On the fourth day after capturing Elbecourt, Qin Zhiyuan received a telegram and was summoned by Foch.
After receiving the telegram, Qin Zhiyuan and Pierre went to Amiens together, preparing to listen to Foch's teachings.
The traffic conditions on the road from Cappi to Amiens have not improved at all, with craters and muddy roads, slow-moving convoys and tired people.
It's already winter. The temperature has dropped a lot in the past few days, and snowflakes are floating in the sky, making it even more desolate.
Most of the troops heading towards Kapi are newly formed troops, and the majority here are British. The British are constantly expanding the scale of the expeditionary force. Almost every week, one or several new divisions will start from the British mainland.
Most of those heading towards France and Amiens were wounded or civilians. Amiens was not their destination. They had to continue walking south until they reached Paris or Orleans before they could find a temporary shelter.
Since the beginning of winter, all fronts have reached a stalemate. The attack launched by Qin Zhiyuan was a rare victory on the Western Front in the past month. It is for this reason that Qin Zhiyuan has attracted so much attention.
On the second day after Qin Zhiyuan sent his troops to capture Elbecourt, Pétain agreed with Nivelle to launch an attack on the German positions on the east bank of the Meuse River. Nivelle drew on Qin Zhiyuan's experience and played a trick. He mobilized
650 heavy artillery bombarded the Duvamont fortress. After firing 15,000 tons of artillery shells, the French stopped bombarding. The Germans thought the French would attack, but the French did not. Thousands of soldiers cheered together as prearranged. The Germans felt
Being ridiculed, they used camouflaged artillery to bombard the French positions. During the exchange of fire, 68 of the 158 German heavy artillery batteries were destroyed, and the remaining ones lost their accuracy due to overuse.
With sharp artillery, the French recaptured all the areas on the east bank of the Meuse River in one day, and Nivelle became France's new hero overnight.
Qin Zhiyuan relied on the flexible use of artillery to capture Elbecourt and won the opportunity to upgrade the 6th Regiment to the 1st Brigade. Nivelle also relied on the flexible use of artillery to capture the east of the Meuse River.
Shore and became a hero of France.
This is the difference between a godson and a biological son.
On the way to Amiens, Pierre and Qin Zhiyuan were talking about Nivelle.
Nivelle is not a hero at all, he should be a butcher. It is because of the stupidity of Nivelle and Falkenhayn that Verdun became a meat grinder. Pierre died for the 150,000 people who died in Verdun.
French soldiers complained.
Because Pierre was accompanying him, neither Misha nor Gao Hongshi followed Qin Zhiyuan. There were only Qin Zhiyuan, Pierre and driver Gary Buell in the car.
Don't care whether he is a hero or a butcher, he is the winner, this is the key. Qin Zhiyuan reveals the secret.
The Germans also suffered a lot of losses at Verdun, with about 140,000 people killed. Compared with the British and French allied forces who were constantly receiving reinforcements, the German losses were even more heavy. For this reason, Falkenhayn was demoted to Romania, and Ludendorff took office.
After Ludendorff took office, he made adjustments to the defensive layout on the Western Front. The positions on the east bank of the Meuse River were not so much captured by Nivele as they were abandoned by Ludendorff on his own initiative.
The war has been going on for two years, and Germany's human resources have gradually depleted. Ludendorff is trying to use more flexible combat methods to avoid fighting with the British and French forces. The Germans cannot afford to fight. They do not have a huge colony with almost unlimited human resources.
.
The Germans started the war because of the British and French colonies, and now the Germans are also losing because of these colonies.
Qin, I just discovered that you are an egoist. Pierre looked serious.
Don't worry about what I am, you understand that now we fight side by side. History books are always written by the victors. If the victors of the war are the French, the French can describe the lunatic German Emperor Wilhelm as a madman. And if he is
If the Germans win, British Prime Minister George and French President Raymond will become clowns. Qin Zhiyuan looked at the documents in his hand and answered casually.
Kaiser Wilhelm II, due to a breech delivery at birth, suffered from Erb's palsy and atrophy of his left arm. Because of the physical defects, Wilhelm II's character became ambitious and impulsive.
Qin Zhiyuan did not have the slightest fondness for Wilhelm II. The first wave of Yellow Peril theories in the West was initiated by Kaiser Wilhelm II. On June 19, 1900, German Minister Klind was killed in the Qing Empire, and Wilhelm II was determined to take revenge.
China then dispatched an expeditionary force of more than 20,000 people to China. Before the troops left, William gave a speech to them, encouraging the German troops participating in the battle to follow the Huns' approach to the Qing Empire.
Oh, hearing Qin Zhiyuan's words, Pierre responded meaningfully: So this is how your country's 5,000-year history came to be.
The greatness of Chinese civilization lies in the fact that written records have never been interrupted, and all historical facts are well-documented, so we are confident in talking about it since ancient times. Compared with China, Europeans are much worse in this regard, needless to say, even if
It was the Middle Ages, and Europe was all in a state of confusion. Even their own people couldn't understand the history of their own countries.
I told you that you may not understand that in our country, all the dynasties before the Qing Empire had a position called historian. This official position was born specifically to record history. Qin Zhiyuan did not mind doing popular science, closed the document and said seriously
.
How to record according to the winner's wishes? Pierre's tone was a bit mocking.
It depends on who the winner is. About two thousand years ago, there was a country called Qi in the Far East. The emperor of this country was a minister. He later murdered the emperor and then sat on the emperor's throne.
The historian at that time recorded the incident truthfully. Because the emperor did not want to leave a bad reputation, he killed the historian. The historian's younger brother continued to record it truthfully, and then the historian's younger brother was also killed. What Qin Zhiyuan said is
Cui Zhu killed Duke Zhuang.
How disgusting, and then Pierre expressed his admiration for the historian's integrity.
Upright people will never be intimidated. The historian's other brother continued to record truthfully, and the emperor finally admitted defeat. Just after the emperor admitted defeat, a friend of that historian came in a hurry. The emperor asked him why he came. The historian's friend said
I'm afraid no one would dare to record it truthfully. I came here to seek death. After Qin Zhiyuan finished speaking, he looked at Pierre meaningfully and smiled.
This was really admirable. Pierre was fascinated by it.
Yes, it is indeed admirable. In this story, the winner is not the emperor, but the historians who are not afraid of death. They are the winners. Qin Zhiyuan is very proud, this is the ancestor of the Chinese nation, Qin Zhiyuan
There is reason to be proud.
The historian system was still followed in the Ming Dynasty, so the absurd deeds of the Ming Dynasty emperors were handed down. Although there were some exaggerations and slanders by the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, they were all recorded by the historians of the Ming Dynasty.
It is a pity that in the Qing Dynasty, the most shameless scene in Chinese history occurred. The Manchu rulers destroyed and tampered with various historical books on a large scale, and the Chinese people's attitude of writing history with integrity disappeared.
