Dawn Redemption

Finn wanted to run up to him and punch him on the nose, but if he did he would probably be honeycombed by the two machine guns behind him before he could catch up.He and Lübeck looked at each other, and half cheered and half helplessly looked back at Thom who was so frightened that he was almost unable to walk, sighed, and walked out of the room between the two soldiers.

When I went downstairs, I only glanced at the corridor twice, and was stabbed in the spine by a soldier with a gun.Finn could only swallow his anger and continue walking down.At the same time, SS soldiers were escorted out on every floor, converging on the stairs like a trickle, and it was packed.

The lobby was also noisy, with all kinds of people in it.Finn saw Lübeck next to him show a disgusted expression for a moment, but he hid it again.When I went out, I found that the open space in front of the gate was already full of SS soldiers who had been escorted out.

According to common sense, the number of SS troops stationed in Berlin is also quite large, but at this time the situation is in chaos. No matter how many SS troops there are, there is no one to command them, which is not as good as the prepared rebels.

"Hold your head with both hands!" The gun barrel at the back stabbed Finn's back hard again, causing him pain, "Squat down!"

Finn cast a fierce sidelong glance at the soldier behind him, and that piercing look made the soldier lose some of his strength.

He had never experienced such a humiliating situation, and it was fine to be controlled by others, and it was his compatriots who pointed a gun at him behind him.But no matter what, it would be too reckless to be stubborn at this time, so he held his breath, slowly put his hands behind his head as he said, and squatted down.

The same goes for Thom next to him, and Finn saw that his knees were visibly shaking.After squatting down, Finn looked at him from the side, already frightened.Mr. Lübeck was taken away under escort, and he did not know where he went.

He really wanted to say something to comfort Tom, but before he could speak, he realized that he didn't know what to say, and he didn't know anything about the future.Instead Tom asked in a trembling whisper, "What will happen to us?"

Finn shook his head slightly, lowering his head to avoid attracting the attention of the soldiers, but raising his eyes to look around cautiously.

The SS soldiers are still being escorted out of the building slowly.On the other side, there were several trucks transporting people parked in front of the open space, but the trucks were still empty, and I don't know why they haven't started transporting people away.The major before and several national defense officers stood together, as if they were discussing something.It's just that I didn't see Section Chief Lübeck, and I don't know where he was taken.

Fein wondered, if they really had a complete plan, why didn't they make a quick decision at this time, instead they looked hesitant and undecided.

Suddenly, a gunshot was heard from nowhere.Listening to the sound should not be in this field, it should be a few blocks away.At this time, Fein realized that not only this building, but the whole city was in chaos. The fragile city after repeated bombings was almost crushed by the noise.

If this coup is really successful, not only the German Empire, but the whole of Europe, and even the whole world will change as a result.But it is hard to predict whether it is a blessing or a curse.

Immediately afterwards, there was an exaggerated sniffing sound next to him. He looked over and saw that Tom was already crying, but the tears were not shed, and the whole person was trembling.

"Hello." This time Fein really couldn't stand it anymore, and said softly, "Tom."

Tom heard it, and managed to react. Just as he was about to turn his head, he heard Finn whisper: "Look down and listen, don't look at me."

Tom responded, bowing his head obediently.Fein quickly said: "Don't be too scared, I think things should turn around. Their actions are very disorderly. I suspect that the headquarters itself has not made a clear decision. As long as this is the case, our people may regain control of the situation. "

"Why do you..." Thom raised his head in surprise, Finn didn't say anything, just nodded slowly.

The glare of the afternoon sun slowly dimmed, and squatting there, the legs and feet felt numb at first, and later turned into unbearable soreness.There is no way to stand up for relief, only to shift the weight between the two legs in turn.At the same time, maintain the posture of holding the head, let the arms that have been raised all the time, and the curved spine are as heavy as lead, pulling the whole person down.If you don't keep your mind and clench your teeth and persist, you will fall to the ground unbearably.

The weather was so hot, and he was still wearing a neat uniform on his body.The sun shines on them without any shade or shade.Sweat dripped from the hairline, mottled the face, and the tense back was completely drenched with sweat.

