The first target plane, in early May 1944, Bern, the capital of Switzerland.

The city of Bern was built in the 12th century and was basically completed in the 18th century.The earliest wooden structure buildings in the city were burned down one after another in many fires in the Middle Ages.Later, when rebuilding, the Swiss chose stone structure.Throughout the city of Bern, there are staggered carriageways paved with gravel, long arches connected to each other on both sides of the street, ancient houses with red tiles and white walls, as well as colorful columns of fountains in the center of the street with allusions, 16th century The clock tower and the late Gothic cathedral in 1421 make this Swiss capital look quaint and quiet inside and out.In addition, it has not been affected by the smoke of World War II for the time being, so Bern at this time is affectionately called a "safe haven" by the European people.

Xu Hui, a native of Hunan in Yanhuang Mainland, is also one of the few senior intellectuals in Yanhuang who have the experience of studying in Europe.After the founding of Switzerland and Yanhuang, he immediately led several people to take a plane, changed several times and changed to ships and other means of transportation, and finally arrived in Berne in a box car, and was in charge of the early stage of the establishment of the embassy of the Democratic Republic of Yanhuang in Switzerland Various preparations.

When he first arrived, Xu Hui couldn't help but compare the transformed capital city of Beijing with the city of Berne in his mind.Objectively speaking, Bern should be regarded as a very convenient and advanced modern city in Europe.However, compared with the brand-new residential buildings, beautiful asphalt roads, orderly traffic lights, well-distributed exhibition halls and libraries, and the convenient underground transportation system, etc. in Beijing New City, it seems somewhat backward, dilapidated and outdated. apathy.

"It seems that Beijing is more advanced and energetic." Xu Hui, who came to this conclusion, instinctively puffed out his chest and straightened his back.

"Mr. Xu Hui, this is the location and venue that our country has prepared for your embassy." German-Swiss William said, pointing to a three-story clean western-style building with a courtyard and walls.

"Well, the location and facilities are very good, thank you very much, Mr. William." Xu Hui, who spent more than ten minutes briefly looking at the environment and facilities inside and outside the house, took off his hat and thanked him.

"It should be, this is also the work directly ordered by Your Excellency Zall. Well, besides, Mr. Xu Hui..."

"what happened?"

"If time permits, can we start discussing in the afternoon, regarding the purchase of penicillin, Switzerland is in urgent need of this special medical drug." William, who had been contemplating for a long time, finally revealed his ultimate goal, smiling with a hint of urgency asked.

"Penicillin? Of course, it's within the scope of my authorization to go abroad."

The Soviet-German battlefield, the headquarters of the German commander-in-chief Manstein.

Since the war was going well, Manstein maintained the well-organized house furnishings and the peaceful frontline atmosphere here.At the same time, Marshal Manstein, who is at the top of the army's food chain, can enjoy extravagant and precious ingredients such as caviar by virtue of the logistics department's somewhat affluent logistics resources for the officer class.

At this moment, in the reception room of the headquarters, His Excellency Bismarck, who had rushed here from Berlin, accompanied by Paulus, was reminiscing with his "old friend" Manstein.

"Your Excellency Paulus, I feel that I have gained a lot of weight recently. It seems that you are living a very good life." Bismarck joked with a smile.

"It still depends on your strong support to us. The frontline soldiers including me can get enough logistical supplies and ammunition replenishment. Thank you again! Also, special congratulations to you, Your Excellency Bismarck, who has won the honor of the great head of state in person. The Imperial 'Grand Cross' (the highest rank in the Iron Cross) and the 'Golden Oak Leaf Double Sword Diamond Knight's Cross' (the highest rank in the Knight's Iron Cross) were issued." Paulus replied with a smile.

The German medal system in World War II was one of the most complicated things at that time. It was basically divided into battle wounds, military exploits, technical grades, battles, and seniority.Among them, the most famous one is the Iron Cross, from low to high, it is the Iron Cross of the Second Class, the Iron Cross of the First Class, and the Knight's Iron Cross (including the ordinary, oak leaf decoration, double sword oak leaf decoration, gold double sword Oak Leaf, Diamond Gold Double Swords Oak Leaf (several ranks) and (Starburst) Grand Iron Cross.

There was only one winner of the "Grand Iron Cross" medal in World War II, that is, Hermann Göring of Germany (who was awarded the honor and promoted to field marshal).He was awarded the honor for leading the Luftwaffe in 1940 to successfully support the Army in the Low Countries and French campaigns.

The "Golden Oak Leaf Double Sword Diamond Knight's Cross" was originally planned by Germany to award the 12 most outstanding officers and soldiers of any rank in the German Wehrmacht, any unit of the Armed Guard, or any auxiliary unit and organization at the end of the Great War and the final victory of the Axis Powers .It should also be the highest honor that ordinary German soldiers can obtain.However, during World War II, the German soldier Hans Ulrich Rudel, with his incredible and unparalleled achievements, forced the German High Command to break the principle and issue it in advance because:

Hans Ulrich Rudel, in less than 6 years, flew more than 60 kilometers in combat bombing, used up more than 500 million liters of fuel, dropped 100 million kilograms of bombs, fired 100 15 rounds of machine gun ammunition, more than 5000 rounds of 37mm shells and more than 5 rounds of 519mm shells.Achievements include the destruction of 150 tanks, 1000 artillery positions, nearly 70 other vehicles, 2 landing ships, 3 la-1 fighters, 2 il-2 attack aircraft, Sank the battleship "Mara", damaged the battleship "Red October", and sank two other cruisers and a destroyer.At the same time, he himself has been shot down 1 times, and has a record of 32 sorties.

