In the gloomy night, a huge dog sled team stopped around the wooden house.

This sled team is indeed large enough, with 26 sleighs, each sleigh loaded with supplies.

But what is strange is that none of the people driving the sleds are wearing German uniforms, and some of their sleds even have a medium-sized Norwegian or British flag tied to them.

When the sleighs came to a stop one after another, a bearded man got out of the first sleigh, walked quickly to Major Schubert and saluted, then shook hands and said, "Major Schubert, long time no see."

"It's been a long time, indeed, Major Aigner. What good things have you brought us this time?" Major Schubert asked with a smile.

"Everything you asked for has been delivered."

The bearded Major Aigner patted the briefcase he was carrying, "And I brought you a gift. Move the gift for them down!"

After giving the order, those driving the sleds immediately gathered around the six sleds at the front, silently lifting the things on them and taking them into the cabin.

What surprised Wei Ran was that among these "gifts", there was actually a sewing machine!

Is this surprising? Of course it is!

For even a small radio operator to generously comply with such a "rude" request is enough to prove how highly this cabin is valued!

There really isn't a 211 base, right?

At one moment, Wei Ran even had a moment of doubt about the authenticity of historical records.

"Come on, let's go in and chat!"

Major Schubert waited until the people carrying the gifts left the cabin, and immediately warmly invited Major Aigner to go inside.

At the same time, Doctors Weiran and Yog, as well as the radio operator Hanno, also brought out the broth that had been cooked in advance and was full of penguin grease, internal organs, and possibly whale meat to replenish energy for the sled dogs.

.

Those driving sled dogs, on the other hand, had no intention of entering the cabin after carrying the gifts. They just asked for a small cup of hot coffee from the kettle in Dr. Yog's hand. After drinking it all, they were busy taking the rest.

The coal, fuel, or other unknown boxes or even bundles of wooden boards loaded on the 20 sleighs were moved down one by one and piled up in different categories.

At the same time, the six sled truck drivers who had emptied their cargo also kept all the sled dogs and sled cars they had brought with them, and then took out the sled dogs in the kennels and hooked them up.

The sleigh is obviously ready to be taken back later.

Even the sled dogs are rotated?

Wei Ran raised his eyebrows slightly and followed Dr. Cross and others into the wooden house.

By the time all six people stationed here were in place, Major Aigner, who had come to deliver supplies, had also taken off his fur robe, revealing the German uniform underneath.

The two parties greeted each other again, and Dr. Jörg also served Major Aigner a portion of the penguin meat stew that he had cooked by himself. He did not forget to complain about the situation that the seasonings were more insufficient than the medicines.

"Don't worry, we brought enough supplies this time."

Major Aigner was particularly talkative, "I brought 50 kilograms of sweet paprika alone, which is enough for you to eat Hungarian stew every day until the next supply arrives.

"Where are the medicines?" Dr. Yoger asked, "We still need medicines."

"Double supply according to your demand"

Major Aigner continued to explain, "I know you are going to ask about vegetables next. Don't worry, Dr. Yog. Whether it's carrots, onions, coffee, black tea and jam, we have brought enough for you to eat for a whole winter.

And I came with a lot of lemons and cans."

Having said this, Aigner looked at Wei Ran and said in a joking tone, "Even the film, cigarettes and spirits that Mr. Victor needs, we have prepared double the amount. Of course, we will also bring you

Here are new clothes."

"This is really the best news," Dr. Cross couldn't help but say.

"Major Aigner, I just saw the sewing machine I need, but have you brought the radio and engine accessories?" Hanno also asked about the supplies he was interested in.

"certainly"

Aigner nodded immediately, "I brought them all, and by the way, I also brought letters written to you by your mother and wife."

With that said, Aigner had already opened his briefcase, took out three envelopes from it, and handed them to Hanno, Carsten and Dr. Cross respectively.

At the same time, he asked bluntly, "Mr. Carsten, and Dr. Cross, I have received news that you have made important discoveries in that location?"

"Indeed it is"

Dr. Cross put down the letter that he had not yet opened, walked to his bedside, opened the small locked wooden box, and explained excitedly, "We found it in the coal seam..."

"Dr. Cross"

Carsten interrupted his explanation and said bluntly, "Just give our findings and report to Major Aigner."

Hearing this, Cross was stunned, and quickly stuffed the things he was about to take out back into the wooden box and locked it.

Upon seeing this, Wei Ran, who was rummaging through the pile of supplies for cigarettes, immediately withdrew his gaze. In that quick glance, he only saw a lot of paper in Cross's box, and a man who seemed to be full of patina but couldn't see the outline clearly.

object.

