Captain Gale received this telegram, and the content inside made him very disturbed.Captain Gale has a friend who served in Germany before, and he also firmly opposed the German invasion of Austria.This time a German general sent him to a base to do something. He firmly opposed it and planned to escape from Germany, but was killed by mistake when he was captured by the Germans.

How could it be possible to kill him by accident? Since they wanted him to live to serve, how could those chasing him use guns.

Captain Gail knew that this should be a warning to the Austrian soldiers who opposed Germany, telling them that if they did not want to obey and join the German army, the consequences would only be death.

The music downstairs slowly entered the study, and Captain Gale stared at the saber in the study, lost in thought.If he was alone, he would have fought the Germans no matter the cost, but now he had seven children, and his children could not be put in danger.But now, he had to go downstairs to let today's dance end smoothly.

"Gail, where have you been?" Baroness Schrader saw Captain Gail as soon as he stepped downstairs. She walked to the edge of the stairs and asked with an arm around Captain Gail.

"I'm just going to the bathroom." Captain Gail leaned into Baroness Schrader's ear and whispered, but his voice was not low, so the few people standing beside them heard it.

Baroness Schrader smiled, and while following Captain Gail's footsteps towards the door of the ballroom, she whispered: "Your tutor said the children were looking for you, but the children are obviously downstairs, so I'm curious What on earth is that Miss Maria looking for you?"

"It's just a matter of the children sleeping. You know the music downstairs will disturb them." Captain Gale said, looking at Maria who was standing not far away.

"Yeah, that's a real problem, maybe we can get the dance over early."

"This is a dance party held to welcome your arrival, everything is up to your arrangement." Captain Gale said while standing in the center of the dance floor holding Baroness Schrader's hand.

Baroness Schrader knew what Captain Gail meant by wanting her to end the dance early. Although she was unhappy, she was still happy to go to bed early to make Captain Gail happy.

Maria looked at the intimate appearance of Captain Gail and Baroness Schrader with some disappointment. Before going to the monastery, she had contact with ordinary people, and most of those men were sloppy and rude. After going to the monastery, she did not Opportunity to meet the opposite sex.The first time she came to Captain Gale's house, she felt her heart pounding when she saw Captain Gale. It was the first time she saw such a mature and handsome man.

Maria talked back to Captain Gale several times, arguing with him actually meant to attract Captain Gale's attention.Just like the children will get Captain Gale to pay attention to them through pranks, Maria will get Captain Gale to pay attention to her by talking back to Captain Gale.

Although Maria said that she wanted the children to please the Baroness Schrader, she did not welcome the arrival of the Baroness in the same way as the children.Seeing the appearance of Baroness Schrader now, Maria felt a little inferior. She had never been a person with low self-esteem, but she felt inferior in front of the Baroness.

Gertel ran over and pulled Maria's skirt, pointed outside and said, "Lisa and Ferrick are dancing in the yard. They all have partners but I don't. Miss Maria, can you be my partner?"

"Do you want to dance too?" Maria asked, looking down at Gertel.

"Well, Lisa is in a bad mood, and she says dancing distracts her. They both think dancing is a good thing."

"Okay then, Gertel, come with me, let's go dancing outside." Maria stroked Gertel's hair and said.

In the yard, Lisa and Ferik, Louisa and Kurt, Brigitte and Marta are dancing chaotically. The two teams, Lisa and Louisa, are fine because they all know what dance steps they should dance. But Brigitte and Marta were more troublesome. None of them wanted to dance men's steps, so they danced in a mess.

"Papa papa", Maria clapped her hands to let the children pay attention to her, and then said with a smile: "What kind of dance are you dancing, why have I never seen it before?"

"We're learning how to dance like the grown-ups in the ballroom!" said Kurt, dragging Louisa to continue dancing.

"No, that's not how they dance, you're not doing it right." Maria shook her head and said.

"Then you teach us, we want to learn." Ferrick stood up and said, the age for boys to socialize is lower than that of girls, so Ferrick will start to participate in the dance soon, but he hasn't learned yet How to dance, so he was a little anxious, he didn't want to lose face when a lady asked him to dance in the future.

"Okay, come here, I'll teach you." Maria stretched out her hand to Ferrick. Dancing is also an interesting game for Maria, so she learned a lot of dances when she was in high school.

The two danced in the middle of the courtyard to the music. Captain Gail came out and rubbed his forehead angrily. There were so many nobles watching. Tomorrow, everyone will know about their tutors and teachers. The young master danced quietly in the yard, spreading another "good" reputation.

"Miss Maria!" Captain Gale called.

Maria was carefully teaching Ferrick how to spin, and was taken aback by Captain Gale's shout. She stood up quickly, stroked her skirt and said, "I'm just teaching the children to dance."

"I'll hire a special dance teacher for them, and they're not old enough to dance yet." Captain Gale glanced at Ferrick, who immediately stood at attention and ran to their brothers and sisters, and then quickly lined up.

"Captain, let the children play. I promise I won't teach them to dance." Maria said unhappily when she saw Baroness Schrader standing inside and looking at her.

"No, I remember Max said that you have prepared a show tonight. If you can, go to the show now. Today's dance will end early."

"The dance ended early, why? It's the same as the one just now"

"Miss Maria, there are some things you don't need to know." Captain Gale interrupted Maria's displeasure, and then said to the children: "Can you go to the show?"

"Yes father, we can go to the show right now."

