Redemption of WWII

Austria at the beginning of December is the coldest month of the year, and a light snow that just fell also covered the whole land with a layer of silver-white attire. 【】A train is galloping on a railway line in the hinterland of Austria at this time.The steam locomotive continuously emits white smoke, and the hot steam floats into the sky and disappears soon.

Liu Qi was sitting in the carriage at this time, carefully handling a thick stack of papers, but for some reason, there was always an inexplicable sense of sadness on Liu Qi's face.

Beside Liu Qi sat the old housekeeper and Luo Nan.The old butler reached out to pick up the silver teapot on the table and poured Liu Qi a cup of tea, then said, "Master, we will arrive in Linz soon. The people on the list you gave me are now locked up in a collection near Linz." Inside the camp."

Hearing Philip's words, Liu Qi couldn't help rubbing his face with his hands, forced a smile and said, "Yes, I've been on the train for two days and one night. The bones are almost shaking. It's time to go to the activities It's gone." Then he handed the file to Luonan who was next to him.Said, "You too, this is the situation in the camp there."

After Luo Nan took Liu Qi's file, he said, "School, coming to us is troublesome enough. The matter of the Mauthausen concentration camp near Linz is not easy to solve."

Liu Qi said, "I know this. All the prisoners here are so-called political prisoners. Political prisoners are the most troublesome. No one can release a person from here without Himmler's order. And they are still being sent here every day. According to the calculation of one train per day, it is estimated that 500 people will be executed here every day."

Then Liu Qi asked Philip next to him, "How is our family dealing with the Jewish issue now?"

Old Philip replied, "Basically, the governors of all occupied areas have agreed to our family's conditions and temporarily stopped the policy of large-scale arrests of Jews. However, sporadic massacres of Jews by the SS and Gestapo still occur from time to time. In addition, since the SS is directly responsible for the concentration camps, it is difficult for our people to control them, and we cannot guarantee the safety of the Jews in all concentration camps. In addition, some newspapers controlled by our family have also begun to publish some beneficial to the Jews in a low-key manner. Speech."

Liu Qi couldn't help but frowned when he heard this, and then said, "It's not enough to solve the Jewish problem. We still have to start with Berlin to really solve the problem. Let's finish the things here first." , we're going to Berlin right away."

This is the flipped Ronan saying, "School, I, Mauthausen, Commander Franz Zeres, is a good breakthrough."

As soon as Liu Qi heard it, he immediately asked, "Oh? What do you want to do, tell me."

Ronan said, "This Fratz Zeres has a son..."

…………

The train eventually stopped at the military station in Linz, Austria.As soon as the train stabilized, Liu Qi strode onto the platform that had just been cleaned.Taking a breath of dry, cold and crisp air, he stretched his almost stiff body.

Luonan and all the officers got off the train behind him.However, Luo Nan, who had never been exposed to such cold weather, couldn't help but sneezed twice from the cold.

Seeing this, Liu Qi couldn't help but smiled and said, "Well, the temperature here is cool enough, don't worry, I promise that there will be no mosquitoes when sleeping here. You don't have to complain about being bitten at night and you can't sleep anymore."

Luo Nan gave Liu Qi a resentful look before saying, "You actually said it's cool in such a cold weather. Look, I've caught a cold from the cold. If it wasn't for my father's friend here, I wouldn't be bothered to leave the warm place." The carriages. I miss the days of being bitten by mosquitoes in Africa now."

Liu Qi laughed, patted Luo Nan on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, you will get used to it soon. The old people often say that a tree cannot grow into a towering tree without going through the severe cold. I am doing this for you too. Only when you can grow better can you experience the coldness here."

Luo Nan immediately said, "I'm not a big tree..."

Liu Qi, the whole team, didn't order to assemble, just stood on the platform in twos and threes and gossiping.At this time, a German officer and second lieutenant ran out of the dispatching room of the station.He hurriedly ran to the platform, but what troubled the second lieutenant was that almost everyone on the platform had to raise their hands and shout "Hey, Hitler." There is no way that almost everyone here The military rank is higher than him, and the military rule that the German army must salute the officer first is also one of the regulations that the second lieutenant must abide by.Of course, the German officer responded to the second lieutenant with a salute, while the Italian officers responded to the second lieutenant with an ordinary military salute.

After much difficulty, the second lieutenant saluted to Liu Qi's side.This time, the second lieutenant had found the person he was looking for.The second lieutenant shouted at Liu Qi with a very standard and handsome salute, "Hey, Hitler."

