Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 408: Trade (Part 1)

Time flies quickly, half of October has passed in the blink of an eye, and after the fall, the temperature gradually begins to cool.

The policemen on the streets of Berlin put on autumn clothes. Following the new orders issued by the head of state, the Berlin security police were given the duties of part of the military police, so this group of grey geese became more and more alive.

After the Führer returned to Berlin, everything is back on track. At least ordinary German citizens think so. In those days when the Führer was not in the capital, although the frontlines kept sending good news of victory, people always felt that there was something in their hearts. Not at ease.

The New Chancellery is the core of the country. When Hitler was in power, the traffic around the government office area was strictly controlled. Normally, except for some government-organized activities, ordinary people are not allowed to enter these neighborhoods. Xu Jun understands Hitler's decision very well, because once this area is opened, it will instantly be overwhelmed by tourists from all over the country.

Especially, it is not only German tourists who are pouring into Berlin right now, but Berliners are joking with each other. If you take a little care, you can collect all the currencies of all European countries on the streets of Berlin.

For this situation, ordinary Germans are extremely proud, which proves the power of the Third Reich, and Berlin has once again become the center of the European continent.

However, in addition to being proud, the citizens of Berlin are also beginning to be a little worried. A large number of foreigners have poured into the city. The difference in language and customs, coupled with the racist thinking of some Germans, has triggered a lot of public order. The problem.

Not all of these people are wealthy tourists. Many of them are laborers transferred from the occupied areas. These workers are arranged to live in cheap apartments near the industrial zone. According to the contract, they will work in Germany for five years. They can only return to their homes after the contract ends.

These workers were handed over to the Germans as part of the state compensation. Many of them were prisoners of war who were not dragged down by their families. There were also many grassroots workers who were unemployed because of the war. The defeated countries were temporarily unable to properly settle these people. Life was simply given to the Germans. Not only had he lost a large amount of debt, but also lost a lot of social baggage, so that Xu Jun was amazed by the morality of these politicians. These **** really played well and wished.

These foreign workers have been given a lot of empty checks by their respective governments. Politicians play the card of patriotism, trying to convince the workers that everything they do is for their own country, claiming the meaning of their work It is extremely important. The motherland will never forget the sacrifices they made. I am afraid that these people will be dissatisfied because of this. When they come to Germany, they will cause trouble to the other side. Then the German board will definitely come back to their faces.

However, there are almost no workers who believe in these empty words. These people are willing to go to Germany to work, and they are more attracted by the real salary. Compared with the highly competitive labor market in various countries after the war, the German side opened Although the salary is not very high, it is better than being hungry with the whole family in the unemployed army.

Most of these workers have some work experience, and many of them are technical jobs that are in short supply in Germany, especially all kinds of mechanics, welders and machine operators. They only need a little training to join the production, which is really relaxing. At present, the problem of the lack of technical work in Germany, when the training of a new batch of technical workers in Germany is completed, the industrial output of the Third Reich will see a rapid growth.

As for the management of these personnel, the Germans did not feel any pressure at all. Anyway, there are rules and regulations, and violations will be punished. The contract is plain and clear, and everyone signed and detained them.

Now European countries are working hard to resume production. After the end of the maritime blockade between Britain and Germany, a large number of raw materials and finished products that are in short supply from various countries have begun to be imported into Europe continuously.

At this time, we can see how strong the foundation of the British Empire was. The suppliers of the British colonies and dependent countries almost contracted almost half of the supply orders for European commodities in the next few months.

Originally, for the war on the mainland of the empire, suppliers from the British colonies and dependent countries prepared a large amount of supplies. It is because the German naval blockade was too harsh, so most of them were backlogged in ports everywhere.

At the time, everyone did not expect that the United Kingdom would be defeated in this war. When the blockade was lifted, it was discovered that there was a problem with the next home that received the goods. The British government stated that with their current financial situation, they could not take over for the time being. Many supplies.

The merchants were dumbfounded, because there were many orders, and the British government only paid part of the deposit. I thought that the golden sign of the British Empire was there. Who would have thought that the invincible sun would not set the bill. These goods occupy a large amount of liquidity, and the storage costs paid every day are astronomical. If no one takes over, the suppliers can only jump off the building hand in hand.

