Chapter 9 National Anthem

Oh? You can speak German?" He became interested, "It sounds like a Berlin accent. Have you been to Germany?"

Damn it! This clearly shows that one is still doubting oneself! If you don't speak up, you might lose your life!

To defend our motherland

Advance, advance, Dombrovski

We will return across the sea

"What is your name?" The person suddenly took out a notebook and a pen, and asked very seriously

"Tian, what happened? Why was it a German who brought you here?"

He raised his head, his eyes wide open as he looked around, seemingly unaffected by the impending events, calm and composed, with a hint of a smile at the corners of his mouth. He gazed at the people around him, observing the ruins of the houses that once surrounded the square.

A circle of armed German soldiers surrounded the Polish civilians who had come to witness the execution. In the center, nearly forty Poles stood in a square formation, handcuffed, arranged in rows of six or seven, making a total of six rows.

Qin Tian! You can be even more foolish! Your mouth can be even faster!

Along the way, more and more Poles emerged, supporting each other as they came out from the ruins, cellars, and even sewers. Most were in tattered clothing, looking haggard, with dust swirling in the cold wind. Everyone was shivering, their expressions calm, so calm that it seemed numb, a numbness that conveyed a profound sadness.

No, he is no longer in Poland

Qin Tian reflected for a moment and suddenly realized that he seemed to be quite impressive now

Without a moment's hesitation, she rushed over, embraced her, and began to cry: "Catherine, my heavens!"

There was almost no time for anyone to react; the six gunshots merged into one, the echoes still reverberating, and on the ground lay six corpses.

Qin Tian watched the figure of Augustine walking away, feeling a chill as the cold wind swept past her

Qin Tian did not know how to determine the ranks of the German army, and could only follow behind, secretly feeling anxious and guessing.

How did it come to this place

The German officer solemnly accepted the money and was about to speak when a sudden broadcast came from outside, somewhat noisy, initially in German, rapidly saying something that was unclear to those who were not proficient in the language

I came to find my brother, as he is attending university here. Speaking of the unfamiliar Qin Jiu, Qin Tian felt somewhat downcast

Qin Tian then remembered that the Chinese pronunciation of "go die" is almost identical to the German colloquial expression for "goodbye". In other words, if you say "go die" to a German, they might think you are bidding them farewell

Poland did not perish

This time, out of more than fifty employees in Warsaw, only ten returned, along with five international students and Aunt Santa. The hall fell silent for a moment, and the manager said with a hint of reluctance: "Take half a day off, we will go there and take a look"

This body carries memories of German, French, and some fragmented Chinese, while I possess Chinese, English, and some fragmented German, and have learned some broken Polish. In other words, by combining the two, I have fluent German, French, Chinese, English, and some broken Polish. What a versatile talent I am! How wonderful it would be to travel back in time!

Poland will not perish

As soon as she finished speaking, she regretted it

Among these people, how many have lost their children, relatives, husbands, wives, fathers, mothers, and lovers, and how many will lose their children, relatives, husbands, wives, fathers, mothers, and lovers in the future

He paused for a moment, slightly turned his body, and Qin Tian noticed that his hand still seemed to be resting on the gun at his waist.

Advance, advance, Dombrovski

"Yes, yes, yes!" the manager replied in halting German, glancing around as he slipped a stack of money, seemingly marks, into the hands of the German officer. "I would appreciate your continued support for those children who have lost their parents, the teenagers who are still employable. They are nimble, hardworking, and require little to eat; they are exactly what we need." His expression was very obsequious, resembling that of a heartless boss profiting from war, yet those nearby could see that he genuinely wanted to provide a safe haven for those children.

Ah, sir, do you have an urgent matter to attend to? The manager feigned reluctance to let him go

Children are the hope of Poland, Aunt Santa once said

Do not cry, do not cry, thank heaven and thank earth that you have returned

Unity is our motto

Row after row of rebels were executed, and immediately there were no steps taken to clear the bodies. They swiftly executed all the rebels, and the pile of corpses on the ground seemed to further incite the surrounding Poles, who sang even louder

"Polish is really exhausting," he said. "You don't seem to be very good at Polish either. Do you speak English? Or something else?"

Oh, not bad

It looks very nice. He took the notebook to have a look, nodded with a smile, and then looked up to say, "In the spirit of reciprocity, my name is Augustin von Kalman, Captain in the Army. It is my honor to serve you"

The war drums have sounded

Neither the Germans nor the Russians can be stopped

Oh! Aunt Santa quickly covered her mouth, her eyes red and swollen, continuously sobbing... just like many of the women beside the library.

