Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1063

There are many camps like the Ninth Prisoner of War Camp on the Western Front, some of which are managed by French troops, some by American troops, and some by the British Expeditionary Force.

Generally speaking, the prisoner-of-war camps managed by the British Expeditionary Force are in the best condition. Not only can the wounded be treated effectively, but the food supply in the prisoner-of-war camps is relatively sufficient. For example, in the prisoner-of-war camps managed by the British Expeditionary Force, prisoners of war can keep some of their personal belongings, which is also a manifestation of humanitarianism.

After all, it is 1917, so the soldiers of the British Expeditionary Force cannot be required to use too high a moral standard. When prisoners of war enter the prisoner-of-war camps managed by the British Expeditionary Force, they will also be required to hand over all their belongings, but those with special commemorative significance can be kept. Such as wedding rings, such as family photos and so on.

This gives some people a loophole, such as Corporal Schneider from Hannover, he has a gold ring, Schneider claims that the ring is his wedding ring, but anyone who knows Schneider knows that Schneider is not married at all.

"I didn't deceive anyone. After the war, I will go back to my hometown and use this ring to propose to my beloved Jasmine, so this is my wedding ring." Whenever someone questions Schneider's character , Schneider would explain it this way.

However, such an explanation will make more people hate Schneider. Lying is a very bad habit. Some people always talk nonsense, and it seems that they have not noticed that the habit of lying will seriously affect people's perception of him.

I don't know how that Jasmine (Jasmine) fell in love with Schneider.

Oh, considering Schneider's character, maybe there is no such person as Jasmin.

"Use a snatched ring to propose to a girl, Schneider, thank you for thinking of it." Schneider's fellow countryman, Fisher, hates Schneider very much. Every time Schneider said this, Fisher would mercilessly expose him lie.

"So what, this is the spoils I deserve. You are completely jealous." Schneider is not ashamed. There are actually many people like Schneider in the prisoner-of-war camp, but others will be more or less restrained. There are really very few people like Schneider who are not ashamed but proud.

"Assemble the second squadron, assemble immediately—" The voice of the guard came from a distance, Schneider and Fisher acted quickly, the management of the prisoner-of-war camp is very strict, procrastination will be punished, and work will also be punished, generally Under normal circumstances, the punishment content is confinement, or the food is halved or even cancelled.

The task of the No. [-] Squadron today is to clean up a village that was destroyed by the war. There are only a dozen families in the small village. The people in the village ran to their deaths. Now no one lives there, and all the houses have become ruins. There may still be corpses buried in the ruins. The task of the Second Squadron is to clean up all the ruins and bury the corpses if there are corpses in the ruins.

The organization of the prisoner-of-war camp is not fixed. A brigade has about 1000 people, and a squadron has about 100 people. There is no such organization as a small team.

100 people cleaned more than a dozen houses, and the efficiency was still very high. Although Schneider and Fisher did not like each other, they were in the same team, and their team was responsible for cleaning a half-collapsed house.

Walking along the scorched stairs to the second floor, moving the collapsed door, and walking into the only room that was still intact, Schneider and Fisher found a dead body in the corner of the room.

During the process of removing the body, Fisher discovered a ring on the finger of the corpse.

A gold ring inlaid with a precious stone. The precious stone looks very beautiful. It is the emerald that the Germans like most. It is as big as a thumbnail. For a moment, both Fisher and Schneider began to breathe quickly.

"Brother, let's discuss—" Schneider took off the ring on his finger and wanted to exchange it with Fisher.

"What do you mean?" Fisher is not stupid. A ring inlaid with gemstones is definitely more valuable than a ring without gemstones, but the key problem is that this ring does not belong to Fisher and Schneider. According to the regulations of the expeditionary army prison camp, Any property found during work must be turned in in time, otherwise there will be trouble.

"Brother, look, there are only two of us here, but there is only one ring, so I will give you my gold ring, and you give me this ring, and we will each have one. What do you think of this suggestion?" Schneider The suggestion sounds reasonable, but I always feel that something is wrong.

"Schneider, aren't you going to use your ring to propose to Jasmin? You changed your mind so soon?" Fisher sneered.

"Isn't it more sincere to propose with a ring inlaid with gemstones!" Schneider couldn't wait, put his ring into Fisher's hand with one hand, and was about to grab it with the other.

