With the golden sunset and the dense bunch of slipways at the headquarters of the Brom-Fox shipyard in Hamburg, there is no doubt that the scene is a world away from that of the Great Depression five years ago. The crane boom is like a branch, and they are busy transporting goods at the moment, and almost every slipway is shining with electric arcs, gold and iron roaring, and a large number of workers are busy. If Fang Yan was present, then he would be able to tell the type of warships being built on these slipways.

When the sunset is about to sink below the horizon, the bell that marks the end of work finally rings in unison in each factory. Walker, a gas cutting worker in the third boiler production workshop, closed the acetylene delivery valve, and walked briskly with many workers to the branch finance department with excitement: today is January 30, and his hard work in the previous month will soon be rewarded. Thinking that his gentle and kind wife and four lovely children at home would soon be able to enjoy a nutritious dinner with his own salary, Walker's slightly yellowed rough face suddenly showed a happy and contented smile.

The financial office of the branch is a bungalow adjacent to the workshop, and there is a long queue in front of the window for paying wages at this time; A black sedan was parked at the main entrance of the building, guarded by four large men, and Walker was able to witness several bulging suitcases being sent inside the gate. Two minutes later, several windows with iron bars immediately opened, and the excited Walker couldn't help but speed up his pace, and quickly lined up in the queue.

Although there were hundreds of paid workers in one branch, the shipyard's financial work was quite efficient: after only a dozen minutes, Walker, who was at the back of the line, was at the front. A cashier quickly retrieved Walker's name from the list of gas cutting crews, and thrust several mark's bills and two stacks of finney coins, along with a pay slip, in front of Walker's stats.

In a matter of moments, Walker was delighted to find that the total amount of his salary was exactly the same as his own calculations: his total salary for the month was 95 marks and 46 puffines, and after paying the membership dues of the Labor Front, personal income tax, sickness, disability, unemployment, and many other insurances, as well as winter contributions, there were 71 marks and 59 puffins left at his disposal (1 mark = 100 puffines).

"Oh my God. Walker, how much work have you accomplished this month? Seeing that Walker was holding more than 70 marks in his hand, Doug, a machine tool worker who had just received his salary from another window, couldn't help but widen his eyes. Under the current rule of the National Socialist Party, the entire German business has banned the policy of raising hourly wages: if workers want to increase their income, they can only do so by producing more. In most cases, a worker's monthly salary is generally between 65~80 marks, of which deductions such as tax contributions account for 15% to 35%. Xiang Walker's net surplus can still reach this value, which is already at the level of the boss level!

Walker took the coin in his arms and smiled at his friend, "Hannah and Lisa, the two little ones, will soon be going to school, and I want to prepare some more for them in the first half of this year." As for the workload. This month, I completed a total of 239 man-hours, which is the income I wanted. ”

In Doug's shocked expression, Walker, who was full of wealth, turned into a food supermarket not far away for employees with a bright smile on his face. Although there are a lot of items on the shelves, most of them are low-end foods such as couscous, fish, margarine, etc., and even canned beef is only a few dozen boxes. In fact, this is exactly what the German population sees in the food market today.

Since Germany is not self-sufficient in food, it needs to spend a lot of foreign exchange to import agricultural products from abroad every year; This kind of spending all the money on satisfying the appetite was clearly not a situation that the National Socialist Party, which was determined to make Germany a military power again, was willing to see. In order to save as much foreign exchange as possible, so as to free up more funds to meet the army's increasingly large steel stomach. As soon as Hitler came to power, he launched a powerful propaganda campaign among the people. He called on the people to make sacrifices for the restoration of the country's honor: margarine instead of fine butter, fish instead of beef, and semolina instead of white bread. And Dr. Goebbels also took advantage of the situation. Vigorously advocate nationalism, a topic that can arouse the blood of the masses who do not know the truth.

Under the propaganda of the National Socialist Party, the German people, who had suffered heavy oppression from the Treaty of Versailles, almost gladly accepted this mainstream idea of "public before private". High-end ingredients such as scallops and black truffles have been available only at large hotels since 1934. Moreover, the consumption of these things would be seen as a sign of corruption and degeneration of the "loss of the German spirit". Especially in the Ruhr, Saarland, and Rhineland, which were once occupied by the French and ruled by oppressive and brutal rule, the people did not hesitate to call for the National Socialist Party!

