Chapter 2 The Hercules Project
"Second Lieutenant, this is a personal item sent to you by the gendarmerie. If you need anything else, please contact the hotel headquarters!" The hotel lobby manager in a black tuxedo put a small wooden box on the coffee table and bowed and left the room.
Qin Lun looked up at this luxurious hotel suite. This hotel is only a five-minute walk from Marion Square, which is considered the most upscale hotel in Munich. The furniture in the rooms is mainly rosewood and rosewood, which looks elegant and noble, with the classical aristocratic style of the Renaissance.
Opening the wooden box sent by the hotel manager, Qin Lun looked at the personal belongings that Gerthard had stored in the gendarmerie before he was imprisoned.
There were not many things in the wooden box, a Ruger pistol, a WEMPE German air military watch, and some miscellaneous notepads and small objects. The most eye-catching one is an Iron Cross with a small Nazi Wanli character "天" in the center.
Qin Lun's eyes lit up, he took out the Iron Cross Medal, wore it between his collar, and proudly turned around in front of the mirror.
When he was reading history books in Handan Prison, he liked this medal of honor that represented courage and dedication, especially the Iron Cross issued by the Third German Empire in history.
Gu Fang admired herself for a while, Qin Lun finally poured himself a glass of red wine, sat on the mahogany chair, and thought about what Skolzny said to him that day.
The Second World War in this time and space is not similar to the history that Qin Lun knows. The German army conquered Stalingrad at the end of 1942. In the summer of 1943, it once again besieged Moscow, the capital of the Soviet Union, and forced Stalin to make the decision to move the capital to the Far East at the end of the year.
The Allied Normandy landings began nearly a year ahead of schedule and started in July 1943. It took three months. The Americans expected that the decision to easily pick the fruits of victory turned into a catastrophe.
By the end of 1944, not mentioning the Asian battlefield, the number of casualties of the US military in the European battlefield had reached three million, of which more than 60% of the death toll was more than ten times that of Qin Lun's time and space.
However, perhaps affected by the historical inertia of another space-time plane, although the Third German Empire is stronger and more brilliant, it is still slowly moving towards destruction.
In 1945, the Third Reich also shed blood under the siege of the whole world and uncontrollably walked into the empire dusk.
However, other Western powers were extremely tired of this protracted war and were eager to end the war. At this time, the SS Foreign Intelligence Department obtained a top-secret information.
The heads of the three countries, including US President Roosevelt, Soviet leader Stalin and British Prime Minister Churchill, will meet in Casablanca, the largest city in Morocco.
The specific content of the meeting was not mentioned in the intelligence department. According to existing clues, the three major allies of this conference will integrate the unconventional war forces in their respective homes. The integrated war power of the allies may have a leap forward, which will be extremely unfavorable to the future war situation of the Third Reich.
After obtaining this intelligence, the SS Foreign Intelligence Department immediately reported to the head of the empire Hitler. Hitler ordered the recruitment of Germany's most outstanding warriors and special abilities to form a special operation team.
After the formation of the special operations team, led by Lieutenant Colonel Skorzny, the commander of the Oninberg Special Forces, will immediately go to Casablanca, Morocco. The primary goal of the operation is to assassinate the three leaders of the Allies, and the secondary goal is to detect the unconventional war forces that the three great powers are planning to integrate.
The combat plan of the Special Operations Team is codenamed the Apostle's main mission - "Hercules"!
Hercules is one of the most famous heroes in Greek mythology, the son of the main god Zeus and Arcmene. Because of his origin, he was hated by Zeus's wife Hera. Later, he completed the twelve tasks that King Euros deliberately made things difficult for him, and was hailed as "impossible".
The German headquarters named this combat plan "Hercules", showing the difficulties that arise in this combat plan, just like the twelve "impossible" tasks encountered by Hercules. Hercules's great achievements in finally completing the twelve tasks also embodies the head of state Hitler's ardent expectations for the Special Operations Team.
Looking at the mission content already displayed on the death list, Qin Lun grinned and showed his snow-white teeth. He liked this mission that was full of unknowns and challenges from the beginning.
No wonder the difficulty of this task extends from the sergeant level to the caliber level. If you want to participate in assassination of the three leaders of the Allied Powers, you really need a third-level high-level apostle to have this ability.
If it weren't for the Special Operations Team and other powerful plot characters, Qin Lun would have had to give up regretfully. He likes challenges and mysterious adventures, but the premise cannot be to die.
After only half a day of rest in the hotel, the commander of the Rangers Skolzny came over. In addition to the special forces at Fort Onin, there were two men and one woman.
"Gethard, this is Captain Bock of the Air Force Paratroopers... This is Baron Weidenbele, and Mrs. Monica!" Skolzny pointed to the two men and one woman and introduced.
