Soul to the Rhine

Chapter 59

There was an uproar in the car.

"Why do you have to drive us out of the car?"

"Ma'am, please don't misunderstand. The road of the tram is blocked by people, and the car cannot pass. Please forgive me."

"Who is so powerful, blocking the road for no apparent reason? Could it be that group of idle German policemen again!" an old lady said sternly.

She said these two sentences so righteously that everyone around her couldn't help but look at her, including Rosia.The difference was that she didn't have the slightest admiration, she just felt that the old lady was too open-minded.

Let’s not talk about whether this was done by the Germans. Let’s just talk about the Gestapo everywhere in Paris. They don’t wear uniforms all the time, and it is difficult to find them when they are mixed in the crowd in casual clothes.As for the German Nazi intelligence system, Rosia never dared to challenge it. If there was really a Gestapo in this car, then this old lady would have been in trouble.

The waiter rubbed his hands and explained bitterly: "No, it's not them, it's students from the University of Paris. They all ran onto the road. Now there are traffic jams everywhere and they can't get through anywhere."

"student?"

When everyone got off the bus, they realized that they were really students. The whole area was full of students.They were holding banners in their hands, shouting something with angry expressions, and rushed all the way from the direction of Notre Dame.

These students have a purpose and don't care about the mood of the people around them. Many people choose to leave, and a small part of them fall behind the students.

Although Rosia had never seen such a scene in reality, her years of education in Chinese history still made her immediately think of two words: Stop.classes, demonstrations.

It has long been said that young students are the easiest to provoke and get angry.They are full of passion and work tirelessly for the justice in their hearts, but the results are often the opposite.

In Rosia's memory, the most successful student movement was China's May [-]th Movement.Throughout world history, there is no better outcome than the May [-]th Movement.That's because the government went too far, and students triggered strikes by businessmen and workers.

However, it is undeniable that these college students in Paris are menacing and have indeed caused a lot of trouble to the fourth district.

Many slogans were written on the banners in their hands, all of which were against the military court's verdict against de Gaulle, or long live Free France.

Although Rosia didn't understand what happened specifically, the matter involved the French political situation and the Vichy government, and outsiders like her were not allowed to participate.In just a moment, she realized what she was doing and planned to leave. Even if she was walking, she had to leave the fourth area quickly.

It’s just that the reality is cruel. Just like the tram attendant said, there are too many students. They block all the roads and keep moving forward little by little. Many people are squeezed into the torrent before they can leave.

Rosia was hit several times on the side of the road, and an unstable body was also involved.Originally she was struggling, but one of her hands was still hanging on her neck, her balance was extremely poor, and the crowd kept moving forward.She wanted to rush out, but these students were already red-eyed with anger. They were just shouting their slogans and kept moving forward.

Maybe they didn't mean to hurt her, but the crowd was so crowded that her left arm hurt from being hit, her joints ached, and she felt as if her bones were about to break.In the end, she calmed down a little and realized that the students were heading in the same direction as the hospital.He had no choice but to give up the struggle and move forward with the crowd, waiting until he reached the hospital before squeezing through.

A few minutes later, Rosia finally knew why these students came out to demonstrate angrily. It turned out that de Gaulle was sentenced to death by the Toulouse Military Court, deprived of his citizenship rights, and confiscated all property.

De Gaulle is now in the UK, so naturally no one goes out of his way to kill him.But at this time, this verdict means that the French authorities have completely abandoned him.The so-called free France will naturally be strangled in the cradle, and it will lose all strength and support.

Naturally, those who supported De Gaulle were strongly opposed to this result, and the first to bear the brunt were these young students. France is indeed a country that has great freedoms and advocates freedom, but going against the government, even if it is just a puppet government, is doomed from the beginning. their outcome.

It didn't take long for many French policemen to rush out from all the streets and set up a cordon. Many military vehicles drove over to stop them. The students who were blocked were even more angry and rushed forward regardless.

