“This is the best time and the worst time.”

——Charles John Halfim Dickens.

In this era, countless unknown people fell down, not even a grave. They cursed this damn war and kept begging God to end this terrible thing as soon as possible.

But there are countless people who are full of fanaticism about this era, and they are eager to prove themselves on the battlefield and fight for glory that cannot be won in peaceful times.

They regard the terrible battlefield as a stage to show themselves, and regard the death that may come anytime and anywhere as the greatest romance.

For example, the "Red Baron" Manfred von Richterhofen.

In his eyes, this is the best time!

He got up from the bed, and the woman next to him was still sleeping soundly. Richterhofen's movements became slightly bigger, awakening the woman.

"What, are you leaving?" the woman opened her blurry eyes.

"I won't stay here." Richterhofen put on his clothes.

"What's your name?" The woman raised her body and revealed her naked half.

"Enst Bleme." Richthofen did not hesitate at all when answering the name: "If you have a chance in the future, you can come to the Supplementary Battalion of the 16th Bavarian Infantry Regiment to find me."

Richterhofen felt that he had taken revenge. Ernst actually wanted to transfer himself to the infantry? Ha, after this girl went to find Ernst and let Elina know, Ernst was distressed...

......

He returned to the air base excitedly. Mark had already come up from afar and shouted: "Manfred, do you know who is back?"

"Who? It's not my business to come back." Richter Hoffen, who was still savoring the passion last night, did not care at all.

"Hey, don't regret it, Gerlongin is back."

"Who?" Richterhoven opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

"Jovi von Gerlongin, have you forgotten him?"

"O God!" Richthofen exclaimed: "He is back? He is not dead?"

He was a good friend who joined the Luftwaffen and was also a nobleman. But he was not very lucky and was shot down by the enemy while performing his first air reconnaissance mission.

Everyone thought he could no longer survive, but what people never expected was that he was still alive!

Gerlongin is really alive! When he saw Richterhoven again, his two good friends hugged each other tightly and let go after a while.

"Hey, Jovi, you are not dead?" Richthofen asked Mark to bring the wine.

"I didn't even think I could survive without death." Gerlongin drank the wine in one sip and said enthusiastically: "But my luck was not good and I became a prisoner. Hell, the bread in the prisoner's camp made me feel sick when I think about it now."

Richterhofen laughed. His good friend was a favorite person to enjoy and it was hard to imagine how he came back in the prison camp.

Gerlongin asked Mark to pour himself a glass of wine: "This time the two sides exchanged prisoners, I was the first to be released. You have to know that I am a pilot and I can't get any useful information from me."

The friend who had always thought he had died had returned safely, which made Richterhoven extremely excited. After drinking a full bottle of wine, Gerlongin kept dancing and talking about the "interesting" things he saw in the prisoner-of-war camp.

"Hey, Manfred, guess who did I see the day before leaving the prison camp?" Gerronin said enthusiastically: "I met a German general!"

"German General?" Richterhofen and Mark looked at each other, and then smiled and said, "You must have drunk too much that day, right?"

"I didn't drink that day, listen to me." Gerlongin said seriously: "The day before release, I wanted to find some wine. You know, our prisoner-of-war camp was very relaxed, especially those of us who were about to be released tomorrow. Who would run away at the risk of being beaten to death? I went to Colonel Kale's office, and before I could go in, I heard Colonel Kale talking to someone. I was eavesdropping outside the door for a while, but my French was not very good, so I could only understand some. It was probably what generals meant. I quietly pushed open the crack in the door and looked at it. Ha, I really saw a German general..."

Richterhoven and Mark were attracted by this story. When they saw that their stories had aroused the interest of others, Gerronin became more and more interested:

"Damn, can you imagine how I was feeling at that time? But when I looked carefully, I found that it was not right. The German general's uniform was obviously not suitable. It was obviously a temporary place to find it. When he took off his uniform, he showed his messy hair. Ah, he was a bullshit German general, obviously a French deserter!"

"French deserter?" Richterhoven was stunned.

"Yes, deserter, named Kevin." Gerronin answered very affirmatively: "He was captured from the battlefield and was temporarily imprisoned with us. Everyone is not bad, and he knows a little German. But it seems a bit crazy to me, and he always likes to talk about alchemy to us. Ha, can you think of a French deserter who looks like when he is wearing a German general's costume?"

"God knows what the French are doing there." Richterhoven muttered.

Gerlongin put down the wine glass that had been empty long ago: "They were talking a lot there, and I didn't understand it very much, but I understood it with the name, and it felt familiar. It was called Kirok, and the name recurred in their conversation. Hey, Manfred, I must have heard the name Kirok there...Manfred, what's wrong with you?"

He suddenly found Richterhoven's eyes were stunned.

"Manfred, Manfred?"

As Gerlongin called out, Richterhofen suddenly grabbed his good friend's arm: "Jovi, are you sure you heard them talk about the name Kirok many times?"

"Yes, I'm pretty sure that although I'm poor in French, I'm sure I can't hear this name wrong."

"No, no!" Richthofen stood up and walked back and forth with an anxious expression. Kirok, Kirok Ernst went for this defector, and he would soon fly over Reims to give Ernst support.

What did the French do to make a deserter dressed in a German general?

Richterhofen suddenly cried out: "Enst is in big trouble!"
