Württemberg is in a westerly wind zone all year round, and the temperature gradually drops from south to north. Especially the northern mountainous areas are the coldest areas in Germany, and extremely low temperatures of minus 30 degrees Celsius will occur in winter.

Even in spring, the temperature on the mountain often hovers around zero degrees, and is accompanied by blizzards from time to time. At this time, except for hunters and climbers, few people appear in the local area.

But one day in early spring of 1935, a small team from Japan, who claimed to be a meteorologist rented a manor in the mountainous area of ​​northern Wurttemberg. Every day, he was elusive and had mysterious whereabouts.

God knows what the weather between Japan and Germany has to do with it. People in Yamashita town are talking about it, and some even speculate that these guys may have discovered the treasure room of the Prussian period.

Of course, this has nothing to do with the owner of the manor. It doesn’t matter whether the other party wants to dig someone’s treasure or do something else. As long as you give enough money, everything will be easy to say.

late at night.

In the wind and snow, two people wearing hooded coats knocked the manor doorbell rhythmically, and the door was quickly opened a crack. Someone looked outside vigilantly through the crack and then moved to the door.

"Keep alert."

(Japanese, same below)

The two walked into the house one after another. One of them stomped his feet hard, then put up his hat and threw down the snowflakes, and gave an order to the person who opened the door. The sound was the woman at the top of the peak before.

"Hayi."

The door opener bent down respectfully and closed the door. The howling wind was then locked outside the thick door panel. The fireplace in the room was burning hot, and more than a dozen Asians sat around.

The jumping red flames looked particularly warm on the faces. The woman shook her long hair and came to the middle of the room, looked around and clapped her hands to attract everyone's attention.

"The route of action has been surveyed, and then we will take action as planned. Remember, we only have twenty minutes to go, and we must withdraw to France or Switzerland regardless of whether the action is successful or not."

Speaking of this, her tone became more and more serious: "If you are caught by the Germans, French, and Swiss, you know how to do it. Now everyone repeats their respective positions and tasks."

"Secretly hidden at the foot of the mountain, shoot."

"Around half a journey, observe and send signals."

“Get on the top of the mountain and stand by.”

...........

The people present talked about it in sequence and finally looked at the leading woman together. The whole plan was in the other party's hands. Whether to execute it and how to execute it depends on how she decided.

After hearing this, the woman nodded with satisfaction, and said nothing, turned around and walked into a room. The others were not curious when they saw this. They leaned against the furniture, sat or lie down, and waited patiently for the start of the action.

The evening one day later.

In the Japanese Consulate far away in Berlin, Hasea Ryosuke looked at the Kanto military personnel with a bowl of roll tied on his head, and he raised his hand to cover his eyes helplessly. These damn red deer thought that this place was.

"Haguchi, make more."

The leader of the team handed over the cloth with a must-win victory and said enthusiastically: "You and I will attack the visiting delegation of the Republic of China tonight. It will be the same feat as Ban Dingyuan's envoys who were Shanshan to destroy the Turkic envoys.

In order to destroy the cooperation between China and Germany, and for His Majesty the Heavenly Locust, the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire should not be stingy with their personal life and death. Let us sacrifice our lives for the great cause of the empire, Hase-kun, onboard!"

“Onboard!”

“Onboard.”

Upon hearing this, the soldiers of the Kwantung Army knelt on the ground excitedly, raised their hands to salute to the East. Two overly excited red deer almost killed themselves on the concrete floor, and their foreheads were covered with blood.

But after hearing this, Haguchi just wanted to slap him a big shot. Is this a slut? You are so poor that you are only a loincloth, but I am different. I am a rich man with hundreds of gold bars.

And when a suicide attack was launched in the German capital, how stupid people could come up with this trick. Do you really think of the ubiquitous Gestapo and the Berlin policemen who are deaf and blind?

This matter cannot be mixed.

I'm afraid someone will die.

Hasegawa Ryosuke realized the seriousness of the problem. If the action failed, the first person to take the blame was himself. The Kanto Army would not be investigated as a knife. This is Tokyo's usual routine.

As for success, unless the sun rises from the west tomorrow, the Kwantung military personnel have no experience and cannot see the German intelligence personnel who are scrambling outside the embassy, ​​but he can see clearly.

Just refuse directly, maybe they will be beaten to death by these crazy guys here. I have to think of a complete plan to cover them up. Hasea Ryosuke was thinking about countermeasures in his mind and soon came to mind.

He solemnly took the bowl and bowed deeply: "Thank you for your trust. Haguchi is willing to crush His Majesty the Heavenly Locust. Please allow me to reconnaissance the situation of the visiting delegation of the Republic of China first.

Because if you want to succeed, you must be surprised. Intelligence work is the top priority. Besides, you don’t understand the language of white ghosts, and going out rashly can easily attract the attention of German police.”

The Kanto Army was a little surprised. They all said that the people of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were non-nationals. Today, it seemed that this was untrue. Isn’t there a loyal minister of the Great Japanese Empire here? So I also bowed 90 degrees.

