Chapter 876 The German Captain who is struggling to make a fortune
"Dominique! You are finally here!"
Sophie and Dominic hugged each other gently. The latter waited for the other party to let go, then immediately opened her small satchel and said eloquently, "Sister Sophie, my mother said that you must not have enough paint. She took me with her
I went to many stores to buy these."
"Thank you," Sophie asked with anticipation, "Are you still leaving this time?" "Not leaving."
Captain Letz waited for Wei Ran to come over, and then introduced, "His Dominic's cousin Victor came here with Dominic to take refuge this time, but he has to work with me for a few days first.
.Victor, this is my daughter Sophie."
"Is there anything else delivered?" Sophie asked in confusion after shaking hands with Wei Ran in a ceremonial manner.
"certainly"
Captain Letts asked the militia to use oil pipes to connect the oil drums lying horizontally on the half-track motorcycle with the oil drums in the mill. He explained in a low voice, "Winter is coming soon, and the supplies in the city are getting more and more."
I'm nervous. In order to survive this winter, we must stock up on more food and drink.
We also need to stock up on some more medicines for Dominica, as well as coal and fuel. Without these things, this winter will be very difficult.”
At this point, Captain Letts had already taken off his hair. Compared to the serious face of this middle-aged man, when he revealed his severely bald Mediterranean hairstyle, his whole person became extremely happy.
"When will Uncle Carsten and Aunt Heidi come over?" Sophie asked, putting her hands on Dominic's shoulders, "and your brother Bruno.
"Uncle Letts, when will my parents and my brother come over?" Dominic subconsciously looked at Captain Letts riding on the half-track motorcycle.
"They still have to wait"
Captain Letts sighed and explained in a low voice, "Your brother was just born last month. It is too dangerous for him to live here now. Besides, your parents still have work to do, and they are also busy now."
There is no way to leave.
"Oh." Dominic nodded with regret.
"Okay, now is not the time to chat." Captain Letts glanced at his watch, "Hurry up and get all the supplies down!"
Upon hearing this, a girl named Sophie immediately helped pick up a 20-liter oil drum and brought it to the mill, and also brought out two empty barrels.
Seeing this, Weiran and Dominic immediately came to help and moved all the oil drums in the oil truck.
After the ammunition boxes in the car driven by Wei Ran were brought in, Sophie immediately lifted the floor, revealing half a 200-liter oil drum floating on the water. Under the command of this girl, a
A 20-liter oil drum was thrown down. After the oil drums filled with fuel floated away along the current, she picked through the ammunition boxes and found a few written in inconspicuous khaki paint.
He picked up the boxes with the German word "eh" on them, called for Wei Ran's help, and put them all into the oil drum used as a boat.
"Dominique, come down quickly."
Sophie, who was standing in the water, raised her neck, spread her arms and extended an invitation to Dominic, who was squatting on the edge of the opening in the floor.
"No! I don't want to!" Dominic simply shook his head, "It's too dark in here, I don't want to go!"
"Get down!" Captain Letts, who had been standing guard at the entrance of the mill with a gun from the beginning to the end, said with a cold face.
"Plop!" Dominic, who said he didn't want it a second ago, immediately jumped down. "Victor, you can get down too."
Captain Letts still did not turn around, "Help Sophie move the things and come back quickly. We have to make a trip tonight."
"I'll be back soon," Wei Ran said and jumped in.
Holding on to the damp stone wall and walking forward for a few steps, Sophie at the front turned on the square box flashlight for lighting, and used a rope to pull the half-filled oil drum in the wooden box forward. From time to time,
, and also kick an oil drum that floats a little slowly.
After turning several turns in a row, Wei Ran also saw two animal traps hanging on the wall that were as big as a washbasin.
Although these animal traps do not
It has a toothed blade, but just by looking at its size, you can tell that Timov must have been pinched in the leg by this thing, otherwise he wouldn't have screamed so miserably.
After struggling to walk out of the narrow hole, Wei Ran immediately discovered that the moat at this time was full of water. Moreover, although there were far less pine trees here than in later generations, the ruins in the center of the moat were full of water.
It is covered with various creeping plants and weeds.
If it weren't for the fact that there was still a relatively intact bell tower next to the church that was mostly destroyed by the bombing, it would be difficult to tell that this was not a wasteland but the ruins of a castle.
After coming back to his senses, Wei Ran quickly helped Sophie and Dominic carry the things they had worked so hard to transport to the shore.
Seeing that Sophie had no intention of inviting him in, Wei Ran stopped insisting, took out the flashlight from the metal book, turned it on, turned around and walked back.
