Chapter 216: In Great Britain (6)

As the head of state and a close relationship with the black cat, there is only one place in the collapse, Buckingham Palace. However, to Adams' annoyance, there are still rumors that the Demon King will live on the battleship Lion at night, which makes it much more difficult, even unimaginable.

Who can be sure that you can go up a stab on a heavily guarded warship surrounded by destroyers and boats?

This is not really speculation, but it is brought up as a fairly important part of the security measures. Originally, if a normal state guest insisted on staying on a warship because he did not live in London, it would provoke the host's anger, but apparently the Führer was not among them. Both Black Cat and Attlee knew that there were people who intended to be unfavorable to the Führer, and intended to sprinkle another handful of salt on the Anglo-German relations that had already appeared to be relaxed, so it didn't matter if safety came first, and face or anything else. Besides, the presence of the Lion did not insult Great Britain that all warships flying the national flag are the mobile territory of a country, and since the battleship Lion is a warship of the Royal Navy, since it flies the flag of Great Britain, it is of course also part of the British territory, and there is no political difference between living on a warship and living in Buckingham Palace.

Just in case, Himmler and Bowman also prepared a stand-in for Hoffman before departure, and the two sides are 9 percent alike, and even in some details, the stand-in is more like the Führer than Hoffman After all, Hoffman has now changed a lot of the Führer's signature moves, and the gestures are not so drastic during the speech, and the stand-in is still a magical action model. However, there is one thing that can be clearly distinguished, when facing big shots, the aura shown by the stand-in is completely different from that of Hoffman.

The powerful Gestapo even prepared a stand-in, which was carefully selected from the Brandenburg troops. Relatively speaking, Eva's stand-in is obviously easier to solve, because Eva will not be the main target of the assassin, even if she is not particularly similar to herself, it doesn't matter, because Eva rarely shows up, except for the cronies and high-ranking people around her, who can tell which is true and which is fake?

That is, because the Black Cat family and Eva are very familiar, and because of the postponement of the marriage, we must consider appeasing Eva, otherwise Hoffman does not necessarily have to take her abroad.

"It seems that the only way to plant roadside bombs or mines is to plant roadside bombs or mines," the jackal sighed, "but how do you know the route of the convoy?" Even if you know the route, how can you determine which car is the car of the Demon King himself? ”

"Sir, don't worry, there is always a way, tonight, we will step on the secret stake in Buckingham Palace."

"Be careful."

On the way to Buckingham Palace, Hoffman politely declined the royal carriage of the British royal family, he is not a monarch, and he doesn't want to be so ostentatious, but he is still ready to take his Mercedes-Benz bulletproof car, this time there are 5 identical cars in one go. Edward wasn't particularly interested in horse-drawn carriages, he came in his own Rolls-Royce.

But soon, Hoffman bit his ear with him: "Your Majesty,

I'd like to talk to you about changing your itinerary and letting someone else go to Buckingham Palace, and I'll go somewhere else with you. ”

"Change your itinerary? Other? Edward VIII was stunned, "Where do you want to go?" ”

"Let's get in the car?"

Hoffman and Edward VIII got into a Mercedes Benz together, and Eva and Mrs. Simpson got on a Rolls-Royce, which was a reciprocal exchange, not to mention who had no face, as far as Edward VIII was concerned, he thought it was acceptable to choose to ride in the same car with Hoffman, the other party was the hegemon of Europe after all.

"Your Majesty, the Führer wants to go to the cemetery" Skorzny, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, turned his head and answered Edward VIII's question, but his expression was a little solemn, "Where are two national heroes buried, one is a hero of Britain, one is a hero of Germany, and the one behind him is our brother, and the Führer wants to go and see him." ”

"What remarkable deeds did this hero do?"

"This"

"Otto, you say, now that the dust has settled, what can I not hear?" Edward VIII smiled, "Aren't you also my guard?" ”

"He's Rank's Commando Captain, Albert Rank, who led our raid on your country's codebreaker agency. Your Majesty, I confess to you that I was in Great Britain once in September 1942, and that I learned English for this operation."

"I knew that if you knew English, you had to have a story to tell. I remember what you said, I know," Edward VIII sighed, "It's a tragedy, I'll go with you, no matter what, there are two heroes buried here!" ”

"Your Majesty, I am not forcing you to see someone you don't know, I'm thinking about the impact of this matter, if I go to see Ranke, and your country doesn't say anything to your hero, the British people will be very disappointed," Hoffman said seriously, "You have not been defeated, let alone surrendered, but you have suffered some setbacks, and Great Britain is still a very proud and proud nation!" ”

The black cat was stunned: he understood the impact of this in an instant. This is indeed a tricky matter, whether to commemorate and commend the heroes of this war is a major problem faced by the current British government, with Hoffman's words as the foundation, he at least knows what to do. And he now knew that Germany would not mind much about the heroes of propaganda on the British side, and this was not a boycott of Germany, but a face to history.

