Chapter 20: The Savior
Numbness, indifference, and panic were the biggest feelings Zhao Zhi had after entering the ghetto, the Jews who were driven by the German soldiers in the open field were as helpless as a flock of lambs to the slaughter, and they had a deep hatred for the Germans in their eyes, and even Zhao Zhi, who was wearing an SS uniform, became the target of their hatred. According to Rowling's list of the planes last night, the German troops guarding the ghetto were busy screening useful people among the Jews.
"Engineers and doctors will assemble in Area A, craftsmen and workers will assemble in Area B, and the rest will remain where they are," shouted a tall officer, standing at a table, and his German soldiers drove the Jews away with submachine guns, picking out the old and sick among them. According to the agreement between Zhao Zhi and Hitler, these Polish Jews would be sent to Bremerhaven, Germany, where they would wait for a combined fleet from Britain and the United States.
Hitler, of course, would not hand over these Jews to Zhao Zhi in vain, and a German army unit would pretend to be Jewish refugees to board an ocean liner, and after the convoy crossed Gibraltar, these ships full of German soldiers would quietly dock in the French port of Marseille. After the German army launched an attack on Poland, Britain and France first attacked Germany internationally, and after conquering Warsaw, these two countries declared war on Germany.
"My child, you can't take him away from me, he just has a cold, a lot of it will be fine" There was a riot in the ranks of the Jews, and a woman with a child in her arms was pulled out of the queue by German soldiers. The child she held tightly in her arms had long since stiffened, and her bruised face had long since stopped breathing, but his mother did not believe that her child was dead, and did not want the German soldiers to snatch her child from her arms.
"You are a Chinese, the Japanese are much more ruthless than this when they treat us" Tian Jing was just about to open his mouth to stop, but was pulled by Ye Kong, who was standing behind him. Following Zhao Zhi in Shanxi two in and two out, Ye Kong has seen too many more tragic scenes than this, this is on the territory of the Germans, they can't help but point fingers, Ye Kong will not let this woman who doesn't know what to do bad spoil his husband's big things.
Unlike Tian Jing's imagination, none of the Jews around the mad woman were willing to help her, and everyone avoided the woman, for fear that they would provoke the Germans and lead the trouble to themselves, and in the face of fear, everyone chose to save themselves. "You see, they themselves are not willing to help, as a Chinese, you better stay honest" Ye Kong showed a smile, as long as their own people were not harmed, the life and death of others had nothing to do with him.
"Major, this is the first batch of lists" A German officer in charge of the gathering area handed a list to Zhao Zhi, wearing an SS uniform, wearing the rank of major, plus the certificate issued by Hitler himself, it was enough to make Zhao Zhi unimpeded in the German-controlled area, not to mention that there were no less than 20 Gestapo members who acted with Zhao Zhi.
Zhao Zhi looked through the list in his hand, picked out the one of the craftsmen and workers and handed it to Ye Kong, then whispered a few words, and sent Ye Kong to take Mo Lun to Area B. Sachsenhausen had already made a suitable counterfeit banknote base, and a small printing house in Warsaw had become Zhao Zhi's trophy, and Zhao Zhi was in dire need of printers and related personnel who wanted to start anew, and the forgery Moren was very suitable for selecting the best of the Jewish craftsmen.
A large number of useful people among the Jews were separated and screened, and the remaining old and weak women and children were driven into the ghetto, and under the guns of the black hole, the Jews chose to compromise and bow their heads, but the Germans did not want to let them go. All of them were required to bring only their own change of clothes and a suitcase, and everything else on their bodies, such as jewelry, deed notes, and even the gold teeth in the mouths of the elderly Jews were removed by the dentist on the spot. If Germany wants to win this war, it must have strong logistical support, so in the agreement between Hitler and Zhao Zhi, all the property of these Jews belongs to Germany.
More than 30,000 Jews stood in front of Zhao Zhi, Zhao Zhi, who was standing in front of the microphone, looked at the Jews in the audience, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, these people will not give in to themselves, and the most tenacious Jews in the world will not yield to anyone, but his next plan needs these Jews, so Zhao Zhi asked to give a speech to the Jews in Warsaw in the gathering area, hoping that these Jews can obey his command in order to live.
