Chapter 639 "The Doctor's Letter"

In the 29th year of the Republic of China, this would be destined to be an uneasy year.

In April of this year, the German army began to launch an attack on the Western Front, with the main target being France, and for this reason the entire Germany was mobilized.

In order to solve the worries about attacking France, as early as September last year, Germany submitted an ultimatum to the Denmark and Norwegian governments, demanding that the two countries immediately accept "German protection". The Denmark king was afraid of German force and announced his surrender, and the German army immediately occupied Denmark.

Norwegian King Hassan VII rejected Germany's demands and advocated resistance. However, Defense Minister Gislin instigated pro-German forces to destroy the war of resistance. On June 10, the German army occupied Norway, and Gislin organized a puppet government. Hassan VII ran away from Britain and established an exile government.

While attacking Norway, the German army began to attack France, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg. On May 10, 1940, a large number of German Air Force aircraft violently bombed 72 airports in northern France, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg.

Then, the German paratroopers seized the airport, bridges and strategic points, and the war broke out in full swing. The German army invested a total of 136 divisions, including 10 tank divisions, 7 motorized divisions and 1 cavalry division, 2,580 tanks and 3,824 aircraft, divided into three armies, and advanced to France, Holland, Bis, and Lux ​​at the same time.

Under the fierce German attack, the Dutch army only insisted on a five-day announcement of surrender, and the Dutch Queen's government fled to London. On May 26, the Belgian king announced his surrender, and the 200,000 Belgian army was captured by the German army.

Faced with the fierce attack of the German army, the French and the British Expeditionary Force stationed in France were retreating step by step. On May 31, the German army bypassed the strong "Magino Line" and unexpectedly entered the French territory with a large number of tanks directly into the Ardennes.

On the 20th, under the cover of ground and air firepower, the German army crossed the Mas River and wiped out the French Ninth Army. On the same day, the German army rushed directly to the English Channel.

On this day, the German army occupied Calais, only a few dozen kilometers away from the coast, forming a joint attack on the British and French coalition forces. The 400,000 retreating British and French troops fell into a desperate situation near Dunkirk.

At this time, Hitler suddenly ordered the German tank troops to stop pursuing and only use air force bombing.

The British and French coalition forces, who were surviving in a desperate situation, urgently requisitioned 943 ships. Under the cover of the Royal Air Force, 330,000 defeated British and French soldiers were withdrawn to Britain. The 40,000 French soldiers who had not retreated were captured by the Germans.

This is the famous "Dunkirk Retreat" in history.

After Dunkirk retreated, the situation in France became increasingly dangerous. On June 5, the German army broke through the "Weigang" defense line and approached the capital Paris.

On June 10, Italy, which took advantage of the situation, invested 32 divisions and launched an attack on France from behind. The French government declared Paris a "unprepared city" and the German army occupied Paris without bloodshed.

On June 16, the Renault government resigned, and Betton became prime minister and decided to surrender.

On June 22, France and Germany signed an armistice agreement. The agreement dismembered France into two parts, and the German army occupied the northern part of France, and the occupation fee was borne by France.

The south was ruled by the Betan puppet government, all the French troops were disarmed, and heavy weapons were handed over to Germany, and France was defeated.

After the fall of France, the pro-war faction, the deputy Minister of Defense Charles de Gaulle, flew to London to organize French military and civilians to continue to resist. In about two years, the German army swept across the European continent!

Germany successively occupied the territory of more than ten countries including Austria, Jet, Bo, Bi, No, Ho, Dan, and Luo, and its military and economic strength expanded unprecedentedly.

In less than two months, France, which claimed to have the first European army, was forced to declare its defeat. This was simply unimaginable before.

The German army is so powerful!

This made the National Government a little sad. If the War of Resistance could break out later and all German armed troops were trained, perhaps the War of Resistance would be another situation.

Just if.

Zheng Yong's prediction about the European war situation was once again proven. He once said that once Germany launched an offensive on the Western Front, France would definitely not last for a few days.

Before, this was just a complete joke.

The powerful France, the powerful French army, became vulnerable waste in the mouths of young officers. What is more arrogant than this, and what is more ridiculous than this?

But when Zheng Yong's prophecy came true, everyone was stunned.

Almost every prediction of the youngest senior officer in China has failed, and every judgment he makes is so accurate.

It's indeed a bit surprising.

