Chapter 86 Good Man

"The reason you showed up in the dock is because you just sent your family to the retreating ship?"

Standing next to the railing at the stern of the ship, Bach took out a silver cigarette box from his pocket, opened it, and handed it to Lynn. There were about a dozen cigarettes inside. Lynn hesitated for a moment and reached out to take out one.

Bach also picked up one of them himself, closed the cigarette box, skillfully knocked the cigarette on the lid twice, then put it in his mouth, took out the lighter, covered his hands and gave Lin En the first, and then his own.

Taking a deep breath of smoke, feeling that his emotions had calmed down, Lynn tried to answer with the standard pronunciation, "Yes, sir, they are important to me!"

After exhaling the second cigarette, Bach said slowly: "The victory and failure of the war are like clouds in the sky, which will float away sooner or later; the family is like the sun, and occasionally they will not see each other for a few days, but we will be indispensable for our lives!"

This is really good, Lin En sighed in his heart. Although the age difference is not much, he never thought that this lieutenant colonel would chat like this with a big soldier like himself.

After exhaling the third puff of cigarette, Bach said in a gentle tone: "I entered the military academy since I was 12 years old. I have been together with my family for more than ten years. Sometimes I really want to enjoy the care of my family like ordinary people!"

Such feelings make people feel that they are from the heart and have no artificial elements.

"You became independent very early, but I have been relying on my family until I became an adult!" At this moment, Lynn was really embarrassed to say that he had to rely on his parents to support him in the few months after graduating from college. He felt that even though he had the cognition and knowledge beyond this era, he still needed to look up to the young lieutenant colonel next to him in many aspects.

Bach still maintained a calm expression, but his eyes were staring at the tumbling splashes of water on the stern of the ship.

"It's the same life, everyone has their own path!"

"Yes!" Lynn responded, and then he remembered what Lieutenant Colonel Bach said in the helmroom just now, and asked, "By the way, sir, do you say that the ship that set sail from Konysburg ahead went directly to Denmark?"

"Oh! Yes, go to Denmark!" Bach replied, "There is still relatively safe there, and even if it is occupied by British and American troops, the safety of civilians is more secure than being captured by Soviet troops!"

This sounds a bit sad when the war is not over.

Because he had been looking back at history decades later, Lynn knew that the German military and civilians in the British and American Allied Forces controlled the area after the war were indeed better than those under the Soviet army, and this difference was still reflected in the economic level and living conditions until the merger of East and West Germany.

"If possible, I would like to ask you for a favor." Lin En didn't have any confidence when he said this. Although he is a subordinate of the lieutenant colonel, he felt that it was difficult for him to achieve some of his requests.

Bach did not hesitate: "Well, after that, I will do my best!"

Lynn said gently: "When it is convenient, please help me check the news about Matt Rollsen, Alice Rollsen, and Kacili Rollsen's family of three. I hope they can arrive in Denmark safely and settle down properly!"

"Okay!" Bach agreed immediately.

This surprised Lynn.

Bach bent down, supported his arm on the railing, holding a cigarette with his fingers, and explained: "I will do my best to help them relieve their worries whenever they join the Special Operations Force! On the battlefield, we must be highly focused, and any small distraction can lead to irreparable consequences!"

These words made Lynn feel familiar.

After thinking for a long time, Lynn thought of such a complimentary saying: "You are a good person!"

Bach took his last sip of cigarette, threw the cigarette butt into the sea, and turned to look at Lynn:

"There is no absolute difference between good and bad in this world, but... I'm glad to hear you say that!"

After saying that, he gave Lynn a toothy smile. There was a conspicuous tiger tooth on the left side of the front teeth, which set off her handsome face, making Lynn feel that he is an extraordinary person.

When saying goodbye, Bach did not leave Lynn with comforting words such as "no need to think too much" and "rest well". Perhaps in his opinion, soldiers who can withstand the tempering of war are all firm enough to adjust their mentality even if they encounter setbacks.

Before walking off the deck, Lynn saw that the sailors on the right had already lowered the traffic boat. The small hull shaking violently when it touched the sea. Looking into the distance, the warship was closer to the explosive ship at this time, but it was not enough to identify with the naked eye whether the ship was unbalanced and rolled.

Lynn, who had no faith, made an unstandard cross on his forehead and chest.

With the kind help of another sailor, Lynn returned to his cabin, and the empty shops were still empty, showing the special position of the "vampire". NPC Eric and many companions around him were lying in their clothes, some might have fallen asleep, and some just closed their eyes to cultivate. He walked back to his bed, lay down, closed his eyes, but various pictures kept popping up in his mind: both the innocent and cute expression of Little Katselli and the blurred eyes of Alice who wanted to refuse and welcome. These are beautiful and happy types; the shipwreck scenes that have been seen in TV movies, especially the most impressive scenes in the Titanic, when I think of the poor people who are soaked in the cold water, I feel a sense of discomfort. After struggling in this vortex for a long time, I suddenly heard someone whispering: "Look, save a boat!"

Knowing that this had nothing to do with the White Goatie family, Lin Neng couldn't help but get up and walked barefoot to the porthole. The traffic boat that had left had returned to the near side, its small deck and the stern were crowded with refugees, and the boat was bumping in the waves, looking at the people who seemed to be thrown off at any time.

The two "dark night warriors" who were talking just now seemed to have been waiting by the porthole and watched. Without any discussion between them, they each picked up the blankets and walked towards the cabin door while calling on their companions who were not asleep: "Let's go, go up and help!"

The "Dark Night Warriors" who had already lie down stood up one after another, holding the blankets they used. Anyway, Lin En followed them without any intention of falling asleep. When he walked out of the cabin, many "Dark Night Warriors" in the cabin opposite spontaneously went to the deck to help. This silent scene made Lin En full of complex feelings. His previous anxiety disappeared, and he began to be proud of being able to join such a team.

Up to the deck, many of the wounded soldiers of the army arranged in the open air had gathered to the side of the ship, helping the sailors to pull refugees from the traffic boats with lifts, ropes and ladders. Looking at the sea water swinging from the ship's side, Lynn realized that the speed of the warship had significantly slowed down - this was a very risky move in waters where enemy submarines might be infested. So he turned to look at the bridge, and the lieutenant stood alone at the door of the helm room, staring at the side of the ship with unknown eyes.

Lin En was mixed with emotion.

The first group of refugees quickly boarded the ship. Almost without exception, the elderly, weak, women and children were wet all over. When the cold sea breeze blew, they were trembling, and their pale faces were heartbroken. The soldiers around quickly wrapped them in blankets to settle in the back. Lin En saw the round-faced "Dark Night Soldier" directly picked up a six or seven-year-old child, and walked towards the cabin door with wind under his feet. The child was still crying. A woman wrapped in a blanket stumbled and wanted to follow.

Lin En quickly took a step forward and reached out to hold the woman with a loose hair and blood-faced face: "Don't be anxious, I'll take you there! Don't be anxious! The child will be fine!"

After hearing what Linen said, the woman's emotions calmed down a little, but her body was so weak that she could only stagger with Linen's support. When he entered the cabin door and saw the long steel steps, he didn't think much about it, and directly carried the woman down.

"You are a good person, sir, you are a good person..." the woman on her back muttered tremblingly.
