Imperial Overlord

A British woman was trying her best to pull an iron rod out of the rubble. The picture is like the famous legendary sword in the stone, but it is a bit sad to see.

There are more people working by her side, and after the war, there will always be a long recovery process.

The citizens of London are recovering now. Whether it is North London, which is still the capital of the United Kingdom, or South London, which is a German-occupied area, they are trying their best to get out of the shadow of the war.

Whether a war is defeated or victorious, life still has to pass. So people here forget the pain and start a new life.

The British in the German occupation of South London had to get used to the new arrivals, the soldiers in black SS uniforms, and the decent-looking German officers.

Compared to the mild-mannered imagined, these German officers were not as vicious as the government advertised at the time.

Most of the garrisons were in the suburbs, with only a small number of SS troops entering the city, and checkpoints were set up at the bridgeheads of all the bridges over the Thames.

The initial time has passed, and the new border between Germany and the United Kingdom no longer allows for random travel. There are barricades, barbed wire, and slender-looking MG-42 machine guns.

However, those new occupiers are still polite, as long as they don't challenge their bottom line, they tend to be more restrained.

For example, these newly arrived "rich people" are actually very deceptive, and like to replace some small souvenirs with local people with popular products such as cigarettes.

Some dignified-looking officers also like to let their guards give candy to some children on the street.

Just like when the Germans entered Paris, France, at the beginning everyone thought the other party was not bad.

The old-fashioned British abide by their own code of conduct, they get up on time every day to resume their life and production, and begin to gradually walk out of the shadow of war.

Although after entering the era of hot weapons, the speed of human destruction will be several times faster than the speed of construction, but this does not mean that the progress of recovery is slow.

In just a dozen days, most of the destroyed houses in South London have been cleaned up, and some German construction vehicles are trying to help the locals rebuild their homes.

The majestic-looking No. 4 maintenance tank, that is, the armored maintenance vehicle with the tank turret removed and converted into a huge boom, has become a sought-after item welcomed by the locals.

German engineers and some special vehicles, even military vehicles, are very popular. Like goodwill ambassadors, they perform a variety of people-friendly tasks.

There will be a lot of kids who don't know what it is to be afraid, chasing after the truck, begging for some candy and chocolate candies.

Although supplies are still in short supply, it is much better than in a state of war. Many British ships began to join the strait transportation, because the profits obtained were really exciting.

With enough ships, the British recovered some confidence. Especially in the German occupation area, there will always be more supplies.

"The flour of the Germans is worse than what we distributed before." A man in an Italian military uniform without a collar and a designation sign complained while carrying broken bricks.

Germany doesn't have time to rush to make too many clothes and provide identification to local collaborators.

The Soviet-German war has begun, a large number of military uniforms have been transported to the Eastern Front battlefield, and more quilt factories have been transformed to produce thick clothes for winter.

In this environment, the Germans had no way to care about the surrendered Britain, so many materials were trying to make do with it.

For example, for the good citizens of the United Kingdom, or collaborators, Germany will provide clothing to prove their identity.

And these clothes are reserves from the Italian military... With these clothes, the scenery in the occupied area of ​​southern London becomes different from that of northern London.

There are always some British civilians wearing Italian military uniforms in the streets. They do not wear weapons, but they are more enviable and disgusting than wearing weapons.

As submissive submissives, these people will of course be disgusted by the commoners who are anti-German in their hearts.

Because the German occupiers have a lot of policy and intelligence, they all need the support of these collaborators. They are responsible for carrying out some orders and maintaining law and order in a small area.

However, as collaborators, they can often obtain more living materials than others, so they are indeed enviable.

It's a pity that when these Italian uniforms were issued, there were no hats like work clothes, which looked shabby and ugly.

Too bad it's a job, a job that brings food. So in a very short period of time, the job became a competitive choice.

When recruiting such collaborators, Germans tend to ask to speak German, and it would be better if they were of German origin.

