Chapter 3: The War of the Charlatans

I seem to hear someone shouting loudly! The "Air Fortress" walks steadily with a metal tray in hand, its voice still gentle, yet those syringes, especially the glimmering needle tips, instill fear in the faces of the brave warriors who are unafraid of the enemy's gunfire

Upon careful consideration, a deep astonishment appeared on the student's face. He remained silent for a while and said, "If you could prove this with something!"

Logan left the student's single room in disappointment. Perhaps the big dumpling was right; no matter how talented a person is, they cannot change the decisions of those in power—no matter how obvious the reasoning is, a single statement that upholds the authority of the BOSS is enough to obliterate everything

After a long day of academic discussions, Logan lay down and stole glances at the female nurse who was changing the dressings of the injured man in bed 3. He couldn't understand how, being an injured soldier himself, that guy had the fortune of encountering a nurse with such a slender figure and stunning looks, perhaps even developing a romantic affair amidst the chaos! Just then, he suddenly heard two officers sitting nearby mention "Dunkirk".

"Proof? In a few days, the facts will prove everything, but it will be too late for the books!" Logan said urgently. If Germany loses the war according to the original historical trajectory, whether he falls into the hands of the Allies or is captured by the Soviet army, he will not have a good life!

Ah... Amelie, I am sorry, I did not know it was you! I thought it was Ronchi and the others playing a prank on me!" Logan explained in a panic

Indeed, they are now in a predicament from which they cannot escape! The unfortunate fellow, plastered up, was just getting excited when he suddenly spotted the figure of "Amelie" appearing in the corridor, causing his head to droop immediately as if it had been that of a castrated rooster.

The moment the needle pierced the muscle of my buttock, fragments of the past suddenly flashed through my mind like slides. Farewell, beautiful girls in ultra-short skirts! Farewell, Heroes of Might and Magic and Warcraft! Farewell, mobile phones and iPods! ... Farewell, the peaceful, harmonious, and joyful life ...

Student's hands on the pillow, "If that is truly the case, one can only lament their misfortune"

Anyone with a basic understanding of World War II history would not overlook Dunkirk as a turning point in the war. Logan suddenly recalled that the Dunkirk evacuation took place at the end of May and the beginning of June in 1940. Isn't that now?

Returning to his own bed, as soon as Logan lay down, he suddenly felt someone tugging at his pants. Without thinking, he delivered a swift kick, only to find himself colliding with a soft "wall." Turning around, he saw "Fortress in the Sky" looking at him with a mournful expression, a shoe print clearly visible on its chest.

Lieutenant, I understand your concerns, but relying solely on our conjectures will not persuade the Führer to change his mind. Moreover, allowing the army to resume offensive operations would be tantamount to delivering a resounding slap to the Air Force Marshal, which they can never accept

This nurse, with an extraordinary capacity, generously brushed off the dust and took out an enormous syringe from the tray, saying, "Alright, just take off your pants yourself!"

How should I put it? It is indeed regrettable to see the Anglo-French coalition surrender a few days later, but it does not matter. We have surrounded them from three sides, with the turbulent English Channel at their back. These disheveled fellows have no other choice! Next, we will certainly be able to easily sweep through the remaining areas of France. Those Frenchmen, who are already scared out of their wits, will surely tremble at the sight of us!" The air force second lieutenant, with a bandage wrapped around his neck, pilots the Stuka, which strikes fear into the hearts of the coalition soldiers. However, this dive bomber, which does not fly very fast, is easily intercepted by enemy fighters, and he is shot down by the British "Hurricane."

Are we just going to watch the Allied forces slip away from Dunkirk?" Logan felt a sense of unwillingness

The pain arises not only from having to face a formidable nurse weighing no less than 100 kilograms every day, but also from the necessity of receiving injections and taking medication on time. If it were not for the coercion of this "beauty-loving" individual, Logan would never comply in such a manner—he has never been one to follow the rules throughout his life

Logan was instantly moved to tears

Ah, it's actually about the same! The Supreme Command issued an order today to the frontline units near Dunkirk to "cease advance," reportedly to prevent unnecessary losses to our armored units in the canal area. This lieutenant, with a cast on his leg, is an Air Force fighter pilot. In the first week after the outbreak of the Western Front conflict, he shot down 7 British and French bombers. On May 19, he encountered two "Hurricanes" in northern France and was unfortunately defeated, suffering a fracture while parachuting.

This is almost a verbatim quote from the narrator in a television documentary. Although Logan is an outsider in military matters, he is fortunate to have an excellent memory, and his proficiency in German and English is indeed a valuable asset

Happiness arises from the good meals here, including pickled cabbage with salted pork knuckles, sausages, ham, smoked meat, and creamy mushroom soup, each dish bursting with flavor. After a satisfying meal, basking in the sun while chatting with the young misfortunes, this simple and pleasant life is something I haven't experienced in many years!

On the other side, Logan unceremoniously stirred the "big rice dumpling" that had just been laid down

The weather, British fighter planes, soft beaches, and hundreds, even thousands, of barges, ferries, and fishing boats—Marshal Göring's bombers were utterly unable to prevent the Allied retreat! Just think, countless British and French soldiers will slip away from there! Slip back to Britain! It won't be long before these men take up arms again to fight against us!

With the popularity he has accumulated over the past few days, Logan is now enjoying the special ability of "unblocked intelligence gathering" among his peers at m.hetushu.com. He approached and asked, "Excuse me, I just heard you mention Dunkirk... have we already captured that port?"

Of course, every afternoon during tea time, Logan must accompany the poor big dumpling. Ever since their previous conversation, this air force major general, who leads the German paratroopers, seems to ponder profound strategic issues every day. Moreover, after finishing tea, he insists on chatting with Logan for quite a while, almost squeezing out every bit of this military outsider's limited understanding of paratroopers.

In this field hospital near the border of Germany and France, Logan spent a few days experiencing a mix of pain and joy

I just remembered that there is something very important I haven't told General Student! It is of utmost importance, and I must go immediately!" Logan, unusually serious, activated the "Accelerated Attack" ability for himself and vanished like a flash at the end of the corridor

Logan wore a face full of resentment, prompting the unfortunate souls nearby to once again cast him looks of profound sympathy

"You two..." With a bend of her elbow, a large mound of flesh could be seen. The tough female nurse, smiling, took a syringe from the tray and asked the two unfortunate souls with blank expressions: "Who wants to get the injection first?"
