An Yi returned to the study, Du Yi's face was solemn, and he finally began to report the intention of this time - there was a big mistake in the German executive department of the "Taobao" plan, about 6,000 tons of cultural relics and antiques were detained by German intelligence agencies, more than 90 pawn shops were seized for no reason, and nearly half of the employees were restricted from freedom. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the diplomatic agencies of Switzerland, Spain, Sweden and other countries have asked the German side to return the goods, lift the seizure and detain the personnel, but the German side was unmoved, and the German intelligence agencies came with a message in the early hours of this morning that the Nazi government hoped that the two countries would deepen their understanding of each other, exchange what they had and what they had before, and restore the previous peace, so that they could unconditionally return the goods and the pawn shop would operate as usual in the German-controlled area.

An Yi frowned: "What's going on?" The 'Taobao' plan is so secretive: 'How did the Germans find out?' ”

Du Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "There are always traces to follow...... The secret police in the hands of the intelligence genius Heydrich were not vegetarians, they had woven a large net in Germany, and the monitoring of society was pervasive, and it was difficult for the intelligence agencies of the Allies to exist in Germany.

"We have a certain amount of influence in all strata of Germany, and it would be a real self-deception to say that their intelligence agencies know all about it."

An Yi stroked his chin and thought silently. Seeing this, Du Yi was worried that An Yi would cancel the fruitful "Taobao" plan, so he simply made a detailed report on the situation in Germany to deepen An Yi's understanding and judgment.

After Germany's defeat in the last European war, the huge war reparations under the Versailles Peace system led to the collapse of the German economy, and the people suffered from inflation.

The Great Depression and famine even led to sensational crimes in Berlin: a butcher shop owner lured young people who came to Berlin to find work near the train station, tricked them into killing them in his own home, and then made sausages and bacon to sell cheaply to the hungry...... of the citizens.

On the basis of such painful lessons, the Nazi government instituted a war rationing system based on the rational distribution of food and household goods according to the German economy.

Because of this, from the outset of the war, Germany enjoyed an advantage over its weak and unprepared neighbors in terms of the stockpiles of war materiel, which enabled them to use blitzkrieg tactics to achieve successive victories over a period of several years.

Germany's preparations for war in the field of agriculture were very thorough, the government deliberately increased the production of domestic agricultural products, foreign trade was shifted as far as possible to those countries with which Germany counted on to maintain contacts, the number of agricultural stockpiles increased rapidly, and the institutions governing agriculture were strengthened. As a result of these measures, Germany's dependence on external supplies has been reduced from 25 per cent to about 10 per cent, and Germany has become self-sufficient in the supply of bread, potatoes, sugar, dairy, meat and vegetables in general.

By the time the war began, Germany had stockpiled enough grain, sugar, 270,000 tons of lard, fat, and butter for the whole country for more than two years, as well as a large amount of oats and corn for fodder, in addition to a large amount of leather, cloth, and silk.

In order to avoid the food shortages encountered during the last war, the Nazi government had every once in a while with special officials going into the countryside to monitor agricultural production, farmers were told to make the best use of all land and livestock, and city dwellers were urged to plant vegetables instead of flowers and seedlings in front of and behind their houses. After the war between Germany and Britain and France, although the prices on the market were not very expensive, most of the ordinary daily necessities could only be purchased by purchasing vouchers or shopping permits rationed according to the household registration, and if you wanted to buy food in excess of the permitted amount, you had to pay double the price.

From the beginning of the invasion of Poland, the weekly ration per person of Berlin was 2,250 grams of bread, 700 grams of meat, 280 grams of margarine and sugar, 110 grams of artificial jam, 150 grams of beans, 63 grams of artificial coffee, 420 grams of dairy products, fats and oils, 1.4 liters of milk, and only pregnant women and children were allowed to buy whole milk.

The Germans' diet, which used to be meat-based like other Europeans, is now only rationed 700 grams of meat per week, and each person is only three or four thin slices after cooking it every day, and fresh vegetables and fish are hard to see.

In front of butcher shops and local shops, you can often see long queues of housewives holding vegetable baskets. If you see a woman waiting in front of a store with her children, there must be candy for sale in that store. In front of the cigarette paper shop were well-dressed men, who stood in line for an hour or two just to buy a few cigars or a box of cigarettes. If these addicts are lucky enough to buy what they want and want to get a beer in the tavern to breathe, then they have to add a "wartime surtax" to the cost of the drink.

