Chapter 11 The Empire Temple

After the preliminary inspection, several guards guarding the steel gate opened the last carriage carrying firearms and ammunition and the connecting valve of the front carriage. The Wehrmacht officers and Major Zieger, who were standing at the back of the front car, watched all this calmly, which was probably the request of their superiors. After that, the train that unloaded the third carriage and restarted, and led the German officers and soldiers who had just arrived and entered another cave. Although there was not a bright incandescent lamp like the dock, the guard post located at a high place could sweep back and forth with searchlights to patrol the cave. The general situation of the cave was still visible: the place here seemed to be the residence of a giant, covering only six or seven football fields, and the top of the cave was twenty meters high. Since the dock was above sea level, the cave was shown.

However, it is located at the bottom of the mountain. With the words revealed by Ziegenke before, Lynn guessed that the German army had expanded and repaired accordingly after discovering these spaces. It is hard to imagine that there would be such an amazing underground world in the cold north. What is even more surprising is that dozens of brand new Leopard tanks and hundreds of different models of armored vehicles were parked in the flat cave warehouse, as well as a large number of equally shiny anti-tank guns, howitzers, infantry guns and piles of weapons and ammunition boxes - because they were parked relatively loosely, the weapons and equipment seemed to be a lot, but if they were reduced to the space between them, it would only be enough to fill one corner of the cave warehouse. If they were parked in layers, how amazing the storage in the cave warehouse would be!

Following the railroad tracks through the equipment warehouse, the train drove through the second porch-like entrance. The light around it quickly weakened, and in the end, only the headlights at the front of the locomotive were still on. It is called Night Warriors, and Lin Neng's eyes do not have any special night vision ability, so he can only follow the place where the headlights shine. The scale of the cave seems to be smaller than the front. There are many seats on the left side of the railway track, which looks like the viewing platform of the squadron. Although there is no one at this time, the Third Reich flags and flag guns with red background and white circles on the left and right are filled with red background and white circles, making people imagine the grand occasion when it was put into use. On the right side of the railway track is a large open and flat open space. If it is lined up in a compact manner, at least tens of thousands of officers and soldiers and some tanks can be stood. Will this be the total number of soldiers planned to be placed in the Aryan Ark?

Lynn was thinking that the train had already entered the third entrance. It took seven or eight kilometers from the pier to get here. If you were hiking, it would take at least an hour and a half!

Thanks to Watt, Stephenson, and even more to those who built these rails and transported the locomotives and trains here. Thinking of this, Lynn was full of surprise at this huge project. I heard Ziggenke say that this place was discovered two years ago, which means that in just two years, the docks, tracks, electrical lines and other projects will be completed - this does not include what he has not seen yet. With the shortage of troops on the front line and the severe lack of domestic productivity, where did the Germans get so much labor?

It was like entering the subway tunnel, and the train began to move forward gently in a deep, long and winding passage. When it reached a narrow place, people in the car could almost touch the top. There was a chandelier every ten meters here, and most of them were on. Judging from the exquisite configuration of these facilities, it seemed that it was not as competent as ordinary prisoners of war. Could it be that the German army retained a large number of troops in Norway until the middle and late stages of the war, for the construction of this secret facility? However, this idea of ​​preparing for the future and reserved a way out is too inconsistent with Adolf Hitler's character!

Ten minutes later, the train drove out of the tunnel and finally stopped next to a platform similar to a large subway station. Everything here was still located in a cave without sunlight, relying on a large number of incandescent lamps for lighting. The platform was comparable to the Frederick station in Berlin, but there were no multiple tracks in parallel. After the car stopped, Zieger and the Wehrmacht officer got off the train first. Under their gaze, the SS and Navy submarine troops were again lined up next to the train. According to the officer's request, Motchger and Weister each counted the number of soldiers, and after confirming that, they walked forward without any weapons and equipment.

After leaving the platform, the team passed through a spacious passage that was enough for two trucks to run in parallel, and then at a three-way intersection, it chose the rightmost one and walked forward for about two hundred meters. The temperature and humidity in the air began to increase rapidly. In front of a normal double-open partition, the Wehrmacht officer next to Ziegenke stopped and turned to everyone and said, "Soldiers, this will bring you the first benefit you will enter the 'sanctuary': a hot bath! Wash it happily, wash yourself clean, cut your hair short, shave your beard, and then change into clean new clothes! Don't worry about time, there is unlimited supply of hot water here!"

Hearing the officer's words, the soldiers were all ready to beat the wound, and the wounded people were worried about whether their wounds could touch the water. At this time, Lin En left his concerns behind and was full of doubts: the unlimited supply of hot water means that there are geothermal resources such as hot springs? There is both underground space and underground heat source. No wonder it is a wonderful place to hide, but are the elites of the Third Reich ready to hide here for a lifetime?

