Chapter 5 The End of an Era (4)

(This chapter is Gao cháo, so I wrote it very carefully. Also, these few sections have laid most of the foreshadowing and answers from the beginning of the story, so I feel good enough!)

"Let me atone for my father..."

The tender Catherine hugged her father, Dick, who was sweating in pain, half kneeled on the Persian carpet in the living room of the villa, showing Blunt the strong side of the tycoon's daughter, bravely facing the gun of the leader of the No. 2 of the Kiel Revolution, and asked neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Catherine knew that her father Dick's sword night against workers in 1915 was unclear, and even Heidi Silem's resignation may not have been caused by Dick's indirect fuel. However, even though Dick committed countless sins in his life to pursue interests, in Catherine's mind, he is still the most respectable father in the world!

"That's thousands of lives, you can't afford it!" Blunt sneered and said contemptuously.

Blunt could not forget the night of the long sword in 1915. That year, as soon as the Imperial Navy's God of War left Kiel, the armed forces and garrison came to the door, arresting the union leaders of the Schleswig Helstein area for various false reasons, and killing them at will without any trial.

Blunt participated in the French-Prussian War and fought bloody battles for the unification of the empire. After the outbreak of the European War, Blunt, an important leader of the social party, regarded himself as a right-wing person, running around and calling for the unity of the empire and war. However, on the bloody night of the sword, facing the death of comrades and friends, Blunt was confused. Blunt felt that he had always stood on the side of justice, but in front of the butcher knife, he found that his passion had been betrayed nakedly. Looking back on his life, he felt like a dream.

He fled Kiel in a daze and came to Russia. Blunt began to contact "Chapter" Marxism-Leninism and socialism. While becoming a proletarian fighter, Blunt was not disgusted with the European war. He just felt that the empire was kidnapped by these damn Junker nobles and big capitalists, and the empire was rejected, and the people leading this country were short-sighted and narrow-minded guys.

So Blunt came back, and he persuaded Albert to slap everything that was old and build a brand new empire.

Before meeting Silame, Blunt was confident, but when he saw Keel in the war, suffering Keel's roar in the Upper Linden neighborhood in 1917, Blunt was shaken. Blunt didn't know how later generations would evaluate the change that happened to Keel. Just as he once thought his career was extremely noble. However, even if Blunt had doubted the actual value of the riot, he would not forget the blood hatred between the Keel workers and Dick.

"Dick can't afford it either!"

Blunt pushed Catherine away roughly and pulled the trigger of the pistol at Dick who was lying on the carpet.

"No!" Verani, who was holding Blunt's thigh and begging hard, let out a low roar like a beast, desperately snatching in front of Dick.

The pistol bullet hit Verani's chest, splashing a charming blood. It was dyed on Brown's armed belt, especially on the waist. After the bullet penetrated Verani's heart, it still castrated and penetrated Dick's lungs.

"Vilani!" Catherine screamed and crawled over in panic. She reached out to cover Verani's shot chest and looked for something to bandage.

Before Catherine found the cloth strip, the blood had completely dyed Catherine's hands red. Catherine could only beg in vain: "Please, don't die, don't die!""

"Catherine...breaks through... the bullets penetrate..." Verani didn't seem to care about her body, and tried desperately to turn around to observe the situation behind her.

"Ah..." Catherine hurriedly moved her mother's body away. Then she found that her father Dick had also been shot in the lung.

After fumbled around the carpet for a while, Catherine finally thought of something that could be bandaged. She tried hard to tear off a corner of the long skirt, and regardless of the exposed snow-white ball, she rushed to bandage Dick and Verani.

Outside the villa, gunshots rang out again. The rain of bullets covered the sky, shattering the glass of the villa like a storm, smashing the sculpture vases placed in the living room, and burning the expensive Persian carpet. Under the gunshot, Blunt looked at the Dicks and his wife who were lying in a pool of blood, threw away the pistol in their hands, and laughed like crazy. Then he was hit on the shoulder by a bullet. Under the gunshot, Catherine listened to the final conversation between her father and mother, and then picked up the pistol that Blunt fell to the ground with red eyes.

"Dick, it's really the end. Actually, there are some things I want to hear again..." Verani, who was mean, tried hard to turn around and leaned on her husband's chest, covering her burning and painful chest, feeling weak.

"Vilani, haha, I love you!" Dick, whose lung leaves were pierced, gently stroked his wife's face. Even if he said a few words, he would cough up a lot of blood and still tried hard to make a sound.

The gentleness of her husband made Verani smile appear on her face. It was not until Dick gradually stopped breathing and her body became cold that Verani remembered to tear her clothes and bandage her wounded daughter.

"Wait, Dick," Great Power Sea Soul Chapter 5 The End of an Era (Four) "What should we do if we die?"

Dick didn't answer, but in fact he couldn't answer either. Verani closed her eyes and saw two lines of tears flowing across her face covered with thick foundation.

"Catherine, you...will you hate me?"

