Chapter 545 Youth Group

I drank a little today, so I only updated once. I will make up for it tomorrow. Sorry!

German trains can easily remind Qin Chuan of modern green trains... The same track gauge (1435MM) makes the interior of the trains not much different, with three seats on one side and two seats on the other side, and a narrow aisle in the middle.

This is different from the Soviet wide-gauge trains, which are 1520MM, with six seats in each row and three seats on each side of the aisle.

Although this seems to be a small difference, it played an unexpected effect during the war... When Germany launched the Barbarossa Plan to attack the Soviet Union, all German trains could not drive on the Soviet railways because of the different track gauges, which greatly limited the speed of Germany's attack in the early stages of the war.

In fact, this is only one aspect. On the other hand, most of the Soviet rails were old antiques left over from the First World War with shoddy workmanship and poor quality, which made the Soviet railways difficult to use in the eyes of the German army.

The train to Berlin seemed a bit crowded at this time. Qin Chuan didn't know why at first, until a teenager who got on the train halfway sat opposite and asked Qin Chuan: "Hey, are you going to Berlin to see the Führer too?"

"Oh, yes!" Qin Chuan replied.

"Great!" the teenager replied, and then waved excitedly to the group of people behind him: "We have one more partner!"

"Hello, welcome!"

"Glad that you join us!"

...

One by one, the teenagers came forward to greet Qin Chuan with great interest.

In terms of education, the Germans are still very successful, just like these teenagers in front of them. They have received semi-militarized Spartan training since childhood, wearing the same Hitler Youth League uniforms, implementing collectivist education and standardized training... They even have a set size for fishing, and those that don't meet the size must be put back into the river.

(Note: Since 1936, Germany has legally stipulated that all Aryan teenagers must join the Hitler Youth League, with those aged 10 to 14 entering the Youth League and those aged 14 to 18 entering the Youth League. The troops formed by the Youth League are famous for their bravery and fanaticism, such as the "12th SS Hitler Youth Armored Division")

Such education seems too rigid today, restricting everyone with rules and regulations, and everyone lacks personality as if they were poured out of the same mold, but during this period, it cultivated batches of qualified and excellent new forces for the German army.

"My name is Meyer, from Wolf!" The boy sitting opposite had a sunny smile on his face, and generously stretched out his hand to ask Qin Chuan: "What's your name?"

"Oh, my name is Lehman!" Qin Chuan replied: "From Frankfurt!"

Qin Chuan borrowed his brother's name.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Lehman!" The young man shook Qin Chuan's hand: "This is my third time to meet the head of state, how about you?"

"This is my second time!" Qin Chuan answered casually.

But the smile on the young man's face soon dimmed: "So, Mr. Lehman, are you from Frankfurt?"

"Yes!" Qin Chuan nodded and asked, "Any questions?"

"You have been in Frankfurt all the time and never left?" Meyer asked again.

"Yes!" Qin Chuan was a little impatient, Meyer's tone was like an interrogation.

"As far as I know, Mr. Lehman!" Meyer said, "The Führer has given speeches to everyone twice at the Roman Forum in Frankfurt, but you said this is your second time to see the Führer..."

Only after hearing this did Qin Chuan know where the problem was. Frankfurt is an important financial and industrial center in Germany. It is normal for Hitler to have given two speeches to the public there. So if he was enthusiastic enough, he should have seen Hitler at least twice, even if he just looked at him from a distance.

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan couldn't help but curse inwardly. These little bunnies really have a "class struggle that can't be relaxed at any time" look.

"I missed it once!" Qin Chuan wanted to muddle through.

"Which time?" Meyer asked, and waved to the back, and a dozen little kids surrounded him.

One of them said to Qin Chuan very seriously: "If you can't answer, we have reason to believe that you are an intelligence officer lurking among us!"

Qin Chuan was in trouble now, because Qin Chuan didn't know when Hitler went to Frankfurt to give a speech, and it was impossible to guess the answer correctly.

"Okay!" Qin Chuan answered helplessly: "You can look at my ID, but you can't tell me..."

"Wait!" Meyer stopped Qin Chuan from reaching into his inner pocket.

Meyer was very vigilant. He was obviously worried that Qin Chuan had a pistol in his pocket, so he searched Qin Chuan and took out his ID.

Qin Chuan rolled his eyes, and he was completely convinced.

Meyer flipped open Qin Chuan's ID, and his eyes lit up immediately. He looked at Qin Chuan with an unbelievable look, and said in surprise: "You are..."

"Shh!" Qin Chuan made a gesture to keep quiet, and Meyer quickly swallowed the rest of his words.

"You know why I put on makeup!" Qin Chuan said in a low voice.

"Yes, sir, I know!" Meyer's eyes flashed with admiration, and he looked around and replied in a low voice: "The despicable and shameless enemies can't defeat you on the battlefield, so they hope to assassinate you with dishonorable means!"

"Hmm!" Qin Chuan nodded: "So, pretend you know nothing and go back to your seats, understand?"

"Yes, sir!" Meyer whispered a few words to the other teenagers, and all the teenagers looked at Qin Chuan with wide eyes.

After they reacted, they hurried back to their seats.

"Your ID, sir!" Meyer handed over the ID: "Sorry, sir, I don't know..."

"It doesn't matter!" Qin Chuan took back the ID and put it back in his pocket: "You did a good job!"

In fact, Qin Chuan really didn't know whether it was good or bad for them to do this.

To say it was good, the war era did need to cultivate teenagers like them.

To say it was not good, they lacked the innocence that teenagers should have on their faces, and they were more mature and capable.

"Don't worry, sir!" Then Meyer added: "We will protect you to your destination safely. If they want to hurt you, they must step over us!"

Qin Chuan couldn't help but smile. If he needed these children to protect him, what was that? !

If it were any other occasion, Qin Chuan would either treat this as a joke or think that it was just Meyer's childish talk.

But judging from the firm expression on Meyer's face, this was not the case. In fact, Meyer and his companions were already prepared.