The leadership of God and the protection of the Almighty

From Italy to Poland

The motherland will still belong to us

Just like Czerniecki to Poznań

In the deep-set eye sockets, the eyes of moderate size possess a sea-blue hue. Even in the night, one can discern the fairness and smoothness of his skin, complemented by a straight nose, thin lips, and a pointed, slightly upturned chin. A few strands of golden hair are faintly visible beneath the hat.

A German officer stepped onto a tank and loudly proclaimed a statement that essentially conveyed the message that opposing Germany would lead to dire consequences, and this serves as proof of that

In the torrent composed of the Polish national anthem, all the ruins of Warsaw appear pale, as tens of thousands of Poles standing there tell the Germans that they have not fallen.

He has lost a significant amount of weight, his complexion is very haggard, and he is clearly quite shaken by the ravages of war

Advance, advance, Dombrovski

Under your leadership

Upon hearing that Sang Aito was safe, Qin Tian felt a slight sense of relief. The two returned to the basement, and after listening to Qin Tian recount the events, they couldn't help but sigh. They were grateful that Qin Tian possessed the quintessential features of an Eastern girl.

The era of servitude has come to an end

The motherland will still belong to us

Aunt Santa, with red eyes, prayed for Kafu

In the center of the square, the German troops stood ready, their tanks still smoking, their gun barrels yet to cool. The expressions of each soldier were cold and sharp. Some looked at the Poles with an eager anticipation, as if hoping for one or two hot-blooded individuals to appear, capable of bringing a different kind of noise to the square

Subsequently, at the sound of a command, the first row of resistors was brought to the square, where they stood in a line facing an equal number of German soldiers holding guns.

She suddenly turned around and saw Catherine huddled under a tree next to the front door, calling for her

At this moment, for these Poles who care for themselves and elevate themselves, apart from tears, Qin Tian has no way to repay them

Qin Tian secretly nodded; despite the infamy that Germany has faced in later years, no one has ever expressed any dissatisfaction with their military uniforms, and indeed, there is a reason for that

The sound emerged too quickly, and many people had not yet reacted when the owner of the passionate male voice was pulled out by a German soldier. It was indeed the university professor, who was dragged to the center and shot dead. At that moment, the nearby resistors also began to sing along.

Listen, our warriors

Groups of Poles appeared one after another, gradually forming a stream of people. They surged in from every street and every building, quietly gathering around the square amidst the sound of the broadcast

After the two officers left, the manager turned around, somewhat dazed, and saw a group of people behind him who also appeared to be in a daze

Qin Tian nodded and said: "Mm."

Hehe, you are busy with your affairs, so I won't invite you in for tea, thank you. Qin Tian still felt a bit scared after this harrowing experience and had to especially thank this gentleman for his inexplicable kindness.

Eisenhower, is this it? The man stroked his chin, gazing at the exterior of the hotel that remained magnificent even after enduring the ravages of war, "Yes, it is a nice place"

The next morning, the German army officially entered the city

Advance, advance, Dombrovski

I feel like I am talking to a Japanese devil, it sounds like, is this how all you Chinese flower girls are?

Japan is an ally of Germany, and it is currently in a fierce struggle with China, while its own brother, Baba, has run back to China from Poland to confront the Japanese. Now, it is suspected that it is also aiding the Polish resistance.

The father excitedly said to his daughter Basia

Women and children, anyone at all, as long as they are Polish civilians, I can hire them

Someone nearby called her: "Tian! Tian!"

Become a true Pole

"Well, I said, can you understand me?" Qin Tian believed that even as an Asian, she could not distinguish between Japanese and Korean, so what kind of feeling could a European have when hearing Chinese

Qin Tian, um, do you know how to write the order of Chinese names?" He handed over the notebook

Yes, I attended university in Germany

The leadership of God and the protection of the Almighty

Warsaw has never fallen

Advance, advance, Dombrovski

In World War II films, the portrayal of German soldiers is often less than honorable, and those wearing the uniform must appear somewhat despicable to satisfy the audience's sense of justice. However, now, when she confronts the impact of this uniform directly, there is still an impulse to scream

Along with that slate gray army uniform

Oh. He appeared very eager to learn, nodding his head, "Your voice is very pleasant. Do all Chinese girls sound like this?"

Upon hearing this, the officer prepared to leave

Raise the battle knife and reclaim lost territory

Advance, advance, Dombrovski

Qin Tian assessed, through her own unfortunate comparison of barely reaching his shoulder, that this guy was at least 1.85 meters tall, yet he did not appear muscular at all. His long legs were a source of embarrassment, embodying the typical nine-head body proportion.

