Soul to the Rhine

Chapter 57 Paris
After coming to France for almost three months, Rosia went to three places, stayed in the rear and also went to the front.Suffering from air raids, feeling the war, and even being honorably wounded, it can be said that the life of these two months is richer than her previous life of more than 20 years.It was time to leave Calais, and in the end only Yilanna reluctantly bid farewell to her.

She didn't know how Werner told the hospital. In short, she got the transfer notice smoothly and could leave at any time.When she left, the front door of the hospital was deserted. To say that no one came to see her off because she was not popular, it would be better to say that the way she left was so terrifying that others did not dare to come.

After saying goodbye to Ilana, she got into Werner's military vehicle. The driver was still cold. Rosia had always been afraid of Credy.

Calais is not close to Paris, but she enjoyed the best treatment in the German car along the way. She did not have to sleep in the open, was not short of food, and had a place to sleep.

Anyway, Rosia didn’t know when or where she fell asleep. She only knew that when she woke up, she was lying on Werner’s lap. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Werner’s head hanging slightly above her head, his eyes He closed his eyes tightly, breathed slowly, and fell asleep.

She had just woken up and was in a daze. She didn't feel anything was wrong. The space in the car was still a bit small. Rosia's back hurt a little from the fold. Just when she was about to turn over, she suddenly felt a murderous aura spreading from the front, which made her whole body involuntarily. Chills.

As if Credy always had a problem with her, Rosia struggled to get up from the long legs next to her, and she didn't mean to eat the tofu from his parents, uh...it seemed like she didn't either.

The car moved forward steadily, and Rosia glanced out with half-opened hazy eyes. It was not yet dawn, so she felt sleepy and leaned against the car door and fell asleep again.

When she woke up again, she was alone in the car.Rosia rubbed her eyes and opened the car door. The fresh air outside immediately rushed in. What she saw were strange and exquisite buildings, ancient and grand. Military vehicles were parked next to an avenue, and there were a row of apartments next to them.

Is this Paris?

Rosia was still a little confused after waking up, but this intact building, which had not been baptized by war, still told her that this was indeed Paris.As an undefended city, the German army easily occupied the French capital without firing a shot, and Paris became the best-preserved city in World War II.

There are very few people on this avenue, and occasionally a few pass by in a hurry. When they see the military vehicles here, they will subconsciously avoid them.

Rosia was just wondering where Werner and the others had gone when she suddenly heard an excited cry from behind: "Sister!"

She was so busy that when she turned around, a handsome little boy jumped down from the steps of the apartment. He ran quickly and bumped into her arms.

"Sister, Pino misses you."

Rosia couldn't help but feel soft in her heart. She paused and rubbed his hair with her right hand several times. She held him in her arms and patted him on the back.

"Sister misses Pino too." After a pause, he asked: "How are you doing, are you having a good time with your aunt during this time?"

"Okay, my aunt makes delicious food for me every day." Pino looked at her left hand worriedly: "Sister, what's wrong with your arm?"

"It's okay, I accidentally fell." Rosia smiled and picked him up with one hand, walking up the stairs: "Does Pino know whose apartment this is?"

Pino thought for a while: "Well, it should be Brother Werner's."

"You already know him?"

Pino immediately became excited, "I know him, I know him. I've seen him shoot before. He's so powerful."

"..." Could it be that Pino has been led astray?
This apartment is bigger than Heinrich's apartment in Poland. It has three floors and more than a dozen rooms.The Germans occupied Paris, and they really spared no effort to occupy the French's things. I don't know which unlucky house this place was originally.

Aunt Mesa had just come out of the kitchen and was stunned when she saw the two people at the door. After a while, she covered her mouth with her hands, walked over quickly and gave Rosia a hug: "Good boy, you are finally back, God bless you." ,Amen!"

"Auntie." Rosia's nose suddenly became sore. She had been away for more than two months and experienced many dangers. Whether it was under bombers or on the beach full of corpses, in countless days full of blood and death, she They all gritted their teeth and held on, telling themselves to be strong.However, at this moment, with Aunt Mesa's simple hug, the appearance she had been trying to hold up was easily defeated.

Picture after picture flowed past her eyes like water. Feeling the warmth in Aunt Mesa's arms, Rosia suddenly wanted to cry. All the suppressed fears came back to her. She realized that every moment she was running around outside, she was... She was scared to death, but she held back all her emotions.

