Bab 42: Behest
This is the Wernst Gustav, which is both familiar and unfamiliar to Heinrich Elena.
His voice was not loud yet tells something of which that cannot be provoked. Any kind of cynicism and oily slickness were swept away on an instant.
Is this the real face of the German hero? Elena is a bit confused.
"Hey, is the creator of the miracle here?" This time, a voice was heard from the outside, and then a booming figure directly walked in, breaking the current silence.
"Manfred." Elena apparently recognized the young and handsome officer who came in. She pointed to Alex. "This is Lieutenant Wernst Gustav."
"A pleasure to met you Lieutenant Wernst!" Manfred looked solemn and saluted in a standard military greeting. "I am Manfred Albrecht von Richtofen of the Second Hunting Squadron. Once agan, It is an honor to see you in person."
Richtofen? THE "Red Baron" Richtofen?
Alex was also shocked and hurried back in a salute.
"I am also very honored to see you."
Richtofen excitedly described Alex's reputation as a miracle creator in the German army, then smiled and said.
"If I let the boys know that I am chatting with THE Wenst Gustav, then they will definitely ask me to drink. A few cups. Ah, this has allowed me to do some flaunting in the capital.. haha."
Manfred was happily talking, and then suddenly found that the current atmosphere between Elena and Wernst we're quite awkward. His mind turned very fast and he understood what was going on.
"Is Nikolai asking you to investigate our hero? That damn paranoid idiot! A stupid pig of Russian descent, always likes to hide in the dark corner and plan his despicable activities. Elena, you don't have to worry about him, I will give him a good spanking sooner or later!"
These words from Richtofen revealed his disdain for Nikolai. Although Nikolai's official title is much higher than him, Manfred von Richtofen, who was born famous and a noble.
Like all young German aristocrats, Richtofen is obsessed with the military and respects the heroes who fought for Germany. He firmly believes that a person who is engaged in intelligence is completely incomparable to a hero like Wernst Gustav.
Elena is silent.
In the spirit of the Old Germania, the women has the same status as the old men and the children, and all the physical work including farming is carried out by them, and unconditionally supports the man who kills on the battlefield.
Although this situation has changed now, this ancient Germanic tradition is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the Germans.
Elena had not easily entered the Military Intelligence Bureau by just the virtue of her family connections. She does not want people to look down on her and wants to make even a little contribution to came out because the words of Colonel Nikolai were always unconditionally enforced.
But now it seems that no matter how hard she would try, she can't understand the world of these men.
In fact, no matter which country, it is the same in any country...
Richtofen's words interrupted Elena's thoughts, "Mr. Wernst, if Elena has something to offend to you, I am willing to apologize in her stead."
He was polite, which made Alex a little bit embarrassed.
"Oh, it is nothing, Mr. Manfred, I am a good friend of Miss Heinrich, is it? Miss Heinrich?"
Elena smirked her mouth widely, which was seen as a playful movement that they could see, and it completely resolved the embarrassing atmosphere.
Richtofen quickly turned his interest to Alex, being someone who was genuinely interested in Alex's performance in battle.
Alex himself was also curious about the infamous "Red Baron".
When he heard that Richtofen was fighting with the British Air Force, he suddenly thought of the air battle that helped him escape the danger. He couldn't help but say.
"Oh, it was you who was fighting that day in the sky. I have to thank you friend. If it weren't for you, I might not have had a chance to escape the British's pursuit."
Both Richtofen and Elena took a shocked glimpse at each other and then back to the brave Lieutenant, and Alex simply described the scene at the time. When he finished, Richtofen couldn't believe what he had heard.
God, when he and the British are fighting in the sky, Lieutenant Wernst is actually fighting below?
Manfred seems to be a little sad: "If I know it earlier, I should have given you more support!"
This is a young aristocrat which is enthusiastic and straightforward to his character, which makes Alex appreciate the young Red Baron.
It is a pity that in two years he will be killed in the sky over Somme, at only 25 years old.
Alex suddenly thought that... maybe... he had a chance to change the Red Baron's destiny? He wants to ask Asuka, but if he thinks about it closely, Asuka will tell him mechanically that history cannot be reversed, otherwise it will cause terrible time and space disasters and so on.
"Heinrich, did you receive an invitation from His Majesty the Emperor?" Richtofen asked suddenly.
Elena nodded. "Yes, my grandfather and father have received an invitation from his Majesty. I will go after with my mother and my brother."
Alex listened to the side as they chatter.
Richtofen sighed: "Unfortunately Mr. Wernst can't go with me, I really should get an invitation to Mr. Wernst..."
Seeing Wernst's confused look, Richtofen explained: "Next month is the twenty-sixth birthday of Prince Joachim. His Majesty the Emperor will hold a grand banquet in order to inspire the morale of the frontline officers. Mr. Wernst can see It is a great honour for us to be under the behest of the Emperor."
His eyes flashed infinite enthusiasm for the emperor, which is also a generality of these young German nobles.
They are willing to follow the emperor unconditionally and fight until they have exhausted their last drop of blood.
Alex is of course interested in seeing the German emperor William II, but it is currently impossible to think about it.
What is his identity? A small time Lieutenant, not an aristocrat, how can I qualify to see William II?
He smiled a little: "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Manfred, but I think my position is still on the front line. If you can see the Emperor, please tell his Majesty of my respects and regard.
It is just a casual talk. Although he wants to see William II, what does a German emperor have to do with himself?
However, Richtofen took it seriously: "You can rest assured, Mr. Wernst, I will pass it on. His Majesty most appreciates a hero such as you, I think he must be interested in seeing you."
Alex just smiled indifferently.