At this time, these people never dreamed that it would be the Germans who would eventually save them.

The British government also knows that what it is doing is a bit unorthodox, but Chamberlain, no matter how strong it is, can't make the pound sterling out of thin air. Some people say that you can print money. If before the war broke out, this would be a solution, but under the new European order in Germany, the British pound and European currencies are hooked up. You start printing money today, believe it or not. Even the Mint will blow you up tomorrow.

So Chamberlain could only ask Xu Jun euphemistically whether he could provide some financial support to the UK, such as the gold, gold, and gold that Germany acquired in the low countries.

Xu Jun didn't understand what was going on at first, but only after asking the Eye of Odin did he know that the British had made such a big oolong. In this case, it seems that Germany should also bear part of the responsibility, although the pot was originally Hitler's, but now head of state Xu Da has to recite.

This problem that caused the British headache, put it here, it is very simple to solve. Xu Jun opened up the European market to this batch of materials. Faced with the current huge demand throughout Europe, these commodities could not even splash a splash.

The Germans opened the floodgates, and international trade began to prosper in an instant. European countries began to export industrial products squeezed within a year of the war overseas in exchange for the urgently needed industrial raw materials and living supplies.

The hottest thing in Europe at the moment is the grain trade. Due to the war, various grain-producing countries have experienced a certain reduction in production. Because of the longevity in Europe, the original food savings are not very sufficient. At this moment, many countries have food reserves. Already on the verge of bottoming out.

At this moment, the governments of various countries are not only for their own food security, but more importantly, for the future war that cannot be avoided. Countries are beginning to use all channels and begin to frantically store war preparations. The Germans gave them a timetable of only one and a half years, and claimed that the time actually left for everyone might be shorter. After witnessing a lot of evidence, no one dared to take this as a joke at this time.

In the grain trade with Europe, American agricultural product merchants can be regarded as making a lot of money. Originally, the United States had been harvesting year after year and the domestic economy was sluggish. The grain market has been sluggish. Food prices and stock prices have been falling together. . It can be said that the current grain export trade to Europe has saved most of the American farmers. In the New York market, the prices of various agricultural and food-related stocks and futures have begun to rise rapidly.

Now there are tens of thousands of tons of grains, corn and various food raw materials every day. The major ports on the east coast of the United States are loaded with transport ships from Europe, the large military high-speed transport ships that were used to transport ammunition and weapons. , And now the cargo hold is full of native products of Great America. Even in order to maximize the efficiency of transportation, European merchants continued the wartime standards in procurement, and things like deboned meat and egg powder became the most popular products at this time.

American oats and black beans are almost exported to Europe at cost prices~IndoMTL.com~The recipients are livestock farmers in Denmark, Belgium and even Germany, in order to re-fatify their cattle, sheep, horses, chickens, ducks and eggs. Poultry, the large amount of feed they need, currently only Americans can open the supply unscrupulously.

Germany has also begun to import agricultural products in large quantities from the United States. Soybeans are currently the largest traded commodity. The first batch of 100,000 tons of soybeans has been shipped in Boston and will arrive in Bremen, Germany before the end of the month.

For Germany, soybeans are not only an agricultural product, but also an important strategic material. As mentioned earlier, Germany lacks petroleum resources, and the lubricants needed by industry and military cannot be synthesized by chemical methods. It can only be refined from plants and animals and fossil fuels.

Germany does not have a large area of ​​arable land that can be used to grow this crop, and almost all rely on imports from abroad. The only supplier in Germany before was China. At that time, Northeast China was the largest soybean producer in the world. But when Japan invaded the three provinces, Japanese merchants monopolized more than 90% of the soybean trade, although the Japanese gave Germans free trade. In fact, German businessmen can clearly feel the ubiquity of Japanese trading companies.

Actually, the best choice for Germany at this time should be to directly import finished lubricant products from the United States, but Xu Jun must consider maintaining the operation of domestic bio-oil companies, not just looking at the cheap.

However, when it comes to American petroleum products, it is indeed full of temptations for Germany now.
