Soul to the Rhine

Chapter 120
"Germany was defeated, and all soldiers became prisoners and were held in prisoner concentration camps. Germany was divided into two halves by the Soviet Union and the United States, and implemented different social systems..."

Heinrich's worried face gradually turned cold with these words, as if it was the same as the weather at this time: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

Rosia smiled, but ignored him, and continued: "I saw many people were captured. They were sent to Siberia to do hard labor and were not released for many years. There were many poor women in the German rear areas. I’m waiting, and I don’t know if I can come back.”

"What on earth do you want to say?" Heinrich's face looked ugly, and his tone was as cold and murderous as it had been countless times before. But Rosia was no longer afraid of him. The scene in the dream frightened her, and some of her thoughts had been put aside. It’s time to put things out in the open.

"The ones who died the most among these soldiers were German officers, Nazi officers, and Soviet soldiers would brutally abuse Nazi members and seek reparation from these people for everything their motherland had suffered." Rosia looked straight at his cold expression. Eyes, trying to tell him some reality: "In the prison camps, many officers could not bear the humiliation and committed suicide, and many committed suicide the moment Germany was defeated. Even if they endured it, they would be beaten by the Soviets who were in a bad mood. Pick them out and kill them.”

"Women in Germany are also very pitiful. They suffered crazy revenge after the war. They will bear all the mess you have done and left behind. In France, all women who have come into contact with you will be arrested and paraded through the streets. , accept the beatings and insults from others." Those unsightly images appeared in Rosia's mind, and her tone became fierce: "Germany was defeated, everyone is taking revenge, and the whole nation is taking revenge crazily."

She left Paris. She wanted to stay away from the German army from the beginning, but she just didn't want to be implicated in this way.Things developed step by step and got out of control. Many things happened that she had not expected, such as her getting married out of nowhere.She didn't even have to think about what would happen to an officer's wife and family after the war, but the most terrifying thing was that the person in front of her would die.

She recalled all the images she could remember, and it seemed that everything was bad for the Germans.The Soviets hated the Germans deeply and would abuse them in countless ways.Some people had been held captive in prisoner of war camps for ten years. She knew that with Heinrich's identity and character, even if he survived to the moment of being captured, there was a great possibility that he would be singled out and shot by the Soviets, or else , because he couldn't bear the torture and committed suicide.

She knew how arrogant and proud this man was, and she also knew how thoroughly he was influenced by Nazi ideology. At the moment when Germany was defeated, what she feared most was that he would be like those thousands of soldiers, carrying their faith Die together with Hitler.

Heinrich's face could not be seen clearly in the darkness, but his anger was clearly conveyed: "This is just a dream, victory will always belong to Germany."

Rosia knew that this was the case. All German soldiers, including Hitler himself, believed that his empire could last forever. The road in front of them was buried by the war, and they could no longer see anything else.

"Heinrich, you are an officer. I don't believe you don't feel it." Rosia looked at him and said word by word: "Germany cannot win because it is fighting the whole world on its own."

The education Heinrich received since he was a child completely refuted what she said. He was very angry at such a conclusion in his heart, and subconsciously pointed a gun at her, but just raised it and put it down: "I don't know what you want to say What, but Germany has had enough of being oppressed across Europe and we just want to get a living space and that's my responsibility."

"Even knowing it's wrong?"

Heinrich sneered: "The duty of a soldier is not to understand anything, but to execute orders and make sacrifices."

Seeing the familiar expression on his face, Rosia felt her emotions tumbling and thoughts in her mind were chaotic, remembering that Werner had said the same thing before, she felt cold for no reason.

That conversation ended unhappily, and in the end it only caused her own trouble.

But now, she was going to watch this man rush towards death without hesitation again?

"What about me?" Rosia turned around and asked him: "Heinrich, have you never thought about my position?"

"I know you can't escape this damn war, you can't escape the so-called bullshit responsibility, but at least you have to separate your responsibilities." Rosia thought of the one at home that she locked in a corner. When the paper was broken, I had a splitting headache: "What you made, I faced it alone in the end. I was afraid that I would be attacked and retaliated by others after the war, but the most important thing is your little promise now." You can’t even give it to me.”

