Nine Songs of Anti-Japanese War

Wannsee in the southwestern suburbs of Berlin is a tourist attraction, but it is not a good place to go in the dead of winter.The villa where the meeting was chosen was uniquely decorated and well-equipped. It could have been called warm, but it was unable to warm the people in the hall with the burning fire in the fireplace. After getting the meeting minutes and starting to read them, the faces of the two of them became even more serious. To irretrievable paleness.

Berlin, who sat at the head of the oval table, had the title of an honorary major general in the SS, but he only wore an ordinary cotton coat today, and the tightly-sewn belt made his body straight. "Everyone has seen that the statistics given by Director Heinrich are 1100 million." He said while looking around at the participants, while tucking the corners of the documents with his gloved right hand. After some Jews who could not withstand heavy physical labor and sterilization, there are still as many as 1100 million more robust elements of this race. They are the targets of the "final solution" of this meeting. The preliminary plan has been prepared by the SS Security Department together with The other participants decided that when you return to your post, you will have to cooperate with the government to carry out specific action arrangements. If you don’t understand the minutes, you can bring them up here and resolve them on the spot. The director doesn’t want to have inconsistencies in the execution of orders after returning. accident happened."

The woman in a black dress sitting in the back seat raised her hand.

"Speak, Ms. Bragg."

"One thing I noticed. These European Jews waiting for the 'final settlement' are listed country by country in the statistical tables, and besides Germany and Italy and our allied countries, it also includes Great Britain, the Soviet Union, Switzerland and so on. Excuse me How should the Jews of these countries be resolved?"

Prague spoke slowly and articulated words clearly, but her tone was deduced as indifferent as ice, which was clearly cadenced.She tied her long hair behind her head into an adult bun, which made her youthful and girlish appearance look more mature at a glance, and the pair of blue eyes embedded in her fair face were looking at her motionlessly. Berlin.

"Your question is very good." Berlin raised his jaw slightly to meet her gaze, "These countries and regions are not yet controlled by the Axis powers, so no further plans have been listed, but this is only temporary, and it appears here for Convey a message: Every Jew who has left footprints in Europe will be wiped out, and no one will be left behind. Conquered and unconquered, sooner or later, they will submit to the supreme authority of the Führer. Answer you like this Satisfied?"

Prague nodded: "I understand... But I have an unfeeling request. Can we not include the Jews who work in important military factories in our country in the migration plan? The war machine of the Axis group is fully activated. This critical moment Turning labor into fertilizer is not very ... economical."

"If necessary, you can consider it. You can go back and discuss with the director. He is also your agent protector of Bohemia and Moravia, so he should be able to make a decision based on the facts."

"Mr. Berlin, we are all eagerly looking forward to the moment when the ambition of the statistical table will come true." Warsaw said, "But the Wehrmacht just suffered a setback under the city of Moscow more than ten days ago [Note 1], and the Barbarossa plan against the Soviet Union is still going well." Did it happen?"

Several nervous eyes shot at Warsaw together.Berlin didn't look angry, and said in his usual tone: "As far as the plan itself is concerned, I can't deny that it has failed. We were hindered by the weather and were unable to capture the Soviet capital in a short period of time, and we also failed to subdue the entire Soviet Union as planned. .But that's okay, we'll still win, it's just going to be a little more difficult this year."

Rome smiled and said: "I really hope that the plan has been fulfilled. It's nothing else. Moscow is a beauty anyway. It would be nice to come to us earlier! As for temper, it will be fine after Berlin washes away his blood." .”

Hua Sha took a breath, subconsciously kneading the cuff buttons with nervous hands: "Bloodwashing? This...how can it be done?"

Berlin was about to answer, but Rome with a relaxed face took the lead: "Poor boy, haven't you heard of the Eastern Master Plan? When we wipe out the Soviet Union, most of the Slavs will go to Siberia to spend the rest of their lives, fighting for the new There will be room for the Germans who come. There may be a small number of Ukrainians and White Russians left, but they must also be Germanized.”

It's a no-brainer to pierce that "go to Siberia for the rest of your life" window paper.Warsaw originally had a bad face, and at this time it was in stark contrast to Rome: "I thought the bosses would have a little interest in uniting the Eastern nations..."

