Chapter V Confirmation

Mingyue of the Great Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/   The latest work of Xiangnan Xiaoxiaosheng! Chapter 5   Confirm

As Hoffmann's agent, Zhou Nan only needs to focus on various materials sent from Germany, including the northern occupied areas, prepare accounts, and then make the goods and accounts consistent.

Since his injury has not healed yet, he does not need to run in the office or warehouse, and his original work is relatively easy, so he can still enjoy a leisurely life every day and only needs to spend an hour to handle his work.

This also gave him enough time to check various information and enjoy the beauty of the Dutch countryside in the woods.

On April 29, General Christy Jansen, the commander-in-chief of the German Army, issued an order to order all former soldiers of the Dutch armed forces to report to be sent to Germany's prisoners of war camps to be detained, which caused a new crisis.

The next day, the Dutch government in London broadcasted a call asking the relevant personnel to boycott the order: "Don't register... ignore their summons. Try to make it impossible for them to find you!"

In view of this dangerous sentiment in the Dutch people, the Military Control Government issued martial law orders, imposed curfews throughout the Netherlands that night, and set out other regulations that restrict freedom of movement. Violators can be sentenced to death.

From May 2 to 6, at least twenty-one Dutch were sentenced to death for participating in strikes or other crimes. Governor Seth Inquart suggested in February the full mobilization of Dutch labour. Under a decree of 6 May 1943, all men aged 18 to thirty-five should be registered for compulsory labour, and all students who have not signed a declaration of allegiance should also be registered for labour.

On May 13, the US, British and French troops launched an attack in Tunisia, while the German and Italian troops failed in Africa.

Beside Zhou Nan, German police chief Lauter issued a notice to confiscate all radio equipment and accessories and parts, whether from private homes or in stores. On May 15, martial law was revoked, but regulations on forced labor and confiscation of radio equipment remained unchanged.

On the same day, Seth Inquart issued another order aimed at dealing with passive resistance in government work, and those who cause serious administrative damage can be sentenced to life-long hard labor or death penalty.

The situation seemed to be getting worse, but Zhou Nan felt that there was a light in front of him. Because all these signs confirmed that his dream seemed to exist. In fact, he could not tell whether it was a dream or another life.

He regarded this as a compensation from the Taoist Lord to him, making up for the pain he experienced in his dreams. This also made him pay more attention to the two boxes of Taoist scriptures in his room, even with a sense of piety.

In his previous life, he always considered himself a Taoist disciple rather than a Taoist disciple. Although it was Taoism that gave him a bowl of rice and finally gave him a stable life, it was because of his seniority and age, as well as his contribution to preserving the Taoist scriptures. Even his nephew and the real person in charge of the sects thought he was a fake Taoist priest.

The Laoshan Sect belongs to the Quanzhen Long Sect, and is also called the Jinshan Sect because of the ancestor Sun Xianqing nicknamed Jinshan Zhenren. The Taoist priests of the Long Sect are good at exorcising ghosts and catching monsters, suppressing zombies, cursing curses and cursings, traditional Chinese medicine, earth vein Feng Shui, internal kung fu, etc. Among them, the earth vein Feng Shui and traditional kung fu are divided into the bandit organization, forming the Xiling Lishi School.

However, as the 21st generation descendant with the highest generation, Zhou Nan did not understand talismans and magic, did not know how to fast, worship and pray for sacrifices, and had a loose feng shui of geography, and was not as good as traditional Chinese medicine. He only practiced internal skills that strengthened the body and seemed to be good at practicing it. Although he suffered many serious injuries, he still lived to be 95 years old.

Apart from playing a good flute, being able to draw and writing, Zhou Nan has no choice but to do traditional Taoism skills.

However, with Zhou Nan's qualifications, there are not many people who can test him, and a good painting and good handwriting can become the signboard of Laoshan School's publicity. This is also the reason why the younger generations hold him, and his life in his later years can be considered free and easy.

Zhou Nan also tried his skills in the room. Although Dao Zun was the best, although he learned in his dream, these advantages were perfectly presented in reality.

Now, since it has been confirmed that everything in the dream will really happen, Zhou Nan is also secretly planning to change his destiny.

Since arriving in Germany at the end of 1938, Hitler's nationalist policy completely cut off Zhou Nan's idea of ​​becoming a German citizen, and Hoffman could do nothing about this.

But because of this, Zhou Nan did not need to join the army or be rushed to the battlefield to die. However, he does not have the identity of Europe yet, which makes him unable to move forward on the European continent.

At present, almost all Western Europe is controlled by the Germans. Britain cannot go through a strait. Eastern Europe is in full swing. Now it can only be a death sentence. Looking at the entire European continent, there is only one Switzerland still independent.