Liu Qi did not return the SS salute like the second lieutenant did, but lightly raised it with his gloved hand, saying that a military salute is not a military salute, and that a raised hand salute is not a raised hand salute.But the second lieutenant didn't do anything to Liu Qi because of Liu Qi's arrogance.The Second Lieutenant said respectfully, "School, I am Second Lieutenant Linge, who is on duty in the Linz Military Train Dispatch Room. I have prepared the cars you want, and all of them are equipped with drivers. You can go wherever you want at any time. "

Liu Qi nodded and said, "Very good, take us there now." Then he said to Cage who was standing next to him and his deputy SS Major Fred, "You each choose 30 officers and come with me. Go to Mauthausen. Others continue to rest on the train. Let the station get some food and drink, but they are not allowed to make trouble. If there is any problem, I will come back and settle accounts with them myself."

After speaking, Liu Qi took Luo Nan out of the station and got into a Mercedes-Benz car parked in front of the station.Then he said to the driver, "Drive."

The driver who didn't know where he was going quickly asked, "Principal, where are you going?"

"Mauthausen." Liu Qi didn't bother to talk much, and directly reported his destination.

To wear the SS uniform, and to go to the Mauthausen concentration camp.The driver who drove Liu Qi couldn't help feeling a little frightened, and sweat dripped from his head even when the temperature was several degrees below zero.He couldn't even move his hands when he started the car.I failed to start the car even after two attempts.

Seeing this scene, Liu Qi couldn't help sighing in his heart, "The SS in this place can be said to be 'popular' and 'famous'." However, Liu Qi didn't want to explain anything to the driver, so he leaned over directly, He grabbed the hand of the driver's ignition and screwed it to the bottom.After the car started, he said, "It's understandable that the car is not easy to start in cold weather. Don't panic. I'm just an ordinary soldier."

The driver was a sergeant major. Hearing that Liu Qi was so approachable, he quickly said, "I'm sorry, Colonel. I was a little nervous."

Liu Qi smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, I won't leave you in Mauthausen just because of this."

Liu Qi's joke almost didn't make the sergeant major's heart skip a beat.He hurriedly concentrated his energy on driving, and never dared to make any mistakes again.From here, we can see how lethal Liu Qi's words of staying in the Mauthausen concentration camp are.

A group of three cars and two passenger cars quickly drove onto the road to Mauthausen.The road to Mauthausen is a dirt road, the road is very bumpy, and there is a river not far from the road.According to the markings on the map, Liu Qi knew that the river was the very famous Rhine in Europe.

Looking at the dense woods passing through from time to time by the roadside, Liu Qi couldn't help sighing, "Most of the local people probably wouldn't have imagined that there would be a hell on earth in the depths of this beautiful and dense forest. Come to beautiful things There may not necessarily be an angel hidden behind it, but it is also very likely that it is a demon."

Less than [-] kilometers away, Liu Qi and his group encountered three or four groups of German soldiers patrolling with dogs and rifles.Moreover, after checking the IDs of Liu Qi and the others, the soldiers kindly reminded the driver that there is already a minefield ahead, so don't go into the forest indiscriminately, so as not to make any mistakes.This made Liu Qi can't help but have a better understanding of the strict control of prisoners in the concentration camp.

However, as we drove forward, some prisoners gradually appeared in the forest. Those prisoners did not have uniform prison uniforms, but just painted a large number with white paint on the clothes.From the top of the clothes, Liu Qi can tell that most of the prisoners here are captured by the Russian army.These people were still wearing the single clothes they wore when they were captured. In this cold winter, they could only stay as close as possible to keep warm.These people were cutting trees, but Liu Qi saw with his own eyes that some of these prisoners fell down while doing it, and then never got up again.And those rules standing aside commanded other prisoners to pull the fallen prisoners directly to the depths of the forest.It was a long time later that Liu Qi knew that the bodies of these dead prisoners of war were pulled to the depths of the forest and abandoned there, and would soon be devoured by the wild beasts in the forest, especially the wolves that haunted at night. .

Faced with this situation, Liu Qi was unwilling to think about it, so he closed his eyes and remained silent.Luo Nan, who was sitting on the side, didn't speak, but just silently listened to the sound of car tires hitting the ground again and again.

Finally, the convoy drove out of the forest, and the terrain gradually extended toward Gaodao.The trees on the side of the road had already been cut down. After turning around the mountain ridge, the convoy finally arrived at the Mauthausen concentration camp.