"You know, there will be wars. It's endless scrambles. I can't believe you're not tired of wars after all this time. Don't you hate those bloody scenes? You think it's really an honor for you to join the war You have to think about the pain of those waiting for you. I don’t want you to be a deserter, but at least you have to promise me that after Germany’s defeat, you have to persevere no matter what torture you encounter, and you always give It’s a reason for me to wait so that I won’t collapse in the future.”

"That's enough, this is just a dream. You don't need to keep stressing that Germany will be defeated." Heinrich stood up quickly, his voice extremely cold in the darkness, like a warning, but also like a determination to himself: "Germany will not If we lose, we will go to the end.”

After saying that, he turned around and walked out, disappearing into the night.

Rosia looked at his leaving figure, and her heart gradually became cold.

This quarrel had no beginning and no end, making her already seriously ill body even weaker.She should have known that this would be the result. No amount of emotion could shake their deeply rooted Nazi thoughts, and they made it so clear that this damn thing couldn't understand the point.She is really crazy to like such a person and be exhausted physically and mentally for his life and death.

Rosia faced the darkness of the cave alone, without even the strength to curl up.After a while, she thought viciously that after the war, if he died, she would immediately tear up the marriage certificate, throw it into the ditch, and then find someone to remarry.

The atmosphere added fuel to the fire for the patient. When Rosia fell into sleep again, she had already begun to cough violently and unconsciously.

Heinrich stood indifferently outside. Hearing the sound of coughing inside, he paused, hesitated for a moment, and then walked in again.

Rosia had fallen asleep against the wall, and her whole body was trembling slightly because of the cold. He looked at it for a while, took off his coat and covered her, turned around and walked out again.

After a cold night, the next day, Heinrich had decided to leave this place. They had to seize the time to get out of the valley, climb half the mountain to another city, and join the German army.Rosia's illness has not improved, and it will also slow down the journey on the road.

Because there was not much food, they barely ate a little to satisfy their hunger.After taking a nap, Rosia acted as if nothing was wrong. She finally figured out that instead of arguing with these ghosts who couldn't wake up even with blood, she might as well wait for them to suffer and wake up on their own.

Rosia's medicine kit was left behind in a room in the refugee camp, and some of the antibiotics she had in it were lost.There is currently no medicine, so the body can only cope with it.She couldn't walk fast, so Heinrich carried her on his back all the way.Originally, according to this devil's cruel temper, he should have left her alone long ago, but he didn't.But because of a few quarrels last night, which touched the bottom line of this guy, the two of them had an inexplicable cold war. No one spoke, and the whole journey was silent and silent.

Near noon, they arrived at a small stream in the valley, but the road ahead was long and there was no intention of ending.

Rosia couldn't bear it any longer and finally asked: "Do you know the way?"

Heinrich paused slightly, then continued to move forward: "You should know."

Well, so be it.

Rosia's condition hardly improved in such a humid place without medicine.After two days of trekking, another fatal problem arose. They had no food.

In fact, this was not the first time they had endured hunger. During the period of their escape from Stalingrad, they had been eating one meal and another.Now that the weather is getting warmer and the temperature in the valley is relatively high, many strange fruit trees have grown fruits, so the two of them can only live the life of savages in the mountains.

But the fruit is sour and nutritious, and Rosia has no appetite at all. She usually spits it out after taking one bite.

After walking for another day, the two of them were still in the valley. Rosia had lost all energy. After lying down on a piece of clean grass, she didn't want to get up and had no strength to move at all.

Compared to her, Heinrich was slightly better off, but not much better. He ate less and exerted a lot of energy, and he had become very thin at this time.

The two of them lay on the grass. Rosia half-opened her eyes and looked at the sky. Heinrich folded his hands behind his head and lay quietly like this for a long time. When Rosia was about to fall asleep, she In a daze, I heard a very soft questioning voice, so soft that it seemed like it didn't exist: "In your dream, was I dead?"

