Chapter 41 The Feast

Since it is a formal banquet, of course you have to wear formal dresses. The reason why the Third Reich of Germany was talked about by future generations is that in addition to its powerful war machine across the continent, people are also a charming factor. In my impression, whether the senior generals, combat aces or ordinary soldiers have extremely set off their temperament. It doesn’t matter whether this entire series of uniforms, dresses, and combat uniforms are really from the hands of the great dictator who once served as a declining painter. What’s important is that it aroused the extremely strong sense of personal honor of German soldiers, indirectly enhanced the combat effectiveness of the entire army, and thus became the most classic military uniform system in military history.

From the German Wehrmacht, the armed SS to the Imperial Guards, the uniforms of all armies have turned to lighter colors that are more suitable for the northern climate, but the basic style and accessories standards are only slightly adjusted. Wearing the military dress of the Lu Bingwei, Lin Enzai looked carefully in the mirror for a while, perhaps because of the heart. This face with European outline looks a bit similar to her true self. Her neatly combed short hair retained a black color from the beginning, and her slender figure, wide arms, and strong muscles constituted the dream physique. She wore a gold German medal on her chest, slightly tilted, and a smirk on her mouth, which had reached the perfection in her mind.

There is no absolute perfection in the world, which is the reason Lynn is looking for for having no dance companion. He set out alone, walked alone, walked through clean and tidy passages, and waited for a moment on a small platform not far from the office building of the strategic command center, and took a tram that is environmentally friendly and pollution-free. Over the past month, the construction of the base has been underway every day, with new tracks, new trams, new buildings, and new monuments, memorials, heated swimming pools, and sports venues. With the enrichment of various facilities, this place is becoming more and more like a city, not just a refuge to temporarily avoid enemy hunts.

After two stops, Lynn got out of the car after two other officers with female companions, showed their respective documents and invitations to the guards on duty, and was allowed to enter the "Aryan Garden". In Lynn's concept, this is a name full of urban pastoral style. Although this cave library is a little small, it only has four opposite villas and a shared green space inside it, so the space seems quite spacious. Lynn had never been here before, but was entering.

I heard about it after joining the Strategic Staff Department - this was a high-end residence for the heads of the empire. From No. 1 to No. 4, belonged to the head of state, Air Force Commander, SS leader and Propaganda Minister. Since the two in the middle were not very gloriously approached because of their contact with the Allies, the position of Propaganda Minister Goebbels naturally moved to No. 2. The polite refusal of the base commander Marshal Rommel made the equally luxurious residences No. 3 and No. 4 still have vacant positions.

Standing outside the high wall and looking inside, these courtyards that tend to be modern style are nothing more than larger areas, more fake rockery trees, and better decorations. However, after entering the door, I found that the upper class is far from as simple as I imagined. The number of branches and leaves has natural shapes and lusters. The flowers in the flower beds are both budding and blooming. The square lawn is more uniform like a carpet. The stones that build fountain pools and lay the ground are by no means imitation of cement.

Since getting off the bus, Lin Neng has always felt that the light here is different from other places. When he saw these plants that were like a flip, he looked up curiously and was surprised. It turned out that there were two light sources that provided light on the top of the cave library. One was a crystal chandelier similar to the location of the Empire Base Camp. The one next to it was also dazzling, but it was not an independent light emitter, but a spherical body composed of mirrors of many angles and sizes. It was probably using the same continuous refractive principle as the periscope to reflect natural light from the outside through this spherical mirror body. Of course, with such reflection alone, the light intensity was obviously insufficient, so the crystal chandelier was also turned on at the same time. The two lights were mixed together to form a unique visual environment here.

