Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 17: Discovered

"The Marshal's body is very strong, and his condition is better than we thought." Lieutenant Schneider, a military physician with the armed police brigade, reported to Lieutenant Colonel Ludwig.

"The warhead has been taken out. The assassin used a 7.65mm pistol. The bullet penetrated the marshal’s upper arm, rubbed the first-class Iron Cross, and hit his sixth. Ribs. After the rib fractures, they failed to penetrate the chest cavity. I can only say that the marshal was very lucky. I have only heard of this before, and this is the first time I have seen it with my own eyes." Major Haider pointed to the projection lamp. Speaking of X-ray film.

"Because the main blood vessel was not injured and the rescue was timely, the blood loss was not very serious. We have already transfused the marshal. As for the penetrating injury of the marshal's upper arm, we have sutured it because it did not damage the bones and tendons Wound." Lieutenant Schneider added.

"Now we are most worried that the wound may be infected. It is best to contact Berlin immediately and ask them to send the newly developed antibiotics." Major Heidel suggested to Colonel Davidson next to him.

"You give me a list of the medicines you need, and I will send someone to contact Berlin as soon as possible." Davidson nodded and replied.

"The Colonel, Public Concession Director-General Keswick and Police Commissioner Barrett want to see you immediately. They want to apologize to you in person." A lieutenant stood at the office door and knocked wide open. Closed door.

"Tell them that unless the murderer is caught, I will not see any of them until the Marshal wakes up." Colonel Davidson said calmly.

"Just reply to them like this? Sir." The lieutenant confirmed.

"Respond to them like this. They have never seen a city like this. They should be ashamed of what happened today. If they have a little bit of guilt, they should be on the street now and hunt for that Damn assassin, not coming to me to express any apologies!" Colonel Davidson tried to suppress the anger in his chest, and finally did not say anything more piercing.

"Understood, sir." The lieutenant stood erect, then turned and left.

"My people have set up sentries around, and the Tomahawk Brigade will do their best to protect the safety of your marshal." Ludwig's face is very bad now, Blumberg was assassinated as a guard of the special mission The Tomahawk Brigade cannot escape the blame. The honor of the SS has been tarnished and can only be erased with the blood of the killer and the commander behind it.

Actually speaking, the Tomahawk Battalion was completely affected by the unwarranted disaster. Originally, Blumberg didn't plan to bring them to Shanghai. The problem is that since they have appeared, they should take the responsibility of the guard. No matter how special the circumstances at the time were, dereliction of duty was dereliction of duty, and Ludwig could not refute it.

"I ask for your permission, Colonel. If we find traces of the murderer, I ask you to allow us to dispatch. We will personally save the honor of the brigade and make up for the mistakes we made." Ludwig said sincerely to Davidson Bowed his head.

"If conditions permit, I will fight for you. I should let these mice know what the consequences of offending the German Empire will be." Davidson knew the block in Ludwig's heart, and he also understood This incident really cannot blame the Armed Police Brigade, because when the incident happened, they were still performing in a queue by the Bund to show the citizens the military might of the Third Reich.

"It is said that the assassin was an agent sent by Chongqing, and his target was Japanese Foreign Minister Mazi Oga." Lieutenant Colonel Roch, who was talking with Baron Le Bernau in the corner, turned his face and said.

"I doubt this. The Marshal had already greeted Chongqing before he came to Shanghai. Jiang Zhongzheng promised to stop all spy operations in Shanghai during the period of Marshal’s visit to Shanghai. Respect." Davidson thinks the problem is not that simple.

"Maybe the assassins of other organizations. There are many spontaneous anti-Japanese organizations in China, and not all of them are controlled by Chongqing." Baron Le Bernau put forward his views.

"Everyone, I just made a new discovery." At this moment, Major Kuler rushed into the office with a file bag.

"Didn't you go to help the French identify the scene? Do you have a clue to the assassin." Davidson asked hurriedly.

"Although it's not a direct clue, it's almost the same. I got a photo of the scene at the moment of the assassination. At least 20 cameras recorded the scene at that moment. There are also film films, but that requires professional processing equipment. It will take a while to get it." Major Kulle walked to the desk, opened the file bag, and spread the photos inside on the table.

"These photos are the clearest, and you can see the rough appearance of the murderer."

Kule selected a few photos and put them aside. The crowd gathered around, and one person picked up a photo and looked at it carefully.

"It turns out that the assassin looks like this. It seems that this **** is not afraid of being recognized by others at all." Lieutenant Colonel Ludwig said, biting his molars.

"I was standing there at the time, less than ten meters away from the assassin." Le Bernau touched the back of his head, and the picture reminded him of that thrilling moment.

"We were all at the scene, oh, except for Lieutenant Colonel Ludwig. I don't see anything special about these photos, Kuhler, what the discovery you are talking about is." Davidson looked at Ordnance in confusion. expert.

"Of course, there is nothing special in these photos. But these photos were taken from behind the murderer's side. Although the murderer's face was not captured, but..." Keller reads from the pile of photos Pick out the other ones and put them aside.

"Look at the relative position of the assassin and the marshal. This picture is particularly obvious." The ordnance expert suddenly turned into a detective. He pointed to one of the pictures and said.

"Don't understand? I'll draw a sketch to make it clear." Kuler took out a piece of white paper from the file box, picked up the pen in the ink bottle, and immediately drew the sketch.

