Every time there is labor outside the town, the Turkish prisoners of war in the prisoner-of-war camp are very active in participating. When they are taken out to work, they all work hard and have good discipline.The comrades of the Prisoner of War Management Office discovered the secrets of the Turkish prisoners of war: these Turks went out to work, and when they were resting, they searched for wild marijuana all over the mountains. Dried and cut into shreds, this "tobacco leaf" is a super-sought-after commodity among American prisoners of war.In short, every time they go out to work, Turkish prisoners of war can make a fortune.

Hearing the words of the management team leader, the Chief of the Labor Section of the Prisoner of War Management Office showed a embarrassed expression on his face, "We are disciplined, and prisoners of war have the right to keep their personal belongings. As long as they are not weapons, ammunition, or sharp objects, they are their legal property. We have no right to confiscate it...Besides, this hemp leaf is not white noodles, and our domestic anti-drugs are only targeting white noodles.”

Captain: "But last time a British prisoner of war told me quietly that marijuana is a leading drug, and it also has a certain hallucinogenic effect."

Section Chief: "The British are all shit-stirring sticks. Last month, the French and the Belgians fought, and the British prisoners of war were behind them. Forget it, let them make small business. Anyway, they can't get many leaves at once. , more than 3 to [-] Americans will share, and everyone will not get much."

The "Olympics in Prisoner of War Town" was not authorized by the International Olympic Committee, but the preparation and organization of the games were organized by volunteers in full accordance with the principles of the "Olympic Charter".The participating athletes have many nationalities, belonging to more than ten countries and regions including the United States, Britain, France, Canada, Colombia, Australia, South Korea, the Philippines, Turkey, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Greece.

The only problem is that there are too many American prisoners of war. The "residents" of the prisoner-of-war town are now 44105, and there are more than 9000 Americans.During the preparations, the Volunteer Army first considered the option of participating by country, but this would give the US team too much advantage, and it would take a very complicated domestic qualifier to select the participating teams.

The final decision was to organize the participating teams according to the streets and districts of the POW town. There are 9 streets (9 POW groups) in the POW town, and the American POWs live in 8 streets, so they will be divided into 8 teams.Although prisoners of war from other countries lived in one street, they were still divided into four representative teams according to Britain, France, Turkey and other countries.

In order to hold the Prisoner of War Town Olympic Games, the Prisoners of War Management Office established a new "Sports and Entertainment Committee" and formulated the "Olympic Committee Work Code", "Journalist Work Code", "Public Security Work Code", "First Aid Work Code" and "Referee Disciplinary Code" "Code of Discipline for Athletes", the preparation of the competition venue, sports equipment, sportswear, food, prizes, chefs, etc. began very early.

Looking through the binoculars at the opening ceremony of the main venue, two large slogans hung on both sides of the venue: "Sports, the road to friendship" and "Peace, the goal of all".In the middle of the two slogans is the emblem, and the outer ring is "Fengcheng Olympics, 1952", the name of the meeting in white characters on a blue background.

"Commander Chang, what's the matter, isn't it interesting?"

Tang Hua looked to the side, and Chang Qiankun was watching with a telescope, too.

"Commander Chang, Commander Liu really intends to hide the anti-ship bombs for a while?" Tang Hua asked.

"Yes, since the Tu-2 crash last time, he has been very careful. The air force's secret weapons are well hidden. Air-to-ship missiles are more powerful than guided bombs, so they should be used where they are most effective. .And now the American warships on the west coast of North Korea do not play a decisive role in the battle situation. If we play once or twice, even if we have a record, it will not be of great help to the frontline battlefield."

"What about the gliding missile?"

"Commander Liu said that it can be used in small amounts as appropriate."

"The electronic response identification friend or foe system is matched with this," Tang Hua said. "With a useful identification friend or foe system, your air force's Tu-2 or Tu-4 can fly from north to south over the land of North Korea. , It is equivalent to the Hongqi-2 array escorting the bomber. When approaching the junction of the control areas of the two armies in front, throw the gliding bomb... Oh, before throwing it, you have to contact the army's special forces team."

Chang Qiankun: "This gliding bomb is really not simple. Tu-4 is launched from an altitude of 6000 meters and can fly 60 kilometers, 10 to 1. I can rest assured of the special forces...especially the special battalion of the 38th Army. This group of people is bold With unique skills, there is no place they cannot reach."

Tang Hua: "Speaking of the special forces of the 38th Army, by the way, the biggest fish caught by the special forces of the 38th Army is right there."

The main venue of the opening ceremony, the chief referee's seat.

In the town of prisoners of war, the four former prisoners of war with the highest military rank serve as members of the general referee committee. If there is a dispute over the penalty that cannot be resolved on the field during the game, it will be decided by the general referee committee.

Lieutenant General Walton Walker is the chief referee of the referee committee, and the other three chief referees are Major General Lawrence Kaiser, Major General Blackshire Bryan and Major General Bai Shanye.

At this time Walker was standing up and speaking on behalf of the referee committee.

After the referee committee took the oath, Willis Stone Jr., a U.S. prisoner of war, ran into the venue holding a torch.Wang Yanggong then lit the torch on the rostrum, and the Olympic flag was raised on the sports field.