The large number of students made the scene even more chaotic. Several policemen raised their hands and fired into the sky.The sound of the gunshot was like an alarm, and the crowd suddenly boiled like boiling water, but it was anger before and now it became panic.

Countless people began to flee in all directions. The not-so-wide streets could not allow them to escape. The crowd was so crowded that no one knew where the right direction was, nor could they hear what the people around them were saying.

Rosia wanted to go in the direction of the hospital, but the students in front of her were pushing and shoving like crazy. There were several people around her who were unfortunate enough to be involved. They all fell to the ground unsteadily.

Half of the road was blocked, causing more confusion among the students. The police had no control at all and had to throw several silver tear gas canisters into the crowd.Some students thought it was a bomb, quickly picked it up and threw it back.Hands and feet were caught by discarded banners on the ground, and many people were trampled and injured.

By the end, these police officers had begun to rush into the crowd, holding sticks in their hands. When they caught people, they would first beat them up, and then arrest them. More and more police officers were involved, and the students should disperse, but those who were arrested The injured were arrested and sent to the nearest hospital. The student movement that was like a farce ended like this. The streets were filled with desolate scenes after being trampled.

After an unknown amount of time, all the police officers outside disappeared. Many people’s trampled luggage and dirty banners were lying on the road. In the distance, a vague voice seemed to be calling people’s names.

Rosia moved her head, climbed out of the hole behind the wall, looked around, and happened to bump into a familiar figure.

The man happened to see her, frowned and hurried over, squatting down to take her hand: "How are you? Are you injured?"

Rosia was stunned for a moment, shook her head, and then silently looked at her left arm that was stuck and couldn't get out.

Creedy's eyes were cold above, but he still knelt down to help. Werner raised his hand to stop him: "Go to the intersection and drive the car over. If you meet Heinrich, tell others that you have found him. "

Heinrich! ! !

Rosia shrank her head, suddenly unwilling to come out.

Werner moved a brick away from her shoulder and pulled her. His arm was still stuck. He couldn't help but laugh: "I don't know how you got in!"

His voice was calm, completely different from the taunting tone of Heinrich's devilish man. Rosia felt inexplicably relieved and rubbed the messy hair on her forehead into his hand.

Werner reached out his hand to push back her hair covering her eyes, and broke off a brick on the top of her head.

When she was pulled out, she looked back and realized that the hole was really small. It was a miracle that such a big person could get in. Human potential is indeed huge.

The bandage on Rosia's left arm was already dirty. It was covered with dirt, and her body was not much better. A long crack was scratched on her back, and the inside could be vaguely seen.

Werner was silent for two seconds, then suddenly took off his coat and put it on her.

The coat was still a slate gray army uniform, with a row of various medals hanging on it, which made Rosia's eyes hurt.She looked at Werner, who was only wearing a white shirt, and wanted to refuse, but the crack on his back made her hold back.

Werner was very tall, so the coat was very big, covering most of her body, and there was a faint trace of warmth left on it.It made her feel inexplicably safe.

Creedy drove over quickly. It was a military vehicle with a bright Imperial eagle emblem on the front.

Werner walked to the back and opened the car door, letting her get in first.Normally, she would rather walk by herself than get on a German military vehicle on such a busy street in full view of everyone.But now the streets are full of desolation, and her left arm is still aching, and she really doesn't have the strength to drive the [-]th road.

After getting into the car, the comfortable seat immediately made her sigh in her heart, but when she raised her head and saw the person in the passenger seat, she was immediately dumbfounded.

Heinrich raised his head slightly and looked at Rosia in the rearview mirror, with his usual "ashaming" look in his eyes. He leaned back lazily with an unlit stick in his hand. Smoking, the whole person is carefree.

Heinrich is the kind of person who has a strong sense of presence even if he doesn't say a word. The cold Creedy basically loses his aura in front of him.

Werner got into the car and sat next to Rosia.Creedy immediately drove off.

