Chapter 93 Prisoners of War
Mid-September 1944, outside Vienna.
Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow!
A large army is marching majesticly on the road.
It's just that this majestic army is not an allied force, but a prisoner of the Hydra Legion.
The Allied soldiers marching in cars, armored vehicles and tanks on both sides of the road looked at the soaring army and for a moment they even doubted who was the defeated party.
"Look at these guys, even if they are defeated, they are still marching with arrogance!" McGinnis was sitting in the passenger seat of the Jeep and said to Josie sitting in the back seat while swaying.
It is a matter of habit that US military officers like to sit in the co-pilot position, so there is no such thing as a distinction between the status of the front and rear seats in official circles.
Qiao Xi and his party took a plane with General McGinnis to the battlefield airport outside Vienna, and then were escorted by the guards to prepare for the city of Vienna.
On the way, they happened to encounter a group of about 100,000 Hydra captives escorted by the Allied forces.
"Have the Allies thought about how to deal with these prisoners of war?" Qiao Xi looked at the legion and asked thoughtfully.
"Of course, according to General Eisenhower's order, these prisoners will first be screened out as Austrians by the newly established Austrian Provisional Government, and the rest will be sent to the Rhine Camp." General McGinnis said casually, "What? What do you think?
Are these people interested?"
"Of course I'm interested. Such a well-trained and orderly team will be a very good factory workforce, right?" Qiao Xi said with a slight smile.
"Hahahahaha, it's really a classic speech of a capitalist, but I like it. If you really want it, I will say hello to you later. Although it is impossible for you to take them all away, there is no problem with half of it.
These are tens of thousands of people, can you handle it? Don't cause trouble!" General McGinnis asked.
In fact, for these US troops, it doesn't matter whether they are German prisoners or Hydra prisoners. Whether they stay or go is just a word from the senior generals.
Although the fight between the two sides was quite brutal, except for some Jews, there was not much hatred towards the Germans, so it was true that they were a drag.
Before Qiao Xi traveled through time, he had seen such an article on the Internet.
It is said that the Rhine Camp built by the US military held nearly five million prisoners, and 750,000 died in just three months.
Because the article there was well-written and had various cited data, many people really believed it.
But where did this number of 750,000 actually come from?
It comes from the book "Other Derogations: The Shocking Truth Behind the Mass Death of German Soldiers Disarmed Under General Eisenhower's Order" published by Canadian author James Bacher in 1989.
And who is James Bachchan? He is not a statistician or a historian, he is just a Canadian.
As soon as this book was published, it immediately caused an uproar in the field of Western World War II history.
Immediately, many historians pointed out problems in this book.
That is, Bachchi included those who were released into the death toll, so the actual death toll was only tens of thousands.
A war is a war, but in many cases, people still cannot escape favors. Germans with money and connections will naturally find ways to spend money to redeem their families.
There were also many capitalists who needed cheap labor during the occupation.
Therefore, the hundreds of thousands of prisoners who disappeared inexplicably were actually released by the US military through employment, redemption, etc.
Just like what Josie is doing now.
For the US military, this can not only reduce supply pressure but also generate revenue. Why not?
It’s not just the United States that has had its data falsified, the situation is also the same with the furry bears.
Various marketing accounts on the Internet rumored that the bears captured four million German troops, of whom two million died in Siberia.
But what is the reality?
In fact, nearly half of these nearly four million people are the armies of the slave countries. After the war, most of these armies went through a period of labor reform. In order to appease the joining countries, they were basically released or adapted into their own joining countries.
The army.
The remaining two million German and Austrian citizens were not easily released and were imprisoned for many more years as laborers. Although many died, it is far from being as exaggerated as two million.
And the bad guys added the two million figure that had been released in advance to the death toll with a stroke of a pen to discredit Mao Xiong.
The more reliable data is actually calculated by German officials themselves, which is that among the prisoners who surrendered after the war, only 400,000 to 500,000 died due to various normal reasons and did not return home, of which only 300,000 died in Eastern Europe.
tens of thousands, and more than 100,000 died in Western Europe.
Most of the more than 100,000 people in Western Europe died not at the hands of Americans, but at the hands of France, Belgium, and the Netherlands, which were brutally tortured by Germany in World War II.
"Of course it can be done, but it will take some time. Before that, General, I need you to lend me some manpower!" Qiao Xi said with a smile.
It would be extremely difficult for ordinary people to handle tens of thousands of people without causing trouble, but for Qiao Xi, it was really not a big problem.
As long as we select those mid- to high-level officers with high enough prestige among the prisoners of war and send them to Yuri for "training" for a period of time, everything will be settled.
"The only problem may be the location, but I believe Ms. Ophelia will solve this matter for me, right?" Josie asked, looking at Ophelia beside her.
"Of course, Mr. Kahn, it's an honor to be an ally!" Ophelia replied with a smile.
McGinnis watched the two singing and singing, and clearly felt that the relationship between the two had changed a lot.
But he just shrugged and didn't take it seriously. For young people... it's normal to have some problems.
In just a few words like this, the whereabouts of tens of thousands of prisoners of war were decided by Josie and McGinnis.
While they were talking, their motorcade slowly drove into Vienna.
As soon as he entered this music city, Beethoven's symphony sounded in Qiao Xi's ears... Well, it was not an illusion, but there were really seven or eight artists in tuxedos playing on the roadside not far away.
"Where is the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna?" Looking at these performers, Josie suddenly asked Ophelia.
"Um, right in the city center!" Ophelia was stunned for a moment, and then replied, somewhat confused as to why Josie suddenly asked this.
"Why, Josie, are you also interested in art?" General McGinnis turned around and asked with interest.
"Oh, no, I just think that the Vienna Academy of Arts may bear half of the responsibility for this world war!" Qiao Xi said with a teasing look.
This meme, which will be very popular on the Internet in the future, is far from being mentioned in this era.
So when they heard Qiao Xi's words, both of them were confused, and the officer driving the car also subconsciously listened attentively.
So Qiao Xi smiled slightly and told the source of this joke.
Suddenly, General McGinnis' laughter came from the jeep.
