Chapter 1355 Polar Outpost?(2/3)
"Don't even think about touching that red wine!"
This time, except for Wei Ran, who had just taken off his jumpsuit, the others rejected this man's proposal with a particularly unanimous attitude.
"Don't touch the red wine. Other than that, do whatever you want."
After Fabian finished speaking, he picked up the kettle on the stove and poured himself a cup of hot water. He also reminded him, "Anyway, the last batch of supplies will arrive in two hours. Dr. Cross, that thing
Have you come up with any results?"
"Unfortunately, not really."
Dr. Cross, who had just quarreled with him, shook his head, sat down on his bed, and while stroking a locked wooden box on the bedside, he said regretfully, "The best way at the moment is to give it away.
Go back and organize more manpower to study it."
"And you?"
Carsten, who was drawing a map at the door, asked without looking back, "Dr. Cross, do you want to follow me back?"
"I have not decided yet"
Dr. Cross shook his head, "I want to go back and study that thing, but I also want to stay and see if I can find more similar items. This next long winter may be the last chance for me.
.”

Major Fabian said here and greeted, "Victor, do you still have film in your camera? Take a group photo of us before Dr. Cross makes a decision. Maybe we will never see each other again this winter.
It’s Dr. Cross who likes penguins.”
"wait a minutes"
Wei Ran, who had already taken off his jumpsuit, climbed up the ladder to his upper bunk before he finished speaking.
There are not many things on this bed, just a sleeping bag, a pillow, a 45-pound mountaineering bag and a suitcase that are standard for mountain hunters.
I opened my mountaineering bag and took a look. It was full of mountaineering supplies such as mountaineering picks, piton hammers, crampons, ropes, and some changes of clothes.
I opened the suitcase again and took a look. In addition to a few bottles of wine and a dozen packs of cigarettes, the rest of the space contained a set of simple film development equipment and a dozen film sealing boxes.
Under the cover of this box, Wei Ran took out Robert's camera bag from the metal book, then took out the camera and replaced it with a standard lens, and then loaded it with a brand new film.
By the time he came down with the camera, the other five people had already taken their positions by the stove.
"Look at me"
Wei Ran, who was standing at the door, greeted them familiarly and then pressed the shutter towards the five people.
After taking the group photo proposed by Fabian, everyone wisely changed the topic.
It was through their chatting that Wei Ran, who was helping Hannuo pluck the penguin's feathers, also learned a lot from a few words.
First of all, it is the end of March 1941.
Secondly, this wooden house, which is only thirty to forty square meters in size, is located on the ice sheet about 10 kilometers inland from the Schirmacher Oasis. It is not a Norwegian whaling station occupied by the Germans, but it has frequent radio contact with the whaling station.
.
The last information obtained was the identity of the people in the wooden house.
Major Fabian Schubert, the body that was later discovered by Matthew's parents, was the captain of this duty team of only six people including the guards, and he was also a fanatical Nazi.
You can guess it clearly from his enthusiasm for the mustache in his words, especially when he boasted proudly that he had participated in the Night of Long Knives and Kristallnacht operations.
Dr. Franz Cross, who had a quarrel with him over penguins, was a mineralogist with half Norwegian ancestry. Compared to Major Schubert, his personality was much gentler, and it was obvious that he liked small animals very much.
He likes both penguins and sled dogs outside.
Next is Carsten Kinski, who has been busy drawing. He is a geologist and the person with whom Major Schubert can chat best, but the topic they talk most about is
It's not the bluff of Mustache, but some professional topics in the field of drawing.
As for Jorg Schmeling, who has protruding cheekbones, he is a doctor who stays here. In addition to his job of ensuring everyone's health, he is also responsible for taking care of sled dogs together with Wei Ran, and is also a photographer.
As well as chess and penguin meat lovers.
Although he and Dr. Cross have big differences on the issue of penguins, it seems that the two of them often discuss chess. Not surprisingly, the topics between the two of them basically revolve around chess.
The last short man who always smiles, his full name is Hanno Alovs, he is the radio operator here, and also serves as the maintenance engineer of this cabin, ranging from radio kerosene lamps to bed boards
, the generator, the sled and the cabin itself, no matter which one breaks down, he will be responsible for repairing it - in addition to being a photographer, Wei Ran is also Hanno's maintenance assistant.