When he returned to the mill, Captain Letts immediately restored the floor to its original state, and reached into the cracks in the floor to fiddle with it. Then he limped and greeted the guard to board the car and walked along the creek.
Returned to the fortress along the same route.
Without resting at all, the two men reloaded the half-track motorcycle with fuel, and then moved ammunition boxes one by one from under a piece of canvas and loaded them onto the motorcycle.
When the two of them drove the car and left the fortress again, the stars and the occasional U.S. bombers flying over were already vaguely visible in the fragmented night sky above their heads.
Still without turning on the lights, the two half-track motorcycles were less than five meters apart from each other and once again arrived at the forest mill in the dark.
In just one round of effort, the oil drum that Sophie had taken away along the waterway had been emptied and returned, and the girl had been waiting with the oil pipe for a long time.
After working in the dark to fill the wet oil drums with fuel, Wei Ran once again helped to put a few picked out ammunition boxes into the oil drum boat in the waterway, and helped them to the opposite shore.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When he emerged from under the floor of the mill again, Letz had been waiting for a long time.
Before Wei Ran could fasten the opened floor, Captain Letts threw an empty oil drum down, closed the opened floor himself, put his hand into the gap and groped around, and then called to Wei Ran.
He unloaded the remaining items from the car and piled them in the corner of the mill.
However, what Wei Ran didn't know was that just as the empty oil drum was pushed by the water flow and floated out of one end, it was immediately picked up by Sophie who was waiting here and put aside.
Immediately afterwards, the girl began to work hard to turn the switch dial of the water gate beside her. Amidst the creaking noise, the cast iron water gate slowly closed, and the water level in the not-so-wide waterway was also rising rapidly.
At the same time, Letz had already tied the iron chain around the leaky wooden door, and while walking toward the cleared half-track motorcycle with Wei Ran outside, he explained in a low voice, "This is the armed labor force in the forest.
They will come here to replenish ammunition according to the allocated time period, so that they don’t have to go back to the fort to replenish ammunition, which is not only far away, but also easily exposed when they frequently enter and exit the fort during the day.”
Having said this, Captain Letts paused, and almost said in Wei Ran's ear, "These days, you help me transport the last few things, and then I will find an opportunity to let you die in battle. Then you can
I rushed here by myself and followed the waterway to the other side."
Seeing Wei Ran open his mouth to say something, Letz added an additional reminder, "Also, don't try to walk across the ground. I don't even remember how many mines there are."
"You...when did you start preparing?" Wei Ran asked with a strange expression.
"Ever since I lost a leg in the Polish battle and was sent back."
Captain Leitz, who seemed to be in no hurry to leave, took out the cane fixed to the side of the fuel tank, tapped his left calf bone lightly and made a "bang bang bang" sound, "It's just that I didn't expect that this place would also change."
It became a battlefield."
"So, since 1939..."
"40 years"
Leitz said proudly, "I stayed in a field hospital in Poland for more than two months before I came back, even though those damn Poles took away one of my
Legs, but I also took this opportunity to leave the front line and became a logistics quartermaster."
"Just the quartermaster?" Wei Ran asked with a strange expression, "The quartermaster from the Mountain Division?"
"Smart boy, I did come from the 1st Mountain Division, but I wasn't a quartermaster back then."
Letz confused Wei Ran's question with an insincere compliment, and at the same time changed the subject without leaving a trace, "What about you? What's wrong with your hand?"
"Sniper" Wei Ran tried his best to make his tone sound sincere, while also exposing as little unnecessary content as possible.
"You're lucky"
Letz struggled to move his crippled leg into the driver's seat, still speaking in a low voice, "I just used one finger to get the opportunity to leave the front line. This is a very good deal, but it's a little late.
If it was 4 years ago, maybe you could do more for me."
"If there's anything you need me to do now, I'm still very happy to help you." Wei Ran said sincerely.
"Just keep this place a secret."
Captain Letts had already started the car as he spoke, "Okay, stay close, we have to make one last trip to deliver some things to another supply point, and by the way see what goodies they picked up from the battlefield.
"
Are they still German?
No, no, no, is this still a rank army?
In other words, how "smart" does a disabled soldier of the Mountain Division who only participated in the Polish campaign have to be in order to transform into a quartermaster wearing a rank army uniform?
Wei Ran glanced at Captain Letts, who was particularly blurry in the night, with a strange expression. Although this quartermaster had a serious face, his behavior was clearly that of a philistine businessman who made money from the "national crisis"!
