PreviousBack to directoryNext
 "Long live!" A beer glass was raised in the Czech bar. Today is a night of celebration. The entire Tubingen team and loyal fans gathered together. While celebrating the victory, they are waiting for the New Year. The Tubingen city government is here

Fireworks were set off in front of St. George's Church in the city center, and the Baden-Württemberg State TV station was broadcasting Stuttgart's large parade celebrations on TV. The street outside the bar was crowded with people who had finished mass, and children were waiting for the team to disperse.

Finally, he knocked on each neighbor's door and sang hymns to them.

Colorful fireworks reflected the excited drinkers in the small bar, and the constant sound of thunder made the bar noisier. People had to raise their voices to speak clearly. However, Germans are naturally loud, so it doesn't matter, but it makes others miserable.

For example, Ozil had to work hard to make Wang Ai hear what he said clearly.

The closer it gets to midnight, the more intense the atmosphere in the bar becomes, and the more people drink. After 12 o'clock, the fireworks are suspended, and a newlywed couple climbs to the bell tower of the church to ring the ancient bell, and the melodious sound of the bell spreads throughout the small town.

As soon as the bells fell, the noise reached its peak. People in the bar raised their glasses to wish each other a new year.

The boys in the team also brought chairs, stood on the chairs, jumped forward vigorously, and threw a specially made baggage behind the chairs, praying for a lighter trip in the new year. Just after midnight, the TV started playing the German

Spring Festival Gala - "Dinner for One" is only 18 minutes long. It's an old film from decades ago, and it's still in black and white, but Germans watch it every year, and every time they watch it they laugh as if it's the first time.

of joy.

After 18 minutes, Leonie walked onto the small stage and sang a song of Prince's "No Kissing" in a charming way, which received a lot of whistles. Next, the advantages of the Tübingen Youth International Team

To fully demonstrate, Tanzania's Allison sang a piece of Tanzanian folk song "Lovely Little Angel". Boateng, who is usually stern and has so much beard that he can't see his mouth, shook two maracas and sang a piece of Australia's "Sheep Shearing".

". Favre played and sang the German folk song "Spring is Coming" by himself.

Favre did not leave the stage after singing, but said to the team members and loyal fans in the bar: "Teammates and friends, this year our Tubingen football team has another good result like in the past few years. We want to

Thanks to the old Kugel for his contribution, and also to the Chinese King for taking over the team when the team was in difficulty and bringing in the genius Ozil! We would like to thank Allison, who is now the top scorer in the scorer list! We also

We want to thank our Lion King, who leads us to victory! Here’s to the young people of Tubingen!”

"Tübingen Youth!" There was a sea of ​​beer glasses in the bar.

At this time, there seemed to be some controversy among the fans in front of the bar. A strong man was said to be impatient and asked, "Am I wrong? Why should I sell the team to a Chinese guy?"

It happened that everyone had just put down their glasses at this time and hadn't spoken yet, so the bar was very quiet.

After this shouting came out, the bar became audible.

Although the players were unhappy, they didn't know how to express their feelings for a while. Players are tolerant to fans, as long as it's not too excessive.

Wang Ai was a little surprised, but he said it was nothing good.

At this time, in the corner of the bar, a big man with a shaggy beard stood up, so thin that his clothes were clacked. He was the janitor of the Tübingen Sports Center, his name was Jonas. The whole team was celebrating today.

Oni pulled him over.

"You're wrong to say that." He walked up to the big man, shook his head, and poured beer into his stomach.

"Who are you?" The big man was drunk and hazy, and he was very dissatisfied with the unexpected rebuttal.

Before Jonas could answer, the person next to the big man pulled him and took the opportunity to whisper: "He is the peaceful warrior Jonas."

The big man woke up a lot and didn't say anything.

Jonas wandered in front of everyone, pointed at Wang Ai and said: "I don't like foreigners, not from any country, but the Chinese are not invaders or occupying forces. They are the people who bring us happiness. Respect China

people!"

After saying that, he didn't care about anyone else, he just raised his head and started drinking by himself.

There was silence in the bar, especially since the Germans present returned to their usual serious expressions and raised their glasses to silently signal to Jonas and Wang Ai.

“What does peaceful warrior mean?”

After this unharmonious episode, the atmosphere in the bar returned to hustle and bustle under the deliberate mediation of the team members, especially Allison. Wang Ai asked Leonie next to him in a low voice.

Leonie pouted: "His name means peace, and he used to be a member of the German Wehrmacht."

"Then why does everyone listen to him? It seems like some people are a little afraid of him? Or something else?"

Leonie turned her head and didn't want to say anything.

Kugel put down the clean cup in his hand: "Jonas, you are our hero of Baden-Württemberg and the national hero of Germany!"

Wang Ai looked at the serious Kugel in surprise: "National hero?"

In Wang Ai's impression, "national hero" is almost the supreme title, and they all belong to legendary figures in history. This time, he actually saw a living national hero in the German countryside.

"Let Leonie talk to you." Kugel smiled and shook his head.

Leonie glared at Old Kugel angrily: "That drunkard's full name is Jonas Hartmann!"

"Hartman? You, you two..." Wang Ai said in surprise, this Jonas seems like a drug addict, and Leonie is sunny, cheerful, beautiful and elegant, they are actually from the same family?

"Humph, he is my bastard brother!" Leonie sighed rarely: "Three years ago he was in the Wehrmacht in Stuttgart. It was also a New Year. Two American soldiers pulled a German into an empty house on the street in the suburbs of Stuttgart.

Girl, he got into a fight with them, and then he was tried by a military court. And then he was ordered to retire."

Wang Ai frowned: "Is this serious? Where are the two American soldiers?"

Leonie said calmly: "One participated in the Sydney Olympics this year and won a Paralympic bronze medal, and the other is said to be still sleeping."

Wang Ai thought about it for a while, then he sprayed a mouthful of wine on the ground. One of them was beaten into a disabled person, and the other was beaten into a vegetative state? This order to retire is quite interesting!

"Huh." Old Kugel interjected: "What Leonie said is too simple. When those self-righteous Protestants in the north wanted to judge him, our entire Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, and Hesse were in action.

Fifty thousand people gathered in Stuttgart to protest. That's where the name 'Peace Fighter' came from! Otherwise, he should be in prison now. Maybe that would be better, at least he won't become an alcoholic! And I still have my little lion.

Go take care of him."