After figuring out the identities of everyone, Wei Ran and Han Nuo also stripped the four huge penguins of their goose down, and threw the internal organs and the skin with some remaining down into the pot to cook and prepare for feeding to the outside.
Sled dogs.
What he also figured out was the meaning of the existence of this wooden house. It seemed to be a rescue station or an outpost, but who was used to rescue or warn against, the people in the wooden house not only did not continue to delve into this topic, but seemed to
There are also some taboos.
Soon, Dr. Jörg threw the penguin legs and wings and goose breast into the pot in the manner of German stew. Not only that, he also boiled out the fat and poured it into a pot.
In a tin can.
According to the doctor, these oils, which don't taste good, are natural chilblain creams - even though he already has a box full of them under his bed.
While the doctor was busy cooking delicious food, the short radio operator named Hanno also stuffed the goose down he had just collected into a huge canvas bag.
At this point, Wei Ran has finally figured out that the people in this wooden house are too boring. Whether they are hunting penguins, eating penguins, condemning penguins for eating, or even reusing drawings and penguin scraps, etc., they are all just for fun.
It’s time to find something for yourself to relieve boredom.
When he and Hanno collected all the flying goose down together, the radio set on the table also came from the ticking code sound.
Almost as soon as the code rang, Hanno quickly sat down at the table and started copying. At the same time, Major Schubert quickly pulled out a locked wooden box from under his bed and took out the key.
He opened the lock and took out an Enigma cipher machine from inside!
"Victor, Yog, let's help you feed the dog."
Dr. Cross and geologist Mr. Carsten said in unison, and at the same time they stood up, one picked up the meatless penguin skeletons, and the other picked up the large pot of penguin scraps broth.
"Let's go"
Dr. Yog also stood up on his own initiative, greeted Wei Ran and left the wooden house together.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Obviously, feeding dogs does not require so many people, they are all actively avoiding suspicion.
Following the three people who left the wooden house, Yog opened the wooden door of the kennel house, and the sled dogs with shiny hair also ran out impatiently, and automatically divided into several groups, according to their own rules, enjoying what was thrown to them
penguin skeleton.
At the same time, Yog also took out a can of penguin grease that had been boiled not long ago. He scooped out almost half of it with a spoon and threw it into the hot soup bucket. After stirring it, after it melted, he called to General Wei Ran.
It was poured into a cut oil drum.
Soon, a few dogs with higher status gathered around, sipping the broth that had become cold for a while, and eating the cooked internal organs in it.
"Dr. Cross, do you plan to stay or go back?" Carsten asked in a low voice.
"What are your plans?"
Dr. Cross also lowered his voice and asked, "You have been here all summer. The following polar night is not suitable for terrain mapping at all. There is no need for you to stay."
"I want to stay"
Mr. Carsten shuddered and suppressed his excitement and whispered, "Of course I want to stay. I am more curious than you about what I discovered last time."
“I plan to stay too”
Cross whispered, "But I don't want Major Schubert to continue to lead us. He is too narrow-minded and full of distrust towards us."
"The only one he trusted was Hanno"
Cross muttered in a low voice, and then saw Hanno walking out of the wooden house, "Look, he doesn't even completely trust his own soldiers."
"It seems we are the only two with no choice."
Dr. Yog, standing next to Wei Ran, said to himself, "Victor, are you homesick?"
"It's okay, what about you?" Wei Ran pushed back the question.
“Of course I miss home”
Yog said distressedly, "I didn't expect to work here for so long. Although I don't have any family anymore, I still miss the warmth of Mainz. Compared with here, Mainz is indeed a warm and nice place."
"
Before Wei Ran could say anything, the door of the wooden house was opened by Major Schubert from the inside, "Come in quickly, the supply team has set off, and I have to assign tasks next. Hanno, turn off the generator, pick up the
You won’t need it when you come down.”
Upon hearing the greeting, Hannuo immediately greeted Wei Ran and walked to the side of the generator. After turning it off, he carried it into the cabin with Wei Ran's help. After such a short delay, the cipher machine had been taken away.
Woke up.
"Dr. Cross, and Mr. Carsten."
Major Schubert said before everyone could sit down, "This is your final chance to decide whether to stay."
"I want to stay"
Dr. Cross was the first to give the answer, "I have decided that I want to stay, Major Schubert. You know why I stay."