"Is it fun to be in Africa?" Heinrich in front suddenly asked.

"It's okay, it's a bit hot."

It was only then that Rosia knew that Werner had gone to Africa for the past half a month, and he didn't know what order made him run so far.

"Uh-huh, that bastard Fred just came over a few days ago and wanted to drag me along. Eric looked at those damn Jews in Poland. Huh, he didn't do anything good."

Werner smiled: "Isn't Paris very nice?"

Heinrich glanced sideways at Rosia, who was listening silently, and hummed: "I look like you're in trouble, where can I go?"

"..."

Rosia, who was lying silently, lowered his head.

"Why don't I find something for you to do so that you won't be bored?"

"It's such an honor for me that a major is just the nanny of a Chinese girl."

Werner didn't take it seriously: "She is a doctor. She may save your life on the battlefield in the future."

Heinrich snorted coldly: "Are you the only one willing to let her go to the battlefield?"

Werner nodded: "Well, I don't want to give up."

"Humph!"

Rosia: "..."

The conversation between these two people is already at the level of aliens. It contains abnormal and ambiguous words, but the tone sounds normal, as if they are talking about the wind and the moon.She knew it was her who was talking, but she couldn't insert any words.

Credy drove all the way to the Sixth District without stopping. Rosia thought Heinrich was following her all the way to cause trouble for her, but in fact he was just going to Aunt Mesa's house to have a meal.

Aunt Mesa made a big meal inexplicably tonight. She didn't know why before, but now she realized that Werner was back.

Heinrich had a good relationship with Werner and was naturally familiar with Aunt Mesa. He went in familiarly and greeted him politely. Then he sat down naturally and extended his salty hands to the dishes on the plate. .

Rosia didn't want to sit with him. It was time to change the gauze on her arm. She ran all the way to the stairs. When she was about to go up, she subconsciously glanced back and saw a thrilling scene.

Pino ran up to Heinrich in a hurry, stretched out his hand and patted the back of his hand with great force, and there was a loud snap that made Rosia freeze on the stairs.

"Wash your hands before eating!"

Pino crossed his waist, stared, and looked at a certain SS officer in front of him.

Rosia's feet felt like they were rooted to the stairs.Oh my God!Did this ignorant little thing know who he was hitting? It was a Nazi, a Nazi. She had slandered the Nazi in her heart ten thousand times but did not dare to attack him, and it was Heinrich.

It was over, she could already see Heinrich's eyes narrowed, and the gun on his waist was ready to move.

At this time, she realized that Pino's ability to withstand pressure was really strong. If she had been unable to hold on any longer, Pino was still looking at him with his waist bent.

Heinrich narrowed his eyes and looked at him dangerously for a while, then slowly put down the slapped hand, then squinted at Rosia at the stairs, got up and went into the bathroom.

God's right hand!Rosia gave Pino a thumbs up in her mind, and then quickly ran upstairs.

Her arm was hit numerous times today, but surprisingly the injury was not aggravated.The bones were not out of place, and because it was summer, the wounds healed quickly, but the few wounds where shrapnel had entered left scars, which were dark brown and ugly.

After applying some liquid and bandaging it again, she checked her body and found that except for a bruise on her leg, everything else was fine.

Today's student movement happened suddenly. This kind of thing is not recorded in history, and she did not expect it.But maybe it was because she had experienced too many dangerous scenes in the past, but a small demonstration did not have any adverse effects on her. She was so calm that even she couldn't believe it.

After lingering in the room for a while, Rosia couldn't resist her growling stomach, so she went downstairs uneasily.

Werner was sitting next to Heinrich downstairs and was talking about something, while Pino was sitting opposite the two of them, staring at them with big eyes.

Such a brave boy!

Rosia decided that she would hang out with Pino from now on.

The table is already full of dishes, and the tempting aroma is constantly piercing into people's noses.

She pulled out the chair next to Pino and was about to sit down when Aunt Mesa grabbed her and forced her into the seat next to Werner.
