Mid-September 1944, on the outskirts of Vienna.

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

A large-scale army is marching majestically on the road.

It's just that this majestic army is not an allied army, but a captured Hydra Corps.

Allied soldiers marching in cars and armored vehicles and tanks on both sides of the road looked at this imposing legion, and for a while they doubted who was the defeated party.

Look at these guys, even if they are defeated, they still march with arrogance! McGinnis said to Josh who was sitting in the back seat while sitting in the co-pilot of the jeep.

It is a matter of habit for U.S. military officers to like to sit in the co-pilot, so there is no such thing as a statement about the status of the front and rear seats in the general officialdom.

Josie and his party took a plane with General McGinnis to the field airport on the outskirts of Vienna, and then escorted by the guards, they were going to Vienna.

On the way, I happened to meet such a group of prisoners of the Hydra Corps of about 100,000 people being escorted by the Allies.

Have the Allies thought about what to do with these prisoners of war? Josie asked thoughtfully, looking at the army.

Of course, according to General Eisenhower's order, these prisoners will first be screened out by the newly established Austrian Provisional Government, and the rest will be sent to the Rhine Camp. General McGinnis said casually, What? You right? Are these people interested?

Of course I'm interested. Such a well-trained and well-ordered team will be a very good factory workforce, right? Josie said with a slight smile.

Hahahahaha, it's a classic speech by capitalists, but I like it. If you really want it, I will say hello to the following when I look back. Although it is impossible for you to take all of them away, there is no problem with half of them. It's just that This is tens of thousands of people, can you handle it? Don't make trouble! General McGinnis asked.

In fact, for these U.S. troops, whether it is a German prisoner or a Hydra prisoner, it doesn't really matter. Whether they stay or not is just a word from the senior generals.

Although the two sides fought quite badly, except for some Jews, there was not much hatred for the Germans, and it was true that it was a drag.

Before Josie crossed, she had seen such an article on the Internet.

It is said that the Rhine camp built by the US military held nearly 5 million prisoners, and 750,000 died in just three months.

Because the articles there are well written and there are all kinds of citation data, many people really believe it.

But how did this 750,000 figure come from?

From a 1989 book by Canadian author James Buckcher, Other Derogations: The Shocking Truth Behind the Mass Death of German Soldiers Disarmed by General Eisenhower.

And who is James Bakcher? Not a statistician or a historian, just a Canadian novelist.

As soon as this book was published, it immediately caused a lot of uproar in the field of Western World War II history.

Immediately many historians pointed out the problems in this book.

That is, this Bakche counted those who were released into the death toll, so the actual death toll was only tens of thousands.

War is a war, but many times, the Germans who are rich and related will naturally find ways to spend money to redeem their family members.

There are also many capitalists who will need cheap labor during the occupation.

Therefore, the hundreds of thousands of prisoners who disappeared inexplicably were actually released by the U.S. military through employment and redemption.

Just like what Josh is doing now.

For the U.S. military, this can not only reduce supply pressure, but also generate revenue, why not do it?

It is not only the United States that has been falsified by the data, but also the situation on the Maoxiong side.

Various marketing accounts on the Internet rumored that Mao Bear captured 4 million German troops, of which 2 million died in Siberia.

But in fact?

In fact, nearly half of the nearly four million people are the armies of those servant countries. After the war, most of these armies have undergone a period of labor reform, and in order to appease those countries, they are basically released or adapted into their own countries. army.

The remaining two million German and Austrian nationals were not released easily. They were imprisoned for many years as laborers. Although a lot of people died, it is far from possible to have such an exaggerated figure of two million.

And the good ones added the two million figures released in advance to the death toll with a stroke of a pen to discredit the bear.

The really reliable data is actually calculated by the German official itself, that is, among the prisoners who surrendered after the war, only 400,000-500,000 died due to various normal reasons and did not return to the country, and only 300,000 died in Eastern Europe. More than 100,000, and more than 100,000 died in Western Europe.

Most of the more than 100,000 people in Western Europe did not die in the hands of Americans, but in the hands of France, Belgium, and the Netherlands, which were brutally abused by Germany during World War II.

Of course it can be done, but it will take some time. Before that, you have to lend me some of your generals! Josie said with a smile.

It is naturally difficult for ordinary people to get tens of thousands of people without causing trouble, but for Josie, it is really not a big problem.

As long as those middle and senior officers with high prestige are selected from the prisoners of war and sent to Yuri for training for a period of time, everything will be done.

The only problem may be the station, but I believe Ms. Ophelia will solve this matter for me, right? Josie looked at Ophelia next to her and asked.

Of course, Mr. Kahn, it's an honor to be an ally! Ophelia replied with a smile.

McGinnis watched the two sing one another and clearly felt that the relationship between the two had changed a lot.

But he just shrugged and didn't take it seriously, young man... It's normal to have some problems.

In just such a few words, the whereabouts of tens of thousands of prisoners of war were decided by Josie and McGinnis.

While speaking, their motorcade also slowly drove into Vienna.

As soon as he entered this music capital, Beethoven's symphony sounded in Josie's ears... Well, it wasn't an illusion, but there were seven or eight artists in tuxedos playing by the road not far away.

Where is the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts? Josie suddenly asked Ophelia looking at the performers.

Uh, right in the city center! Ophelia was stunned for a moment, and then replied, not understanding why Josie suddenly asked this.

Why, Josie, are you also interested in art? General McGinnis also turned his head and asked with great interest.

Oh, no, I just think that the Vienna Academy of Arts may be half responsible for this world war! Josie teased.

This stalk, which will be very popular on the Internet in the future, is far from being mentioned in this era.

So when they heard Josie's words, both of them were at a loss, and the officer who was driving the car also listened subconsciously.

So Josie smiled slightly and told the source of this stalk.

Suddenly, General McGinnis's laughter came from the jeep.

One more chapter will be late