After the door opened, warm water vapor came to his face, and the sound of the water was clearly audible. Towels, soaps, hot pools, showers, and except for the beauty who was not serving to take a bath, everything that could be enjoyed by taking a bath can be enjoyed here. Unfortunately, with the reminder of his subordinates, Lin En finally realized that he was still in the recovery stage, so he had to follow Tanze and other wounded personnel to go to the nearby logistics hospital for alternative cleaning. Here, full-time medical soldiers used medicine to help them clean the wounds and change the cotton gauze - two places not far apart, the shouts came from different meanings.

More than an hour later, the soldiers gathered in the passage with red eyes. Although Lynn washed his hair, cut his hair, and put on a brand new SS uniform, he could not take a hot bath simply by wiping his body. So he cursed the Russian who shot him in anger, and said to Goebbels in his heart: These two shots are blocked by your little one. If there are any benefits in the future, you must not forget us!

After everyone was all here, Ziggenke led his team back to the previous three-way crossing. The Wehrmacht officers actually waited there patiently and led them through the middle. After walking, it was a huge steel heavy door. Here, every soldier must undergo strict inspection by the guards, and a pistol, a dagger, or even a bullet must not be brought in. After all the reviews were correct, the guard picked up the phone and reported to the control office that was probably located on the other side of the gate.

After the other party checked, the heavy door slowly rose from bottom to top. Before seeing the scene behind the door, the light under the door caused the visual environment to change, and there was even a faint warm current inside, which aroused the curiosity of the soldiers. Finally, when the door was completely opened, Lin En, who was at the end of the team, quietly moved half of his body to the side. In front of him, there was a bright spot, and there seemed to be a row of neat buildings opposite the entrance of the cave. Follow the team and walk forward soon

Hearing the stuttering sounds from the front row of soldiers, when he walked to the entrance of the cave, Lin En felt the illusion of being in a giant honeycomb: the cave library is larger than any of the submarine wharf, weapon and equipment library and military field I saw before. The stone wall opposite is thirty or forty meters high from the ground to the top. Those "buildings" did not rise up suddenly, but were "intacted" on the stone wall. These square rooms make full use of the overall space of the vertical wall, and the upper row and

The next row alternately staggers, and from a distance they look like hexagonal honeycombs. Here, the light source that provides bright light is not the entrance to the outside world, but a headlight located directly above the cave library. To be precise, it is an oversized crystal chandelier composed of many small lamps, crystals and mirrors. Looking up at this chandelier that is even more dazzling than the sun's light, Lynn was stunned: The Germans were determined to create such a complex lamp, why not spend more time on arms production?

There is much more than that. Seeing that the soldiers in front were looking to the left, he turned his head with the flow. A huge temple-like building almost broke his mind. Beloved, they actually rebuilt an "Empire Temple" here according to the frontal outline of the Imperial Prime Minister's Office. The twenty-meter-high circular door posts were like pillars of Greek temples. They each lowered a huge 10,000-character flag. On the top of the porch, there was a huge eagle stone sculpture. Its sharp eyes looked down at the front, and each of the stone steps under the porch was fifty or sixty meters wide. These elements combined together to form a stunning scene that looked like a dream!

Lynn is not a tourist standing in front of the pyramid with infinite emotion. After a moment of distracting, Wolfrum, who was following behind, whispered to remind him to "attention". Following the team along the straight corridor dug out of the stone wall, they circled counterclockwise in this huge cave library. The other two walls in the cave library have also been drilled in correspondingly, but most of them have not yet been constructed, so they look more like real insect nests. Hundreds of people wearing gray uniforms are constructing them, scaffolding, cranes and carts, which are very similar to ordinary construction sites. Could it be that these few hundred engineers used these ordinary equipment to build these "hive nests" and "Empire Temple"?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

The team entered the bottom of the "Honey Hive". Several female soldiers wearing uniforms and short skirts immediately took out documents and forms to register for the soldiers. After leaving the cruel battlefield, they experienced a long and boring voyage. In addition, the hot bath just now stretched out their muscles and bones. Although the young men in the team did not whistle randomly like American soldiers, they could not help but wink at each other and smirk. Seeing this, Captain Motcheg standing in front of the team was nothing, Major Ziggenke had a stern face. If these soldiers were not directly under his command, they would have jumped up and cursed.

Register information and arrange accommodation. This process is like enrolling a freshman in college. But Lin En had no intention of revisiting it and had no time to pay attention to whether these young female soldiers were handsome. His eyes and thinking have always been stuck outside the clear floor-to-ceiling window. The "Empire Temple" stands not far away. This is by no means an illusion or a virtual scene on the canvas, but a real grand building - thinking about Albert Speer, who completed the construction of the German Imperial Prime Minister's Office in one year with 4,500 workers. It was known as a miracle in the German architectural world at that time. I don't know if such a jaw-dropping building still comes from the famous imperial architect. Just under the huge chandelier, a monument at least thirty meters high is under construction. Judging from the materials accumulated around, the engineers only use concrete, steel bars and sand as raw materials. Is this the simple answer to the complex question?