In reality, getting more brown bread and adulterated flour doesn't make these men in ugly Italian uniforms shut their dissatisfied mouths.

"Okay! Your house still has brown bread anyway! Our family can only get the oatmeal porridge distributed on time. That thing is called oatmeal, but where is the oatmeal?" A man in an old suit shoveled the ruins with a shovel. While chatting.

Standing not far from them, two German soldiers with rifles on their backs were also chatting while leaning against a streetlight. They talked in German as if they were having an affair last night.

Also like Paris, France, there are gold marks where you can buy supplies, chocolates and cigarettes. Whether it is German soldiers or German officers, they are very popular in certain neighborhoods.

The night there is more beautiful than the daytime, and the women there are more enchanting than the daytime. Sometimes there will even be cars parked there and German soldiers jumping off and laughing.

Just as the French said after the Germans occupied Paris: Soon there will be hordes of German children here...

These British people worked so hard to restore their homes. Only by clearing these ruins, they can rebuild their houses here.

Not all the buildings have collapsed, and at least one-third of the houses are still there with strong perseverance.

Even some half-collapsed houses can still live in people. After the war, people's requirements are often not high.

A car staggered across the street, and the gasoline drums on it reminded people that it was time to eat again.

Petrol-flavored oatmeal filled with brown and moldy brown bread. Occasionally there are some vegetable leaves, which is definitely something that surprises those who eat it.

Feeding millions more people is not an easy task. So although Germany has lifted the blockade, Germany's own supplies are not sufficient.

Add France and Spain, and even Italy, and supplies have always been a headache, and not all countries are as rich as the United States.

There is really nothing to complain about, because everyone is not blind. They saw that many German soldiers also ate this kind of thing, the difference is that the other party may occasionally have canned and dried sausages to improve their lives.

Potatoes and bean soup were almost always the main theme of German soldiers' food in the real World War II.

Being able to eat a hearty dinner is definitely a great way to boost morale. As the war became more and more unfavorable, sumptuous dinners became more and more rare.

Now, Germany is still on the rise. After defeating Britain, France, the Netherlands and Belgium still have large tracts of farmland to use.

But these still have to wait for a while, the millet and wheat have just been sown, and the bumper harvest will not be until July.

This time it seems to be a little different, and behind the truck, there is also a classic German barrel car.

Citizens in southern London can see such cars every day, and the thin doors still look a little rusty, and they look rustic.

Compared with the cars that used to run in the streets of London, the Germans were stupid, as shabby as the outdated agricultural vehicles.

No way, Marshal Liszt's Mercedes-Benz, with its wide body and full body, couldn't show its presence in front of thousands of German barrel trucks.

Of course, this is also related to the increasingly simplified production process of German barrel trucks under the order of the head of state.

The German equipment of the past was not like this, it was more like a piece of art. It's a pity that those boutiques are now rare, replaced by the ultimate, simplified versions that are cheap.

The barrel cart staggered to the side of the street, and the wooden door looked crooked like a farm gate.

The German officer pushed open the crooked wooden car door~www.wuxiaspot.com~ jumped out of the car and raised his head with his hands behind his back, looking at the British citizen at work.

The two German soldiers who had been standing beside the ruins had already stood at attention beside the car. They raised their arms to the officer in the German salute.

"The weather is good today... Unlike yesterday, it rained all day, which broke my mood." The German officer teased the weather, took off his gloves and held them in his hands.

"Call the person in charge here." Then he talked about the topic. After all, he still had to run two or three streets, and the time was a little tight.

"Hey! John! Come here!" a German soldier turned to his side and shouted to the man who had just complained about bad bread in the distance.

So, the man in the Italian military uniform dropped his work, patted on his body, and quickly ran down the pile of ruins and stood in front of the German officer.

"Victory! Führer!" He saluted in standard German, raised his arms at the same time, and stood at attention with a salute——
