Chapter 117 Rhine Camp

   Stayed in the barracks for one night, and early the next morning, Josie rushed to Hanover with his people to meet Eisenhower.

  The whole process was also very smooth.

  If Josie only represented himself, Eisenhower would definitely not agree to the large-scale call of prisoners from the Rhine Camp.

  Because after World War II, he was the one who ordered the establishment of the Rhine Camp and prohibited all prisoners of war from contacting the outside world.

  And with Eisenhower's status, there is no need to sell Josie's face at all.

  But now behind Josie are the five largest consortiums in the United States, and the situation is completely different.

  Eisenhower was a soldier, but he was also a politician with high political sensitivity, otherwise he would not have become president later, so he knew very well what this meant.

Therefore, after confirming the authenticity of the series of authorized documents held by Josie, he decisively issued a series of documents and passes to Josie in the name of the commander-in-chief of the European theater, and even gave Josie the ability to transfer The right to troops below the regiment level, and specially dispatched several officers from the logistics department to cooperate with Josie.

   This is the charm of the capital consortium.

   Of course, that is because the commander-in-chief of the European theater is Eisenhower.

If it was the Emperor Mai on the Pacific battlefield, the situation might be different. He was too conceited and arrogant. He won a fight with a foot pot chicken, so he didn't know his last name, and he didn't take anyone seriously at all. inside.

  If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have stumbled so hard in his later years.

Josie, who received the "imperial approval" from Eisenhower, the supreme commander of the US military in Europe, was not polite, and immediately borrowed a transport reinforcement battalion from Brigadier General Ross, and also specially asked for a few sets of field rain equipment, and transported clothes, food, and soap. Go to the Rhine camp to pull people.

  Although Josie hasn't gone to the Rhine Camp to see the situation there, Ophelia has already learned about it.

The environment there is not generally bad. The captives who were locked in had no other clothes to change except for the clothes they had on when they entered. Moreover, although the camp is close to the Rhine River, it is absolutely forbidden for the guarding US troops to enter the camp. The personnel walked out of the barracks, so there was not enough water in the camp, and it was impossible to change or wash.

  The only thing that is better than the original time and space is that the captives in the current Rhine camp still live in temporary houses instead of directly living in the open air.

  Because the original space-time Rhine Camp was built in April, the weather in Germany was already very mild, even hot, so the U.S. military didn’t even build a barracks for them.

   Now, the war is over before winter, and the temperature is very low. Naturally, it is impossible to let the prisoners live in the open air, otherwise they will all freeze to death.

   But that's about it, everything else is as bad as it could be.

  Since Josie wants to pull people, he certainly can't just pull back a group of people who are as dirty as beggars.

  And his first goal is not the men's camp, but the women's camp.

  Yes, the Rhine River Camp is actually not only male prisoners of war, or even soldiers.

  It also includes civilians who have spontaneously fought against the U.S. military, government civilians, Nasha party members, female aides of the National Defense Forces, hospital staff, etc., but their relative number is not as large as that of military prisoners of war.

  The reason why she came to the women's camp first is not because Josie wants to provide any special services, but for the upcoming American personnel, what they need most is the guarantee of life.

  So sanitation, medical care, and kitchen staff are the most important, and these tasks are obviously more suitable for women.

  Besides, women in this era are obedient and don't make trouble easily.

  As for the engineers, porters and other personnel needed in the later stage, after the transport team arrives, let the American employees come and pick them up. You can’t let Josie do everything, otherwise, what do you want those employees to do?

  The transportation battalion soon came to one of the large camps, which was also the only female camp among all the Rhine camps.

   After all, all the captives are mainly men, and women are relatively small.

   But this small number is only relative to the huge number of men. The actual number is still more than 100,000.

   After verifying the documents, the transport team drove into the camp.

   Soon the U.S. military officer stationed in the camp came out with someone, a colonel head.

"Excuse me, Colonel Ward, there are five vehicles of supplies, which are condolences to your group, and you need to arrange for someone to carry and distribute them." Although Josie's status is extraordinary, one colonel can be ignored .

  But he understands what is called sophistication, so when he is outside, even if the other party is just an ordinary soldier, Josie will be very approachable.

   And for things like this that require the cooperation of the other party, Josie will also specially prepare some small gifts.

   Anyway, it doesn't cost much, and you can get the other party's gratitude, so why not do it?

  Colonel Ward was indeed a little dissatisfied with Josie's arrival of people at the beginning.

  As the garrison officer of the women's battalion, his life during this period can be said to be more emperor than the emperor.

  As long as he wants, any female prisoner will appear in his barracks at night.

  If it weren't for the influence of scruples, he would have no problem throwing a big party in his barracks.

   And what Josie did was to **** food from his bowl.

  The number of people Josie wants is not many, only 2,000 people.

   But the requirements are not low.

  18-40 female prisoners, and require medical care, clerical, health personnel, in addition to some cultural and educational personnel who can be interpreters.

   These are the essence of female prisoners—after all, most urban women are capable of these jobs.

  However, Colonel Ward's dissatisfaction disappeared immediately when he heard that Josie had specially sent five cars of condolence supplies to their regiment.

   Especially when he saw the fresh vegetables, fruits, cigarettes and even several boxes of wine that the soldiers moved out of the vehicles, Colonel Ward was even more delighted.

   "Mr. Kahn is so kind, we will definitely help you screen and meet your needs!" Colonel Ward shook hands with Josie very enthusiastically.

  It is winter now, and fresh vegetables and fruits are hard to come by, even for the U.S. military, which has plenty of supplies. The most common logistics is to prepare some canned fruits for them.

   Not to mention wine, the war has just ended, and the food in the world is not abundant, so wine is a luxury wherever it is placed.

  As for cigarettes, although each soldier will have seven packs every week, in Germany now, cigarettes have become a hard currency that is better than money, and no one will think too much.

   For the US troops stationed here, any of these supplies is more valuable than the female prisoners in the barracks.

   "Ophelia, I leave it to you. After picking people, take them to the river to wash them, and then send out clothes!" Josie nodded, and then gave instructions to Ophelia beside her.

  In addition to the transport reinforcement camp that was borrowed, Ophelia also brought a group of people, mainly doctors and nurses.

  Even if it is free labor, Josie only needs to be healthy, so why should the sick come?

   It's not that Josie is cold-blooded, but that in this era, human life is so worthless.

  Especially as the Germans of the defeated country, Josie has no position to sympathize with them, and does not want to be that alien.

  Ophelia nodded, and then, with the cooperation of the camp garrison, she began to select people, and at the same time began to let people build field shower equipment and start boiling water.

  And Josie and Colonel Ward sat down at the table under the eaves of the barracks not far away, drinking wine and smoking cigars and chatting, while watching this alternative "draft".

   Especially when the selected female prisoners take off their clothes and walk into the shower tent, that scene... tsk tsk.

   It was this kind of scene that made Josie realize why, in history, prisons and prisoner-of-war camps in various countries are the most prone to scandals.

  In such an environment where one can easily grasp everything about others, it is indeed not an easy task to be able to grasp one's own humanity.
