Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 228: Insights (below)
The canned sardines purchased by the German Navy are all made in Italy. Historically, due to the spread of the Mediterranean war, coastal fisheries have been severely hit, and the catch of sardines has dropped sharply. As a result, the canned sardines produced in France and Italy at that time were still used Become the hard currency of the upper class in Europe. .
Italian canned sardines are delicious and oily, far more popular with soldiers than the pile of canned fish produced in Germany. Because of the massive abolition of the Italian army, 70% of all kinds of food cans produced in Italy are sold to European countries, earning a large amount of foreign exchange funds that Italy needs urgently. The German team itself is a big consumer of canned food. Under the instructions of the new head of state, the German army is constantly searching for and developing new rations. So Italian canned food has been incorporated into the German army's logistics system with its advantages of high quality and low price.
Don't take some ridicules and jokes of later generations seriously. As I said in the previous article, the Italian army’s food is actually very sophisticated. The canned meat of the Italian army is indeed ridiculed by the soldiers as "Mussolini's butt", but it must be considered that the local daytime temperature in North Africa exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, and it will be exposed to the sun for a week, even if it is the British Navy. The canned corned beef that is so salty can be used as a chemical weapon when opened.
Germans have always been very greedy. If you have a deep understanding of German food and beverage culture, you will find German recipes that are surprisingly rich in variety. As long as the cuisines that have appeared in European history, you can find them in German recipes. Trace. It can be said that the Germans are a hidden foodie nation.
Germanic barbarians are naturally stupid and bold. They dare to try all the fresh dishes they have not eaten. Once they meet the tastes of the Germans, they will become popular in the whole German area at an amazing speed, but in fact there are not many Things are not to the taste of the Germans.
On the menu of a German restaurant, you will find a large number of names of dishes pronounced in foreign languages, in addition to French, Italian, Czech and even Russian names. These are dishes that have been introduced to Germany from all over the world over the years. The Germans do not reject foreign cultures. As long as this culture can't conflict with their customs, they also like to pursue fashion very much. There is no stereotype and conservativeness in their national character.
Germans love food, especially in the army. From the memoirs and diaries of those veterans, they often find records of searching for food all over the world. Even in order to get a delicious bite, many people are willing to take it The danger of life.
"The best canned sardines in Italian oil are selected from the finest sardines and high-quality olive oil. A can of this size can be sold in Berlin stores for 75 pfennigs." Robin hands Signing the size, he introduced to Captain Fujiki standing beside him.
"Oh, seventy-five pfennigs, those two cans are 1.5 Reichsmarks. You can have a lunch with hot soup in a restaurant." Captain Fujiki once went to Germany for training for a year. Some understanding of domestic prices.
Leave aside the economic policies of the Nazis. At least they stabilized the international exchange rate of the German currency. In the ten years since the Nazis came to power, the Reichsmark has maintained considerable purchasing power. At that time, a simple meal in a street restaurant in Berlin was about one mark, including vegetable potato soup, a small chopped meat sausage, and a large piece of brown bread. This package is aimed at ordinary industrial workers in the city. At that time, an ordinary worker in Germany had a weekly salary of about 30 Reichsmarks. The staff in the company would be slightly higher. Considering the traditional German family, the hostess Usually I don’t go out to work, so this salary is no problem for a family of three. If the family has a large population, if the host doesn’t want to tighten his belt to live, he must find a way to find some extra money.
"Have you been to Germany?" Robin asked curiously.
"In March 7th, I lived in Berlin for a year." Fujiki said in German with a clear accent.
"Which area of Berlin live?" Robin asked.
"73 Karl Woodsberg Avenue." Fujiki replied.
"Close to the train station?"
"Yes, it's close to Berlin Central Station." Then the two laughed at each other, as if they had found a common language.
"Carl Würzburg Street, Berlin, where one of my distant cousins lives." Robin turned his face to Igor and explained.
Captain Fujiki, who works at Wugang Diving School, finally found a chance to talk to the Germans. Of course, he won't be wasted easily.
"If you don't mind, I have some questions I want to ask you, Captain Robin." Fujiki's posture was very low.
