Zhang Heng got dressed and followed the female doctor to the residence of Second Lieutenant Mustache, who was cutting a cigar with a knife, when he saw someone grinning enthusiastically, "Welcome, friend of the Finnish people! Freedom fighter! I am yellow-skinned." Comrades!"
Zhang Heng sat down on the seat opposite. He hadn't had much contact with the guerrilla commander in the past two months. The last time he sat here was when he first arrived at the camp. After leaving, a female doctor came to communicate with him, but this time, for some unknown reason, she called him here again.
The second lieutenant with the mustache put the cut cigars aside, and took out a bottle of vodka from under the table. This was seized by the guerrillas when they attacked a Soviet supply team transporting military supplies. It had already been half drunk, but there was still half.
Maggie took out three cups and filled them up one by one. The second lieutenant with a mustache raised one of them and said, "I always wanted to express my gratitude to you for everything you have done in the past two months. Always fight with us and help us defend the country together, but unfortunately you are not a real Finnish soldier, otherwise you should get a lot of military merit based on your performance."
Zhang Heng drank the vodka in the cup together, quietly waiting for the other party's next words.
Sure enough, the Second Lieutenant Mustache continued, "You should also know that the war is coming to an end now. What are your plans after the war is over?"
Zhang Heng roughly estimated that he should have about a month left until the complete truce. So far, he has scored 23 points one after another. 1 enemy army", and later use "Molotov cocktail to destroy a tank", "kill enemy officer"... There are even inexplicable achievements such as "seized 10 bullet case lighters".
The main task of surviving in Finland for 20 days has already been completed, so theoretically he doesn’t need to stay here anymore. If possible, Zhang Heng would like to go to England or the United States, especially the latter. During World War II, it was a relatively safe country. It basically fought overseas, and the homeland was not attacked. Of course, the premise was that the guerrillas were willing to release him. Now that the war is coming to an end, the guerrillas seem to have no reason to force him to stay.
However, Zhang Heng still said to the outside world that he planned to return to China, which was also a statement he had prepared earlier.
The second lieutenant with a mustache and the female doctor glanced at each other, then put down the cup in their hands, and put the cigar in their mouths, "We have fought side by side together before, so I will say it straight, no matter what time we will choose to trust you." You, take you as one of your own, but unfortunately some people don't seem to think so."
"What's the meaning?"
"When you were in the camp last time, you were seen by the soldiers responsible for transporting ammunition to the guerrillas," the second lieutenant with a mustache lit his cigar and considered his words, "...some people worry that you know too much and will talk nonsense after you leave."
"for example?"
"For example, the way guerrillas treat prisoners of war," the female doctor took a cigar from the second lieutenant with a mustache and took a puff. "We just did what we had to do under the circumstances, but this kind of Once the matter gets out, it may bring some unfavorable influence on international public opinion, especially now, considering that people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are negotiating with the Soviet Union, this is a very sensitive period."
Second Lieutenant Mustache took out a pistol from his pocket and pointed it at Zhang Heng. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense, but he put the pistol on the table again after a while.
"The good news is that we all know what kind of person you are. Personally, I trust you not to talk nonsense, so what we have to do now is very simple, is to find a way to make your guys who don't trust you like you We also trust you." The second lieutenant with a mustache said leisurely.
"What else do you want me to do, to assassinate Timoshenko?"
Maggie and Aki couldn't help but marvel at the speed at which Zhang Heng controlled his emotions. Anyone facing this situation has enough reasons to be angry, especially considering Zhang Heng's contribution to the guerrillas. During that time, he and Simon killed a lot of Soviet soldiers together. His performance was impeccable. As a result, the guerrillas turned their heads and turned their backs on them. At this time, Zhang Heng was still able to restrain his anger. He just sneered. The quality is indeed strong enough.
But in fact, Zhang Heng's heart was not as calm as he showed. He realized that he had indeed made a serious mistake.
This is not as simple as playing games on the computer. After choosing to join a certain camp, he becomes a part of this camp. His skin color and unverifiable past doom him not to be truly trusted by any party. That's pretty clear, the guerrillas were just using him against the Soviets, but at the time he did need to be on one side to get through this tough war, so strictly speaking each side just took what they needed.
However, as the situation changed, his relationship with the guerrillas also quietly changed, from being needed at the beginning to being a hidden danger and trouble now. He was not completely unaware of it, but because everyone got along fairly happily, he thought he was doing it for him. The guerrillas did enough to get the right to get out after the war.
But looking at it now, I am afraid this is his wishful thinking.
Second Lieutenant Mustache smiled, "Don't worry, we are reasonable people, and we won't let you die in vain. In fact, what I want you to do is very simple, and it is easy for you. After finishing this matter, the relationship between us All grievances and grievances will be written off, and there will be no problem where you want to go."
The female doctor exhaled a smoke ring. Her expression was a bit complicated at this moment. It was the first time Zhang Heng saw an emotion called hesitation on her face. After a while, Maggie spoke again.
"Did you know that kid wasn't originally named Simon?"
Zhang Heng frowned. He didn't know why Maggie suddenly changed the topic to Simon.
The female doctor continued on her own, "This country has reached the most dangerous time, and it needs a hero to unite everyone more than ever. They can wait for this hero to appear, or... there is another The safer way—is to create a hero yourself.”
The expression on Maggie's face was very strange, a little mocking, but also a little respectful.
"The real Simon lives in a small town called Rautjarvi, no one cares where that place is, just like no one cares what he does there, he's a farmer and occasionally goes hunting in the mountains, he's just plain normal , so ordinary that no one pays attention at all, so you can edit anything about his past."
