Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1000 Moral Kidnapping

Just as Rock decided, after the expeditionary army's doctors examined Sydney, they believed that Sydney's spirit had been severely stimulated and some uncontrollable problems had appeared, so she needed to rest for a period of time before returning to the battlefield.

Because Sydney shot and killed people in a military court, he was temporarily detained in a separate two-story building in the camp of the Second Cavalry Division in Antwerp.

The guards guarding Sydney are also gendarmes from the Second Cavalry Division. Their most prominent symbols are white helmets and white armed belts. Even the holsters and pistols are silver-white. free movement inside.

It is Sydney’s comrade-in-arms Cindy or Christie who is responsible for delivering meals to Sydney every day. They will also help Sydney bring the latest newspapers when delivering meals. A wide-ranging discussion took place, not on the case itself, but on whether court-martials had the authority to hear similar cases.

This involves a term "consular jurisdiction" that is not very familiar to Europeans.

The meaning of consular jurisdiction means that when a citizen of a country becomes a defendant in civil or criminal proceedings in the country of residence, the consul of the country has the power to try and convict the party in accordance with the laws of the country.

This right mostly exists in the colonies of European countries, and it is the legal basis for colonists to escape legal trials. Under normal circumstances, military courts of expeditionary forces have no right to try Belgians.

"Today's newspaper is very exciting, and the "Times" is also torn up. It seems that the relationship between the Lord and the "Times" is true. Look at the third page. The King of Belgium also supports the court-martial against those Belgians Judgment, let's see what those people have to say." Christie put the meals for Sydney on the table, and the meals were very rich every day, and Christie and Cindy took turns guarding Sydney, fearing that any accidents would happen again in Sydney.

"I've been dreaming about Raleigh these past two days, it tells me that I shouldn't shoot in court-martial, those Belgians shouldn't die—" Now Sydney has finally accepted the fact, and it seems that her mental state is indeed not very good.

"Don't think too much about pears, those Belgians are damned, if it's an ordinary stray dog, they eat it, it's hard to avoid during the war, the Viennese ate the whole city of horses and Dogs, no one blamed the Viennese—those Belgians were wrong to hurt Raleigh, not to mention that Raleigh was a military dog, even if Raleigh was a pet dog, it was also a pet of our British Expeditionary Force, The Belgians can't hurt it, it's an offense to our British Empire." Christie is a real British, look at his way of thinking, don't care if it's right or not, what I said is right.

As for whether or not to eat dog meat, this issue is not prohibited in southern Africa. Some people don’t like to eat it, some people like it, some people don’t like the fishy smell of mutton, and some people never put onion, ginger and garlic in their meals. This is very normal. Domestic dogs eat whatever they want, no one cares about them, and people who don’t eat pork don’t make irresponsible remarks to those who eat pork, which rises to the height of morality and ethics, but if you don’t like dogs, you can scold the neighbors who own dogs. That would be overkill.

Of course, walking a dog without a leash should be scolded, and a dog that bites someone should even be killed. Walking a dog without a leash is a moral issue, but if you intentionally damage other people’s property because you hate dogs, it is a crime.

For the British Expeditionary Force, there is no room for discussion on this issue. A French army commander can decide whether the Belgian king's throne is necessary. big.

"I want to apply for retirement—" After being impulsive, Sydney still had to face this question.

"If you want to retire, you can retire. It's good to go back and rest for a while. You already have two military medals. You are also a hero when you return to your hometown." Christie did not interfere with Sydney's decision. Sydney is also responsible for this matter.

Although there is a responsibility, I don’t blame Sydney. The expeditionary force is more united than the newspaper reporters imagined. This is the same as soldiers from different troops fighting in groups. The reason for the fight is not important. The key is whether you win or not. It's good to be unreasonable. If you lose, don't care if you are unreasonable or not.

Before Xueli could speak, there was a sudden sound of brakes downstairs, and it was Don Juan, the commander of the Second Cavalry Division, and Brad, the chief of staff, who came.

Brad also held a puppy in his arms.

"Sergeant, are you okay?" Don Juan smiled kindly, and Brad greeted Sydney by holding the puppy's paw, and Sydney felt like he was in a dream.

"I was commissioned by my lord to come to see you. My lord was going to come in person, but I had a meeting with General Robert Niveller, so I was entrusted to come, look at this little guy, it was only a month old, I miss you We will become good friends." Don Juan was a chatterbox in private, and he looked at Sydney as if he was looking at his own daughter.