"Commander of the 8th Army." Chang Qiankun said, "Army under the command of the U.S. Army. He, the commander of the 8th Army, is equivalent to the commander of our corps. The commander of the corps was captured. This American was really disgraced. So even if it is MacArthur's background , couldn’t bear this kind of failure, and finally stepped down after four months.”

Tang Hua: "We were captured by scouts and earned a lieutenant general. But Lawrence Kaiser and Blackshire, these two were captured with the army wiped out. Now there are more than 9000 Americans in the prisoner-of-war camp People, the prisoners of these two troops accounted for more than half of the 2nd Meibu Division and the 24th Meibu Division.”

……

Immediately after the opening ceremony, there will be official competitions. There are sprints, hurdles, high jumps, pole vaults, and long jumps on the track and field. The closest observation tower to Chang Qiankun was the basketball court.The first game was the 3rd prison management team (US 3 team) against the 9th prison management team 1st prison team (British team). After more than an hour of competition, the US 3rd team defeated the British team 115:45.

"The situation is a bit different," Chang Qiankun and Tang Hua watched the entire game in the watchtower because the level of the basketball game was really good. "The difference in the quality of the British team is too great."

"If the Olympic teams do this, there may be big problems in basketball," Tang Hua said, "There are a total of 12 teams participating in the group stage, and the group stage is six to four. There is an American prisoner-of-war team and two other countries' prisoner-of-war teams. If the top eight teams are from the US 4st team to the US 2th team, it will be embarrassing."

……

South Korea, Geoje Island.

"What? Last month, 75 Chinese soldiers died of illness? Brigadier General Doud, did you study in Auschwitz?!"

The UN commander, Mark Clark, yelled at Francis Dodd, the camp's top commander, in his office.

The Korean War lasted for more than 2 years, and the former two commanders of the United Nations Army never came to the place where the prisoners of war were held.Mark Clark hadn't come in for four months, or even asked.When the time came to September, Clark suddenly flew to Busan in a hurry, and then went from Busan to the prisoner-of-war camp on Geoje Island for inspection.

Brigadier General Francis Dodd, deputy chief of staff of the Eighth Army and director of the POW camp, was unprepared for Clark's roar. He thought for a while before answering: "There are more epidemics in summer. Last month, dysentery was prevalent in the Chinese POW camp, and death The rate is high."

Mark Clark turned around like a trapped tiger in the office, "Yesterday, at the negotiating table in Hwacheon, the Chinese gave us a list of our prisoners. There were 39441 Americans. Thirty-nine thousand!" And that's the number they're excluding Costa Rica's 31 from American POWs! What about us?"

"On July 2391, there were 2316 Chinese, and now it is 1951, right?" Clark took the roster on the table and flipped it forward, "In May 5, there were 3100 Chinese in the POW camp. People, now? 2316 people."

Dude: "I don't think it's a big deal. The armistice negotiations have progressed. According to the Geneva Convention, after the signing of the armistice agreement, both sides will release all prisoners of war at the same time, no matter how different the number is. We released these 2300 people, they released 39000 people."

Clark threw the roster in his hand at Dude.

"Now at the negotiating table, when we talk about the repatriation of prisoners of war, the Chinese first ask us to pay compensation for the war damage caused by the air force bombing in China! North Korea also put forward conditions. The air force bombing, ground bombardment, firearms Injured people, all compensation for losses, and," Clark said through gritted teeth, "we are also required to pay for the living expenses of the UN prisoners of war in the prison camps! The Chinese also said that they can pay each other's living expenses for their own prisoners of war in a 'fair' manner. standard of living and expenses. Guess how much dollars we have to pay them, and how many dollars they have to pay?"

Dude was silent.

"General Clark, the prisoner-of-war camp has received relevant orders before, and has always followed them." Dude said something cryptic, and Clark understood, meaning that the current high death rate in the prisoner-of-war camp is due to the execution of orders from superiors. .

"Is it an order from MacArthur or Ridgway?"

"MacArthur."

……

After leaving Geoje Island, Clark rubbed his temples, but his head still ached.

Commodore Dodd, no, it's Colonel Dodd now.Not only is his prisoner-of-war camp poor in medical care, but he has been forcing prisoners of war to write political statements and beat them if they don't write them.It is very likely that Chinese and North Korean prisoners of war were executed by shooting.

"Let the Far East Intelligence Command contact Taiwan." Clark said to the staff.

"Isn't President Chiang Kai-shek in Taiwan really wanting to send people to the Korean War? We've been refusing him, but not now. Let him send 1000 people. No, 500."

Chapter 235, The Moon of Fifteen

North Korea, Singye County.

"Geometry [-], Geometry [-], are you online?"

It was Chang Qiankun's voice on the phone.

"I'm Li Qiang, Earth Test [-] is online, and Earth Test [-] is online."

This is Li Qiang's response to Chang Qiankun at the "Earth Survey [-]" ground station in Pyongyang.

"Earth Survey [-] is online, Earth Survey [-] is online. I'm Tang Hua."

After leaving the prisoner-of-war camp, Chang Qiankun, the deputy commander of the Air Force, went to the Volunteer Army Air Force Airport near Anton, where he was preparing to take off the test aircraft.

Li Qiang, who is already in North Korea, has a ground survey center in Pyongyang. In this center, the radar of the S-25 missile base in Pyongyang, the Soviet-made P-3 radar around Pyongyang, and a set of Hongqi-1 and a set of HQ-2 air defense missile system.
