Chapter 304 Occupation and Occupation

The morning mist enveloped the sky, and the roar of cars came from the mist on the highway. From a very weak sound like a bug, it gradually converged into a huge roar. The road trembled slightly. Long queues of trucks passed through the fog and appeared more and more clearly on the road, like a long snake crawling on the winding road.

The brothers of Company E will arrive in their designated area this afternoon - the Ruhr mining area in Germany. The 101st Airborne Division will be stationed on the west bank of the Rhine River, and they will face the Dusselaf region. The second battalion will support Stolseberg in the north of the defense zone to Wolingen and other places in the south. On their right is the 82nd Airborne Division, and they are facing Cologne.

Captain Heiliger arranged platoons to set up outposts along the Rhine River, and the officers and soldiers of the whole second battalion were scattered in the houses of the nearby small villages. This is the requirement of the division. In fact, the whole U.S. military has been like this since it entered the German region. They often inform German residents to requisition their houses more than ten minutes ago. And often these German residents will be caught off guard.

In these homes, they will find hot and cold water, electric lights, comfortable toilets and toilet paper, and coal burning stoves without exception. Webster once recorded his life during this period: "In the army, it is extremely exciting to be able to return to your home after the defense. We opened the door and threw the hostile darkness behind us. The room is covered with anti-aircraft curtains, and the lights are flashing. We hung the rifle on the coat rack and shook off the water on the raincoat. The leisurely chat comes from the kitchen, which makes people feel warm and stable. A pot of coffee is being cooked on the stove. If you want to drink it, you can do it yourself. Reese is talking about his mistress in London, Jenowick, Hickman, Coleyt and Shorty playing blackjack. You can wash your hands in the pool. This is home, and we belong here. A few close friends, a clean and bright house, a cup of coffee - this is simply heaven.

The reason why this is heaven is very simple, that is, in Germany, they enjoy material treatment that they can't enjoy in other countries, which greatly changes their impression of the Germans. Even Webster is doubting whether the atrocities that preach the German massacre and abuse of the Jews were deliberately exaggerated in order to provoke people's anger. However, when he later discovered the concentration camp, this impression was completely smashed, and the contrast was so big that he could hardly stand it.

While the E Company entered the garrison area, the superiors issued an order not to be friendly with the enemy's citizens. Except for official business, soldiers are not allowed to talk to any Germans, even children. This ridiculous order, which obviously violates the human name, cannot be supported.

And Luz and Pyconti are the ones who have a great grudge against this order. They always try their best to get some eggs and chickens in the German village, and then go back to the Germans' house where they are stationed to cook delicious food, which is the strengths of Kanti. So he values eggs more, and Luz is not good at it. He likes to talk to the girls in German villages.

But in order not to let those officers see that they violated the anti-goodwill policy, they often leave the defense zone a mile away and then find ways to exchange materials with them, or even take their eggs and seemingly valuable things in the empty house. The Germans did not show hatred for these American occupation forces. They showed their politeness and upbringing and always spoke kindly to Luz. This also allows the exchange to go smoothly most of the time.

"Hey, come here, chicken, we have harvested, and we don't need to exchange!" In the utility room of a farmhouse, there were chickens and eggs. Cante took off his helmet, and then kept taking out eggs from the chicken coop and putting them in. He smiled at Luz, "You catch the chicken, I'll take the eggs. We're doing a big deal now!"

"Okay, Frank!" With that, he stretched out his hand to keep the hen, but the hen struggled so hard that he had to stretch out his arm far away and pinch the hen's neck with his hand. "If it struggles again, I promise to shoot it!"

As the two were talking, suddenly the debris opened, and then the light came in. You could see a young German girl staring at them with wide eyes and looking at them in horror.

"Hi, hello!" Luz greeted the girl with a smile, and then let go of her hand. The hen fell to the ground and disappeared.

"Damn it, you lost our dinner!" Kanti looked at Luz with chagrin.

The German girl looked flustered. Obviously, she was scared by two American soldiers. She slowly retreated to the door and turned around and ran out!

"Wait a minute, wait a minute!" Luz didn't have time to show his lame German and quickly ran towards the girl. But the German girl turned around in horror and ran out of the house. Luz refused to give up and ran out of the utility room, leaving only a Pakone with a helmet and egg. He shouted at Luz, "George, what are you going to do? Damn it!" With that, he came out with a helmet containing eggs in his arms, and walked in the direction of the follower Luz.

"Hey, wait a minute, I just want to talk to you!" Luz had chased out, and then followed the girl to a cowshed. He looked at the girl looking at him in horror and took out a chocolate smile from his pocket. "Chocolate, do you like it?"

"Okay, George, don't bother her, let's go!" Paconti watched Luz extend his hand to him and express his dissatisfaction.

