Soul to the Rhine

Chapter 88 Shocked
Japan finally attacked Pearl Harbor!

Not to mention how long Rosia had been waiting for this day, just talking about history, she was really not very familiar with the history of World War II, at least she barely knew the time.

But as long as you study middle school history, there will be no one who doesn’t know about Japan’s great achievements during World War II.

She still clearly remembers that when she was in middle school, her history teacher was an old man who was so passionate when he gave lectures. When he mentioned the history of humiliation in modern China, his nose would burst into tears, and he would smack his chest when he read every textbook.When talking about the intensification of the War of Resistance Against Japan, he specifically mentioned Pearl Harbor. Rosia still remembers the tone of gloating.

Of course, the object of his schadenfreude is not the United States, but Japan.

Speaking of the attack on Pearl Harbor, everyone would probably think that Japan was stupid and had nothing to do, so it provoked the United States.Because dragging the United States into the battlefield has at least half the speed of its demise.

Rosia didn't know it before. As a science student, she could only read history books in order to pass the college entrance examination. But not long ago, she saw a piece of news in the newspaper in the concentration camp.

She accidentally picked up the newspaper under Elgar's villa, and she probably lost it without even reading it.In fact, in October, when Japan expanded to Southeast Asia, it wanted to establish hegemony in Asia and the Pacific.But how could the United States agree? It joined forces with the United Kingdom to restrict and ban the export of strategic materials such as steel and oil to Japan, and also froze Japan's assets in the United States.

Speaking of which, during World War II, there were countless countries whose weapons were provided by the United States. This weaning would mean that Japan would no longer have strong military reserves to back it up. If the United States continues to stand against them in the future, it will definitely lose.

So the brainless Japan planned a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor and annihilated the Pacific Fleet in one fell swoop.

To be honest, there is nothing wrong with Japan doing this. Anyone with a right mind knows the importance of the Pacific Fleet to the United States, but this fleet is not equal to all of the United States.Japan felt great about being bombed this time. It turned the United States into an enemy early. After two years, it would be able to feel the sour feeling of being bombarded by an atomic bomb.

Rosia really didn't know how Hitler felt when he learned that the two teammates he had roped in were so stupid and stupid.But it is obvious that Japan has done such a stupid thing. As a pure Chinese soul, she can only express her happiness and can't help dancing.She was extremely grateful to the leader who made this plan. By dragging the United States into the battlefield, China would have to sacrifice many fewer people.

The broadcast continues.

"Japan's strategic attack against the United States will shift Japan's strategic focus from China to the United States. On December 12, the Chinese National Government officially declared war on the Axis Powers of Germany, Italy, and Japan.

At this point, the scale of this war has exceeded that of the last world war. New disasters are coming. The world will face another huge destruction, and the people of the world will once again be plunged into fire and water. "

There was a crackling sound on the radio, and the sound stopped.

Aunt Mesa listened for a long time and captured what she was interested in: "China declared war on Japan? Didn't it last for several years?"

Rosia was speechless about Aunt Mesa's military intelligence. She shrugged: "We have been fighting for many years. We have been fighting since the last century. This time it is a declaration of war against fascism."

Fortunately, Aunt Mesa is slow and always knows that she is also a member of the fascist country. However, her optimism has already exceeded Rosia's imagination: "It's okay. China and Germany can't fight anyway, so you still have to live with me." Together.”

Rosia had a crush on her. In any case, the older generation had their own wisdom, just like Aunt Mesa. Maybe she didn't understand the complicated war situation, but she could always see through the most essential things.What she said is also true. Regardless of whether they declare war or not, there is no way that Germany and China can fight each other despite being so far apart.

However, as soon as Japan and the United States went to war, from this moment on, World War II truly entered everyone's lives. Europe, Asia, America, and Australia opened fire on all sides. This was a true all-out war. There was almost no one in the world anymore. A place of peace.

In addition to paying attention to China far in the east, Rosia watches the new European news every day. This is the land under her feet and her life is at stake.

After Japan made such a big mistake, Italy was not willing to lag behind. On the battlefield in Africa, it retreated thousands of miles, and it was not even two minutes into the fight that it was possible to escape.

Hitler's heart didn't know how painful it should be. This was probably the feeling of hating iron but not steel. He recruited all the military power of Germany to create a new world in Europe, but he didn't expect that the two allies he attracted would become a major failure in his life.In desperation, Rommel could only be sent to Africa for support, and part of the air force was also moved there to take over the African battlefield.

However, Germany's population is not large, and the total does not exceed [-] million. Excluding the elderly and children, and excluding women, there are not many young and middle-aged people at all. The main reason for Germany's failure in World War II was because of insufficient support.