"Disappointing you. The French and the British are still the superior race, Slavs? They're worthless, get rid of those who stand in the way, and the rest who can write their names in German, count to five hundred, serve us instead of Adding chaos is the right way." [Note 2] Berlin said coldly, "But Warsaw, why do you sympathize with the Slavs? I don't think everyone present can understand."

"I don't have any sympathy for them. I just ... just think that what we're planning to do is beyond common sense."

"If you can't handle it, don't interfere. Anyway, you have been in poor health for the past two years and have not done any serious business. Be your mascot. Someone will take care of Poland." Berlin glanced at him, "No other problems Let's adjourn the meeting. Put away your meeting minutes, only 30 copies of this thing have been printed at the director's side, and you must not let irrelevant people see it."

As soon as Berlin announced the end of the meeting, Warsaw wiped the sweat from his forehead with a white handkerchief and rushed out the door.Prague straightened the hem of the skirt quickly, and followed suit step by step.Berlin originally wanted to say a few words to Prague, but seeing this situation, he had to give up.

Rome leisurely paced towards Berlin: "You seem to have something to say to that lady?"

"Yes. I want to tell her that she can dress in something other than black for the next meeting. This look is formal, a little lifeless, and not in line with the current beauty trend."

"Then have you ever asked her why she always dresses like this?"

"I made insinuations. She said she liked it, but she didn't say anything else. She has a fairly strong Germanic ancestry. I hope she can express some sincerity to her colleagues as soon as possible."

"I'm afraid it didn't sound like insinuations in her ears. You are still too straightforward. If you want to change to Munich, they might be able to find out more tactfully. As far as you don't leave yourself behind by speaking, you and Warsaw are the same people, and you don't know it. The painful point..."

Berlin interrupted him: "I don't think he hit my pain point. The failure to capture Moscow this time may be a hint that I must go to the battlefield in person, compete with him openly and defeat him, in order to build on our broken friendship. This is a new relationship that is convincing, so that we can hold the vast living space of the Soviet Union in our hands. After the Wehrmacht rests and the new instructions come, I will go to the Eastern Front to participate in the offensive."

Rome seemed to have foreseen it and smiled: "Are you going to the front line? Then how to deal with the resolutions of this meeting and the master plan of the East, and who will be in charge?"

"Hamburg, Munich, Frankfurt, whoever is convenient to do it. If you want me to say that this kind of work shouldn't be handed over to the city, I follow the command of the officer unconditionally, but it's too cheap to treat this kind of dirty work as a career—— A man's honor can only be shown on the battlefield, not in a slaughterhouse." Berlin put the hat handed by the servant on his head, and saluted Rome, "I'm going back to the city, Rome, be careful on the road."

"You too." Rome looked at the slender back of the man who turned around, the smile lines in the corners of his eyes gradually retracted, and whispered the second half of the sentence, "...our Germania."

On February 1942, 2, it was the Lunar New Year's Eve.

Vladivostok was ordered by the High Command to bring some Anti-Union fighters to her city for the festival.After being separated for many years, this girl has a profile that is clearly different from those of the yellow race. The original mild brown eyes are sunken and sharpened, and she is also much taller than ordinary girls from Northeast China.

"The old name Vladivostok is inconvenient to use. You must find it troublesome to call me by my full name. When you are stationed in my city, please call me Vladi." She was wearing a navy uniform and carried a school star on her shoulder to face Shenyang. After talking to Harbin, he ordered the clerk to stay and accommodate the guests, turned around and left without saying a word of greetings.

When talking about her, Peiping and Shenyang were sitting across the same bench making dumplings. "Let me think about it..." Peiping said while hiding the coin in the delicate folds of the dumpling skin according to the custom, "she must want to behave more naturally, not to get close to you, but not too far away. But she is still young, I didn't grasp the scale well, and I felt uncomfortable facing you every second, and finally threw away the secretary and ran away, I would rather be laughed at by you than stay longer."

"Thinking about her expression and movements, it seems that this is indeed the case... You haven't seen it, so the guess is so accurate."

