Humans in World War II: Army Defeated by Beacon Fire

Chapter 39 After going through all kinds of hardships, he returned to Germany, entered the Army University, and made friends with powerful people for the first time.
Some money was looted along the way, and a radio station was also robbed.

It was learned on the radio that Paulus had surrendered.

This made everyone believe Edward's prediction even more.

Edward had already said early on that Paulus would surrender.

After being promoted to marshal, he also chose to surrender.

All the more than [-] German troops were surrounded and surrendered.

91000 people entered Soviet prisoner-of-war camps, and less than 6000 returned alive.

In other words, the survival rate in Soviet prisoner-of-war camps was not as good as the survival rate on the battlefield.

Therefore, even if you were to die, you would not go to a Soviet prisoner of war camp. To put it bluntly, it was better to hide in the mountains and eat dirt than to be a prisoner of war.

After Paulus' surrender, all German soldiers who were able to escape Stalingrad were pardoned.

Edward and his party were hiding in a village and were waiting for the announcement of this decree.

German soldiers who escaped Stalingrad let bygones be bygones.

The end of the Battle of Stalingrad sent a powerful shockwave throughout Germany.

"Let's go, brothers"

Edward motioned for everyone to pack their things, tidy up their military uniforms and then left the small village.

The only fully formed unit to escape Stalingrad.

In addition, Edward's various achievements have long been reported to the military.

There are records and files. From being an exempt soldier to now, it can be said that he has made great achievements in battle.

After the group stepped into the military camp neatly, they also received long-lost supplies.

As a commander, you must be investigated.

After some investigation, the senior management did not pursue too much further.

There is no point in pursuing an officer with explosive combat effectiveness and considerable merit.

What is it used for?Kill the chicken and show it to the monkey?
All the monkeys have surrendered in Stalingrad, now it is not a waste to kill the chicken.

Through the contact between Lieutenant Lawrence and Second Lieutenant Malte.

Soon the transfer orders came, and Edward, Bobby, Bill, Mason, Winster, Johnny, Sonny, Howard, Tom and others were all arranged to return to Germany and enter the Army University for three months of further study.

After the roar of the engine sounded.

Everyone finally left this ghost place.

A kilogram of gold is really not in vain.

The accompanying soldiers have been arranged to enter various units.

All armies are vying for these elite soldiers.

The transport plane headed towards Berlin, Germany.

What will happen next depends on Edward's dealings.

After arriving at Berlin Airport, several people got off the plane.

“I didn’t expect that we would finally return to Berlin alive, it was just like a dream”

The people holding their luggage sighed as they wore big-brimmed hats and carried their luggage.

The brand new riding boots under his feet squeaked on the snow.

"Let's go, let's find a place to stay first."

Looking at the snowy world nearby, Edward spoke.

Everyone obeyed Edward's order without any objection.

I took a car heading to the city and got off on the street.

"Mart, do you know where to sell cars? Walking is not an option here. We need to get a few cars."

"Don't worry, Captain, leave it to me."

After speaking, Malte walked to the phone booth on the side of the road and called a number.

Ten minutes later, two black Mercedes-Benz cars stopped on the side of the road.

"Captain, these two cars will be used as your means of transportation for the time being."

Lieutenant Malte handed the key to Edward Dao.

"Okay Malte, thank you. Let's go to the hot spring hotel. If you need anything, come find us there."

After speaking, Edward took several people into the car and left.

Laurence and Malte both had houses in Berlin.

So they don't need to stay in a hotel.

Old cars are old cars in Edward's eyes.

But in the eyes of everyone, this is the most fashionable Mercedes-Benz sedan at the moment.

The black streamline is very tall, at least it is not something that cats and dogs can drive.

Even the nine of them, who had been serving as soldiers for ten years without food or water, could not afford a Mercedes Benz.

There is still a chance to buy a three-wheeled car, but it is impossible to buy a high-end car like this.

The hot spring hotel doesn't look big or small, so it's pretty good.

The accommodation fee of 2 marks a night is not cheap.

As a corporal, Mason earned only 31 marks a month, and 14 marks during the war.

In total, the monthly salary is only 45 marks a month, which requires 60 marks a month.

Mason actually couldn't afford to live there for a month.

However, Mason is not just a soldier for a month. At the same time, he is a reserve officer and has additional subsidies.

Their wages can be advanced by the military department.

Just during the period of being trapped in Stalingrad, the military was in arrears with military pay for four or five months.

So there was no shortage of money, and the currency Edward carried was enough for the nine of them to live for a year.

Edward took out a note worth one thousand marks, which surprised the receptionist in front of him.

After all, this was the largest denomination of the German mark at the time.

It was worth a lot of money. After receiving a thousand marks, I arranged rooms for nine people.