Rosia was stunned for a moment, and then turned her head in surprise.He was also looking at the sky, but his eyes were half-squinted and the corners of his lips were slightly raised, showing a ghostly expression that he had not seen for a long time.

She turned back again, staring at the cloud in the sky, and moved her lips: "Well, you are dead."

There was no sound for a long time. After a while, Heinrich continued to ask: "What about the war? When will it end?"

Rosia was stunned again, looked at him for a while, and then suddenly smiled: "Two years later."

"...Two years, that's still a long time." Heinrich murmured, suddenly stretched out a hand to straighten his collar, and returned to his previous painless elegance: "I hope your dream can come true. hurry up."

What does it mean?
Just when Rosia was confused, he turned his head, his expression changed, and he looked at her jokingly: "If I come back alive, won't you shout to remarry?"

"..." Rosia was dumbfounded: "Blind, what are you talking about?"

"When you were sleeping on my back, didn't you still shout that if I die, you will remarry? And you will swallow up all your property and won't even repair my grave!" He said calmly, but it was inexplicable. He was not angry when he heard this.

However, Rosia's whole body was not well. How could she suddenly talk in her sleep despite how good her sleep was? There was nothing wrong with talking in her sleep, but she cursed people to death.

Nothing more than messy in the wind.

Her mood fluctuated, and she couldn't help but sneezed and coughed a few more times.

"Ahem, um...did I say anything else?" Rosia asked weakly. Don't make any more rebellious remarks.

Unfortunately, things didn't work out as planned. Heinrich glanced at her and said, "You said you wanted me to die early and be born early."

"...Ahem, I'm definitely not talking about you."

"If not, then why did you bite me?" Heinrich accused.

bite?Rosia was immediately horrified: "How is this possible?"

Heinrich immediately went to pull his collar. Rosia opened her eyes wide and saw two rows of deep impressions on his neck.It was impossible for him to bite it on his own based on his position. Could it be that she really bit him?
She turned into a dog attribute while she was asleep?
Heinrich reached out and touched the row of deep impressions, pulled up his collar, and said: "Go back to the medical point and remember to give me anti-rabies injections."

Rosia reached out and grabbed a handful of grass and threw it over. She became angry and said, "You bastard!"

"It's time to go. We need to find a place to rest before dark." He straightened up, stood up from the grass, and stretched out a hand to her.

Rosia didn't want to get up, but she also knew that if she couldn't find a place before dark, she would have to sleep outdoors.

She stretched out her hand to grab Heinrich's hand. She put her other hand on the ground and raised her body. Unexpectedly, just halfway up, the guy above her head let go of her hand like a mischief. She was caught off guard. He fell back again in a daze.

A devilish smile appeared on Heinrich's face, as if it was revenge for her bite. Rosia was in disbelief. She never imagined that he could do such a childish thing, and she couldn't help but get angry. Roar: "Heinrich, you and I are at odds with each other."

A sneer appeared on Heinrich's lips, and he was about to taunt her when he suddenly heard a strange sound in the distance. His expression changed, and he quickly pulled her up and hid behind a bush.

"What, what's wrong?"

It happened so suddenly that Rosia was a little confused.

Heinrich raised a finger as a sign of silence. He took out the pistol with his right hand, pressed it against his clothes and gently pulled it open. An inaudible safety sound sounded.

"Click!"

"Click!"

At the same time, there was a sound of a safety bolt being pulled up behind them. Rosia's eyes widened suddenly and she quickly turned around. At that moment, Heinrich had already turned over and moved quickly against the lawn, his hand moving from A dagger was drawn from the boot.

"boom!"

The sound of gunpowder blasting sounded in the silent valley, echoing in a circle.The bullet shot into the ground not far from Rosia's feet, causing the bushes to shake for a while.

The man's target was Heinrich, but at this moment he was controlled by others.

Rosia was sitting on the ground, her heart pounding, and she slowly raised her hands towards the muzzle of the gun pointed at her in the black hole not far away.
