Inside the barbed wire fence of a large prisoner of war camp outside Memphis, a large number of prisoners of war are holding various banners to welcome the new prisoners of war.

The Ming army won an unprecedented victory in the giant battle of encircling Tennessee. More than a million American troops became prisoners of war of the Ming army, and it was impossible for the Ming army to massacre prisoners of war. In this case, any disposal of prisoners of war of this magnitude becomes a headache.

In many previous battles, the Ming army had already captured millions of American prisoners of war. They built a large number of prisoner-of-war camps in various places to hold these prisoners of war. After all, it was impossible for these prisoners of war to be released before the war was over. And although the Ming Dynasty is not short of labor, so many prisoners of war can't support them in vain.

Most of the prisoners of war captured by the Ming army on the front lines were sent to various prisoner of war camps in the central United States. These camps, which were originally only temporary in nature, have now all been converted into official prisoner of war camps, because the Ming army is no longer able to use manpower, material resources and transportation capacity to carry out meaningless large-scale transportation for these prisoners of war.

By the time Charlotte fell, the remnants of the 79th Mechanized Infantry Division had moved into the town of Mooresville, just over twenty kilometers to the north. In fact, the crippled force on the Asheville front was only hours away from escaping.

It only took them a few hours to completely escape from the Ming army's encirclement. However, the remnants of the 27th Panzer Division, which was in front of them at the time, blocked the road, preventing them from leaving quickly. In the end, after the arrival of the Ming attack force, he became a prisoner of war. Most of the remnants of the 27th Panzer Division managed to escape.

According to the overall arrangement of the Daming military police, thousands of prisoners of the remnants of the 79th Mechanized Infantry Division and the 27th Armored Division were sent to this large, expanding prisoner of war camp on the outskirts of Memphis.

At this time, it was already June, and the local weather was very hot, and many of the mentally exhausted US officers and soldiers were loosely lined up in a long line to register one by one. At this time, most of the American officers and soldiers were very aware that their army had been defeated in this war, and they also knew that they had no possibility of victory. As a result, rebellion and escape are rare.

After all, this is a prisoner of war camp, and it can't be as comfortable as a regular military camp. Because there were so many newcomers, the already crowded house was once again filled with people.

"Hey, newcomer, you're all sleeping on the ground." Andrew has been in a prisoner of war camp for some time. Morton became the boss of the dilapidated house, after the previous POWs were sent to other POW camps. As soon as the new prisoners were brought into the room, they shouted at them, "All sleep on the ground!" ”

"Why!?" After the Ming military police closed the door, several new American prisoners of war had no fear of the Ming army in the face of the old prisoners of war. Immediately questioned loudly.

"Why?" Andrew snorted coldly, got up and leaned over with a dozen old prisoners of war, grinned and bared his teeth, and said with a sneer, "Just rely on our fists to be hard!" ”

Soon, a skirmish broke out. More than a dozen old prisoners of war beat up several newcomers, and viciously suppressed them on the ground and couldn't get up.

"No fighting." After hearing the movement, the patrolling Ming military police pushed open the door and came in, and immediately frowned and scolded when they saw the messy scene.

"Yes, sir!" The old prisoners of war, who were still like hungry wolves, immediately stood up and saluted and shouted loudly to the gendarmes.

It was only after the gendarmes had left that Andrew regained the murderous look on his face, stepped forward and stepped on a prisoner of war with blood on his mouth and nose and said, "Listen up." Here we must first listen to the gendarmes, and secondly, we must listen to us! If you don't listen to the gendarmes, you will be hung on a wooden pole! If you don't listen to us, you will be beaten and you will not be able to eat! ”

At this time, the prisoner of war camp was crammed with so many prisoners of war that it was no longer possible for everyone to eat in the cafeteria. Therefore, at this moment, the canteen became a place for the prisoners of war officers to eat, and ordinary prisoners of war had to go out to the canteen to collect food and return to their rooms to eat. The distribution of this food was left to the POWs to decide. Naturally, this caused a great deal of confusion.

However, the number of Ming gendarmes was small, and it was really impossible to supervise such a large number of prisoners of war. Therefore, they elected a person in charge of each room, and basically the one who stayed the longest was in charge of the management of the prisoners of war in his room.