It's not too late. Walker walked out of the supermarket with two bags full of food. A tinkling streetcar passed the platform in front of the shipyard and carried groups of workers, including Walker, to their homes in various parts of the city as the lights came on. The staircase climbs with twists and turns, and the porch lights shine brightly. When Walker pushed the door and walked into his ordinary three-bedroom apartment, the four children who had come by prestige threw themselves into his arms laughing, ignoring the dust stains on Walker's overalls.

"Honey, I bought eggs and fresh fish today, you go cook a pot of soup to supplement the children's nutrition." After a kiss on each of the little ones' pink cheeks, Walker handed the bag to his wife, Vera, who had come out of the kitchen, and said with a smile. Seeing the look of burnout on her husband's face, Vera, who had an ordinary appearance, asked him about his work with concern and told him not to take the initiative to apply for too many overtime hours; However, Walker, who has only ended his unemployment process in the middle of last year and officially has a stable income, cherishes his current iron job very much, and he has already made up his mind to do his best to make up for the difficulties suffered by his children in the past.

The charcoal fire jumps, and the aroma is permeated; Half an hour later, the fish broth and the golden egg rolls were served one after another. The children's eyes shone with a pure luster of longing and excitement, which also made Walker, who had been tired for a whole month, feel warmth and happiness from his heart. In a few moments, Vera, the housewife in her apron, turned on the radio next to the dining table, and for a moment the whole room was filled with the proud voices of the Berlin radio hosts as they broadcast the miracles that Germany had created on the road to reconstruction.

"We owe all this to the great Führer." Looking at the sumptuous food on the table, Walker whispered with a light sigh full of emotion and reverence. His wife, Vera, and her two older children also looked solemn and respectful, and their gratitude and recognition to Hitler were hard to describe in words.

Five years ago, Walker, a father of four children and the breadwinner of the family, was undoubtedly one of the 6 million unemployed in China; In order to keep his family afloat, he had to go to the docks every day in search of the rare opportunity to hire him as a cargo handler in the vast sea of job seekers. His wife, Vera, waits at the market all day, fighting with a large group of housewives from a similar family to her for rotten and wilted vegetable leaves and sprouted and moldy potato kernels. At that time, not to mention eggs and fish, even the most inferior coarse food could not meet the normal consumption needs of their family. The taste of suffering that was both cramping and hungry was the most unbearable memory for Walker and his family.

However, since last summer, this has finally changed. With the signing of the "Anglo-German Naval Agreement", the Brom-Fox shipyard received a huge order for more than 100,000 tons of warships for two consecutive years. His wife, Vera, also got a job as a household cleaner in a booming economy, earning 25 pfennigs for every apartment she cleaned. The problem of food and clothing that has plagued Walker's family for many years has finally been solved, and the growth and development of several children will no longer have a lack of basic materials. That's why the Walkers are grateful to Hitler, who created jobs and brought the market back to prosperity!

Although the trade unions have now been outlawed and the workers' right to strike and to demonstrate no longer exists, what are these losses compared to the regaining of the right to freedom from hunger? Moreover, under the propaganda of the National Socialist Party, the strike of the working class in 1918 instigated by Jewish saboteurs was the main culprit that directly led to the collapse of the empire, the undefeated defeat of the army while the front was still on the territory of the enemy, and finally caused the entire nation to suffer a series of humiliating humiliations, such as land cession, reparations, disarmament, and arms restrictions. There is no doubt about the choice of the German workers, who had lived humiliated under the oppression of the Treaty of Versailles for more than ten years, today!

Soon, many of the foods on the table were swept away. After putting away the dishes, Vera returned to the living room and sat with her family on the radio to listen to the news from Berlin Central. The depression cold snap suffered by democracies is undoubtedly exaggerated, and it seems that only Germany in the whole world, under Hitler's wise leadership, emerged from the trauma of unemployment and austerity and became a shining beacon to light the world. People in Britain and France are struggling on the death line, and the Soviet Union has been portrayed as a bloody hell by the mouthpiece of the National Socialist Party because of its continuous purge.
