414 Crying Farewell

Hamburg has been the free city of the German Union since ancient times. No matter how the states fight, people will not destroy the prosperity of the city. There are not many estuaries on the territory of the German nation. There are only a handful of port cities like Hamburg that have both industry and commerce.

Because Hamburg's geographical location is extremely important, it carries nearly half of Germany's overseas trade volume, and rulers of all generations spared no effort to increase their investment in Hamburg. This famous city has become more and more prosperous after hundreds of years of construction.

On the docks on the banks of the Elbe River, the unloading workers were busy. Small Hanseatic ships poured goods from all over Europe and even the world to this point, and then loaded Prussian famously sophisticated industrial products and started a long voyage.

The ocean-going fishing boat had just stopped on the pier, and the fresh merchants who had been waiting had rushed up to bid, and the noisy sound made people feel a headache.

Merchants, captains, loading and unloading workers, tax collectors... and gentlemen and ladies riding in a carriage, policemen running wildly in the crowd chasing thieves. A picture full of city wind slowly unfolded in front of people, indicating the prosperity of Hamburg to the world.

After the victory, Prussia was full of momentum. Although the lives of ordinary people were more or less affected by the war, Prussia won, and this victory allowed all Prussian people to see hope for the future.

This is how people are. As long as there is hope in their hearts, even if they just chew dry bread today, they can feel extremely happy.

The people inspired by victory released strong consumption power. During this period, the turnover of the hamburger market almost doubled. The simplest example is the turnover of alcohol. During this period, even the poorest families would buy some alcohol to celebrate the victory of the empire.

There were jubilant crowds everywhere, and there was a thriving business atmosphere everywhere. The whole hamburger seemed to be trapped in a big oven, and everyone's hearts were filled with heat. At this moment, a neat footsteps suddenly sounded on the streets in the eastern suburbs of the south bank.

Soon, from the direction where the footsteps sounded, it was like a gust of cold wind blew, and the entire city streets quickly quieted from east to west, and the strange atmosphere quickly swept across the city.

The bargaining merchants were clamoring to find that the aura around them had changed. When they felt the strange silence coming from the east, they quickly closed their mouths.

After a brief dullness, there was a neat noise, as if the crowd was mobilized by God's baton. The crowd in the east suddenly called a word like waves, and the strange atmosphere instantly turned into warmth.

The merchants and loaders on the side of the trestle left their jobs and squeezed into the street desperately and kept shouting, "What's wrong? For God's sake, tell us what's wrong? What's going on in the east?"

No one was willing to answer his question, and everyone looked at the East like a demon. After another half an hour, a dazzling blue flashed at the corner of the curved street. There were hundreds of men in blue military uniforms.

"Chinese...medium...medium..."

Only then did everyone hear clearly what the word rolling like a wave was. It turned out that the entire Hamburger people were shouting "Chinese... Chinese..."

Yes, the one walking on the street is Xiao Letian's Oriental Legion, the Oriental Officer's Recruitment that led Hamburg recruits to create the Stone Bridge Miracle. Only 120 people survived the 300 Expeditionary Force.

Today is the day when the Eastern Expeditionary Force left Prussia. Xiao Letian and his team kept their confidentiality work quite well. Except for the Prussian top leaders, there was no news from the people.

Countless hamburgers were crowded on the streets, and even the roofs were filled with citizens. Unbelievable eyes were on these solemn middle-aged people, and many elderly and women were covered with tears.

How could they not cry? How could they not be moved? In the end, 120 people survived, and more than ten of them were pushed out in wheelchairs. What were they for? It was not for the battle for the fate of the Prussian nation!

Think about the figures of these Eastern Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Ho

"Look! What is the jar they hold in their arms? My God, it won't be the ones who died in battle..." No one could say anything later, because everyone had guessed the answer, and the ashes of these surviving soldiers were all holding the ashes of their comrades.

The people on both sides of the road suddenly started to wave, and it was everyone taking off their hats to pay tribute. They seemed to see angels flying in the air, and the heroic spirits of the dead were staring.

"Woooooooooooooooooo... God bless these children..." The countless women and children in the crowd were already crying and their faces were covered with tears. They held their hands and whispered in a low voice. There were even chants praising God in the crowd.

"God, I said why did they settle the final payments of all the meat merchants, fish merchants and grocers yesterday? It turns out that today is their day to go home... Oh damn, if I had known that they would be home today, why would I have the nerve to ask for the final payments..."