Qin Lun looked up from left to right and looked at the three of them. Captain Bock, who was also a lieutenant with him, was wearing a field blue officer uniform. He was serious and straight, and he shook hands with him concisely. His rigorous smile was a hint of indifference. He was a typical German soldier.
Baron Weidenbele has a handsome face, about thirty years old, with a big back and a mustache. He is wearing a gray dress with a vest and a white shirt and a black top hat.
When the Baron saw Qin Lun looking at him, he took off his hat, put his cane under his armpit, and politely stretched out his hand.
"I'm glad to see another German combat hero!" Weidenbele's gaze swept past Qin Lun's Iron Cross, and nodded with a smile.
"I'm also very happy to meet an orthodox Junker!" Qin Lun said calmly, learning the cold expression that Gothard should have in his memory, "However, the Empire has long abolished the title of nobles, and it doesn't seem appropriate to call yourself a baron!"
(Germany abolished the aristocratic title system during the Weimar Republic)
"Haha, my title was awarded by the German Emperor, not my own!" Weidenbele smiled and shrugged without any hesitation, "I don't care if there is this title, but my friends who are familiar with each other are used to calling me, so everyone continues it!"
"Please forgive my recklessness!" Qin Lun apologized at the right time, still a little surprised.
You should know that there are only three people who can be called emperors in the German Empire, William I, Friedrich III and William II. Even William II, who abdicated in 1918, is still twenty-seven years away from now.
If it were true as Weidenbele said, his baron was personally awarded by the German Emperor, and since then he had been called accustomed to his friends. Then he must have received this title as early as 1918, and he should have been an adult at that time, and he was definitely not as old as he seemed to be in his thirties.
It seems that he is probably one of the strange people that Lieutenant Colonel Skolzny said! Qin Lun's mind was turning rapidly, and his eyes looked at the last member of the Rangers and the only woman.
Compared to Weidenbeller, who was dressed in a dress, Madame Monica was less like the main force of the Rangers who were going to participate in combat missions. The lady wore a flower-arranged top hat and a palace dress. She had a black princess dress on the outside, a shirt with ribbon-edged lace on the inside, and a velvet vest on her shoulders.
In addition to the incongruousness of the clothing and the atmosphere, Mrs. Monica seemed well-educated and mature beauty. Her slender figure out of the princess dress was bulging in front and raised back, her eyebrows were slender, and her chin was round. Although her cheeks were cut and her cheekbones were a bit high, it had the unique cold and arrogant beauty of Eastern European beauty.
"I'm honored to meet you, beautiful lady!" Qin Lun leaned over and bowed with a bow.
"Lieutenant Gerthard, please don't have to be too polite!" Mrs. Monica took off her long gloves and reached her jade hand in front of Qin Lun.
Monica's actions made Qin Lun stunned, and soon came to her senses. She hurriedly took the woman's little hand and kissed her with her lips.
"Haha!" The young man's clumsy kiss made everyone chuckled subconsciously.
"Okay, except for the interrogation expert Mr. Klug, hired by the Intelligence Department, all the rangers in Munich have arrived!" Skolzny clapped his palms and let everyone's attention return to him. "Please be patient and don't go out! In the afternoon, we will take a special train to Hamburg, meet with several other rangers from Berlin, and set off for Casablanca immediately!"
Then Skolzny asked about the weapons and equipment needed by everyone, and left everyone alone. As the afternoon approached, Lieutenant Colonel SS not only brought back the weapons and items requested by everyone, but also the interrogation expert Klug.
Despite his completely different physical appearance, Qin Lun soon recognized the familiar "interrogation expert" and another serial murderer - Joker Grant.
When everyone arrived at the military train station outside Munich, Qin Lun also met Lin Feng, Xiaolian and the shemale Lily from the accompanying special forces team. Lin Feng's identity is the communication soldier of the Rangers, and Xiaolian is a battlefield ambulance.
When Qin Lun saw Lily's identity, his mouth twitched slightly. Lily actually changed from a shemale to a beautiful plot, and was a secretary and secretary with a charming figure. If this was not the evil taste of breaking the starry sky, then it probably calculated the most suitable role for the apostle's personality when arranging the identity of the apostle.
This train was an armored army dispatched by the German military. The carriage and front of the train were covered with thick steel armor, and there was a 650mm train cannon in the middle. In addition, there was a squadron of Oninberg special forces on the train, who were the most basic human resources part of the Rangers.
If it can arrive in Casablanca safely, in the Hercules Project, this special forces squadron will be responsible for creating chaos in the city and cutting off the back. All German special forces in the squadron, including several medical personnel and communication troop, have written suicide notes, and none of them intend to leave Casablanca alive.