The national defense soldiers who arrested them have also delayed the next step.Finn also saw the puzzled look on the faces of those soldiers, and knew that he was not the only one who couldn't figure out the current situation.How long have you been deadlocked here? 10 minutes?A few 10 minutes or several hours?He couldn't see the watch, and he had no way of telling the time accurately.

However, what he had a vague premonition finally happened.

After the roar, Finn raised his eyes and saw a motorcycle coming at a high speed, and it was almost impossible to stop when it stopped at the door.Then the people in the car got off and rushed over to squeeze among the bunch of officers.

Finn couldn't hear what they were saying, and Tom looked over nervously.Not only them, almost everyone, whether it was the SS soldiers who were squatting or the Wehrmacht soldiers who were in charge of guarding them, all focused on the man who had just arrived.

After a while of discussion, a man who seemed to be the leader stepped out from the group of officers, and hurriedly walked to a relatively central place in the open space to ensure that his words could be heard by everyone:

"The operation is cancelled, evacuate immediately!"

All the soldiers of the Wehrmacht raised their guns, stood at attention, and then quickly ran away in a queue.They retreated as fast as the sudden attack just now. Almost in a blink of an eye, the truck roared away, and all the soldiers evacuated without a trace.

Few foresaw this sudden turn of events.Squatting for too long, even the brain and legs are numb together.It took a while for someone to react and stand up one after another.

Finn stood up slowly holding his knees, he knew that if he stood up suddenly he would be dizzy.Sure enough, Thom who was next to him stood up impatiently and immediately wobbled to the ground. Fortunately, Finn helped him.

"What's the matter? What's the matter?" Tom asked in panic while pinching the painful leg muscles.

Finn also kicked his two legs in turn to relax his muscles. He had squatted for so long just now and felt that his legs were going to be useless.Finally no longer restrained, he looked up and looked around, and finally shook his head: "I don't know, let's go back first? I don't know if the section chief will come back safely, but I guess they won't do anything to him."

It was dark and gloomy.Everyone also walked into the building one after another.It's just that before Finn had time to return to the office, he was called to a meeting by the messenger.

Fein knew that he was attending the meeting in place of Section Chief Lübeck.He has never participated in such a high-level meeting with such a dignified atmosphere.

The conference room is also the largest one. It seems that people from all departments in the entire security department have come.Finn has not yet fully recovered from what he experienced just now, and he is inevitably a little at a loss now.

He saw Mr. Stekenbach, the director of the Personnel Bureau, who he hadn't seen for a long time in the crowd, and he probably figured out where the Personnel Bureau should be located.After all, he didn't know if there was a place for him here.

Since it was an emergency meeting, it didn't take long to start.Finn held his breath, waiting for the main characters to enter.

Everyone stood up and saluted, and the sight of Finn, who was standing at the back, was blocked a lot.But it can also be seen from the gap that Abendroth, as an adjutant, walked in first, and behind him was the top leader of the entire SS State Security Department, who succeeded the assassinated Reinhard Heydrich as minister Ernst Kaltenbruner.

He rushed down to return the salute with a heavy face, and there was a trace of cruelty in his gloomy eyes.

"I just received the direct hotline." He said, emphasizing the tone, deliberately emphasizing these words, "from the Führer, Adolf Hitler, his own hotline."

After he spoke a few words briefly, everyone knew that the Führer escaped the assassination.Originally, Colonel Stauffenberg, who was in charge of the assassination, had indeed completed his task perfectly. He placed the bomb in the venue and then evacuated.

But it seems that God destined him not to die.The box containing the bomb was inadvertently shifted by others, and when it exploded, it was separated from the base of the conference table, which did not kill him as expected.

Moreover, the rebels who met in Berlin were hesitant, and it was not until Stauffenberg himself returned to Berlin that he began to stage a coup.They did not control the communication network, which was also a major flaw in their plan.News that the Führer was alive quickly spread back to Berlin, and SS troops were mobilized to crush the coup.

"On the orders of the head of state!" Kaltenbrenner said.His eyes are like a black panther locking its prey, like a demon watching from the bottom of hell.

"Investigate the assassination, dispatch the Gestapo, don't let anyone involved go away." He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words, "Arrest and execute everyone."
