Chapter 195 195 War and Peace

"We ...... This is...... Won't you?" asked Andrei, holding the cannon launcher's hand trembling slightly, and he didn't look back, still staring at the scope.

"Win!" a voice shouted loudly in the headset, and the German panzers in a tank not far away had already lifted their hatches, revealing half of their bodies and waving their hats to celebrate this hard-won victory.

"It should ...... It's a win. Wren reached out and touched his jacket pocket, took out the iron box, poured out two pieces of chocolate candy, threw them into his mouth, and said vaguely.

After a few more minutes, nearby friendly troops arrived and formed a defensive line in the village not far away, and the German armorers, who were still parked in place, really believed that they had survived the brutal battlefield.

"Wait here, take a break. Wren looked at Bruce, who was almost out of strength, and Andre, who was trembling around him, and barely squeezed out a smile: "I'll go to tank 124 and see if there is anything I need help with." ”

He pushed open his captain's hatch, climbed out of the turret of the tank, and just as he was about to get out of the car, he saw a Polish soldier lying on his back in the muddy ground, the blood in his nostrils had dried up slightly, and his blue eyes had not yet closed, staring straight at the gray sky.

The soldier had been pierced through the chest with a machine gun and a rifle at his side, and he didn't even have a grenade, and he didn't seem to pose any threat to the huge tank, but he was still hit and fell here, dead like a pile of dirt.

Wren looked at the corpse silently for a few seconds, then jumped out of the tank, his slightly muddy leather boots stumbling on the corpse's arm and staggering. But he never looked down at the unfamiliar face, but walked around to the front of his car and glanced at the deep dent of bullet marks.

It had just been hit by a shell, but due to the design of the inclined armor, the shell was refracted to another angle and flew into the sky against the front armor plate of the tank, so their tank was lucky not to be penetrated, and everyone was still safe except for a little fright.

The Leopard tank is a new type of tank that the Führer called a weapon of victory. Wren thought silently as he walked over the slightly muddy ground towards the 124 tank full of people in the distance.

......

"Gentlemen!" said Accardo proudly to the capitalists and merchants gathered around him, "today is September 28th, and the war has entered its fifteenth day. We swept through western Poland in 15 days, annihilating 450,000 Polish field troops, capturing 700,000 and occupying the entire western part of Poland. ”

"Boom. The applause rang out, and everyone looked at their ancestors with admiration and a sense of infinite hope for the future of Germany.

Accardo pressed his hand, motioned for everyone to pause their applause, and waited until the applause faded before he spoke again: "In the vast territory of Poland, there are ores, farmlands, people, factories, these are the fruits of victory for all of you here!"

This was undoubtedly the announcement of the Führer's intention to distribute vested interests, so everyone applauded even more enthusiastically, and everyone felt that this time was worth the trip. The property will be used as compensation to pay off debts owed by the government to companies and individuals. Real money from the various regions of Poland went into the German treasury and became the driving force that kept the German war machine running.

"Gentlemen, there is still room for victory in the future for a fairer distribution of strategic resources. Schacht and I designed a war bond, and you can ask my economic adviser, my wife, Mercedes, about the specifics. Accardo smiled and said, "If you want to buy or exchange the Mifu voucher for a war bond, you can contact Minister Schacht." ”

This trick was learned by Accardo in his previous life, using war bonds to gather private wealth in order to support the country's foreign expansion war, but Accardo always thought that this approach was too wishful thinking, so he did not come up with it to make people laugh.

However, the recent slowdown in Germany's economic growth rate has led to a shortage of materials due to the war, so Accardo found Shacht and proposed this proposal with a try-and-go attitude, but he didn't expect Shacht to appreciate it very much. Schacht believes that if people are simply asked to take out money to buy government bonds or war bonds, it will obviously be resisted and opposed by many people, but if rice fu coupons are used to exchange for war bonds, the risk is obviously much smaller.

In any case, they are future checks that cannot be cashed immediately, and it makes no difference to which kind of government mortgage certificate is held for large factories and enterprises, it is just a strange way to redeem it. And for those small enterprises, it is by virtue of the verbal commitment of the logistics department of the Wehrmacht that they have joined the army of producing military supplies one after another.

Amid applause, the slogan Long live the Führer resounded through the hall.

......

When Wren came to Tank 124, Company Commander Carter was leading a few tankmen to pull the wounded out of the hatch of the tank.

