As autumn approaches, farms everywhere have ushered in the harvest season.
The wheat that was planted in the first half of the year has now hung down its head. The wind blows the wheat waves, and the golden wheat fields suddenly set off waves.
A large number of farm workers began to harvest the wheat. While the weather is good now, they must quickly harvest the hard-grown food!
Otherwise, once it rains, these foods will probably rot in the ground. Moreover
, the war in North America is very fierce at this time. The German army has landed more than 300,000 troops in North America, plus a large number of soldiers and civilians of the Southern Army need to be supplied, which requires a lot of food.
The sun never sets is much closer to the Americas than the European mainland. It just so happens that the population of the sun never sets has dropped rapidly because of the war, and the German army has expanded a lot of farms after occupying here, so the food production has increased a lot.
This made the British Empire have enough food to support North America. Therefore, after the harvested food was simply dried, it was quickly packed and transported to the western port city of Liverpool, from where it was loaded onto ships and then escorted to North America by warships.
Outside a farm in northern Scotland, a middle-aged farmer put down his tools and stood on the ridge of the wheat field. Seeing the harvest, he felt quite proud!
These are the fruits of their labor, and they certainly have reason to be proud!
The middle-aged farmer was none other than Sir Attlee, the former Home Secretary of the British Empire.
By November 1928, Attlee had been at the Scottish farm for almost half a year.
This period of time was definitely the most unforgettable time in his life.
Compared with the fear and anxiety when he first joined the farm, he had adapted to the life on the farm.
The climate and environment of the Scottish farm are very pleasant, and the air quality is also very fresh. Here you can see blue sky and white clouds that you can’t see in the foggy city, and the large expanses of green grassland also make people feel relaxed and happy!
Moreover, after losing the high position of Home Secretary, he no longer has to fight for the political intrigues every day.
Life on the farm is simpler but more fulfilling than his previous life. After the end of the British Isles, the situation on the British Isles stabilized. Except for the Irish people’s occasional protests against the German occupation of Northern Ireland, there seems to be nothing else!
Of course, a lot of things happened in the world during this period.
They learned from the newspaper that the German army invaded North Africa, and a man named Rommel was advancing in North Africa and Central Asia, beating the British and French armies.
The British army not only lost Aiji, but also lost the Suez Canal, and even the powerful Mediterranean Fleet was completely destroyed.
When Attlee saw this news, he completely gave up!
After the navy suffered heavy losses and even the whole army was destroyed, the British Empire would not be able to return to Europe for a long time!
And if they can’t come back, then the British Empire’s homeland occupied by the German army will change.
Moreover, after seeing the strength of the German army, Attlee himself did not hope that the British army could fight back to the mainland!
However, just when he was planning to be an ordinary farmer in peace, the Eagle Sauce suddenly declared war on Hans!
When Attlee saw the news, he was shocked!
The Eagle Sauce and Hans were allies before, and the relationship between the two countries seemed very friendly, so he, like many people, felt incredible about the news that the Eagle Sauce suddenly declared war on Hans, and it could even be said to be very shocked!
However, Attlee was much more knowledgeable than others after all, and he immediately thought that there must be other reasons behind this matter. Maybe it was the allies or even the British Empire who alienated the relationship between the two countries behind the scenes, and persuaded the Eagle Sauce people to stand on the side of the British Empire and help them fight against Hans together!
If this is really the case, then they may have a chance to defeat Hans!
When he thought of this, Attlee’s heart began to ignite a glimmer of hope again!
He fantasized about the British Empire joining forces with the Eagle Sauce, then defeating Hans, recovering the British Empire, welcoming back the King of the British Empire, and then regrouping to continue to dominate the world!
However, such a beautiful dream was soon shattered by the cruel reality!
After being betrayed, the German army was not panicked at all, and immediately used two air strikes to make the Eagle Sauce homeland panic.
Then he provoked internal conflicts between the Eagle Sauce people and the German immigrants, and successfully detonated the civil war in the Eagle Sauce!
This civil war gave the German army the opportunity to intervene and even land on the Eagle Sauce homeland. As a result, an entire German army group successfully landed in North America!
If it was just an army group, the situation would not be very serious. With the national strength of the Eagle Sauce, they should be able to defeat them, so Attlee was nervously paying attention to the progress of the battle, while secretly sweating!
As a result, the disastrous defeat of the Battle of St. Marys brought him back to reality completely!
The German army is still the German army, and it is simply invincible!
At this time, Attlee was truly disappointed with the Allies!
So, he no longer cared about the situation in North America, and focused on the autumn harvest on the farm!
A few months ago, because of the proposal to unite with other teams and carry out division of labor and cooperation, Attlee’s team not only successfully completed the tasks assigned to them by the farm, but also reclaimed a lot of extra land.
Because these lands were reclaimed late, they missed the wheat planting period, but with the help of Hans’ agricultural technicians, they planted some other crops, such as watermelons, soybeans, peanuts, sweet potatoes, potatoes and other cash crops and food crops.
Attlee reclaimed a total of about 100 acres of land. In addition to the 5 acres belonging to the farm, he still had 50 acres left.
Although most of the grain harvested from these lands had to be handed over to the farm, they could still have a lot of surplus grain, which they certainly could not eat up. Attlee calculated that if these things were sold to the farm, they could get about 2,000 marks in income, which could rent a nice house on the farm.
Once he has his own rental house, he no longer has to live together with other people on the farm. He can go out and cook for himself and live his own life!
In general, the management of them on the farm is not particularly strict, especially after the German army withdrew most of its troops, the management of the farm has changed from a militarized model to the current paramilitary management.
Under this management model, their freedom has increased a lot, and they can even have their own private property.
Attlee has thought about it. After the harvest next year, he can buy some books and rent some agricultural machinery from the countryside to further improve labor efficiency, reclaim more land, and increase more income. At that time, he can even buy the house he lives in!
The price of a farm house is not expensive. Generally, the price of a two-bedroom house is about 20,000 marks, which is equivalent to about 3,000 pounds, which is almost the total income of a British family for two years.
If this were in the past, it would not matter if Attlee bought any house with his financial resources, but now he obviously does not have such financial resources, so he can only calculate carefully bit by bit to achieve this goal of buying a house! However
, before Attlee could complete his calculations, his plan failed!
The arrival of an uninvited guest broke his peaceful life!
