Chapter 27 Home. Ideal
"Sir, I have contacted you with Lieutenant Colonel Darmstet. He is very open-minded and a veteran officer with a more traditional heart. He is very reliable, but he is a little......"
Seeing Major Heda want to speak but stop, Lynn gave him a relaxed smile. He had heard about the deeds of the "German Defense Force" naval commander before, and from the bottom of his heart he admired such an old officer. In contrast, some old-fashioned ideas are insignificant.
"Well, I understand, please arrange your itinerary. I will visit him in Bremen." [..com]
"I'm afraid I'll have to wait until the ID is obtained next week before I can go out for a walk. Besides, the League team seems to have been mobilized on a large scale in recent days." Major Heda shrugged. His figure is 70 to 80% similar to Goebbels, but his square face is completely different from the former Imperial Propaganda Minister.
When he first returned to the local area, Lynn's grasp of the environment was not as good as Heda, who had been sticking to the local area since the end of the war. There should be many people like Germany who have firm beliefs, all of whom are indispensable hopes and cornerstones for the revival of the empire.
Out of respect for the resistance and to show that he had no intention of taking over the main situation, Lynn made tea for Heda with his own hands. The two sat on the dull sofa and savored tea while talking.
"What's the news in Huangrenburg?"
"There are a few mixed news," Heda replied. "The Allies may reopen next month. The evidence, testimony and the attitude of the Allies' senior officials are against our people. It can be determined that hanging is the highest punishment for this trial. The trial location remains unchanged and is still in the Nuremberg Court. It is estimated that the location of their detention will not be temporarily changed. The Nuremberg resistance organization has conducted many reconnaissances on the prison. The Allied guards are very alert, but our people have tried every means to draw the defense map and should be sent to Hamburg soon."
Lynn nodded. At the end of World War II, the collapse of the ruling system and the breakdown of the intelligence network made the strategic decision makers of the empire who had retreated from Nordic Europe fall into a dilemma of "blindness" in order to protect the few remaining intelligence officers and intelligence stations, the head of state personally ordered the local intelligence system to go dormant, so that the base camp could only understand the local situation through media reports from allies and neutral countries for a long time. It was not until the war broke out in the Eastern and Western camps that the senior officials of the empire judged the situation again.
The intelligence system was activated. However, their strategic vision was not as clear as turning on satellite surveillance. The darkness shrouded on the map was like endless clouds, and only a small part of the area was revealed. In this case, the senior officials of the empire sent intelligence officers to Bavaria to find and "awaken" the lurking personnel there, and on the other hand, they entrust underground resisters like Heda to contact other areas with their own methods to resist forces organized by former officials or civilians.
In contrast, the latter is faster and more direct in terms of results.
"If you have the chance, please convey your respect to them for me." Although I did not see with my own eyes, my past experiences could have completely allowed Lynn to experience the difficulties and dangers of working behind enemy lines.
Heda nodded and accepted.
Immediately afterwards, Lynn asked, "Martyr Von Weix..."
Heda took two sips of tea on his own as if he had not heard it, and then sighed after putting down the tea cup, "This devout Catholic believes that our actions are pushing Germany from the brink of destruction to the abyss of destruction. He is willing to do all his strength to help the German people, but he will not listen to any topics related to the old imperial government, and say another word."
"Is this what the marshal said in person?" Lynn was very surprised.
Heda replied: "No, he did not give us the opportunity to communicate in person, all the contacts were conducted indirectly through his private doctor. We have some knowledge of that private doctor very well, that was an upright, honest, pure Germanic man who should not lie."
Feng.
Although Weix was the German Marshal, there were always great differences between him and the Supreme Commander, especially the Head of State himself. He began to experience the ups and downs of understanding, activation and dismissal from 1943. He was a pure military general and had never been involved in political events. This should be the key factor in the appointment of the Allies as the commander of the German Defense Army. Although he could accept this in his heart, Lynn was somewhat disappointed. He clapped his legs and said, "Forget it, most of the German troops formed by the Allies are not under the jurisdiction of the Defense Army. Instead of spending hard work on these senior generals with unclear attitudes, it is better to mobilize middle and lower-level officers with more national spirit. What do you think?"
Lynn repeatedly used the honorific "you", and Heda's response was very positive: "It is better to walk on two legs than one leg. Sir. I always believe that there are still many generals in the German team who love the country, nation and head of state. The key is to let them see hope for success, rather than let their soldiers make fearless sacrifices. You are also a soldier and should be able to understand their concerns.
It is such a simple and easy-to-understand sentence that made Lynn look at Heda with admiration and also gave him a deeper understanding of the will and wisdom of the underground resisters.
"Sir, ask a risky question... Can you save the guys who are locked in Nuremberg prisons save Germany?"
