Chapter 38

Lynn has not thought that "Lynn Galgo" and "Hugo Horst" will one day become an opposition between the two. In this special historical and space, they are just external roles, and identities that reflect their own abilities and values. If they can choose freely, they will tend to be emotionally and to the latter rationally, and will also be struggling in contradictions - even if they are incognito, change their faces, and go far away, how can a person completely draw a clear line with his past self?

Since several powerful generals of the Imperial team expressed heavy condolences for Lynn Galgo's departure, and also expressed congratulations and support for Hugo Horst in charge of the German Baath Party, Lynn knew that this transformation was irreversible. In of Andri's proper placement of "Galgo's widow orphan".

After Qiang Yong's political strategy was guaranteed, he silently accepted the reality, and Rommel then put forward several "suggestions" on the role of the leader of the German Baath Party from an objective standpoint. Lynn felt that these arrangements were in line with the status quo, and many places coincided with their own ideas, so he gave a positive answer on the spot.

Leaving Rommel's room and walking through the command office area, Lynn once again faced the curious eyes of many officers, but he did not stop to speak to the old acquaintances here, but walked by with a calm and almost indifferent expression. The moment he walked out of the command center, he suddenly realized that he had lost the qualification to wear an imperial uniform, and the loss and regret that came from this far exceeded the dusty honor and put aside the various troubles caused by friendship.

While walking along the road hesitantly, Lin Neng suddenly saw a familiar figure coming towards him. When he looked closely, it was Erich von Manstein. Wasn't this military genius and his elite Empire's First Expeditionary Regiment stationed in the distant Upper Rhine Valley?

Then he thought that the Soviet and German sides had temporarily ceased fire, and Lynn's questions were eliminated by himself, and Manstein also stopped at this moment.

"Oh, General Galgo!" He stretched out his right hand straight out.

Lynn hesitated for a moment

Qiang bravely politically, and reached out and responded in helpless tone: "Unfortunately, General Lynn Galgo has sacrificed his life for the country in the battle. Below is Hugo Horst, the new leader of the German Baath Party. I am very happy to see you, dear Marshal!"

As a senior general at the level of the Legion Commander, Manstein naturally knew a little about the reason. He nodded awkwardly: "General Galgo is a role model for soldiers, and it is a pity to lose such a comrade! Dear Master Horst, ~~-Updated starter~~ We hit it off at first sight, hoping to establish a solid and stable friendship!"

Lynnjoy smiled bitterly: "I am deeply honored to be recognized by the marshal."

The two met unexpectedly in this environment, and they had important things to deal with each other, just point out their attitude. Manstein continued to walk into the command center. Lynn left by mistake and took a few steps. Manstein turned around and said, "By the way, you have a question, I have always wanted to ask... How did you do it before?"

Lynn stood with his back and thought about it. What Manstein asked about was about the defensive issues in the Upper Rhine Valley. When handing over command, the ambitious Manstein only asked Lynn for basic information such as defense deployment, terrain conditions, etc., but did not ask him about his defense experience. At that time, Lynn did not say much to avoid being suspected of showing off and provoking. I guess after that, the fierce offensive of the Soviet army caused Manstein and his 1st Expeditionary Corps to suffer a lot. Maybe there was a dangerous situation that crossed the defense line was on the verge of collapse in the middle, so he was curious about Lynn's previous attack with only a small amount of troops to resist the Soviet army's fierce attacks.

Although he is no longer the mighty general, Lin En still answers: "For the first time, the enemy underestimates the enemy and advances rashly; for the second time, our side makes careful arrangements; for the third time, it depends on will and luck."

Manstein thought for a moment: "I understand, thank you!"

The change in role made Lynn unwilling to study military tactics. He left without saying a word. What appeared ahead of him was a path that he was not very good at but led to the same end.

