The convoy entered Wolfsburg, where the most striking feature was the four large towering chimneys of the car factory foundry. This has become the symbol of Wolfsburg, and every brochure has a picture of the four chimneys.

The car factory is located on the north bank of the canal, and the factory area is very large, surrounded by uninhabited forests.

The workers' homes were located on the south bank of the canal, and under the unified planning, a beautiful community was formed.

The railway station runs parallel to the canal and runs east-west along the south bank of the canal, connecting Berlin on one side and Braunschweig and Hannover on the other.

A few years ago, steel and accessories from the Ruhr area, instruments from Switzerland, tires from Hannover could be transported directly here by water and rail. Cars and tanks from factories were also sent to all parts of Europe via canals and railways.

However, the current Volkswagen factory has long since lost the hustle and bustle of the past, and the factory on the north bank of the river is not even allowed to enter the factory, and most of the equipment in it has been dismantled and transported.

Countless workers had to rely on the little food distributed by the British, and lived here in difficulty. Long-term malnutrition has made everyone's body weak, and even if they want to resist, they don't have enough physical strength.

When the car passed the canal bridge, at the head of the bridge, hundreds of workers sat quietly on the main road, blocking the entrance and exit of the road.

The convoy drove all the way in front of them, and they didn't get up, but just watched the convoy with a blank gaze.

Hyulder asked, "What are they doing here?" ”

Yannick looked at Lawsons, who shook his head as well. Yannick pondered for a moment and said, "Just go down and ask." ”

At this time, a group of British soldiers came over from the side of the bridge, one by one, fully armed, and ran over neatly.

The crowd looked a little flustered, but they still sat still in the middle of the road. When Yannick got out of the car, he found that many tents had been set up in the grass on the side of the road, and many people were standing at the door of the tents, looking at the convoy indifferently.

A short, bearded old man came up, followed by a group of young men, who clearly had great respect for the old man and kept him in the middle.

The old man said in English: "Ladies and gentlemen, please send us a doctor, we have no unreasonable requests, we just don't want our relatives to die in front of us like this." ”

Yannick took a deep breath, resisted the feeling of sadness, and pretended to look indifferently at the tent on the side of the road. "Are they all sick in there?"

Hearing Yannick's question in German, the other party paused for a moment before saying, "You are Yannick Hoffmann?" ”

Yannick paused and asked, "You already know me?" ”

"Yes, the Englishman's notice was posted a week ago, and we are all waiting for your arrival......" The old man wiped his hands on his body before reaching out and said, "Dernhack, former director of the Volkswagen Factory Life Department. ”

Yannick shook his hand and said, "I thought I would be the first to meet the head of production. ”

Huck smiled bitterly and said: "Almost all the management has been arrested, and today's Volkswagen factory can only be supported by a group of young people, no, it's just a group of people with no future waiting here to die......"

Yannick glanced at the tents again, and Helde and the rest of his entourage had gotten out of the car to check on the men. "How many people are sick?"

The medical system in Germany has almost collapsed, and even if there are doctors, there are no medicines, and now these sick people are almost waiting for death.

Huck looked at him hopefully and said, "More than a hundred, and most of them are elderly...... "Afraid that he won't be able to touch Yannick's heart," he added, "They are all experienced technicians and engineers, but now they are ......"

Yannick knew that he would face many obstacles if he wanted to receive the masses, but he didn't expect that these people didn't seem to resist his arrival.

Naturally, because of these sick people, the British would not use their precious medicines on the Germans, and the sick old people could only wait for death in silence.

But it is impossible for him to save everyone, not to mention the question of how much it costs, and more importantly, I am afraid that many people will be incurable.

They probably have no hope of surviving, and the only thing they can hope for is medicine to alleviate some of their suffering.

The group of British soldiers ran neatly across the bridge, shouting at the workers sitting on the ground. Although the disobedient workers did not raise their guns, their attitude was by no means kind, and many soldiers kicked their bodies with their big feet.

The platoon commander who led the team obviously knew Lawsons, and he greeted Lawsons with a smile. "Mr. Lawsons, welcome to Wolfsburg, although today's welcome ceremony is a bit special."

