New World War II Eagle Strikes the Sky

() The taxi driver's introduction was beyond Ron's expectations.To be honest, Ron really didn't know it was a ghost castle.Actually looking at this majestic castle gleaming in the midday sun, who would associate it with ghosts or anything like that?Ron looked at Nadya, and he found that Nadya not only didn't show a look of fear, but, um, looked a little eager to try.

"Is what you said true?" Nadya asked. "What kind of ghosts are there? Besides ghosts, are there vampires? Do those ghosts have any stories?"

"I haven't encountered a ghost in an old castle," the driver said honestly, "but many people claim to have encountered it. As for vampires, we are not Romania here, and there is no Dracula. In ancient Scottish legends, There are also very few vampires. As for those ghosts, according to legend, some of them are princesses who were defeated and killed in political (river crab) struggles, and some were infected with the Black Death and died in closed dungeons. Miss, you Americans I haven’t experienced the Black Death pandemic, so I probably don’t know about it. But back then, the Black Death almost killed half of the people in Edinburgh. It is said that at that time, the infected people among the nobles would be sent to the dungeons of the old castle. Where are you waiting to die slowly?"

"And what about the common people in Edinburgh?" Nadya asked curiously.

"Oh, the civilians who get sick will be herded into Mary King's Alley. The whole block is sealed off, they can't get out when they go in, and they don't get water for a few days. , they would all die there. That’s why there was a lot of trouble in that place.”

"My God. This, this is terrible!" whispered Nadya.

"So, miss, do you need me to take you back?" the taxi driver asked.

"Nadya?" Ron also looked at Nadya. He no longer needs to rely on methods such as taking his girlfriend to watch a horror movie, and then counting on her to throw herself into his arms because of fear.So he really didn't want to freak out the little swan.

"No! I haven't seen what a ghost castle really looks like." Nadya shook her head firmly, "Although there are always a lot of castles and ghosts in ballets. But in fact, even ordinary castles I haven't been in."

"Aren't you afraid, Nadya?" Ron was a little worried.

"I'm afraid." Nadya smiled, "But I'm very curious, and I really want to see...Ron, will you protect me?"

"Of course, my princess, I am your knight."

……

More than an hour later, Ron and Nadya came out of the castle.

"The castle is a little darker, and there is a little draft. There is nothing there. There are no ghosts floating around, bloodstains flickering, and crying in the dark, nothing at all. Well." Najia complained, probably planned enough to be taken aback, but in the end, she didn't encounter anything, which made her a little disappointed.

"You can be considered to have been educated by the atheism of the Soviet Saturn community since childhood." Ron shook his head, "Don't you know that ghosts and the like are all made up to deceive people?"

"Hmph, isn't it entirely your fault that you can't see the ghost?" Nadya shrugged her nose, "People say that ghosts are afraid of evil people, and with a big villain like you present, of course the ghost wouldn't dare to come out... But, Ron, just now Did you notice the man we met when we came out of the castle?"

"What's wrong?" Ron asked.

"I just think that person is a bit gloomy, like a ghost."

"I don't think so at all. Oh, I heard that the place where ghosts are most likely to be encountered in Edinburgh is not here..."

……

In a blink of an eye, it was already the time when the lights came on, and Ron pulled Nadya out of a closed alley.Nadya's face was pale, and her chest heaved sharply.

"How? Is it exciting this time?"

"It's kind of scary!..." Nadya gasped, "I really heard crying just now, Ron, did you hear that?"

"No, I just heard the wind."

"In the sound of the wind, there was indeed a crying sound." Najia said, "It seemed to be the voice of a five or six-year-old girl. The crying sound was sometimes far away, sometimes near, sometimes in front, and sometimes behind. Also, I felt her touch my skirt and pinch my calf."

"Little girl crying?" Ron remembered a legend about this alleyway called Mary King's Lane.It is said that there was a little girl named Annie who was abandoned in this alley by her cruel parents because she was suspected of being infected.The little girl just walked up and down the alley, looking for her parents, until she died in it.Legend has it that she became a ghost after her death, and she likes to pull people's skirts with her hands.Thinking of this, Ron became a little nervous.

"Are you okay?" Ron asked anxiously.

"My leg hurts, and it's getting worse." Nadya raised her eyebrows and curled up her right leg.

