Thanks to Gu Qinfei and two friends of Broken Lingkong for the reward. The support of friends is the biggest motivation for Yutou.
To deal with traditional soldiers like Nivele, Qin Zhiyuan prepared a variety of means.
Thomson and Andre represent the image of the government, Lance and Philip represent public opinion, plus Qin Zhiyuan represents the military. This is the strongest lineup that Qin Zhiyuan can assemble now.
It was Thomson and Andre's duty to pursue this matter, while Qin Zhiyuan used certain public relations methods to find Lance and Philip.
In France in 1916, or in Europe at the beginning of the 20th century, fairness and justice were just concepts, and media people were not accustomed to wearing an independent and impartial coat. Compared with the 21st century, although they are all the same darkness
, but in the 21st century, everyone is still superficial, but in the early 20th century, it was not disguised at all.
After getting ready, Qin Zhiyuan led a group of people straight to Verdun.
Verdun is a small city in northeastern France. It has a strong fortress built on the Meuse Heights. It is the main transportation route from Germany to Paris and is known as the Key to Paris. The Battle of Verdun that took place here in 1916,
It was the turning point of World War I, and the German Empire gradually moved towards its final defeat.
The French commander in Verdun was Henri-Philippe Pétain, a man with mixed reputations. In another time and space, in the First World War, Pétain won his reputation. Twenty years later, the Second World War
During the war, Pétain lost everything as the head of state of Vichy France and was sentenced to death by the Allies, which was later commuted to life imprisonment.
Pétain was not in the Verdun area at this time. He had been promoted to commander-in-chief of Army Group Center and was currently in Bordeaux.
Joffre's resignation was irreversible. Pétain, as one of the candidates to be the next commander-in-chief of the French army, was currently active in Bordeaux, the seat of the French government. The Verdun front was under the responsibility of Nivelle, who succeeded Pétain as commander of the Second Army.
Qin Zhiyuan didn't want to collide with Niweiler or Manjing as soon as he came up, but went directly to the 45th Division.
The Battle of Verdun commanded by Pétain implemented a rotational battle method, which was similar to the Laoshan Battle in another time and space. The purpose was to allow the troops to take turns to rest, so that evil incidents would not occur due to war fatigue.
Before Pétain arrived in Verdun, the French troops in the Verdun area had a general feeling of war weariness. The soldiers were exhausted due to the protracted war. They were unwilling to attack or defend. They even refused to stand in the trenches.
Willing to shoot. The soldiers' reasoning for this was: If we don't shoot at the Germans, then the Germans won't shoot at us.
Pétain's rotational warfare method changed this status quo. Therefore, when Nivelle succeeded Pétain as commander of the Second Army, Nivelle continued Pétain's method.
The 45th Division is a rotational combat unit and has now moved to the front line. Their station is at Fortress Douaumont. Fortress Doaumont is an important fulcrum on the Verdun front line. About a week ago, Nivelle organized the troops just
After capturing this place, the 45th Division is now responsible for defending it.
After arriving at Fortress Douaumont, as expected, Qin Zhiyuan could not even enter the entrance of the military camp. After waiting for a long time, Woodson, who had dealt with Andre, came forward to receive Qin Zhiyuan and his party.
We will investigate this matter, and after reaching a conclusion, we will submit the investigation report to the Department of the Army, and the military court will handle the matter. Woodson spoke in a very official tone.
As a soldier, Woodson also hated the shooting of military family members. But as a soldier of the 45th Division, Woodson could not hand over the suspect to Qin Zhiyuan. Woodson had countless ways to handle this matter
, for example, the company of the two soldiers can be sent to attack the German positions early tomorrow morning. In this way, if they die in battle, they deserve it. If they are lucky, it doesn't matter. The Germans have countless positions waiting for them to conquer.
How is it possible for the internal investigation to find out? You didn't even look at the on-site investigation report. How can you determine who the suspect is? How can you determine how many suspects there are? Qin Zhiyuan is unwilling to be reconciled. The guilty must pay the price, and they must be treated as guilty.
They must pay the price for their identity and cannot be listed on the death list with the noble feeling of sacrificing for their country.
Woodson was only a major, and there was a huge gap between his rank as major general and Qin Zhiyuan's, so Qin Zhiyuan was not very polite.
General, please calm down. This is not the Far East, nor the Northern Military Region, nor the Foreign Legion. We have our own way of dealing with it. Woodson is not interested in Qin Zhiyuan, the general of the Foreign Legion, and he does not have much respect for him in his words.
Ingredients.
What is your own handling method? What do you mean by waiting for the investigation results? If that is the case, then I have a copy here for your reference. Qin Zhiyuan gestured and Gao Hongshi handed over a folder.
Qin Zhiyuan has done a lot of work, and this document is more detailed than the one just now. In this folder, there is Judy's testimony, as well as the whole story of the conflict between Mary and the two French soldiers, and there is also a copy of Mary's neighbor
The testimony can prove that at the time of the incident, two French soldiers came out of Marie's house in a panic.
We will refer to it appropriately, please believe me, I am also a soldier, and I also deeply hate the evil things that harm the orphans of military families. After all, Woodson could not turn a blind eye, so he took a rough look at it and then promised.
What I want is not for them to go to a military court, I want them to plead guilty, and then make them submit to the law and make them pay for the mistakes they made. Therefore, you must hand these two people over to me. Qin Zhiyuan will not give up.
Woodson pondered for a moment, but insisted on his opinion: General, please forgive me, I can't give you an answer on this matter now, I don't have the right.
Well, I will wait for the right person to appear. By the way, I will live in the manor these days. If there is any progress, please notify me in time. Qin Zhiyuan smiled meaningfully, then turned and left.
Woodson looked at the two folders in his hands, shook his head slightly and sighed. He was not the decision-maker in this matter.
General, I feel that we are doing useless work. On the way back, Lance suggested to Qin Zhiyuan: We should use the power of public opinion to put pressure on them. This is cover-up, which is also a crime, disrespect for life, and disrespect for life.
Legal blasphemy.
As a media person, to be honest, Lance doesn't care about justice. What he cares about is attracting attention. As long as he can attract attention, Lance doesn't care what kind of impact it will have.
Of course, this is why we are here. Qin Zhiyuan has already made a decision.
What happened to Marie was a tragedy, but it was also an opportunity. If this incident was used to do something, it might affect the choice of the next commander-in-chief of the French Army on the Western Front.
Using Mary's affairs to benefit Foch is Qin Zhiyuan's ultimate goal. Seeking justice for Mary in the process is just a incidental matter. As an agent walking in the dark, Qin Zhiyuan does this without any psychology.
