Munich, Germany, headquarters of the Workers' Party.

Anne is very careful today. The economic crisis that broke out in the United States has begun to have an impact on Germany. A promised aid did not arrive at the scheduled time. This made the leader of the Workers' Party, Mustache, very angry. Just yesterday, Mustache was furious in the office.

, not only threw the cup, but also yelled at his secretary. Therefore, in the past two days, the staff at the Workers' Party headquarters were careful to avoid making mistakes at work, lest they incur the wrath of Mustache.

To be fair, Anne was a loyal supporter of the mustache. When the mustache was released from prison, the scene where everyone burst into tears was faithfully recorded by German newspapers.

Since then, Anne has been attracted by the personal charm of the mustache, so she joined the Workers' Party and became a follower of the mustache.

"The Americans are so abominable. Why should we pay for the mistakes they have made?" Anne's colleague Josephine is also a follower of the mustache. Josephine's husband also works at the Workers' Party headquarters and is a worker.

The entourage of Party Propaganda Minister Hermann Göring was better informed than the average person.

“Josephine, it’s not what you think. Americans don’t want to see an economic crisis break out.” Anne couldn’t help but defend the Americans. Although the United States and Germany were enemies during the World War, Anne did not hate the Americans.

Compared with the United States, Anne hated the French and the British more. After all, the United States maintained a good relationship with Germany before the war, and after the war it also gave Germany the help it could, just like southern Africa.

 The source of Germany's pain is France and England, which Anne clearly loves and hates.

 When it comes to southern Africa, Anne's feelings are more complicated.

There is no doubt that Southern Africa was one of the main factors in Germany's defeat. However, the strange thing is that many Germans do not hate Southern Africa. Instead, they have an inexplicable favorable impression of Southern Africa. This is probably due to the fact that during the World War, Southern Africa did not

No harm was inflicted on the Germans outside of the war. After the war, southern Africa even gave Germany greater aid than the United States, which many Germans really couldn't hate.

Ludendorff once said after the war: The Southern African Expeditionary Force is the most ferocious and civilized enemy.

"In any case, Americans should not stop aid to us. Those aids are to atone for the crimes they committed during the World War. Fortunately, we still have southern Africa. A ship will arrive in Bremen today, full of goods."

We should report the good news about the luncheon meat in southern Africa in time." Josephine was beaming. Canned southern African luncheon meat is very popular in Germany, especially luncheon meat. If a box of luncheon meat appears on the table of an ordinary family, it will

Keep family members happy all day long.

 Yes, the happiness of ordinary people is that simple.

The reason why the Workers' Party's support rate increased so quickly has a lot to do with the support in southern Africa. After Goering visited southern Africa, he received loans from southern Africa. These loans turned into various material resources and continued to come to Germany, becoming

A powerful weapon for the German Workers' Party to gain support.

Of course, what makes the top leaders of the Workers' Party regretful is that the support rate for the Workers' Party in southern Africa is far less than the support rate for Krupp. Krupp is using the loans it obtained from southern Africa to push Germany to rebuild its industrial base. Bavaria, where Munich is located,

The state also benefits from this.

The good news is that Krupp has an excellent relationship with the Workers' Party. Krupp needs the Workers' Party to increase the support of the Juncker Group at the bottom of society; the Workers' Party also needs Krupp to get rid of the Weimar government's control of the Workers' Party.

limit.

 After being released from prison, Mustache expressed his loyalty to President Hindenburg in person, and then was qualified for limited social activities. To this day, Mustache is still unable to speak in public.

“Unless Southern Africa doesn’t charge money, that’s good news.” Anne was also helpless. The lunch meat in Southern Africa actually doesn’t taste good. It has too much starch and fat, has a bad taste, and will make you tired if you eat too much, etc.

But in 1927, this was actually not a disadvantage. Although there was a little more starch, it was cheaper, and oil could provide more fat for the nutritionally deficient Germans. In any case, for the children in Germany who were desperate to be fed

, luncheon meat is much better than kale and potatoes.

  In any respect.

"Southern Africans are not stupid, nor are they philanthropists. I hope that the economic crisis will be more severe, so that we can purchase supplies from southern Africa at a cheaper price." Josephine has a latest quotation in her hand, which is universal and

In other words, the prices of all commodities have dropped to a certain extent compared with before the economic crisis.

 This is a quote from Southern Africa.

 The quotations from the United States are just the opposite. Instead of falling, prices have risen sharply.

This is actually not difficult to understand. For capitalists, they don’t care about the impact of the economic crisis on the country and society. Profit is the only factor that they should pay attention to.

