Memories began with the war, and Lynn's butt was only worn by the "butcher" boots. Looking back on those ignorant and difficult days, the originally familiar faces and figures have gradually become unfamiliar.

After sitting on the dune at the landing place for less than two minutes, a group of American soldiers wearing m1 helmets, holding m1 rifles, and wearing m43 combat uniforms rushed over with great momentum, pointing the black hole muzzle at the two young uninvited guests without saying a word, and then searched them one by one by one by a burly big man. Except for the clothes themselves, they were basically searched without leaving any trace, and then pushed them and dragged them to the side of the wire fence. Perhaps to vent Qingmeng's disturbance.

Angry, these American soldiers kicked the two men viciously on the way. Lynn was one size bigger than Hughes, so he got a little more boots. Hughes, a civilian, had never seen such a scene. He was so scared that his face turned pale and his limbs were trembling. His experience on the Eastern Front had already made Lynn fully realize that as a prisoner of war on either Soviet or German, his fate was extremely bleak, but the US military treated prisoners of war more kindly. Under the intentional propaganda of the United States, at least the general view from the outside world was so.

After the hot air balloon was shot down, the extremely exposed searchlight quickly went out, leaving only the lighting lights outside the base on. The group of American soldiers brought these two young men in their early twenties into the heavily guarded wall like ducks. At this time, there seemed to be another team of American soldiers driving motorcycles and small cars to search for the wreckage of the hot air balloon. Unlike Hughes' fear, although Lin Neng was a little nervous and nervous, he was more excited - the excitement of exploring the truth and the secret realm.

From the outside, the base is like a village built in a desert area. Most of the buildings inside are no different from ordinary houses. They are built with high-walled wire mesh to resist the attacks of wind, sand and bandits. These are obviously just to cover up. After entering the door, the soldiers pressed Lynn and Xiao Hughes into the underground passage from the entrance next to them, iron gates, concrete walls and chandeliers equipped with transparent covers. Everything demonstrates the careful setting of this facility. Not far along the passage, Lynn and Xiao Hughes were taken into a small room less than ten square meters, but it was not to calm their terrible emotions. The pale walls, pale lights, and cold-faced soldiers were guarded face to face. Lynn intended to act panic and helpless, and he knew that he would face the interrogation of the base guards next.

A moment later, a US military officer with a stubborn stray walked into the room. He deliberately made his eyes look fierce, but in Lynn's eyes, this guy was somewhat similar to Winster in "Brothers", so he looked cold-faced and kind-hearted, and he didn't look like the fierce and perverted interrogator.

"Name, identity, origin." The officer said three words coldly, and then lit a cigarette for himself.

Lin En deliberately lowered his head, and occasionally raised him, he never tried to guess the other party's military rank, but deliberately made the other party think that he was extremely frightened. At the same time, he slouched and stammered:

"Reporting to the Chief... My name is Carter Home, recommended by the National University of La Plata, Argentina... to... the exchange scholar at the University of California, mainly engaged in... uh, molecular physics, come and find... Dr. Robert Oppenheimer... Professor Oppenheimer."

"Robert Oppenheimer?" The officer seemed to know the name. He stood there and stared at Lynn, seeing a haggard, panicked and very annoyed young face.

Half a minute later, another officer pushed the door open and placed the documents, documents and items that the soldiers searched from Lynn and the others on the table directly under the chandelier.

After picking up the passport issued by the Argentine government and the recommendation letter from Plata State University for a moment, the American official who seemed to Winster glanced at Linn: "Argentine? If you are not at the University of California, you are a good exchange scholar. What are you doing here? Which country did your ancestors immigrate?"

The other questions were all good, but Lynn was worried at the end. He was silent and replied: "Before coming to the United States, my supervisor at La Plata National University, Dr. Hargusch, please ask Dr. Oppenheimer for an unsolved problem in molecular physics. He believed that only a few people in the world, such as Dr. Oppenheimer, could answer them. After arriving at the University of California, I was told that Dr. Oppenheimer would not return to school in the short term, but my supervisor Dr. Hargusch was seriously ill. I hope to solve the problems that have been bothering him for the past few years before he passed away, so I came here."

"Is that?" The officer looked at Lynn suspiciously, but he was not like Pamarot, a civilian like Hughes who was easy to fool. He thought about Lynn's answer with his hands behind his back, and then he asked, "I think you are not a native of Argentina!"

