The third volley didn't hit the distant U.S. warship. After all, the hit rate of naval guns at this distance can only depend on faith. If you don't believe in a strong god and Buddha, you probably want to hit the opponent's ship directly. very difficult. After all, the 280mm cannon is not designed to deal with enemy destroyers, but to scare cruisers who come to trouble.

After all, the luck of the Americans has not been memorized to a certain extent. Just like the German Navy's armored ship Admiral Earl Spey, which was sunk by the British Royal Navy, it was almost killed by the British Navy when the visibility was very low at night. The gun sank. This kind of situation is a minority among the few in naval battles. In most naval battles, the two sides fired at each other for half an hour, and the winner has not yet been decided.

The Germans wanted to sink that destroyer, but unfortunately, the firepower density was not up to the coverage standard, and the rate of fire was not much superior. After three rounds of salvos, the Germans did not continue to waste ammunition. After the turret was turned back to its daily position, the battle flag was lowered and the first-level battle alarm was lifted.

"Sorry, I didn't sink that American destroyer." Not long after, the Lützow armored ship sent a message, reporting the results of the shelling just now. Although there were no real results of the battle, it really shocked the whole ship. German diaspora. Now in the eyes of these people, their own country is the real power. After all, to have a strong motherland is indeed extremely attractive to the people at the grassroots level.

"Mr. Captain, I would like to ask, is our motherland still as weak and dilapidated as it was at the end of the last war?" Kohler is a businessman after all, and he must find a decent job as soon as possible when he returns to his motherland. Work, if Germany is still struggling economically, it is definitely not a good sign for a businessman.

The captain of the No. 317 transport ship smiled, then leaned on the railing under the sea breeze, held his hat and said: "Under the leadership of the great head of state, Germany has become the most powerful country in the world. Both are thriving, and the employment rate has been less than 1% for three consecutive years.”

What the captain didn't know was that with the efforts of the powerful SS to persuade him to enter the studio, basically all suitable candidates were recommended to various positions. In addition, because the occupied area of ​​Germany is so huge, Germans hold multiple positions in many positions. Now Germany is definitely understaffed, and there are a lot of positions waiting for people to go to work.

Of course, there is another side that is unknown, that is, the German SS captured some social gangsters and people who were not enterprising, and sent them to concentration camps together. When the work is about to be reduced from a concentration camp manager to a concentration camp worker, their enthusiasm for work is high, especially after a group of stubborn people are actually shot...

"The economy is really that good?" Kohler was taken aback. Since Roosevelt launched the entire economic revitalization plan, it took the Americans ten years to get out of the financial crisis in 1922.

However, Germany accumulated a large amount of original funds in an operation that was almost crazy, and managed to "stand alone" when the financial crisis came.

Of course Kohler has heard of the German economic myth this time, but with such a small sum of money, it has achieved a snowball effect in Germany, stimulating domestic demand and economic growth, and mobilizing the National Defense Forces to engage in subsidy activities such as breeding. It's not some insider news that outsiders can know. However, such things as Mifu coupons are just a non-existing thing among the German high-level. This kind of thing relies on the independent existence of the war cycle to promote the continuous rolling development of Germany's war and economy in an invisible form.

"You'll know when you get there. Why did you try so hard to get you here? It's because the current manpower is not enough." The captain said as he took out a pipe from his pocket and held it in his mouth. In his mouth: "You don't know how many ways we have thought of to make up for the shortage of labor."

...

At the same time, an important port on the Mediterranean, the logistics supply center of the German-Italian coalition in North Africa, the Port of Brega. A cargo ship was slowly approaching the huge pier, and the melodious siren sounded far, far away. Everything seemed to be far away from the war, and even the Italian soldiers patrolling with rifles on their backs seemed relaxed and leisurely.

However, as the ship rested firmly on the pier, Italian soldiers opened the warehouse under the eyes of the German military officer, and then a group of refugees in naked clothes appeared in front of everyone. Surprisingly, these were all from African blacks have been selected according to certain conditions based on their body shape.