Optical equipment represented by Schott and Zeiss was originally a highlight of the German industrial system. However, such exquisite designs still surprised the best. So much effort was spent on lighting, the investment of manpower, material resources and energy was too luxurious compared to the troubled situation in Germany at the end of the war. After natural light, heating was maintained at the appropriate temperature, and corresponding fertilizer was applied, it was not surprising that the plants in the courtyard survived. But Lynn soon thought that the days and nights in the Arctic Circle are long now, and the sun is very sufficient. When autumn and winter, the days are short and the nights are long and even the extreme nights are entered, how should these delicate plants be maintained?

Obviously, these questions should be left to the imperial garden engineers, rather than military advisers like Lynn. More than half an hour before the banquet began, Goebbels' yard had gathered thirty or forty guests. The officers were wearing straight military dresses without exception, and the ladies were not affected by their escape status. They were all wearing elegant and luxurious long skirts, dazzling and dazzling decorative pieces, with light and thick powder makeup, and rich hair styles, as if there were also professional beauty and hair salon institutions in this "sanctuary".

Most of the ladies who had already arrived were very good for Lynn, and it was useless to see more flowers from the Lord. Seeing that before everyone entered the hall in the main building, he found a relatively secluded corner in the yard, asked for a glass of beer to moisten his throat, and picked two pieces of barbecue to fill his stomach. He always felt that such a high-end banquet was far away from his life. After a while, a pair of acquaintances appeared - the 45th winner of the Double Sword Oak Leaf Knight Cross Medal, the German Army's most

Young general Erich Barnfinger and his gentle and elegant wife. Although he was not sure about the political stance of the instructor (maybe he had no political stance at all), Lynn felt that as a powerful figure who made good use of psychological tactics, Goebbels would not miss this opportunity to show power and status. The generals and officials in the base must have been invited. However, before seeing the situation clearly, at least roughly seeing the situation, it is not a good idea to blindly talk to others.

After another ten minutes, more and more guests arrived at "Aryan Garden No. 2". As Lynn expected, except for a few people wearing casual clothes, the male guests were all soldiers, and most of them were all generals and above. She might be the only lieutenant, except for the service officer. Ava and Futerridge also came. Her short hair and agile figure, and her dress was a different style. She wandered between the guests skillfully, and talked with the men and ladies calmly and gracefully, sometimes laughing happily and sometimes charmingly, fully demonstrating the social skills that a strong woman should have. What made Lynn curious was that she did not seem to have brought her dance partner.

As Mingli stood in Goebbels' camp - at least Lynn thought so, Laurenz Bach also arrived before the banquet, and was still the general uniform that could not fully highlight his temperament. She was holding a woman who was not tall or even petite in her arms. She had golden hair and a hairstyle similar to Hepburn (At this time, Hepburn was still an unknown little girl, just to describe her hairstyle). Her face was as petite, pretty, beautiful, and a bright smile had an angel charm to a young man like Lynn. Seeing her snuggling tightly beside Bach, her posture of a happy little woman who was favored and protected, at this moment, Lynn's envy of Bach reached its peak...

Finally, before the real protagonist of this banquet appeared, the base commander-in-chief Erwin Rommel stepped into Goebbels' courtyard. He seemed to always have such a tough and hard posture. Although his face was full of scars, he no longer looked like the ambition middle-aged man in the photo, but his temperament condensed through ups and downs on the battlefield would not change. The lady he was intimately holding should be his wife Lucy Morin, who had never stepped onto the battlefield but was generally believed to have affected the course of the war. It is said that Rommel gave up his outstanding deputy General Gauss only because Lucy and Gauss's wife were disagreeing with him. It is said that Rommel left his post before the Allied forces launched the Normandy landing to celebrate Lucy's birthday. It is said that no matter how busy the war was, Rommel always kept writing letters to his wife, sometimes one or two letters a day.

History leaves people with endless speculations. Lin En stares at the couple in distress. No matter what happened in the past, the expressions that appear on their faces and the occasional look of looking at each other, their love for each other is greater than everything.