Yannick said in English, "Can you make your soldiers gentle?" These workers are not threatening, they are not even hungry to get up. ”

Although he didn't know Yannick, the platoon commander was not a fool, and from the position where these people were standing, he could tell that these people were headed by Yannick.

And in the factory, those big people are busy these days, for today's guests, if he doesn't know who Yannick is, it would be too stupid.

He turned around and scolded, and the violent movements of the soldiers stopped, and they stood in the middle of the crowd.

Then he smiled back and said, "Mr. Hoffmann, welcome to Wolfsburg." We can't be blamed for our bad attitude, just because these people are too stubborn. The whole of Germany is now short of medicines, where would anyone care about the lives of hundreds of people in this small place. Being able to give them food on time is already the limit of what we can do. I'm Sergeant Kit......"

Yannick shook his hand and asked, "How much food can each person give out per day now?" ”

He withdrew his hand and shrugged his shoulders with a smile. "I'm just a sergeant, and that's the only platoon I manage."

"Three pounds of bread, two hundred grams of cream." Huck said, "It's a week's worth of ......."

If you only have bread, this food is probably only enough for one person in a day, but now, it is a week. It's no wonder that these people are all pale and weak.

It is absolutely impossible to eat enough, and these foods can only keep them from starving.

It's still summer, and it's still easy to get by, but in winter, these foods definitely don't provide enough calories.

Thinking of what Jonas said, his heart was filled with pressure. At this time, there was a shortage of food, a great famine, and I don't know how many Germans would not survive this winter......

He turned to Huck and said solemnly: "Mr. Huck, I came to Wolfsburg to find a way out for Volkswagen, so that the workers can have work, food to fill their stomachs, and ...... Adequate medicines. I don't know where I can go, but at the very least, no matter how bad it is. ”

Huck didn't believe Yannick's promise, or he couldn't believe it. Of course, it is more likely that he demanded better conditions for the workers at one time.

"Mr. Hoffmann, also German, we don't have much resentment about your takeover of Volkswagen, but we don't want to listen to your promises afterwards, but we want to see hope. People are dying every day here, and I hope you can bring some medicine to these patients for the sake of the Germans, we have our own doctors, but we don't even have the most basic painkillers. ”

Yannick groaned for a moment, knowing that the current concession would probably give the workers an inch. Before they took over the factory, they let themselves contribute, and more conditions would be put forward later.

It is simply impossible to expect that people who are already in a desperate situation will have much more sense of sanity and morality, and they will even put forward more harsh conditions because of their own concessions.

However, if you want him to ignore these people, Yannick himself can't get over it, after all, he is also a German. And the conditions that these people are putting forward now, standing on their standpoint, are by no means excessive.

"Colonshire, you stay here, check the situation here, ask the doctor what medicines the doctor is missing, and then go back to Cologne to find Felix and mobilize a batch of medicines."

"Yes, sir."

Yannick turned to Huck and said, "There's not much I can do now, at least not much before I take over the factory, but I'm not going to watch you die before my eyes." Mr. Haque, I have come in good faith, not to the French who want to move the Volkswagen factory to France, so I also need your cooperation and obedience. ”

Huck also understood the meaning of Yannick's words, nodded and said, "Mr. Hoffman can come to the dormitory after today's negotiation, I think there will be many people who are willing to communicate with you." ”

Yannick, on the other hand, did not want to be prematurely involved in the personnel mix, and at this stage, he cared mainly about the position of the British.

The current Volkswagen, the personnel relationship is too complicated. French, British, factory Anglophile, pro-French, German rebels, local protectionists. These people have complicated relationships, and getting involved too early is not conducive to his control of the factory.

Before he knew the details of the other party, Yannick still honestly hugged the British thigh. Only when the factory is handed over to him and the personnel relations are sorted out can he develop his own power.

With Colonshire staying here, the workers did not become an obstacle to Yannick's access to the factory, and in fact, they did not have the mental and physical strength to directly confront them.

They stay here to fight for a little more chance of survival for the sick patients.

Looking at the towering but dilapidated Volkswagen factory, and the group of brightly dressed Britons on the other side of the bridge, Yannick calmed himself down.

Next, there will be a difficult negotiation, and the control of such a large factory will not be so easy to obtain.