"I am a Chinese" Zhao Zhi took off his military hat to reveal his black hair, Tian Jing, who was standing beside him, hurriedly translated for Zhao Zhi in Polish, "I came here from distant China, not to kill or to be a savior, I can't save so many of you, only I can save you." This is a war, war is cruel and cruel, you are the losing side, so you must bear the consequences of defeat"
"I'm from China, my country is being invaded by the Japanese, and the people there are suffering from defeat like you, so I need to fight the Japanese and drive them back to their own country" Zhao Zhi, who paused slightly, squinted at the German officers standing on the stage, "It's an honor that the Führer agreed to my request, and all the Jews in the German occupation zone will be handed over to me to manage, so, in order for you to continue to live, I hope you remember every word I say, Don't lose your life because of your stupidity."
"You will be sent to Bremerhaven, Germany, where a temporary concentration camp has been built to house you temporarily, and you will be embarkated from Bremerhaven and escorted by my soldiers to Burma, and then through Burma and the southwest of China, and finally to the far west of China, where your new home will be. You are war refugees, the countries along the way will help you free of charge, and my soldiers will provide you with protection" Zhao Zhi's words undoubtedly gave the Jews in the audience a shot in the arm, the Jews with a lively mind have been overjoyed, but the elderly Jews do not believe Zhao Zhi's words, they do not believe that a Chinese will rescue so many of their Jews from the Germans.
"Maybe you won't believe it, but that's the way it is, of course I didn't save you in vain, you will become workers and managers of the industry under my name, and exchange the value you create for your chance to live" Zhao Zhi's eyes gradually had a hint of murder, he is not a savior, if you want to live, you must show your ability, if you want to eat and drink, that is not good. "I need a lot of engineers, doctors and craftsmen, that's why I'm sorting you, and from today on, you have to learn English, my soldiers don't know your Polish"
After experiencing the abuse, beatings, and shooting of the German army, the numb Jews had the confidence to live for the first time, and of course the guns in the hands of the German army were the root of their silence. "From now on, I need 1,000 delegates who are familiar with Poland, and they are required to be able to drive, speak German, and communicate well with people" Seeing that the Jews in the audience were already a little nervous, Zhao Zhi threw out his olive branch, using Jews to manage Jews This is the best way, Zhao Zhi's mercenaries are all killing stars, and managing Jews is not his forte.
The 1,000 young Jews who volunteered to stand up were divided into separate groups and stood in a square, and Hans led someone to make a register of their ranks, and then gave each of them an armband with a yellow six-pointed star on it. "Only 300 of you will be left to run the Jews of Warsaw, and the remaining 700 will be divided into small teams and sent to other cities in Poland under the protection of the Gestapo to receive the Jews there, remember, if you want to survive and keep your people, you must do what I say, or you will pay the price in blood."
These Jews are all prisoners of the German army, Zhao Zhi plays the role of a savior at this time, but Zhao Zhi will never be a good man, once these Jews have crooked thoughts, endangering the safety of him and his mercenaries, Zhao Zhi does not mind creating a massacre, history will only be written according to the will of the victor, it is much better to be a butcher than to be a good person. It has to be said that the will of the people who erupted after the rebirth was too strong, and the Warsaw Jews, who thought it would take a few days to assemble, were consciously registered in just one day, and the Jews with only simple clothes did not appear in the riot that Zhao Zhi imagined.
At the same time as the 700 temporary administrators followed the Gestapo out of Warsaw, the Jews who had completed the assembly formed lined up in a long line to board the train to Germany, in order to transfer this group of Jews, the German army specially opened the railway train for Zhao Zhi to use, these Jews will be squeezed into the stuffy tank car like sardines to be sent into Germany, as for whether they can reach Bremerhaven alive, it depends on their luck, Zhao Zhi is not a nanny, and the facts cannot be considered for them.
"After all, my husband saved them from the Germans, didn't we, so we are not bad people" Ye Kong made a gesture to Tian Jing and Karina to please get in the car. Karina will temporarily follow Tian Jing to take charge of the Jewish refugees from Warsaw, and Zhao Zhi specially mobilized some mercenaries to protect their safety, until Zhao Zhi completes his trip to Berlin and rushes to Bremerhaven, Tian Jing can be sent back to his home in Berlin.
