Tomorrow's Ark, the journey of hardcore and ruthless people

The generals and staff of Wang Tingjun showed hesitant expressions.The chief of staff looked back at the staff officers behind him, and then continued to report to Tresis: "I think we have to postpone the attack."

"reason?"

People heard the smell of blood in Tracy's voice.

The chief of staff explained with fear: "General, this time it's a new reason. We considered the impact of the two variables of our mobile city defense artillery and Atlas artillery, and made the combat effectiveness of the enemy's newly mobilized troops as high as possible. estimate. However... our campaign preparation progress is still far lower than our plan. According to the schedule, only 30.00% of the progress that should be completed by today has actually been completed."

"30.00%?!" Tracys was more shocked than angry, "What the hell did you do?!"

"Sarkaz is against us."

Tracy was taken aback.

"There has been a tendency among the civilians in the East Kazdare territory that we occupy to refuse to provide us with labor. Dry port workers refused to load and unload cargo and maintain our land speeders, and railway workers refused to inspect and repair our trains. Even the switchmen are fleeing in large numbers.”

Tracy sat down slowly, with an expression on his face as if someone had punched him hard in the abdomen.

"In addition, in our own territory, anti-war sentiments are becoming more and more intense. Soldier casualties, war taxes, and food levies have triggered a large number of opinions from soldiers to civilians, from citizens to farmers. Our administrative costs are... ...rise rapidly."

"..." Tracys was silent. Even the defeat on the battlefield did not make him more depressed than he was now.

His people are against him.

**

Hamburg not only has strong industrial strength, but is also the largest hub of Kazdaele's sparse and unnetworked railways.As the battle line gradually advanced forward, it became Wang Tingjun's top priority to use railways to slow down the pressure on his land transport fleet.

Manfred held his briefcase and wandered around in the stuffy car all night with his secretary and guards.No way, this train is the fastest means of transportation from the front to the rear on the day of departure.

When the train finally stopped on the platform in Hamburg, Manfred couldn't wait to get out of the carriage and stretch his sore body.But during the activity, he gradually began to feel that something was wrong with the surrounding environment.

The military trains coming from the western region of Kazdare were reorganized here, and various materials were unloaded and loaded according to the priority of frontline needs before being sent to the frontline.Wounded soldiers who come down from the front line must be evacuated from here after receiving treatment in rear hospitals and stabilizing their injuries, whether they want to return to their hometown to recuperate or stay in a military hospital for rest.

In such a logistics hub during a war, it is natural to see a busy scene.But Manfred felt that something was really wrong.Although the platform may seem busy at first glance, and everyone seems to be full of energy and working very hard; but if you look closely, you will find that many people are actually doing useless work.

Compared with these more covert acts of sabotage and missed work, people in Hamburg seem to have no intention of concealing their hostility.Whether it was the royal generals in gorgeous costumes or the patrols and sentries holding bayonet rifles, they all looked at the enemy and expressed "greetings".

Manfred shrank his shoulders in displeasure.

At this moment, he heard a rough roar coming from not far away from the platform: "Who did this!"

Manfred turned quickly and looked in the direction of the sound.An irritable old sergeant from Wang Tingjun was yelling at the railway workers passing by him: "Stop, who posted this! It must be you bastards who did it!"

Manfred's eyes followed the short stick in the sergeant's hand and saw a brand new red paper on the support column of the platform ceiling——

White text on red paper is the most dominant feature of East Kazdare’s promotional works.

Looking at the eye-catching Kazdelese words on the paper that penetrated the back of the paper, Manfred suddenly felt a hot emotion.He could tell at a glance that the master writer of this slogan must be full of enthusiasm when he wrote it. He used his own enthusiasm to write a touching sentence:

If we don't go to war!

enemy with bayonet

kill us

He also points to our bones and says:

"Look, this is a slave!"

In reality, the actions of Sergeant Wang Tingjun are confirming the correctness of this little poem.The sergeant pulled out his revolver from his waist, pointed at the railway worker nearest him, and howled loudly at the crowd: "Ten seconds! If the guy who posted this piece of paper doesn't come out, I will interrupt this." Human legs!”

Before the voice finished speaking, the busyness on the platform stopped like a pause on a video.

The surrounding railway workers simply dropped their work and gradually gathered in front of the sergeant.

They said nothing, but their faces were harder and stronger than bayonets and pistols.

More and more railway workers gathered, and what they had in their hands were wrenches, hammers, crowbars and even stones.But there are tense muscles on the arms holding these tools, which are closer to "power" than bayonets.

Patrols rushed over, pointing rifles with bayonets at the railroad workers.The workers who had gathered around slowly stopped.

The sergeant who had been cowering became arrogant again.He shouted loudly: "What do you want to do? Rebellion?! In the name of Prince Regent Tresis, I -"

"That's enough, Sergeant." An indifferent voice came from the side.

