The Third Reich: The Return of the King

If the Romanians had an epiphany earlier, they wouldn't have wasted so much time.

After all, more than 100,000 people have to consume a lot of food every day!

Of course, Mainz was not so kind, he had no intention of giving these prisoners of war rice, so most of the 100,000 prisoners of war were sent to the mines and various engineering teams to open mountains and build roads.

Since they are prisoners of war, there is no need to pay them wages or anything, and it is almost enough to feed them every day.

So on the whole, in fact, the German army earned, after all, the extra 100,000 costs are very low, almost free labor, and these laborers are very helpful for the development of Odilli

It is precisely because these prisoners of war can help the development of Hans, so after Ferdinand I paid the ransom and was ransomed, Mainz did not take the initiative to mention these prisoners of war at all.

Of course, these prisoners of war are still prisoners of war after all, and they can't be locked up for life, since the Romanians are willing to pay a ransom for them, then it doesn't matter if they let them take these prisoners of war away, after all, 100,000 prisoners of war are still very difficult to take care of, and Odilli should always be careful about what kind of riots they break out, and there is no need to be so worried after sending them away!

It's just that if you want to take people away, you have to spend a little more money and a little more blood!

"We are willing to pay £100 to take these poor soldiers, whose relatives are at home looking forward to being reunited with them, and we hope that your country will let them go home soon!"

From the very beginning, the envoy of Romaniya played the emotional card, hoping to use this card to impress the German army.

However, Mainz was completely indifferent to this move of the Romani Tooth, he glanced at the Romani Tooth envoy with a blank face, and said: "1 million pounds? Is this the bottom line of your country?"

100 pounds is completely called Hanako, and the value created by these 100,000 prisoners of war every day is not worth this amount.

In the last year alone, under the labor of these prisoners of war, Odili has built several railways in the country, which has greatly strengthened their ability to control those remote areas of the country.

The geographical environment of Odili is not good, the country is mountainous, and building a railway is a hard job, and few people are willing to work here without additional money.

In the past, when the Odilli government needed to add money to recruit enough workers, now they don't need to spend money, and they can do what they couldn't do before with these 100,000 prisoners of war!

Therefore, before the construction of the railway, Mainz was reluctant to release the 100,000 prisoners of war, and if the existence of these 100,000 prisoners of war had not brought great security difficulties to the Odilli side, he would not have negotiated with the Romanians at all.

At this time, the Romani people still can't see the situation clearly, and 000,000 pounds can satisfy Mainz?

Dream on!

In the face of Mainz's straightforward inquiry, the Romani envoy was stunned and subconsciously shook his head.

In fact, King Ferdinand I didn't give him an accurate figure at all, just asked him to try his best to make the German army's asking price a little lower!

"Hehe, in that case, it would be better for us to give your country a price of conscience, according to the rank of the captured soldiers, we don't want a ransom for ordinary privates, release them all, a ransom of 10 pounds per corporal, 20 pounds per sergeant, 40 pounds per sergeant, and so on, what does your country think?"

Hearing Mainz say that the largest number of privates could be released unconditionally, the envoy almost stood up excitedly!

Of the hundreds of thousands of captives, the number of ordinary soldiers made up the vast majority, and most of these people were not nobles but commoners!

Ferdinand I did not strongly demand the ransom of these ordinary soldiers, he wanted to ransom mainly the officers of the nobility!

Without the soldiers, they can continue to recruit, but without these officers, he will not be able to control the army, and these officers have family support behind them, if they are not redeemed earlier, these people's families may unite against him, and at that time his throne will definitely not be kept!

Originally, the envoy was still worried that the German army would ask for a sky-high price, but the German army actually gave such a preferential policy!

This made him overjoyed!

"Okay, I promise you!"

After the envoy agreed, he was worried that the German side would backtrack, so he hurriedly said: "I don't know when you will start releasing people, we can sign an agreement with you now, and pay the ransom immediately, I hope you can release our personnel as soon as possible!"

Seeing that the other party looked like he had been sold and helped to count the money, Ribbentrop, Goebbels and others couldn't help but hold back their laughter, and they almost laughed out loud!

"Well, no problem, I can sign an agreement with you now, but when you release the prisoners of war, you need to pay all the ransoms at once, otherwise we won't release your officers, understand?"

Mainz also couldn't help laughing, but in order to prevent the other party from repenting, he finalized some things in advance and blocked the other party's retreat.

"I understand, we also pay attention to the spirit of contract, so naturally we will not go back on our word!"

The envoy did not realize that he had been fooled, so he hurriedly signed an agreement with the German side.

And as soon as the agreement was signed, he returned to Romeniya with the agreement and went back to prepare the ransom!

"Hahaha, no, let me laugh for a while!"

As soon as the Romani man was gone, Ribbentrop burst into laughter.

From the way he covered his stomach and laughed and couldn't stand up, you can know how hard he was holding back before!

"Hehe, that's funny, by the way, Second Lieutenant Martin, what is the total ransom you calculated?"

The young secretary Bowman immediately stood up and saluted everyone, and then said with a straight look: "Among the 200,000 Romani troops who were captured, there are a total of 42,000 non-commissioned officers, 110,000 lieutenant officers, 2,100 colonels, and 22 generals, including 8 brigadier generals, 7 major generals, 5 lieutenant generals, and 1 general!"

"The total result of our calculations is that the Romanians need to pay a ransom of £150 million for this!"