Aunt Mesa patted her back gently and choked up a little: "Your job is too dangerous. A war broke out just after you left. There hasn't been a letter for more than two months. I worry every day, and I don't know you are here." Wherever I go, I can only pray every day for God’s blessing.”

"I'm sorry, aunt."

Aunt Mesa let her go: "Don't say that. The year you went to Poland, Werner often sent me letters. He knew your location, and I didn't worry about it. But this time he didn't know you were going to France. I wanted to tell him about it, but the war started, and I didn’t know where to send the letter.”

Aunt Mesa touched her left arm again as she spoke, her face full of distress: "How can a girl like you follow the army every day? We women should wait for their triumphant return at the rear."

Rosia smiled: "I'm fine, aunt. The hospital is considered a rear area, and we are not following the army."

"He also said that I should not have agreed to your mother going to China back then... But, alas." Aunt Mesa stopped talking and pointed to the dining table: "Eat first, Pino, and wash your hands quickly."

The little guy jumped to the bathroom obediently, took two steps and pulled Rosia up again, and washed her right hand with soap and water with his little hands, making her jump with itch.

After Aunt Mesa led the two of them to pray devoutly, there were still only the three of them at the dinner table. Rosia asked strangely: "Where is Werner?"

"He went out again just after he arrived. There might be something going on with his adjutant." The official affairs of the officer were also kept secret from the family, and Aunt Mesa didn't know.

Rosia thought for a while, in mid-June, those who should evacuate were evacuated, Italy declared war on France, Paris was occupied, France was beaten to the last breath, and the rest is probably a matter of surrender.De Gaulle fled to Britain, and it was time for the new puppet government to make peace with Hitler.As for the army, I really can’t think of what it will do, and it can’t be dragged to Africa.

After Rosia sorted out her thoughts, she was quickly conquered by Aunt Mesa's craftsmanship.When she was busy outside, sometimes she couldn't find anything to eat all day long, and she lost her appetite when she had time. This was the most peaceful meal she had had in more than two months.

It's just that extreme joy leads to sadness, and I feel full if I can't control it.Rosia felt so uncomfortable with her enlarged belly that she wanted to cry, and she had to accept the ridicule from the adults and children next to her.

Finally, Aunt Mesa couldn't stand it anymore and gave a hint: "Go downstairs and take a walk. Walk eastward along the avenue to the end. Walk a little further to the left and you will reach the Seine River. The scenery there is pretty good. You can stay until you are hungry." Come back later." He said and couldn't help laughing.

Rosia couldn't bear it anymore and stood up quickly, staring at Pino who was suppressing a smile on the sofa: "This little gentleman, do you want to go down with me for a walk?"

Pino waved his little hand and refused angrily: "No, I want to watch my sister walk like a duck from above."

dead child!Rosia glared at him again and went downstairs unwillingly.I don't know when there were a few more military vehicles with shining imperial eagle emblems downstairs. She just glanced at them subconsciously and attracted the attention of the soldiers nearby.

Nazi!Rosia smiled dryly in return and ran away.

She almost reached the easternmost point in one breath. People and cars were no longer visible in the distance, so she stopped to take a breath.To be honest, she came out of a German officer's house. It wouldn't be a big deal if the Nazis saw her, but it would be a big deal if the French saw her.She still has to live in Paris, and after half a month's vacation, she has to go to the new hospital to report. As time goes by, she will definitely be unable to hide it. Sooner or later, she will be recognized and ostracized to death.

It seems like I have to either change my place to live, or just keep my tail between my legs!
Pressed by this heavy survival problem, Rosia suddenly lost her enthusiasm for the surrounding scenery. She slowly shook her head, sighed for a moment at the beauty of Paris, and then continued to walk forward.

If you turn left again, you will find a longitudinal road, and there will be more people there.Rosia glanced at it casually and noticed something different.Perhaps the reason why Parisians have never experienced war is that they walk and talk very calmly. Even when encountering German soldiers on the side of the road, they don't look sideways, as if well water does not interfere with river water.Occasionally, when they met head-on, they would take off their hats and give a slight salute. Sometimes, you could see a beautiful lady walking indifferently in front of the German soldiers.