"It's human nature. It's enough to embarrass that girl. After so many years of stumbling and growing up in the frontier, she finally waited for the opening of the direct railway to the capital, and she also had her own Pacific Fleet. [Note 3] Commander-in-Chief of the Soviet Army The Ministry is quite interesting, just ask her to pick you up to the city for the holidays. Have you invited her to the New Year's Eve dinner tonight?"

"It's necessary, and she agreed to ask Binzi to go to the headquarters in person." Shen Yang turned his neck and looked out of the window. The coastal city with buildings scattered among the undulating hills was decorated with solemn white, and the gray sky was silent for several days. , When they talked unpreparedly, snowflakes quietly floated up. "Oh, why is it snowing again? I'll ask Binzi to pick her up later. It would be shameful for her to come here alone in the wind and snow."

Beiping raised his eyes and looked at him with a funny face: "Look at you, you have your brother under orders. You deliver letters for a while, translate for a while, and now you ask him to run errands without any discussion. Sooner or later, he will rise up and rebel."

"I will wait for that day. Don't tell me, he is willing. Among us, Binzi and Vladi get along best. The two little guys are chatting in Russian and Chinese, and no one can get in their mouths." Shen Yang clapped the flour on his hands, stood up and stretched his waist, "I'm done, I'll tell Hamako to clean the front yard immediately, you can rest when you're done, and come out at mealtime."

"No, I've agreed with the cook to help with the cooking. The more helpers to feed such a large group of people, the better." Bei Ping lowered his head while wrapping the pork stuffing without looking at Shen Yang's stunned expression, and added: "I'm not tired. Whatever it is, you can’t eat and live here for free.”

"According to you, the Anti-Japanese League lives and eats for free on Maozi's side!" Shen Yang gave his friend a "no pressure" look, opened the door and left.Peiping still remembered how to cook the dishes which surprised him a bit, and it was reasonable to think about it.Even though he wanted to seek a confirmation, he was afraid that it would remind the other party of unpleasant memories that overlapped with reality, so he might as well keep it in his heart.In October last year, Peiping came to the Far East base where the Anti-Japanese and Korean Resistance Army were stationed. According to him, the diplomatic mission could not be completed due to the outbreak of the Soviet-German War, and there were some remaining problems when he returned home immediately. By the way, help me calm down and think about how to go in the future.What he said was vague, but according to his recent performance, his thinking is almost coming to fruition.After the Chinese New Year, we will probably say goodbye.

There was a commotion in the front yard, it seemed that Anshan had accidentally dropped the broom on Jiamusi's head. "It's all those helpless bastards..." Shen Yang shook his head, suddenly startled by Liao Yang's distant scolding, and walked quickly towards the commotion.

It gets dark early in winter.After everyone finished their work, they sat around chatting in the hall while waiting for the dishes to be served.Mudanjiang played tricks and saw Harbin and Fuladi enter the courtyard with a black umbrella talking and laughing through the small window, and quietly opened the hall door facing them without the two of them noticing, and the footsteps creaked The accumulated snow talked and walked as if there was no one else around.

"Don't be fooled by Mudanjiang's handsome appearance, he is such a bastard. One day you are cheated and you may still help him count the money..." Harbin was talking seriously when he saw the girl beside him suddenly stand still and look straight at him. In the front, following her line of sight, walking over, only ten steps away, everyone in the hall was holding their breaths to look at them.

"Hahaha……!"

The whole house roared with laughter.Harbin blushed and scanned the hall, locking onto Mudanjiang, who was leaning on the window sill, who couldn't stand upright laughing, put the umbrella in his left hand and led Fu Ladi into the room, and with his right hand, he clenched his fist and swung towards Mudanjiang half-threateningly.Amidst the noise of the two fighting and the less serious persuasion of others, the relatively sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner made with limited materials was served on the table with steaming plates, and people’s attention was quickly shifted from watching the fighting to where The most delicious dish, who ate dumplings wrapped in coins and sugar.

