Crack...

After a flash of lightning that broke through the dark night, thunder that resounded through the sky came. The strong wind swayed the windows with force, and the wet air seemed to be able to squeeze out water directly. Lynn drilled out of the quilt without any nostalgia and walked barefoot to the windows. The power of nature is always so awesome. In contrast, the power of human beings was once extremely small, but the development of technology not only allowed this race to stand at the top of the earth's food chain, but also allowed them to gain terrible destructive power that was comparable to nature step by step. From gunpowder to nuclear energy, human beings finally stepped on the stairs of killing each other from each other to the stairs of destruction. It can be said that they were experiencing the crisis of their own with pride.

Close the window, and the swaying curtains drooped down obediently. The clock ticked, and the huge raindrops hit the window glass in a mess. Lin En felt light sleepy. He turned to the study, pulled open the chair, twisted the table lamp, and opened the drawer. A beautifully printed envelope was quietly lying there. Half a piece of card paper the size of a letter paper was pulled out from the dismantling mouth. The mighty and domineering "Emperor Eagle" at the top of the card paper lost its circle of footholds and returned to the "Weimar Eagle" with its four toes spread. Most of the middle of the card was specially customized printed words, and the spaces left were vigorous words written in blue and black ink.

Dear Mr. Hugo Horst:

You have shown your absolute loyalty and love for Germany in a just way. Given your extraordinary talent in politics and diplomacy, we are honored to invite you to join the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the German National Provisional Government and serve as the second-class political secretary of the German Agency in the Netherlands. If you accept the appointment, please report to the Berlin Office of the German Foreign Ministry within 15 days of receiving the notice. I hope you will work smoothly in your new position. If you cannot take up your post due to special circumstances, please submit a written explanation to us as soon as possible.

Sincerely

Cabinet Personnel Committee of the German National Provisional Government

March 29, 1947

Hugo Horst is Lynn's new identity to return to Germany. His personal archives were incomplete due to the devastating destruction of the government agencies and church facilities in the place of birth in the war. The official information can only be traced back to his entry into the Department of Philosophy at Humboldt University. Then he caught up with the end of the war when he graduated. He never served in the German team or official institutions, but worked in the Red Cross. The problem of incomplete archives is not special in such a country that was almost completely destroyed by the war. He had previously held the German Red Cross.

Lynn's activities in the Allied-occupied areas were basically unhindered, and no one was maliciously questioning his philosophical knowledge. Of course, the diplomatic department is not an unofficial organization like the Red Cross, and its position in the government framework is still quite important. Of course, second-class political secretary can only be regarded as an inconspicuous small role in the embassy. It is roughly equivalent to a non-commissioned officer in the army. If he has the opportunity to transfer to the consulate in the future, he will be able to be able to have a little weight there.

Judging from personal abilities and experiences, Lynn has a relationship with the diplomatic department that is completely inseparable. Unless one day he becomes a strong man in the military, he is engaged in political and diplomacy from a military perspective. If he is just to conceal his identity, the position of Red Cross staff will be very good. The current background is that Von Baben and Schacht have been supported by the allies to form the German Provisional Government. Before that, the Hitler regime has ruled the country for 12 years, and almost all governments at the central and local levels have been controlled by the Nazis. After the war, these officials fled a large number of them, arrested and detained by the Allies, and some were pardoned by compromise and cooperation with the Allies. But the individual is

Notoriously, rebuilding the government under such circumstances means that a large number of new people who have no connection with the Third Reich regime army will become a new force in the political circle. And during this period when Lynn devoted himself to Operation Nuremberg, the hands of the senior Imperial leaders had quietly reached into the German Provisional Government led by von Baben and Schacht. In addition to those "popular faces" who had held prominent positions in the Third Reich or had a high appearance, many originally unknown imperial personnel were placed in various departments. Such a big deal was naturally appointed by the Head of State, and the Imperial Intelligence Leader Andri must have played a crucial role in it, and it also has a resounding name - "skeleton implantation".

