Soul to the Rhine

Chapter 130 The Future
"Take them all to the Dachau concentration camp and carry out a clearing operation."

"Uncle, will you bury me a little shallower?"

"Time is running out. I believe you will not let me down and you will complete the task well."

"Uncle, please let me lie on my mother's bed for a while. I miss her."

In Munich, the Dachau concentration camp stands quietly in the foothills.Nature seems to have temporarily isolated the air raids, and those terrible bombing sounds have not yet reached this place.

Germany is going to lose.

This is a result that everyone can see. Of course, he also knows that even if he still believes in the head of state and trusts that person, he has to accept this fact at this time.

Because his boss has prepared a way out and plans to escape Berlin in the near future, and he was sent to Berlin to complete this last task. After completion, he will also leave.

But for some reason, his body and soul have become heavier and heavier. This has been the case for the past two years. The situation has become more serious recently. Maybe he is sick.

Eric slowly raised his head and looked at the gray sky in the distance. At this time, he inexplicably hoped that the bombers would come over quickly.

A group of little carrots were forming a square in front of him at this moment. These children were originally guarded elsewhere, but the situation in Germany became worse and worse. The superiors thought that they had lost their value, so they threw them here.

"Uncle, is that okay? Can I go lie down for a while?" A little boy seemed not to feel how scary he was, and kept asking.

The few Nazi soldiers standing around were expressionless, neither sad nor happy, and seemed to have long lost interest in killing Jews.

"Go ahead." Eric said, "It doesn't matter how long you want to lie down."

Because this place will soon cease to exist.

All the skeleton teams in Munich were sent out, and he had to take over the work here even though he didn't want to. This was the last time, and it should be a relief for him.But at this time, apart from heaviness and depression, he couldn't find anything else in his body.

Two years ago, when he met Rosia in Warsaw, he had already submitted his application to go to the Eastern Front battlefield, and in fact the approval was also received.But just as he was packing his things and preparing to leave for Ukraine, he was blocked by another order.

As a qualified and excellent intelligence machine, his superiors believe that his achievements on the battlefield will not be higher than those in the police station or concentration camp. They are good at utilizing talents, so they are unwilling to let him apply to go to the battlefield in any case.

He just lived in this safe and depressed place.

Later, he received news of Werner's death, learned that Zobet had injured his eye, and heard the SS talk about Heinrich going to the Soviet Union.All day long, he thought of those days in the military academy, when he was carefree and willful.

Or they still have faith, and they are willing to scream an oath with their lives and devote all their loyalty to that person.It was indeed exciting at first, but as time went by, as the war continued to expand, and he killed more and more people, he increasingly felt that the breath of death was silent in his life.

In this most deadly war, what is dedication, what is sacrifice, what is bravery.

He didn't even know that he had never been to that kind of place, and had never felt the feeling of fighting with others. All those he shot were souls unable to struggle. At this time, he felt that he was already dead and just a corpse. The walking dead is just an intelligence machine without any thought.

But he still wouldn't doubt that person.

When he walked out of the shadow of hunger and ate the first piece of bread, he swore in his heart that my honor is loyalty, and he has been fighting for loyalty all his life.

It's fine now. As long as he completes the last task, everything will be fine. He will be free and will never have to see such a life again.

The little carrot heads were doing their own thing in this open space. They were very well-behaved, and even with his permission, they didn't do anything beyond the rules.Even when he stood in a daze, the little boy who had been talking ran out from an empty barracks, ran to his legs, and grabbed the hem of his uniform.

"Uncle, I've been lying down for a while, and my mother asked me to find her. She misses me too."

Some of these children already know what death is.Eric slowly took out the gun, loaded it, and pointed it at his forehead: "Are you really lying down enough? You can continue to lie down."

The little boy shook his head: "Thank you, uncle, hurry up."

A man who voluntarily seeks death.