The force is losing, and everything in front of me becomes unreal. In the last few seconds of life, many long-forgotten memories come one after another. Verani remembered that a poor child named Heidi Silem was in love with her daughter, but she and Dick played an insolent role, ending their daughter's happiness with a letter of engagement.

Verani grabbed her daughter's hand, and her trembling body suddenly burst out with infinite power, and she widened her pupils and made a sound of despair:

"Catherine and Sylem shouldn't have stopped the marriage at that time, Dick, we did something wrong! It's really wrong!"

"Ceasefire, ceasefire!"

Although the picket soldiers were still fighting, the war was actually over. Blunt looked at the wounded soldiers and sighed heavily.

The gunshots gradually stopped. In the villa, the dead soldiers lying in a pool of blood and the wounded soldiers who covered their wounds and howled were ignored. Several blood-stained rebels hugged Blunt, who was shot on their shoulders, appeared in the smoke.

At this time, soldiers wearing standard military uniforms broke in through the gap in the villa filled with smoke.

The Hanover Grenadier Regiment and Marine Corps naval and army soldiers lined up behind Wang Heidi, and rows of black muzzles were exactly at Blunt near the second floor spiral ladder.

The sound of grenade explosions came from the depths of the villa, "The Great Power Sea Soul" and then sporadic gunshots. Two blood-covered militants covered their wounds and stumbled out of the smoke making the grenade. Following behind were Berlin reinforcements wearing Imperial Army uniforms, as well as the commander of the guard of the Charlottemberg Palace, Jodman.

In this way, in Kiel, who was rich in bloody smell, at the luxurious villa of the Dick family on the Shalinden Street, one of the top big figures in the Empire met.

Blunt, the leader of the second revolution of Kiel, sat on the spiral ladder leading to the second floor of the villa, covering his shot shoulder and gasping for breath. The mighty Kiel tycoon Dick and his wife Verani fell in a pool of blood, while Catherine, who was kneeling on the carpet, took the strips of cloth pulled from her white skirt to clean up the blood on Dick and Verani's faces.

The emperor's chief guard Jodman walked in in dismay, without the high spirits he had imagined, and even had the courage to look up at the Imperial Navy God of War. He stood timidly in the darkness of Yin on the other side of the villa, his trembling hands tightly in his pocket, holding the golden revolver covered with sweat.

"Silem, it seems like the story has to have a finale!"

The expression of the imperial naval god Wang Heidi is somewhat depressed. Whenever he thinks about his betrayal after exile in the Far East, he says that he does not hate the merciless Dick and Verani are just polite words. Of course, this does not mean that Wang Heidi can remain indifferent to the life and death of Dick and Verani. Although Wang Heidi can't stand Dick and Verani's philosophy of life, from another perspective, they are worthy of respect as fathers and mothers.

"Catherine..."

Wang Heidi shouted softly. The story already involved Catherine wearing white pear blossoms and rain. Wang Heidi could not stand by and watch.

"""Catherine, it's me!"

In the villa, the three soldiers and horses drew their guns to confront each other, and the atmosphere was tense. A slight movement may lead to accidental guns and fire. Wang Heidi whispered, ignoring the stunned expressions of the three soldiers and walking forward on his own.

The picket soldiers were instinctively unwilling to let Sileme come, but they did not dare to fire the first shot. The guard commander Jodman and Colonel Heint Telman both wanted to rob the admiral back, but they did not dare to take action to stimulate the opponent, so the spacious villa hall became extremely strange and quiet.

Catherine was still stroking her father and mother's faces carefully, trying to remember their faces, and the pistol hidden in her chest was also tighter and tighter. However, before Catherine accumulated enough strength, the sound that made her dream come unexpectedly floated over.

"You... know her?" Decades of life experience allowed Blunt to see the relationship between Sylem and Catherine at a glance, so Blunt's head exploded.

In 1915, Silame, who was forced to leave the Ocean Fleet, may not be without Dick's clan, and Silame and Catherine are clearly in a relationship with their lovers. Dick has a deep blood hatred with him. More than ten minutes ago, he pointed a gun at Dick's daughter in the head. Unexpectedly, Dick's daughter had such an indescribable relationship with Sileme.

What kind of evil fate is all this?!

"Did you know the sensational Dick family's marriage remorse in 1900? Although my name was not specifically mentioned in the newspaper, I am undoubtedly the naval officer who was dismissed!"

As soon as Wang Heidi finished explaining, the gunshots started.

"Silem, I love you!" Catherine, who had been facing away from Wang Heidi, suddenly stood up, turned around quickly, and pulled the trigger at Blunt, who was still shocked. "Go to die!"

On the other side, Zorg Thomas, hiding in the bell tower, poked Mauser's rifle out of the wall, and the rifle sight firmly locked the middle-aged man in the uniform of the admiral.

"General, I'm sorry!" The captain closed his eyes and pulled the rifle trigger heavily! (To be continued.)