In Lynn's view, the so-called bone implantation was nothing more than a strategy of resurrecting the corpse. To gain a legitimate position in the post-war military and political circles, his original idea was to find a position in local government departments in states such as Bavaria, Hesse or Wurttemb, or to enter the German team nominally led by Marshal Von Weix. Lynn could not measure how far apart a second-class secretary of an embassy abroad was from the real skeleton of the country, but as far as he knew, this was already a higher position obtained by the imperial infiltration personnel. From this perspective alone, the possibility that Von Baben and Schacht were still under the control of the empire or tended to support the restoration of the empire was slim. Perhaps they did not know the existence of the head of state and the imperial organization after the war.

Professional soldiers galloping on the battlefield and small diplomats who are not in the right place, and where to go, it seems to be clear at a glance. Perhaps considering the difference between the two, the Imperial Base Camp gave a little extravagant sentence in the order issued by the order - "You can make full use of the convenience of diplomatic immunity."

Is diplomatic immunity?

A weak country has no diplomacy. Lynn's famous saying summed up by the past pioneers in recent months fully proves this. Even if a defeated country that surrenders unconditionally can rise rapidly after the war with amazing perseverance, at least in those years when it was just defeated, its citizens must endure heavy mental pressure and live a difficult life in an unprecedentedly difficult material environment, and this sorrow will not receive universal sympathy and compassion from the outside world at all.

The rain outside the window was getting heavier and heavier, and the sound of the rain seemed to cover up all the noise in the mortal world, and the room seemed particularly quiet. Lin Neng closed his eyes and pondered that when the general trend of history had not changed, he was able to foresee the "future" with decades of vision. Now the history is beyond recognition, and this foresight is only the people who have the ability to change history and the development trend of technology. The direct arrangement of the Imperial Base Camp, whether to go or not go, is no longer the choice, but to treat this second-class political secretary as a pure identity cover and "bleaching", wear the clothes of a diplomat, or use this opportunity to take a path to earn legal political capital?

The night was gradually fading under the storm. It was dawn and the birds were singing outside the window. With a faint sense of fatigue, Lynn leaned over to wash in front of the pool. This was Frankfurt, Germany, an industrial city that was almost razed by the Allies during the war. The efforts of hundreds of thousands of residents in the past two years have gradually restored its urban framework, and the prosperity of the past can be seen in several major streets. It only takes a few hours to get here by train from Munich, and it is easy to reach people like Lynn. The task force escorted Rosenberg to leave Nuremberg after

After more than two months of trekking and firing a shot near the Derei border, the "spiritual leader" of the Kuomintang decided to use this place as his first base for awakening the people. Lynn had no objection. The heads of the Imperial Base Camp did not seem to be very interested in the return of this tricky figure. Sperer, who successfully arrived in Nordic Europe, was appointed as the vice chairman of the German Revival Committee and was fully responsible for industrial and economic affairs. He heard that he was already working to integrate the large number that Lynn and his men had established in Tromso and Narvik by various means.

Small factory. There is no doubt that the only one who escaped from Nuremberg Prison was Gorene, and Kettle's team was unexpected. According to the report of the surviving task force, most people, including Gorene, were forced to pursue the Allies and mistakenly entered the swamp. The once glorious imperial officials were killed in the real disaster. Only more than 50 task forces responsible for protection escaped by chance. Every time I think of this, Lynn can't help but associate it with the letter of appointment in the drawer. The head of state, Goebbels, and Rommel, the actual masters of the empires.

The powerful may not really want to see Gorene and others return to the decision-making level, but they were unable to order the killing of these former colleagues out of their respective considerations and concerns. As a result, they neither punished the commander-in-chief of Operation Nuremberg, nor classified the operation as a "huge success". As a reward, Lynn received a flashy imperial medal, and the temporary military position of the special lieutenant general remained unchanged. The original official rank of "Lu Bing Lieutenant" was promoted to "Lu Bing Major", so it was not so difficult to accept "committed to" as a second-class secretary.

