Josie, Happy New Year! In the barracks, Brigadier General William Ross, an old acquaintance, gave Josie a bear hug.

The former colonel of the 8th Regiment of the 4th Division has now been promoted as the war progresses and ends. He has officially entered the ranks of generals, and has become the 4th Division and the 3rd Infantry Brigade. the brigade commander.

The US military stationed in Hamburg today is also the Fourth Division of the Third Army.

The Third Army was Patton's troops, and in the original time and space, it should have been stationed in Bavaria.

But the world moved to the north-central center with Hamburg as the core because the U.S.-occupied area, so the bravest garrison was naturally dispatched to the north.

As for the stationed in Bavaria, it became the ninth army that was not formed for a long time.

Happy New Year, William, and congratulations to you Gaosheng! Josie also responded.

When Josie arrived in Paris earlier, it was officially 1945, so this Happy New Year was just in time.

As for the reason why Josh came to see Rose for the first time, it was also very simple.

One is because he is going to live here temporarily.

Although Hamburg is the second largest city in Germany, because it is also one of the centers of heavy industry in Germany, it was the focus of the Allied forces during the previous war.

As early as before the US military entered the war, the British Air Force included Hamburg as a bombing target of the first echelon.

With the entry of the U.S. military into the war and the decline of the German Air Force, Hamburg suffered even more.

During the several years of war, the city of Hamburg was subjected to 187 air raids, and the bombings were basically mainly incendiary bombs that did great damage to the city.

So now that the war is over, there are not many completed houses in the whole of Hamburg.

After Ophelia arrived here, she also lived on a farm in the suburbs, but it was relatively remote, coupled with the turbulent social environment after the war.

Josie might as well be as safe and comfortable as living in the barracks.

Another reason is that the transport fleet jointly formed by the Chicago consortium and the council will reach Hamburg in a week at most, and Josie has to set an outpost for them.

This must require the help of people in the military. After all, now Germany is in charge of the garrison.

How long are you going to stay this time? Brigadier General Ross asked after the two took their seats.

It will take a few months anyway! Josie immediately mentioned that he was the representative of the five consortiums, and expressed the hope that the military would send some people to help.

Of course, it's not for the soldiers to do anything, just to be supervisors and maintain the law and order.

As for the labor force... Hehe, there are millions of people in the Rhine camp.

Although the U.S. military did not treat the prisoners as harshly as the later marketing account said, it did not make them any better.

Although they are not required to work, they are only provided with food of about 500 calories per capita—a normal person needs at least 1200K of energy a day even if they do not work.

Coupled with the extremely poor sanitary environment and so on.

Live better than pigs and dogs.

So just like the group of prisoners who worked for Josie in Austria, as long as they were fed enough food, they could make their lives a bit human, and a lot of people would be willing to work.

There is no need to worry about labor issues at all.

I see, but I can't control this matter! Hearing Josie say this, William Ross said.

Of course I understand that I came to you just to catch up with the past, and by the way, I will stay with you for a while. As for this matter, I will go to see General Eisenhower tomorrow to get his approval! Josh said.

Because the damage suffered by Hamburg is too serious, even if it is the second largest city, it is impossible for the headquarters of the US military in Germany to be located here.

Therefore, the high-level US military headed by Eisenhower is basically close to Hanover, another big city in the middle.

Because the city was backward in importance, and when the Allied forces attacked, the local German troops surrendered fast enough, so the damage was not serious, and it became the most complete large city in the hands of the US military.

Hearing Josh's words, Brigadier General Ross nodded, that's right, such an important matter must be discussed directly with Eisenhower.

It's a simple matter. I'll let you clean up a few military barracks for you, and you can live there first. As for your follow-up personnel, it's actually easy to solve. There are two German-built high-altitude towers in the city center, which are very large in scale and well preserved. In good condition. As long as you get General Eisenhower's consent, I can arrange one for your people to live in, and there is no problem for a few thousand people there. Brigadier General Ross said after thinking about it.

Ah, I know that kind of anti-aircraft tower, I've seen it in Vienna, it's really a good choice. Hearing Brigadier General Ross's words, Josie immediately understood what the other party was talking about.

That is the eight super anti-aircraft fortresses ordered by Moustache to be built in Hamburg, Vienna and Berlin during World War II.

When Mao Xiong invaded Berlin, he used 203 heavy artillery bombardment for more than a week, and failed to open the three fortresses in Berlin. In the end, he had to take a detour and occupied the whole of Berlin, and the three fortresses surrendered to the orders of the German high-level leaders. surrender.

In the original time and space, the British army tried to use the destruction of these fortresses to fill a cup after hearing about the suffering of the bears under the three fortresses.

Then, 25 tons of explosives were stuffed into one of the forts, and then the media of the Allied forces were invited to watch.

The result was embarrassing. 25 tons of explosives only blew off one layer of the wall of the fort.

The British lost a big face on the spot, and they certainly couldn't let it go. So four months later, they organized another blast.

This time, a full 35 tons of explosives were used, which barely blew up one of the anti-aircraft fortresses, but it only blew the fortress in half, and still not completely blown up.

Since then, no one has ever wanted to move these fortresses.

In the 21st century, these seven and a half fortresses have become popular tourist attractions in the three cities.

In this world, because there are no British people to be funny, the eight fortresses have been completely preserved.

These eight fortresses are said to be comfortable and spacious to say that each of them can accommodate thousands of people.

If you really want to squeeze it, it will be no problem to accommodate tens of thousands of people - it was originally built according to the standard of 15,000 garrison troops.

Not to mention, if you can get such a fortress as the headquarters of your own industry in Hamburg, it is not bad.

So Josie immediately came up with the idea of ​​buying two forts.

Buy? Of course, they are the property of our military now, but like other things, this also requires the approval of the headquarters! Hearing Josie's thoughts, William Ross said without hesitation.

These two fortresses were occupied by the army after the surrender of the German army, and naturally belonged to the property of the Ministry of War. There is nothing wrong with this.

As for money? Hehe, with Josie's relationship, it is completely possible to pay in installments, and then lease it to the council and the Chicago consortium in his name, collect the money, and then return it to the War Department-several consortiums have prepared so much money, it is useless.

One out and one in, Josie earned two super fortresses for nothing.