When the US President's Special Envoy Snyder found out, he was even more surprised. He always thought that the young Chinese general was just a soldier who could fight wars, but he did not expect that Zheng Yong would have such a keen observation.

In fact, for Zheng Yong now, he only finds it absurd and ridiculous. Anyone from his own era will know what kind of process history will follow.

It’s just that with my own efforts, China’s historical process has been changed.

Sometimes I suddenly think of what happens if China and Germany join forces and what changes will happen to history?

Just thinking about it...

Zheng Yong held the bayonet in his hand and looked over and over. This was the first time he had observed the bayonet so carefully, carrying too many magical things.

It was this bayonet that brought me to this era, and it was this bayonet that brought me together to create another period of history.

Who was its owner before? What did it do with this bayonet? Zheng Yong became more and more curious, but unfortunately he would never know.

"Report, your letter."

At this time, the adjutant's words interrupted Zheng Yong's thoughts, put down the bayonet and took the letter. What was somewhat surprising was that it was actually sent from Germany.

Zheng Yong was a little surprised. Did the letter from Germany? He opened it and then was surprised to find that it was written by his old friend, Dr. Steed, who had helped him countless times.

Zheng Yong smiled slightly. How many times have you never seen this doctor? It has been eight years since he almost died in the hospital.

But when Zheng Yong looked down, his expression gradually changed:

"Dear Zheng, when you saw this letter, I may no longer be in this world. I have a serious illness. The doctor and myself have given me the order to punish me for death.

It's really ironic. I have saved countless patients' lives, but when the disease hit me, I can't do anything.

Zheng, I am not afraid of death. Death is a must for everyone, but unfortunately, before I die, I can't see you again, and those soldiers who once fought with us.

I have always wanted to go back to China and take a look at the places where we fought bloodily together, but unfortunately this wish cannot be fulfilled, and the Northeast is still in the hands of the Japanese.

I am sure that sooner or later, the Chinese government will take back the Northeast, but I hope that it will be taken back by you, and the soldiers who have fought with you in the Northeast.

I already know all the wars you led in China in Germany. Now it is no exaggeration to say that you have become a sensational figure in the world.

But unfortunately, Germany did not stand with China, but chose your enemy, but no matter what, I will always be your friend and will never be your enemy.

In addition to missing you, the one I miss most is Chunni, who is a beautiful and kind angel. In my life, I have never met a woman who is more perfect and more excellent than Chunni.

As I wrote this letter, my country had begun to wage war. Long live Germany! Long live the leader! I believe without hesitation that my country will win!

Just as China will surely win, glory and pride will belong to Germany, China, these two armies with long traditions, and our leaders.

I can gradually feel that life is leaving me bit by bit. Maybe tomorrow, maybe today, I will bid farewell to this world that I have nostalgic for.

I want to live for a few more years and be able to see everything I want to see. Unfortunately, God has already called me there. It's time for me to leave. I'm tired, really tired...

Goodbye, my friend, goodbye, two countries I can't forget.

If possible, I hope that after the war is over in the future, my descendants can take me back to China, return to the Northeast and take a look, and take a look at it for the last time.

Your loyal friend: Peter Wolfgang von Steed. April 1941."

Zheng Yong put down the letter and suddenly felt a little sour in his nose.

This is a real good person, a good person who has given a lot of help to China.

He had no political opinion, the only thing he had to do was to fulfill his responsibilities as a doctor. But even after this good man returned to Germany, he was still silently helping him.

No reward is required, only dedication.

But the doctor still misread it. China will win the war, but Germany will not. Germany will eventually lose the war.

In this sense, it may be a good choice for a doctor to die now.

Zheng Yong sighed softly, the doctor left, and left without any mental preparation. He really suddenly had the urge to see the doctor again.

But this is impossible, and it will never be possible.

"Doctor, go, go with peace of mind. If there is really such a day, I will definitely let you see that we are standing on the land in the northeast again."

Zheng Yong said softly, as if muttering to himself.

"Report, the Chongqing President's telegram is in hand, ordering you to put down all your work immediately and fly to Chongqing. At the same time, please bring everything with you, Mr. Snyder, the Special Envoy of the US President!"

"Oh, I got it, call the president back and I'll set off immediately."

Zheng Yong was stunned for a moment, then said, "Is something happened when I went to Chongqing at this time? Fortunately, the situation is relatively stable at present, and there will be no major wars for the time being.
