Zhang Heng got dressed and followed the female doctor to the residence of Second Lieutenant Mustache. The latter was cutting a cigar with a knife. He saw someone grinning and said enthusiastically, "Welcome, friend of the Finnish people! Fighter of freedom! My yellow-skinned Comrade!"
Zhang Heng sat down on the seat opposite. He had not 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. At that time, the other party said a few words. After leaving, the female doctor came to communicate with him, but this time she called him here specifically for some unknown reason.
Lieutenant Mustache put the cut cigar 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. Half of it had been drunk, but there was still some left. half.
Maggie took out three cups and filled them one by one. Lieutenant Mustache raised one of them and said, "I have always wanted to express my gratitude to you for everything you have done in the past two months. Always fight side by side with us and help us defend the country. It's a pity that you are not a real Finnish soldier, otherwise you should be able to get a lot of military honors for your performance."
Zhang Heng drank the vodka in the glass together and waited quietly for the other person's next words.
Sure enough, I heard Second Lieutenant Mustache continue shortly after, "You should also know that the war is coming to an end now. I wonder what your plans are after the war is over?"
Zhang Heng probably estimated that he should have about a month left until the war ceases completely. So far, he has scored 23 points one after another. In addition to the initial "discovery of the guerrilla stronghold" and "killing a "enemy soldier", and later used "Molotov cocktail to destroy a tank", "killed an enemy officer"... and even had such inexplicable achievements as "seizing 10 bullet casing lighters".
The main mission of surviving in Finland for 20 days has been completed long ago, so theoretically he does not need to stay here anymore. If possible, Zhang Heng would like to visit the UK or the United States, especially the latter. During World War II, it was a relatively safe country. It basically fought overseas and the mainland was not attacked. Of course, the premise was that the guerrillas were willing to release him. But now that the war is about to end, the guerrillas seem to have no reason to keep him.
However, Zhang Heng still said that he planned to return to China. This was also the rhetoric he had prepared early in the morning.
The mustached lieutenant and the female doctor looked at each other, then put down the cup in their hands and put the cigar in their mouths, "We have fought side by side, so I will say it directly. No matter what time, of course we will choose to trust You, think of yourself as one of your own, but unfortunately some people don’t seem to think so.”
"What's the meaning?"
"The last time you were in the camp, you were seen by the soldiers responsible for transporting ammunition to the guerrillas," Lieutenant Mustache lit his cigar and considered his words, "...some people were worried that you knew too much and would talk nonsense after you left. "
"for example?"
"For example, the way the guerrillas treated prisoners of war." The female doctor took the cigar handed to her by Lieutenant Mustache and took a puff. "We just did what we had to do under such circumstances, but this kind of Once the matter gets out, it may have some unfavorable impact on public opinion internationally, 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 a moment later he put the pistol on the table again.
"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, which is to find a way to make those guys who don't trust you act like We also trust you." Second Lieutenant Mustache said leisurely.
"What else do you want me to do, assassinate Timoshenko?"
Maggie and Aji couldn't help but marvel at the speed with which Zhang Heng controlled his emotions. Anyone faced with this situation has enough reason to feel angry, especially considering Zhang Heng's contribution to the guerrillas. This paragraph During that time, he and Simon killed many Soviet soldiers together. Their performance was impeccable, but the guerrillas turned around and disowned them. At this time, Zhang Heng was still able to restrain his anger and just said sarcastically, "This mentality 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 very serious mistake.
This is not as simple as playing games on the computer. After choosing to join a certain camp, he becomes a member of this camp. His skin color and unverifiable past are destined to not be truly trusted by any party. From the beginning, he It was very clear that the guerrillas were only using him to deal with the Soviets, but at that time he did need to join one side to survive this difficult war, so strictly speaking, both sides just got what they needed.
However, as the situation changed, his relationship with the guerrillas also quietly changed, from being needed at first to hidden dangers and troubles now. He was not completely unaware of it, but because everyone got along quite happily, he thought he was The guerrillas did enough to earn the right to escape after the war.
But now it seems that this may be wishful thinking on his part.
Lieutenant Mustache smiled and said, "Don't worry, we are reasonable people and will not let you die in vain. In fact, what I want you to do is very simple and easy for you. After doing this, it will be between us The grudges will be wiped out once and for all, and then there will be no problem wherever you want to go.”
The female doctor blew out a smoke ring. Her expression was a little complicated at this moment. Zhang Heng saw the emotion called hesitation on her face for the first time. Maggie spoke again after a moment.
"Did you know that the kid wasn't originally named Simon?"
Zhang Heng frowned. He didn't know why Maggie suddenly changed the topic to Simon.
The female doctor, however, continued to mind her own business, "This country has reached its most dangerous time. More than ever, it needs a hero to unite everyone. They can wait quietly for this hero to appear, or... there will be another one." A safer way is to create a hero yourself."
The expression on Maggie's face was strange, a bit like mockery, but also a bit respectful.
"The real Simon lives in a small town called Rautjarvi. No one cares that the place is there, just like no one cares what he does there. He is a farmer and occasionally goes hunting in the mountains. He is so ordinary. , so ordinary that no one notices him at all, so you can process whatever you want about his past."