Of course not, Lynn thought, such a typical European face could not be hidden, so he had to lower his head and whisper: "Germany."

"Germany? Ha!" The officer's voice immediately raised the volume, as excited as if he had discovered a new world, but he certainly did not expect Lynn's backup.

"Like Dr. Oppenheimer, my father is also a German Jew. It is just because of this reason, no matter how hard we try, we are still discriminated against by the people around us. We are the humble, pitiful, and cowardly people in the world." Lynn said in an extremely bleak tone, as if he really belonged to the ultimate tragic nation. Looking at history, it is not the German family who persecuted and killed Jews. Because they are regarded as the murderer of the murderer, as if they were evil devils and pagans, since the Greek and Roman period more than a thousand years ago, the Jews were suppressed and even massacred by the rulers. 438 AD

The additional provisions against Jews were even stipulated in the Roman Theorsi Code, which came into effect in 2018. In the Middle Ages, the hatred of Jews by European countries increased. French rulers expelled Jews in the territory four times. In the Holy Roman Empire, just because red spots were found in the holy bread used by the believers to sacrifice, the believers destroyed more than a hundred Jewish dioceses and 100,000 Jews were brutally killed. In modern times, Tsarist Russia's persecution of Jews was sensational, causing thousands of Jews to flee from Eastern Europe to North America and Western Europe. It is estimated that the total number of Jews massacred in the past two thousand years reached more than 20 million.

Regardless of whether the officer knew Oppenheimer's origin, his emotions were obviously influenced by Lynn's words. With his smug attitude just now, he flipped through other objects on the table, including the travel album, several physical materials and notes, as well as the train ticket stubs and US dollars that Lynn deliberately left behind.

"Who told you that you can find Dr. Oppenheimer here?"

This question is very good to answer, Lynn whispered: "As the pride of the University of California, many people know that he is employed by the government to do scientific research in the desert area of ​​New Mexico. If you want to ask more specific people, I'm sorry, I don't want kind-hearted people to be involved."

From the perspective of words and logic, this is a carefully designed answer. The so-called law does not punish the masses, and officers will not go to the University of California to arrest people on a large scale because of this. Moreover, Lynn deliberately did not mention the word "secret" and pretended to understand it as a normal scientific research activity.

"Then how did you come from California? Where did you get the hot air balloons that we explicitly prohibit? Why use hot air balloons?"

The train tickets have already shown the time and method of coming to New Mexico. As for the hot air balloon, Lynn explained the whole process straightforwardly, and thought he could confess to Hughes. At the end, he said humbly: "Sorry, sir, in order to find Dr. Oppenheimer as soon as possible, I chose an irrational way to violate your ban. I hope you will put Mr. Hughes who came with me after you investigate the facts. He was only employed by me. His simple employment relationship is definitely not a complicity in this matter."

Lynn's attitude was so strong that the American official was not ready to be arrogant. He said in a gentle tone: "We will judge whether it is a complicity. If all you say is factual, there should not be much trouble, but if you lie to us, you can think about the consequences now!"

Such intimidation was completely ineffective for Lynn. He nodded with his eyes down and said, "If possible, I still hope to meet Dr. Oppenheimer for only a problem in molecular physics. If I can solve the problem, or if Dr. Oppenheimer writes a letter to my supervisor, I would be willing to do so even if I have to stay in prison for ten years."

After such a conversation, the American official obviously regarded the young man who was taller than him, with a strong body and callous hands and feet as a weak scholar. He turned around and signaled the officer to take away all the things on the table, and then said to the guards: "Let him rest here! As long as there is no special situation, I will talk about everything when I come back."

"Yes!" The guard with a pistol on his waist replied in an attentive position. When the two officers left, he followed him out of the room and closed the iron door regardless of lightness or weight.

Hearing the sound of the key turning, Lynn finally let out a sigh of relief. As he expected, although the Americans had been involved in the war for three and a half years, the threats and even attacks were minimal. German intelligence operations were stupid and incompetent in their eyes. Although the spies made great contributions to the attack on Pearl Harbor in the early stages of the war, after that, anyone with an Eastern side received special attention and surveillance, and it was difficult to make any difference. Based on these situations, the US side's vigilance has indeed been reduced a little, at least not as bad as the Gestapos in Germany.

There were only two chairs and one table in the small room used for interrogation. There was no way, so Lin En had to put them together by himself and barely put them together into a table. After staying up for a long time, he was physically and mentally exhausted. It was time to take a good rest and accumulate energy.
