L'Empereur du Monde: La Revolution - An Alternative History Story

Berlin, 7 pm, 22 may, 1936

The room they entered at least looked a bit more modern but you could still see it was old and abandoned. In the middle of the room under the only lamp was a big table with two men at it. One was Hans and the other one Victor didn't knew. “Guys! I brought a new friend!” Lena screamed as soon as she walked in. The guys around the table turned slowly around when they heard the noise. Hans turned around again when he saw who it was but the other guy at the table kept looking at Victor for a while. Victor first wanted to say something to him, a friendly way to introduce himself. Until he suddenly got an arm around his neck. “What did you bring Lena? A baguette seller?” The man said while laughing. Well it was hard to say if it was a man or a boy. He was young, around 19, He had long blonde hair that came down to his shoulders, it was difficult to even see his eyes because of it and a short posture. “Nah I was just kidding. I’m Paul, nice to meet you.” Victor shook the boys hand still a bit surprised. At last the guy at the table walked to Victor and shook his hand. “Jonas, let’s see what you got frenchie.” Victor found it a bit of a harsh introduction but still greeted himself.
Jonas walked to the door and put on his coat. "Well work calls tomorrow, so I gotta go." And without the rest saying a word he opened the door and walked out. "Victor come sit, you two too." Hans said. There was a whole bunch of stuff on the table: notebooks, maps, drinks. Hans threw everything to the side and started to speak: "Alright, now we got enough people to at least do something. But I know that at least Paul needs to finish his study until next year and the rest of us also probably needs to attend to things. So for now the plan is: I'll be going to France and spread propaganda there. I might need your help Lena with the work and the field and I would need your contacts Victor. But that’s basically it for now, Anyone got any questions?" The room was quite, nobody had any questions and they kind of knew what to do without having to ask a thing. Hans spoke again: “That’s what I thought, well as everything is settled I have nothing else to announce. Our next meeting will take long, next year actually, the exact location and date will be announced later. So don’t try to die and I’ll see you then.”
