Valkyrie Europa

Chapter 284 Democracy
The westward journey was not easy. Those secret sentries and monitors were easy to deal with, but it was very difficult to deal with the last two groups of encircling and suppressing armies.

Even if it is fighting in the forest, with top experts like Adolf and Zhang Ang fighting with all their strength, the 800 people in the party will inevitably suffer some battle damage. There were more than 600 people left, many of whom were injured.

Fortunately, there was no shortage of wound medicine and food in Zhang Ang's ring. He went out a few times by himself and found a few excuses, and brought back enough wound medicine and food for everyone to support Adolf's hometown, Braunau. .

Braunau is not a city, but a small town, a remote town on the border.It is also located on the banks of the Rhine, only one river away from Germany, but it is not a strategic location, and has always been far away from the battlefield. It is mainly engaged in fishing and planting. It is a peaceful and ordinary town, and it is also the hometown of Adolf who grew up. ,

Adolf's father used to be a customs officer in this border town, and this position also made Adolf's family relatively well off.So that he can go to the monastery next to the town to learn the most superficial internal skills instead of farming or fishing in the river, let him go to Linz City not far from the town to learn painting, and can also support his travel expenses, Let him rush to Vienna twice to participate in the admissions assessment of the Vienna Academy of Arts.

However, later Germany and Austria merged, and there was no such thing as customs between the two countries. His father lost his position, and his family fortune gradually declined. After that, his parents passed away, and Adolf also joined the German army. Never returned here, but settled down in Germany.

The house of Adolf's family is not in the small town. Since his parents are devout Jealousy believers, the house was built very close to the church, on the edge of the small town.

After temporarily settling the other members outside the town, Zhang Ang accompanied Adolf towards his house.

No one has cleaned it for many years, and the house of Adolf’s family looks dilapidated. It was originally a two-story exquisite house, but now the door is mottled, the windows are broken, the walls are covered with vines, and the ground is overgrown with weeds.

After standing blankly in front of the house for a while, Adolf took out a copper key from his pocket, ready to open the door of the house.

But the lock was rusted a long time ago. After trying several times, the key still couldn't be inserted into the lock hole, so Adolf had to use all his strength to tear off the whole lock.

As soon as it was opened, a cloud of dust filled the air, choking the mouth and nose.

Fanning his hands, fanning away the agitated dust, Adolf led Zhang Ang into the house.

Seeing Adolf stroking the dusty desks, chairs and cabinets in the room with a look of nostalgia, Zhang Ang said, "Okay, I'll be back when I come back, now this is our base camp! After everyone settles down, Let’s just renovate the house, and this is where we will live in the future!”

"There are more than 600 people left. How are you going to settle down? If you bring them into the town, it's hard to explain so many faces." Adolf asked.

"There are few people in the town, of course it's hard to explain. Which is the biggest city around? Tomorrow, I'll just take people there, go to the city in batches, settle down, let everyone rest for a few days, and then we will officially start development!" Zhang Ang returned.

"If you want to settle down with everyone, let's go to Linz City. It is the capital of Upper Austria and the largest trade center in the north of Austria. The flow of people has always been very large. If there are 600 people, there is no problem at all, and it is not too far from here." Adolf replied.

Then he went on to ask: "Then you talk about development, how do you want to develop like this? Like Berlin at that time?"

"Of course not!" Zhang Ang denied: "The situation in Germany is different from that in Austria, and it cannot be confused. Moreover, our purpose this time is also different. It is to find ways to prolong this war as much as possible, so that those who stay in Germany Comrades have more time to grow and thrive!"

"Then should we do this?" Adolf continued to ask: "You have also seen the scene of the battle between the two armies. A battle involving 10 people will not be affected by the number of people we have now."

"Of course we can't be the only ones." Zhang Ang explained in detail: "The two sides in this war, Germany or France, are both major powers in the world, and they almost did their best to carry out this war. Without enough strength, it is impossible to influence them. Yes! When we come to Austria, the most important thing is to develop our strength first!"

"How to develop?" Adolf was puzzled.

"Whether it is Germany or France that has crossed over, this war is fought for Austria!" Zhang Ang explained again: "It goes without saying that Germany, the Kaiser will not let Austria regain independence in any case, or Belonging to France, he will win this war at all costs! France is different, although I don’t know why they paid such a high price to make Austria independent, but they have a way out! That is, once they are defeated If they find that nothing can be done, they may retreat back home! After recapturing Austria, Germany may not continue to fight against France. If we want to control this war, we need to make both sides feel that it is possible to defeat the other side. We cannot lose It's too miserable, and it's so devastated, especially for France."

"But how could we do this?" Adolf said he didn't understand.

"Because the two countries are not the only ones involved in this war!" After a pause, Zhang Ang continued: "There is also what they are fighting for, this Austria! Austria used to be an independent country, although it belonged to Germany for ten years, but It doesn't mean that all Austrians are willing to let the country merge into Germany and become Germans! Let alone become a vassal of France. Therefore, most Austrians should be very disgusted with this war!"

"What we have to do now is to organize the power of Austria itself! Organize those in Austria who don't want to suffer from war, want to get rid of the control of the two countries, and want to make the country independent, and condense their scattered forces. They can rebel as we want! Rebel against this war! Rebel against Germany and France who make them playthings!"

"This is why I brought so many people here! They will rush to all parts of Austria, and ignite the anger in the hearts of Austrian civilians, nobles, and powerful people! Lead them out! Form them into an army! Become the third participant in this war ! Determine the outcome of this war!"

After a pause, Zhang Ang laughed: "Of course, we must try our best to use this power for us, and try our best to control this power in the name of righteousness!"

"Okay, I probably understand." Adolf nodded: "According to this way of thinking, there is a possibility of success."

"Of course, it's up to people to make things happen, and we'll just go all out." Zhang Ang continued: "The first step is to have a brand new name! It's not okay to call it the German Communist Party. Hmm In this way, our current organization is called the Austrian Democratic Party! It means to let all the people of Austria be the masters of the country and no longer be oppressed by foreign forces. And you will continue to be the leader of the Austrian Democratic Party! Command everyone, after all, you Also a native Austrian, isn't it?"