Eric should have pulled the trigger immediately, but he couldn't. Looking into those eyes, he just felt like he was standing in a place of nothingness. There should be no such place in this world.

"Uncle, hurry up."

He was called back to his senses by the urging voice and pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

……

The gunshots did not scare the other children. They even lined up in silence, walked up to him one by one, and looked at him with their eyes open, as if to remember his face.

"boom!"

A child fell down, and the soldiers nearby dragged his body away, leaving a shocking blood trail on the ground.Eric felt his hands begin to shake inexplicably.At this time, with his hearing, he could already hear the sound of air raid sirens sounding in the distance.

"Uncle, hurry up."

Another child was urging, and Eric realized that he had been stunned for a long time. He took a deep breath, and then pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

……

One after another, he changed the first magazine. At this time, all his eyes were filled with blood, and his hands were already shaking violently.

"Uncle, don't be afraid! Yahvi will not punish you." A girl was holding a shabby doll in her arms, tilting her head, revealing her big bright eyes, and whispered softly: "I hope I don't ask for comfort from others. , just to comfort others.”

"boom!"

He pulled the trigger and put his hand down tremblingly.

“Don’t ask for forgiveness from others, just ask for forgiveness from others.”

"boom!"

"Don't ask for caress from others, just ask for understanding from others."

"..."

“For in giving, we gain something.”

The sound of air raids began to sound, coming bit by bit from Munich.There seemed to be some commotion outside the concentration camp, but Eric found that his legs seemed to be rooted in this place, motionless. He began to doubt that he was still alive, and that he was still alive. He felt that he should have died long ago. That's right.

“In forgiving others, we are also forgiven.”

"boom!"

He changed the second magazine, his movements mechanical and stiff. Several soldiers in the distance had already pointed their guns at him. After the gunfire, they fell to the ground silently.

Another little girl walked up to him and calmly recited the last sentence: "When we lose our lives, we will be resurrected and gain eternal life!"

When we lose our lives, we will rise to eternal life!
Eric was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed. He burst into laughter. He had never laughed like this in so many years, and he had never laughed so heartily.The little girl and the long queue behind her were looking at him in confusion.

Eric smiled crazily, laughing until tears fell down. Then he slowly raised the gun and pointed it at himself.

"boom!"

……

Rosia walked to this military camp.

It used to be a barracks for the German garrison, but these soldiers and officers have been captured, and now it is empty.The reason why she came here today was because she heard from Laura that there were many German military dogs left by soldiers in this military camp.

Animals will not bear the sins committed by humans. The Soviet army did not intend to execute these military dogs, but decided to send them to a place for foster care.

The German Blackback is the most famous military dog, and many soldiers are interested in adopting it.Laura also brought a puppy. This puppy was less than half a year old and had not undergone any training. It was plump and very cute.

Rosia didn’t know why she came here, but when Laura asked her if she wanted to come and have a look, she agreed.

After entering a barracks, there was a loud barking of dogs.These trained military dogs recognize their owners and are very aggressive when approached by strangers, so soldiers generally hold puppies that have just been born.

Although these soldiers are fierce on the battlefield, they are still very caring in reality. They like children. When they see children, they ignore everything and rush to hug them.Do the same with the puppies, teasing them with half a cookie in your hand.

"Do you like dogs? If you like, you can hug one. It's fun." Laura led her inside and passed by the camp gate of the trained military dogs. There was a roar inside.Laura walked over quickly, but Rosia couldn’t help but look inside.

All the dogs of the same breed looked similar. At first glance, they were all so dark that she couldn't tell which one was which. It felt like the whole room was filled with twins.

Just as he was about to walk over, a commotion suddenly broke out inside, and a black figure suddenly jumped out of the house and rushed towards Rosia.

Laura was startled and didn't understand why the dog that was supposed to be on a chain suddenly ran out. She quickly took out the gun from her waist, and with a click, she aimed at the military dog.

