Eight hundred forty-five. Capture of Kloll (Part II)
"Hasn't Buschman come back yet?" A somewhat agitated Kloll walked back and forth.
"Ah, haven't come back yet, but I'm sure Buschman can get Ernest out of the city." Wolf comforted his "Führer": "In any case, at least Berlin must be in chaos now, and we still have a chance to get out." ”
Kroll's face was extremely ugly, he was really unwilling to the extreme, everything that he had worked so hard for so many years to obtain, but he lost it all because of the sudden appearance of a person.
And he is now hiding in Tibet like a water dog.
He vowed that he would be able to leave Berlin and that he would one day be able to return and regain his rightful power.
He was able to make a very clear judgment that Berlin would not be able to hold out for long under the strong attack of the Allied forces, even if there was a baron here who commanded the military and civilians of Berlin.
At that time, the Allies needed someone to maintain order in Germany, and he himself would be the most suitable person.
Of course, the premise of these things is that you must escape from Berlin!
"No, you can't stay here for long." Klour seemed to smell some danger: "Ernest has been gone for too long, we may be exposed at any time, get out of here immediately." ”
"But what if they succeed and come back and can't find us?" Wolf hesitated.
His words made Klour hesitate again, and he thought for a long time before he said, "Then wait for them another hour!" ”
In fact, Kloll still had a lot of confidence in Buschman's return......
As the minutes ticked by, the uneasiness in Klour's heart became even stronger. The radio, like Buschman, had no news at all. It seems that the Allied General Command has also cut off contact with him. What the hell is this, why didn't the Allies send a little message to themselves?
"Get out of here, get out of here." Kloeur finally made up his mind not to wait any longer.
"Führer. A large number of armed men appeared in the vicinity. William, the commander in charge of the Kloll Guard, hurried over.
Clipleton's face turned pale, and the more he feared something, the more something came. Those who captured themselves still appeared!
"Quick, order the soldiers to stop them!" Kloeur made up his mind to break the boat.
"Führer, please leave here at once, I will be responsible for holding back the enemy for you." William has remained loyal to Chloll to this day.
"William, I'm all up to you." Kloll said with some gratitude.
The battle was almost imminent. Here, William was able to command only a little more than a hundred people. However, the other side has far more troops and firepower than theirs.
In order to buy as much time as possible for Chloer, William was almost desperate there......
He recklessly directed his soldiers to shoot, and even shot one of his men who tried to escape. For him, his life was already the least important thing.
He chose to stand firmly on Kroll's side. Whether this choice is right or wrong, at least he is still a respectable officer.
But the firepower of the pursuers was so fierce that there were fewer and fewer soldiers around William who could continue the fight, and even William himself was wounded.
But William breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart. He held out here for almost ten minutes. Plenty of time had already been given to Führer Kloel.
Suddenly, a grenade exploded near him, and William fainted......
When he was woken up with cold water, he and his surviving men were taken prisoner. Then he saw the face of a German officer.
"I'm Temporary Major Hart."
Hart Temporary Major? Is there such a position among the German officers?
Hart didn't care what was going on in the other party's mind: "Mr. Colonel, I was ordered to capture Kloll, and according to our intelligence, Kloll is hiding here. It's a pity that we don't see him now. Mr. Colonel, can you tell me where he has gone? ”
"I don't know what to do." William smiled, "I really don't know. I didn't even ask where the meta was going. Because I know that once I fall into your hands, I will not be able to bear your coerced confessions and will be summoned to all of them. So when I really don't know the way, no matter how much you torture me, I can't give you a satisfactory answer. What do you say, Mr. Temporary Major? ”
Hart believed that what he said was true, and that this was probably the most effective way to hide the secret.
He shrugged: "Take Mr. Colonel to General Fels." ”
At this time, Hassler, who was in charge of searching the surroundings, returned to Hart's side: "Nothing was found, Kloll must have found a way to escape in advance." ”
"We've got to catch him." Hart replied without hesitation: "Not because if I can't catch him, I'll be demoted to a second lieutenant, but because it's a task given to me by the baron." ”
Hassler nodded, he certainly understood what Hart meant.
