While Lin Youde was busy playing with the new maid, the German offensive continued.

Lin Youde's so-called "rolling offensive" was so effective that within a few days of Isabella's capture, the Germans had regained a large area of land, including Bremerhaven, and German troops had approached the city from three directions.

Although it was a little later than Lin Youde promised, the Germans finally returned to the foot of the city that had been voluntarily abandoned a few months earlier.

Hans Zimmer returned to his companions and sat down by the fire.

"How's it going?" James? Horner asked, "When are we going to be rebuilt?" ”

"Return? I didn't think you were quite professional in your words. Hans replied half-jokingly, picked up the cup that was placed next to the fire and took a sip, "The order has come down, and until the battle is over, we are all under the command of the Panzer Chasseur Battalion." It is said that the stragglers who were separated from the original unit in rolling operations were basically dealt with in this way. So rejoice, we're now part of the glorious Panzer Hunters. ”

Hans's words made the expressions of both companions subtle.

"Is it really a cause for celebration to join such a unit that is always at the front?" James said in an almost murmuring voice, "I can't remember how many people I've seen die in front of me these days, and where have we seen such casualties in our time in ordinary troops." ”

"But in ordinary troops, I haven't seen a few enemies killed." Wolf's voice was completely different from James's, and it sounded a little excited, "And we sacrificed less when we were ordinary troops, mainly because the enemy didn't launch a particularly ferocious attack, right?" And in the past few days, we have been chasing the fleeing enemy, and when we encounter a battle, it is basically the enemy who can't escape, so the trapped beast is still fighting, this is different, right? ”

Hans put down his glass and nodded in agreement with Wolff's words: "It is true that most of our time in Hamburg we were digging trenches and building bunkers, and the British did not encounter many serious charges, and most of the casualties were caused by British shelling. ”

James shrugged: "Maybe." ”

"Maybe the original troops are now suffering more casualties than the armored hunters." Wolf said as he reached out and opened the small pot set up with an iron rack above the campfire, and looked at the vegetable soup stewed inside, "It's so fragrant, it's so right to get some vegetables or something when you pass by that field." ”

"It's a violation of military discipline."

"I have a good amount of money left for groceries. I remember clearly that I don't take a needle and thread from the masses, and I can memorize the three major records and eight items. ”

James didn't speak again.

At this time, Hans had just finished drinking the coffee in his cup, he looked up at his companions, and broke the sudden silence by finding a random topic: "Speaking of which, I heard interesting news from the headquarters. ”

"Oh?" James and Wolf were both immediately interested, and they both watched together as Hans urged him to continue.

"It is said that Mr. Lin Youde captured the Queen of England through a surprise attack."

"Really?" James and Wolf shouted in unison, attracting curious glances from several people near the campfire.

Hans shrugged: "Where do I know if it's true or not." But the whole command is talking about it, and I don't think it's going to be fake. ”

"Then can we get out of this goddamn war?" Wolf had a happy expression.

"How can there be such a good thing, the war can't be stopped if you want to."

"But you see, Mr. Lin has caught the queen, maybe the queen will fall in love with her in a few months." Wolfe's interest was even higher, "Didn't you say that Miss Conrad was particularly hostile to Mr. Lin before, and now she has become Mr. Lin's concubine?" ”

"We are a republic." Hans Zimmer reminded.

"Come on, everyone knows that Mr. Lin is the emperor, but he doesn't want to be it. Recently, these big names who can be favored by the gods have become popular like this, this is the Jesse in the United States? Washington opened. ”

"The founding father of the United States is called George Washington." This time it was James' turn to shake his head, "Jesse? Washington was just a poor black man, who was lynched and burned to death by the Americans, which was quite famous and sparked an anti-racism movement in the United States. ”

"Thank you for suing me about this," Wolf was not annoyed, "in short, since Washington in the United States, these men surrounded by gods have not been in fashion to be emperors, they prefer titles such as president, first consul, etc., and Napoleon Bonaparte even dropped the crown." But in fact, what is the difference between them and the emperor, the French dwarf called him His Majesty, and the Americans did not call him Washington, but they painted a mural of Washington's ascension to sanctification on the roof of the mountain. I'm familiar with these stories, and my middle school teachers love to tell them.

"As for our Mr. Lin, it is estimated that there will be no fewer people who are willing to call him His Majesty, after all, you see, everyone has already worshiped him to the point that they want to wear his statue on their chests, and it is estimated that it will not be difficult for everyone to kneel down to him."