"Don't shoot!" Rosia quickly grabbed her arm and shouted anxiously: "Don't shoot, Laura!"

The dog was very fast and rushed to her in the blink of an eye. It put its front paws on her legs and looked up at her.

Rosia's heart beat inexplicably fast. She cautiously stretched out a hand, lowered her head and asked tentatively: "Ted?"

It put down its paws, tilted its head and glanced at her, then wagged its tail, and then stopped moving. The old god was staring at her.

It's really Ted!
Although Rosia felt that all black-backed military dogs looked similar, only Mr. Ted the dog could produce this stinky look.She knelt down under Laura's surprised gaze, took off a piece of the chain from Ted's neck, then spread out one of her hands and said with a smile: "Ted, have you missed me? Let’s go home together?”

Ted shook his neck and proudly stretched out a paw to hit her palm, indicating his agreement.

Rosia had long been accustomed to its appearance, smiled, clapped her hands, and stood up.

Laura was extremely surprised: "Oh my God, this dog is so cute. Was it the one you raised before?"

Rosia wanted to shake her head, but she hesitated and nodded: "That's right, I raised it for a while."

"That's great, tell me the secret then!"

Having brought back her old friend, Rosia was very happy that night and cooked a lot of extra meals to feed the dog.The dog is as arrogant as ever, and it seems that the hard life in the military camp has not affected his true temperament at all.

It had been several months in Warsaw, and the post-war turmoil should have almost ended. She planned to return to Germany in the near future.

This was not the first time she had thought about where to live long-term after the war. China still had several years of civil war to fight, and she couldn't go back.It was also impossible to stay in Poland.Considering that Aunt Mesa and Pino are both German nationals, they cannot stay in France for a long time during this internationally sensitive period.Finally, after World War II war criminals like Heinrich are released, it is estimated that there will be no place for him in other countries.After much thought, the only option was to return to Germany.

There is nothing wrong with living in Germany, there is just a major historical problem.

The Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with the Cold War between the two countries. The key is that Germany is half occupied by these two guys, and the Berlin Wall was erected in Berlin.

Under such circumstances, West Germany was the best choice for her to plan her life. She wanted to settle down in West Germany before the Berlin Wall was erected.

Ilana's mother was transferred to Frankfurt when Berlin was bombed, and she was separated from her when she returned.She took Uncle Dog all the way back to Berlin. The entire Germany was now occupied by four countries, and there were many inspections on the way.

When she arrived in Berlin, she found that there was not the turbulent scene she thought. Under the leadership of the Allied forces, Berlin was undergoing post-war reconstruction work, and the streets and alleys were clearing the ruins and laying foundations again.

It's just that Berlin was almost turned into an empty city after being bombed, and overall it was even worse than Warsaw.Here you can see soldiers from many countries, wearing uniforms of various colors and styles.They were very busy, and many of them were architects sent by the United States to direct on the open ground.

Rosia wandered here aimlessly with a dog. She had no goal and no idea where to go. The whole of Berlin had changed, and now no one knew where whose home was.

Rosia wandered around the city for a long time, and finally decided to find the Red Cross working place here to stay temporarily.

She arrived at a place similar to a checkpoint and was stopped by American soldiers. After questioning, she learned that the Red Cross office was now in the Soviet-occupied area.

That was the last place she wanted to go, but it wasn't time for the Cold War yet, so she could just go there and live there for a while.

The Soviet Army's crazy trend of women having sex with women in Berlin has almost passed now. As long as she brings her ID and tries not to go out alone, she is still quite safe. Otherwise, there is a dog uncle who can protect her at least. .

The place where the Red Cross is now settled is not much better, and the people inside are extremely busy. She asked countless people, and it took her a long time to wander around this small place to find her immediate supervisor.

Climbing up to the second floor and knocking on the office door, she saw a familiar face as soon as she entered.

"Hey, Rosia?"

　Eric's part is considered a flashback, because the time of the previous chapters has passed.
