specialized clinic, dressing, and bed division, he became a little dazed. The angels were not all wearing white clothes, there were hundreds of people in total, and 80% were young and beautiful women. As long as they had seen such a grand occasion, who would still feel that the life of the base was monotonous?

Among all kinds of non-severely injured war injuries, Lin Neng's thigh shots and shoulder shrapnel scratches were easier to cure, and hemostatic treatment was performed when he was injured. After a few hours, professional surgical treatment was performed. The wound infection symptoms during the scuba voyage were also effectively controlled. Therefore, the wound healing situation was relatively optimistic in the past five days. Without overall combat missions, the military officer arranged for him to be hospitalized for a week. Lying on the clean and tidy bed and watching the female nurses coming and going, the young and energetic Lin Neng couldn't help but feel a little happy. It was just a little longer, and she became less sensible. Thinking about it, a young woman like Alice knows more about the charm, and I don't know how the mother and daughter and white goatee are now.

Thinking of this, I picked up the medical leave schedule issued by the military doctor, and the time on it was written from May 4 to May 10. With previous recovery experience of arm bruises, 7 days of careful treatment should make me energetic again. Just looking at these simple Arabic numerals, Lynn always felt dazzling, and finally remembered it: In the history of World War II, the German head of state committed suicide in a Berlin bunker on April 30. Nine days later, Germany officially signed an unconditional surrender with the Allies. Three months later, the US military dropped an atomic bomb on ***, followed by ***'s unconditional surrender.

Want to determine whether the main line of history is still developing along the trajectory he knows, Lynn looked around and found a non-commissioned officer who didn't look treacherous and cunning in the nearby bed. After learning about each other's names, birth and military experience, he asked as if nothing had happened: "We held it in the submarine for four days, talking to the same group of people every day... Do you know what news is happening outside recently?"

This non-commissioned officer is not like a middle-aged man in the same dormitory. It would be fine if he doesn't want to disclose it, but he also regards himself as a senior who kindly warns him. He lowered his voice and said: "It's been rumored outside... the head of state has died! I also heard that the commander-in-chief of the Navy has officially succeeded the head of state. The German team will continue to fight against the enemy under his leadership!"

"Is that right?" Lynn pretended to be surprised, then shook his head and whispered: "That's impossible. I saw the head of state and Goebbels boarding the submarine with my own eyes. Now the propaganda minister has arrived, and the head of state must have arrived here safely!"

I reveal secret information to you, and you also reveal confidential information to me. This is like a fair transaction of mutual benefit. As long as you don’t commit the crime and get punished, you are happy to express what you know one by one - this is often the mentality of a person. The non-commissioned officer said in surprise: “Oh? Are you sure?”

Lynn said with certainty: "I saw it with my own eyes!"

The non-commissioned officer with his right arm and shoulder injury thought for a while, leaned over to Lynn's ear and said, "But, Rommel is not dead, he eats in the restaurant every day; Goebbels is not dead, and he is moving openly when he arrives at the base. Why is the head of state..."

This question is exactly what Lin En is now a big doubt. He saw only the stretcher and no one was seen along the way. Is it because the head of state was seriously ill and the officers were intentional, or is it because someone set up a suspicion array, and the real head of state did not leave Berlin at all? What’s hateful is that these mysteries are like fresh fish placed in the window, and he is like a hungry wild cat, who can only covet for no reason through the glass, and imagine that the window was blown open by the wind, opened by someone or broke inexplicably, but he has no ability to open the window and go in.

After a while, the non-commissioned officer took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, a brand new packaging and an unprecedented pattern. Lynn asked: "Is this also the daily ration of the base?"

"Hmm!" The non-commissioned officer gave Lin Neng a generous team, "Soldiers have two packs per week, two and a half packs of non-commissioned officers, and three packs of three packs of officers, and they can also be bought with extra money. By the way, the Empire Mark is still common here, and our salary is still paid according to wartime standards."

"Oh, that's really good!" Lynn replied, thinking that the supply conditions for this "hidden place" were much more abundant than expected. Retreating from the front line was like going to heaven from hell. When you find a young nurse or a restaurant waiter to get married and have children, your homesickness will be cut off most of the time, for fear that this is just a coincidence for the people in power to stabilize the situation. Once all the materials stored in advance are consumed, you will naturally face the risk of mutiny and disbandment.

Although this friendly non-commissioned officer had limited knowledge of external information, he came a few days ago and his understanding of this "sanctuary" still gave Lin Neng a new arrival. He claimed that he heard from a crew member that this "sanctuary" was not far from the extreme north point of the European continent. He found that these natural cave warehouses were a German submarine that intercepted the Allied Arctic routes. It was injured by the enemy's escort ship and entered the fjord in the wind and snow. The heavy diver who was going to go into the water to repair accidentally discovered the entrance to the cave warehouse. At the beginning, the German Navy tried to use these cave warehouses to build a submarine supply station, but the war situation turned sharply and completely cut off the Allied northern routes was no longer helpful to change the situation. Therefore, the imperial senior officials decided to turn this place into the last fortress. The engineers broadened the tunnels between the cave warehouses and the tunnels, and finally they looked like they are today.

