Just as Roque imagined, although Henry was able to become a major and probably had some background, no one stood up for Henry, and Roque was not criticized at all. The French newspaper published a call for respect for medical staff the next day.
According to reports, Henry's behavior was published in newspapers as a typical example and was criticized in various ways.
Like the bearded colonel, most people are still very smart, at least they know when to say what to say and what to do.
It was Frenchi who took the initiative to come to Roque's headquarters.
When French came to Roque's headquarters, the headquarters was a bit chaotic. The staff and guards were busy packing their things. Roque was preparing to go to Flanders in two days. As the commander-in-chief of the Southern African Expeditionary Force, Roque
You must visit the front line in person to know the specific situation on the front line.
"Lord, what you did today is a bit inappropriate." French said bluntly. During the Second Boer War, Roque's status was far different from French.
"Is Henry's behavior appropriate?" Rock asked, there must be a cause and a result. Henry believed that the nurse's status was humble, so it was normal to bully the nurse to vent. But for Rock, the marshal, Henry, the major, also had a humble status.
, it’s normal for Rock to punish Henry for supporting the little nurse.
Here in Rock, there is no nonsense about adults not remembering the faults of villains. Since it is "pass", there is no such thing as adults and villains. If you want to vent your anger, no one will care if you slap yourself. Slapping others is wrong. It's not right.
If you are going to be beaten, you have to stand upright when you are beaten.
"Henry's behavior was certainly inappropriate." French had a new understanding of Roque, and then he realized that Roque's brain circuit was different from that of the British and French generals.
"Isn't that great? As a major, he actually dared to hit me, a marshal, with a cup. How should this kind of behavior be dealt with in France?" Roque's brain circuit is indeed different from Frenzi.
Frenchy was speechless. If it were Joffre, if a major from the Southern African Expeditionary Force also hit Joffre with a cup, what would Joffre do?
If you don't shoot him directly, even if Marshal Xiafei can run a horse on his arm!
"I'm not saying it's inappropriate to punish Henry, but it should be done more covertly. We now need the cooperation of the French to fight against Germany -" French said sincerely. The British Expeditionary Force has less than 200,000 people in France, and France has already mobilized
2 million troops——
so--
I can't say it, I can't say it.
"Marshal, don't worry about France not cooperating. If they are willing to die, I will be willing to bury them." Roque was always tough. Even if Britain did not send a single soldier, France would fight Germany to the death.
To put it bluntly, it is all about interests. Britain is afraid that France will lose too quickly, so it sends an expeditionary force to assist in the battle. If Germany is defeated in a short time, France can be proud and regain the honor of "the world's best army", then Britain's interests will also be affected.
damage.
Therefore, it is in Britain's best interest for both France and Germany to suffer losses.
For Roque, this multiple-choice question is even simpler. France has reasons to fight, but Roque does not. This ensures that Roque has full initiative.
"Rock, it's not as simple as you think." French had a headache. Compared with Rock, Martin was just a good boy. No wonder Rock was the Minister of Defense and Martin could only be the Deputy Minister.
"Marshal, it's not as complicated as you think. Look at those guys being kicked out of the field hospital. The French didn't blame me. Instead, those guys became typical examples of destroying the friendship between Britain and France. I think this is an opportunity and a good example in the hearts of the French."
An opportunity to reshape our British image." Roark has a good reason. He is not in this era and has no idea how absurd this era is.
For example, syphilis is called the "French disease" in Italy, Poland, and Germany, the "Italian disease" in France, the "Spanish disease" in the Netherlands, and the "English disease" among Tahitians.
The Ottoman Empire was the most ruthless and called syphilis "Christ's disease".
Therefore, it is true that white people have a tradition of blaming others, and people are also particular about the words they use. When it comes to white people, it is called blaming. If this is——
hehe--
"We are soldiers, this is not our fault -" Ferenczi frowned. When it comes to how to defeat the Germans, Ferenczi can still talk about it, but Roque can discuss how to launch a public opinion offensive. Ferenczi really doesn't understand.
"What we represent in France is the image of Britain. We have to create a public opinion environment that cannot insult the British, and then it will be subtle -" Roque didn't want to go into too much detail. If France learned it, it would be the same.
Capitalize on the enemy.
Looking back, Luo Ke went to Xiafei again, hoping that Xiafei could solve the problem of field hospitals.
"My lord, it is not easy to build a field hospital. Every inch of land around Paris is at a premium -" Xiafei also faces many difficulties. It's not that he doesn't want to build a field hospital, but his importance has to be ranked behind other issues.
