Chapter 164 The Secret of the Gestapo (First update, please subscribe)
  What was Germany like in 45?
  On the Eastern Front, the Soviet Union's millions of troops were advancing with great success. Not only did they occupy East Prussia and advance into the heart of Germany, they were even advancing step by step towards Berlin, the heart of the Third Reich.

The Allied forces, which had repelled the German counterattack on the Western Front, were launching their final attack on the Siegfried Line. Since Hitler lost this desperate gamble in the Ardennes, the last bit of the German elite on the Western Front was exhausted, leaving only The Siegfried Line, guarded by a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, was obviously unable to stop the Allied attack.

The demise of the Third Reich is only a matter of time!

This is clear to everyone.

But even so, before the empire's demise, the empire's power operating mechanism will continue to operate according to inertia.

Although even a piece of bread has become a luxury item for ordinary Germans in these precarious days, in some special restaurants, there are still a variety of high-end food and drinks available, but only a very small number of people are qualified to enjoy them.

Berlin, who was sitting in the restaurant, looked at the guy in front of him. He was short and fat, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses and a reverse swastika badge on his suit collar. At this time, he was standing there respectfully.

"Mr. Commissioner, it was really my fault that I didn't go to the station to greet you in person. Please forgive me."

Who would have thought that this short, fat guy who looked more like a loan shark than an official was actually the local head of the Gestapo.

"Please sit down, Director Frank, there is no need to be so polite between us."

Although he sat down, Frank was still a little nervous. After all, there must be a reason why the Berlin commissioner came to Cologne at this time.

It's already this time, how come Berlin can still care about this?
  Is there something going on here? That’s why we sent a special correspondent here?

All kinds of thoughts came to Frank's mind for a while.

"I came here this time to perform a special mission. If it is not necessary, there is no need to disturb the place."

That's it, Frank immediately relaxed and said.

"Mr. Commissioner, do you need our assistance?"

"assist……"

After thinking about it, Berlin said.

"I need a train."

Why did Berlin come to Cologne?

For uranium!

"train?"

"Yes, this operation requires a train, and we need to arrange the train to Amsterdam three days later. Is that okay?"

There is of course no problem with this. For the local Gestapo chief, these things are a piece of cake.

With Frank's assistance, the train problem was quickly solved. On the same day, Berlin directed the Rangers who came with him from Berlin to load more than 1100 tons of uranium stored in the industrial zone onto the train.

When loading the uranium onto the train, Berlin was still murmuring in his heart. What is the use of these things?
  Used to make armor-piercing projectiles?
  For people of this era, they simply did not know the importance of uranium, even for the current Third Reich.

Otherwise, how could these precious raw materials be gathering dust in the warehouse?
  Soon, the train disguised as a food transport left the station and headed towards the Netherlands.

……

In February 45, the Netherlands was still shrouded in the cloud of hunger. In September last year, the German occupation authorities issued a ban, cut off all food supplies in the Netherlands, and implemented a comprehensive blockade. A purchase restriction policy is adopted for food distribution, stipulating that residents in the Netherlands can only receive 2 grams of bread per week.

200 grams per week!
  How much is this food?
  To give an example, during the siege of Leningrad, the people in the city ate 125 grams of black bread, the kind mixed with sawdust, every day. This meager amount of bread was all the food a Leningrad civilian could have every day.

But here in the Netherlands, it’s 200 grams…for 7 days, the average is less than 30 grams per day!
  Famine, cold, despair, and death have been hanging over the Netherlands this winter.

In the past six months, people here have only had 200 grams of food per week, which is not even enough for one meal. The hungry people will eat anything edible in order to survive.

Once again, after eating two tulip bulbs, Ada took a swig of ice-cold tap water from the faucet. The water was very cold, but it could satisfy her hunger. Finally, after drinking a full belly of water, Ada raised her head and looked at In the mirror, all that was left of his thin face was a pair of big eyes.

"You must hold on, the war will be over soon..."

Ada encouraged herself again.

"You can have whatever you want to eat by then. Bread, milk, chocolate..."

