Six Hundred Fifty-Five Tyrants
Akado's words made the two of them seem to have returned to that peaceful time, without the turmoil of war and all kinds of troubles. The two sat in the bright and spacious living room, holding coffee cups, discussing the purest scientific issues.
Sitting in a wheelchair can be overwhelming, but it can also give busy people a sudden chance to enjoy a lot of freedom. Einstein recalled those peaceful scenes in the past, and suddenly found that his happiest days seemed to be those afternoons of chatting with Akado in that small living room.
"My Führer, in fact, if you don't start a war, but use your grand vision to guide the people of the world to a better future, then I would rather give up anything to follow you." Einstein said with a sigh : "But now, I can only sit here, hoping that you will change your mind and bring peace to the whole world."
"I never tried to convince you, Einstein... In fact, after I talked to you a few times, I just regarded you as my friend, not the subordinate I want to win." Akado Smiling, he took a sip of coffee, which he brewed for himself. The taste was not as good as that prepared by Anna, but it was the long-lost taste in the small living room.
"This is where my failure is. I always hope to influence you to make the decision I want, but you just regard me as a friend." Einstein looked at Akado who was sitting in front of him, and said: "You know I'm going to betray Germany? Flee to another country?"
Akado did not hide what he did: "I sent people to monitor the entire empire. This is what I must do as the head of state. After all, it is not easy to be a dictator. It's not that I don't want to be more democratic. Son……"
"I would rather see you dictating this country!" Einstein suddenly interrupted Akado: "You see farther than all of us, just like looking at the world on the shoulders of God, I support your dictatorship , because no one in this world can stand with you and expand the future of mankind with the same thoughts and vision."
Akado didn't know whether to say that the anti-war idiot scientist in front of him was conservative or radical. He looked at Einstein for a while, not knowing what to say. Einstein smiled, and then continued: "I want to ask you one last question, as a friend, not a scientist, not an anti-war person."
"Ask." Akado nodded.
"I want to ask you, after the war, what is it?" Suddenly, Einstein spoke, staring at Akado solemnly, and asked such a seemingly inexplicable sentence.
"It's peace! It's a peace that is turbulent but balanced and stable!" Akado said firmly: "The goal that I, and even the entire Third Reich, is striving for is a new order and a longer-lasting peace!"
"..." Einstein was silent,
He thought of the horrible shot in his dream every night recently, the shot that pierced his body. He is also an ordinary person. As a person, he has his own feelings and anger. If you say you don't hate the British who shot at all, you are deceiving yourself, and if you say you are not grateful for Akado's tolerance and patience, you are absolutely heartless.
"Hope, my decision is not wrong this time!" In the end, Einstein made up his mind, took out a stack of clean manuscripts from under the wheelchair, and handed it to Akado: "This is the last point of my cripple." I have made a contribution, and I hope it can be of some use to you as a friend. I hope you can end the war as soon as possible and restore peace to mankind as soon as possible."
"Who says you're useless? If you're talking about charging into battle, then you might be useless, but I have an army of 6 million, and it's not your turn to go to the front line." Akado was taken aback, then laughed He said: "But I only have an old friend named Einstein, he can talk to me about physics knowledge for an afternoon, and he will never repeat it."
At this moment, Akado's heart was already full of laughter. He was different from the heroines in those novels. He was shocked by the king's body, and the younger brothers bowed down. First Stresemann left him, then Tukhachevsky rejected his offer, and Einstein also chose to defect. Now after a series of events, Einstein has finally chosen to stand on his side, which can definitely be said to be a small solicitation victory.
"My friend, I will not contribute to your war cause. After all, I still have principles that I want to uphold. But now I choose to help my friend do what I can, for example, if you still like me Put the old bones, I am willing to teach at the University of Berlin, no longer participate in any scientific research, I will only be a teacher, an ordinary teacher." Einstein finally said his choice carefully, he betrayed , There is really no bargaining chip to make a request.