Under normal circumstances, as long as no one dies, there is no such thing as serious injury. The gendarmes are not going to bother. Of course, if this happens, the gendarmes will directly pull out the prisoners of war who manage the room and use them as the goats. This is also the reason why although Andrew will beat those newcomers hard, he does not dare to go too far.

Andrew went to the dinner himself, after all, this was the greatest right he had to be appointed as the administrator of the prisoners of war in this room.

On the way back from the buckets of porridge and steamed buns, Andrew once again complains viciously about the officers who ate good things in the cafeteria, and at the same time hates why he didn't become an officer before he was captured. Back in his room, Andrew and the old POWs feasted on it. The new prisoners of war watched with blue noses and swollen faces.

Finally, there were some leftovers leftovers, and several new prisoners of war hurriedly rushed up to fight for it. The new prisoners of war belonged to two divisional units, and they did not deal with each other at all, and they often quarreled with each other. At this time, the old prisoners of war will be watching as a lively scene. Unless it's excessive, no one cares.

"Go clean up the toilet outside!" After washing and returning the rice bucket to the cafeteria. Andrew began to shout orders to the new POWs, "No smell!" ”

Several of the new POWs looked at each other with resentment, but Andrew, who had become accustomed to this, smiled and said, "Don't look at me like that. That's how people come here. If you are not an officer, then be honest and obedient, and wait for the war to go home to see your wife and children. If you don't obey, you want to do something. Did you see all those wooden poles outside the prisoner of war camp? Don't let your home, your wife and children become someone else's. ”

Although it is difficult to hear, in fact, Andrew is not wrong at all. was able to pick up a life from the bloody battlefield, and it was a life of a whole arm and a whole leg. No one wants to give their lives in these prisoner of war camps. You know, most people have families.

After experiencing endless life and death, having seen enough blood and death. There is no one more desperate to live than a prisoner of war.

The rest is simple. As long as people have hope, they will greatly anesthetize themselves, whether it is cleaning the toilet or working in hot weather, they have the motivation. After all, they can also treat newcomers in the same way after they become old people. This is a time of role models.

Of course, both new and old prisoners of war. It doesn't matter which unit they belong to. All the ordinary soldiers and prisoners of war, including those non-commissioned officers who were divided into the soldier class by the Ming military police, the only thing in common was to hate the officers.

After all, everyone could see that the officers had nothing to do every day, eating, drinking, smoking, sleeping and chatting. You can even take a hot bath and drink drinks and wine. Even boiling hot water for the officers and cleaning the toilets were all done by these ordinary prisoners of war. Under these circumstances, it was unlikely that any ordinary POW would have made a good impression of the officers.

And the management policy of the Ming army was like this, which seriously divided officers and ordinary soldiers. As a result, the prisoners of war lost their leaders. At the same time, their own antagonistic sentiments were erected within the huge number of prisoners of war. This was true both for different units and for confrontations between new and old POWs.

After the POWs were busy with their own infighting all day long, and at the same time most of their energy was consumed in their busy work. The gendarmes of the Ming Dynasty did not make direct contact, but deterred from above and became arbiters. This advanced prisoner management system succeeded in enabling the Ming army to take care of a large number of prisoners of war with a small number of troops, and there were no large-scale riots.

These prisoners of war remained in various prisoner-of-war camps until the end of the war. However, they were not immediately released home at the end of the war, after all, they were all soldiers who participated in the war. All the prisoners of war were assigned to various places where they were needed. For example, lumberyards, factories, repair shops, etc.

It took enough labor for the POWs to be released and returned home.

The Ming commanders at the front line did not care very much about the affairs of the rear. All they have to do now is how to sweep through all the lands under the control of the American army at lightning speed.

From Chicago in the north to Orlando in the south. On a long front, millions of highly motivated Ming troops launched a ferocious offensive towards the shores of the Atlantic. Especially the Ming officers and soldiers in North Carolina and Kentucky. They were the closest Ming troops to Washington, D.C., and after breaking the resistance of the defenders in front of them, they began to charge towards Washington, D.C. with full force. Intent on seizing the honor of being the first to enter the city.

However, although the U.S. military is now doomed to defeat, they have not chosen to give up! (To be continued.) )
