One Thousand Two Hundred and Thirty-Two Unforgettable
"Stand at attention!" On the pier in Alexandria, Africa, when Akado stepped down the hanging ladder, a German officer waved his command knife and shouted loudly to the guard of honor. Wearing an SS uniform, with his chin raised high, he assumed the most confident standing posture, facing Akado and set the command knife in front of him.
"Long live the head of state, Arkado? Rudolph!" There were three rows of honor guards holding Mauser rifles standing on the pier. When they saw Akado, they all held the steel guns in both hands and saluted their head of state. shouted. The shouts spread to the surface of the Mediterranean Sea, and gradually faded away with the gentle wind.
"Führer... This is my second hometown. I am very happy to come back here again." Rommel, as a field marshal, was the second person to follow Akado down the hanging ladder. He was wearing a field marshal Dress, wearing decent white gloves, holding the marshal's scepter that symbolizes his power and glory.
Compared with when he fought in North Africa, Rommel was slightly fatter and younger. While following Akado down the hanging ladder, he waved to the old acquaintances who came to greet him on the pier.
Standing on the pier, General Frederick raised his right hand high and saluted Head of State Accador. As the supreme governor of the North African occupied area of the Third Reich in Egypt appointed by the Head of State a few months ago, he was in charge of the entire The Third Reich still has all the troops in the territory controlled in North Africa. The general who once accompanied Rommel in North Africa's conquests is now one of the most powerful people in North Africa.
"My head of state! Although I knew about the transport documents of the 'Teutonic Knights', I really did not expect that you would come to North Africa to watch the experiment of the secret weapon in person... I was too hasty when I received the order, and I even connected to wait for you I didn’t even have time to read all the regulations.” Seeing Akado return the salute, Frederick hurriedly explained.
The specifications of the reception were too shabby. Apart from temporarily mobilizing the SS soldiers stationed near the pier and making a guest appearance as a guard of honor, General Friedrich didn't even have time to prepare for the red carpet. Standing on the pier, I waited for the cruise ship that the head of state was on to dock.
The action plan was so secretive that officials in many places did not receive the news that the head of state was going to Africa. If it weren't for the smile on Akado's face now, even General Frederick would have thought that because of his haste, he had neglected the itinerary of the head of state, the actual ruler of Africa.
"My general! I am very glad to be able to shake hands with you where you have fought." Akado stretched out his hand and joined Frederick's. He had a warm smile on his face, and his voice was very gentle: "It's really a very happy thing to see the warriors fighting for me."
"Do you still remember him?" The head of state stopped in his tracks, and then turned around. Among the countless people accompanying him, he found Montgomery wearing uniform without military rank, and asked General Frederick: "You guys Here to fight for their respective countries,
Now the two of you and I are standing here, but we are working hard for world peace... This is a good start, isn't it? "
"General Montgomery...It's a pleasure to see you again in Alexandria." General Frederick stretched out his palm to the embarrassed Montgomery, and shook his hand with a smile. The accompanying reporters did not waste this moment, they pressed the shutter to record this rare moment.
Behind the head of state, in addition to Field Marshal Rommel and SS leader Reinhard Heydrich, there is also the Italian special envoy, the younger brother of Marshal Garibaldi. Of course, Mr. and Ms. Chen, the Chinese special envoys, and the foreign minister of the French Vichy government were also followed.
In line with the principle that eggs cannot be put in the same basket, Field Marshal Brauchitsch, German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop, and other heads of state will land at Alexandria Airport by plane an hour later. .
"Woo!" The escorting destroyer sounded a long whistle, and then began to turn slowly. The escorting fighter jets also landed at a nearby airport under normal circumstances. Escorting the head of state is definitely not something that can be sloppy. When boarding the ship in Italy, the SS was even completely occupied on the spot, leaving no welcome place for the Italians at all.
"Notify General Fukuman, let him come to Cairo to meet me." Akado gave Frederick a faint order, and with his hands behind his back, he walked to the other end of the pier under the eager eyes of the guard of honor, waiting in front of car there. Several SS soldiers had checked the car that Accardo was going to take, not even letting go of the tiny corners.
