Chapter 840: Worse than rotten
For nutrition, Yang Mingzhi is just a little better at knowing, the most common bisporus mushroom in the forest, it is highly yielding, so that after a heavy rain, a lot is growing around the tree, but the energy contained is not high. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
It is normal for a soldier to consume 4,000 kcal a day, and even if these German prisoners of war become miners, they only need a lot more calories per day. The energy provided by 300 grams of black bread was very limited, and it seemed that they could only fill their stomachs with a large number of mushrooms, and the daily energy consumption was greater than the intake, and the bodies of the prisoners of war naturally became weaker and weaker, and it was more difficult to resist the corrosion of toxic substances.
If it continues, more than 200 prisoners of war will eventually die of weakness! It can't go on like this!
Henschel went on to recount what had happened to him for more than a month, highlighting his previous days as a "farmer."
"We cultivated the land to grow potatoes, and we didn't have to work very tiring every day, and we were able to eat enough potatoes every day without worrying about sulfur corrosion.
I know exactly what you want to do! But as we get weaker, how can we mine more sulphur? You are obviously short of men, and a large number of the so-called tens of thousands of soldiers must be women! I know you're very confident in these female soldiers, but you should know that the best soldiers are men! The best worker must be that man! β
Henschel's words themselves have a groove, and Yang Mingzhi doesn't want to refute anything. What he said is not unreasonable, if Novgomel has enough troops, why should women go to war? The situation now is that overseers composed of female soldiers and middle-aged and elderly men supervise the work of these prisoners of war. It is not surprising that Henschel deduced from this detail the condition of the entire 284th Division.
Henschel continued: "Probably only you, a high-ranking officer, are reasonable! If I had thought about it from your own perspective, I would definitely not have let the vast number of prisoners of war suffer any longer. This is not only out of humanitarian sympathy, but also out of economic interests.
You are obviously very short of strong labor, and our more than 200 prisoners of war are the best labor force! As long as everyone is fed enough every day, and that they breathe clean air, no one dies from injuries or diseases, and you can continue to get a lot of sulphur and lime! Isn't that a good thing? β
Yang Mingzhi's eyes lit up, he didn't expect to think of these thoughts with this guy. The Germans were not stupid in the first place, and this Henschel, although he was in a difficult situation, actually bargained with himself.
"It's true that he is smart when he does this, and he is afraid that he will be shut up when he talks to other officers, but for me, he thinks that I am also a smart person." Yang Mingzhi muttered in his heart, and his opinion of Henschel went to a higher level.
However, the army did not have enough food for the prisoners of war, one of the reasons was that it was the "spring famine" before the potato harvest, and the other reason was very bad.
Starting from the actions of the mine garrison, Yerentina used her power and privately persuaded the division commander Yevlov, especially to put pressure on Joshua and others, that is, to deliberately harshly treat the prisoners of war.
Casually scolding the POWs was too low-level, and the woman came up with a really powerful method, that is, she ordered a deliberate reduction in the amount of food and drink for the POWs.
Doesn't that woman know that workers with heavy physical labor need extremely high energy every day? Of course she knows it all too well!
Yang Mingzhi can only estimate that the woman is returning to her body in the way of others.
Therefore, Henschel's demand for higher treatment is not only not exaggerated, but it must be done, otherwise these more than 200 people will die one after another! With 200 slaves lost at once, this is a huge loss of labor!
β¦β¦
After settling the matter of the prisoners of war, Joshua dragged back tired.
The army's management of prisoners of war followed the principle of sunrise and sunset, and they returned to their barracks after dinner under supervision, and each room was locked so that the garrison could really rest.
She knew that the commander was entertaining the prisoners of war, and she had always been ashamed of this, but there was nothing she could do. In Joshua's opinion, if he had enough power, he would order these captives to work to death!
However, the actual situation was diametrically opposed to what she thought, and she never expected the commander to talk about the treatment of prisoners of war.
With a hint of sympathy, Yang Mingzhi said: "I have heard a lot of things from the mouth of this prisoner of war, and the prisoner of war camp is obviously too harsh on prisoners of war!" They work in dangerous environments, and many have chronic diseases! Moreover, although the food we provide is heavy enough, it contains too little energy! Prisoners of war will be exhausted from long-term work! So I mean, since you're also the director of the POW camp, you should give them more food! β
Joshua was stunned for a moment, the chief is so ordered?! Her emotions rose suddenly, and she shook out the resentment she was holding in her heart, and said righteously: "Comrade Deputy Division Commander! Do we need to give them more food? Don't you know, how the Germans treated our captured fighters? We forced them to mine, but we still gave them food! Did anyone starve to death in a prisoner of war camp? It's simply impossible! Just now, I saw with my own eyes that after each prisoner of war had eaten dinner, their bellies were bulging, like pregnant women! β
The woman's eyes were sharp, and her words turned like knives at Henschel. She knew that the German had learned some Russian, so he probably understood his own rants.
Joshua told the bloody reality, after all, she learned about the misery of the soldiers after being captured from the rescued Soviet prisoners of war.
"The Germans gave almost no food to the captured Red Army soldiers, and everyone was like sheep in a sheepfold, and they could only sit stupidly. You tease and tease the POWs with the leftover cans and boxes, and watch the POWs rub the food scraps off the cans with their hands! You deliberately starved the Red Army prisoners of war to death!
And what about you? I thought maybe I could learn from you and let everyone continue mining tomorrow without any food! You're starving to death and exhausted! β
Qiao Shuya was excited to eat people, she was so rude in front of the chief, Yang Mingzhi simply turned a blind eye. This woman needs to vent her anger, and Henschel should also be able to understand that she is still in a happy situation.
When Joshua took a breather, Yang Mingzhi slowly stood up, waved his hands to silence her, and said to Henschel: "Because the Soviet Union did not sign the Geneva Treaty, the German torture of prisoners is not condemned. So the Soviets are also learning from you, look at this woman, she joined the army to avenge her family. All of you Germans are her enemies, and this idea of revenge spreads throughout the swamp. If it weren't for the discipline of a high-ranking officer like me, you would have been killed a long time ago! β
There is no point in continuing to ask, Yang Mingzhi has a basic understanding of the current situation of the prisoner of war camp.
In short, the order was to guarantee that they would not starve to death, and in fact all of them were injured on the job. Prisoners of war do not die of starvation, but from continued weakness and eventually death from lung infections.
Yang Mingzhi finally said: "Henschel, you can go back, I have understood the problems you reacted to, and some things need to be changed." But one thing is absolutely constant, and that is that the forces of justice will prevail, your FΓΌhrer will die, and war criminals will be judged. I advise you to make this clear to your friends when you go back, and if you want to live until the end of the war and return to Germany, give me a good job! You only have a chance to survive if you are unconditionally obedient, and even a woman can kill you if you resist a little! β