A few seconds before six o'clock, Goebbels walked out of the inner hall with his wife and six children. The 8-year-old Hagrid was dressed up as a noble little princess. She was filled with a happy and shy smile. Maybe she never thought that more than a month ago, in the bunker in the center of Berlin, there was a little girl with an age similar to her appearance, falling like a flower on a broken branch, which gave her life that continued to bloom brilliantly.

Thinking of this, Lynn's mood was a little dim. He looked around and saw that all the well-known figures in the "Sanctuary" base should have arrived. Only Adolf, the head of empire who liked Hager very much. Hitler was the most regrettable absentee. Although Goebbels, Bach and Motchig all said that the head of state withdrew from Berlin and arrived here, Lynn not only had no real appearance, but even had never looked at his figure. Whenever he thought of it, he always felt an indescribable strange feeling in his heart, and he didn't know when this thick fog would truly dissipate.

Goebbels was arrogant and looked down at the hundreds of guests gathered in his garden, especially when he saw the Rommels, an unpredictable smile flashed across his face. Standing on the entire stone steps, he whispered:

"Everyone, on such a wonderful day today, thank you for coming to Hagrid's birthday party - in fact, she was so happy that she didn't fall asleep all night yesterday. She said she was 8 years old and was an adult, and had the ability to make some contributions to this country, such as having children."

Having said this, the audience was filled with laughter, and Goebbels laughed, but it was not to please everyone. Using this as the basis for warming up the scene, he began a high-pitched speech:

"Reproduction, the most primitive instinct of human beings, we often talk about, but rarely think about its true meaning. Reproduction is not a simple combination of men and women, production. It determines the direction of human development, whether to move towards civilization in purification, or to move towards barbarism in hybridization, the rise of some nations and the decline of others have revealed to us the mystery of nature. Today, we can proudly say that Germanic is a race that continues to develop and continues to become stronger in purification, our history

Countless heroes have been born, and the same outstanding figures are standing here. There is no doubt that we shoulder the heavy responsibility of maintaining this superiority. Although for various reasons, we have not been able to win the most critical battle of survival in German history, as long as we follow the guidance of the head of the head, we will eventually receive natural rewards, wisdom and civilization beyond any other race, and ultimately achieve a comprehensive victory in a more critical war."

Lynn did not take it seriously after hearing this. Even if the pure Germans were able to reproduce, they would not help the revival of the empire. They would not let the old children go to war! Because of this, if the last essence of the empire was buried in this barren land lacking resources and relying solely on geothermal power generation, the greatest possibility would be to be left farther and farther by advanced countries. But Goebbels did not realize this, but instead regarded this birthday party as a stage for personal show. He talked about the advancement, power and sacredness of the Aryan race in the past. The Nordic race was undoubtedly the purest continuation of this ancient race. Such words were full of fanaticism and unrealistic expectations, and it was like being possessed by Himmler. Finally, he announced in a strong tone:

"In order to achieve the continuation of pure bloodline, the Head of State personally ordered a group of the best young men from our elite guards to carry out a sacred and clean combination with the excellent Germanic young women we carefully selected. We have every reason to expect such a combination to inherit the wisdom, strength, keenness and perseverance of the Aryans beyond other races, and to the birth of an unprecedentedly powerful army, and to the final victory of the Holy War of Germany. Long live Adolf Hitler! Long live the German Empire!"

Amid the loud echoes of the crowd, Lin En opened his mouth "justified" and danced his arms, but the expression on his face was a little indifferent. Is this really an order issued by the head of state himself?

After this grand and high-profile opening, the banquet entered the real theme. The first dance, Hagrid was the protagonist. She walked straight to Marshal Rommel and reluctantly invited the legendary figure who left scars in the Allied air raid to dance. Rommel happily accepted, one tall and one short, one old and one young, one heavy steps and one young posture. Under the attention of everyone, they danced with light music, which was graceful, but at least the beat and melody were still very accurate, and the straight military uniform and the white princess dress were always perfect matches. At the end of the dance music, the pair of dancers, who were far away, received warm applause from the audience.