In order to take care of each other, only five rooms were opened, and Edward had a room by himself.There are eight rooms for them on the left and right.

There was a soft red carpet on the floor, and everyone walked into the elevator and headed straight to the fourth floor.

The ancient elevator grating is still manually operated, and one of the sweet-looking waiters operates the elevator inside.

Nine people could not afford to ride on it, so they were divided into two groups and began to transport upwards.

Climbing 40 flights of stairs is not a problem for them, but everyone knows that things are different now.

"Okay, let's all take a good rest. If you want entertainment, find someone to entertain you."

Edward took out a stack of ten-dollar notes, counted ten of them and handed them to several people.

Anyway, when you get to Germany, if you want to have fun, just have fun.

We are all men. It has been so long and we can relax a little.

"Thank you Captain"

Everyone had a smile on their lips that everyone understood.

Afterwards, free activities began, and soon some girls wearing makeup and makeup came up in the elevator.

Edward looked out the window with a glass of wine in his hand, then sat at the table and picked up a pen.

In his previous life, he was a poor academic who went to a good school, and later went to work and worked hard throughout the business world.

In my spare time, I just watch the military channel and listen to the decryption of various secrets.

In his eyes, there is still hope for Germany.

As long as it could prevent the Allied landings in the Battle of Normandy in 1944, nuclear bombs and strategic bombers could be manufactured in advance.

This will make it impossible for the opponent to throw a rat weapon.

Of course, this also requires obtaining sufficient rights.

As a person who is involved in the business world, the shopping mall is like a battlefield. If you don't have good political acumen in the workplace, you really can't survive.

Don't underestimate the number of people in a company, they actually correspond to a country.

Who do you need to trip up and whom do you need to unite with? At the same time, there is something to be said for how to bear the humiliation and laugh to the end sometimes.

Edward's first plan was to enroll in the military academy and strive to graduate with the rank of at least lieutenant colonel.

At the same time, he used his connections to go to the northern city of Hamburg to serve as a garrison commander.

If you seek the position of governor again, you can move on to the next step if you have the military and political affairs in hand.

Edward was writing the plan when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

When he opened the door, he saw two young and beautiful girls looking at Edward at the door.

After being a monk for a long time, I really can't resist such a stunning beauty.

After hundreds of rounds of hearty PK, he finally succeeded in killing many enemies and won the championship.

He lit a cigarette, put on the metal lighter and leaned against the soft backrest of the bed.

After opening the wallet, one person tipped him five yuan.

One mark was exchanged for one hundred pfennig, and five hundred pfennig was already quite a lot.

The two hot girls with five hundred pfennigs packed up their equipment and left.

After Edward finished smoking, he put on his clothes and continued to build his plan.

Early the next morning, Edward and everyone set off to report to the Imperial Army University.

After paying the tuition, I entered the school and placed an order.

There are also many replacement officers in the school waiting to be promoted.

"Captain, this is Colonel Leinster, Director of the Office of the Ministry of Defense."

Malte introduced a colonel to Edward.

Although he is a civilian colonel, his power is not small.

At least the average major general would not offend the opponent easily.

"Hello Colonel!"

Edward immediately saluted and said hello.

The other party just lowered the window and glanced at Edward, "Yeah" and nodded.

Although it is just a face-to-face greeting, just because of this face-to-face greeting can achieve results for the next gift-giving.

Otherwise, there is no way to give gifts, and the other party will not give you a chance at all.

Just like in today's society, if you have money and want to go to the dock, if you really want to do it, the other party will not accept your things casually without guarantees and introductions.

And with the introduction of Malte, Edward had a face-to-face meeting with him.

Then the next time we meet will be easy.

"What does this guy mean?"

After all, Malte is still a young man and doesn't know some insider tricks.

He felt that the other party did not give him any face, but in fact the other party had already given him a lot of face.

"Colonel Leinster has given us a lot of respect. There are not many people who can exchange greetings with him. It won't be like this next time we meet."

Edward comforted Malte beside him.

After all, he is still young, and the other party also did it for the sake of the Malte family.

If he were an important figure in the Malte family, he would definitely not be like this.

But you are just a junior, and it is already very good for him to come and say hello.

It’s normal for young people not to understand this.

"When you reach a high position one day, the other party will come to ask you to do things, so don't care about this. If it weren't for the fact that you are from the Malte family, you and I would not be qualified to ask him to lower the window and respond to us."

Edward smiled and patted Malte on the shoulder to comfort him.

The two then walked into the school and visited the Imperial Army School.

At the same time, the various medals on Edward's chest also made everyone in the school couldn't help but look at Edward more.

Those are medals that symbolize honor, and Edward has received the Knight's Cross.

It is worn in the middle of the uniform, with the Knight's Cross on top of the shirt and tie.