"Yes, I provide all the fresh meat used by these middle-aged officials. I also said that when they return home, they will give them a top-notch beef feast... But why did they say goodbye without saying goodbye?"

"There has been news from Berlin. Next month will be the Berlin military parade to celebrate victory. How can this celebration be without these Chinese people? How can Xiao Letian be missing..."

Gradually, the crowd suddenly became excited. The Prussian nation was quite grateful. How could they allow their benefactors to leave silently?

"Don't leave... Please participate in the victory parade and leave... This is the glory you should enjoy!"

"Stay... don't leave...please stay..."

Amid the shouts of countless people, the crowd suddenly became restless, and the spacious alley that was originally reserved suddenly became narrower, and the surrounding citizens rushed up to try to block the Chinese people's way back home.

Countless arms stretched out and touched the soldiers. They wanted to keep them, but no one dared to exert force. When they approached these soldiers in person, they found that all the soldiers' exposed skin were wounds.

It was the mark left after the bloody battles, it was the most dazzling medal for soldiers. The crowd could no longer suppress their emotions, and the crying spread throughout the crowd like the most fierce virus.

"Don't leave... This is unfair to you... You have not received the glory that the winner deserves, you cannot leave..."

"Stay here and participate in our Victory Parade and let the whole of Europe witness your military power again!"

"Wuwuwu... Uncle stays here... Let me go, I am Mary, we are children in the orphanage..." In the chaos, several nuns with white turbans escorted dozens of children and squeezed in. The head was the little girl Mary rescued by Xiao Hexin.

"Mary!" Xiao Hexin, who was in the front of the team, saw this angel-like little girl at a glance. At this time, he had forgotten what military discipline was and roared and opened his arms.

The bravest little Mary in the fire scene, Mary, who did not cry in the face of flames or threats, saw Xiao Hexin's appearance today, and suddenly burst into tears and rushed over like a flying man.

"Uncle, what's wrong with your legs? Why are you in a wheelchair? Don't scare me..."

Xiao Hexin's tears rolled down. He hugged Mary and whispered, "No, I will stand up again. Don't cry anymore. If you cry, you won't be beautiful..."

During the Battle of Stone Bridge, Xiao Hexin was shot in the knee. Although he had undergone surgery by a famous Prussian doctor, he still cannot walk. The Prussian doctor once regretfully asserted that it was God's blessing that Xiao Hexin could recover from his crutches in the future.

Mary's crying infected all the citizens around her. At that moment, the crying sounded shockingly. Everyone felt like a mess of grass was blocked in their hearts.

"Don't leave... Stay... Stay..." The sound of staggering crying was full of the sound of retention. The chaos on Nan'an Street quickly alarmed the whole city. In the end, even all the ships on the Elbe River exploded.

The steamboat sounded the whistle, the sailboat sounded the horn, and the deck was full of sailors waving their arms to keep them. Look at the north bank of the Elbe River, now it is crowded with citizens. They have learned the latest news, and everyone, regardless of whether Xiao Letian and the others can hear it, shouting one by one.

The whole city was already in full swing. The Hamburg City Council did not expect that things would be so big. An emergency order was issued, and all the police and recruits rushed to the streets to maintain order.

Xiao Letian in the team was crying now. While crying, he explained to the crowd, "Dear Prussian brothers, we can't leave... The French fleet has already reached my hometown, I want to rush back to save people... There are still 500,000 people waiting for me in the Ryukyu Kingdom!"

The officers who were squeezed and fell from place to place, each of them burst into tears, holding their comrades' ashes and cried, "Thank you! Thank you... We are going back to fight, who has no family and country? Who has no brothers, sisters and fellow villagers? We can't watch them kill the French!"

"Please let us go...Please let us go back to China...We really can't stay...Woo woo woo woo!"

The 120 old men cried like children at this moment.

At this moment, a group of Prussian soldiers suddenly rushed in from the crowd. The three-person group of the Hamburg recruits, Steven, Daniel and Grant. Behind them were all the Prussian soldiers who survived the special camp.

Daniel's nose bubbles were bursting out now, and he pulled out his hoarse voice and shouted, "Everyone has... all the new army stood at attention... salute! Say to our superiors... open the way for them!"

In a bloody battle between the Stone Bridge, the Hamburg recruits and these middle-aged officials have become one, and the comrades who live and die together have been established. Today's separation is really even more uncomfortable than killing them.

The farewell team slowly squirmed in the sound of crying, and at that moment the whole Hamburg turned into a crying city.