Lily sat in a daze in a cemetery in the eastern suburbs of London, looking at the sky, muttering to herself, not knowing what to say.

When the war ended, many of the captured relatives of British families returned home in turn to live a life of family reunion, and although they suffered some hardships, at least they were in good shape and could start their lives again. But her lover, the mathematician MacDonald, a top student at Cambridge University, did not come at all, and his name had been reduced to a cold stone carving on a tombstone.

Lying next to the cemetery is her husband's former classmate and friend, and the murderer of her husband, Albert Rank, who was a crush on her when she was a girl, she doesn't know how to release her love and hatred, as a top student of the Faculty of Letters, she has suffered a more bizarre blow than the plot, she can't hate, she can't cry, she can only sit here and watch the two of them.

The officers and men of the brigade quickly surrounded the cemetery, and Skorzny was stunned when he saw Lily, not expecting to see each other on such a winter morning.

"Your Majesty, the Führer, I have inquired, this is the widow of Mr. MacDonald, although I know her, but I have never taken the initiative to meet her, I do not have the courage to look at her."

Hoffman nodded: "I know, don't alarm her, Your Majesty and I walked over slowly, are the flowers and medals ready?" ”

Behind him, Dahlges nodded, "It's all ready!" ”

"You're Mrs. MacDonald?"

"Yes?"

Seeing Hoffman and Edward VIII coming, Lily turned around and wanted to leave, she was a Cambridge graduate, not a housewife who didn't listen to what was going on outside the window, and when she saw the faces of Hoffman and Edward VIII, she recognized who the two were, and the huge guards around her showed this

"Dear Madam, may I say a few words to you?" Hoffman spoke.

Although it was strange that Hoffman spoke English, Lily's tone was cold: "There is nothing to say between us. ”

"I am very sorry and saddened for the death of Mr. MacDonald, and I am here today to pay my respects to him." Hoffman said apologetically, "I know you from Ranke's mouth, and your insight should be able to understand that this is a fight between two isolated people, for the interests of their respective countries and peoples, they have no personal hatred, they used to be brothers and I am saddened, I hope this kind of tragedy will never happen again in the future, I have a dream, I hope that the descendants of Mr. Ranke and Mr. MacDonald will sit together in close harmony in the future, continue to be brothers and sisters, and always be brothers and sisters."

After Hoffman finished speaking, he personally placed the flowers and banners in front of MacDonald's tombstone and bowed deeply.

"To Mr. MacDonald, who fought all his life for the national interests of Great Britain, with the highest respect for Adolf Hitler."

Immediately, he placed another medal in front of Ranke's tombstone, and also presented flowers:

"The martyr Ranke, who fought all his life for the cause of the rejuvenation of the German nation, is immortal!"

"Ranke, I've come to see you, and I promised you that no matter what the final result is, you must come, and I will fulfill my promise and take you to Germany."

Dahlges handed Lily a certificate and a booklet of beneficiaries of the oil fund shares: "Dear Madam, this is the reward to which the martyr Ranke is entitled as the holder of the Knight's Cross of the German Golden Double Sword and Oak Leaf, and in view of the fact that he has no descendants or other relatives, and in view of his special relationship and special experience with your family, we have decided to transfer this inheritance to you."

"No, no, no, I've got a batch of gold, I can't ask for it."

"Take it, this wealth is also a condolence money for the other scholars who died in this incident, we have no ability to send condolences to everyone, we can only entrust you to convey it." Hoffman reached out and shook Lily's cold hands, "Your children will need money for their future growth and education, and they will also need money to entrust someone else to take care of the cemetery, this is the only comfort we can think of, if you want to settle in Germany, we also welcome it." ”

"Führer," said Lily, sobbing, "may I ask you of one thing?" ”

"Yes, as long as I can do it."

"Can you please not take Ranke away, I want the two of them to be together forever"

Hoffman thought for a moment: "I understand your intentions, so I will do as you say, and I will entrust you to take good care of the two heroes in the future." ”

"Thank you!"

"I'm sorry! I want to say sincerely, I'm sorry! Hoffman took Skorzny and bowed deeply to Lily, then Edward VIII and the others.

The next morning, the story of Ranke and MacDonald was in the newspaper, and the cemetery was filled with a crowd of mourners, and their tombstones were piled up with chrysanthemums or carnations that symbolized mourning.