Dong...dongdong...dongdong...dongdong...dongdong...

Someone knocked on the door at an agreed rhythm. Lynn walked out of the bathroom in the suite while wiping his face and glanced at the clock in the hall. It was nearly an hour before the normal breakfast time. He wanted to change into sports attire and move around in the yard. At this time...

"Who?"

"Sir, it's me." Tanze said outside the door, "A guest came to you early in the morning and he was waiting in the restaurant."

Lynn walked over and opened the door: "Who came so early?"

"Dervich." Tanze replied calmly.

"Oh, come on! Help me change my clothes, we will try to get it done within five minutes." Lin Neng took Tanze back to the bedroom and chose a casual suit with a gray-bottomed brown plaid, which was paired with a small leaf collar shirt and a tan bow tie. In the dressing mirror, the two tall and handsome young men have different temperaments. Tanze's repeated tempering in adversity is obviously not as deep as Lin Neng, but he looks more youthful and has 100% concentration in every small detail. Lin Neng is like the state of mind that this outfit wants to express - calmness and rigor, and arrogant and not arrogant.

Soon, Lynn came to the empty restaurant in the hotel. A young man of his age was sitting alone in a dark blue jacket with a velvet texture, with his big horse boots showing his unruly personality.

"It's so early, my friend!"

Lynn walked over steadily to shake hands with the other party. He noticed that the location chosen by Delvich was more than 20 meters away from the service desk. Without other guests, the waiter would not walk around the dining table at will. As long as he kept his voice restrained, the conversation here was still very safe.

"I heard that you have the good habit of getting up early, so I'll bring you the freshest news at this point." Delvich replied calmly.

After leaving the southern Bavaria area where Serot was in charge of intelligence, he soon joined the line with this new "local snake". Delvich was originally named Orgus. Before the end of the war, he was a low-level SS officer. He had never done any major career, nor did he follow the large army to stay on the front line or flee to the south. Instead, he found a reliable friend in Thuringia to help him fake his new identity and live there for several months. The 24-year-old boy had a simple and old-fashioned face, looked dull and weak, and with his innate safety appearance. In the autumn of 1945, Delvich, who changed his identity, gathered a group of comrades who also avoided the pursuit of the Allies, and came from Thuringia to Frankfurt. In the eyes of the Allies

He started to trade black markets under his skin, and then traded with some Allied officers and soldiers. Smart people easily made a lot of money in reselling, but Delvich did not squeeze their poor savings from the German residents, but instead asked the rich to sell stolen goods and go to Belgium and traded in France. After a while, he established his own relationship network in western Germany. Not to mention information, the whole vehicle of goods could travel to and from the Allied occupied areas. After being approached by the imperial intelligence officers who returned to Germany and made a lot of money, Delvich transformed into the intelligence officer in western Germany. His comrades who made money by operating the black market and their contact points were also transformed into a highly efficient intelligence network.

A hero comes from troubled times. Lynn never judges people by his appearance, not to mention that his age is very close to Delvich. He sat down opposite the young talent who is actively seeking the position of local councillor. He asked curiously: "Is it a big news or a big bad news?"

"Great news!" Delvich said with a smile, "The inside information I just obtained, a fleet of the US Navy was wiped out on the Atlantic Ocean. They thought it was done by the Soviets, which was not the most shocking. They said that this fleet was transporting atomic bombs from the United States to Europe, and now it all sank into the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. The Americans, British, French and Soviets were all rushing to send ships to catch the atomic bombs!"

"Oh? Is this happening?" Lynn's surprise was not a pretentious one. Since leaving the Nordic base and coming to Germany to command the Nuremberg operation, the strategic decisions of the senior officials of the empire and various high-secret information have basically been insulated from him. The intelligence department headed by Andri consciously revealed some of them, and the official instructions of the base camp mentioned some. Can this get the gods?