His Excellency the False Bismarck won these two medals at the same time, which also showed that the two German regimes hoped to completely tie Bismarck to their own country's chariot through material exchange and spiritual giving.

"Thank you for your congratulations, and I am also deeply honored." Wang Fan, who turned into Bismarck, said politely.

"Your Excellency Bismarck, I wonder how much material you brought this time?" Manstein, who had been looking forward to it for several months, had limited patience. Not long after the remembrance meeting had just started, he asked expectantly beside him.

"You should already know about tanks and armored vehicles. Because of the Normandy landing campaign suddenly launched by the Allies, the high command decided to protect there first, so I only brought 1000 Leopard tanks and 500 Tiger tanks this time."

"What about other aspects?" Paulus has also been used to living a life of abundant supplies for nearly a year.The admiration and reverence from his subordinates brought about by this situation, coupled with the high cohesion of the troops brought about by the abundance of supplies, is what he values ​​very much, so he also followed up with the question at this time.

"In terms of food supplies, I have prepared enough for 400 million troops to consume for 6 months. In addition, various gun barrels, shells, and bullet consumables can also guarantee at least 4 months' needs." Bismarck said calmly, "Of course, Medical drugs are the same amount."

"Great!"

"Long live! Your Excellency Bismarck, do you have penicillin?"

"Cough, it's a pity. I don't have the drug penicillin yet. I've inquired about it. At this time, apart from the Republic of the Stars and Stripes, it seems that only the newly established Democratic Republic of Yanhuang has successfully developed it in large quantities. As for its production process I have tried to investigate, but because of their strict security and complicated drug delivery routes, they had to end in failure. However, I heard from Marshal Goering that you have already planned to establish an air route with the Yanhuang Democratic Republic in the name of the Swiss neutral country to introduce penicillin Is it? It happens that I still have 0 Junkers 52 transport planes in my hand, and I can sell them to you if necessary, but the price..."

"Please rest assured! We have received a telegram from the head of state a few days ago. In the past few days, various troops have collected and stockpiled a large number of folk cultural relics from Eastern European countries. The quantity and quality can definitely satisfy you." Manstein and Paulus are very appreciative of the fact that national cultural relics have become urgently needed munitions on the front line.They gave full play to the earnest spirit of digging the ground and looted all the folk and state collections in Poland, Ukraine, Belarus and other occupied areas. At this time, there are piles of cultural relics in various warehouses, so they are very confident at this moment. road.

"That's great!" Bismarck replied with a smile on his face.

Two days later, Yanhuang Continent, Urumqi, Xinjiang.

The newly built Urumqi No. 30 Airport, which has just been completed and put into use, has now entered a first-level standby state. According to the results of the radio contact just now, the first batch of about 52 Junkers [-] transport planes will arrive from the northwest.

"How long is it?" Xiao Yi, the tower chief, glanced at his watch and asked.

"It will take about 15 minutes." The radar information soldier Zeng Yuan kept watching the radar screen.

"Notify the ground crew, prepare to refuel and install goods." Xiao Yi, the tower chief, nodded and instructed the assistant beside him.

"Yes!"

"Old Xiao, it seems that everything is going well." Standing beside Xiao Yi, Major General Liu Rong, commander-in-chief of the air force of Urumqi No. [-] Airport, said.

"Yes, the weather near the airport is good today. It is estimated that there should be no obstacles or problems for the target fleet to land."

"Old Xiao, please tell the ground crew that most of the cultural relics that are brought down are European cultural relics, so don't play the game of 'throwing sandbags'."

"Hehe, don't worry, Lao Liu, they understand the seriousness. It's just Lao Liu..."

"kindness?"

"I'm curious, why do Swiss pilots speak a fluent German accent? And the location where they flew seems to be the Soviet Union and Germany at war..."

"Stop! Old Xiao, don't ask if you shouldn't. Forgot the confidentiality regulations?! Remember, we are doing business with Switzerland, a neutral country in Europe. As for what planes and pilots they hire, it has nothing to do with us, understand Yet?"

"I understand!"

Two days later, the rear hospital built by the German army in Ukraine.

"Doctor Raul, this is a new medicine that just arrived." Peter, a medical soldier, came over with a cardboard box in his arms.

"Penicillin? Great!" Raul exclaimed excitedly as he looked at the penicillin injection written in German.

In this way, with the joint efforts of Bismarck and the air route from Switzerland to Urumqi, Xinjiang, a large number of folk cultural relics in Europe and some national cultural relics in the German-occupied areas are being transferred to the Yanhuang Continent at a rapid speed.
