Chapter 243 Foreign Students in Germany (Third update, please subscribe)
Although the Berlin Military Academy has been disbanded according to the order of the Allies, as a privilege of the Allies, the search team is still stationed in Berlin, using Berlin The professors of the Military Academy set up a "tactics seminar". In fact, they hired those professors to give military lessons to the search team members. This tactics seminar, to a certain extent, can be regarded as the cradle of military education in Borneo. Even the officer training teams in North Africa cannot compare with it. After all, this is a truly systematic military education.
The first batch of students was not many, only 500, but for a search team with a total number of only 40,000 people, this number was already very impressive.
In the past few months, they have been studying and discussing here every day. The German instructors are also extremely responsible. In fact, for them, they are very lucky to have this job. After all, in this special period, finding a job itself is a luxury. Besides, they still serve the occupying forces.
Serving the occupying forces meant there would be no shortage of food, cigarettes, and of course a good salary, which ensured that their families would not starve. In Germany, this was a blessing.
It's just that there are not many people who are so lucky, only a few dozen, and they have to escape the storm of war, escape the hunt of the Russians, and escape too many things...
In comparison Next time, girls like Susanna were much luckier, they just had to hide from the Russians, but now?
In front of this former middle school, there are already crowds of young ladies. They occasionally use palm-sized dressing mirrors to check their makeup. In fact, it is just lipstick. But even so, they still seemed serious. Their idea is very simple, that is, to show their best side to men.
The same is true for Susanna, she even said to herself in her heart.
"Suzanne, you can do it, you can do it. Today, today...he is yours!"
When she said this, her face couldn't help but heat up. For a twenty-year-old girl, this did make her blush a little. However, when she saw the women of the same age around her, she felt a surge of emotion in her heart. Only crisis remains!
Crisis!
Yes, they may all become her competitors!
In postwar Germany, the most direct problem facing everyone is survival!
The amount of food each person gets every day is not even half of what it was before the war, and even this amount of food is decreasing, and sometimes it is not available at all. Clothing and heating coal were even more scarce than food, and everyone was struggling to survive.
In this ruins, no one can see hope.
Only despair!
Germany no longer exists. Like all women, Susanna needs to consider not only the issue of eating, but also the future - men.
In Germany, men have even become a luxury. In the neighborhood where she lives, there are only dozens of men over fifty years old left. The young ones are either dead or captured by the Russians.
Women need men!
In other words, you need a man who can save you from hunger and give you a safe and well-fed life.
So, she came here, this was her third time here.
The first time was out of gratitude, the second time, and the third time... She hoped to take him home and show him the bedroom. Just thinking about what might happen, she felt her heart beating. accelerate.
Perhaps the woman next to her noticed her nervousness, so she patted her shoulder gently and said.
“It’s okay, don’t be nervous, they are all gentlemen, if you know them, seize the opportunity, it’s a rare opportunity!”
"Ah..."
Susanna nodded quickly and thanked her.
"Thank you, thank you, my name is Susanna, what's yours?"
"Catherine."
Katherine glanced at the school and said.
"He proposed to me last night..."
When the women around heard the proposal, they all looked at her with envy. In their eyes, she was undoubtedly lucky.
In Berlin, there were many women with the occupation forces, but that was it, no one would marry a German woman, they would just sleep with her a few times, and if she got pregnant, the man would disappear.
However, these people are different from other occupying forces. They are all reliable.
“Seize the opportunity, maybe, they are the only foreign men in the world willing to marry German women!”
Catherine's words made all the ladies around her fall into deep thought.
“Remember, they are all a group of very shy men, you have to take the initiative, take the initiative again!”
At this moment, the door opened, and a group of men in military uniforms walked away When they came out, the women shouted the man's name one after another. After seeing Zheng Tao in the crowd, Susanna waved to him.
"Zheng, I'm here." Zheng Tao couldn't help but be startled by the girl's reappearance. He walked over. Before he could react, Susanna immediately took his arm after thinking of Catherine's instructions. , said:
“Shall we go shopping together?”
Ah!
The moment the girl hugged him, Zheng Tao's body became stiff, and his heart even jumped into his throat. The smell of inferior perfume, although a little pungent, affected his thoughts.
Zheng Tao didn’t even remember what happened next. He just let the girl hold his arm and walk on the streets of Berlin. In the ruins, the girl’s head leaned on his Shoulder.
Is this... love?
Along the way, he listened to the girl telling her story, her experience in school, and how she and her sister escaped from the wolf-like Russians during the war. Zheng Tao felt a little heartbroken as he listened to the woman describe what she had experienced at that time. holding the woman in his arms.
In the evening, he followed the girl to her home. If a house that has lost one wall is a home, this is indeed a woman's home - there is no furniture, even the mattress has been Someone snatched them away. That night, at Susanna's home, Zheng Tao became a man and the girl became a woman.
Everything that happened next was natural. After having a man, Susanna's life changed dramatically.
The windows were re-glazed and the beds had new mattresses, even before winter arrived. She and her sister both had coats, and their faces became rosy.
On this day, when Susanna was preparing dinner at her home. After opening the door and looking at the woman busy in the kitchen, Zheng Tao's eyes became a little solemn.
Feeling the gaze behind her, Susanna turned back, looked at Zheng Tao and said.
"My dear, you are back, we can eat in a moment..."
Her words stopped suddenly because the man took out a flower and a ring.
"Suzanne, will you...will you marry me?"
Looking at the flowers and rings, Susanna was so excited that she even shed tears, and nodded repeatedly.
"I do, I do..."
...
Almost every day, search team members marry German women.
In postwar Germany, the issue that everyone needed to consider was survival. After all, many people starved to death because they had no food.
For women, getting married is the best way to survive.
The generous search team members have always been targeted. Zhao Xiyong is naturally very clear about this.
He knew clearly that the vast majority of women did not marry the search team members because of love, but because of cigarettes, food, and survival.
But in his opinion, there is nothing unacceptable in this. Most of those women are not only college educated, but also have certain professional knowledge.
"This Susanna majors in early childhood education, not bad, not bad..."
Looking through the marriage partner information sent by the team members, Zhao Xiyong nodded in praise and said to himself Said to himself.
"What the company needs should be such talents. This is the right thing. Even if you are married, you still need to find such talents..."
Now Zhao Xiyong is used to the team members and German women. Marriage, but in his opinion, those silly boys are sometimes a bit silly. For example, last week, there was a guy who let the daughter of a landowner attack him.
Silly boy, the daughter of a landlord is comparable to a college student!
That girl is just a high school student...
When people come to Germany, their vision has become very high. In China, female high school students are all "foreign students" that people flock to, but In Germany...high school students are really low-educated!
"Hey, there is also a thirteen-year-old sister. Well, then this cabin will have to be increased..."
Well, for some things, there is actually a buy one, get one free.
Actually, this kind of thing is not buy one get one free, but buy one get two, three or four. The war took the lives of too many German men, especially young men, a total of 8 million 16-40 years old. Men died in the war, which directly caused a large number of German women to become widows or unable to find men.
In this case, women who marry search team members are often very keen to introduce their sisters and friends to their husbands’ brothers, colleagues and friends, because women who marry as far away as Borneo We always want to have friends by our side.
This also led to more than 700,000 German women marrying away from Borneo in the 1940s and 1950s, making Germany one of the most important sources of immigrants in Borneo and the second largest Source of foreign brides.