"What is the problem, Mr. Instructor." Robin has heard Guijima introduce the identity of the Japanese navy captain.
The instructor of the Japanese submarine school looks almost in his thirties, but Robin is a little bit confused, because the appearance of Orientals is generally younger than their actual age.
The captain in his thirties can be considered young and ambitious. He can become a school instructor. He is obviously an experienced submarine officer. Robin can't help but become curious about the question Fujiki will ask.
"Captain Robin once participated in the European War, he must have sunk a British Royal Navy ship." Fujiki asked respectfully. In fact, Captain Fujiki was already forty years old, and the naval instructor looked very glamorous, but it was much more difficult to go further than combat troops.
On the other side, Guidao and several other officers did not urge them to move on, but instead introduced the personal belongings brought by the Japanese sailors from home around Igor.
"Yes, u106 once sunk a British auxiliary cruiser and a B-class destroyer." Robin replied that in fact u106 also sank many anti-submarine gunboats and armed fishing boats, but he didn’t take those Treated as a warship.
"What a remarkable record, Captain."
"Compared with my excellent comrades, u106's record is very ordinary." In the face of outsiders, Captain Robin is quite self-reliant.
"No, no, in my opinion, this is indeed a remarkable achievement, especially when the Royal Navy is equipped with the most advanced anti-submarine weapons and can sink the opponent's ship. You are an excellent submarine commander. "Fujiki's expression is quite serious, and it feels like he really thinks so.
Although the other party's German was stumbling, this flattery still made Robin useful, and the German navy captain's face immediately showed a happy smile.
"Thank you for your compliment, Captain Auxiliary Engine Seven." Robin replied.
"No, no, no, I'm just explaining a fact, Mr. Captain. Another question I want to ask is that I heard that the Royal Navy is equipped with a new type of detection system that can accurately detect underwater submarines. Location, I don’t know if your ship has encountered a ship equipped with this new device in combat.” Fujiki asked.
"I don't know where you heard this rumor, Captain Auxiliary Engine Seven. Obviously you were deceived by the other party." Robin didn't stop to think about it at all, and replied with a smile: "To be honest, During the war, I also heard similar rumors. At that time, the fleet was circulated everywhere that the British equipped their anti-submarine ships with new equipment capable of detecting the position of underwater submarines." The German captain paused. Turning his head to look at his deputy captain, he saw that Igor was holding a porcelain teacup that I didn't know which Japanese sailor brought out of his house, chatting happily with a few Japanese officers.
"You must know that in the navy fleet, there have been a lot of war-related gossips. You are also a naval officer. You should know that this is a very common thing. In fact, these rumors are often quickly turned into facts. The rumor about the detection system was the same, and it was quickly confirmed by our intelligence agency that this was a rumor deliberately fabricated by the Royal Navy. The purpose of the British was to confuse the German submarine. The army even made the German officers and soldiers fearful. You know that the biggest advantage of our submarine ~ IndoMTL.com~ is that it has unparalleled concealment underwater. Once this advantage is broken, the submarine will become prey from hunters. This will be an extremely serious blow to the morale of the submarine troops." The expression on Robin's face turned serious, even with a hint of indignation.
"You mean, this kind of equipment does not exist. This is completely a rumor made by the Royal Navy." Fujiki said in surprise.
"Yes, it's a completely absurd rumor. The British don't have such equipment at all, otherwise our submarine force would have been wiped out by the Royal Navy. How can I stand here and chat with you happily? As far as my personal experience is concerned, my u106 has conducted dozens of battle cruises on the Atlantic route, with a range of more than 30,000 nautical miles, intercepted several large transport fleets with **** ships, and even more cargo ships that were hunted alone. There are countless, but from beginning to end, I have never encountered such mysterious equipment. The Royal Navy only uses hydrophones to find the traces of submarines, so they will never try to catch my u106." Luo Bin had a sneer at the corner of his mouth to express his mockery of the Royal Navy.
"So, it seems I was deceived. I really didn't expect that this was a rumor made by the Royal Navy." Fujiki suddenly realized.
"The British are best at bluffing. Ten years later, maybe someone will invent this kind of thing, but with the current technology," Robin shook his head with disdain.