"Then please, Hase-kun."

"I'm leaving without further ado."

After Hasea Ryosuke turned his head and left, feeling a sense of heroism as if the wind was whispered by Yi Shuihan. Seeing Lord Nakasa filled his eyes with tears, he said a few nonsense about Wu Yun Changlong to his subordinates.

Unfortunately, they didn't know that the loyal ministers of the embassy pretended to be calm and walked out of the embassy and immediately ran towards the railway station. The Gestapo who was following behind him lost his target before he could react.

He ran on the noisy streets of Berlin and said that it was too dangerous to get along with the Kwantung Army. He accidentally moved his house. He was like this at the Liuguo Hotel in Peking two years ago, so it would be better to leave early.

As for how to explain it to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs when going back, it was simple. It was nothing more than that the army's red deer were determined to die without listening to the advice. They had no choice but to leave and stay for the useful body to serve the heavenly locust.

It doesn't matter whether others believe it or not.

The important thing is to survive.

When he arrived at the train station, he took out his passport and bought a ticket closest to the departure time. Looking at the French city on his destination, he smiled and walked into the waiting room leisurely.

As a result, five minutes later, a group of fully armed soldiers suddenly appeared and surrounded the passengers. Just as Hasegawa Ryosuke was considering what position to surrender, many wooden boxes were carried in.

"Put it in the freight carriage and speed it up."

Moohy, wearing the Wehrmacht's colonel uniform, waved his hand and shouted loudly. Yu Guang subconsciously glanced at the crowd watching. A yellow-like face flashed by and disappeared in an instant.

But he didn't think much about it. The transportation drawings were temporarily decided to return to Württemberg. The freight carriages were also dispatched through military dispatch. Without passing through the railway company, it was impossible for the Chinese to know the news in advance.

On the other hand, at the urging of the Colonel, the soldiers did not dare to procrastinate and quickly moved the wooden box to the designated location, and then lined up to the last passenger carriage to perform the escort mission.

“Strasbourg ~”

After the military personnel settled, the staff roamed the bell and walked around the waiting room, reminding passengers to get on the bus in German and French, and Hasegawa Ryosuke quietly followed the crowd onto the train.

In the crowd, he sat in the soft seat according to the number on the ticket, and then frowned slightly. What did the German just load in the car? It would be bad if it was weapons and dangerous goods.

However, he immediately realized that this was Europe that had been peaceful for a long time, not the Republic of China with chaotic public security, and no bandit dared to rob under the escort of the regular army, and he couldn't help but smile on his face.

"Woo~Woo~"

Two whistles sounded from the front of the train, and the train from Berlin to Strasbourg slowly started. The metal wheels were spinning faster and faster, and they drove away from the city of Berlin in the darkness.

Muhh stepped out of the train station and got on the car. A burst of blue smoke came out of the exhaust pipe and drove towards the military intelligence bureau headquarters. He was also exhausted after fighting wits and courage with the Chinese for so many days.

When the surroundings returned to peace, the chef of the Embassy of the Republic of China in Germany appeared in the dark, then hurried to the public phone, threw a coin with his fingertips and asked for a number to be passed①.

"The meal is ready."

"knew."

A conversation with only two sentences ended like this. The chef hung up the phone and wiped the microphone, hummed the Northeast tune and left quickly, and carried a few hams from the nearby butcher shop in his hand.

No one knows the meaning of this phone call. The Gestapo, who is responsible for monitoring municipal phones, has not hesitated to classify it into worthless information, and has drawn a big fork in the column of whether to track.

Berlin has millions of people, and there are countless calls every day, and there are more calls without beginning or end. If people are sent to follow up on each call, it would not be enough for the Gestapo to have more people.

However, sometimes omissions occur in common things. Shortly after the call ended, a few whistles sounded outside the hospital where Mao Yike recovered, cutting through the quiet night sky.

The left ear in the ward moved, and continued to discuss the profound issue of the origin of Japanese women's roving legs with Mao Yike. He listened to the Chinese translation in the eavesdropping room and felt excited.

At this time, there was not only the other party who was happy. Sitting on the train leading to freedom and safety, Hasegawa Ryosuke unfolded a French newspaper and smiled and thought about where to go after arriving in Strasbourg.

“Woo~~”

I don’t know how long it took, but the long whistle interrupted his thoughts, like a giant beast, slowly slowed down and turned, and a string of fire emitted from the front of the car pulled the dark sky.

The knowledgeable Ryosuke Hasea knew that the train was going to pass through a special location. Just as he thought of this, he seemed to hear two abnormal sounds mixed in the whistle, which looked like the sound of a gun.

"Nani?"

Haseguro was shocked and hurriedly slid on the car window to observe outside. Unfortunately, nothing was seen except black, and the lush coniferous forest growing on the plain blocked the view.

Before he could take a few more glances, the water cup on the table slid slightly, and the train began to cross the mountainous area of ​​northern Württemberg along the mountain railway. Other passengers had long been accustomed to it and closed their eyes to rest.