This question is indeed very presumptuous, but it was also what Lynn expected. From the standpoint of ordinary Germans, the minds in the prison used to only know how to act as a mighty person and enjoy luxury. Goering is a typical representative, and he made positive contributions to the rise of the Third Reich and won a series of glorious victories, which made the enemy scared, and Denitz was also a typical representative. From the standpoint of the high-level imperial leadership, the separation of views was quite meaningful. Rommel naturally would not welcome the two "mediocre people" Keitel and Yodel
"When fighting for command with himself, Goebbels should have mostly resisted Hess and Goeringdu, and the attitude of the head of state was the most subtle. People's performance before and after the truce was enough to see their true thoughts, which could be trusted, and which should be abandoned or even severely punished. He should have had a long time to think about it. However, no one had conveyed these writings in the command of the action, nor did he convey to Lynn publicly or privately. Everything needed to be figured out by the commander himself.
"It is predictable that we have to pay a considerable price for this adventure. If it is to save those who are of no benefit or even harmful to Germany, I will not agree!" Lynn replied to Heda's question with a general and broad answer.
"I feel at ease when I hear you say this." Heda said tentatively, "We will do our best, for Germany and for the Head of State!"
The head of state is also a sensitive and sharp topic. The head of state's command can be understood as Adolf Hitler's last wish or an order issued by him in person. There is a fundamental difference between the two on the life and death of the head of state. For Heda, for other German resisters, the imperial intelligence departments used the word "head of state" when contacting. However, the detailed status of the head of state and the "sanctuary" base must be strictly confidential. Even if the intelligence personnel indirectly indicate that the head of state is still on earth without revealing the secret, the resisters need further proof to be fully convinced.
Lynn must also abide by the rules of the game. He raised the volume of the verse: "It is right, everything is for Germany, everything is for us who are proud of, and absolutely loyal to the head of state. Let us do our best!"
Two days after the conversation with Heda, another important figure who had previously worked for the German Intelligence Agency was known as the "French Blue Fox".
Brunsch contacted Lynn in a unique way—he sent a reliable deputy Albert.
A person's nickname often contains direct information. As the name suggests, this cunning "Blue Fox" has a great connection with France. In fact, this powerful figure with dual nationalities of France and Germany began to engage in spy work in France as early as 1935. When the war broke out, it had already sneaked into the logistics department of the French Army. Before the Battle of the Western Front, it provided Germany with important military intelligence. After Germany defeated France, the "Blue Fox" did not return to the German team, but followed the French government to retreat to the south and continued to serve in the "Vichi Government" army's army's movements and the intelligence of the French local fleet that the German team had always coveted. Unfortunately, the German army's forced capture of the French fleet was too hasty and reckless, and in the end it was unable to occupy the French fleet with great strength. And with the end of the war, Kurt.
Brunsch also disappeared from the perspective of the imperial intelligence department. From Albert, Lynn learned that after France was restored, many senior officials and generals of the Vichy government were tried as traitors or thrown away their black hats. The soldiers under the Vichy government were inevitably affected. Fortunately, the "Blue Fox" had smart communication skills. He not only retained his military post, but also got along well in the reconstruction of the French team, not only the military ranks.
He was promoted and cultivated good connections in the army, helping several colleagues lurking in the Vichy government of the former German Intelligence Agency bleached their identities, and even "stuck" two of them into the army combat forces. This time, the imperial senior officials restarted their intelligence network in Germany, indirectly contacted the legendary super spy, and he also brought Albert an astonishing news: the troops where the "Grey Eagle" is about to go to Nuremberg to garrison!
Two days later, the underground resistance organization led by Heda made a copy of the allied-occupied area ID forged by new operators to Germany. Lynn's new identity is a fundraising staff of the German Red Cross. This identity can not only be verified by the German Red Cross, but also has ideal universality and flexibility under the Allied occupation. Since Stalin's assassination returned, Lynn has not had to take on a fake identity for half a year.
After memorizing the charter declaration of the German Red Cross, reviewing medical and health knowledge and basic first aid skills, Lynn was able to walk out of the room and walk on German land eroded by sunshine or rain. Of course, the premise is that it is not exposed by the informant, but Lynn was at the end of the war.
Galgo's popularity in Germany is very small.
It was another cold and rainy day. Lynn, dressed in civilian clothes, walked into the German Defense Force Navy Command in Bremen with his head held high.
Before the collapse of the Third Reich, Lynn had never been to the German Navy Command in Kiel, but the naval institutions of the two ports of Konisberg and Stettin were more imposing than this command. In terms of appearance, it looked more like an ordinary school. A black, red and yellow three-color flag with no pattern hung on the flagpole opposite the foyer. It should have directly applied the model of the German flag of the Weimar Republic era and removed the eagle emblem. It was stubbornly swaying in the wind and rain, as if telling people something.
