Returning to the cold Nordic Europe from warm North America, wearing a standard German short-brimmed military cap, a long military jacket, a foot apart, a straight waist and spine, a slightly raised chin, in this cool and cool posture, Lynn stood at the dock of the submarine cave, watching the iron gate on the hidden waterway slowly rise with a calm and proud look. Since the "Defection", the only waterway has been equipped with a double iron gate. The main gate located in the base headquarters must be opened so that the boat can enter and exit from here.

As the iron gate opened, the sea breeze poured in with a strong chill. Standing on the dock, I felt that the surrounding temperature had dropped significantly. Although it was only early October, according to the weather station's report, the Norwegian waters had already been strong and the nearshore temperature dropped to around zero degrees. According to previous experience, this weather basically announced the arrival of the polar winter, and it also means that the "sanctuary" base will be shrouded under the snow for a long half year and will not be easily disturbed by outsiders.

In a moment, a large submarine with darkness all signs was driven into the waterway. Once it passed through the low cave, the personnel on the boat couldn't wait to raise a German naval flag, which fluttered in the wind, demonstrating the unyielding spirit of rebellion against the cold.

After reading the most core database of the base, Lynn had a much more detailed understanding of such an xxi-class submarine than historical data. As the last and best-class large submarine of the Third Reich, its underwater navigation ability and silent effect exceeded any previous submarine. It is no exaggeration to say that if this submarine was launched two years ago, even at the construction speed in 1945, the Allies' Atlantic route would have been challenged unprecedentedly.

Today, the sharp sword temporarily lost the opportunity to break the blade. Although the nine submarines of the same level that retreated to the base with the Aryan Ark Program remained armed, most of them were used to carry out transportation missions. Whether it was returning to the local area to attack the Allied Summit or going to North America to implement the "Ark of the Covenant Program", almost all personnel and equipment were transported by these submarines. When most other models of submarines were left in the base cave warehouse waiting for the call of duty, they became well-deserved model workers.

The submarine was not ordinary cargo, but the second batch of spoils brought back from the distant ocean. Top physics experts, experienced physics researchers, highly confidential nuclear weapons information, and elite commandos led by Major Braz. Therefore, in addition to busy receiving the submarine's docking, there were also a whole team of land soldiers on the dock, military police wearing "dog signs" and several armored vehicles that were at any time. A small train carrying passenger cars was also waiting next to the dock.

Once the submarine landed, the sound of commands and speeches on the boat came one after another. In a moment, Major Braz drilled out from the hatch in the front of the submarine tower cabin. Although he had sorted out his clothes as much as possible, the submarine was not a laundry room after all, and was equipped with professional facilities such as washing machines, dryers and irons, so it still looked dusty.

According to the military rank, the "special brigade general" is equivalent to the brigade general of the Lu Bing. After parting the day before yesterday, Lin En has now become the "supervisor", but he still waited for Braz to come ashore with a smile. After saluting each other, he shook hands in their unique way.

"Major! I'm so glad you guys were able to catch up with my wedding!"

Braz smiled and said, "Ahha, I heard General Bach say before he came. What's this called? Good things are in pairs! Look, I've entered the ranks of generals in a blink of an eye! It's really enviable!"

"I'm just an idea. The real battle depends on everyone's battle!"

Speaking of this, Lynn and Braz's joy just now were restrained. Although this was an unprecedentedly successful raid, seven commandos were sacrificed before and after, and more than ten other people were injured to varying degrees. If we trace further, the 50 imperial soldiers who went to Potsdam to raid the Allied Summit were almost wiped out, including more than 20 "Vampire" commandos.

Whether it is worth it or not can only be left to future generations to judge.

With the help of the crew, Dr. Frank and six other technicians walked across the deck with curious eyes, instead of being blackened like Lynn did. It was not because of the negligence of the base guard, but because the relative closure of the "sanctuary" is much greater than that of Los Amos. Even if you are familiar with the internal structure, it is difficult to escape. Moreover, the top leaders of the base also intended to let these pretentious experts take a good look at this miraculous hidden base.

"General Bach also asked me to hand over this to you, and I wish you a happy wedding!"

Brazz took out an envelope from his pocket. In the Western tradition, this naturally would not be a gift. The commandos who returned to the base with the submarine happened to get ashore, and the gendarmes' attention was on the experts. Lynn quickly tore open the envelope. Two sheets of paper were stacked inside, one with a souvenir to wish the newlyweds happiness, and the other was an unknown short poem.

