Battle of the Third Reich

"The Marshal's body is very strong, and the situation is better than we thought." Lieutenant Schneider, entourage of the armed police brigade, reported to Lieutenant Colonel Ludwig.

"The warhead has been removed. The assassin used a 7.65mm caliber pistol. The bullet penetrated the marshal's upper arm, rubbed to the first level Iron Cross, and then hit his sixth rib. Caused After the rib fracture, I failed to penetrate the chest cavity. I can only say that the Marshal is very lucky. I have only heard of such a thing before, and this is the first time I have seen it." Major Heidel pointed at the x-ray on the projection lamp. Film said.

"Because the main blood vessel was not injured, and the rescue was timely, the blood loss was not very serious. We have transfused the marshal. As for the penetration injury of the marshal's upper arm, because the bones and tendons were not injured, we have sutured the wound. Lieutenant Schneider added.

"Now what we are most worried about is that the wound may be infected. It is better to contact Berlin immediately and let them send the newly developed antibiotic immediately." Major Heidel suggested to Colonel Davidson around him.

"You give me a list of the drugs you need, and I will send someone to contact Berlin as soon as possible." Davidson nodded and replied.

"Colonel, Director General of Public Settlement Keswick and Police Commissioner Barrett want to see you immediately, and they want to apologize to you." A lieutenant stood at the door of the office and knocked on the big open room door.

"Tell them that unless the murderer is caught, I won't see any of them until the Marshal wakes up." Colonel Davidson said with a sullen face.

"Just reply to them like this? Sir," the lieutenant confirmed.

"Responding to them like this, never seeing the chaos in the city like this, they should be ashamed of what happened today. If they still have a little guilt, they should be on the street now to search for the **** killer Instead of coming to me to express my apologies!" Colonel Davidson tried to suppress the anger in his chest, and finally did not say anything more pungent.

"Understood, sir." The lieutenant stood tall and then turned away.

"My people have already set up the outposts around, and the Tomahawks will do their best to protect the safety of the Marshal." Ludwig's complexion is very bad now, and Blumberg was assassinated as the Tomahawk of the Special Envoy Guard Blame it. The honor of the SS is tarnished and can only be erased with the blood of the killer and the commander behind him.

As a matter of fact, the Tomahawk was completely incapable of disaster. Originally, Blumberg was not prepared to take them to Shanghai. The problem is that since they appeared, then the responsibility for **** should be assumed. No matter how special the situation was at the time, dereliction of duty was dereliction of duty, and Ludwig could not refute at all.

"I ask for your permission, Colonel. If the trace of the murderer is found, I ask you to allow us to be dispatched. We will redeem the honor of the brigade and make up for the mistakes we made." Ludwig bowed his head to Davidson sincerely. .

"If conditions permit, I will fight for you. It is time for these mice to know what the consequences will be if they offend the Great German Empire." Davidson knows the block in Ludwig's heart, and he understands it. It's really no wonder that the Armed Police Brigade, because they were performing queues on the Bund at the time of the incident, showing the military power of the Third Reich to the citizens.

"It is said that the assassin is an agent sent by Chongqing, and his goal is Japanese Foreign Minister Asako Oga." Lieutenant Colonel Rohe, who was talking to Baron Lébernau at the corner of the house, turned his face and said.

"I doubt this. The Marshal had greeted Chongqing before he came to Shanghai. Jiang Zhongzheng promised to stop all special agent operations in Shanghai during Marshal's visit to Shanghai, in order to show respect for His Excellency Marshal. "Davidson thinks the problem is not that simple.

"Perhaps it is an assassin of other organizations. There are many spontaneous anti-Japanese organizations in China, and not all are under the control of Chongqing." Baron Le Bernau offered his opinion.

"Everyone, I just made a new discovery." Just then, Major Kuller ran into the office happily with a file bag.

"Aren't you going to help the French to identify the scene? Do you have clues to the assassin." Davidson asked hurriedly.

"Although it is not a direct clue, it is similar. I got the photos of the scene at the moment of the assassination. At least 20 cameras recorded the scene at that moment, as well as movie film, but it needs professional equipment to develop it. I want to get it. It will take a little longer." Major Kuller walked to the desk, opened the file package, and spread the photos on the table.

"These pictures are the most clear shots, you can see the rough appearance of the murderer."

Kuller selected a few photos and set them aside. Everyone present gathered around, and one of them picked up a photo and looked at it carefully.

"It turns out that the assassin looks like this. It seems that the **** is not afraid of others recognizing himself." Lieutenant Colonel Ludwig said after biting his back molar.

"I was standing there at that time, less than ten meters from the assassin." Lerbernau touched the back of his head. This photo reminded him of the thrilling moment.

"We were all there at the time, oh, except Lieutenant Colonel Ludwig. I can't see anything special about these photos, Kuller, what did you say about the discovery." Davidson looked at the ordnance expert in doubt.

"Of course, these photos can't see anything special. But these photos were taken from the back of the murderer's side. Although the face of the murderer was not taken," Kuller selected several other photos from the photo pile. Come on.

"Look at the relative position of the assassin and the marshal, this picture is particularly obvious." Ordnance expert turned into a detective, he pointed to one of the pictures.

"Don't see it yet? I'll make it clear by drawing a sketch." Kuller pulled a blank sheet of paper from the file box, picked up the pen inserted in the ink bottle, and immediately sketched it.