In order to make this secret weapon, that is, the experiment of German nuclear weapons, shock more allies, promote the process of European integration, and let those who are still holding the fence mentality recognize the current situation. Akado decided to let the world know as much as possible that Germany already has the power to change the course of the war.
"Long live the head of state, Akado? Rudolph!" When Akado got into the car, all the welcoming crowd raised their arms again, and it looked like a dense forest on the pier, which looked spectacular. These soldiers and officers are Akado's most loyal supporters, and they are even willing to die for the head of state.
When the car passed the street, the buildings at both ends were being rebuilt. Some collapsed buildings that were not too serious were still covered with bullet holes, and some broken glass was still covered with cloth. The locals were on both sides of the road, looking at the convoy passing by with confused eyes. The patrolling German soldiers also stood there with cigarettes in their mouths to give way to the cars of these big shots.
Some leading non-commissioned officers would salute the cars, but most soldiers just looked curiously at the cars passing by them. They didn't get the news that the head of state had arrived in Alexandria, and they didn't know that the car passing by them was the head of state Akado who they praised or insulted countless times all day long.
All the little people at the grassroots level are the most realistic and fickle. They can praise Akado because they got a supply of canned meat and drew a cross on their chest; The suppression of firepower, the enemy's bullets are flying everywhere, and the head of state who mobilized them to the battlefield is called a devil bastard-it all depends on their mood, and the time is very sensitive.
Akado sat in the car, shaking slightly following the ups and downs of the ground. Compared with the smooth roads in Berlin and the magnificent buildings on both sides of the street, it is obvious that there are still many places in this world that can only be described as poor and desolate. Buildings on William Street have been built to dozens of stories high, reaching into the sky; amidst the yellow sand in Africa, the tallest buildings are still covered with mottled bullet holes, and the blood on the walls has not even been wiped clean.
Two local children stood by the narrow crossroads, raising their arms to the passing convoy with immature faces. With joking expressions, they imitated the gesture of the German army raising their hands, until they were taken away by their parents angrily and left the dangerous street.
On some conspicuous buildings, the German swastika flag was hung. The bright red flag trembled slightly in the wind, and the black swastika was bright and solemn in the white circle. These flags represent the ownership of this place, just as it is natural that the Mizi flag of the British Empire was hung everywhere here.
However, it is worth everyone's joy that at least the war here has passed, and the prosperity will eventually return to people's side. As time goes by, Alexandria is being rebuilt. For the surviving people, all the suffering is just the pain of the past, and there is a gradually brighter future. Those truly miserable people are still struggling in the dire straits of the war at this moment, and there is no guarantee that they will be able to survive.
At least here, it is already far away from the war... Akado thought of this, retracted his gaze, looked at General Frederick, who was accompanying him, and asked casually, "As long as we get through to The roads of India, here will become a transportation hub again, and it will be prosperous, right?"
"Yes! My head of state! Marshal Manstein is working hard to stabilize his defenses and prepare for the capture of Iran and India! In fact, there is no decent force left for the British and American defenders there. The reason we stopped was the long supply line." Frederick was born as a warlord, so when he mentioned the war, he immediately became eloquent.
"Time is limited, you immediately prepare a helicopter for General Fukuman... I am not in the habit of waiting, let him rush to Cairo as soon as possible." Akado closed his eyes as he said, and then spoke lightly to Frederick He ordered: "Avoid long nights and dreams, and I can't wait, I can't wait to see the stunned expressions of those people."
General Frederick involuntarily looked at the head of state, and then he was full of doubts and guesses, guessing what kind of secret weapon the "Teutonic Knight" is, which can make the head of state so expect it, and make the politicians of various countries look forward to it. Let's show a dumbfounded expression.
"Don't look, I know you are very curious." Akado didn't even open his eyes, he guessed the expression of General Frederick now, he closed his eyes with a smile and rested, and the old god said: " You will also be dumbfounded, and then you will find the weapon I am looking forward to, which is definitely worth remembering for everyone."
