Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

While Yannick was brainwashing little Hepburn, Dennis, a prisoner of war in Edinburgh, England, was complaining to his companion Wendell, a prisoner of war who was also returning home to visit relatives. "I don't know when this damn day will end."

The coldness of late winter is a great threat to the civilians on the British Isles. Not only is the food supply insufficient, but the fuel supply is also often tense.

Almost everything in Britain today is labeled as military supplies. Food, oil, steel, imitation fabrics and even coal for heating. Almost everything is becoming in short supply. The prices of all daily necessities have been rising sharply, but there is only one thing that has not risen, and that is workers' wages; let alone rising, many factories and companies are facing closure, and unemployed workers are being laid off one after another, and more and more people are being laid off. Forced to receive food relief subsidies. But this kind of relief food can't be eaten every time. It can be regarded as a full meal and a hungry meal.

The United Kingdom had already broken away from agricultural self-sufficiency two hundred years ago. More than 80% of the population are urban residents, and all food is basically dependent on imports.

Before the war between Britain and Germany began, the United Kingdom had a population of nearly 48 million, and two-thirds of the country's food depended on imports. After the war between the two armies, the British Empire's navy suffered a sudden heavy blow. German submarines and the High Seas Fleet wreaked havoc in the Atlantic. A large number of transport ships were attacked, and these losses included not only raw materials such as steel and metal, but also food such as rice, wheat, sugar, etc. transported from various colonies.

This war changed everything and awakened the British from their sudden sense of happiness. Suddenly there was nothing on the street, the beautiful and gorgeous clothes were gone, the delicious and cheap restaurants were closed, and even the bars that were never closed on weekdays had signs saying they were open for limited hours. All kinds of leisure clubs disappeared overnight. Then prices skyrocketed, and those farmers who originally drove their agricultural vehicles into the city became the targets of everyone's fawning overnight. Everyone hoped to get a fresh steak from them so that they could not see it for a long time. The fishy stomach will also improve.

British banknotes are originally the pride of the British. All British people feel extremely proud that their banknotes can be equivalent to the same amount of silver. But now Yiyingpong can't even have a full meal. How can this not make the British feel depressed?

What is even more disappointing is that although the government has been propagating that the British Empire will surely win the final victory, it is hard to see the end of the war.

In winter, heating has become the biggest problem for all British civilians. The coal provided by the government is simply not enough for use. Every British family puts coal in the storage room as if it is a treasure, because if you are not careful, the coal that is usually thrown on the ground without anyone picking it up will disappear. trace.

So at night, all British families no longer have any activities other than wrapping themselves in quilts to keep warm, all just to save the poor coal.

Coal has become an everlasting pain in all British civilian families. However, this also allowed the British to develop a good habit of thrift, and the habit of storing coal in storage rooms was still maintained by British families decades later.

"I want to go back quickly now." It should have been a happy thing to leave the prisoner of war camp and go home, but at this time, their arrival made the already not very wealthy family even worse. And their food was far inferior to that in the prison camp.

What's even worse is that they have no way to make money to support their families, so they have become freeloaders.

Wendell brought up another incident. "Have those guys from the intelligence department been looking for you?"

"Of course I have. They are really a bunch of guys who have nothing to do after they are full." The day before yesterday, two people from the intelligence department came to his door and asked him carefully for all the details in the prisoner of war camp. He didn't know what the purpose of these guys' investigation was. They didn't make guns or artillery in the prisoner-of-war camps; all they produced were civilian supplies.

But what was a bit disgusting was that the intelligence officers actually suggested to him that he should unite the prisoners of war in the camp to launch a boycott of production and even formulate a prison escape plan.

"These idiots." Dennis spat disdainfully. He finally managed to live a good life in the prisoner of war camp by relying on his craftsmanship. Do you think I am living too comfortably? Is jailbreaking so easy? Someone did plan to escape when they first arrived at the prisoner of war camp, but the escaped prisoners of war were turned into corpses with their lower bodies blown up and hung on the wall for public display the next day.

Moreover, once you escape from prison, even if you take even half a step out of the prisoner of war camp, you will lose the treatment of prisoners of war under the Geneva Convention and be shot immediately.

Dennis did not have such courage. Although he agreed perfunctorily on the surface, he secretly decided that if anything went wrong after returning, he would report it to the Germans immediately.

Wendell obviously had the same idea. "I don't want to be sent to a Class B or even Class C prisoner of war camp." He originally stayed in a Class B prisoner of war camp for a period of time and then transferred to a Class A prisoner of war camp. I have a deep understanding of this. The conditions in Class A prisoner of war camps are much better than those in Class B prisoner of war camps. Although he had never experienced a C-class prisoner-of-war camp, he learned from the few words of the prisoner-of-war camp guards that a C-class prisoner-of-war camp was a hellish existence. The Germans seemed to have no intention of letting the people inside get out alive.

Although he didn't know whether this C-level prisoner of war camp existed, he didn't want to fall from heaven to hell.

"Didn't you see that the guy who came to ask me for questioning actually looked envious when he heard that we could eat meat every three days in the prisoner of war camp." Wendell couldn't help laughing as he said that. . Looking at the guy's expression, Wendell wondered if he wanted to be put into a German prisoner of war camp on his own initiative.

After laughing a few times, Dennis sighed. "Hey, don't mention the meat, my stomach is growling again. There is still a week before I can go back. How should I spend this week? How much food do I need to eat?"

Wendell asked. "How's your father's factory going?"

"The approval has been granted, but there are no raw materials now. How can we start work? I heard that even those big factories can't start work. How can it be possible for a small factory like mine to get its turn?"

After a long silence, Wendell suddenly spoke. "Do you think we can go back early?"

"Go back early? I would like to go back early." Dennis said with a wry smile. "How can we go back? Those of us who have returned are scattered all over the country. How do we contact them? Do we notify them one by one? Do you know their home addresses?"

Dennis shook his head in frustration and sighed. "Why."
