In the evening of the third day, Bauman and Skolzne, who had returned to the death, walked into the head of state's office. Hoffman asked with concern: "Have you succeeded?"

"Success. We pretended to be British military police and mingled into the scene, completely destroyed the manor and killed everyone we could see. The bombing effect was very good, the fire on the scene was huge, and there were probably very few survivors." Scholzne was not in a high mood, but he still answered the general process.

Seeing the other party's obvious depression, Hoffman asked strangely: "What's going on? I think you're very unhappy? The team suffered a lot of losses?"

"yes!"

"This is inevitable. Such a major action cannot be without sacrifice, but success is more meaningful. This means that the British can no longer steal secrets from us. You will save countless people. There has never been so few people to save the fate of so many people." Hoffman seemed very excited and finally pushed hard on the direction of changing the destiny of history.

"It's mainly because the head of state is far-sighted and decisive in decision-making." Bauman complimented, but Scholzne lowered his head and did not respond, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Comrade Bauman would like to express his greetings to the families of the victims and the injured team members on my behalf. The honors and pensions will be issued as soon as possible. I will personally award meritorious people." Hoffman thought for a while, and felt that there was no one, and asked strangely, "Where is Rank? Why didn't he come to see me?"

"First of the Year..." Scholz's inner head was drooping, and it took him a long time to squeeze out his words from his teeth. "Captain Rank sacrificed his life to cover us. He was the only victim of the commando's operation."

"What?" Hoffman was stunned and asked repeatedly, "How did he sacrifice? When did he sacrifice? You know that he has no special combat capabilities. Didn't I tell you to let you protect him?"

Skolzne's voice was quiet and he told the general action process again. He also talked about what happened to Rank when the two broke up in the end.

"... Because his cover has bought us enough time, we were not bitten by the British troops who came to reinforce the country, and retreated smoothly from another road, and then boarded the submarine to evacuate at dawn. We waited until the last moment of the appointment to evacuate, but we couldn't wait for Chief Rank to come to meet us. There were a few people who wanted to take the risk of staying in the local area to respond, but I think that with Chief Rank's familiarity with Britain, if he could not get rid of the enemy, we could not respond at all, so I refused them with a hard heart. I could only ask him to forgive me, and I couldn't go back to save him. Because there were 50 people in the commando, I hope to bring them all back." Scholz said with a red circle in his eyes.

Bauman already knew about Rank's experience in the UK and interrupted: "Although no one witnessed it with his own eyes. But if I guess it was good, Major Rank should have sacrificed. Even if he was caught by the British, he would definitely choose to be executed with his character and temper. Although he sacrificed his spirit forever, his spirit would last forever. For him, the bastards who bullied him and insulted him in the past were finally sent to hell by him."

"We cannot look at this matter shallowly." Hoffman waved his hand. He was a scholar and understood this humanistic spirit. "Lank was aware of the goal and object from beginning to end. Was he avenged his personal revenge? If he only looked at this, we would look down on his spirit and devalue his self-sacrifice. Although Rank was bullied and insulted in all aspects during his study in the UK, this was just a kind of tempering of the environment for people. He could not reduce his noble motivation to perform tasks and complete his mission to the vulgar aspect of just avenging individuals. He completed this task for the fundamental interests of the country and the people. If it were him personally, I think he would not choose to do this, nor would he take revenge on them. At most he would just smile."

Hoffman gave an example: "When I was young, I was wandering on the streets of Vienna. I insisted on insulting me, sarcastically, and bullying me. If others don't say it, I can have endless anger just from the professor of the Academy of Fine Arts who refused to enroll me... But now I am the head of state and the most powerful figure in Germany. Should I take revenge? If I do that, not only does I have a despicable personality, but my psychology is also distorted. As a noble knight, Rank will not disdain to do this."

"I understand what you mean." Bowman complimented, "The head of state's tolerance has always been admired, and Rank is also a hero with such valuable qualities."

Scolzne told McDonald again and said Rank's message, hoping that Hoffman could agree to the request.