A black man in a German uniform triumphantly pointed at the group of malnourished men, and introduced in fluent German: "According to the cooperation agreement between our two parties, 1,000 strong men. Almost all of them have killed people. He is a very good fighter. So, where is what I want?"

The German military officer put his hands behind his back, smiled and pointed at the boxes of supplies being loaded and unloaded with his chin, and then replied: "The things you want are over there, enough for you to establish your own country on the requested site, provided that , you need someone to use these things."

"You don't need to worry about it, here is the other money, count it!" The black man in the SS uniform, but without epaulets and military ranks, threw a simple patched pocket to the German military officer, the material was similar to sackcloth But it is rougher. It may be some kind of local specialty cloth, or it may be that the linen has been used for too long.

Opening the cloth pocket, there are densely packed gemstones and diamonds, which are so colorful that people can't open their eyes in the sunlight. The German military officer closed his pocket and put it in his briefcase with a smile. He extended his hand and shook hands with the black man: "The Third Reich supports the cause of freedom for the African people. We hope to become good friends with the ancient and time-honored Africa. For good friends, we are very generous..."

"In fact, we are not very satisfied with the T-26 tanks. If possible, we are willing to buy 50 Leopard tanks. We will make an offer, and I will never bargain." The agent supported by Germany in Africa said, General Fukuman's black leader spoke. He has studied in Germany for a period of time, so he knows more about German weapons and equipment.

"General Fukuman, we really can't sell the tanks that we don't have enough equipment, can we? As for this batch of T-26 tanks, the head of state made an exception and sent them because he hoped that the cooperation between us could start as soon as possible. "The German military officer smiled apologetically, and refused the black general's request.

Even he himself felt that this approach was a bit too much. He just sold 50 T-26 tanks, 400 old P-38 submachine guns, and 10,000 Mauser 98k rifles for a sky-high price, and exchanged them for a whole lot. 1,000 black slaves and enough diamonds to pay off many debts. The only authentic point is Germany's commitment to build a 30-kilometer railway for Africa, at a location chosen by this General Fukuman.

When the problem of population shortage appeared in Germany, Akado and August put the idea of ​​labor on African blacks. The power of the Germans penetrated into the interior of Africa and provoked wars among blacks. The advantage is that there is an additional sales channel for outdated arms, and you can get a batch of pretty good black prisoners of war from time to time. These people may have some problems for precise engineering, but they are still a good choice for labor in the port.

In this way, more than 1,900 black prisoners of war have been sent to Europe to serve as laborers in the small and inefficient ports along the Italian coast. Get along pretty well. In the army, some blacks were even added as pilots to do some logistical handling and manual labor. The number was not large, only about 120.

This is a bold attempt by the German government. On the other hand, the Germans are also trying their best to supplement purebred Germans. For families with 3 children, the government will subsidize a Porsche barrel car for free. For families with 4 children, His mother can receive two wages as government childcare subsidies. The government requires every family to have at least two children and provides free nine-year compulsory education for all children.

So it is not difficult to understand what kind of treatment these German-Italian expats who returned to Germany from the United States will encounter in Germany. When they disembarked, the pier was already full of company representatives who came to recruit employees. From skilled workers to professional managers, all imaginable positions required a lot of manpower, and the government even provided them with a place for free. Rent housing for 2 years - they feel instantly at home here.

But in the dark, the work of investigating American spies has also been carried out in an orderly manner. Many people have been repeatedly investigated several times, and those who may be placed as spies are isolated, and they do not touch industrial secrets quietly. work arrangements. As for why the intelligence agencies of the SS and the Wehrmacht are so careful, it is actually because they have planted a large number of spies among the German-Americans who fled to the United States. The so-called people who know you best are often your opponents. The phrase couldn't be more appropriate here.

In the midst of the lively declaration of war between Germany and the United States, November passed quietly, and the cold December finally arrived. At this time close to Christmas, a great war was brewing between the German troops and the Soviet troops on the Eastern Front.

Not to forget the national humiliation is the best reflection on the war. What we have to do is that in the next war, there will be no more national humiliation day. May the indomitable spirit of our great motherland be with us, may the courage of our ancestors to resist aggression be with us, may the mighty power be with us, China, long live!
