Lawrence, who had changed into military uniform, stood in his regimental headquarters, with the division commander himself sitting in his seat.
Division Commander Hertzman slapped the table angrily, like a lion roaring, causing the guards outside the door to feel great fear.
But Lawrence just stood upright. As a veteran who had fought countless times on the battlefield, he was not afraid.
"You idiot, I don't object to you finding a woman for entertainment, but who gave you permission to bring the woman back? That woman is not under the management of our army, and now her boss comes to me directly, what do you want me to do?!"
Hertzman kept saying things like this, and although Lawrence was not afraid of anything, it became increasingly unbearable after hearing too much.
He retorted fiercely: "That woman was an ordinary rural woman. She was arrested, not of her own free will!"
Hertzman was stunned: "I thought you were mute!"
"That woman was indeed forced!"
"But didn't you already have a deal with that woman? You did something even more outrageous. You actually thought of bribery and led the person to the front line! It has been more than ten days since the incident happened. You have been living so comfortably during this period!"
"Yes! I admit that I took the woman there without permission out of selfish motives, but the woman was forced to work. We German soldiers should be gentlemen, not criminals. Since the woman is not willing, why let us
Soldiers go and become sinners who insult women! My principles do not allow this."
"So you brought her back?" Hertzman smiled bitterly, "I thought you were in love with her!"
Lawrence gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Yes! I fell in love with her. You know that I am not married. If possible, I would marry that woman."
"A defiled Russian woman?! Your thoughts are so crazy! You are a noble Aryan, how can you marry a woman from an inferior ethnic group? Do you know that your actions and words are enough to get you taken away by the Gestapo?
We can even imprison you in the Dachau concentration camp!"
This time Lawrence was determined. From what the teacher said, he not only understood that the teacher had not reported the matter, but he must have hoped to resolve the matter on his own. Furthermore, he obviously wanted to protect himself, maybe
Is it because he is the only wiser officer in the 707th Division?
Lawrence asked tentatively: "So how do you deal with this?"
"How to deal with it?" Hertzman smiled bitterly again, "How else to deal with it? You come up with two thousand Reichsmarks."
"What?! Two thousand marks?! That's so much money?"
"Yes, I know you have accumulated a lot of money. You have earned a lot of bonuses for your military exploits in past battles, and the allowances you received are rarely spent. Don't you have family in the country? You are doing this for a Russian woman.
Spend money."
Lawrence said bluntly: "Indeed, I don't have any family members at home, so I can fight here without any worries."
"Okay, this time you have to spend even more money for that woman. I think you can already guess that the reason why I want you to have two thousand Reichsmarks is the request made by the boss. As long as we provide two thousand Reichsmarks, the matter will be treated as such."
It never happened. When the boss reported it, he reported that the missing woman died of influenza, and the body was directly burned."
"Damn it! That bastard actually blackmailed me, I really should kill him!"
"That's right, it's blackmail." Hertzman said with a dull face, "If you hadn't been unable to control your pants, how could this have happened today? But you have already explained it yourself, and it may not be of any use to you to have so much money in your hand.
.Take it out now and I will help you settle this matter."
"this……"
"Are you an idiot?" Hertzman raised his voice, "Why do you think I am working so hard to protect you? Our division already lacks grassroots officers who are good at fighting. If you are taken away by the Gestapo, who else can I rely on?"
Of course, if the money is not in place, the boss will report it to the Gestapo in Gomel City, and your military status will not be preserved!"
Lawrence thought for a moment and continued to ask: "But even if the money is given to that person, how can we ensure that he will not continue to blackmail or betray?"
"Don't worry, that boss won't seek death to continue blackmailing. Besides, even if he plans to continue blackmailing, where is the woman? Haha! No more! Disappeared! That man will be arrested by the Gestapo for slander."
Lawrence lowered his head silently. Suddenly, he understood all the teacher's thoughts. He suddenly raised his head and stared ferociously: "What? Does that woman have to die?!"
"Nonsense, you actually brought a woman to the front line. Do you plan to let other troops follow suit? If my soldiers are addicted to women, how can we fight this battle? Our unbreakable trench defense will definitely be destroyed by these Russian women
Corroded! I even thought that that woman had another background, that she was a Russian spy!"
"No! She is definitely not a spy."
"Whether she is a spy or not, that woman must die! Lawrence, there are only two ways before you now. The first is to obey my order and spend two thousand Reichsmarks to eliminate the disaster. The second is that I
Immediately remove you from your post, and then notify the field Gestapo of your crimes. As for that woman, she must die! Because if she doesn’t die, you may be the one who dies!”
At this moment, Lawrence, who had once been fearless, finally became afraid.
He really didn't want Kaya to die, and now it seemed that he could no longer protect that woman.
"You can't even protect your own woman, what a waste!" Lawrence blamed himself deeply in his heart. In short, he understood that that woman did not belong to him after all.
In any case, he and she had been an affectionate couple for more than ten days. If he wanted to break off the bad relationship, he had to do it himself. Suddenly, a possibility emerged in Lawrence's mind.
Seeing that his subordinates were silent, Hertzman continued to ask: "Have you thought about it?"
"I've thought about it! I will get the money quickly. As for that woman, since she must die, leave the execution to me."
"for you?"
"Yes. This happened because of me, and it should end because of me. Don't worry, I won't be merciful!"
Hertzman didn't think much. He waved his hand and said: "Okay, the body will be buried quickly after the shooting. If another woman is found from you in the future, I can't spare you! Now you can go back and the execution will be carried out tomorrow morning. You
Better keep your promise."
Lawrence acted immediately, opened the locked wooden cabinet, grabbed a wad of banknotes and handed it to the division commander.
After a little counting, it was almost 2,500 marks.
"Haha, Lawrence, you are really rich. It's crazy to give so much money to a blackmailer." So Hertzman took out 500 marks, "You'd better buy more grain and sausages with this money, so that your soldiers can have more meals."
! Who knows how this war will end for us, at least let everyone live comfortably in this difficult environment, not just you alone!"
After that, Hertzman stood up and walked out the door. He left the regiment headquarters under Lawrence's watch, and actually got into the jeep and drove away. Only a few military police remained here, continuing to guard the prisoners.
Woman in a wooden house.
What should we do? If the division commander takes away all the military police, things will be easier to handle!
No, we must find a way to eliminate the military police.
