Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 643
When he heard that his father had been arrested in Germany, De Bruyne, as his son, was not too surprised. His father opposed Mustache in his heart from beginning to end.

This is also the reason why De Bruyne's father forced his son to become a military attache in Harbin.Later, after De Bruyne applied to return to Germany to join the Greater German Regiment, he was scolded by his father.

When he later learned that his son on the Eastern Front was tired of the war, De Bruyne's father used his relationship in the army to send his son to Harbin again.

Yes, De Bruyne remembered, his father transferred himself here through the relationship of Canaris, who was in charge of the German intelligence agency.

Now, his father was also arrested because of Canaris.

De Bruyne wanted to open his mouth to defend himself. It was impossible for him to engage in activities against the head of state in Manchukuo, which was isolated from Germany seven or eight thousand kilometers away, but the pride of the Junkers made him shut up again.

Since his father secretly carried out activities against the head of state, as his son, he should also go to the execution ground with his father.

From Consul Herman to Consul, the five people in the consulate looked down at De Bruyne who was firmly tied up and said nothing.

Now it is impossible to send the unlucky De Bruyne back to Germany, and how to deal with him still has to wait for a telegram from Germany.

I don't know if the German side will send a telegram asking the five of them to hang De Bruyne quietly and dig a hole to bury him.

"Immediately send a report to the German side, saying that we have caught De Bruyne and request the next step." Herman said to one of the consulate staff.

The man said yes, then turned and walked out.

"Go back and rest first." Herman said to the other three.

In the blink of an eye, only Herman and De Bruyne were left in the room.

"My father is not a traitor, he is a German hero! When he was in Africa, he followed General Forbeck and led the indigenous troops to beat the British to death. What he is doing now is also for the motherland!" De Bruyne said.

Herman was silent.

"We can't fight like this anymore, and Germany will be over if we continue to fight! Everyone knows this, but everyone is a coward!" De Bruyne continued.

Herman looked at De Bruyne blankly and remained silent.

"What the hell did my father do?" De Bruyne asked.

This time Herman was not silent.

"They actually used bombs to assassinate the Führer! But the Führer is safe now. Thousands of traitors in Germany have been arrested." Hermann replied.

De Bruyne stopped talking, with a regretful expression on his face.

Herman was silent for a while and slowly walked behind De Bruyne.

De Bruyne, who was lying on the ground with his hands tied behind him, suddenly felt that the rope on his wrist was loose, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Herman who was squatting on the ground in surprise.

"Remember, you broke the rope yourself." Herman said with a blank expression.

"What if I escape?" De Bruyne asked.

"We don't know anything. Of course, if they want to send someone here to punish us, it's okay." Herman shrugged and replied.

After saying this, Herman stood up and walked out.

"Mr. Hermann!" De Bruyne, who was lying on the ground, stopped him.

"You know I have an intelligence station in Macau. I have already prepared it. If Germany fails, I will go to South America from there. Mr. Herman, you can also use this channel. I am waiting for you in Argentina!" De Braun said.

"Okay, we'll meet there in the future." Herman closed the door after finishing speaking.

De Bruyne quickly untied the rope binding his legs with his hands and stood up.

He went to the desk and opened the drawer, put all the money and diplomatic documents inside into his pocket, then opened the suitcase under the bed, stuffed a few clothes with him, and walked out of the room with the suitcase.

De Bruyne slowed down and made as little noise as possible. He walked down the second-floor corridor and down the stairs, then opened the door and walked out of the consulate.

Walking on the road, De Bruyne couldn't help but look back at the two-story building of the German consulate.

It was late at night, and several lights were still on in the consulate.It seems that everyone in the consulate is waiting for him to escape!

De Bruyne subconsciously walked a few hundred meters in the direction of the train station and stopped again.He doesn't have enough money on him now, so he has to ask someone to help him.

De Bruyne turned and walked towards the clinic where Schultz was.

The person in charge of sending the telegram walked into Hermann's office and said, "Mr. Consul, the telegram has been sent, and the Berlin side wants us to wait for a reply."

Herman nodded and said, "You will send a report to Berlin at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, saying that De Bruyne broke away from the rope and ran away while we were not paying attention."

The telegraph operator also had a deadpan expression typical of Germans, so he nodded and turned around to leave.

In the middle of the night, Schultz and Hannah were awakened by a knock on the door.

The pistol hidden under the pillow was already in Schultz's hand when he got out of bed.

"Schultz, are you Japanese?" Hannah asked.There was a little panic in Hannah's tone.

As an intelligence officer, it is this moment that worries me the most.

"Maybe they came to see a doctor, I'll go and see." Schultz said calmly.

Schultz got out of bed and put the hand holding the pistol into the pocket of his pajamas, walked out of the bedroom and came to the door.

"Schultz open the door, it's me, De Bruyne!"

Schultz breathed a sigh of relief and immediately tensed up again.

It was already evening when the two broke up after drinking. Why did De Bruyne break into the house now?Something must have happened!
He opened the door carefully with his left hand, and De Bruyne, who was a little panicked with a suitcase, appeared in front of him.

Schultz looked left and right and there was no one else but De Bruyne and said, "Come in."

He took De Bruyne into the living room and sat down.

But after sitting down, De Bruyne lowered his head and didn't speak for a long time.

Schultz didn't urge him to sit aside and waited quietly for him to speak.Now it seems that something big must have happened, but this big thing should have nothing to do with him.

It took a long time for De Bruyne to raise his head and say: "My father has been arrested in Berlin. It is said that he is engaged in activities against the head of state. Now I escape from the German consulate and want to go to Macau, and then go to South America from there. Can you Give me some money? It doesn’t need much, five hundred yen is enough for me to get to Macau.”

Schultz was stunned for a long time after hearing De Bruyne's words. He was shocked not because of De Bruyne's borrowing money, but because of De Bruyne's father.

"If there is no five hundred, a little less is fine, I still have some on me." De Bruyne said.

His words woke Schultz up, and Schultz hurriedly stood up and said, "Yes! I'll bring it to you right away, you wait here first."

Schultz came out of the living room to find Hannah standing in the hallway.She has regained her composure.She heard all the conversation between the two just now.

The two returned to the bedroom silently.

"Give me a thousand yen," Schultz said.

Hannah bent down and took a box out of the drawer, opening it to reveal a thick stack of banknotes inside.This is the intelligence fund given to the two by the superior.

Hannah quickly counted twenty [-]-yuan yen and handed them to Schultz.This time she was generous.

Schultz silently took the money, turned back to the living room and handed the money to De Bruyne, saying: "When you arrive in Shanghai, first exchange the extra Japanese yen for gold and bring it with you."

De Bruyne was moved to hold the money in his hands.

"Goodbye, friend. I hope we can meet again in Argentina in the future! There are many good friends of my father there, and I will leave you the contact information."

After finishing speaking, De Bruyne took out a pen and quickly wrote a line on the desk calendar on the table, then put away the pen, shook hands with Schultz tightly, and walked out of the clinic with a suitcase.

Schultz stood at the door and watched De Bruyne hurried towards the train station.He turned around and saw Hannah standing quietly at the door.

"Let's report this to our superiors. Maybe our superiors will send us to work in South America because of it," Hannah said.

Schultz looked at Hannah in surprise and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
