941 What a terrible word

Hu Ge really didn't ask other officers for coffee, but the officers took the initiative to give it.

Hugo was still very fair, and gave the chocolate to Mrs. Hesling, Emma, and little Gretel, and hid the coffee and secretly gave it to Mr. Hesling, who were both teachers and students, and the two of them had a good relationship.

Mr. Heslin was very excited to have a cup of coffee after seeing it, and when Hugo went downstairs to boil water, Emma and Mrs. Heslin pretended not to see it, and this little tacit understanding between Weng and his son-in-law could not hide from the pillow person who got along day and night, which was also good, although it was noisy and noisy, but this is life.

Finally drank the coffee that he had not seen for a long time, Mr. Heslin was satisfied, and seeing that Hugo was about to speak and stopped, Mr. Heslin took the initiative to ask.

"Uh, this is East Indian coffee, it tastes good, right?" Hu Ge didn't dare to say it too clearly, for fear of being scolded and wasting.

"East India? That's really good, before the outbreak of the world war, Munich could still drink coffee from the East Indies, but now there is nothing-" Mr. Hesling leaned back in his chair, his eyes showed a look of remembrance, the East Indies used to be a colony of the Netherlands, and Germany and the Netherlands had good relations, so Germany also had a lot of East Indian specialties.

"Now the East Indies are an independent country, but many say that the East Indies are a vassal state of southern Africa, and in Paris, it is at the strong demand of the representatives of southern Africa that the East Indies can obtain independent status, as well as our colonial jurisdiction in the Pacific." The expression on Hu Ge's face was indifferent, and he couldn't see the true thoughts in his heart.

Now Germany is in an unprecedented difficult period, and for ordinary people, those islands in the Pacific Ocean have little to do with ordinary Germans.

After Germany got those islands, it did not invest much energy in those islands, not because Germany did not want to, but because Germany expanded too fast in just a few decades, and its national strength could not keep up with the expansion of Wilhelm II's ambitions, and Germany did not even have time to thoroughly develop Tanganyika and Southwest Africa, let alone the islands in the Pacific Ocean.

So the magic is the magic in this, the existing colonies of Germany have not yet been developed, but Wilhelm II wants to challenge the global colonial system established by the British, which is indeed not the thinking that a normal person should have.

Mr. Hesling did not speak, as a German, he did not want to blame his own king, but he also did not want to make the whole country pay for the ambitions of a few, so silence was Mr. Heslin's only option.

"Oscar and Herman both went to southern Africa by boat, and they probably won't be coming back in the future—" The expression on Hugo's face was sad, Oscar and Herman were Hugo's best friends and students, and both were students of Mr. Heslin, and Mr. Heslin had high hopes for Hugo and Oscar and Herman.

Mr. Heslin still didn't speak, and the coffee in his hand suddenly stopped smelling.

"I'm happy for them, Oscar went to Rhodes University to teach, Herman went to the University of Nyasaland, it is said that he joined Mr. Rudolf Diesel's Power Research Laboratory, Herman is always smart, no matter what industry he is in, he is very quick to get started." Hugo lit a cigarette on the windowsill, which was also given to him by the Southern African officer, and Mr. Hesling did not smoke, so Hugo kept all the cigarettes for himself.

"Hugo, do you want to go to Southern Africa too?" It was only then that Mr. Hesling realized why Hugo had said this.

"Oh no, teacher, I'll be with you forever." Hugo was resolute, if Hugo emigrated to southern Africa, he would definitely take Emma and little Gretel with him, and then only Mr. and Mrs. Heslin would be left in the house, which would be too cruel for the two old men.

"Don't worry about me and your mother, we can still take care of ourselves, if you also want to go to Southern Africa like Oscar and Herman, neither your mother nor I will stop you, you are a good boy, you should not work at the train station, your mother is right, you should have your own life." Mr. Heslin took a sip of his coffee, the heat from the coffee cup swirling on Mr. Hesling's face, and Mr. Hesling's glasses were fogged.

"I've thought about this question, especially when I see little Gretel, I really want to immigrate to southern Africa, at least in southern Africa, I can do the job I like, and I can keep little Gretel from starving-" Hugo also had sadness in his eyes, a good life is out of reach, and I don't know how many people can resist this temptation.

After the sadness, Hugo quickly recovered: "But I won't go to Southern Africa, unless we go with our family, Southern Africa is fine, but if you are not there, it is not my home." ”

"You can take Emma and little Gretel with you, I heard that the medical conditions in southern Africa are also better, and we can't let Gretel's tragedy repeat itself in Emma-" Mr. Heslin thinks about his daughter's happiness, and in Mr. Heslin's position, he will know more about southern Africa than ordinary people, and Abu has invited Mr. Heslin to southern Africa many times in his letter.