"Hey, Frank, leave me alone. Wait for me outside. I'll come out! Do you know?" Luz raised a finger at Paconti and made a move to go out! Then there was a slow walk towards the German girl who was retreating in a panic, "Don't you like it? What about cigarettes? Do you like cigarettes? The German girl cautiously suddenly took Luz's chocolate behind her. This immediately made him more energetic. He couldn't help but take out more things from his pocket, including the assigned pen and chewing gum, but almost handed over the grenade and pistol.

"You fool, don't think I'll give you an egg!" Pyconti looked at Luz, loosened his shoulders helplessly, and then walked out. In his opinion, this was all stupid. Because it's not the first time Luz has done this, he has been flirting with every girl he has seen since he entered Germany. Whether it is a young girl or a middle-aged woman, as long as she is a woman, there is no beauty, ugly, fat and thin, he will take the initiative to talk to him, but he did not succeed once. Instead, he was matched. Food and supplies are constantly sent out. Obviously, it is a stupid act in the eyes of Paconti.

Pey Kandy walked slowly on the way back. He cleared the eggs in his helmet and muttered discontentedly. There is nothing to gain this time. And he looked at the cowshed again and couldn't help shaking his head and saying, "Wait and see, the fool will come out in five minutes!"

What he said was right. In less than five minutes, Luz came out of the cowshed with chagrin. There was a faint red mark of five fingers on his face, which made him look very frustrated. He touched his cheek and said to Pai Kandy, "Let's go back. It's enough for today. The German girl is really It's hot enough!"

"This is what you deserve!" Kanty took a look at him and gloated.

"No, no, didn't you see it? She is really good-looking." Luz smiled and couldn't help touching his cheek and said, "Hey, man, she's such a baby. That's why a piece of chocolate and a bag of chewing gum can't be done.

"Are you going to come to see her tomorrow?" Paconti looked at Luz in surprise.

Luz smiled and said, "Since it's difficult to solve, why don't I shift the target? Dude, isn't she the only German girl here? Let's go to other villages tomorrow. Maybe we will get something!"

"Don't be delusional!" Kanti looked at Luz disdainfully, and the two of them walked towards the camp's house. In fact, there are many soldiers like them. Many people are doing this. Soldiers collect all kinds of materials in the village when they are not at home, including eggs and chickens. In the town, the officers often occupied the houses of some Germans with better families, and then scraped up the valuable things they had no time to take away.

Captain Spiel is one of them, and his preference is to collect all the shiny-looking guys. Then pack them and mail them back to China. This includes some silverware and handicrafts. Even Major Winters and Captain Wales are unavoidable. This is the general climate in the U.S. military. As long as they do not burn, kill and loot, no one will hold them accountable. It's just that they look much more elegant when they collect it. Generally, when they like something, they give it to the servants to pick it up, and they rarely do it themselves.

"This is for you, a silver knife. It seems that the Germans are very good at living." Captain Wales walked into a very delicate and beautiful room with the opinion of the battalion headquarters. In the living room upstairs, Major Parks played blackjack with Captain Nixson, Captain Heiliger and Lieutenant Compton. Wales held a package in his hand, a silver knife in his hand, and then threw it at Parks.

"Oh, God, do you want to kill me?" Parks took it, and then looked at the knife and couldn't help laughing at Wales, who was busy opening it, "It seems that you have gained a lot?"

"Yes, do you know where I am today? At the home of a German colonel, I saw his photo, although the woman wanted to collect it, hehe, so she gave me a set of silver tableware. To be honest, it was really beautiful. I was stunned by these beautiful babies!" With that, including loosening, the crisp sound, attracted several people on the gambling table to look at him, including shiny silver tableware, some with exquisite patterns, which were really beautiful. This made Captain Spiel couldn't help but click his mouth, looked at Captain Wales and said, "Which one is it? Tell us where it is? I don't know how many of these Nazi Germans have searched for them. I can't let them go. Harry, tell us!"

Wales smiled and said, "Don't even think about it. Whoever finds it is whose. I found that one first. Don't think about it!" With that, Wales wrapped the package again and walked towards Lijian's bedroom.

Captain Spear couldn't help looking at Major Parks. Parks shrugged his shoulders and said with the silver knife, "Don't look at me like that, Sbier. I can't help it. It's a rule. I can't destroy it!" With that, the knife in his hand reflected the light coming in from outside the window, emitting a cold light.

The officers and soldiers in the war are involuntarily, and there is no one who is right or wrong. The difference between the winner and the loser is that the winner can enjoy the obedience of the losers and their possession of their supplies, and all the wealth they have created. This is war. And now, Parks and others are the land of Germany as winners!