Delvich was a very powerful rising star in the post-war German country, but he was not Cao Cao after all. He had the courage and ambition to swallow mountains and rivers. For Lynn, a senior official from the Imperial Base Camp, his behavior was quite profitable and flattering: "Well! These were heard from the US officials. These guys were also tired of fighting in Europe and wanted the government to negotiate with the Soviet Union as soon as possible. If the atomic bomb fell into the hands of the Soviets, unless the White House continued to fight at the risk of a devastating blow to the local city, the war should be over!"

"Yes, we have expected this situation and called it a 'nuclear confrontation'. In fact... we have mastered nuclear technology." For the sleek and sophisticated comrades, Lin Neng doesn't mind occasionally making a mystery.

"Ahhh! I knew those rumors were true." Delvich smiled.

"We have the strength to make a comeback, but the international environment is still very unfavorable to us. Once we show up, the Western allies and the Soviet Union are likely to end the battle and turn to deal with us in unison." Lynn threw out the introduction before, and then pretended to be careless and asked: "You have obtained some information about this from the General Intelligence Department, right?"

"What are you referring to?" Delvich asked sly.

Tanze brought Lynn's breakfast directly from the help desk. After sipping warm fresh milk, Lynn said: "Of course it's that American fleet. Do you really think the Soviet Navy has that strength?"

Delvich shrugged: "They seized many unfinished submarines in Tanze and Steding. Later, the Western allies handed over a batch to them in accordance with the secret agreement of the Potsdam Conference. Among them are new submarines that did not have time to enter the battle back then. The strength of their submarine troops should have been greatly improved!"

Lynn picked up the knife and fork, and chose to start with the fried egg without thinking, and said while cutting: "Hard equipment is only part of the strength. The technical and tactical level of officers and soldiers is insufficient, coupled with the lack of a long history and excellent traditions, these crucial factors restrict them from becoming first-class naval combat troops - perhaps they can reach this level in decades, but now it is basically impossible."

"It makes sense!" Delvich sipped the coffee warmly, staring at the plate in front of Lynn, and still did not answer the question just now.

Lynn continued to indirectly: "We have always wanted to speed up our manufacturing of this super weapon by seizing American atomic bomb materials to bridge the gap between the resources and industrial base we have, but you also know that it is very difficult to do this."

"Yes." Delvich replied, "I heard that the United States had secretly deployed atomic bombs at military bases in France and Denmark. Once the Soviet Union broke through the Polish and German defense lines, they would use this super weapon to stop the Soviet army's rapid advancement - one can kill an army, but at the same time, tens of thousands of local residents must be buried with them. Not to mention outsiders, even ordinary Americans can never get close to these military bases. There are tight lines of guarding defense, stationed with proven combat troops and heavy tanks... But then again, the Nuremberg Prison can break through. Our combat elites should have the ability to raid the US base and grab the atomic bomb, right?"

Lynn smiled and shook his head. The reason why the contingent was able to succeed in Nuremberg Prison was mainly due to surprise and the insurgency of ambushing in key positions. These factors were difficult to achieve in the raid on US military bases. The empire's current intelligence power in Denmark and France was not enough to support the transfer of goods after the raid. Moreover, they were all German neighbors. Once the operation was incorrect, the atomic bomb exploded, and Germany could not escape the damage. More importantly, the heavy losses suffered by France and Denmark would lay a terrible bomb among the people of these two countries. Once the truth was revealed, they would not only hate the United States, but also hate the mastermind behind such a tragedy. During the implementation of the imperial revival plan, it is likely that the international public outrage caused by Germany's invasion of the neutral country Belgium in 1914 was a profound lesson!

After thinking about it, Lin Neng finally put away this overly profound and macro analysis. He said, "By the way, I have good news to share with you - on this wonderful morning, I decided to accept a new challenge, follow the delegation instructions of the Imperial Base Camp, and play a very challenging role in the diplomatic institutions dispatched by the German Provisional Government abroad."

"Ambassador or agent to the outside world?" Delvich asked for his own sake.

Lynn smiled and replied: "No, second-class political secretary."