Not immigrants, but "exchanges".

But Mr. Hesling was well aware that as long as he went to southern Africa, there was a good chance that he would stay, as several of his friends did.

Who doesn't want to pursue a good life -

Southern Africa, located in southern Africa, is the most powerful country in the region and has no security risks.

At the same time, because it is too far away from Europe, the war in Europe will not affect southern Africa itself, and at the same time, southern Africa is also vast and sparsely populated, rich in products, huge in potential, and suitable for climate——

The point is that Southern Africa has a group of pragmatic and efficient leaders who have led it to develop rapidly, as evidenced by the capabilities that erupted in Southern Africa during the world wars.

In this regard, Germany also has a consensus that if Southern Africa had not joined, then Germany would not have lost so quickly and so badly.

"Teacher, I'll work hard to take care of Emma and little Gretel as much as I can—" Hugo didn't dare to promise too much, the Germans are precarious now, and no one knows which one will come first, tomorrow or the unexpected.

Oh, and forgot to mention, Emma and Gretel are twins.

"Come on—come on—" Before Mr. Hesling could speak, a sudden cry of terror came from the neighbor's house.

Mr. Hesling's neighbours were Mr. Melk and Mrs. Melke.

The two sons of Mr. Melk and Mrs. Melke were both killed in the World War, and Mr. Melk and Mr. Hesling both worked at the University of Munich, and the two families had a good relationship.

Just this morning, Mrs. Melk received only three potatoes, and upon returning home, a desperate Mr. and Mrs. Melk committed suicide by burning coal.

"God, I ought to have come and see Mrs. Melke—" Mrs. Hesling wept as she sat down in the hallway in front of Mrs. Melke's house, and now that she had thought that Mrs. Melk had behaved abnormally in the morning, Mrs. Hesling's mind was on the family's dinner, and she had not noticed Mrs. Melke's abnormality.

"Old man, you shouldn't be like this, you shouldn't be like this—" Mr. Hesling burst into tears, as an old friend and neighbor, Mr. Hesling knew that Mr. Melk and Mrs. Melke's life was difficult, but Mr. Hesling could not help in any way, and Mr. Hesling could not even take care of his own family, let alone help his old friend.

"Poor Mr. and Mrs. Melke, their family is miserable—"

"Yes, both children died in the world war, the daughter-in-law is nowhere to be seen, the only grandson died in infancy, God is so unfair to Mr. Melke's family-"

"Mr. Melk is also a man of great repute, but now he has ended up like this-"

Hugo and a few young men went to move the bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Melk to the first floor, trying to scrape together money to buy two coffins for Mr. and Mrs. Melke, but the young men found that they could not even scrape together the money to buy the coffins.

It's embarrassing.

"I went to the principal to ask for a sum of money, Mr. Melk has worked for the school all his life, and he can't just dig a hole and bury it!" Mr. Heslin decided to take care of his old friend's affairs, and that was the only thing Mr. Heslin could do.

"What happened?" A young man in a military uniform squeezed in through the crowd.

Mr. Hesling looked at the young man as if he had seen a ghost.

"Oh my God, Daddy-Mom-" The young man who had just appeared was Mr. Melk's youngest son, Otto, who had apparently been killed in battle in the War Headquarters' war report.

However, Mr. Hesling was not in the mood to pay attention to this matter, because with Otto was Mr. Hesling's second son, Erwin.

"Erwin, Erwin, you're still alive, you're finally back, I've been praying for you every day, God forbid—" Mrs. Heslin rushed over in surprise, hugging Erwin's headless kiss, although the environment was not suitable, but Mrs. Heslin could not control her excitement.

"Dad, I'm back, Mom, are you okay? I miss you, every day—" Erwin was equally excited, and after greeting Hugo and Emma separately, Erwin took the initiative to ask Hugo.

"A few of us want to scrape together some money to buy two coffins for Mr. Melk and Mrs. Melke, but we don't have any money—" Hugo's expression was still embarrassed, seeing that he was a father of two children, but he didn't even have the money to buy a coffin.

"Dad, Mom, we'll talk when we get home, I'm going to help Otto deal with the aftermath first." Erwin handed Hugo the burden on his back.

When Hu Ge received the burden, he felt that the weight of the burden was a bit heavy, and then he touched it with his hand and his face was full of joy.

The bag is full of canned food! Canned food in Munich that money can't buy!