"Eating coins means a lot of money, and eating sugar means happiness and sweetness." Harbin tried hard to suppress a pinch of raised silver hair, and introduced to Fu Ladi with the dark circles under his eyes that were hit by Mudanjiang's counterattack, "Of course, These wishes are more urgent in peacetime, but right now, it’s just a matter of meaning, to have a good reunion..."

There will be some cultural activities after dinner and wine, and the avatars of the city will also come on stage to show their talents, or to be more precise, provide jokes.When Shen Yang went upstairs to the inner room to look for Pei Ping, the latter was sitting by the window reading a letter under the lamp.

"Why are you here?" Shen Yang asked, "I remember Xiao Zheng's room next door...that female soldier with a child."

"Her child fell asleep and suddenly woke up, and ran to the stairs to find his mother. I just put him back to sleep." Peiping put away the letter, "You don't need to rush, I will go down immediately, I am not so far away Everything has to get out of the way."

Shen Yang smiled and said, "Then we'll wait and see. This letter was given to you by... Fuladi?"

"She handed it over." Pei Ping also smiled at him, "The letter written more than a month ago, it is common sense to go on the road for two weeks, and I don't know how to get it tonight."

He didn't say much, and it was inconvenient for Shenyang to ask more.Outside the window sills, the snow has not slowed down until midnight, floating in the dark night sky like goose feathers, everything is sleeping in the ice and snow, indifferent to the laughter of the people inside the house.Listening to the snowflakes falling quietly, Shen Yang seemed to be far away from the hustle and bustle of the world for a moment. A trace of sadness filled his heart, and he said softly: "It would be great if Changchun and Jilin were here. Most of Changchun's skills, from riding and archery to sewing, were taught by Jilin. In the past, when they performed on stage during Chinese New Year, they had a tacit understanding that my family members were envious of. You haven't seen it yet, have you?"

"Well, I haven't seen it. I just heard about it...I didn't expect you to take the initiative to mention it to me. The last time I saw you, even if you mentioned a little thing, your expressions would change immediately."

"It's been 37 years since we last met, right? Five years is enough to change a person, let alone just an idea. We still care about it, but... gradually have other thoughts. When everything is still uncertain, the only One thing is certain, that is, he is still our brother and comrade. Then we should also have confidence in him, no matter how late the day when the truth comes, we are willing to wait."

Shenyang and Beiping looked at each other, and they couldn't tell whether they were happy or bitter.Shen Yang sighed softly: "Peking, you have changed too, haven't you? You still have the same temper and serious thoughts, but you have changed."

"We have to be changed by life, otherwise life can't be called life." Peiping put the letter in his pocket, "Let's go down, I'll sing a festive song to add to the fun, let the phoenix return to the nest [Note 4], as long as you don't Who do you want me to play as Erren Zhuan with—"

Shen Yang was grinning to tease him, when hurried footsteps sounded in the stairwell, and Fu Ladi came upstairs.She trotted up to Peiping and said, "Excuse me, I forgot to mention something. Your letter actually arrived a few days earlier, and Lord Moscow asked me to hand it over to you today. By the way, you know... today, apart from China Lunar New Year's Eve, what day is it?"

Beiping was stunned for a second, and hurriedly said: "I see. I am really... grateful, and I will write back to him tomorrow." When the girl left at ease, he glanced at Shenyang, seemingly absent-minded but full of threats: "Forget me, please." , Shenyang, don’t think wildly and don’t speak out, otherwise I can still hit you with a fan on the back of the head just like five years ago.”

"You don't have to worry too much, I didn't hear anything." Shen Yang turned his face and rolled his big eyes.

"The American Volunteer Corps [Note 5] is based at the Central Aircraft Factory in Leiyun. It's not too far away. I can take you to visit it tomorrow. The Japanese planes bombed frequently. When they encountered air raids on Kunming and the Burma Highway, they would attack. Almost every two days in the sky here, you will see those formations of planes painted with shark heads 'hoo--' flying past," Kunming gestured towards the sky with his hands open, and looked back at Nanjing with a smile, "it's spectacular!"