Just one day later, Lynn came to Bremen's radio center in a specially customized blue-gray military suit. This was his first radio speech. The first time he could let the people of the whole country hear their voices. This was a goal that many people dreamed of but could not achieve. Lynn stood calmly in front of the microphone. When the recording began, he said in his German language in his tone that was still special: "The German people, this is Hugo Horst of the German Baath Party, who is speaking to you. It is very regrettable. Our party leader, the brave German fighter, His Excellency Stupfer, has been proven to be killed in the previous stage of the battle. After the Supreme Committee of the Baath Party, I will be the new leader of the German Baath Party. The heavy responsibility is on my shoulders, and I feel pressure, but there is no fear at all. Just like you

As we know, hear, see, the German Baath Party survived the cruelest battle, and what we did was nothing else. It was the survival, freedom and dignity of all Germans! The smoke of gunpowder dissipated, and the battle was not over. The fate of Germany was at a special turning point. The ideal goal we pursue was not far away. The key is whether we chose the right direction. The decision of this choice will be decided by you and will be determined by your courage. As the leader of the German Baath Party, I call on everyone of Germans to take on the courage to follow your inner voice to participate in this referendum. If you are threatened, if you cannot reflect this situation to international observers, at least give up the vote, rather than betray the soul for a little food..."

During the speech that lasted for nearly half an hour, Lynn maintained a coherent flow, with almost few false syllables, but this was obviously only the minimum requirement for radio speech. He could not achieve the passion of the head of state, nor could he show similar appeal to Stupfer. Instead, he completed his first combat declaration as the leader of the German Baath Party in a simple and sincere manner. Then, the officers in charge of propaganda and technology listened to the recording. Although they were not very satisfied, after soliciting Lynn's opinions, they decided to broadcast it in the original sound. When thousands of radio speakers in the empire occupied areas and countless radios from all over Germany, Lynn became really nervous. He returned to his residence with great anxiety, smoking one cigarette after another.

A few hours later, the officer in charge of propaganda brought good news to Lynn. Judging from the feedback from the people in the occupied areas, the radio speech was very successful. The people recognized the young and courageous new leader of the Baath Party. Of course, the good impression was mainly based on past achievements. People gradually understood the unknown Hugo Horst, through a series of events such as the Kiel Parade, the first universal suffrage after the war, the call for resistance, the guerrilla warfare in the Alps, and the "Stuttgart is still fighting", and gave a faithful evaluation of the courage, talent and perseverance he showed.

Taking the first step of success, Lynn immediately continued to encourage, first carrying out a series of campaign activities in the empire-occupied area, and expanded its influence across the country through intensive broadcast. In the short term, even the people far away from the ocean were well-known to the name of Hugo Horst. After that, Lynn began to go to the Soviet-controlled area for a tour speech under the protection of plainclothes guards, intelligence agents and Baath party members. There was no doubt that his actions had had a great impact on the deployment of Soviet decision makers, and thus the crisis was everywhere. In Hannover, the speech location was attacked by bombs. The Soviet army then forcibly attacked the scene in the name of maintaining public order, trying to create evil things to destroy the ceasefire. Lynn not only calmed the public's fear with extraordinary courage, but also

Wisely accepted the armed protection of the Soviet army - soon, the Soviet authorities "spouted" prey in their mouths under pressure from all sides; in Dortmund, Lynn was attacked by unknown gunmen twice, but this not only did not scare him and his supporters, but instead aroused strong indignation from the local people. They organized large-scale protests and demonstrations, and factories were shut down completely, and people living in the countryside provided stored food to their compatriots whose ratios were reduced through various channels; in Cologne, several international observers who admired the brave accompanied Lynn throughout the journey, thus forcing the Soviet army to cancel a series of interference operations; in Mainz, Lynn was attacked again. Due to the temporary change of vehicles, he himself escaped, but three supporters died...

The strong are getting braver as they setbacks. Lynn fights fearlessly on the new battlefield, and the courage to ignore death is often the most infectious factor. In an extremely limited time, many German people have changed their past self-protection concepts, and their number will be a number that can never be counted but is enough to change the course of history! After more than three weeks of preparation, Germany, Austria, Hungary and Poland under the direct occupation of the Soviet army, held a referendum on the same day, with more than 40,000 international observers from all over the world - mainly voluntary people with certain popularity and credibility in Western allies and European neutral countries,

The voting process was witnessed and supervised throughout the process. Five days later, the counting results were announced. The German and Hungarian people demanded that the Soviet army withdraw immediately and demanded that the current government be dissolved by more than half of the votes, which meant that the Soviet army must withdraw its main troops from these two countries in the next month. At the same time, under the continued supervision of the international community, these two countries will decide on new parliaments and governments in the form of universal suffrage. In Austria and Poland, due to the insufficient number of opposition votes, the Soviet army can extend the agreed withdrawal time until the end of 1949, and governments at all levels in Austria and Poland will also maintain operation until the next normal election period arrives.
