Chapter 696 - 696 Population
The third salvo did not hit the American warships in the distance, after all, the hit rate of the ship's guns at such a distance can only rely on faith, if you do not believe in a strong god and Buddha, it is estimated that it will be very difficult to directly hit the opponent's ships. After all, the 280 mm cannon was not designed to deal with enemy destroyers, but was intended to scare the equipment of cruisers that came to find trouble.
After all, the luck of the Americans has not yet reached a certain level, just like the German Navy's armored ship Admiral Spee, which was sunk by the British Royal Navy, was sunk by the British Navy with a few guns in the case of low visibility at night. This situation is a minority in naval battles, and most naval battles are in which both sides open fire and fight each other for half an hour, and the winner is not yet decided.
The Germans wanted to sink the destroyer, but unfortunately the density of fire did not meet the standard of coverage, and the rate of fire was not much superior, and after three salvos, the Germans did not continue to waste ammunition, but regretfully turned their turret back to their daily position, lowered the battle flag, and lifted the first-level combat alarm.
"I'm sorry, didn't sink that American destroyer. A short time later, a telegram came from the armored ship Lützov, reporting the results of the shelling that had just begun, and although it did not really produce results, it did shock a whole shipload of German expatriates. Now in the eyes of these people, their own country is the real power, after all, to have a strong motherland for the grassroots people, indeed has an incomparably proud attraction.
"Mr. Captain, I take the liberty of asking, is our country still as weak and dilapidated as it was at the end of the last war?" Kohler was a businessman after all, and he had to find a decent job as soon as possible when he returned to his homeland, and if Germany was still struggling economically, it would not be a good sign for a businessman.
The captain of the transport ship No. 317 smiled, then leaned against the railing in the sea breeze, held his hat and said: "Under the leadership of the great Führer, Germany has become the most powerful country in the world, the entire country's industry and agriculture are thriving, and the unemployment rate has been less than one percent for three consecutive years. ”
What the captain didn't know was that, thanks to the efforts of the powerful SS forces to persuade them to enter the studio, basically all the suitable candidates were recommended for various positions. In addition, because the German occupation area is so huge, many positions are Germans who wear many hats. Germany is now absolutely understaffed, and there are a lot of jobs waiting for people to go to work.
Of course, there is also the unknown side, that is, the German SS arrested some social gangsters and unmotivated people and sent them to concentration camps, although these people are used to being lazy, but when they are faced with the prospect of becoming concentration camp managers and concentration camp workers if they do not work, their enthusiasm for work is high, especially after they really shoot a group of recalcitrant people......
"Is the economy really that good?" Kohler was stunned, since Roosevelt launched the entire economic revitalization plan, the financial crisis of 1922 took Americans ten years to come out, while Germany in a near-crazy operation, accumulated a large amount of raw capital, when the financial crisis came, to achieve "alone".
Of course, Kohler had heard of this economic myth in Germany, but with such a small sum of money, it has achieved a snowball effect in Germany, stimulated domestic demand and economic growth, and mobilized the Wehrmacht to engage in subsidy activities such as aquaculture. And this kind of thing is just a non-existent thing in the German high-level, this kind of thing relies on the independent existence of the war cycle, and pushes the war and the economy of Germany in an invisible form to roll forward.
"You'll know when you go, why did you go to all the trouble to get you here, it's because the current manpower is not enough. The captain said as he took a pipe out of his pocket and put it in his mouth: "You don't know how much we have come up with to make up for the shortage of labor. ”
......
At the same time, an important port in the Mediterranean, the logistics and supply center of the German-Italian forces in North Africa, the port of Brega. A freighter was slowly approaching the huge dock, and the melodious whistle sounded far and wide, everything seemed to be far away from the war, and even the Italian soldiers patrolling with rifles on their backs seemed to be leisurely.
However, as the ship rested firmly on the dock, the Italian soldiers opened the warehouse under the noses of the German officers, and then a group of unclothed refugees appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and it was surprising that these were all black people from Africa, and they had been selected according to certain conditions for their size.