At the end of winter, after a secret visit to India, Nanjing, along with the chairman, his wife, and the foreign minister, took a rest via Yunnan on their way back.At this time, Kunming is cloudy, and the branches are still dotted with raindrops that fell the night before. However, due to the consistently warm climate, it does not make people feel cold, but instead exudes a fresh air.

Nanjing asked: "With such frequent dispatches, wouldn't it be a surprise to see the enemy attack when we visited tomorrow?"

"It won't be empty. I watched the sky for several days and nights, and I was sure that tomorrow will be cloudy and rainy, which is not suitable for air strikes. I don't know for sure at this time last year. At that time, there was a lack of aviation power. How to bomb, so arrogant that sometimes even the escort fighters don’t send a row of bombers. After the volunteers come, they will suffer a lot. Recently, they have started to send a lot of fighter escorts. I wish they would be more slow to respond. It’s better to wait for death It’s only when you light up that you understand what’s going on.”

"Judging from your tone, I wish I could jump on a plane and fight for three hundred rounds by myself?"

"Don't laugh, I really learned how to fly a plane." Kunming stroked his long hair that fell to his forehead, and said very seriously, "I have been familiar with the performance of those P-40s, and I know its water-cooled piston engine and How the radiator works, how to use the trapezoidal monoplane weapon, how to raise and lower the landing gear, and how to deal with the Japanese Zero fighter. The instructor said that after another week of training, I will be able to participate in actual combat.”

"...I'm sorry, I underestimated you." Nanjing pressed his hand on his chest to take a good breath, and looked at Kunming again. This slender Yunnan woman was wearing a light floral shirt and denim trousers commonly known as "work pants". It is very different from the dress of ordinary women. "Is this the costume brought by the female students of the Southwest Associated University?"

"Yeah. Most of them still wear cheongsam, and those in the lower grades prefer it. It's probably a dress brought over by the girls from Peking. If you wear it too much, it will become popular."

"It's so popular that you are infected?"

"The trousers are so convenient. How can I fly a plane without them? It's nothing strange... It's strange that you just noticed that I've been wearing them for two days?"

"Men are not sensitive to clothes." Nanjing smiled, showing a slightly defeated expression.

"Okay, let's not talk about it. Has India agreed to establish a material storage and transportation station? How about the people in Delhi, how is their attitude?"

"Agreed. But actually...we're not talking about Delhi, we're talking about Calcutta. The ulterior motives, in that sense, the diplomacy has failed."

"You don't look very happy. Come on, you go back and change out of your military uniform first. We'll go to the teahouse outside Daximen after a while. After a few bowls of tea, your heart will be relieved. Oh, it's not like going to a decent place." Big teahouse," Kunming saw Nanjing's hesitant expression, and quickly sped up his speech, "their doorposts always have a "Moshang State Affairs" posted on them. Although there is a Yunnan opera performance, I don't think outsiders can understand it—— We go to the small teahouse, which is next to the school, and the atmosphere is relaxed, and we can say anything without being afraid of being heard."

The two strolled around the noisy Daximen for half a circle, and sat down in a clean and not too crowded small teahouse on Fengzhu Street.I ordered a few snacks and two local black teas. The color of Dianhong soaked in a tureen was as thick as wine. The horse-riding horse lit the leaf smoke and slowly exhaled a smoke ring towards the door, floating on the street with people coming and going. A world of mortals is rolling... Once you sit in the teahouse, you can deeply understand how solid daily life is, and even wars and air raids can't move it a little bit.

"I'm not angry, I'm not complaining, I'm not even disappointed. I just feel..." Nanjing propped his chin, listening to the uninterrupted yelling from far and near, "Even with our existence, people are still too different gone."

"Understandable. India has always been a, er, amazing country?"

"This trip to India is to exchange views with the Governor of Great Britain and India on cooperation in the fight against aggression, and to discuss the establishment of a strategic material storage and transportation station in India. But the committee still wants to take more active actions. Thinking of the Pearl Harbor incident, the Allied Forces We have lost successively on the Pacific battlefield, and the flames of war are burning towards the gate of India. We just won our third victory in Changsha at the beginning of the year [Note 6]. Your Flying Tigers in Kunming also brought exciting news to the international community. In terms of diplomacy Using force might be a good idea. You know about the British-Indian rift, don't you?"