Sydney was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say, only the black eyes of the little milk dog in her eyes, just like the eyes of Lei Li when she first met Lei Li, full of curiosity and trust, without impurities.

"Sit down and talk, Sergeant. I heard you're not in a good mood. Can you tell me?" Brad was also very kind. When he sat down, he put the puppy on the ground, and the puppy shook immediately. Staggeringly walked towards Sydney.

"I'm very good, general—I'm sorry—" Sydney's eyes were red again. After the New Year, the Second Cavalry Division is also preparing for an attack on the German army. The generals are also busy with work, so they can take time out of their busy schedules to visit Sydney, Sydney is grateful.

"Don't be sorry, Sergeant, it's not your fault. All attacks against our expeditionary force are acts of hostility. I lost a wallet on the road, but it doesn't mean that whoever finds it will own it." Don Juan's metaphor is not It's very appropriate, but that's the reason.

"Don't think too much about the sergeant, now there is a strange saying that we are fighting with the Germans in Belgium, so we should be responsible for the losses of Belgium in the war. I don't know where this argument comes from, but I can Be sure, those who hold this argument have ulterior motives, so Sergeant, take a good rest, and I will wait for you to make great achievements on the battlefield." Brad's expression was full of disdain, and the situation he said was beyond Sydney's understanding .

This argument originated from the air strikes of the Expeditionary Air Force on German targets in Belgium after the New Year.

After the New Year, the Air Force of the Expeditionary Force launched thousands of sorties and carried out thousands of air strikes on German targets in Belgium.

The military targets of the German army in Belgium were all built in cities, and sometimes they were even deliberately mixed in civilian areas, so air strikes inevitably caused some civilian casualties.

During the offensive last winter, the expeditionary force used various heavy weapons, including tanks, cannons, and flamethrowers. It can be said that except for poisonous gas, all the heavy weapons of the expeditionary force came out.

The battle was unprecedentedly fierce. During the attack on Ypres and Antwerp, every house was fiercely contested. The brutal tug-of-war caused Ypres to be almost flattened. Half of the buildings in Antwerp collapsed after the battle. Almost all houses were severely damaged.

This result is unacceptable to some people anyway. The German army has now withdrawn and the British Expeditionary Force is stationed in Antwerp, so some people demand that the British Expeditionary Force be responsible for this.

"Those people are dreaming. Is our British Empire easy to bully? Our British Empire is indeed rich, but we have saved up the money bit by bit, and it has nothing to do with anyone else." If Don Juan's words spread Get out, the Aboriginal people in the British overseas colonies definitely have something to say.

Sydney and Christie didn't understand the situation. They only knew that the newspaper had been arguing fiercely during this period, but they didn't realize that there were so many articles behind it.

"Hehe——" Brad is also smiling, with strong self-confidence in his smile. Some people are indeed whimsical. They don't know the British well enough. Britain does not accept moral kidnapping.

At least not now.

The little milk dog wobbled and walked for a long time, the little tail was straight like a stick and couldn't be swung round, and fell halfway, and finally came to Sydney's feet, the pink nose began to touch Sydney's Sniffing and sniffing on the military boots, trying to grab Xue Li's boots and try to stand up, but fell again in embarrassment.

"It seems that the little guy likes you very much." Don Juan laughed loudly. The little guy didn't respond when he saw Sydney, and sat on the ground with his head held up, he yelled in dissatisfaction, his tits were fierce.

Finally, Xue Li couldn't help but hugged the little guy, who was only a little bigger than Xue Li's hand.

"Okay, you have a good rest, don't think about other things, you should eat and sleep, you are too thin, if you go home like this, your parents may think that Brad and I have abused you." When Don Juan left Still joking, Brad smiled like a kind little old man.

Respectfully sending the two generals away, Sydney and Christie felt like a dream. Don Juan is now one of the most famous generals of the expeditionary force on the Western Front. Christie has never had such close contact with Don Juan, and now it seems that, um——

Just as Sydney imagined, a general in southern Africa should be invincible against the enemy and take good care of his subordinates.

"The little guy is so cute——" Christie's motherhood is overflowing, the little milk dog was born not long ago, and he was probably a little tired from the car just now, and now he is dozing off in Sydney's arms: "Give it a name, this is chosen for you by the Lord himself Yes, do you still want to retire now?"

"Rayleigh, still called Rayleigh, I am not retiring, I will continue to fight the Germans until the Germans completely surrender." Sydney firmly believes that the idea of ​​retiring has long since been thrown out of the sky.
