“The sword of bad luck is invincible, and we will surely win the final victory!”

Lieutenant Colonel Steven’s eyes widened, his neck red, and he shouted at the top of his lungs to the captured American soldiers in the prisoner-of-war camp and some social figures who were captured by the German army for dangerous activities to promote his political ideas!

From what he said, it can be seen that he is an extremely fanatical patriot!

Even after entering the prisoner-of-war camp, he did not give up his idea that the sword of bad luck is the best in the world!

Perhaps in the eyes of Lieutenant Colonel Steven, the sword of bad luck is really invincible!

However, Private Aaron was more curious, why did such a patriotic Lieutenant Colonel Steven enter the prisoner-of-war camp?

He looked healthy and not injured, and it didn’t look like he was injured and captured. If that was the case, how did he become a prisoner of the German army?

If he was really as patriotic as he advertised, shouldn’t he insist on fighting to the last moment on the battlefield, and would rather die than surrender ? Are you determined not to be captured by the enemy on the way to the charge?

With such doubts, Private Aaron was skeptical about what Lieutenant Colonel Steven said.

This prisoner-of-war camp is located in Utah, close to the Rocky Mountains. It belongs to the western region of the Eagle Sauce. The main prisoners are American soldiers who were captured in the military operations launched by the German army in the central region of the Eagle Sauce.

Although Guderian was transferred from the east to the central region by Manstein, he did not give up his quick attack plan.

Moreover, unlike the narrow terrain in the eastern region, the terrain in the central region is very open, with large plains and vast Gobi deserts, allowing his armored group to gallop freely.

The only bad thing is that this is not the core area of the Eagle Sauce, so the US military strength here is relatively weak, and Guderian’s name is too loud, which resulted in his army coming over and the local More than half of the garrison fled before the battle even started.

After hearing that it was Guderian who was coming to kill them, only a few of the remaining troops had the courage to fight, and the others basically surrendered directly!

Starting from Texas, Guderian pushed northward to Montana in one breath, and successfully joined forces with Model’s Second Army, which had crossed mountains and ridges from the west.

So far, the German army has completely controlled the western and central regions of the Eagle Sauce, and the eastern region also controls the southeastern coastal areas and the central areas of the east. The Eagle Sauce now controls only the northern areas near the Great Lakes and the northeastern coastal areas. The areas they control now are not much larger than the thirteen states that first gained independence!

Although the German army has not yet launched the final general offensive against the Eagle Sauce, anyone with eyes can see that the Eagle Sauce is already a candle swaying in the wind, and can be killed at any time. The strong wind blew away the gold mines, and their demise was already in the countdown!

Although Guderian did not achieve any major military success in the central region, he accomplished his planned plan brilliantly.

Moreover, he captured hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war, which was of great help in developing the mineral resources in the uninhabited areas in the west, especially those with very difficult conditions.

The prisoner-of-war camp where Lieutenant Colonel Steven and Private Aaron were located was prepared for gold mining in the west. Before they entered the prisoner-of-war camp, three batches of prisoners of war had been sent out to perform mining tasks.

However, the natural conditions in the western region were too harsh, so mining here was a high-risk job. A large number of soldiers among these prisoners of war became ill or even died because they were not adapted to the environment. However, in just three months, at least more than a thousand people had died in the mines.

With such a high mortality rate, the gold mines here were horrifiedly called blood mines by the Eagle Sauce soldiers!

However, the German army did not care about the life or death of these people. Anyway, they should have died on the battlefield. It was the mercy of the German army that they were still alive. After all, their food and drink in the past few months were supplied by the German army. These could not be given for free. They must take out something in exchange.

Because the conditions in the mining area were harsh and the mortality rate was high, the German army also shortened their working period. Prisoners of war who were willing to work in the mining area and had a good record of working in the mining area and had not committed any accidents could be freed after completing three years of work in the mining area.

Moreover, after being freed, they can apply for Hans citizenship and continue to settle in the land of Yingjiang.

Such conditions can be regarded as very good. Back then, the Chinese workers who traveled thousands of miles from the Far East across the ocean had a worse working environment than them, a heavier workload than them, and a higher mortality rate!

The Chinese workers worked hard, shuttled through the uninhabited areas in the west, and helped the Eagle Sauce people build the Eagle Sauce East-West Railway with hard work. The result was not the gratitude and acceptance of the Eagle Sauce people, but the discrimination and exclusion of the Eagle Sauce people. A Chinese Exclusion Treaty made the social status of these Chinese workers suddenly become the lowest, which can be said to be even worse than the untouchables!

Compared with the Eagle Sauce people’s treatment of Chinese workers, Mainz thought that his attitude towards these Eagle Sauce people was relatively mild!

If they met a mustache, these people would probably be sent to make soap!

However, in addition to this choice, the German army also provided another choice!

Those who are unwilling to work in the mining area will be expelled by the German army, leave the Eagle Sauce land, and live abroad!

The German army did not explain the specific details in detail, but after the news spread inside the prisoner-of-war camp, it immediately caused heated discussions among the Eagle Sauce prisoners of war.

So, Lieutenant Colonel Steven, who had surrendered on the battlefield and could not win, would rather choose to be expelled and live abroad in order not to be sent to the mining area to work!

After all, his status is considered to be above the middle class in the United States, so his family has accumulated some wealth. Moreover, he privately inquired that not long ago, about tens of thousands of workers from the eastern and southern regions were sent to South America to support the construction of South America. From the whereabouts of these people, he speculated that if the German army expelled them, they should be driven to places such as Central and South America.

After all, these places are the closest to America, so the freight is the cheapest. Although the conditions in South America are not as good as those in the United States, the social system there is not much different from that of the United States. Most countries imitate the political system of the United States, which makes the life of the rich very secure there!

Although he can’t stay in the United States, as long as he has money, he can live in other countries. He doesn’t want to stay in a United States occupied by the German army as a second-class person!