After the war ended, these German soldiers also had a holiday. Their shadows could be seen everywhere on the streets of Paris, smoking or talking loudly, and chatting and laughing relaxedly in cafes, without any sign of the ferocity on the battlefield.The whole city has a pleasant atmosphere. It's really two families who love each other and kill each other.

Rosia walked slowly along the street, and soon she saw a sign for the Seine River.For someone who is not good at geography, she only knows about the Rhine River in Europe and has long forgotten the rest.

At this time in the afternoon, there were very few people on the riverside. She was walking slowly under the tall green trees, enjoying the gentle breeze from the riverside, which was very pleasant.

Suddenly someone tapped her on the shoulder, and Rosia turned around to see a young woman with clean brows, a very soft expression, and a bright glow on her face.She walked slowly and slowly, and she must have come for a walk.

"Hello?" Rosia asked politely.

The young woman winked at her playfully, stared at her belly again, and asked with a smile, "How many months are you?"

puff!
"..." She really wanted to tear her mouth open at this moment, why did she eat so much!
Rosia felt that she had been completely beaten in a short period of time.Didn't you just eat a little too much?As for even those characteristics are revealed!

She subconsciously looked at the young woman, she was still flat, only a little protruding, but her hands lightly placed on her stomach could easily tell that this was a lady who was about to become a mother.

"Is it really obvious?" When Rosia saw the young woman glancing at her belly again, she couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.

"It's okay! It looks a little older than mine, it should be more than three months old!"

"..." Houhou, hehe, haha, someone should take this woman with bad eyes away quickly.

Rosia really hated that she had learned some half-baked French, but her French was still usable.In order not to collapse in her heart, she had no choice but to put on an apologetic look, and explained in a hushed tone that her French was not enough to communicate her pregnancy experience. Then, under the regretful eyes of the young woman, she ran away again.

There were many benches under the green shade of the Seine River. Rosia was a little tired after walking for a while. She brushed the fallen leaves on the bench and sat down, planning to rest for a while and then go home.

However, the Seine River seems to be inexplicably lively today, and people are rushing to come here.

"Hi, Xiao Xia, it's really you, I saw you over there just now." Following the voice, someone sat down next to him.

"Be, Tina?" Rosia stared at the woman next to her whom she hadn't seen for a long time.She was not wearing a military uniform, only a plain white dress with piping. It was simple and elegant, without any serious aura from before, and she was almost unrecognizable.

"It's me. I have three months of vacation now to practice art here."

Oh, Rosia nodded: "Congratulations."

"When did you come to Paris?" Bettina turned her head, glanced at her belly, opened her eyes wide, stretched out her hand and patted her hard: "What's going on? Could it be..."

"..." Are you born in the year of Ox? Are you so powerful?Rosia held her stomach in pain, and she would get angry with anyone who mentioned it again.

He bared his teeth and said, "Please be gentle, I just ate a little too much."

"Ha, so." Bettina laughed twice: "Werner is not at home, do you want me to take you out to play?"

Rosia shook her head weakly: "No, I will definitely be played to death by you."

"..." Bettina was speechless for a moment, but she became cheerful again in an instant: "There are really a lot of fun things in Paris. Yesterday I climbed the Eiffel Tower. Alas, it was really a great art. But a commander suggested that I You should wear pants to climb, it will be higher that way.”

Rosia felt even weaker: "Climb... the tower?"

"Yes." Bettina nodded and pointed in front: "Today I also want to see what's different about the Seine River in France, but this water, forget it."

"..."

After taking off her military uniform, Bettina suddenly turned into a middle-class tomboy. Perhaps due to her own reasons, she became much more carefree without the constraints of her military uniform. No one could tell that she was a sniper.

After a small chat all afternoon, Rosia also knew part of her information, Bettina's little legend.Her father was a crazy supporter of the Nazis. He had no ability to join the party, but he sent his daughter to the military academy with a twitch in his head.Although she was discovered later, because Bettina's tactical and military qualities were very high, she made an exception and stayed as a soldier, but without a military rank.

This is typical German patriarchalism. Even if Bettina makes great achievements, she can only be a soldier her whole life.

Maybe it was because Bettina didn't have any pressure after taking off her military uniform, or maybe it was because both of them knew Werner, and after chatting for a long time, they actually became friends.Rosia had no objections to the fact that women were strange creatures.

　Transition, I will start the new plot of 1941 in two chapters. It is recommended that children who like compact plots jump to order, because single orders are very expensive!