Akado was very happy, and quickly nodded and agreed: "No problem, I will arrange someone to protect you and take care of your daily life. This is not surveillance, but please understand, after all, your appearance will become a banner again , this flag cannot fall, it is the interests of the empire, and I cannot make concessions."
...
When Akado returned to the Führer's mansion, it was already past ten o'clock in the night. After all, a visit that Akado had no hope for became an important turning point in the change of Einstein's thinking. He also regained the friendship of a world-leading scientist.
He lightly hung his coat on the hanger, and then the lights came on, and Mercedes stood beside the light switch, looking at his apologetic husband Accardo with his arms crossed. Akado smiled awkwardly, trying to cover up his bad mistake of breaking his promise. At this time, he was a husband who had done too much, not the decisive head of the empire.
"Are you back?" Mercedes looked at Akado's embarrassment, then looked at Anna who seemed to have done something wrong, and suddenly laughed: "Okay, okay! Don't pretend to be pitiful there I know that as long as you go to the hospital today, you will definitely come back at this time, hurry up and eat something, it has just warmed up."
This time it was Akado's turn to be a little puzzled, why Mercedes was not angry at all, why Mercedes didn't mean to blame at all. Anna on the side was also a little puzzled. After all, the two of them broke their appointment first. Didn't Mercedes have anything to say after waiting for so long?
"Do you really think that going to the hospital once can make this old stubborn Einstein change his mind?" Mercedes laughed, with a sly smug look on his beautiful face, like a little fox who has succeeded.
Akado was taken aback when he saw it. That beautiful face seemed to have never changed in the past twenty years, and wind, frost and time seemed to be unable to leave any traces on this beauty. Now this beautiful smug smile reminded Akado A legend that overwhelms the country and the city, and a seductive woman named Daji.
"When I arrived in Berlin from Einstein, I refused to send flowers to Einstein every day in the name of the former colonel of the Wehrmacht. I also asked Heydrich to meet some of Einstein's friends and isolated this genius scientist. Go there today, I knew he would be grateful to you, so it is inevitable that you will come back late." Mercedes told the secret and smiled even sweeter.
Akado suddenly realized, and only then did he realize that his domineering aura may really not exist. This victory is mostly thanks to Mercedes' foreshadowing. But at this moment, Akado felt that he was happier. He got Einstein's friendship and a happy family. Everyone in this family is full of love, making him feel that he can have everything here. Very good.
While Akado was thanking God for giving him such a happy family, at the other end of the ocean, on a battlefield called Kauai Island in the Pacific, the cold wind was blowing the dilapidated flag with a red sun on a white background. Japanese soldiers were hiding in trenches, enduring round after round of heavy shelling by the U.S. Navy.
"Baga! Didn't these American monkeys be defeated by Marshal Yamamoto's navy? Why are there so many?" A Japanese soldier holding a 38-style rifle curled up in a trench set up by the United States and reinforced by Japan, complaining Looking at the overwhelming artillery fire in front of him.
"Shut up, can you believe the nonsense that those bastards in the navy say? Our army is defeated, but we still know that we have to admit that we have lost, and those bastards in the navy will not admit it!" A hungry yellow-faced The veteran of the muscle ship slapped the dust that fell on his body twice, curled his lips and said, "After the shelling is over, we have to go to the beach to clean up and bring back the food, otherwise we will be hungry all day."
The Japanese put bullet-holed steel helmets on the beach, and waited for the tide to recede to find small crabs and other creatures to satisfy their hunger. Later, I don’t know who discovered a better vessel and began to use the skulls of dead soldiers as container, able to capture more food. So the more terrifying and bloody hunting game began, and rows of skulls were piled up on the beach of Kauai Island.
"I don't want to eat that kind of thing." Speaking of those foods, the young soldier's disheveled face became even paler. First, the source of food was too disgusting, which really disgusted Japanese soldiers with a little civilized background; Another reason is that after eating these foods, they are likely to have diarrhea. At that time, it will be even worse. It is better to wait for the submarine's supplies to arrive hungry.
Speaking of submarine resupply... almost all Japanese soldiers thought: Those damn submarines should arrive too? An underwater transport ship full of food and fresh water!
