Chapter 343 Dunkirk in 2025 (6)
The prisoners’ work was as follows:
When I wake up in the morning, I do group exercises and then eat.
The meal was so good that even the French, who pride themselves on being a country with a gastronomic tradition, were amazed.
It’s questionable whether it’s really okay to feed prisoners this kind of food.
A rich buffet menu awaited the prisoners, including steaks made with various meats every day, more than five kinds of fish dishes, more than ten kinds of salad, more than five kinds of pasta, and risotto.
In addition, a variety of breads that looked like they had been baked by professional bakers delighted the prisoners’ taste buds.
“Does the swimming farm employ a five-star hotel chef in the prisoner of war camp cafeteria?”
The quality of French military rations has declined sharply in recent years.
France, too, could not avoid the global food shortage.
However, after starting their captive life on the offshore farm, the prisoners enjoyed a luxurious life where their tongues could enjoy every meal.
“I never thought I would ever eat such delicious food every day of my life.”
“How is it that the prisoner diet is so much better than the conglomerate diet?”
What is most surprising is that the source is golden truffle oil, which costs hundreds of thousands of francs per kilo.
The prisoners were completely absorbed by the world’s finest ingredients that only Saudi royalty could afford to eat.
As expected from a country that loves food, most prisoners were familiar with white and black truffles.
However, I never even had the chance to smell the golden truffle, as it was an incredibly expensive ingredient that only the wealthy could taste.
To taste it, you had to go to a restaurant where a single course costs thousands of francs, but ordinary people couldn’t even make a reservation at such a restaurant.
In the first place, such restaurants do not even do business with the public.
“Golden truffle oil. Haa… … This is driving me crazy.”
“If you want to eat at a buffet like this outside, you’ll have to pay thousands of francs per person, right?”
“Even in Arabia, they don’t run a buffet like this. How can they keep up with the speed at which the golden truffle oil is used up?”
The prisoners could see that they were experiencing luxuries that even royalty would not dare to enjoy.
The overly luxurious quality of the food meant that at every meal the prisoners were in danger of forgetting their situation.
But the forced daily routine, divided into morning and afternoon, reminds them that they are prisoners.
* * *
After breakfast, the prisoners take their bedding up onto the deck to dry in the sun.
In addition, they wash their underwear, socks, pillow sheets, and orange prison uniforms by hand.
The android supervisor ordered that the prisoners be washed as soon as they woke up, including their underwear and prison uniforms.
“Your bodies emit a foul odor from the sweat. That’s why you must wash the clothes you wear the next day.”
“Change your everyday clothes every morning. Change your underwear twice a day, once in the morning and once before going to bed at night.”
Even though the work was divided into parts, having to hand wash the clothes I wore every day was no easy task.
After finishing the morning work, I have another sumptuous lunch and feel like an emperor before starting the afternoon work again.
“France, like other imperialist countries, used proselytization as a weapon to create an excuse to invade Joseon. This time, we will learn about the nature of the Byeong-in Yangyo.”
“Let’s find out about the war crimes committed by France during its colonial rule of West Africa.”
“The Korean cultural assets that France plundered have not yet been returned.”
“Let’s find out why France is called the China of Europe.”
During the afternoon training session, the prisoners were required to receive a detailed education on the historical crimes committed by France.
After the training time is over, there is a final review.
“Let’s do some free writing about what we learned today.”
Given paper and pens, the prisoners began to write, racking their brains.
All prisoners were diligent in writing, as the best works were selected every day and generous prizes were awarded.
The top 10% of all prisoners will be selected and given one day of free rest.
If you make it into the top 10% today, you can rest and play comfortably tomorrow without being touched by anyone. Of course, tasks such as laundry and housework are excluded.
However, once the prisoners have tasted the taste of free rest, they participate in the afternoon training even though it is not mandatory. It is to win the writing award once again.
Of course, he is different from other prisoners.
Anyway, since you are on a free break, you can listen while sitting or lying down in a comfortable position. If you get tired in the middle, you can take a short nap.
In contrast, other prisoners are forced to sit upright and take classes in a straight posture. It is obviously impossible to fall asleep.
If there is any disturbance in the posture while listening to the lecture, a warning or corporal punishment will be given.
“Your writing is terrible. You must have had other thoughts during the disciplinary training today.”
“Oh, no! I really listened hard! It’s just that I’m bad at writing… …!”
“Your dinner today is Course B.”
“Oh, no!”
If you fall into the bottom 30% of the writing competition, your dinner will be replaced by tasteless bread and corn soup.
A measure to fill only real calories.
This also did not apply to those on free vacation, as they had only the right to participate and had no obligation to participate.
That’s why the prisoners desperately racked their brains every day to somehow avoid being in the bottom 30%.
And the work that wins the grand prize will have copies posted throughout the facility for everyone to see, and the winner will be able to choose one of the traditional Korean liquors, such as Bokbunjaju, Makgeolli, and Andong Soju.