But this is not the case for Roque. Roque does not care about the casualties of the French army on the battlefield, nor does he care about whether France's finances are tight, nor does he care about how much the land around Paris is worth. Roque only wants the medical staff in southern Africa to be able to
Power is guaranteed.
"Winter is coming soon, but the wounded are still living in tents and even have enough warm clothes. So what will we do in winter?" Roque did not mention the doctors and nurses. The doctors and nurses are from southern Africa, and the wounded are always French.
.
"We are mobilizing supplies. We will have enough warm clothes before winter arrives." Xiafei didn't know the specific situation. He, the commander-in-chief, is only responsible for combat operations, not a general manager like Roque.
"What about the ward? Let the wounded live in tents? What about our doctors and nurses? You let them wear thick gloves to operate on the wounded? Whose fault is it if there is a wrong blood vessel?" Rock reasoned.
If we wait for the French government to take the initiative to solve this problem, we will not be able to wait until the end of the year.
The French government is now so overwhelmed that it cannot even take care of the living, let alone the wounded who are struggling on the verge of death.
The wounded who are sent to the hospital are basically in critical condition. Even if they survive, they have a low chance of returning to the battlefield, so it is normal for them not to be taken seriously. This may sound a bit cruel, but it is the fact.
"There will be hospitals, but we need time." Xiafei is really not perfunctory. Before the outbreak of the world war, the French government and the public were very excited, but they were not prepared for the world war. They were thinking about how to teach the Germans a lesson.
Didn't expect the current situation.
"The French government will pay, and I will coordinate the solution -" Roque gave in. As long as the French government paid, Hospital Roque would think of a way.
"You will coordinate?" Xiafei was surprised. This is France, not southern Africa. Shouldn't it be the French government that coordinates to solve this problem?
In Xiafei's eyes, Roque is the Minister of Defense, Minister of War, Field Marshal of Southern Africa, plus the Viscount of Nyasaland. It is enough that so many titles are concentrated in one person.
In addition to these titles, Roque is actually the owner of Nyasaland, the owner of a large number of group companies in Nyasaland, the shareholder of almost all large enterprises in Southern Africa, and is also known as the Central Bank of Southern Africa.
The boss of Rand Bank, if you list all the names of companies related to Rock, then there is no need to write anything else in this chapter, just the names are not enough (Who said I am stupid? I am back!)
More importantly, Rock also has a confidante named Ada.
Ada is French.
"How do you coordinate?" Xiafei is a simple soldier. When the Franco-Prussian War broke out, Xiafei was only 18 years old and enlisted in the army. He has served until now and has never left the army.
Therefore, Xiafei simply does not understand how strong a person can be, let alone the power of capital.
Roque didn't even know before he came to France that he still had a lot of companies in France. Most of the businesses of these companies were responsible for selling southern African products in France, such as the Paris company responsible for car sales and the company responsible for the sales of agricultural products.
Brest Company, Bordeaux Company, which sells military products, and Marseille Company, which sells petroleum products.
The branch of Rand Bank in France is not called Rand Bank, but Bank of Nice. These companies all have a common feature, which is to be as localized in France as possible.
In addition to these superficial localizations, Southern African companies in France also have a habit that is not known to the public, which is to hire as many second generations of the French elite to work in the company. These second generations only have one similar
The title of "business manager" may not even have a fixed office, nor do they need to report to the company every day, but their salary is very high and their commissions are higher. Some people's monthly salary can reach more than 10,000 pounds.
The wool, of course, is still in the sheep. French Finance Minister Joseph Caillot's nephew works for the Bank of Nice, former Prime Minister Aristide Briand's nephew works for the Brest Company, and War Minister Alex
Millerand's nephew is a senior manager of the Paris company, and even one of Joffre's nephews works for the Bordeaux company.
Joffre knew that his nephew worked for the Bordeaux Company, but did not know the relationship between the Bordeaux Company and Roque.
As for why they are all nephews and not sons, I have to think about it myself.
The general manager of the Bordeaux company is Leonard Capet, Ada's brother. He is also the general manager of several multinational companies.
"I have my own way, you just need to pay, and I will solve the rest of the problems." Roque takes care of everything. In France, if the government cannot do something, it may be easy for companies to come forward. Just like in southern Africa,
Adé and Philip who are on the table really don't have much influence on southern Africa. If they are replaced by someone else as prime minister or speaker, their role will be similar. The ones who really have enough influence on southern Africa are Roque and Henry.