"The Marshal was in this position at the time. The Japanese Foreign Minister was here. The murderer rushed out from this place and shot at the Japanese Foreign Minister. The result was that he hit the Marshal." Kuler's style is very freehand, which reminds people of beauty. Childhood, but the general meaning is still understandable.

"After carefully comparing these photos, I found that the murderer was probably not a missed shot at all. His initial target was your marshal." Kuler put down his pen and said a surprising conclusion.

"Looking at this photo, it is very clear. From the perspective of the murderer, the Marshal and the Japanese Foreign Minister do not overlap each other, and the distance between the two is at least one meter. Also, judging from the assassin’s behavior at the time, He was obviously confident in his abilities, and even spent two seconds shouting slogans during the period, so it was impossible to point the gun at the wrong target at the last moment." Keller pointed to another photo and said.

"This is the Browning 1910, which is very popular in the Asian market. I believe that many of you have used this pistol. You should know that this weapon has very good directivity. The two sides were six or seven meters apart. At this distance, such a big deviation is impossible. So I think that the target of the murderer’s assassination is the marshal, and the so-called anti-Japanese slogan is just a smoke bomb he used to cover up the truth.” Keller finished his opinion with his face There was a trace of complacency.

"If Major Kuhler's judgment is correct..." Ludwig was taken aback by the information he had just heard, which meant that there might be a second assassination.

"We are going to seal off the entire floor, and any unrelated persons are forbidden to enter the floor." Obviously Davidson thought of this too.

"I'll notify him immediately." Lieutenant Schneider nodded and said, seeing Ludwig's hope to himself.

"At the same time, it requires the cooperation of the Ministry of Industry and Administration to strictly identify the identity of the staff in the hospital, especially the Chinese."

"You mean Chinese..." Haider asked.

"I know what you are thinking. Before the matter is over, anyone can be bought by a conspirator." After listening to Major Keller's discovery, Davidson couldn't believe anyone at this time.

"Who can prove that Major Kuhler's judgment is correct? Perhaps this assassin made a mistake at the last moment, which is also a common occurrence." At this moment, Baron Le Bernau raised a different opinion.

"It is possible that you said, Baron. But we cannot prove that the major’s judgment is wrong. According to my opinion, there are indeed many suspicious aspects of this assassination. If they want to assassinate the Japanese Foreign Minister, there are other opportunities. Why? On this occasion, risk the risk of accidentally injuring others and openly carry out this assassination."

"Perhaps it was to declare their determination to resist to the world, just like Sarajevo."

"What you said makes sense, Mr. Baron, but how do you explain that the assassin's gun will deviate so much from the target."

"As I said just now, the major, perhaps just a mistake, after all, under the full view of the public, he needs to bear a lot of pressure." Everyone in the office began to argue.

"Enough. Before catching the assassin, any possibility must be considered. Major Kuler can follow up and continue the investigation. I hope you can find the truth as soon as possible. I hope that any part of the mission will People are not allowed to express their opinions to the media to avoid being used by hidden enemies. Everyone should know the severity of it." Colonel Davidson stopped the meaningless argument and said to the colleagues present with a serious expression.

"Well, I agree. I'm sorry, Major, you know I am not against you." Le Bernau said to Keller.

"I understand, Baron, the possibility you are considering does exist. After the film is developed and analyzed from the dynamic scene, you should be able to draw a clearer conclusion." Major Kuler responded generously.

"Mr. Colonel, the marshal has awakened. He wants to see you immediately, as well as this Lieutenant Colonel Ludwig." A doctor in a white coat stood at the door and informed, perhaps because of the pestle by the door. Because of a SS with an mp40 slung on his chest, the western doctor looked pale.

"Thank you, doctor." Hearing that the marshal had awakened, Davidson finally showed a smile on his face.

"I'm going to see the marshal now. If I have any questions, I will continue to discuss it when I come back." After the colonel finished speaking, he strode out of the room.

"Dr. Albert Schmidt." Ludwig followed Davidson out of the office~ IndoMTL.com~ When passing by the doctor, he suddenly stopped and pointed to the doctor's ID badge on his chest. Asked.

"Yes, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel." Schmidt's expression was a bit cautious.

"Are you a German?" Ludwig twisted his neck with his fingers clasped at the neckline.

"Yes, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel." The doctor lowered his head to avoid the eyes of the SS Lieutenant Colonel.

"Jew?" Ludwig held the holster around his waist.

"Yes, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel." The doctor's voice and body began to tremble.

"Oh." The SS lieutenant colonel nodded, then turned and walked towards the ward at the top of the corridor.

The Jewish doctor who was half-frightened was leaning against the wall and breathing hard. He decided to resign to the hospital today. The black uniform full of the building really made him frightened.

"By the way, doctor." The SS lieutenant colonel stopped and greeted him back.

"Are there any more orders, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel." The Jewish doctor shuddered all over, and he hurriedly straightened up and responded respectfully.

"It's okay, I just want to thank you for your treatment of the marshal." The SS lieutenant colonel nodded slightly to the doctor.

"This is my duty as a doctor, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel."

"If you have time, I want to chat with you later."

"Anytime, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel." The doctor tried to restrain the thought of running away, and replied respectfully.

ps: Thank you for your monthly pass and rewards. I will continue to work hard. (To be continued.)