While she was cheering herself up like this, talking about the food, her saliva almost flowed out.

"Ada,"

Just here, she heard her mother's cry.

"Are you still going to school today?"

"Yes, Wendy is still waiting for me."

Wendy is her dance teacher. Although she is very hungry, she still insists on dancing ballet. For her, ballet may be the only comfort in difficult days, but now, she has not danced for a long time due to malnutrition, but this does not prevent her from going to school.

As soon as she arrived in the classroom, Teacher Wendy winked at her. “Teacher, what’s the matter?”

"Ada, can you go to the train station with me tonight?"

Wendy looked at Ada and said.

"We need to go to the train station. I heard that a batch of food will be delivered today. There may be a chance to buy some food. However, I need a child to accompany me. Do you understand what I mean?"

Ada nodded quickly.

"I understand, I need to tell my mother first that I want to go to the show with you."

Ada, who had helped her teacher deliver letters to the resistance organization many times, understood what she meant from the teacher's words. She needed someone to cover her. They must have stolen food for the resistance organization. Ada, who had not eaten for two days, Food is also needed.

"Okay, if it's convenient, we'll go there at six p.m."

Wendy smiled at Ada and said loudly.

"Ada, let's start today's practice..."

……

"Da da……"

The crisp sound of submachine gunfire echoed in Arnhem Railway Station. Gestapo rangers armed with submachine guns quickly captured the group of thieves who were trying to steal.

"how could this be?"

Like everyone else, Wendy stood there blankly. Ten minutes ago, when the train was replenishing coal water, she, like everyone else, took the opportunity to unlock the carriage door. The door lock was cut, and the moment the door was opened, a gun was fired. The sound rang.

There were actually Gestapo Einsatzgruppe standing in the carriage!

It’s available in every carriage!

How could there be a cover in the car? Almost subconsciously, Wendy drew her weapon like the others, but it was already too late.

Amidst the rapid gunfire, their resistance quickly collapsed.

"Isn't this a train transporting food?"

Ada was not caught. During the action, Wendy did not let Ada get close, but let her watch from a distance. This gave her a chance to escape.

But where will she run to now?
  The station was full of Germans and even German military dogs.

Ada, who was hiding in the corner, was horrified to see a Gestapo walking up to the captured person with a pistol in hand and pulling the trigger.

"boom!"

Suddenly, gunfire rang out!
  The Gestapo actually shot the person who was caught directly. When she saw Teacher Wendy knocked down with one shot, Ada, who was so frightened, couldn't help but scream.

"what……"

"There are others!"

The Gestapo and German soldiers shouted, and for a while the shouts of Germans and the barking of military dogs were everywhere.

Soon, the Germans discovered her!
  "stop!"

Ada's instinct drove her to run, but she was so hungry that she had no strength at all, and she was soon overtaken by the German soldiers. They grabbed her collar and shouted:

"This guy must also be a resistance member..."

"Please, sir, I'm not a resistance member, I really am not..."

Ada tried to plead for herself, but the German soldiers ignored her. Soon, she was pushed in front of the group of Gestapo. She saw the corpses on the ground, including Teacher Wendy, and several underground army soldiers.

"Sir, I, we are just too hungry!"

But the Gestapo didn't give her a chance to explain. The Gestapo changed a magazine and walked up to her. Just as he raised his gun, I don't know whether it was because of hunger or nervousness. Ada's eyes darkened and she was stunned. Fainted.

When she fainted, Berlin, who was standing in the distance, came over. He had seen this girl who was particularly thin before. The baggy and ill-fitting clothes were like a robe on her body, which made her stand out even more. thin.

After she passed out, Berlin frowned. This secret operation could not be leaked, but he still stopped his subordinates who were about to shoot and walked over. Looking at the disheveled hair lying on the ground, the gray cheeks were slimmer and had cheekbones. Looking at the girl on the ground, Berlin thought of his daughter, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what a poor child.

After thinking about it, Berlin said.

"It's just a child...well, take her in the car."
