Chapter 204 Borneo’s Super Ace (Fourth update, please subscribe)
Just when Li Yian was developing out of control in the direction of becoming a barbecue expert, a ship loaded with supplies and personnel departed from North Africa. The team finally arrived in Sandakan after a long journey.
When the boat sailed into Sandakan Bay, everyone on the boat was attracted by the bright and enthusiastic scenery.
Coconut trees, banana trees, sunshine, beaches...
There are even natives rowing boats holding bananas and other tropical fruits. All of this makes people on the boat The passengers felt very fresh, especially those from Germany. In the past, most of them had only seen such scenes in illustrated magazines. After all, for Germany, which did not have a colony, this was really too far away.
"Herman, look at the beach over there. I must go there to bask in the sun after I get off the boat..."
Hartman said to his friend excitedly.
In the past few years, they have been living in the ice and snow on the Eastern Front. Only God knows how much they long for sunshine and beaches.
Compared with Hartmann's excitement, Hermann Graf's expression was a bit solemn. This land was not only an unknown land, but also their unknown future.
“Perhaps, we will spend our lives here in the future, with beach and sunshine every day...”
Herman's answer made Hartman stunned. The smile on his face disappeared and his expression looked a little complicated.
As Germany's number one ace pilot, Erich Hartmann shot down 352 planes, and this was also his crime. After Germany announced its surrender, Wing Commander Hermann Gerla The husband handed him a telegram, asking the two of them to fly to Dortmund immediately and surrender to the British army. The other members of the 52nd Regiment stayed in place and surrendered to the Russian army. The intention of Air Force Commander General Seidman was to prevent the super ace in the war against Russia from falling into the hands of the Russians. But after a brief discussion, they unanimously decided to refuse to execute the order. They cannot leave their troops to fend for themselves. They burned the remaining 25 fighter jets and withdrew a total of 200 subordinates and their families from the land to the west. On the way, they encountered the American army and surrendered to the American army.
However, this did not change their fate. A few days later, the Americans, according to the Russian request, handed over him, Graf and others to the Russian army, because most of the ones they shot down were Russians. airplane. Therefore, Russia requested extradition to bring them back to Russia for trial.
After learning the news, Hartman and the others were naturally dumbfounded. They had never thought of such an operation at all, and what they did not expect was that although the guarding US military colonel told them Regretful, but still said that handing them over was an agreement between Washington and Moscow - all German soldiers who were listed as Russians, but surrendered to the West, would also be handed over to Russia by Britain and the United States.
While they were anxiously and fearfully waiting for the unknown future, worried about falling into the hands of the Russians, the various abuses they might suffer, and the ice and snow of Siberia, someone rescued them.
What next?
They successfully escaped from prison on the eve of the handover. It was with the help of the American guards. Among the Americans were their fans, super ace pilots, and there was no shortage of admirers wherever they went.
After regaining their freedom, in order to avoid being arrested again, they had no choice but to leave Germany with their families. All arrangements had been made in Berlin to rescue them.
Soon they took their family on a plane to Tunisia. In Tunisia, they also saw some old friends, who, like them, were super ace pilots who shot down a large number of Russian planes on the Eastern Front.
Dozens of them!
Many comrades, including Rudel, were rescued by Berlin!
If they had not been rescued, they might have been sent to Russia long ago. After suffering all kinds of humiliation, they were thrown into the ice and snow of Siberia.
In this way, they came to this strange land from Tunisia with their wives and children in order to make a living. And what will be waiting for them?
No one knows the answer. In fact, Graf should be lucky, because here he will not be ruined. In another world, he chose to cooperate with the Russians in a prisoner of war camp, chose to cooperate with the Russians, and provided their Luftwaffe doctrine, and assisting the Russians in training their air force in pursuit of a reduced sentence. It was precisely because of his cooperation with the Russians in prison that Graf was not forgiven after returning to the country and even lost his reputation.
Now, what they need is to use their best professional knowledge to win their future life.
"At least, they are not our enemies..."
Hartman and others thought this in their hearts, which relieved them of any psychological burden.
Everything is for life!
There were many passengers on the ship. In addition to super ace pilots like Graf and Hartmann, there were also exiled officials of the Third Reich. They were more low-key and did not even step out of the cabin because they were afraid of their identities being exposed. .
But despite this, they still breathed a sigh of relief. God bless, they finally arrived in Sandakan safely. What is waiting for them here?
It is a villa on a cool plateau, it is a quiet and comfortable life, it is... The only problem is that there are too few Europeans here. Will they be too conspicuous when entering and leaving the city in the future?
Actually, they worry too much.
There are many Europeans in Sandakan, not only because it will become an international city, but also because in the following years, a large number of German scientists, engineers and their families came At this point, there are also the wives of the search team members. By that time, there will even be hundreds of thousands of Europeans living in this city. Of course, by then, most of them will already speak Chinese like the locals.
Just like now, when people on the ship are worried about the unknown fate, on the deck, a group of German women are looking at the city with curiosity, but they are speaking some stiff and even weird Chinese. .
"This city seems very small."
"It's not big, but there are fruits, sunshine, food, and, my lover..."
The woman rushed shouted in the direction of the city.
"I'm here..."
For a time, the deck was filled with the laughter of women.
Although Germany had just surrendered a few months ago, and although this search team had only entered Germany a few months ago, most of the team members had found wives. There was no way, Chinese men had never seen the world, and they could not stand the enthusiasm of French women, nor could they. I can't stand the passion of German women. Many people only need one look and they will fall easily.
As these search teams evacuated Germany and came to Borneo, their wives naturally had to go to Borneo too. Because many of them were pregnant, they took the hospital ship for easy care. As a nurse, Lily, the P2 of the British Empire, took care of these women all the way.
After getting along for a long time, Lily found that these Germans were not as evil as she imagined. In fact, she herself was German... As we all know, the British royal family came from Germany and even changed their British surnames after World War I. .
Like everyone else, Lily also had a bright smile on her face, not just because of the tropical sunshine she had never experienced before, nor because it was the end of a long journey.
“Lily, you seem very happy!”
"That's right!"
Lily nodded and said.
"I know where our goal is!"
"North Borneo... Yingling!"
Lily paused and emphasized her tone, This is British territory, which means that here, she no longer has to worry about the Germans. In fact, she has stopped worrying for a long time. Even the head nurse who once served in the SS is also a very kind person. Although she doesn’t know what she has experienced, her eyes confirm that she is a kind person.
As for everyone else, of course.
This is British territory!
They came here just out of necessity. During the long journey, Lily had learned about the current situation in Germany from other people's mouths - everyone was suffering from hunger and cold, and of course they were still poor. , some women can even sell their identities for a cigarette, and they are undoubtedly lucky. They have either found their lover or got this job. Although they need to work overseas, the salary is still very high.
Of course, this has nothing to do with her. The most important thing is that in Lily's view, this will be the most important journey in her life. Even Elizabeth has never had such an adventure!
Okay, when the adventure is over, you only need to go to the governor's office to identify yourself, and you can go home!
But, before that, let’s enjoy this adventure!
For her, who longs for freedom and an unfettered life by nature, she enjoys such a time, even if it brings a lot of trouble.
In fact, no matter how many rules there are, they can't restrain her heart that longs for adventure and freedom. Now she is eager to try.
Almost everyone has various ideas when they come here. For them, this is a new beginning in life.