"The Marshal was in this position, the Japanese Foreign Minister was here, the murderer rushed out of this place, and then shot at the Japanese Foreign Minister, and he hit the Marshal." Kuller's style is very freehand, which will remind people of a beautiful childhood. But the general meaning is still understandable.

"After carefully comparing these photos, I found that the murderer was probably not a wrong shot at all. His initial goal was the Marshal." Cooler put down the pen and said a surprising conclusion.

"It’s very clear to see this picture. From the perspective of the murderer, the Marshal and the Japanese Foreign Minister do not overlap. There is at least one meter between them. From the behavior of the assassin at that time, he is obviously right. My ability is very confident, and it even took two seconds to call out the slogan during the period, so it is impossible to point the gun at the wrong target at the last moment." Kuller pointed to another photo.

"This is Browning Model 1910, which is very popular in the Asian market. I believe that many people present have used this pistol. It should be known that this weapon has very good directivity. At that time, the two sides were six or seven meters apart. Such a large deviation cannot occur under distance. So I think that the target of the assassination of the murderer is the marshal, and the so-called anti-Japanese slogan is just the smoke bomb he used to cover up the truth." Kuller published his opinion, a trace of his face appeared Complacent look.

"If Major Kuller's judgment is correct," Ludwig was really taken aback by the information he just heard, which meant that there might be a second assassination.

"We want to block off the entire floor. Any unrelated person is prohibited from entering the floor." Apparently Davidson also thought of this.

"I'll notify you right away." Ensign Schneider quickly nodded when he saw Ludwig wishing to himself.

"At the same time, it requires the cooperation of the Ministry of Industry and Bureau to strictly identify the identity of the staff in the hospital, especially the Chinese."

"You mean Chinese," Heidel asked.

"I know what you are thinking, before the matter is over, anyone can be bought by the conspirators." After listening to the discovery of Major Kuller, Davidson could not believe anyone at this time.

"Who can prove Major Culler's judgment is correct? Perhaps this assassin just made a mistake at the last minute, which is also a common thing." Baron Lébernau offered a different opinion at this moment.

"You can also say it, baron. But we can't prove that the major's judgment is wrong. According to me, there are many suspicious points in this assassination. If they want to assassinate the Japanese foreign minister, there are other opportunities. Why are they here? On such occasions, at the risk of accidentally injuring others, such assassinations are carried out in public."

"Maybe just to declare their determination to resist to the world, like Sarajevo did."

"What you said makes sense, Mr. Baron, but how to explain that the Assassin's gun will deviate so much from the target."

"Like I said just now, Major, maybe it's just a mistake. After all, under the eyes of everyone, you need to bear a lot of pressure." Everyone in the office began to argue.

"Enough is enough. Before catching the assassin, any possibility must be considered. Major Kuller can follow up and continue to investigate. I hope you can find the truth as soon as possible. I hope that no one in the mission will be allowed until further evidence is obtained. To express your opinion to the media and avoid being used by hidden enemies, everyone should know how powerful it is." Colonel Davidson stopped the meaningless argument and spoke solemnly to his colleagues.

"Okay, I agree. Sorry, major, you know I'm not targeting you." Le Bernau said to Küller.

"I understand, Baron, the possibility of your consideration does exist. When the film is washed out and analyzed from the dynamic scene, a clearer conclusion should be drawn." Major Kuller responded generously.

"Mr. Colonel, the Field Marshal is awake. He wants to see you immediately, and this Colonel Ludwig." A doctor in a white coat stood at the door to inform, perhaps because of a chest beside the door. The western doctor's complexion looked a little pale for the sake of the SS members who were wearing mp40.

"Thank you, doctor." Davidson finally showed a smile on his face when he heard that the marshal had awakened.

"I'm going to see the Marshal now. If there are any questions, I'll wait until I come back and continue discussing." After the Colonel finished speaking, he strode out of the room.

"Dr. Albert Schmidt." Ludwig followed Davidson out of the office. When he passed the doctor, he suddenly stopped and he pointed to the ID card on the doctor's chest.

"Yes, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel." Schmidt's expression looked a little restrained.

"Are you German?" Ludwig's fingers clasped his neck and twisted his neck.

"Yes, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel." The doctor lowered his head to avoid the eyes of the Lieutenant Colonel of the SS.

"Jews?" Ludwig held the holster around his waist.

"Yes, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel." The doctor's voice started shaking with his body.

"Oh." The Lieutenant Colonel nodded, then turned and walked towards the ward at the top of the corridor.

The half-dead Jewish doctor leaned against the wall and gasped. He decided to resign to the hospital today. The black uniforms in the building really scared him.

"Right, doctor." The SS Lieutenant Colonel stopped and greeted him back.

"Is there anything else, Mr. Colonel." The Jewish doctor shivered all over, and he hurriedly straightened up and responded respectfully.

"It's okay, I just want to thank you for the treatment of the marshal." The Lieutenant Colonel SS nodded slightly to the doctor.

"This is my duty as a doctor, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel."

"If you have time, I want to talk to you later."

"You can do it at any time, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel." The doctor tried to restrain the idea of ​​running away with a shit, and replied with respect.

ps: Thank you for your monthly tickets and rewards, I will continue to work hard. (To be continued.)