Hans Zimmer looked down at the Lin Youde statue on his chest and pouted: "Please, this is just a talisman." ”

"In short, I bet that Her Majesty the Queen will also become Mr. Lin's woman, and then there will be no reason for Britain to fight, isn't it, it's all a family."

Hans and James looked at each other, and almost simultaneously dismissed the idea of making Wolf understand how complicated politics was.

At this time, a new voice joined the conversation: "The mother of the former Emperor William II was the eldest princess Victoria of England, but the result was that England did not go to war with us. In the same way, Tsar Nicholas III and Wilhelm II were brothers, but Russia still declared war on us after Germany declared war on France. This kind of thing is not reliable at all. ”

The three of them turned their eyes to the direction where the voice came from, and found that it was the platoon leader of the armored hunter platoon who had been operating with them for the past two days. It is said that this platoon commander was an accountant before joining the army, so he wore glasses.

"The three of you were assigned to my platoon." The platoon commander said to the three of them, "Tomorrow cross the Weser River with us." ”

"Yes." Hans replied briefly.

James asked with some concern, "Will there be resistance, Mr. Platoon Commander?" ”

"I don't know, but the guards on the banks of the river report that the British are very lax in their defenses, and I don't think I should worry too much. After all, the British side has been defeated by us, and the most combat-ready troops should be wiped out on this side of the Weser River. I don't know if the war will last forever, but I know that the war on German soil is coming to an end. The battlefield will then move to the land of the Allied Netherlands, and we will probably also enter the Netherlands to fight. ”

At this time, one of the soldiers sitting around the campfire next to him asked loudly: "Platoon commander, I heard that Dutch women are very open?" ”

"I don't know, I haven't been to the Netherlands, so I can't answer your question."

"I've been to Holland." Hans said to the campfire next to him, "It's actually similar to us over there, and it's hard for well-bred women of good families to get their hands on it, and the dusty women who stand on the street can do anything as long as they give money." ”

"But," James took Hans's words, "if we go to Holland to fight, we will help them drive away the heroes of the British army, and we should be able to enjoy the treatment of heroes." After recovering the city, it will be no problem to ask for a kiss to take advantage of it. ”

James's words caused a whistling sound, but before the soldiers could begin to discuss what type of girl to kiss when the time came, someone shouted from the direction where the chariot was parked: "Hey, guys! I have great news to you, Mr. Lin made a bet with the captured Queen of England that he would make the Queen fall in love with him in half a year, otherwise the Queen would be free! ”

For a moment, the entire camp fell silent, except for the sound of insects in the woods.

The next moment the chatter erupted like a volcanic eruption, and the whole camp was as noisy as a busy market.

The platoon leader walked briskly to the person who had just reported the news, and said in a loud voice as he walked, "Is the source reliable?" Spread a message, I want to confine you in the name of disturbing the morale of the army! ”

Several other officers also stood up, their hands on their hips and looking at the soldiers who had reported the incident.

"Really, the propaganda material that was just delivered by jeep to the battalion headquarters." The soldier held up the paper in his hand and shook it at the officers, "It is clearly written in black and white." ”

At this time, everyone's discussion raised a lot, and everyone talked about Mr. Lin's gambling contract with excitement.

Hans and the three looked at each other, and Wolf shrugged: "This development, I really didn't expect it, it's even more bizarre than the story in the storyteller's mouth." ”

"Mr. Lin would make such a bet," James crossed his hands over his chest, "It's a bit surprising to me, this bet has no chance of winning at all, and then the Queen of England can regain her freedom as long as she insists that she is not in love with Lin Youde—provided that Mr. Lin will abide by the bet, of course." ”

"You don't understand this," Wolf looked like he had already understood, "Mr. Lin firmly believes that he will be able to capture the queen's heart, no, maybe he has captured the queen's heart now, but the queen still doesn't admit it, so he made this bet." ”

"It's unlikely that you will give up your country because of love, right?" Hans shook his head, disagreeing with Wolff's words.

"Isn't there already a lesson from Miss Conrad?"

"That's different," Hans frowned slightly, "Miss Conrad became Mr. Lin's woman after the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Germany merged, and now Britain is still fighting with us. ”

"It's better to do this," said between James **** Hans and Wolfe, "let's make a bet, bet on whether this bet on Mr. Jolin will win or lose." ”

"It's better to bet on how long the queen's chastity can be maintained, I bet it's gone now." Wolf said.