"How to say it, this is really a tragedy." Hoffman sighed. He had never expected that there would be such a story in the action. He nodded to agree with Skolzne's request and explained, "We should follow the last words of Martyr Rank, and I will entrust you to do it."

He turned his head and said to Bauman: "To allow Dr. Goebbels to carry out in-depth patriotic and nationalist propaganda represented by martyrs Rank, and to let the younger generation know, understand and understand Rank's ideological realm and spirit of sacrifice, we must hold a grand memorial service to deeply commemorate and commemorate him."

"First of the People's Republic of China, this is a written will left by Chief Rank. Each of us left a will before we set off. I opened it and looked at it. I found that the recipient wrote you, so I brought it to you." Hoffman took it and slowly opened it and looked:

“To the most respected head of state:

I think when you see this letter, I am probably no longer alive, and this may be a relief for me.

I didn't realize the special thing about this task at first. At most, I thought it was a bit risky, but after a deep understanding, I knew what I was going to do. The best crypto experts and translators in Great Britain were at most just a string of British names that were unknown to an ordinary German; but for me it was a memory that was hard to forget in my life. Translators were just ordinary British citizens, and I could ignore them, but the crypto experts and math experts in it were very close to me, both the chief experts and other researchers. To put it more directly, these experts are basically the most outstanding mathematics professors in the two universities in Great Britain, Cambridge and Oxford, and the best students in the mathematics and statistics department. They included my teachers, my friends, my classmates, and many of my alumni. They should still remember me.

Overall, although I encountered all kinds of unhappiness during my studies at Cambridge University, the school was fair to me. I was treated equally in both my thesis and academic performance. The professors also helped me not wear any prejudice and tinted glasses as much as possible. Although some classmates made things difficult for me when I was in school, I did not hate them. In fact, their difficulties and ridicule did not cause me much substantial harm in the end. At most, it was just some boring topics after dinner, and I would not take it too seriously. Taking a step back, even if I was treated unfairly, I did not need to take such fierce revenge, which was not in line with my ideal.

My real focus is on the target and object of the action. Because I have a relatively thorough understanding of the password, I understand the consequences of the secret, and I have also witnessed the harm of the secret on the front line of North Africa. Although Chief Guderian used the secret trick to eliminate many British people, we suffered a loss overall. Therefore, this action was not only just but also very urgent for the empire.

After I received the task and accepted the mission you delivered, I struggled for a long time. I was in great pain and even tossed and turned and couldn't sleep:

To attack them means that I will attack my teachers, classmates and alumni of the past and destroy them all in the *** way. I cannot imagine this cruelty or bear this price. If I do not attack them, it means that the imperial telegrams may be constantly lost, and we may lose the victory of the war or make greater sacrifices. The German people cannot bear this price.

Finally I figured it out... I am not living for myself. I currently have no family or lover in Germany. I live for the motherland, for the people, and for the leader. When I need care the most, it is the motherland and the people who selflessly accepted me. It is the leader who understood me. Now the motherland and the leader need me and need me to stand up. I cannot betray this responsibility, so I decided to carry out this task, first of all, to ensure that the commando can return safely if possible.

I hope:

Whether it is success or failure, the honor belongs to other commandos, especially if it fails. Please do not demand too much from them. They have done their best. They are the best warriors in the world that I have ever seen. If there are killings and sins in this operation, they belong to me alone. I am willing to go to hell with any crime and accept the cruelest punishment in purgatory to cleanse my sins.

Finally, please allow me to make a small request to you: after I die, I do not need any honors or pensions (if any), just engrave the words "Deutsche Citizen: Tomb of Albert Rank" on the tombstone. My property (I do not have any real estate) is about 1,025 mark deposits. Please donate all of them to the team members who died or were disabled during the operation to do my best.

It’s a pity that I can’t continue to serve the empire. I believe that the empire will surely rise strongly under your leadership to realize the common dream of all German people!

Long live the great, glorious and correct head of the People’s Republic of China Adolf Hitler!

Long live the invincible German people!

Albert Rank, at the base on the night of September 29, 1942." (To be continued.)
