father - home

I've never been more nervous going in and out of places like this than I am today.It's a bit unbelievable, I'm an SS officer, I worked in a concentration camp, and horror, crime, and death were commonplace.In contrast, there are no rows of guards with live ammunition, no terrified and desperate prisoners with cuts and bruises, no bloody smell and screams filling the air, the milky white marble floor here is spotless, and the people passing by are neatly dressed and polite. Polite, if there is no sign on the wall of the gate, and the reception room requires registration and production of certificates, you will definitely think that this is an ordinary government administrative agency, but this is Prince Albert Strasse 8, Berlin, Gestapo Central Headquarters .I couldn't restrain my uneasy mood and trembled slightly.

The accompanying guard led me into the elevator. I thought I would go to the basement, but I didn't expect to go up to the third floor.The guard let me into a room and asked me to wait.

This should be the outer room of a suite, with a set of leather sofas and coffee tables, and a door leading to the inner room.Because I was so nervous, I forgot to check the sign on the door when I entered, maybe there was no sign at all, I don’t remember it.Whose office does this suite look like? His official position must be not small.But to say which big person this office belongs to, it doesn't look like it, because apart from this sofa and coffee table, there are only rows of cabinets, which almost cover all the walls, and the cabinets are full of books and documents. , without any decoration.Anyway, it's a bit unusual to meet Jade here, is it a courtesy or just a cover up.I know that the captured prisoners are held and interrogated in the basement. It is a Shura field that even the devil would avoid, and the meeting should be there.

I tend to think of courtesy. I am an SS officer, and the Gestapo is part of the SS, so I should be considered one of my own.Today is the sixth day since Yu was arrested, and they finally realized that it was a misunderstanding, a complete mistake, so they asked us to meet here to make up for it, and then asked me to take Yu away.

I just accept the apology and take Yu away?Do you want to be held accountable and ask for an explanation?Or swallow your anger and calm down?In any case, Yu's health and the smooth birth of the child are the most important.

I did take Yu out of here, but not because of the whims I expected.

The Gestapo grabbed Yu's arm, supported her, and dragged her directly to the sofa before letting go.His movements were so rough that I angrily called out to stop him.He stood at attention and gave me the Nazi salute, expressionless.I forgot to return the salute, forgot to be cramped, and rushed to the sofa in two steps.

Yu fell weakly on the sofa.I realized that if she hadn't been held up, she might not have made it at all.

Yu's face was pale, with sunken eye sockets, thick shadows under the eyelids, and a large bruise at the corner of her mouth.

"Yu..." I stroked her cheek, it was terribly hot. "How are you?"

Yu's eyes opened, but the chaotic gaze remained unchanged, and a weak voice came out of her bloodless lips: "Marty, take me to the hospital."

I nodded, didn't think about anything, picked her up, and was stopped as soon as I turned around.

"I'm sorry, what are you doing?"

"I'm going to take her to the hospital."

"That won't work!"

The Gestapo in front of me was in civilian clothes, I was in military uniform, I don't know his rank, but that doesn't matter.The Gestapo is self-contained, does whatever it wants, and never takes its opponents seriously, even generals and ministers.But at this moment, I only care about Yu's body, and I don't care where I am or who I am facing.

"Didn't you see that she has a fever? She is still pregnant with a child, and she will die if she doesn't go to the hospital!"

"It's none of my business."

Is that human being? !I was so angry that if I hadn't held Yu in my arms, I would have lost control and fought violently.

Just as we were at a stalemate, the door leading to the back room suddenly opened, and I heard a very soft voice, and the tone was not commanding. "Otto, please take this lady to the hospital."

"But, sir..."

"Dear comrades, you can't treat a respectable lady like this. I'm not Mueller, and you're not his subordinates. Don't bring these bad things here."

The timbre is still soft, but the content is already quite severe.Holding two people in my arms, I was struggling, and I couldn't look back. At this moment, I was focused on Yu, and I had no time to take care of other things.The Gestapo in front of me finally stood at attention and saluted behind me. I finally let go of my nervousness, tightened the jade in my hand, and went out without saying thank you.

I didn't insist on which hospital to go to, not wanting to overwhelm things.Yu is not yet free, and the Gestapo has its own designated hospital.

On the way, I found that Yu's condition was worse than I thought. There were bloodstains on her skirt and her underwear. Yu said that a small amount of bleeding started in the early morning of this morning. She called the guard, but no one paid any attention to her.So I asked the Gestapo named Otto to invite Dr. Werner and Professor Lütjens from the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Spencer Hospital for consultation.I was going to explain to Otto and try to convince him that Werner had always been Yu's attending doctor, and Professor Lütjens was a famous obstetrician and gynecologist and was familiar with Yu's situation.I didn't expect it to be easy, and Otto agreed almost immediately, and it seemed that the order of that person still played a role.