Hart muttered for a long time: "Hasler, where do you think Kloll can go now?" ”
"I'm not particularly sure." Hassler pondered for a moment: "The whole of Berlin is already under the control of the baron, and he basically has no place to hide. ”
"Yes, he's in his most desperate moment...... "What place does a man choose to go when he's most desperate?" ”
He suddenly made up his mind: "Give me a call from General Fels." ”
The call was quickly answered: "General Fels, the enemy's determination to resist is very tenacious, and we have not captured Kloll for the time being. Ah, no, rest assured, I will surely bring Choral to you...... But I have a small request, I would like to speak directly to Field Marshal Ernst......"
"What, you're going to talk directly to Field Marshal Ernst?" Firth on the other end of the line was visibly taken aback.
Hart stiffened his head and said, "Yes." This is important. Believe me, I need to know a few things that will help you catch Kleur. ”
"Okay. I'll try my best to give it a try. Firth probably made a lot of determination: "But I want you to know for yourself what you're doing there." ”
"Yes, I know exactly what I'm doing."
"Wait for the call, Hart."
The phone hung up, Hart put down the phone, he saw the surprise on Hasler's face at a glance, Hart smiled bitterly: "If Kloll is captured, I think I'll be finished." ”
I waited for a few minutes in anxiety. The phone finally rang, Hart hurriedly grabbed the phone, and a voice that was not very majestic came: "Temporary Major Hart? ”
"It's me. Who are you? Hart asked respectfully, though he guessed who it was.
"I'm Ernst. Bream. ”
"Hello, Marshal!" Hart's heart was pounding, and he couldn't have dreamed of it. The baron really called himself. I'm really talking to the baron.
"Tell me, Major, what you need my help with."
"Ah, yes, Marshal, we are capturing Kroll, but we have escaped by him, and I know that he is the son of the former head of the Intelligence Service, Nikolai Sr., who is your friend. Do you know what old house he has in Berlin? ”
"Major, you're really smart." Field Marshal Ernst on the other end of the phone immediately understood what his subordinates meant: "In the southeast of the city, near Lake Miguel. Old Nikolai had a house, and when he was in Montforton, Nikolai often told me that almost no one knew about his secret place, and that he would always go there when he was in a bad mood. ”
"Thank you, Marshal Ernst, I think I know where to go."
"Major, you have done an excellent job, and I am very impressed with you whether you succeed or not. Firth actually invented the position of temporary major, then I can tell you now that you are already an official major in the German army, good luck, major. ”
Hart hung up the phone with trembling hands, and by this time he found his heart still beating wildly.
Haast swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "You really spoke to Field Marshal Ernst?" ”
"Ah, yes, I really spoke to Field Marshal Ernst." Hart himself didn't seem to believe what had just happened. It took him a long time to regain his composure: "Near Lake Miguel in the southeast of the city, I think we'll have a harvest." Haast, can you believe it, Marshal Ernst just wished me good luck. ”
Haast glared at his friend with infinite jealousy......
......
"This is where I used to live when I was a teenager." Looking at everything familiar, Kloll sighed with emotion: "I never thought that I would return here one day." ”
Now, there was only one Wolf left on his side, and the officials who had escaped from the Empire State Building with him were either captured or missing.
You have to thank the loyal William, otherwise there is no way to escape even herself, Kloll thought to himself.
And here, the place where his father always liked to bring him here when he was a child, became the most refuge Kloll could think of.
Can you think of it? A former majestic head of the empire is now hiding in Tibet like a lost dog.
"I don't think it'll be long before they get here." Wolf said with some frustration.
"But at least this place will allow us to live safely for a few days, and no one knows about it." Klour noticed that his subordinates were a little depressed: "Wolf, have you heard the story of Ferdinand VII?" ”
Wolf was stunned, then shook his head.
"Of all the Spanish monarchs of the Bourbon dynasty, Charles III is the most favored by historians. Charles III lamented the many evils caused by the Church's interference, and carried out effective reforms within the empire with an unprecedented iron fist. He ordered the expulsion of the Jesuits, banned the activities of the monastic order, disbanded them and confiscated their property. Charles III's most popular and most hated act by the Church put an end to the horrors of the Inquisition and brutal torture. In contrast to his father, Charles IV, the son of Charles III, was unanimously criticized by historians. Charles IV reused Rigoletto Manuel. Godoy. He served as the dynasty's chief minister of state and prime minister, and held the government for 25 years. At Godoy's instigation, Charles IV entered into an alliance with Napoleon, a European upstart. This mistake in decision-making led to one of the greatest failures in Spanish history.