In a simple, fire-free office, Lynn met Lieutenant Colonel Darmstet, the commander-in-chief of this small German defense fleet, an old navy who has worked in obscurity for decades in ordinary positions, and a destiny of extraordinary figures.
Although Lin En came as a fundraiser of the Red Cross this time, the underground resistance organization had already disclosed some information to the Navy Lieutenant Colonel during the early contact. Therefore, the Navy Lieutenant Colonel gave a traditional military salute to Lin En and started with a respectful saying "Honor of Honor".
Language and expression often show a person's state of mind. Lynn saw a simple creed in this old and spiritual naval colonel, but he was, after all, a senior commander of the German Defense Forces recognized by the Allies. It is not completely impossible to have some kind of compromise with the Allies in private. Therefore, the conversation was still mainly tempted at the beginning.
Listening to Lynn's talk about the bulk food transported from overseas last winter, Lieutenant Colonel Darmste browed and stood up and said, "That's what you did... Just for this matter, I should thank you solemnly. If there were no such food, hundreds of thousands of German residents would have been unable to survive the winter last year! What a tragic scene that would be? I really can't imagine it!"
Lin En quickly stood up: "Everyone can do his best to the common belief!"
Lieutenant Colonel Darmste nodded and sighed: "If every capable person can contribute selflessly, there is no need to worry so much about the future. By the way, Mr. Horst, can you still raise food in the near future? Although farmland in Germany is normally collected this year, the League ** team forcibly collected a lot of food. Some areas in the eastern region are facing a food shortage, and this situation will worsen next spring."
Among all kinds of strategic materials, food is almost the cheapest, but it is precisely because of the war in the East and West camps that food prices in Europe and America have risen sharply. The empire's projects in continental Europe, Scandinavia and America are still in the investment stage. The rapid consumption of secret reserve funds has made it impossible for the top leaders to earn hundreds of thousands of tons of food this winter as they did a year ago. Moreover, if the situation continues like this, major projects will face the dilemma of shortage of funds in less than a year. This is also a major factor that the head of state clearly arranged the time for revival.
"Because of the war, the situation this year is indeed a bit special. We are trying our best to do our best! But... you also know that this is not a long-term solution after all." Lynn said, "In fact, we are here to shoulder a special and important mission this time. As you understand, we hope to see Germany get out of the predicament and achieve revival, but this is not something that can be achieved by a small number of people. Everything you do here not only proves your loyalty to Germany, but also a manifestation of great wisdom."
"Oh." The lieutenant colonel lit the cigarette in a hurry, "I'll be spared if you compliment me. Tell me about your mission!"
"A country, a nation, a head of state." Lynn replied, "this is our mission."
The cigarette that had just taken a sip of the smoke stayed between his fingers for a long time, and the deep voice of vicissitudes slowly said: "In the past half century, Germany has experienced two nearly dreamy eras. They each reached unprecedented heights and were only one step away from great victory. Regrets remain in my heart, but those have finally become past tense. Young man, I don't know where you come from, nor how powerful the power behind you is. I think everyone should do what they can and do what they should do. For public, I strive to preserve the spark of the German navy, so that the glorious traditions and excellent qualities can be continued. For private, I will do my best to help my compatriots, save them from the suffering of hunger and cold, rather than let them fall back into darkness again."
The words were tactful enough, with Feng.
Marshal Weix had roughly the same meaning. Looking at the face in front of him, Lynn didn't feel that he had compromised with the Allies in order to obtain this position. As a witness and personal experience of the two world wars, he had enough pain and despair, and there was indeed reason to be cautious and even resist such adventures.
After thinking for a long time, Lynn replied calmly: "I can understand all that you said. If our efforts were indeed an unrealistic luxury a year and a half ago, but now it has reached a reality step by step. We muster up the courage to wait for the last try. I hope that when you see this possibility is close, you can make the right choice from the standpoint of a German."
As long as you have a vision, you should realize that the meaning behind this is not simple. Lieutenant Colonel Darmste drew his last few puffs of cigarettes and put the cigarette butts that could hardly be held in the ashtray made of canned boxes. The tables and chairs in this office are of this simple and practical form without exception. However, the battle flag, eagle emblem and other objects related to the Third Reich are not allowed to be used. Except for the old photos related to soldiers and warships in the homemade photo frames, this place is more like an ordinary family's study.
"I have no choice but to do anything related to helping civilians and rebuilding their homes. As for combat, killing, destruction and destruction, it seems that my age is not very suitable!"
Not as humorous as it was, Lynn smiled slightly: "The ultimate dream of all of us is to rebuild our homes, that's enough!"