After a busy day in the hospital, Yu's condition finally stabilized, the child was saved, and the condition was brought under control.After seeing off Professor Lütjens and Werner, I returned to Yu's ward exhausted.This is a single ward, because Yu is a suspect under surveillance, and Gestapo Otto guards the door conscientiously, so he must be very tired.I receive special treatment and can be by Yu's side.Now Jade sleeps very peacefully.

"I'm sorry, sir, our section chief wants to see you, please come out."

I was startled to realize that it wasn't Otto who called me, they had already changed shifts.

"I am looking for you, Baron, can we talk for a while?"

It was that soft voice, I remember.In the morning, I didn’t pay much attention to his appearance, but according to his reputation, he is not tall, and he is very young. Under the light of the corridor, his face is a bit pale, and the shadow makes him look very thin, but his eyes are big and very attractive , the smile is pure and shy, if it weren't for the light gray suit, I frowned, as if I had an illusion, this is simply a cute big boy!

"Hello, Baron, I'm Walter Schulenburg, let's find a place."

He shakes my hand.I am still in a trance, but one thing is certain, this is a pair of musicians' hands.My wariness about the Gestapo dropped by half almost immediately.

We entered a doctor's duty room, of course it was only the two of us, and it was off duty now. The doctor on duty might be flirting with the nurse, and he would never have dared to come in without being notified.

After a while, a pretty little nurse brought coffee, cake, and two apples. Schulenburg smiled and thanked her, and the nurse's confused eyes quickly swept over us one by one.

The nurse closed the door and left, and Schulenburg went to check whether the door was closed properly. This was probably his occupational disease, and he had to be careful at all times, as dangers existed everywhere.

"Please, if I'm not wrong, you haven't eaten all day, you must be very hungry." He pushed the coffee in front of me, and sat next to me at the table like old friends chatting. "To tell you the truth, me too."

He was really hungry, so he split the cake in two with a fork, ate two bites, and then drank the coffee in one gulp.I'm a little surprised, isn't he afraid of being hot or choking?But although he ate fast, he was not at all awkward, even elegant.

He wiped his mouth with a napkin, refilled his coffee, and then raised his head to look at me, his eyes still sincere, and his smile a bit shy. "Sorry, after a while, they said that there are only these things, you can eat quickly."

I left the cake untouched, just took a sip of my coffee because I just couldn't relax like he did.The atmosphere is a little weird right now.

He didn't urge any more, and lowered his head thoughtfully.Then he said unhurriedly: "I have read your file, you are an excellent scientist, loyal, dedicated, and love the motherland, so I think I can be honest with you." He took out a Camel cigarette and lit it, Give me one too.When he smoked, his age suddenly increased by at least five years, and his eyes were a little melancholy, making him look more tender and vulnerable. "I want to say, Baron, first of all, I want to apologize to you for what happened today. I'm sorry, I'm too busy to take care of it... Fortunately, there were no serious consequences... You work in Dachau, the Gestapo's way of doing things You should also understand that while that's not my approach, I've been trying to change...but I'm too busy."

He looked up at me, shaking his head unconsciously.

I was smoking a cigarette, expressionless.

He took a sip of his coffee and continued, kind of talking to himself. "This involves a big case. We have invested a lot of manpower and material resources. Everyone is under a lot of pressure, so..."

"She's pregnant! She's pregnant!" I stared at him and squeezed a few words through my teeth.I felt in danger of being deluded by him, and I had to keep telling myself that this man was responsible for these atrocities.

"I'm sorry! My wife is also pregnant." His voice was very soft, and it sounded a little painful and helpless. I couldn't help but look at him, but his eyes became firm and sharp. "That lady is your friend, to be precise, your best friend's wife. Your friend entrusted his wife and children to you when he returned home. Now your friend's life is uncertain. You must be worthy of his entrustment, and you must protect her. His wife, children."

I clenched my fists and kept smoking.

"You believe she's innocent, you believe it was a misunderstanding, and I do, but I need evidence."

"Evidence?" I was confused.His voice was soft, but pierced into my soul.

"Don't you know what happened? The lady hasn't told you?"

I shook my head, "She has been delirious, I haven't had a chance yet."

"Okay then." Schulenburg thought about it again, and finally told me honestly.