Soldiers and NCOs of the patrol stood hastily to attention and saluted Manfred with their guns.The sergeant first showed a horrified expression, then became excited, and even flattered: "General, this officer is—"

"You are making the people of this city hate His Highness the Regent, Sergeant," Manfred said coldly.

The sergeant choked, and at the same time showed an expression of impending doom.

The company commander of the guard company on duty on the station platform, a captain of Wang Tingjun, ran over and shouted to the sergeant, "What are you doing standing there? Get lost!"

"Yes, sir!"

The sergeant angrily stuffed the waving pistol back into his holster, spat at the worker who had just pointed the gun at him, and turned around to leave.

The captain turned to the railway workers and said: "Okay, no one will be shot, and there will be no riots or repression. Go back to work!"

The crowd dispersed and went back to work... No, it's time to go back to work.The captain and company commander had to wipe the butt of his incompetent subordinates at this moment. He came to Manfred and said hesitantly: "General, I ask you not to mind. Our officers and soldiers have been facing great difficulties recently. Psychological pressure can easily spiral out of control.”

"what happened?"

"Resistance movement, Lord General. There have been more than [-] attacks and disappearances in Hamburg in one month. The garrison command has ordered our officers and soldiers to leave the barracks with more than three people and carry weapons."

"The headquarters here didn't tell me any of this. Any news?"

The captain shook his head: "Except that someone never came back, everything is a rumor. We only know that there is a 'Walter' here. What is it? A person's name? The code name of an organization? But we and the citizens Everyone said that 'Walter' did all this."

"Someone didn't come back?"

"I just know one, a friend who likes Heine and Goethe. He was in the same battalion with me, and the lad was not at all expected to be a soldier. Went out to check the sentry and never came back. Officially he deserted, but I know he would never do that. His father would break his legs for smearing the family! Stuff like this, every regiment It all happened."

The captain smiled wryly as he said that, he reached into his breast pocket and took out a cigarette from the crushed cigarette case, then suddenly realized that there was a general in front of him, and hurriedly tried to put the cigarette back.

"If you please, Captain."

So the captain struck the match and lit the cigarette without ceremony.He took a deep breath intoxicated, pulled out a whole centimeter of cigarette ash, and then exhaled a long puff of blue-gray smoke.

The big boss used his keen intuition to make the most accurate summary: "General, if you ask me, there is no point in searching for 'Walter'. I know who he is."

Manfred had a feeling he would get an unexpected answer: "Who?"

The captain flicked his cigarette ashes at the red propaganda banner and pointed to the stretching city in the distance: "Look at this city. It is 'Walter'!"

Chapter 31 Walter defends Kazdale

Following the efforts of Atlas, the work of "Walter" sabotage units and underground resistance groups behind enemy lines was now led by the Kazdael Integrationist Group led by Ernst Thälmann, who was only in name She needs to be responsible for Theresia, and actually mainly accepts orders and support from Atlas.

Being able to command underground organizations behind enemy lines is because Atlas does not engage in micromanagement of "the warning signal must be five potted flowers on the windowsill", and on the other hand Atlas can really solve the urgent needs of underground organizations.The infiltrated radio stations and special operations teams can provide communications and military support for underground organizations, which naturally makes underground organizations that are isolated behind enemy lines willing to trust.

The battle with the "State Secret Police" of the Kazdaele Military Council regime began from the moment the Royal Court Army captured Hamburg.At first, this group of "Gestapo", whose abbreviation was pronounced in Yanguo dialect, used their experience to suppress the resistance elements who dared to oppose the regent.However, as the tip came that "Atlas sent personnel and radio stations into the area occupied by the Royal Court Army", the Gestapo was horrified to find that the situation suddenly became extremely bad.

**

Otto Skorzeny strode on the empty streets of Hamburg in the middle of the night, his oil-stained old coat was a little hot in early summer.But in this season, most Kazdale people have no room to buy new clothes.

Skorzeny unbuttoned three buttons of his coat and quickened his pace.He suddenly ducked into an alley and waited in the shadow of the corner for nearly five minutes.After confirming that there was no one following him, Skorzeny turned around and went deep into the alley. After going around in the complex maze-like block several times, he stopped in front of a wooden door. Knock out the agreed upon secret code.

After entering the door, Skorzeny saw familiar faces.They all looked at him with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.

"The Gestapo station canteen in Hamburg suddenly started to stock up on large quantities of goods... in preparation for a celebration banquet. Huh, they don't have that chance."

Skorzeny sat down at the table where everyone was sitting. He picked up the hot water bottle on the table and poured out the hot water. He picked up the cup and took a few sips: "Now the Gestapo's special operations team is making preparations. These guests Since you are so enthusiastic, we have to prepare a grand welcome ceremony, right?"

The Atlas team members present all sneered meaningfully.

"Very good, the plan remains unchanged, let's get started."

......

Ten minutes later, a group of trucks and jeeps drove in on the streets of this neighborhood.

