Dawn Redemption

"The head of state has been assassinated!"

Such shouts echoed in the corridor, Finn didn't bother to look for any documents, and walked quickly to the corridor, Thom was frightened by what those people said, he couldn't figure out the situation for a while, and didn't know what to do What, hurriedly followed Finn.

"What did you say?"

Finn walked quickly in front, sideways avoiding the rushing people who were on the way to send messages, and explained to Thom in a low voice: "Coup d'etat! They want a coup d'etat. I think Beckman wants to win Lübeck for this. Listen! The formation you mentioned should have been initiated by people in the Wehrmacht. I don’t know why Beckman would be involved, but it would be very beneficial for them to win over some senior officials of the SS. Stekenbach’s official position is too high, go find him The risk of being exposed in advance is too great, and Lübeck is a good candidate."

Thom nodded again and again, and in a blink of an eye, he saw that Finn had arrived at the door of the section chief's office and knocked on the door.Tom was hesitant to go in, but seeing Finn winking, he followed him in.

"Long live, Hitler!" Finn raised his hand and saluted, although this sentence seems extremely ironic when used now.Lübeck returned the salute. Instead of sitting in his seat, he stood up and paced back and forth, looking quite anxious.

In fact, Fein was in no hurry, and quickly said, "Mr. Section Chief, what should we do now?"

Lübeck looked out of the window worriedly, and there were still only a few sparse figures on the street: "Wait, wait and see what happens, there is no better way. The people in the SS have sworn oaths and must be loyal to the Führer. I must stay here."

He put his hands behind his back and sighed.

Fein asked: "What happened, do you know more?"

Lübeck glanced at him, lowered his voice and said: "I only know that today the head of state held a meeting at the 'Wolf's Cave'. I don't know the details of the assassination, and the head of state is dead or alive, and the news over there has not yet spread. Come here, there is no way to prove it."

Finn let out a "hmm" and began to think about it.

To be honest, he didn't like the Reichsführer at all, very much.And as the situation grew tense, his decision-making seemed increasingly neurotic.

Fein's reason for joining the SS was different from others, so he didn't heartily support the former Austrian corporal like those enthusiastic people.However, he was once amazed at how this man's superb means could gain the trust of almost all the people in such a short period of time, and bring a country that was in ruins back to life.

But those were almost ten years ago.Now things are backfired. While he is frantically clamoring for a bloody battle to the end, the people are struggling in dire straits.

Fein is not a person with a heart for the common people, but he doesn't want to see this kind of life continue.Therefore, when he heard that that person was assassinated, he should be happy.The fact is, his first reaction was to stop it.

It's not out of pity for that person, but subconsciously, he only feels that this country, all citizens including himself, has no capital to continue to toss and face more variables.What's more, he doesn't know who is operating behind the scenes, and he doesn't know who will be pushed to power if the coup is really successful, and whether it will be more terrifying than him.

In the eyes of others, I may be ignorant, and it may seem like a foolish allegiance to the leader.Only he himself knows that everything is involuntary.

"Someone is coming!" Tom suddenly lost his voice in horror.When Lübeck and Finn heard this, they immediately looked out the window.I saw that the outside became more noisy, and in the middle of the road, several trucks full of national defense soldiers came mightily.

After they got out of the car, they surrounded the building of the Ministry of Security, and a small group of soldiers entered the building together with several officers.

"It's time to make a choice." Lubeck stared firmly at the door of his office. He didn't know if he said this to himself, or to Finn and Thom next to him.

A group of people entered the building, and the movement was very noisy.They should have controlled each floor separately. Finn heard the soldiers and staff arguing.Some of the people working here have a military background like Finn, and many of them are pure intellectuals like Richard. At this time, they can only swallow their anger and suffer dumb losses. After all, they are facing soldiers with guns.

Soon they reached this floor.The loud footsteps sounded like they were about to step through the floor. Standing in the office, one could feel the trembling of the floor on which one was standing.

Soon, they came to the door of the office.Finn took a deep breath and saw two officers walking in, two soldiers guarding the door, and the rest of the soldiers continued to move forward, probably not letting everyone in the building go.

The major who came in first walked up to Lübeck and stood still, and saluted him with a military salute.He was very respectful, but Finn knew that the Wehrmacht mostly looked down on SS men, no matter how high their status was.Therefore, seeing Lübeck return the salute indifferently, and his demeanor was even more superior to that person, Fein's admiration for his boss increased a bit.

"Mr. Lübeck." As soon as the major spoke, his tone was completely different from Gongqian's behavior just now, full of arrogance.The lieutenant behind him also smiled arrogantly, it seemed that they had already grasped the overall situation.

"Now that the head of state is dead, why insist on it anymore." The major said coldly, the threat in his words couldn't be more obvious, "I think you need to make a correct choice."

Lubeck still looked at him calmly: "I want to know what's going on."

The major smiled contemptuously: "It's nothing, he's dead, and now the government is under our control." He spoke slowly, "Don't you understand, the era of Hitler is over."

"You?" Lübeck said, "How can you be sure that the Führer is really dead?"

The major and the lieutenant behind him looked at each other, then turned back to Lübeck and said, "Of course, Colonel Stauffenberg saw it with his own eyes. The bomb exploded right in front of his eyes."

A brief silence.

The name Stauffenberg seems to be familiar to Fein. I don't know if I heard it mentioned by Noah, or I saw it in the newspaper.

Even if he hadn't witnessed the incident with his own eyes, it's not difficult for Finn to imagine how much courage and psychological quality it takes to bring the bomb into the heavily guarded Wolfsburg under heavy checks, and bring it to the fort. It was placed next to the head of the empire, and then retreated completely.

"I'm sorry." Lübeck said slowly but firmly, "My honor is loyalty."

The major sneered: "Then, I can only arrest you according to the wishes of the headquarters."

"Section Chief..." Thom, who had been shrinking at the end and dared not vent his anger, whispered.Lübeck didn't turn his head to look at him, but looked straight into the major's eyes without fear: "If you think we surrender so easily, you underestimate our faith."

"Really?!" The major smiled wildly, pulled out the pistol from the holster with a "swipe" and pointed it at Section Chief Lübeck, but stopped when he opened the safety.

Slowly his eyes turned to the right, and he saw the dark hole in the pistol.Behind the muzzle was Finn's cold face.

Just now, Finn stood aside, observing his movements.When he reached for the pistol, no, to be precise, the moment he stretched out his hand, Finn immediately reacted, and quickly drew the gun and pointed it at him.

The lieutenant at the back was about to step forward, but was stopped by the major.He was apprehensive, and he didn't dare to make too much movement for fear that Finn would shoot him, but he still said in a calm voice, "Don't get excited, sir."

"Put down the gun, and speak up if you have something to say." Fein was really worried about what he would do to Lübeck, and tried to make his tone tough.

Unexpectedly, the major was not intimidated by Finn, he still held the gun in his hand, looked at Lübeck but obviously said to Finn: "The speed of drawing the gun is really fast."

"You're not the only one who has fought wars," Finn said.He was very nervous, and the hand holding the gun was almost trembling due to the fast beating heart.

"You're right." The major said, suddenly the light in his eyes flickered, "but now, this is our home field."

He snapped his left hand, and the two soldiers guarding the door rushed in, aiming their machine guns at Finn and Thom standing behind him.Thom gasped in fright, and Finn gritted his teeth, and had to put the gun down slowly.

"Go." The major raised his chin, and put the gun back into the holster leisurely.He put his hands behind his back and turned to go out.