Therefore, Zhou Nan's first purpose now is to obtain Swiss nationality.

Switzerland has never been an immigrant country, but now Switzerland is not Switzerland in later generations. Even if you are a billionaire, it will take at least ten years to become a real Swiss person if you buy a permanent property in Switzerland.

Before the end of World War II, Switzerland was an immigrant exporter rather than an importer. Before 1900, Switzerland was a remote countryside, and the Swiss tried every means to immigrate to other countries. Argentina, South America, was the favorite immigration place for Swiss people.

After entering the 20th century, Switzerland's economy gradually developed, but the two world wars made the Swiss feel insecure about the environment around them.

Zhou Nan arrived in Italy in 38 years, crossed from Italy to Switzerland, and came to Germany. On the way, he met countless Swiss people running to South America in order to escape the war.

However, only looking at his yellow skin, he wanted to immigrate to Switzerland, which is not something he can do now. It still requires Hoffman's operation to do it.

As for money, Zhou Nan is not short of it.

When he left Germany in his dream, he was almost penniless because he left all his money to Hoffman's wife Caroline.

Zhou Nan has the concept of the Chinese since ancient times to be thrifty and thrifty, and he can't spend money now, because in the entire German-occupied area of ​​Europe, the food rationing system is implemented.

This is similar to the system implemented later in China. No matter what, it must be supplied by tickets, and it is meticulous for everyone to eat every day. Because it is not settled monthly here, you cannot receive a monthly ration at once, and you will receive it once a day.

Therefore, on the streets, you can see people queuing up long queues after get off work to receive food for the whole day.

Zhou Nan's salary is 120 imperial marks per month, and they are basically saved. Since there is no import and export at this time, and there is no foreign currency exchange, the actual purchasing power of the imperial mark is not easy to calculate. However, in Germany, three marks are equivalent to one gram of gold, which means that Zhou Nan's monthly salary is 40 grams of gold.

This income is not high among Germans, because the minimum salary of soldiers is 110 marks, but equivalent to the income of women, Zhou Nan's income is not low at all. Compared with the income of the Dutch, Zhou Nan is happier because they work hard for ten hours a day and earn less than fifty marks a month.

In addition to his salary, Zhou Nan also has a portion of the shares given by Hoffman. These shares are the money left by his father Zhou Dazhuang. Hoffman used it to invest in Zhou Nan, accounting for 20% of Hoffman's business.

As for Zhou Dazhuang's money, it was stolen from the Japanese. It was also because there were too many Japanese people killed, and the Japanese army finally returned, and Zhou Dazhuang was caught by the Japanese and shot directly.

Zhou Nan looked at the account book. Not counting shares, his deposits exceeded 5,000 marks, which was also a huge sum, because according to the current exchange ratio, this is the value of 1,600 grams of gold.

The money was enough for him to buy a house in Switzerland to settle down, but Zhou Nan had not yet decided what to live in the future.

It is still the war era, and life everywhere is relatively poor, mainly due to lack of supplies and even if you have money, you can't buy anything.

Don’t think about selling paintings anymore. The landscape and ink painting he is good at has no market in Europe. Do you rely on selling songs? Who is willing to spend money to buy songs now? What’s more, Zhou Nan is familiar with only some light music, while in Europe, only symphony is worth a little money.

After thinking about it, this matter still has to fall on Hoffman. Even if he wants to leave, Zhou Nan will still bring all the Hoffman family. After living with them for twenty years, Zhou Nan has long regarded himself and them as a family, without any reason to ignore them.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt the more worried I felt. I had been slept in my dream and waited for death for decades, which made him feel that his brain now seemed to have deteriorated.

John seemed to feel his master's troubles, sobbed, stood up with difficulty, leaned beside him, rubbed his head between his legs.

Zhou Nan showed a comfortable smile, rubbed its head, and combed its hair along its black back.

John was a German wolfdog who had been with him for four years. From the full moon to Zhou Nan, he was Zhou Nan’s most loyal friend. In his dream, he was arrested and he was guarding outside the prison. At first, he had disappeared. Zhou Nan always believed that it was a kind-hearted person who took it in, rather than being beaten to death by others and ate meat.

This time, it was blown away with Zhou Nan in a car. Zhou Nan was injured in his head, but it was hit by the car when it jumped out of the window. Fortunately, neither of them was seriously injured. A year later in the dream, it helped Zhou Nan find Hoffman's body in the woods in Antwerp, more than 100 kilometers away.

Zhou Nan looked at its wound and found that the trauma had almost healed, but the leg bone was broken, and it would take some time to recover.

At this time, an alarm sounded again in the southern Arnhem city, but everyone was already accustomed to it. Zhou Nan looked at the desk calendar. Today was May 16th, Sunday.