Among the heavily armed officers and soldiers of the royal court were mixed the Gestapo in black uniforms and civilian clothes.It wasn't until a whole company of Wang Tingjun launched a blockade and completely surrounded the two-story building in front of them that the three Gestapo, who had pistols in their waists and were polite in their movements, walked towards the main entrance of the building.Then he started knocking on the door.

no respond.

The knocking on the door suddenly became rough. It was obvious that the person outside the door had lost his patience. A voice shouted rudely: "Open the door, police! We want to search this house! Open the door now, or we will break in!" "

A moment later, the Sakaz soldier swung his sword and split the fragile wooden door into pieces.Gestapo and Wang Tingjun soldiers swarmed in, occupying every room in the small building from the roof to the basement, and searched every corner carefully.

Nothing was gained and the house was empty.

The soldiers of the Royal Court Army looked at each other, and the Gestapo in black uniforms looked at the Gestapo in suits.The secret service chiefs who can wear civilian clothes still look like they have everything under control.

It wasn't until someone reported finding a locked secret door that the secret service leaders showed their urgency by rushing over to ask questions.

The soldiers' big leather boots quickly kicked open the door——

An explosion exploded, knocking the two Wang Tingjun soldiers to the ground.

Before people could react, successive bangs resounded in every room of the house.Items that seemed innocent at first glance suddenly turned into billowing smoke and flying debris in a detonation.Remnants of limbs, broken arms and even finely chopped flesh and gunpowder smoke smeared on the wall.

When the explosion finally stopped, the soldiers of Wang Tingjun who survived by chance staggered through the rooms and corridors full of fire spots, and the slightly wounded escaped from the small building with the help of the seriously wounded.

The Gestapo men in suits ran the fastest. They rushed out of the door and jumped down the low stairs outside the door. But before he could stand firm on the street, a bullet penetrated his heart.

Bullets were fired from the deserted streets one after another, and the survivors who were caught off guard were shot one after another. The lucky one among the unlucky ones retreated to the cover of the door of the small building at the critical moment, and the shot that should have hit him was All the bullets hit the wall opposite the door, tearing the wall and the wallpaper on it to pieces.

"Automatic weapons?..." The Gestapo field agent felt puzzled, "The gunshots are so small? This is impossible... Where are the people staying outside?"

At this time, there was a strange cold light flickering outside the door.The surviving Gestapo agent looked out cautiously, and he saw strange ripples on the walls of the streets of Hamburg that were pitted by shrapnel during the siege—no, those were not ripples on the surface of the wall. A ripple, something changing in the air between the agent and the wall.

Before the last Gestapo could contemplate what this change meant, a bullet from a silent assault rifle pierced his head.

After the muffled sound of the Wang Tingjun agent's fall subsided, the entire street was enveloped in silence.And as the fluctuations in light subsided, a black figure appeared out of thin air on the street.

Twelve commandos filed in and rushed into the small building that had just withstood the explosion.It has to be said that W's explosive skills are indeed outstanding. She accurately prepared the ingredients and proportions of the explosives, and personally selected the placement location, so that while the officers and soldiers of the Royal Court were killed and injured, even the walls in the room were not damaged. How much is dropped.

Wearing a black combat uniform and optical camouflage cloak that seem to blend in with the night, he wears multi-functional goggles that integrate everything from eye protection to night vision to tactical information display, and in his hand is a micro-acoustic assault weapon that fires special micro-acoustic bombs. rifle.Shuangxing led the "Snow Monster" special forces team members to clear out all the enemies in the small building who were not yet dead in a whirlwind, and fired a shot into the head of the dying Wang Tingjun wounded.

After confirming that all two platoons of Royal Court officers and soldiers and Gestapo agents were dead, the black shadows were just like when they appeared, melting into the darkness of the alley in the fleeting light and disappearing in an instant. No trace.

**

At the same time, in front of the courtyard gate of the five-story red brick building where the Gestapo branch was stationed in Hamburg, two sentries were looking at the girl in front of them with great interest.

The young girl had long black hair that fell to her shoulders, with green highlights.She was wearing a green knitted sweater and jeans, and she was holding a few books. She had an elegant and gentle temperament, spoke frequently, and had a timid expression.She wandered around hesitantly. When the sentries noticed her and came over to question her, she was obviously frightened and backed away. She even dropped the book and didn't dare to pick it up - she didn't have any weapons in her hands. .

The soldiers of Wang Tingjun saw clearly through the lighting. This is a pretty and lovely little girl, whose figure, appearance and temperament are all impressive.The only pity is that he is on duty, at most he can frighten her and take advantage of her.

Facing the bayonet on the rifle, the green-streaked girl's face turned pale with fright, she couldn't even speak very clearly, she even made gestures, and it took several minutes for the two sentries to understand that she was waiting for her boyfriend here.The girl who claimed to be Lunicia said that her boyfriend is Second Lieutenant Wang Tingjun who is on duty in this building. She met in the neighborhood two days ago and asked her to meet here. I don’t know why, but he hasn’t come yet. .

The two big-headed soldiers looked at each other, as if they were thinking of someone.

But they never got the chance to tell.