In other words, even if the sky falls and the earth falls, the profits of capitalists must be guaranteed. If orders are reduced, prices will rise and the supply of goods will be reduced. Then some workers can be laid off. As for those unemployed workers

Who cares.

This is just like war. Why are those war madmen so keen on waging war?

Because they are located far away from the front line, even if a war breaks out, it is often ordinary people who fight for the country, but they often have little impact on the decision-makers who launch the war.

This can also explain why after the invention of nuclear weapons, the probability of war between nuclear powers has been greatly reduced.

 Everyone is equal before a nuclear bomb. If one missile hits half the city, it will wipe out half the city. The safety of the initiator of the war will also be greatly threatened, so

 Anne did not comment on Josephine's lofty remarks.

 At this time, the working hours in the morning were over. Anne packed her things, got off work, and went home to cook for her two children.

 In Germany in 1927, the unemployment rate was still astonishingly high, inflation was severe, and trillions of Mark banknotes had already become a reality. You may not believe it, but the strongest currency on the German black market is the rand.

At present, Germany's legal currency is still the mark, but the mark is depreciating too fast. When you go out in the morning, one trillion marks may still buy one kilogram of bread, but when you get off work in the evening, one trillion marks can only buy 700 grams.

  Relatively speaking, the currency value of foreign currencies headed by the rand is very strong. On the German black market, one rand can now be exchanged for 150 trillion marks.

  150 trillion, this unit sounds magical!

 Anne had a rand with her, which was half a month's food expenses for Anne's family.

 When passing by the street corner, Annie wrapped herself in a khaki trench coat that was not old and walked quickly without looking at the workers at the corner holding shovels in their hands.

These workers with shovels in their hands are temporary workers who usually gather on the street waiting for job opportunities.

 If an employer appears, a large group of workers will rush over, surround the employer, and try to introduce themselves in enthusiastic terms in the hope of getting a job.

These jobs are usually temporary jobs. One morning or one afternoon, the reward is a few breads or some vegetables. Although the value is not high, it is always better than nothing. Many German families rely on such temporary jobs to make ends meet.

maintain.

The khaki windbreaker that Anne is wearing comes from southern Africa. It is made of wool and has a military style. It makes you energetic after wearing it, and it is durable and warm. This style of clothing has been very popular in Germany in recent years. Anne is a worker because

Only when you work at the party headquarters can you have the opportunity to buy at a relatively low price.

There are not many products on the store shelves. The labels of most of the products clearly indicate that they are produced in southern Africa. Although luncheon meat is expensive, Annie gritted her teeth and bought a box. In the current economic crisis, prices vary every day.

Anne is not sure whether the price of luncheon meat will become unattainable tomorrow.

“Madam, the total is 35 trillion.” The shopkeeper’s words are very easy to convince people. A box of lunch meat, some vegetables, and a kilogram of bread are worth 35 trillion. It feels like he can buy the whole world.

 “Why is it so expensive?” Annie did the math and felt quite distressed. 35 trillion was more than two days of living expenses for Annie’s family.

 The shop owner smiled helplessly, his embarrassment mixed with bitterness. The price of goods was indeed the same every day, and there was nothing the shop owner could do.

 “Can I pay in rands?” Anne gritted her teeth and decided to pay.

“It would be great if it’s Rand, I can give you a discount. I’m really sorry, the purchase price has been rising, and I don’t want that,” the shopkeeper muttered, and the quoted price made Anne feel pleasantly surprised.

  Walking out of the store and looking at the pale sun in the sky, Anne only felt sad in her heart.

 When she got home, Anne was pleasantly surprised to find that her husband, who was serving in the National Defense Force, was playing games with their two children.

“Why are you back? Do you have a day off today?” Anne was very happy. She greeted her husband with a smile and gave her husband a warm hug and a sweet kiss.

 After the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, Germany was only allowed to retain 100,000 Wehrmacht troops, and was not allowed to develop heavy weapons such as heavy machine guns.

 Those who can still serve in the Wehrmacht are all German military elites.

  Interestingly, the Treaty of Versailles has not been strictly implemented. Now Germany can secretly train troops in Russia and test various weapons such as tanks and aircraft that were expressly prohibited in the Treaty of Versailles.

“Yes, today is a day off. I brought back some canned food and luncheon meat from the army. You have to work with your children, thank you.” Anne and her husband have a very good relationship, and their two children are the fruit of love in this small family.

“God, you should have told me earlier, then I wouldn’t buy luncheon meat anymore,” Annie complained happily. Just now, she thought she would reduce her spending in the next few days.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine." Anne's husband smiled. Although it was a difficult time, the treatment of military members could still be guaranteed.
