Chapter 855

The officer did not know who he would be the first to die in such a shady deal, but it was certain that he would never be the last. Wei? Colonel Gino was hanged under the flag by internal SS pickets for smuggling diamonds. But before he came as a replacement, he had been asked to continue the trade.

He took an oath under the national flag. He once felt that he would spend his life following the great head of state of his country. But now, instead of going to the battlefield according to his original ideal, he became an officer in charge of contacting North Africa for the sake of his motherland. He was forced to bring precious diamonds or gold back to Germany from Africa for the wives of numerous dignitaries.

He can't refuse at all. Most of the people who come to him are small minions. Behind the people who are represented in China, there are still more important people. On top of the important people, there are also adult wei'ao's novels? What are you doing? What's the difference? Fan huanke? Lingling? hard? Zhu Qian? What's the point? What are you looking for? Californium? What's going on? What's the difference? What's the point?

Not to mention such a small Colonel, even Heidrich of the SS or brauchich of the IDF, when facing these huge things, he will inevitably feel a little timid. As for the head of state he vowed to be loyal to, it is estimated that he will not be upset with so many people because of such a small matter.

As a matter of fact, most of these transactions are not carried out on the books. As long as the North African Army slightly changes a number when counting the captured enemy's equipment, a few dice sized diamonds will enter the pockets of the high officials and dignitaries, which has little damage to the interests of the Empire, but can let countless people have gifts for their mistresses.

No one will remember that unfortunate Wei? Colonel Gino's death was not due to his involvement in diamond smuggling, but to his attempt to intercept and monopolize diamonds. No one will acquiesce in this kind of thing. Big people can tolerate their greedy subordinates, but they will not allow their subordinates to threaten their greedy channels.

Because of this, Wei? With the death of Colonel Gino, he could take over such an attractive business. And Colonel kilwell is not a free agent. His backstage is Elvin, the commander-in-chief of the African legion, the German Italian allied forces, which are powerful in North Africa? Marshal Rommel.

That's why he dares to be unscrupulous, that's why he dares to be so blatant, that's why he can't wait, that's why he just said, "I want 20 of those worthless handicrafts you mentioned! A lot of people are waiting, understand? " That's a good sentence.

Because he knows that these 20 diamonds are not what little people or minions ask for. One of them is Elvin? Marshal Rommel is the wife of the head of state, the first lady of the Empire, Mercedes? Cassia's birthday present; Gustav? Krupp's wedding anniversary gift for his wife; Another one is for the emperor Augustus, the Prime Minister of the Empire, and is used as an ornament on his walking stick.

"No problem! Mr. Colonel! I am very happy to exchange these things for your friendship! God bless you! May our friendship last forever. " General verkuman said with a smile as he motioned to his men to bring the diamond to the German colonel.

With a single order, countless black people began to carry bundles of crude rubber onto German trucks. These materials were all waiting consumables in Germany. Cars, ships, airplanes, and almost no modern industrial products could leave rubber. In 1939, when the production of artificial rubber was insufficient, there was a shortage of rubber, The reserve of natural rubber is still a very important industrial link.

Although Germany started mass production of synthetic rubber with Faber, a chemical giant, before 1927, it has not been able to completely replace natural rubber due to limited production capacity and technical defects.

Because the German Navy has gained power in the Atlantic Ocean, Germany can import a large amount of rubber from far South America. However, due to the interference of the US Navy and the British navy, the German Navy has no ability to use the aircraft carrier fleet for long-distance escort, so this rubber supply line can not fully meet the needs of Germany.

Because of this, Germany began to seek to replenish its much-needed rubber in Africa, which is also the fundamental reason for supporting the African agent general verkuman. On the other hand, Germany hopes to use Africans to fight or produce for itself, but now it seems that the effect of such efforts is very limited.

The Germans hired or sold 20000 African blacks, hoping to make up for the shortage of labor force and create a precedent for mercenary fighting. However, after a series of experiments, the German army and the German government found that these ancient African Aborigines were really unusable.

