Chapter 48 I Have a Nickname
Lin Chen had thought about bringing a few more people, but considering that there were not many German troops left, if he brought more people with him, it would easily cause panic and unrest among the German troops, which would be extremely unfavorable to the negotiations.

But if I go alone, I won't be able to tell what will happen in the future, after all, this is a major operation.

So he considered taking another person with him.

It is also our old acquaintance, Chernogolov.

His concerns in this regard were expressed very clearly in the telegram to General Chuikov, who responded quickly, "Agree to execute, but pay attention to safety."

After getting approval from his superiors, Lin Chen set off amid the concerns of Pavlov and others.

He did not raise the white flag used to persuade the enemy to surrender, but directly spoke in German to let the other party know his intentions.

The opponent started shooting directly at first, but Lin Chen did not give up and stopped Chernogolov who wanted to draw his gun and fight back.

After shouting many times, the other side finally stopped shooting and agreed to let Lin Chen and his team come over, but asked them to raise their hands above their heads to make sure they posed no threat.

Of course Lin Chen would never agree. If he really raised his hands, after the war, it would be like "yellow mud falling into the crotch, it would be shit if it's not shit."

Lin Chen repeatedly emphasized that he and his companions could put their hands in front of them where everyone could see them, and ensure that they were not armed.

The other party was silent for a long time, and finally agreed to let Lin Chen and Chernogolov go in, and they did not continue shooting.

After the two entered the train station square, Chernogolov was stunned by the scene before him.

Thousands of German corpses were piled up in the square and the corridors of the waiting hall, which was a spectacular sight.

Since Lin Chen often went out to carry out sniper missions, he was naturally clear about this matter. He also understood that the German army had run out of firewood and gasoline for heating, so how could they waste it on dealing with corpses?

After searching behind him, Lin Chen saw the other soldier took out two black cloth belts.

"Please wait a moment."

Lin Chen walked to the pile of corpses, took off his hat and stood solemnly.

But they did not bow, which was a way of expressing respect for the deceased, but by no means an endorsement of their aggression.

The two were then blindfolded with black cloth and taken to the waiting hall.

The moment the black cloth was removed, what came into view were a few pale and haggard faces that were still unwilling to surrender.

Although Lin Chen already knew these people well through his sniper rifle, it was still different from meeting them face to face in reality.

The German army naturally stared at the two men with great hostility, as if they would come forward and tear them to pieces at any time.

Like Lin Chen, Chernogolov had no intention of returning alive when he stepped out of the building, so his momentum was naturally not weak at all.

"Well, to make a long story short, we don't have much time to lobby you."

Lin Chen glanced at the man who spoke. Although his military uniform was dirty, the silver star on the epaulettes still showed his status as a lieutenant.

"Mr. Lieutenant, everyone who comes is a guest. Is this how your army treats guests?" Lin Chen spoke slowly.

The adjutant signaled to the soldier next to him, who immediately brought two broken chairs.

“The conditions are tough, so we can only make do!”

"Thank you!" Lin Chen sat down immediately, but Chernogolov naturally couldn't sit down. His mission was to protect Lin Chen, although this mission was almost impossible to accomplish.

"Mr. Lieutenant, I think you may have a misunderstanding. I am not here to lobby you."

"Oh? Aren't you here to persuade us to surrender?" the adjutant pointed out directly.

"No, I know you are unwilling to surrender. You have the honor and loyalty of Prussian soldiers, so before I came in just now, I paid tribute to the fallen German officers and soldiers."

The adjutant and other soldiers were quite moved.

"I admit that your action just now touched me and my men, but that's all. We will not surrender. We will fight for our motherland until the last man!" The adjutant looked determined.

The other soldiers looked around. At this moment, there was still a little difference between soldiers and officers.

"Hahaha~" Lin Chen suddenly burst into laughter without any warning, leaving everyone confused.

The adjutant felt that Lin Chen was looking down on him and couldn't help but feel annoyed.

"I'm sorry, I suddenly lost control. I didn't mean to be disrespectful to you, but what did you just say, for your motherland?" Lin Chen asked back.

"Yes, we are all warriors who fight for the German Empire!" The adjutant said with pride.

"Haha," Lin Chen was really a little contemptuous now, "For the sake of your motherland, you can attack other countries? For the sake of your motherland, you can kill civilians of other countries? For the sake of your motherland, you let these soldiers who should be reunited with their families at home lie in the aisle in front and become hard, cold corpses?"

Lin Chen's tone clearly rose, "When did your motherland ever give you such an order?"

The adjutant knew that what he said was not reasonable, but he still insisted, "Our leader, our superior"

"Where are they? Your leader is now teasing his hound. Oh, and the mistress named Ava! As for your superiors, let's take the people in your army headquarters as an example. Haha, they also have so many people dying of starvation and disease just like you?"

Lin Chen's words were heart-wrenching, causing the soldiers present to bow their heads in deep thought.

What he said was indeed an irrefutable fact. Just a few days ago, the airdropped supplies that they had fought so hard to seize were forcibly requisitioned by their superiors. This made the soldiers here feel that they had no way to survive, and they surrendered in large numbers.

Even the adjutant felt chilled, because not long ago, his most admired commander, Jingke, also found an excuse to go to the headquarters to get medicine, and never returned. No one knew whether he died on the way or for some other reason.

"Your Sixth Army is the most elite strategic corps of the German Army, but how many combatants are left in the encirclement? There is no hope of reinforcements now, and the Soviet Army's general offensive is imminent. Since you are their leader, please consider their future and their wives and children at home."

Lin Chen's words even made the German soldiers start sobbing, and they were all worried about their own fate.

"Are you Asian?" The adjutant had nothing to say and could only try to change the subject.

"Well, I'm Chinese, and my name is Lin Chen!" Lin Chen did not hide it.

"May I ask what your rank is?"

"Sergeant, and he was promoted not long ago!"

The adjutant was surprised. He didn't expect that the person who came to persuade them to surrender was a Chinese soldier, who was not even a lieutenant. He felt despised and humiliated.

Lin Chen saw the adjutant's expression and knew what he was thinking. "Although I am a sergeant, I am the second-in-command of the Soviet army opposite you who have been trying to defeat you for more than two months. I also have a nickname that you may be more familiar with, which is 'Ghost'."