We possess the battle scythe that has endured the Battle of Latzwawice

How to achieve victory

Bang

Casual * picture * book can curse anyone to encounter such a `` wonderful '' coincidence, Qin Tian couldn't help but admire her own talent, and she could only hesitate for a moment and say: `` Almost, it means goodbye, right. '' You are already dead, so of course we won't meet again

The broadcast quickly switched from rapid German to Polish, and then solemnly and repeatedly announced the news that the rebels would be executed at Białystok Square

The three of them have returned. By the time Sang Ai arrived, it was already too late; the Germans had arrested all the professors and organizers. He had no choice but to return, as the journey was perilous, causing him to take longer than expected.

The officer smirked with a hint of malice and turned to say, "If you are interested, you can come with me. A group of rebels will be executed at Biyusotski Square very soon, immediately."

He keenly noticed Qin Tian's change and asked, "Is your brother the one who ran over?"

We, with long swords in hand

You came to find him, yet he abandoned you

Let us jointly announce

This is a typical Germanic handsome man

Qin Tian could only write her name stroke by stroke. Her handwriting was not particularly beautiful, but she was quite familiar with writing her own name.

As long as we still draw breath

We possess the battle scythe that has endured the Battle of Latzwawice

Advance, advance, Dombrovski

"Do you speak Chinese?" The person in front walked through the ruins as if strolling leisurely, clearly very confident in the "cleaning" abilities of his subordinates, even his tone when asking questions was gentle

Qin Tian irritably said in Chinese: "Go to hell"

"No!" Qin Tian felt that this person had a bit of a talent for checking household registrations, and was somewhat dissatisfied. "He has gone back to his homeland to participate in the war!"

We cross the Vistula River

"Shut up! All of you, shut up!" The German officer fired a shot into the air, yet he could not stop the singing from growing louder. Thousands of Poles sang their national anthem in the streets and alleys, around the squares, their eyes brimming with tears, as the gunfire seemed to serve as an accompaniment

We, with long swords in hand

What? The manager's expression changed; he could no longer smile. With a pale face, he said, "Then, then, I won't disturb your business. Please take care."

Neither the Germans nor the Russians can be stopped

First of all, she should not be so aggressive; this person still holds their own life in their hands. Furthermore, she should not state a life-threatening fact in such an aggressive tone

Say a few words for me to listen to

Crossing the Varta River

Suddenly, a voice rang out, beginning with a soaring melody, particularly jarring in the silent square

Aunt Santa, in tears and supported by Catherine, led a group of eight people who left the hotel without even closing the door, slowly making their way towards the square

Let us jointly announce

He tilted his head, a smile gleaming in his eyes: "Are you saying goodbye to me?"

Qin Tian shook her head, refusing to speak

After the first row, once the soldiers have cleared the bodies, the next row will also be brought up

This is a transcript... Qin Tian did not dare to be negligent and slowly said: "Qin Tian... oh no, Tian Qin."

This city, riddled with wounds, has lost all practical significance; for the German army, it serves merely as a symbol of prayer. Soon, their series of policies will turn Warsaw into hell. The German government has forcibly ordered all capable businesses to resume operations as soon as possible. Thus, on this day, the manager returned

There are very few employees, and the German who negotiated with the manager promised that many workers would be brought in soon. Therefore, the manager stated that he would only accept Polish workers

End the Swedish occupation

"We had not yet arrived when we were discovered. Kafu told me to hide, and he drew the Germans away. However, I was still found. But this person did not kill me; instead, he brought me back." Qin Tian spoke in a fragmented manner, suppressing her tears and sobbing.

Unity is our motto

We will be as close as family

The era of servitude has come to an end

"Do you think this place is a shelter? The civilians will live their lives as they see fit, and when the time comes, you will receive them!" The German officer spoke in a commanding tone, "Hurry up and clean up, arrange the best rooms; our superior will be coming to stay, and there will be a banquet in the evening. If everything is not prepared, I need not say what the consequences will be."

Qin Tian squinted her eyes, and she suddenly discovered that in the last row, the middle-aged man who had once claimed to be a university professor was also among them. At that time, he was leading his students in waiting for the German army to come in, ready to deliver the final blow. Unexpectedly, now, in this scene, she saw him again.

Napoleon has already informed us

The enraged German officer shouted for them to stop, but these people sang even louder. Soon, the surrounding Poles also began to join in, holding hands and smiling, singing passionately:

Qin Tian, who was waiting to be shot, was somewhat taken aback. Since the person showed no indication, she naturally would not foolishly ask why they did not kill her. As Eisenhower approached, she felt a growing sense of excitement in her heart

Where is Sang Aito?

Considering that she had not had much opportunity to practice French, Qin Tian hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided to please this person. She said in German: "Perhaps you could switch back to your mother tongue"
