Starting from the next day, Foch went to inspect the front-line troops to calm the morale of the troops.
At this time, the French soldiers, after the initial madness of the mutiny, had fallen into panic.
Many soldiers, including French soldiers, killed their own superiors with their own hands during the mutiny. Some even went beyond the military camp, looted villages near the camp, killed local residents and police officers, and committed atrocities against women.
The mutiny of the Foreign Legion was not stopped at the first time, which eventually led to similar tragedies being repeated, affecting almost half of the French army.
Among these mutinous troops, a large number of soldiers began to flee. They and the mobilizing troops were crowded around Paris. The situation was already at a very dangerous level. As long as someone stood up and shouted at this time, France would immediately collapse.
.
However, during the crisis, some officers still worked hard to maintain the normalcy of the troops. The generals headed by Alfred Michel did their best to maintain the front line so that the Germans would not have a chance.
The Germans themselves also had their own problems. After April, material shortages in Germany became more serious, and everyone's flour ration was further reduced. Almost all workers went on strike, demanding higher wages and better food.
Although Germany is still an imperial system, it already has political parties in the country. Unlike Britain and France, German political parties have no say in formulating policies, but they are working hard to gain a say. In March, the parliament established a special committee
, studying the issue of German constitutional reform. In April, German socialists responded to the call of the Russian Bolsheviks and demanded peace without annexation and compensation.
If there is no annexation, then Germany will be forced to hand over Alsace and Lorraine, which it has already occupied, and at the same time hand over the Sunny region of Belgium. This has exceeded the bottom line of Hindenburg and Ludendorff and attracted the military
strong opposition.
The antagonism between the generals headed by Hindenburg and Ludendorff and Prime Minister Bethmann Hollweg has become irreconcilable. Because the Prime Minister favors peace talks, in the eyes of Hindenburg and Ludendorff, Beitmann Hollweg
Terman Hollweg was already a radical in the guise of a bureaucracy, and Hindenburg and Ludendorff had to get rid of Bethmann Hollweg.
Because of Kaiser Wilhelm II's trust in Bateman, Kaiser Wilhelm II was also despised by conservatives led by Hindenburg and Ludendorff, and gradually became a marginalized figure that no one paid attention to.
Due to a combination of complex reasons, the German army did not launch an attack in time, otherwise the Germans could directly capture Paris.
After Qin Zhiyuan accompanied Nivele to take over the Guards Regiment, he rushed to Fairantadnoy.
Even if Qin Zhiyuan takes the front line for Foch, he still has to arrange the defense of the First Division. The leading troops of the First Division have already rushed to the French forward line and are preparing to take over the local defense.
Ferenta de Noy was the planned defense area of the First Division and the place where the African Legion of the Foreign Legion was stationed. It was the starting point of the mutiny.
Perhaps knowing that they would not be spared, the Fourth Regiment turned their guns and blocked the road to Ferantadnoy, hoping to use this extreme method to force the French Ministry to compromise and let them return to Morocco.
If Foch or Pétain had come over instead, they might have had a chat with them, but the one coming over was the 1st Division of the Foreign Legion, led by the most ruthless Griff, so the requirements of the 4th Regiment were destined to be
Flowers in the Mirror and Moon in the Water.
For the sake of belonging to the Foreign Legion, Greif still sent a Frenchman to ask the Fourth Regiment to remove the roadblocks. Unexpectedly, the Frenchman carrying a white flag had just approached the 100-meter range of the roadblocks set up by the Fourth Regiment.
He was shot down by someone.
Very good, this saves you the effort of talking nonsense.
Greif immediately ordered the armored troops to attack.
When setting off from Paris, both Greif's troops and Liu Zizheng's troops had received supplies of 20 tanks, and Chen Kangjian's tank regiment had also been expanded to 180 tanks. This was a sweetener for Lyautey's request for Qin Zhiyuan to send troops. Qin
Zhiyuan accepted without hesitation.
What do Africans say? If the French are representatives of freedom and looseness, then Africans don't know what discipline is at all. The African troops in the Foreign Legion, let alone tanks, don't even have a cannon, they are just standard infantry.
The kind of infantry that only knows how to rush forward when fighting with only one rifle in hand.
If you ask such people to charge into battle, they may be able to complete it with their fierce energy. But if you ask them to complete a complex task, they may not be able to understand the task content of more than ten words.
So when the tanks of the first brigade began to attack, the soldiers of the fourth regiment were dumbfounded. They no longer had the ferocity they had when they shot the Frenchmen just now. They just fired a few symbolic shots, and then...
Coaxed to disperse.
But where can it go? This is Africa, and people of color are as conspicuous as lighthouses in the port, especially black people. They may close their eyes and mouths in the dark as a good disguise, but
In broad daylight there is literally nothing to hide from.
So the original camp became the best choice. It was the place that the soldiers of the Fourth Regiment were most familiar with.
Soon, the camp was surrounded by water.
To be fair, the camp of the Fourth Regiment is pretty good. It has everything you need, including houses, schools and grounds. Just don’t compare. If you compare the camp in front of you with the camp of the Chasseurs, you will immediately see the difference.
.
The Chasseur camp not only has houses and schools, but also has many ancillary facilities, such as churches, activity rooms, reading rooms, etc., and the facilities are complete. They have been simply decorated and can meet the basic needs of the soldiers. This camp is much worse.
, there are no ancillary facilities, and many of the houses where soldiers live are just tents. Perhaps because of the lax nature of the soldiers of the Fourth Regiment, the sanitary conditions around the camp are really poor, with feces everywhere, and the wooden fences around the camp are also poor.
It was mostly damaged and looked like it had been in a state of anarchy since the day of the mutiny.
Several crosses were erected in front of the camp gate, and several corpses with their heads cut off were hung on them. This may have been deliberately hung up by the soldiers of the 4th Regiment to establish their authority or to show their uncompromising attitude, but
Now it seems that it has become irrefutable proof of the atrocities committed by the soldiers of the Fourth Regiment.
When the camp was surrounded by groups, the soldiers of the Fourth Regiment finally felt fear. They also tried to communicate with Greif's people and sent a white woman out.
There are white women hidden in the camp, and their role is self-evident.