Kunming picked up a piece of hibiscus cake, with mixed expressions: "Not only do I know, I can count the number of times India's national independence movement took place in the past two years, the approximate number of participants, and the number of statements issued by the Congress Party. You Does it mean that the actual purpose of this trip is to mediate the conflict between their colonists and resisters?"

"That's right. But, every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and the conflicts are too deep for us to solve."

After discussing the matter with the Governor-General of India in New Delhi, the Chinese side expressed the intention of meeting with Gandhi, who had just retired from the leader of the Congress Party, but the Governor-General refused to allow them to enter the door of this dangerous person, and Delhi, the capital of Nanjing, behaved It's a dilemma.After planning by the current leader of the Congress Party, he was able to rush to Calcutta to meet Gandhi.

Both parties were polite and respectful, but the conversation was difficult from the start.

"Britain declared war on Germany in 1939, and India, as a colony, was also 'declared' to enter a state of war. India had never heard of this from top to bottom before. They did not want to be colonized, let alone participate in any imperialist war in distant Europe. Question Here it appears: India does not want to be invaded by the Nazis, but they hate British rule even more. As long as Britain grants them national independence, any cooperation including participation in the war can be discussed, but the most intolerable thing in Britain is independence.”

"Then, what about granting a certain degree of autonomy?" Kunming asked tentatively. "If this doesn't work, I remember that what they advocate is non-violent non-cooperation. Have you asked them what they plan to do if Germany and Japan invade?"

"If you don't cooperate, you still don't cooperate. They believe that violence is a fallacy and must not be tolerated. Temporary autonomy cannot change the essence of 'British colonization is a fallacy', and independence must not be exchanged for cooperation with violence."

"...as usual."

Nanjing took a sip of tea: "I also asked Calcutta why it wanted independence when the war was in full swing. If it really became independent and the British army withdrew, how would India face the trampling of the Japanese iron heel? He gave me a very interesting question. s answer."

"Non-violence...but the Japanese are not the same as the British, although I can imagine a little..."

"Your imagination is correct," Nanking said gloomily. "He said that only India at that time could really defend itself and help its allies. There would be rows of Indians, well-disciplined, unarmed, charging at the Japanese bayonets, one after the other , Go forward bravely, until the corpses are piled up like mountains and blood flows into rivers, until the enemy finds his conscience and puts down the butcher knife and becomes a Buddha immediately."

"Then I guessed right. I was still shocked when he said it so clearly..." Kunming responded in a low voice, and suddenly felt cold and hugged his arms tightly.

"I don't want to judge how effective it is. Maybe it is really useful, but this method is not suitable for us, and the British don't agree, that's all. Maybe we can be lucky: Japan proposes 'Asia for Asians', It is good that India did not switch to Japan because of this."

In order to make the other party change their minds, China can only show its cards here, that is, it hopes that the National Congress Party can mobilize the people to join the war on the side of the allies, and when the post-war peace conference, China will help India to attend to fight for India's independence and freedom.The other party first expressed sympathy for China's war of resistance, but then cited facts that left China speechless—although China is an alliance of Britain and the United States, it has not been invited to participate in the most important joint meeting so far.They believe that white people will not treat Eastern nations equally because of a war, as evidenced by the Versailles Peace Conference that ruthlessly pitted China.

"Calcutta also asked me what I thought at the time of the peace conference. What can I think? Then I have to ask Peiping, and Shanghai, which has seen Beiping's face at that time... I wanted to tell them that this is different from World War I. Times have changed, and the old empire’s control over the colonies will become weaker and weaker. Even if the war is won, the empire on which the sun never sets cannot last forever. Before I can organize the language, Calcutta probably thought of the Versailles peace treaty when I was not the capital. Added a sentence: When the Anti-Japanese War broke out, the Japanese army was in a state of turmoil, and you also hoped that the white-dominated international community would intervene. As a result, what about your own experience?"

Kunming was taken aback: "It shouldn't be. We heard that there was a terrible massacre, but foreign countries don't know about it. How could Calcutta..."