These black people are loose and have strange beliefs. They are ugly and barbaric. Most of them don't even know how to speak. Therefore, the upper class in Germany is not willing to accept these Africans as servants. Because of their limited knowledge, they could not engage in industrial production, and the Germans could not let them join in the industrial production.

All these reasons lead these black people to work as porters and coolies in Germany. They are either distributed to the front line as consumables or serve in ports and docks. They are not serious labor at all. They have to send many Germans to detain these strange black people.

The German attempt to make up for human resources failed completely, but they got unexpected returns on rubber and natural resources. In the eyes of the local people, these rubber products are not as valuable as those advanced weapons, because with weapons and advanced tactics, they can plunder more useful things. Because of different beliefs or some trivial things that happened one day, the attacks among different tribes have never stopped since the birth of civilization. Because of their own needs, the great powers did not interfere too much with these ancient African tribes. They did not have the modern economic plunder system of Germany, Therefore, we did not let these ancient lands radiate their due vitality. The emerging capitalists in Germany are different. They are more used to and more adapted to the brutal capital plunder under the shadow of economic assistance. They take away the oil, rubber, gold and gems they need, leaving behind the railways, the booming cities and a huge dumping market. Compared with the plunder of red fruits in the colonies, this economic development model from 50 years later has its incomparable advantages. It aims to help the local economy to revitalize, create markets and get raw materials at the same time; And then put the products back into the market created by ourselves to gain profits or international reputation. The difference is that after 2000, everyone has become a lot smarter. At the same time, the advanced countries have to provide loans and other conditions to buy people's hearts in order to get the support of the local government. In 1939, akado put forward such a model and immediately made the local people regard the German as their best friend. Arms? In the hands of the invincible army of the Third Reich, Mauser rifles, mg42 machine guns, and even tanks and armored vehicles can be provided! Need daily necessities? There are all kinds of daily necessities, which are enough for the general of Africa to improve the living standard of his tribe! What are you dissatisfied with? The money is not enough? Easy to do! Oil, rubber, wood, minerals, gems, gold... These can be used as exchange items! German African family, are there any trees? Germany's efforts to help African friends? Hundreds of tons of rubber were handed over to the German SS, even without a signed contract. After leaving guns, ammunition and some gasoline, the Germans left as fast as they did when they came. Many people saw the heads built up by the roadside and felt that there was a strange smell of plague in the air“ We will provide you with the tanks and armored vehicles you want, together with five of our battlefield observers. If they think it is necessary, we can even provide more ammunition and even send out planes to help you eliminate your enemies. " Before going back to his car, Colonel kilwell said to the black general opposite him, "thank you for your local products. I think my boss will like them very much."“ My men will be waiting here, and more than 400 of the tribe's bravest fighters will defend this trading post. " General furkuman said with a smile, then took a diamond about the size of a carat from his assistant and put it into Colonel kilwell's hands: "we are friends! I hope to see you again, Mr. kilwell Who knows if it's right or wrong to be here? Who knows if he will live to come here next time to exchange goods with these black people? With a helpless smile, Colonel kilwell broke away his strange thoughts and said goodbye with a smile: "goodbye, my friend. If you are interested in coming to Cairo, I will treat you to drink the best wine in Cairo." Looking at the far away car, a black man came up behind general verkuman and asked in a low voice, "general, why don't we cooperate with the Americans? They seem to offer more. As long as we annihilate this convoy, the Americans will provide us with more arms and supplies. " General furkuman didn't speak, just sneered, and then his assistant shot and killed the man who came up to persuade him. Just as general furkuman killed his men, not far behind the dense forest, three German Odin armed helicopters began to climb slowly. He opened his mouth to the corpse on the ground who could not hear him, with a trace of sarcasm in his tone: "Americans give more, but they have to have their lives to take it."