The gasoline-burning buses on the streets of Berlin suddenly disappeared, and most of the trams were replaced by female drivers, many of whom were young women, so that the number of men hitchhiking suddenly increased. The women gave up their leather shoes and wore them with wooden cloth and walked on the sidewalk, "kicking and dragging", like Japanese women's clogs. At the same time, women with dogs on the streets are rare, and the famous dog poop on the streets of Berlin is very little and almost nothing, popular with cleaners.

Only three months into the war, the Nazi government issued ration cards for clothes, which varied for men, women, boys, girls, and babies, with the exception of the baby's ration card, each with a hundred points on the card. It costs five points to buy a pair of socks or stockings, but you can only buy five pairs of socks per year. A set of pyjamas costs thirty points, which is almost one-third of the total amount of the ration card, but if you buy a dressing gown, you can save five points. A new coat or suit will cost sixty points. Clothing ration cards for ordinary adults are also subject to seasonal restrictions, with socks, handkerchiefs, scarves and gloves available in winter, shirts, collars and underwear in summer, and ties and undershirts in spring and autumn. The baby's clothing ration card mainly supplies diapers, but the quantity is extremely limited.

After the official annexation of Poland, the German government relaxed rationing a bit on Christmas that year, giving each person a quarter pound of cream, 100 grams of extra meat, and four eggs during the Christmas week instead of one. In addition, there is an extra pound and a half pound of rice and vegetables, plus a pound of sugar, jam and coffee.

But the extra rations did not stop the constant trade in food and gifts on the black market, and farmers from all over the country went into the mountains to hunt down game and sell it at high prices, which cost twenty Reichsmarks per pound of venison.

It's a pity that many of the good things that are in the window are not available for purchase, because according to the government's orders, they are only there for exhibition. Germans tend to give each other gifts such as clothing, soap, perfume, candy, etc., at Christmas, but these things are all rationed, and they have to give something else. People crowded into shops, mostly buying books, radios, gramophones, records, and jewelry.

Half of Germany's population is frozen at home, in the office or in a factory, because there is no coal or fuel for heating, with the cold cold in the long winter winter and the outside temperature reaching -15 degrees Celsius. The poor people on the streets, pushing or carrying bags of coal in strollers or on their shoulders, were full of complaints.

Fortunately, Hitler was able to ensure that the common people of the capital did not look so shabby at the table by robbing the rich countries of Western and Northern Europe, and then the surrender of Denmark, Belgium, Luxembourg, and France made the Berliners very excited for a while, and people talked about the possibility of peace with Britain.

In fact, compared with the embarrassing situation of Britain and France and other countries during the same period, the Germans lived a much happier life, and the large quantities of agricultural products, meat, and luxury goods shipped from the occupied countries prospered the German market, and the huge occupation fees paid by the occupied countries enabled Germany to loot the consumer goods markets in these countries.

Hearing this, An Yi asked curiously: "After the defeat of the German army in West Asia this time, the Germans will be quickly beaten back to their original shape and their quality of life will decline rapidly, right?" ”

"I'm afraid not!"

Du Yi shrugged his shoulders: "After the myth of the invincibility of the German ** team was shattered under the blow of my powerful army, the lives of the Germans were indeed affected to a certain extent, but it was not too much, they also occupied the whole of Europe, the Nazi government implemented strict rationing of all consumer goods, coupled with the continuous tribute of the occupied countries, as well as the tribute of Hungary, Bulgaria, Norway, Sweden, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands and other countries, the living standard of the Germans is relatively high compared to other European countries and the United States!" ”

An Yi laughed dumbly when he heard this, and shook his head again and again. It is ironic enough to say that Europe, which was once the economic and political center of the world, and the United States, which developed rapidly after the last world war, have been ravaged by the Axis ** team, while the countries of Asia and West Asia, which were originally catastrophic, have avoided the threat of war because of the strong rise of the An Jiajun, and there has been a rare peace.