"Let me see!" Ron didn't care about the etiquette anymore, he picked up Nadya, put her on the bench next to the streetlight a few steps away, and looked at Nadya's calf through the streetlight.

"There's nothing there," said Ron. "How about I take you to the hospital?"

Nadya suddenly laughed, and the branches of laughter trembled wildly, and tears were about to come out.

"Fool, you are lying! I have read the story of Anne in Mary King's Lane before."

"You! You bastard!" Ron said fiercely, "I really want to teach you a lesson!"

"Then what are you going to do with me?" Nadya's smile was charming like a black swan.

"The existence of the US First Army Group puts a lot of pressure on us. I believe that the US military may first use more than 100 troops to launch a diversion somewhere outside Calais, France—I personally think it will be Normandy. to distract us and draw our main forces, especially our armored units. Then the main body of the First Army will go straight for Calais. Once the enemy lands, they will go straight for Calais Port of Calais, in order to seize the port. Due to the lack of troops, the loss of the Port of Calais is inevitable. Of course we will destroy the Port of Calais. However, the enemy's engineering capabilities are quite good, and they will be able to restore Calais soon The handling capacity of the port. Then, more than [-] million troops of the US First Army Group will board the ship from Dover and quickly disembark at Calais. Then they will cut off our army along the ** Highway. In that case, the head of state , we may encounter a big defeat on the western front. In order to avoid this terrible situation, we must keep the two ss armored divisions in a slightly rear position. In this way, once the enemy really launches For such an attack, we have a strategic reserve in our hands that can deal them a head-on blow.

As to the question if the enemy, because of our precautions at Calais, should use the troops of the First Army Group in the direction of Normandy, this is my consideration.There was a lack of deep-water ports near the Normandy beachheads.Heavy equipment, especially armor, will be difficult to land quickly.If the enemy army puts in a large force, their landing efficiency will be very low.We can first allow some of the enemy troops to mount up, and when their scale is too large to be a feint attack and the heavy weapons have not been completely mounted, we can seize this time window and use the armored forces of the strategic reserve team deployed on the second line, Destroy the mounted light infantry with one swift strike.In this plan, the biggest problem is the combat capability of our armored forces under the enemy's air attack.In this regard, I asked Reichsmarshal Goering, and he assured me that the German Air Force's desperate attack can support us at a critical time.In addition, the movement of armored forces can also be carried out mainly at night, so as to avoid the enemy's air superiority.I believe that once we have dealt such a blow to the United States and Britain, we will not need to worry about the Western Front for quite a long time. "

The document Hitler held in his hand was a telegram from Marshal Rundstedt, commander-in-chief of the German Western Front.And on his desk, there is another document with a completely opposite point of view.Needless to say, the author of that document was Field Marshal Rommel.

But as far as Hitler's own psychology is concerned, he is more inclined to believe in Marshal Rommel.Rommel was different from those aristocratic officers. He would not deceive himself indiscriminately, and he would not shout "Führer is wise" to his face, but when he turned his back, he said that he was an army blind and could only make trouble.But what Lundstedt said was not completely unreasonable.

"What did Raeder say about the fort at Calais? Can the Allied attack break through the defense of the fort?" Hitler asked.Since the last spy case that tried to destroy the fort was cracked, Hitler paid special attention to the fort in Calais.

"Führer, Marshal Raeder believes that the Allied forces can break through the Calais Fort if they do whatever it takes." An aide replied.

"Bring me a map!" Hitler said.Since the Battle of Moscow.Hitler became more and more fond of looking at maps by himself.

The aide-de-camp spread out a large-scale map on Hitler's spacious desk.Hitler put on his glasses and looked carefully.

"Where is this First Army Group of the United States Army stationed?" Hitler asked.

"Führer, according to the information we have now, they are deployed like this..." The aide quickly replied.

"The enemy's material power is indeed strong. We can only win if we rely on stronger spiritual power. This is exactly the strength of the Germans. Well... the intelligence work on the US Army's First Army Group needs to be strengthened. I I remember that in order to prepare for the Sea Lion project, we planted a lot of spies in England. Inform Himmler, make a plan, wake them up, and let them concentrate their efforts on inquiring about the information related to the First Army Group. Well, this plan is called 'Ghost' ready."
