It was not until three days later that Qin Zhiyuan completed the reorganization work.
In other words, it has only completed the preliminary formation. If it is to form combat effectiveness, it may take some time.
This time must not be too long. The soldiers who originally belonged to the Second Brigade showed no resistance to joining the First Division. They even threw themselves into the arms of the First Division with enthusiasm and longing.
In this process, Qin Zhiyuan played a key role in handling the wounded soldiers of the Second Brigade.
In just two days of fighting, there were more than a thousand physically disabled soldiers in the second brigade. In theory, these soldiers have lost their value. According to the customs of domestic warlords, they will be kicked out of the army and left to fend for themselves.
.
Cruel? But that's the truth.
This problem was not solved satisfactorily in another time and space until after the founding of New China. Disabled soldiers posed a heavy burden to society and their families. Because of this, many wounded soldiers of the Second Brigade were discharged from coma.
When they woke up in the middle of the night and found that one of their arms or legs had been amputated, many wounded soldiers were desperate and chose to use extreme methods to end the possible future pain for themselves and their families.
If the soldier is killed in battle, the family members of the soldier will receive a large amount of pension. If the soldier is disabled, the pension is not that large, not to mention that the disabled soldier will cause a heavy burden to the family after returning home.
A large part of the reason why the Second Brigade went from more than 4,000 casualties to 5,000 casualties was due to this.
But Qin Zhiyuan does not think that wounded soldiers are useless. Qin Zhiyuan needs a lot of people under his command. As long as they are not fools, they can make a living under Qin Zhiyuan. Not only will they not bring a burden to their families, they will also receive at least an ocean a day.
monthly salary.
Qin Zhiyuan was deeply impressed by Kapi's Sheriff Thomson, who was a demobilized disabled soldier. Thomson suffered a serious leg injury during the war, which made it a bit inconvenient to move and even broke a hand, but Tom
Thomson is definitely qualified for the position of Sheriff. When a tragedy happened to Mary's family, Thomson dared to follow Qin Zhiyuan to find Nivele for an explanation. This in itself was a sign of responsibility in his work.
Corsica under Qin Zhiyuan's rule has a large number of positions that require manpower. These jobs do not necessarily need to be completed by normal people. For example, port pilots, tax registrars, duty personnel in various units, and even
They are patrol officers in the city. These positions can be filled by these disabled soldiers.
Disabled soldiers commit suicide because they have despaired of life. If Qin Zhiyuan can help them at this time, they will definitely follow Qin Zhiyuan and it will affect everyone around them. Not to mention far away
, it can be said that after Qin Zhiyuan announced this regulation, all soldiers, including the second brigade and the first brigade, developed a strong sense of belonging to the first division. This sense of belonging was first reflected in morale.
Morale is something that cannot be seen or touched, but it does exist. The Second Brigade has just suffered heavy losses, and joining the First Division is almost a reconstruction. The blow to morale can be imagined. But when Qin Zhiyuan announced that he would retain all those who were willing to stay
When disabled soldiers were disabled, the surviving soldiers began training almost immediately and devoted themselves to it.
Soldiers are not afraid of death. Since they join the army, they are already prepared to sacrifice. What the soldiers are afraid of is that their death will be worthless. What they are afraid of is that they will be abandoned by the army, society and even their families before they die.
Qin Zhiyuan's approach completely solved the worries of the soldiers. Live meaningfully and die meaningfully. Even if you live or die, you can still receive a salary that exceeds 90% of the people in the country. What is there to be dissatisfied about?
Qin Zhiyuan transferred the Second Brigade back to Paris, but it did not attract Nivelle's attention because Nivelle was already too busy to take care of himself.
Two consecutive days of attacks did not fulfill Nivelle's pre-war promise. According to Nivelle's promise, Nivelle should stop the attack and change the direction of the attack.
But Nivele didn't intend to stop. Although there was no progress when the battle ended in the past two days, Nivele believed that the progress at the beginning of the battle was that his tactics worked, and he only needed to work harder.
can drive the Germans out of Sherman Dedam.
Nivele is now close to crazy. He doesn't listen to anyone's opinions. He can't calm down and carefully analyze the problems that occurred in the two days of fighting. The attack occupies all his mind, even if Prime Minister Paul Pan Lewe personally rushes to the front line to stop it.
Nivele continued to attack, but Nivele ignored him.
He really ignored him. Paul Panrovi didn't even get a chance to meet with Nivele. Before Paul Panrovi arrived at his headquarters, Nivel went to the frontline military camp to inspect, giving the French Prime Minister a huge jeopardy.
Nivelle, the commander-in-chief of the French army, was personally appointed by the Prime Minister. Although he was not appointed during Paul Panlewe's term, Nivelle also had to take orders from the French Prime Minister. Nivelle dared to act so boldly and relied on Lloyd George.
Yes, but it is ridiculous for a French commander-in-chief to rely on the support of the British Prime Minister.
Paul Panrovi knew that Nivelle would not stop the attack, even if he could not see Nivelle, it would be fine. Paul Panrovi sent a telegram to the Minister of War Lyautey, ordering Lyotey to stop delivering supplies to Nivelle's troops.
If there is no ammunition supply for the hot weapon troops, it depends on how you fight.
As expected, this move hit Nivelle's Achilles' heel. Nivelle ignored the inspection of the troops and returned to Paris that night, asking to see Paul Panrovi who had already returned to Paris.
It's not that easy. As Prime Minister, Paul Pan Lewei also has a temper. If you don't show up when others are looking for you, you will be asking for trouble if you look for them.
Paul Panrovi did not give Nivelle a chance to meet him. It was not until the next day that Paul Panrovi gave Nivelle ten minutes during breakfast time.
Paul Penlevi's breakfast time was seven o'clock. According to the practice of the previous two days, the French army had already begun the attack.
This ten-minute meeting was of no use. Nivelle refused to give up. He must launch another attack. In only forty-eight hours, Nivelle could drive the Germans out of Sherman-Dedam.
Paul Panlewe did not want to give Nivelle another chance. Nivelle had already said the same thing once.
Nivelle returned to his headquarters angrily that day. It is said that he lost his temper at the headquarters and scolded everyone from Paul Panlewe to the frontline commander Alfred Michel.
once.
But after the scolding, Niweiler had to stop the attack, not only because of lack of ammunition, but also because the morale of the frontline soldiers had dropped to a dangerous level.
On April 21, the African soldiers in the Foreign Legion finally broke out. They refused to accept the mission and shot the white officer sent by Mangin to supervise the war in the Foreign Legion, shouting slogans to end the war.
End the war peacefully and let those responsible for the war die. Those black people have made their voices heard so boldly.