That day

God arranged for us to meet

Remember the grand dream under the stars

That day

Death brings grief

But remember the sincere wishes before going on the journey

That day

You've returned from purgatory

I stand in the wind with the battle flag

We're scars all over our body

Our heart is like a rock

Black crow peeks in the treetops

The lonely wolf bared his teeth in the bush

All the hardships

Endless ups and downs

We're still fighting

No regrets

One day

We'll rise again

Let our flags be in the sun

Indulge in love

Between the lines, the past is reflected quickly in front of Lin En's eyes, with the pride of growth and the heroic spirit of victory, but more of it is the helplessness, loneliness and sorrow in the process of retreating, the grief for the fallen companions, and the hope written for the future in the heavy and declining.

"One day, we will rise again and regain the power to walk in the sun!"

Lynnmur said.

On October 9, 1945, the only church in the "Sanctuary" base rang the bell.

The head of state stood in the upper hand and announced the union of a new couple in his deep and old voice.

During the heyday of the German Empire, he also presided over a wedding for his confidants. In the foothills of the Alps, on the warm spring beach of Rügen Island, under the sky of the ancient church in Berlin...

This is the 469th young couple to get married in the "sanctuary" base. Among them, the majority of the marriages between military and non-military women account for, and more than half of the newlywed wives have successfully become pregnant.

In this atmosphere of happiness, joy and celebration, the lifeblood of the empire is quietly continuing.

The base cave library is a natural shelter, and the bad weather does not affect the internal life at all. Under the dazzling lights, champagne and wine lack only green grass, and laughter and only sunshine. All of this seems to confirm an ancient oriental saying: Nine out of ten beautiful things.

At Lynn's special request, not only Major Braz, who had just returned from North America and the commandos attended the wedding, but Oppenheimer, Frank and Fermi, who were escorted to the base one after another, were also invited to attend.

All those who should come have come, but Laurents Bach is missing.

On the same day that Lynn became a special brigade general and the chief strategic staff officer of the base camp, the head of state formally issued a transfer order to him, and his new position was the chief of intelligence in North America. Although the empire was preparing to invest a lot of manpower and material resources in North America to build a crucial intelligence network, such a position could not be compared with the chief of staff of the Strategic Staff.

It seems that rewards and punishments are clear, but Lin En feels speechlessly sad. Even if a person cannot be great and can be as fair and selfless as Bach, he has reached a very noble state.

After Bach was transferred, the position of Chief of Staff of the Strategic Staff was also held by Marshal Rommel, and the two major staffs in the base were almost merged.

As for the "Vampire" commando, it still exists hiddenly as a direct unit of the base camp and directly obeys the command of the head of the empire.

Standing in the center of praise, blessings and applause, Lynn inevitably felt like a dream. Just a few days ago, he didn't even know where his relationship was. Just a few days later, honor, status, marriage, and the great empire had helped him take care of everything. Despite this, he still tried his best to maintain himself and keep a clear mind. Although the existence of the head of state made everything smooth and beautiful, the competition for power and power struggle behind the appearance have not been eliminated, and history has also proved with vivid facts that internal struggles are often more bloody and cruel than foreign wars!

"Thank you, my head of state! Thank you, the noble head of state!"

Lynn thanked Adolf Hitler and his formal and legal wife Eva Braun with gratitude. Although the two were 23 years apart, standing together gave people a feeling of father and daughter, they eventually broke through the worldly constraints and got together. When they looked at each other, the look touched Linn was unprecedented.

A truly great person should have love in his heart.

The once arrogant dictator, the heartless man who showed his arrogance, excitement and stubborn image, has woken up from the collapse of the empire and his illness. When he woke up from the collapse of the empire, his mentality and tone had changed greatly. He held Lynn's hand and said calmly, calmly and even kindly: "Young man, the future of the empire is in your hands. Despair or rise will be your cause."

This was unprecedented encouragement, but when he turned around, Lin En saw the longing for the future in the vast eyes of the white-haired old man. After all, he was the most ambitious person of this era. How could he let go of power so easily?

Lynn is determined to be a capable and unambitious subordinate, at least so.

In such an internal public occasion, Rommel still attended such a celebration with his beloved wife. This time, the gift he gave to Lynn was almost exactly the same as the words of the head of state, but the same words were spoken from different people, but the meaning was completely different.

Now when the head of state appears, Goebbels has re-played the role of a shadow follower. He always silently keeps the most appropriate distance and never says a word. However, his beautiful little angels are eye-catching and bright colors everywhere. This time, he acted as a wedding flower boy, and added a lot of joy to the scene.