"Major Aigner"

Schubert picked up the cup and said, "Let's just have a quick drink, and then it's time for you to leave."

"Do any of you plan to leave with me?" Major Aigner asked while picking up the cup.

Seeing Wei Ran and others holding up their cups, Major Aigner took the initiative to clink their cups with everyone, "It seems no one is planning to leave."

After drinking all the wine in the cup, Major Aigner sat down and concentrated on enjoying his portion of penguin meat, but he never started any conversation again.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After finishing the simple meal in less than half an hour, Major Aigner took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, then put on the furry coat

The leather robe first took Cross's wooden box, then took away the photo negatives taken by Wei Ran - the ones in the suitcase on his bed, and finally took a heavy one from Major Schubert.

briefcase.

After loading all these things on the sleigh, Major Aigner saluted and said, "Gentlemen, we will see you in the summer."

"See you in the summer"

Schubert saluted and said goodbye, watching the other party take the sleigh, lead the transport team away from here, and finally disappeared into the vast night.

"Winter has begun"

Schubert sighed as if talking to himself, then cheered up and said, "Hanno, Victor, you are responsible for counting the supplies. Of course, this is the work after opening the gifts."

Before he finished speaking, everyone immediately rushed to the wooden house and began to rummage through the wooden boxes with their names on them.

In the wooden box belonging to the sanitary ware, in addition to several sets of changes of underwear, socks, two sets of white jumpsuits and new shoes, there are hundreds of films in sealed tubes and a set of metal notebooks

The same Robert camera.

Apart from these things, the rest of the boxes with his name on them were all filled with gin and cigarettes stuffed into the gaps between the bottles!

I'm afraid this wicked book mistook me for Professor Alexei...

Wei Ran cursed, picked up two bottles of gin and two packs of cigarettes and put them on the table for sharing, pretending to be curious and looking at the supplies of the others.

Except for the new clothes and shoes, which are unified, the remaining supplies have their own characteristics.

Kross and Carsten's "gifts" mostly consisted of books. In addition to medicines and medical equipment, Dr. Jörg mostly received various seasonings, a Leica camera and dozens of film rolls.

In addition to the sewing machine that could be used as a table, Hanno also received a large roll of silk fabric.

As for Schubert, except for a few bottles of wine, the rest of his gifts were actually coffee beans and a grinder, and of course, a beautiful coffee pot.

Of course, in addition to these, there are more supplies stacked outside the wooden house.

During the subsequent inventory, Wei Ran also noticed that in addition to the coal and barrels of kerosene that had been helped to pile up, the most common items were various vegetables that had been frozen into ice lumps, as well as various canned jams and even finished products.

Bags of flour, cereals.

Obviously, these things are enough for them to survive this long winter. But the return mission written in the metal book also let Wei Ran know that this winter may not be so easy.

While secretly guessing what would happen next, Wei Ran and Han Nuo carefully counted the supplies delivered.

This is obviously not a troublesome job. Judging from Hanno's intention, they don't even need to keep detailed records. The only thing they need to do is to follow the preservation requirements, or store them in empty oil drums outside the wooden house, or send them to

Just go under the bed in the cabin.

By the time they finished the small amount of work, Dr. Jorg had already thrown a large piece of cooked penguin meat to each of the newly appointed sled dogs. In the room, Dr. Cross and Mr. Carsten were already waiting impatiently.

I was flipping through the newspapers that were delivered to me.

Even Schubert had already brewed a pot of fragrant coffee at this time, and even took the initiative to pour a cup for each of Wei Ran and Hanno when he saw them coming in.

"Gentlemen"

Hanno took a sip of coffee and said, "Since Major Schubert hunted enough seals in the summer, and I finally got a sewing machine, if any of you need additional reinforcement for the thermal suit, please send it immediately.

"

"I have been waiting for your words for a long time."

Before Dr. Cross finished speaking, he had handed over a set of one-piece thermal insulation suits and said with great assurance, "Leave it to you, Mr. Hanno."

"And mine"

As he spoke, Carsten also put down the newspaper in his hand, pulled out a brand new thermal suit and handed it to Hanno.

Immediately afterwards, whether it was Major Schubert or Dr. Yog, who was the last one to come in, and even Wei Ran, they all took out a new set of thermal insulation suits and handed them to Hanno. The latter took out several ones from under the bed that had been prepared in advance.

Cut sealskin.