"Pull him out! Be careful! Pull him out!" Carter stood on the roof of Tank 124, bending over and carefully commanding several tank crews in soft hats. Next to the tank, two paramedics of the infantry were waiting there. At their feet, a bloodied soldier with a bandaged hand was silently leaning on the wheel of a tank and smoking.

Wren saw the wounded man pulling out of the tank through the gap in the crowd, and at least two blood holes in his body were flowing down the black tank soldier's uniform to the crotch of his pants, and then dripped down the heel of his shoe into the hatch, and Wren knew that the wounded soldier was in fact dead.

"The shells of Polish tanks hit a little below the artillery. Marcus saw Wren walk up to him, and without looking back, he explained what he had seen and heard: "The shell ricocheted, directly penetrating the thin steel plate on the tank hull, and the peeling pieces of broken iron pierced the head of the electromechanic. ”

"The mechanics are the unlucky ones who are being lifted. Wren nodded the hopeless tank crew with his chin: "Where's the commander?"

"The commander was still inside, with at least twenty holes in his lower body, and died in great pain, and the commander of the guns was also killed, no different from a sieve, and died without pain. The rest is the loader, the one sitting on the other side of the wheel. Marcus sighed and said, "Their luck is really bad. ”

Wren glanced at Marcus: "You know that sometimes luck is one of the elements of survival. ”

"Yes!" Marcus lit a cigarette and took a puff of smoke: "Compared to the Soviet political criminals we killed, we are indeed lucky to be alive." ”

He glanced at Wren, his eyes full of sadness: "Wren! When I die, I don't want to be so ugly. ”

"Everybody's ugly when they die. Wren smiled.

......

On the golden dome of the hall, an ornate chandelier hangs in the center, surrounded by angel paintings carefully sketched by the painters, and the light on the chandelier is vividly reflected. As one of Berlin's most luxurious hotels, every detail has been carefully designed to withstand the pecnautical pressure.

A dinner in this hotel costs 1,500 marks, and every day a No. 3 tank or two-thirds of a Leopard tank is eaten here. People are spending a lot of money here to show the difference between themselves and the poor acid. Despite the fact that there were a dozen workers squatting outside the hotel and munching on a hamburger of 7 marks, the people inside the hotel were convinced that the German economy was booming.

Now the lobby of this hotel is reserved for the birthday party of the noblest in Germany. No one questioned the extravagance of the incident itself, and no one thought about the bloody sacrifices of the German soldiers hundreds of kilometers away. Although Accardo did think of the people who shed his blood for him, he couldn't turn his face and scold here.

A hundred children from the Berlin elementary school stood on the stage in five rows, and the gorgeous lights illuminated these children in a lovely light, making people feel holy at first glance.

This is Fanny's birthday gift for Accardo for publicity-children's singing. This scene will be recorded in photographs and released as a series of propaganda activities for the Führer's concern for children's education.

"The great Führer leads us Germany to the future, you are a gift from God, and your presence is our new hope...... "The sweet singing accompanied by the orchestra is incomparably sweet.

......

"The Poles tried to assemble here...... Yes, the Air Force has detected this intention. A staff officer pointed to the map and said to his commander: "I have just received information that the SS units have come under heavy attack, four people have been killed and one tank has been destroyed. ”

"Destroyed?" the commander was stunned for a moment, then looked at his staff officer: "If I'm not mistaken, our tank losses since the beginning of the war have only been five, right? Three were destroyed because of mines, two because of mechanical problems, and other reasons. ”

"In any case, since we were reinforced to the SS panzers, we couldn't run after the butts of those tank men. The staff officer glanced at the commander: "You always want to watch xiàn, right?"

"Is the rally area within our range?" the commander pointed outside, "Let's see what this thing really does, too." ”

Outside their command car, soldiers were driving wedges into the front and rear sides of the car's tires to fix the car's position. The hydraulic jacks on the cars are also slowly lowering, holding the bodies of these special trucks steadily.

Above the windshield of the car, the iron plate that had been hanging was lowered, tightly blocking the windshield of the car and other windows, and the canvas behind the car was pulled open by the soldiers, revealing two rows of special devices like railroad tracks.

"Let those old artillerymen see how we managed to run out of ammunition they fired in half an hour in 25 seconds. The commander said proudly: "In two minutes, cover the target area!"