A black man in a German military uniform triumphantly pointed to the group of malnourished men and introduced them in fluent German: "1,000 able-bodied men according to our agreement." Almost all of them have killed people, and they are very good fighters. So, where is the stuff I want?"
The German officer smiled and pointed to the boxes of supplies being loaded and unloaded with his hands behind his back, and then replied: "The things you want are over there, enough for you to build your own country on the territory you want, provided that you have someone to use them." ”
"You don't have to worry about it, the rest of the money is here, count it!" The black man in the SS uniform, without epaulettes and ranks, threw the German officer a simple pocket sewn with patches, similar to linen but rougher, probably some kind of local specialty, or maybe the linen had been used for too long.
When you open the cloth pocket, you will find a dense collection of gems and diamonds, colorful, and you can't open your eyes in the sun. The German officer closed his pockets and smiled and slipped into his briefcase. Stretched out his hand and shook hands with the blacks: "The Third Reich supports the cause of freedom of the African people, and we hope to be good friends with the ancient and ancient Africa, and we are very ......generous to good friends."
"In fact, we are not very satisfied with the T-26 tanks, and if we can, we are willing to buy 50 Leopard tanks, make a price, and I will never bargain. The black leader of the German agent in Africa, known as General Vercumman, spoke. He had studied in Germany for a while, so he knew a lot about German weapons and equipment.
"General Vercumman, we can't sell enough tanks ourselves, can we? As for this batch of T-26 tanks, the Führer made an exception and sent them in the hope that cooperation between us could be carried out as soon as possible. The German officer smiled apologetically and rejected the black general's request.
Even he thought this was a bit too much, and sold 50 T-26 tanks, 400 old P-38 submachine guns, and 10,000 Mauser 98K rifles for a sky-high price, in exchange for a full 1,000 black slaves, and enough diamonds to pay off many debts. The only authentic point is that Germany promised to build a 30-kilometer railway for Africa, and the location was chosen by the general Vercumman.
When there was a population shortage in Germany, Accardo and Augustus hit the idea of labor on the black Africans, and the Germans penetrated into the interior of Africa and provoked wars between the blacks, which had the advantage of having an outdated arms sales channel and a good number of black prisoners of war from time to time. The use of these people for delicate engineering may be problematic, but working as laborers in the port is still a good option.
In this way, more than 1,900 black prisoners of war had been sent to Europe to work as laborers in the inefficient little ports along the Italian coast. Within the army, there were even some blacks who were supplemented on a pilot basis, doing some logistical handling and manual labor, and the number was not large, only about 120 people.
This is a bold attempt by the German government, on the other hand, the Germans are also trying to supplement the purebred Germans, families with 3 children, the government will subsidize a Porsche barrel car for free, and families with 4 children can receive two salaries as government childcare subsidies. The government required every family to have at least two children and provided free nine years of compulsory education for all children.
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand what kind of treatment these German-Italian expatriates who have returned to Germany from the United States will encounter in Germany itself. By the time they disembarked, the wharf was already full of company representatives who had come to recruit staff, from skilled workers to professional managers, all the jobs they could think of required a large number of people, and the government even provided them with a rent-free house for two years - they instantly found a sense of home here.
However, secretly, the investigation of American spies has also been carried out in an orderly manner, many people have been repeatedly investigated several times, and those who may have been planted as spies have been isolated, and quietly carry out work arrangements without contact with industrial secrets. As for why the intelligence services of the SS and Wehrmacht were so careful, it was because they also planted a large number of spies among the American Germans who had fled to the United States, and the so-called people who knew you best were often your opponents, and this sentence could not be more apt here.
In the process of declaring war between Germany and the United States, November passed quietly, and the cold December finally arrived, and at this point near Christmas, the German troops and Soviet troops on the Eastern Front were brewing a great war.

Don't forget the national humiliation, which is the best reflection on the war, and what we have to do is that in the next war, there will not be one more day of national humiliation. May the indomitable spirit of our great motherland be with us, may the courage of our ancestors resist aggression be with us, may the mighty forces be with us, long live China!