"Schneider, don't be impulsive, think about the consequences of doing this—" Fisher didn't want to be implicated because of Schneider's greed.

"What are the consequences? As long as we don't tell, no one will know. Come to think of it, such a ring might sell for twenty pounds. If you don't want to, we'll sell the ring and divide the money." What do you think?" Schneider is actively thinking of a way, if it is a peaceful time, Schneider must be a good hand in business.

"Stop daydreaming, Schneider, I don't want to cause trouble—" Fisher resolutely refused, and walked towards the stairs with the ring.

Fisher didn't notice that Schneider behind him was holding a wooden stick in his hand. When Fisher turned around, Schneider's expression was extremely ferocious.

But Schneider did nothing after all.

Walking to the street in the center of the village, Fisher was about to give the ring to the soldiers guarding them, but found that the soldiers were interrogating a German prisoner of war named Bayer.

"Where did this pocket watch come from?" The soldier held a golden pocket watch in his hand. The dial of the pocket watch was inlaid with many diamonds, shining brightly under the sunlight. This kind of pocket watch is actually not very valuable, and diamond consumption is still low. Compared with diamonds, Europeans are still more in pursuit of various gemstones, but compared with ordinary pocket watches, pocket watches inlaid with diamonds are still expensive.

"Yes, it's mine, it was given to me by my father—" Bayer's face was pale, and he forced himself to be calm, his eyes were wandering, and his body was trembling slightly.

"Oh, what's your name?"

"Bayer—Bayer Fox—"

"Where are you from?"

"The Bayers—"

"Then can you explain why a German from Bayer owns a pocket watch produced in southern Africa and sold in France?" Before the outbreak of the world war, it may never have been in France.

"My father fought in the Franco-Prussian War—" Bayer Fox volunteered, which was a very reasonable explanation.

"Okay then, I'll save it for you first, and when I get back to the camp, if it is confirmed that it is indeed yours, then I will return it to you—" The soldier put the pocket watch into his pocket casually.

"I have already proved it?" Bayer Fox was dumbfounded.

"What did you prove? You didn't prove that this pocket watch is yours. Don't you think that we didn't record your belongings? After returning to the camp, just check the information and you will know that you came When I was in the prisoner-of-war camp, what did I carry on my body--" The soldiers showed their trump cards. When these prisoners of war came to the prisoner-of-war camp, they did not know how many times they were searched, and their belongings were pitiful. Such a pocket watch has a high probability The soldiers who had been captured by Bayer had been searched and taken away, and it was impossible for Bayer to wipe out the prisoner-of-war camp.

Although Rock is unwilling to admit it, and although the British Expeditionary Force prides itself on being "humanitarian" at every turn, some problems within the British Expeditionary Force are still unavoidable.

Although no one asked the question, many people cared about it: France is not Britain, so why should a British come to France and fight for the French?

Don’t talk about democracy and freedom to the soldiers. Most soldiers are ordinary people who have never received any education. They don’t understand what democracy and freedom are, and they don’t want to understand. Come all the way to France, then we have to get something.

As the commander-in-chief of the British Expeditionary Force, Rock must understand what the soldiers under his command are thinking and protect the interests of the soldiers.

Bayer Fox really didn't think that much, or Bayer Fox was fascinated by the pocket watch studded with diamonds, confused his heart, and his greed eventually killed him.

"Do you still want this ring now?" Fisher asked Schneider maliciously.

Schneider was dripping with sweat, his eyes were shaking and he shook his head.

Fisher didn't talk nonsense, and directly handed over the ring to the guarding soldier, and received a compliment from the guarding soldier, as well as a pack of half-smoked cigarettes.

Fisher returned to his group with cigarettes, just one for each.

"Thank you Fisher, I almost made a mistake just now—" Schneider took the initiative to thank Fisher.

"You're welcome, we all have to be careful, don't think that these British people are good to us, we can deceive them casually, they are not stupid, look at Bayer Fox, this guy will definitely be unlucky when he goes back, maybe he will be locked up " Fisher seized the opportunity to educate Schneider, if the British are fools, then what are the Germans defeated by the British?

Big fool? ! !

Thinking of those people who were locked up and had to be carried out of the room, Schneider was in a trance again. No matter how powerful they were, they would grin their teeth when they mentioned the room. Some people even Can be incontinent, the expeditionary army does not beat or swear, but they have more effective means of punishment.