In the last two years of the death struggle, almost all of Germany had no young people left, and they were all tied to the death train and buried in the cold and barren land of the Soviet Union.

Now, the family has no other thoughts except hoping that Werner can return safely from the Soviet Union.

More than ten days later, a few days before Christmas, there was still no news from the front line, and no letters were received at home.So Rosia knew that Werner would not be back on Christmas today.And since meeting him in the concentration camp, she has never seen Heinrich again.

Dick had never appeared before her.

In fact, her emotions towards Heinrich were very complicated. She didn't want to have a deep relationship with him, and she even wanted to stay as far away from him as possible.But it is undeniable that she is also very worried about him now.

Before, she only thought of him as a typical Nazi SS youth who was loyal to the Führer, crazy and cruel, and hated Jews to the extreme.Such people usually have the following endings.

They either died on the battlefield, committed mass suicide the moment they learned of Germany's demise, or were captured and shot by the Allies.The SS was notorious throughout Europe and was a criminal organization that was despised by almost everyone. The Allied forces did not even take prisoners when they caught them, and usually shot them directly.Even if they were captured, they would probably be tortured to death in prison or while doing hard labor.In short, there were very, very few SS men who came back alive after the war.

Of course, there are also some people with high ideological consciousness who suddenly repented towards the end of the war and then began to make some amends to atone for their sins.However, this kind of thing obviously has nothing to do with Heinrich, a cruel and stubborn guy.

The only thing that seemed incredible to her was that he saved Pino.

When Rosia thought he wanted to kill someone, he rescued Pino.She didn't know what Heinrich had paid for, but the concentration camp was not a place where he could interfere at will, and the process would certainly not be easy.

She just hoped that Heinrich could live a good life. No matter if he harmed others or continued to follow his leader crazily, as long as he didn't go to the Eastern Front.After knowing him for so long, no matter how ruthless she was, she didn't want to hear the news of his death suddenly.

Rosia has been busy in the hospital all morning, giving the intern nurses a basic rescue knowledge assessment. In the afternoon, she switched shifts with a doctor in the department, and went home first to help Aunt Meisha prepare the things for Christmas.

Even though there are only three people in the family, a grand day like Christmas must still be spent well. At least Aunt Mesa is still looking forward to Werner's return in these two days.

When approaching the door of her house, Rosia saw a man who looked like a postman approaching not far away, wearing a thick padded jacket, and there was a big mailbox behind the motorcycle, and the car stopped in front of her house.

Could it be that he was delivering a letter to the families of soldiers on the front line?
Rosia's heart moved and she quickly walked over.The postman also saw her and pointed at her and then at the apartment behind him with a questioning look on his face.

"Yes, that's right. Are you here to deliver a letter?"

"Yes, but what I'm delivering this time is documents." The postman got out of the car, turned around, rummaged through the large mailbox, and took out a smaller box.

"You are Mrs. Bolton, right?"

"Huh?" Rosia was stunned, and retracted the hand she was about to extend: "No, you are mistaken, I am not."

"Isn't that right?" The postman was confused. He looked down at the address carefully, then looked up at the apartment's house number, and muttered: "No. 17, Dante Street, that's right!"

A world without mobile phones is really an extraordinary pain, and you can't keep track of your mobile phone number.Rosia glanced at the confused postman again and asked, "Is there really no other letter? From the Felinos family?"

"No." The postman shook his head, looked at the box in his hand, and asked unwillingly, "Are you really not Mrs. Bolton?"

Rosia was speechless: "Of course, I'm not married yet."

The postman scratched her head in annoyance, and stopped her when she turned to leave: "What about Pino, is Mr. Pino here?"

Rosia turned around and was also confused: "Pino is here, but this is Felinos's house."

"That's it." The postman handed the thing over directly: "The address is correct and the person is here. Please sign for it."

"..." Is it really okay to be so careless?
She took the small box and saw a postage stamp affixed to it. It turned out to be from a public relations agency in Berlin that manages household registration, identity, and marriage. The recipient was the very strange Mrs. Bolton. There was also a label on the side for collection. Man Pinault.

Damn it, is Henry's last name actually Bolton, and did one of his colleagues in Poland get it?

Rosia carried the things in the door and opened them as she walked. There were many documents in the box, a thick stack, and a small black box. She didn't know what it contained.

She put the box on the flower stand next to it, picked up the stack of documents inside, opened the first one and took a glance at it, and was instantly shocked and speechless.

She shivered and flattened her hands, and looked again, still in disbelief, her fingers were unsteady, and the paper in her hand fell and scattered all over the floor.

What is this?
　Guess, guess, guess~~~