The amount was enough to feed the entire squad of ten, so the top-ranking prisoner was crowned squad hero.
This alcohol is allowed to be consumed only in the evening during meal times (any time is allowed for those on free rest). Since dinner is personal rest time, drinking begins then.
The first grand prize winner spent his time drinking all the alcohol with his squad mates.
But over time, alcohol began to function as currency.
The liquor owners used it mainly to buy free rest passes.
There is only one alcohol winner per day, but there are 10% of free break winners.
“Instructor, I’m going to buy this guy a bottle of alcohol and a day off.”
“Okay. I have confirmed the transfer of the free rest pass.”
You can just report it to the Android instructor.
The camps recognized reasonable transactions, but not transactions involving violence or threats.
The top winners used the free time they earned frugally.
Rather than just playing around, I studied history in the mornings when others were busy working hard.
The facility’s library did not have any paper books, but instead had tablets that allowed access to every book published around the world.
They studied French and Korean history at the library and prepared for the afternoon political education and essay competition.
“Arthur this time? Isn’t that the fourth time he’s been the best?”
“The library club is eating everything up, so there’s no way to get through this.”
A group of students who lived and studied in the camp library arose, and they were called the Library Club.
A little less than 20 of them had won the grand prize, and they were saving the alcohol they received back then and buying a one-day free break to study at the library every day.
Others waste their energy doing laundry, cleaning, and organizing all morning before attending the afternoon training.
On the other hand, the Library Club prisoners study French and Korean history, giving them ample time to think ahead about how they will write after their formal education.
Because of this, at some point, the library club took turns monopolizing the grand prize.
Even if they wanted to win the grand prize, it was impossible to break their stronghold.
The top 10% of prisoners who had received a one-day free break tried going to the library to study, but it was impossible to catch up with the accumulated knowledge and experience.
Those who had initially devised the library strategy had a high level of academic enthusiasm, so the top 10% of prisoners who had received a free day off simply spent the morning leisurely.
And the library club further solidified their cartel.
“Damn. I’ve been feeling under the weather these past few days and I’ve lost all my free time passes. Can someone please lend me a bottle of alcohol to buy me a free time pass?”
“Here it is. Pay me back later.”
“Thanks, buddy.”
A tight bond developed among the library club’s fewer than twenty members.
At first I thought everyone was competing, but I soon realized that there was no need for that.
‘I don’t necessarily have to receive the best award. It just has to come from our club.’
‘If club members help each other, we can prevent further competition and monopolize the best award.’
The club members decided to become singular rather than plural.
While studying history, they all put their heads together to discuss how they could write better essays in the essay competition.
When they made alcohol as a commodity, they divided it among themselves fairly according to the order.
When someone lost their right to rest due to illness or poor physical condition, those who had spare time lent them alcohol, and the debtor purchased a right to rest outside the club and continued to participate in the study.
By working together like this, blocking the creation of new competitors, distributing profits internally, and growing competitiveness through collective intelligence, the best award winners no longer come from outside the library club.
But the Android instructor did not stop him.
Anyway, they were a group with a strong passion for learning, and they combined their collective intelligence to submit better quality writings in the daily writing competition.
Rather, thanks to their active collusion, the quality of the best writing has improved day by day, and as a result, the quality of writing in the prisoner as a whole has also increased.

?Discuss freely about the hypothetical situation in which France becomes a colony of Korea.
Today, after the political training, we were given a unique writing topic.
A topic that is completely different from what I was taught.
The prisoners were confused and started muttering, but soon they picked up their pens and started racking their brains.
The only people who weren’t at all flustered were the members of the Library Club, the highest collective intelligence group in the POW camp.
“This topic is finally coming up.”
“Okay, now that we have enough basic knowledge, it’s time to bring up this topic.”
“This war is completely hopeless. France will not win.”
“It would be more tragic if it ended with a peace treaty. Because we would be returning to the 45nm semiconductor era. We would be returning to a world where people travel by steam train. It would be terrible.”
The library club members picked up their pens and began writing down the thoughts they had organized in their heads.
“The hypocritical national spirit of France, which is belligerent, cruel, and racist as if breathing, while outwardly calling itself a democratic country, has reached a level so miserable that even if Hwanung were to get angry and spit out lightning, there would be nothing to say… … .”
“Then, His Excellency Marshal Ha Su-yeong, a descendant of the great Dangun, personally raised an army to rebuke the foolishness and barbarism of France… … .”
“The spirit of Hongik Ingan will surely benefit all of Europe, starting with France. Ah! Your Excellency the Marshal! Just imagining it makes my heart swell with excitement and I can’t hold back my tears!”
“As proud residents of the Seafaring Penitence Facility, we will forever follow the leadership of the great Swimming Federation.”