After Maria waited for Captain Gale to enter, she discussed with the children, and then she led the children into the ballroom.

Standing in the middle of the ballroom, Maria waited for the children to line up on the stairs, and then said loudly: "Gentlemen and ladies, the children of the Von Trapp family would like to say good night to you." Then she motioned for everyone to follow. She came to the hall.

After the children sang "Good Night, Goodbye", they held hands and went back to their rooms. Captain Gale immediately ordered the band to lower the volume of the performance, and Baroness Schrader jokingly said: "Maybe we have to let The band went back first because I didn't want to disturb the kids' sleep."

Then the band played three more pieces, and then the dance was over three hours after it started.Captain Gale thanked Baroness Schrader, and immediately went back to the study to start writing the content of the telegram to be sent tomorrow.

Captain Gail originally planned to leave Austria, but he has been reluctant to let go of everything here, so he has been hesitating, but now it seems that he has to make a decision immediately.

Captain Gail has many friends, many of whom are no longer in Austria. He remembers a friend who now runs a farm in the United States. Captain Gail knows that Germany’s goal is to compete for hegemony in the European continent. Therefore, going to the United States can help them avoid the pursuit of the Germans.

Early the next morning, Captain Gale was driving, intending to go to the post office to send the telegram to his friend as quickly as possible, but he turned a corner halfway through the drive.The content of the telegram needs to be shown to the radio operator. Captain Gale is worried that if the Germans monitor him, they will know his plan, and his plan will fail.So Captain Gale thought of Yang Yi. The other party worked at the post office, so there must be no problem for him to send the telegram. After all, what Captain Gale wanted to write in the telegram would not arouse suspicion.

Yang Yi has already delivered the letter this morning and came back. He lazily packed his luggage in the cabinet. He bought a ticket to the American ship, but the ship will leave in half a month, which means he still needs Be a postman for half a month.

Captain Gail parked the car some distance away from Yang Yi's house, and then walked along the path to Yang Yi's cabin. He looked at the situation in the house from the window and saw Yang Yi was packing his things before reaching the door. Knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Yang Yi was a little puzzled, knowing that no one would come to him except Tom, and Tom should be going home to sleep at this time.

"Gail von Trapp."

"Captain Gail, what are you doing here?" Yang Yi quickly went to open the door, and asked after Captain Gale entered the room.

"I wasn't going to deliver the letter to your house yesterday, because I was the only postman in the post office at that time, and the chief couldn't go by himself, so he sent me."

"It's not because of this matter." Captain Gale said while sitting on the sofa.

"What's the matter?"

"Last night's telegram, do you know what's in it?" Captain Gale asked while looking at the window.

"Of course I don't know, reading other people's private messages is against the law." Yang Yi shouted immediately.

"Since you have talked to me about the current situation before, do you think Austria is in danger now?" Captain Gale did not ask whether Yang Yi had read the telegram, but asked another question.

"I think you know this better than me. Captain, just tell me what you want me to do. You don't just come here to discuss the situation with me." Yang Yi shrugged and said.

"The German army will soon occupy Austria, and I plan to leave Germany, so I hope you can help me send this telegram, which is very important." Captain Gale took out the note in his pocket and handed it to Yang Yi Said.

"I'm a postman, not a radio operator. I think you should go to the post office, Captain, instead of my house." Yang Yi said as he put the telegram on the coffee table.

"I think I'm probably being watched, so I hope you can help me with this. I don't want others to know the contents of the telegram." Captain Gale said and put the telegram back into Yang Yi's hand.

"Aren't you worried about me watching?" Yang Yi asked, shaking the telegram in his hand.

"You can see, as long as they don't know that I sent the telegram, I can't let the Germans know that I plan to leave Austria."

"Then won't they suspect you when you come here?" Yang Yi felt a little headache when he thought of the spies during World War II. If Captain Gale's family was under surveillance, those people would definitely know about the captain's visit to him. I don't want to be involved in the war when I am about to leave Austria.

"If someone is really watching us, then it is impossible for them not to know about you and Lisa. As a father, it is not very suspicious for me to talk to you. And I have always behaved like staying in Austria and It looks like it is living and dying, the Germans will not know that I have been thinking of leaving." Captain Gale said while knocking on the coffee table with one hand, still looking out the window.

Yang Yi nodded, then opened the note that Captain Gale handed him and looked at it. It said that Captain Gale wanted to go to an old friend in the United States for vacation, and hoped that his friend would reply to him as soon as possible. They can be received.However, the signature on the note was not Captain Gale's name, but Little Sailor.

"Little Sailor? This is such a cute nickname. But I thought you would write about going to the United States for your honeymoon vacation!" Yang Yi said with a smile after reading the note, stuffing it into his pocket.

"It's a code, and you don't need to know the meaning. And I don't plan to get married anymore."

"Why?" Yang Yi looked at Captain Gale strangely and asked.

"I can let go of the property here, but the baroness cannot give up her title and a large amount of property left to her by her ex-husband. And she will not be affected by staying in Austria, because she never participates in politics, Even if Germany occupied Austria, she would still be a baroness."

Captain Gale stood up, obviously planning to leave.Yang Yi turned to his back and asked, "Didn't you think that the baroness would give up everything for you? Aren't you in love?"

Captain Gale looked back at Yang Yi, smiled and patted Yang Yi's shoulder, and said: "Marriage is not necessarily because of love, there may be a little love between us, but it hasn't reached the point where we can give up everything for each other. when."