An Yi's expression slowly became serious: "Let's talk about the implementation of the 'Taobao' plan in Europe!" ”

Du Yiyu reported: "Our 'Taobao' plan has been implemented since '39' and has been in place for four years now. The first countries we opened were Germany and the Austrian Czech Republic, Poland and other countries that it occupied. In the process of successive annexation of other countries, Germany accumulated a large number of dividends and plundered countless wealth. Those precious metals are hard currency at all times, but the value of the large number of antiques and cultural relics plundered by the Germans is very difficult to define, especially those things that are privately collected by officers and soldiers, and they urgently need to be exchanged for foreign exchange or hard currency, and our pawn shop is specially opened in response to this demand.

"Pawnshops are registered in neutral countries such as Switzerland, Sweden, Spain and Portugal, and each pawnshop is staffed by white agents from the European and American divisions of our intelligence system, supplemented by one or two specially dispatched appraisers, usually hired locally. Most of the counterfeit banknotes we have made in the form of fake US dollars, yen, etc., are exchanged through this secret channel, and then laundered by the banks of these countries and regions, and no one knows that the money is circulated by us after changing hands many times! Most of the things we exchanged for were brought back by underwater transport ships through smuggling routes......"

An Yi asked puzzledly: "In that case, how could Germany detain so many supplies?" ”

"Since the rapid deterioration of our relations with Germany last year, the Germans have been conducting exercises around the English Channel in order to cover up their attempts to attack us, and the coastal areas and coastal waters are heavily guarded," Du Yi explained. After the outbreak of the Great War in West Asia, the British actively launched a counteroffensive, and the Germans were tired of coping, and we had no way to send smuggling boats to transport back the materials paid.

"Although we found a relationship afterwards and asked the governments of the countries to which these pawnshops belonged to come forward, the Germans were very tough-minded, and those so-called neutral countries were all grass on the wall, so how could we dare to accuse the Germans? So he kicked the problem back to us! The Germans probably got the codebook of our intelligence system, and today they even sent a telegram directly to the European Department of the Ministry of State Security. ”

After speaking, Du Yi looked at An Yi with some concern, afraid that he would be held accountable for the loss of the codebook by the intelligence officer.

An Yi has no intention of holding him accountable at all, after all, in other people's land, as long as the German intelligence agencies are dispatched quickly, it is difficult to keep secrets. An Yi groaned for a moment, and suddenly smiled dumbly: "Germany has taken great pains to prevent us from taking advantage of the victory to pursue.

It's okay, anyway, I didn't think about hitting Europe, if that's the case, it is estimated that the 'yellow peril theory' will be flooded in an instant' God knows if Churchill will make the wrong choice after his eyes are red, after all, the most brilliant crown is now on our heads!

"Tell the German government that we Chinese have always kept our promises, will never go back on our word, and take the results of the negotiations in the diplomatic department as the benchmark!" In the future, trade between the two sides will be carried out through the Caspian Sea! I'm still saying the same thing, the Germans are occupying ~~

- Update the first ~~ area to replace idle machinery and mining equipment, as well as precision lathes, experimental instruments, important chemical catalysts and additives can be exchanged! Even those high-ranking teachers, doctors and scientific researchers in the occupied territories! Aren't those hospitals in France, Belgium, Denmark, Poland without medicines? Isn't there no textbook for the school holidays? It's not interesting to raise so many doctors and teachers, it's better to cheapen us!

"Finally, let the Germans clear out a secret military port, let our underwater transport ships dock, we can import some things that the Germans are interested in, such as rubber, tungsten ore, etc., and we can also transport back people and goods that are inconvenient to transshipment through the Caspian Sea through the transport ships!"

Du Yi was a little surprised: "Will this raise tigers and stay in trouble?" What if the Germans regained their strength and attacked us again? ”

"Even if we give them all the prisoners, we won't be able to make up for the loss of four million elite troops in the Two Rivers region! Since the war in West Asia, the German army has been completely frightened by us, and an army that has lost the will to fight is no longer a threat to us, since I can release them, I am sure to arrest them again! An Yi said confidently.

"Okay!"

Du Yi stood up: "I'll handle it, I think after getting a lesson, the Germans will become smarter: the Son of Heaven has entered a low ebb of writing, and every word is very difficult, and it is difficult to think about every word and every sentence...... Annoyed, it seems to come like this every year!
