"Let's go! Don't look around, if you want to die, there are many chances, but until then you must contribute enough to the Empire's industry! From this day forward, you should no longer think of yourself as a human being, but as a machine, a machine that will work until death! ”

Xie Sancong, protecting his children and wife, struggled to move his steps slowly through a group of captives and Jews.

When Paris was captured, he gave the opportunity to evacuate to an intelligence agent whose wife was pregnant, while he himself was captured alive by the Germans because he missed the last retreating truck.

Fortunately, Xie Sancong is an oriental face, and for the Germans, his appearance is definitely ranked second to the Jews and Slavs, and he is not very valued.

In addition, Xie Sancong was also a well-known wealthy businessman in France, and under the operation of some German businessmen who usually did business with him, his family was spared from being slaughtered and buried alive, but they were inevitably driven to a concentration camp for forced labor.

Xie Sancong knew that as long as he didn't die, he would have a chance to escape, and now that the whole of Europe was under the iron hooves of Germany, what he had to do was to be false and unwilling, not to attract the attention of the other party, because he knew that there were many of their intelligence officers in the German army, and as long as the cripple and Mr. Zhou learned about his recent situation, they would definitely send someone to rescue them.

And on the other hand, Xie Sanzhong believes that he is now on the front line of the German theater of operations, and the intelligence he can collect is also first-hand, and he can also unite these prisoners who are imprisoned in concentration camps.

For various reasons, Xie San never chose to escape at the first time, but was escorted into a labor camp by the Germans with his family.

The camp, a former chemical factory, was enclosed in a high barbed wire fence just outside Paris, and the Germans drove their captives into it like cattle, toiling day and night.

They sometimes only had one meal a day, and if the Germans were slow to grab the food, even that meal would be taken away by others, and they would be hungry all day.

Fortunately, Marven followed Xie Sancong's side, both of them had good skills, even if they deliberately hid, it was not a problem to grab some food from the crowd.

As far as Xie San observed, there were nearly 5,000 "criminals" imprisoned in this concentration camp, including political prisoners, surrendered deserters, Germans who opposed the Nazi Party, and Slavs, and the vast majority of these people were ordinary people who had never done anything bad and had never participated in a fight.

The Germans kept them together, and from initial ignorance, they gradually developed into centralized forced labor.

The Nazis seemed to have got the hang of building roads, digging canals, growing food, draining mud ponds, and even building swimming pools, mining and digging stones, doing everything.

However, there are also political prisoners who do meaningless work, such as in the Hoiberg concentration camp, where some political prisoners had to fill baskets with stones, then pour them out and refill them, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on,

However, as more and more prisoners of war escaped by going out to work, the Germans gradually stopped their outdoor work, and locked the prisoners in concentration camps, where they were allowed to cut down wood to build barracks, dig trenches, and carry stones and wood.

Sometimes, prisoners in the camps worked 12 hours a day or more, were sick everywhere, and were beaten and kicked by the overseers at the slightest slack, or even put in water prison.

There were no beds or blankets in the camps, and although there was running water, the prisoners were not allowed to use it.

Everyone slept on foul-smelling sludge at night, and because there were no toilets, the whole camp was stinking and susceptible to infectious diseases.

In the case of Xie San's concentration camp, in less than a month, more than 50 prisoners had died of disease, 16 had died of accidents at work, more than 800 people had been injured to varying degrees, 90 percent had been starved and exhausted for a long time, and the remaining 10 percent had just been better off, they were just better at management, flattery, and had received some care from the German SS.

"Hurry up! Your task today is to crack those rocks into the smallest pieces, and then transport them all to the body, and you won't have to eat until you finish dinner, so speed up! ”

An SS member with a leather whip left whip marks on some of the slower prisoners, who rolled and wailed while he laughed uncontrollably.

At this moment, one of the prisoners who had fallen let out a cry of pain, and his knee hit the sharp point of the stone, and blood suddenly flowed out, making him scream in pain.

However, the cold-blooded SS fellows did not let him take care of the wound because of his injury, but rushed over and punched and kicked him, and then dragged the dying prisoner into the mud and left it unattended like garbage.

"Dad, I'm scared ......"

Xie Sancong's youngest son was so frightened that he trembled all over when he saw this scene.

He hugged the child and kissed him lightly on the forehead: "Wendong, you are a man, remember?" You said that you have to protect your mother and sister with your father, you see how strong your sister is, she didn't cry, should we be stronger as men? ”

Xiao Wendong glanced at his sister, who was biting her lip and her face was a little pale, wiped her tears with the back of her hand, and cheered up and said: "Yes, Dad, I don't cry, we still have to protect my mother and sister, we are men." ”

Although the little guy showed a resolute face, his body trembled, and Xie Sancong stroked his hair, trying his best to soothe this young heart.

Xie San finally walked into a relatively dry road from his family, and only then did he live in a relatively "luxurious" wooden house with the help of some of his German friends.

This wooden house is built by bundling many pieces of wood, and it is only better than those shacks and mud floors, and when the night wind blows, the wind leaks on all sides, and when it rains heavily outside, it will rain lightly in the house, but in any case, it is also the best "Tianzi No. 1 room" in the concentration camp.

Xie Sancong walked into the wooden house with his two children and wife, as well as his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

He saw a little girl curled up in the mud puddle outside the hut with wet hair in front of her, who buried her face and said nothing, shivering and covered in mud.

Xie San looked left and right, bent down while no one was paying attention, and handed the kettle in his hand to the child's mouth.

When the girl drank the warm water inside, her cloudy eyes immediately bloomed, and she sucked greedily, but the warm water in the kettle was only a bottom.

After drinking the cleanest and warmest sip of water since being imprisoned in the concentration camp, the girl's body and spirit seemed to have recovered a little, and she looked at Xie Sancong gratefully, but she didn't have the courage to follow, so she could only watch them walk into a dry wooden house that could shelter from the rain with envy.

Walking into the wooden house, Xie Sancong glanced at it, and there were basically people sitting here with heads and faces in Paris, including a painter, a musician, a luxury merchant, and a movie star.

Although they know each other on weekdays, they have also lost their desire to greet each other in this environment, and just make a brief eye contact, they will bow their heads and curl up there, not knowing what is going on in their hearts.

Because Zhou Yu had done their homework in advance, and after the German army occupied Europe, they would carry out large-scale massacres of Jews, Slavs and other ethnic groups, so Xie Sancong prepared in advance and dyed the hair of his wife and old father-in-law yellow, which at least kept them from being abused by the Germans.