In the famous Battle of Trafalgar, the British fleet led by Admiral Nelson nearly completely annihilated the combined Franco-Spanish fleet, and the Spanish Armada has since degenerated into a rather ironic historical term. The Spanish populace revolted against Godoy's autocratic rule, and Godoy fled in a hurry at the last moment, seeking refuge in France. Napoleon received his former ally in a dark, damp cell. Charles IV was ashamed of his life and abdicated in favor of his son Ferdinand VII. Napoleon saw that the situation was not good. Led into Spain, Ferdinand was taken prisoner before he became king. Napoleon appointed his brother Joseph. Bonaparte as the new king. The Spaniards rose up in revolt. The so-called guerrilla warfare was carried out against the invasion of the French army. In 1812, representatives of the Spanish people gathered in Cadiz and adopted a new constitution that defined the boundaries between royal power and ecclesiastical power. This moment is historic, as it marks the birth of the first constitutional monarchy in the history of Spain.
Napoleon was defeated on the mainland. Exiled abroad. Ferdinand also returned to power in 1814. Although he embraced the new constitution of 1812, the volatile and manipulative monarch overturned many of the reforms of his predecessor, Charles III, and returned to Spain the clerical order, the Inquisition, and torture. ”
Chloel's sudden story soon made Wolf understand something.
The overthrown German Führer – though he did not want to admit it himself – wanted to be like Ferdinand VII and one day be able to return to Berlin, take over power and regain everything that was rightfully his!
But there was probably one thing he hadn't thought of. Now, his worst enemy is Baron Alexon! The Baron would never hand over his power so easily.
Klour had none of this in mind. As if daydreaming, he said, "Wolf, you are the only one by my side at this time, and your loyalty will be rewarded by me." When I return to Berlin with the help of the Allies, I will generously grant you whatever position you need. ”
Wolf smiled wryly.
Now, he is not thinking about returning to Berlin and becoming a high-ranking official, but only how to save his life.
"I'm a little tired and need a break." The constant flight had left Kroll severely exhausted, and he yawned, "Please help me keep an eye on everything nearby, Wolf." ”
"Good, Führer." Wolf respectfully agreed.
But the moment Kloll turned around, a gunshot rang out...... Kloll staggered forward, barely on his feet, and with great difficulty he turned around to see smoke coming from the muzzle of Wolfe's gun.
"Wolfe, Wolfe." Blood was pouring from the wounds, and Kloll said bitterly, "Why do you want to betray me? For what? ”
"I want to live, Führer." Wolf took a nervous step back: "It's impossible for us to take back anything from the baron, we can't even get out of Berlin." That's the reality we have to face. It's over, Führer, it's all over. I know that you are not reconciled, and you will not surrender, I can only take such an extreme way. ”
Kloll laughed miserably: "Wolf, is this what you repay me?" Do you think that if you kill me, you will be able to buy your freedom? ”
"I don't know the way, I don't know the way." Wolf couldn't help but take a step back: "But at least, with your corpse, maybe I can have a chance." ”
Kloll tried to rush forward, but he lost all his strength, and he fell limply to the ground.
As his life gradually left him, he seemed to return to China, where he saw the real Skull Baron for the first time......
......
Chloll suddenly exclaimed, "Wait, Mr. Major"
Saying that, he stood up, his body seemed to tremble slightly, and he walked up to that thing step by step, picked it up, and then asked in a trembling voice, "Mr. Major, where did you get such a thing?" ”
It's- it's a skull badge!
From their father's mouth, the three Kloll were too familiar with this skull badge, they had seen it countless times from their father, and they knew better that it was the emblem of the skeleton commando.
Their father had also said that the Skeleton Baron's was different in that his badge was black with a white skull, while the rest of the team had a white skull with a white base.
No one dared to use the coat of arms of a white skull on a black background - except for the skull baron Ernst. Brahm!
At that time, he admired the Baron so much, but he never imagined that he would one day become a mortal enemy with the Baron, and he eventually lost to the Baron.
It's a strange life, it's a strange life......
Kloer. Nikolai died, the former head of Germany, who deceived countless Germans, died.
He died at the hands of his closest men.
Perhaps God has predestined everyone's fate.
Wolf examined Kroll's body, and after making sure that the man on the ground no longer posed any threat to him, he slowly walked out of the coffin.
As soon as he came out, he found that a large number of German soldiers had appeared outside.
Wolf quickly raised his hands:
"I'm Wolf, Kloll is dead, and his body is inside."
The German soldiers slowly leaned in.
Thus Kloll died.
A former man of the hour has completely ended the curtain of his life! (To be continued......)