Listening to the narrative of his companions, Lin En seemed to see the wind and snow that year, and the injured German submarine was dying in the fjord. The brave submarine repairmen sneaked into the cold sea one after another. When they accidentally discovered the entrance of the cave warehouse, the surprise in their eyes was so profound. After that, a large number of engineers arrived secretly, overcame the initial suffering conditions, and gradually improved the various facilities of the secret base. After a long time, Lin En came back to his senses and sighed: "I am lucky to have this, and I have no regrets in this life!"

The non-commissioned officer was smoking a cigarette and shook his head slightly and said, "It would be fine if he just avoided it for a while. If we were really allowed to stay in this place where we could not see the sun for decades, it would be really bad!"

Lynn asked with a cigarette in his mouth and said, "Do you think we will stay here for the rest of our lives?"

The non-commissioned officer narrowed his eyes and thought: "Maybe, maybe not, this is hard to say! Even if we can gather 100,000 most elite soldiers, build 1,000 new fighter jets, build hundreds of high-speed submarines and successfully return to Germany, we will not be able to defeat the huge ground troops of the Soviet army. What's more... we lack all the resources we need here, and it would be great to maintain self-sufficiency for a long time!"

"Yes! Even if we have resources, we do not have enough space and equipment to carry out large-scale military production. With only a few cutting-edge weapons, we are still not enough to deal with powerful enemies on the east and west sides!" Lynn's analysis actually deliberately avoided an insurmountable fact - nuclear deterrence. The United States will soon create nuclear weapons, and the Soviets will follow closely. At that time, even if the German genius scientists can develop cutting-edge weapons that are almost science fiction, it will still be impossible to match it. Moreover, the longer the time, the weaker the awareness of support of the people in the hometown will be. When there is no hope of restoring the country, the "sanctuary" will become a simple paradise!

"I really don't know what they thought about it!" The non-commissioned officer sighed, and he smoked the cigarette. He turned to comfort himself and said, "Forget it, don't think so much. Since Marshal Rommel is willing to abandon his reputation and come here, there must be exquisite plans. Let's wait patiently!"

These words reminded Lynn, who is Rommel? How could he hold it here without seeing a way out? Laurenz Bach has both talent and ambition, and bears his father's revenge. How could he be willing to hide for the rest of his life?

As we chatted like this, the light outside the room gradually dimmed - artificial lighting can certainly imitate the natural environment, but it can never replace the sun. When Lynn talked about this, the non-commissioned officer smiled. He said that when he captured the French Maginot Line in 40 years, they found some interesting things, one of which was the infrared illumination room. The French considered that the defenders were underground for a long time and not being able to sunlight would affect their physical functions, so they thought of using infrared rays to replace the sun for "artificial sunbathing", which is said to be quite popular among French soldiers. Such illumination rooms are also in "sanctuaries". Under normal circumstances, each person can go there 1-2 times a week.

After hearing this, Lin Neng was speechless. It seemed that the senior management had fully considered the needs of all parties and had a mentality of fighting a protracted war. They didn't know what eye-catching moves they had in scientific and technological research and development and military production. First of all, in terms of people, they should bring the top experts and the best technicians. But it seems that when Germany was defeated and surrendered, many weapon experts, such as Braun, the father of rockets, and Heisenberg, were plundered by the Allies or the Soviet army when Germany was defeated and surrendered. It is said that the Soviet nuclear weapons research and development benefited a lot from German experts, and there were also German experts in the space rocket competition between the United States and the Soviet Union. Could it be that the implementation of the "Aryan Ark Plan" could not keep up with the deterioration of the situation, so many experts did not have time to transport it, or they failed to finally make a move out of their personal wishes?

Thanks to the hospital's sufficient medical staff, soldiers like Lin En who are recuperating from injuries do not need to go to the restaurant to have a meal themselves, but young female nurses deliver the "nutritional meal" to the hospital bed. Lin En's thinking of being used to fighting on the battlefield in one day is really overwhelmed by the idea of ​​fighting on the battlefield. He clumsyly thanked the nurse who brought him dinner and asked her about the situation. It is said that the "sanctuary" was again in the afternoon.

A group of newcomers came, mostly submarine crew members, and some handsome guys in black uniforms. After hearing this description, Lynn guessed that it might be a submarine departing from Germany on the same day, carrying tank soldiers and armored vehicles. With these elites, the leopard tanks and armored combat vehicles in the weapon warehouse would not be a decoration. Of course, the premise is that there is sufficient fuel. You must know that the reason why the German army lost the war was that fuel was definitely a fatal key!