"According to my observation, he just said it in general, without any particular pertinence." Nanjing looked at the ceiling with a wry smile, "Calcutta is really a radical revolutionary, huh? I stung. It's funny, I'd almost forget about it if he didn't mention it."

"...No." Kunming's tone was gentle and soft, and there was a sense of sadness when he lowered it, "It's impossible to forget."

Nanjing lowered his eyes and shook his head: "Yes, it is impossible to forget. You still have to coordinate the military expedition to Burma, and I will be busy when I go back. Let this matter come to an end. What does the UK plan to do to India in the future? I can't control it. Since we are all dressed like students today, let's talk about what students should talk about?"

Kunming looked at the other party's patched blue shirt and smiled slightly: "Well, the teachers and students of Lianda University are very interesting. I often go to class in my spare time. The last time I heard Mr. Feng teach German and recite in class Poetry...is that okay?"

"Of course it doesn't matter. The German culture is still quite lovely, and it is basically impossible for us to fight the German army-it's a pity that the German I have worked so hard to learn in the past is useless." Nanjing leaned back in his chair, relaxed Say, "So, to what level have you learned?"

"I only know a few words and simple sentences, which is not very good. But in that class, I learned to recite a little poem of Gothic."

"Look back? Maybe I've heard of it."

Kunming pursed his lips and smiled.She clasped her hands over her chest, cleared her throat, and began to chant.The teahouse is full of people, her clear voice is like a nightingale flying alone through the dense forest, independent of the world, floating high in the quiet moonlit night, the noise on the ground cannot touch a single star of its wings: "The top of the peaks

is quiet,

between the treetops

you are hard to find

a breeze,

Birds sleep deep in the woods,

don't wait,

You also return to it. "【Note 7】

On the one hand, there is a peaceful life that they are trying to maintain, and on the other hand, there is a bloody storm that is approaching every step of the way.By the end of February, Kunming learned that she was unlikely to have the opportunity to sit in the cockpit of the plane for several months. Abandoned Yangon.In order to keep the lifeline of the Burma Road, China decided to fulfill its promise to the United Kingdom and the United States and sent an expeditionary force to Burma.According to the instructions of Chongqing, Kunming set off together with the advance unit of the expeditionary force in March, and plunged into the long jungle of the neighboring country to the south.

--------------------------------------

Note 1: The Wehrmacht launched Operation Typhoon in October 1941 with the intention of capturing Moscow before winter.Later, due to bad weather and tough resistance, it was postponed until November when the soldiers approached the city. In December, the Soviet army partially launched a counter-offensive. In January, the German army retreated, and the immediate threat to Moscow was lifted.The Battle of Moscow is considered the largest city defense and one of the bloodiest in history.

Note 2: The new world imagined by the Nazis not only has no Jews, but most of the Slavs will also be wiped out. The war against the Soviet Union was originally a war of annihilation.The Master Plan for the East includes the content of genocide after the elimination of the Soviet Union. The remaining small number of Eastern nations only need four years of primary school education, and the highest task is to serve the Germans.

Note 3: The rough growth history of Vladivostok: It was ceded after the two Opium Wars, and the new name "Vladivostok" means "Eastern Ruler". Although it has become an important military base, it is located in the Far East and develops slowly. In 1891, the Siberian Railway was connected to this place. During the Russo-Japanese War, it was attacked by the Japanese navy. After the October Revolution, it was once occupied by the Japanese and British coalition forces. In the 30s, it became a place of exile for political prisoners. From 1937 to 1938, its Pacific Fleet had many conflicts with the Japanese Navy.

Note 4: The Peking Opera "Phoenix Returns to the Nest" of the Mei School is a light comedy, in which Cheng Xue'e's vocals are particularly famous.When it was first staged, because the name of the drama in power of the warlords of the Feng family had the same pronunciation as "Feng Huan Nest", it was banned in the name of being indecent, so here Jing is actually implicitly... laughing at Master Shen ==

注5：全名中国空军美国志愿大队，1941年8月1日正式成立，陈纳德任指挥员。12月7日其下辖两个中队在昆明首战告捷，经昆明各报报道后得名“飞虎”。
