Back to the Republic of China as a commander

In May, France has already begun to feel a bit of summer. The wind blows from the ground in waves, and the feeling of blowing on people is an indescribable comfort.But in Lorraine, it feels bloody and unbearably disgusting.

After the joy of victory, there is more sorrow from the living for the dead.The commander of the French army, Peden, is really a wonderful person. He knows how hard it is to win this battle.As far as the fighting power of the Germans is concerned, if it weren't for the Chinese general Bai Chongxi who broke the rules and suddenly played a bad battle, it is not impossible for you to wipe out nearly 40 German troops, but you have to spend at least half a year and dozens of yourself. For example, in the Battle of Verdun last year, the coalition forces suffered 70 million casualties, and the German army suffered 50 casualties. The war lasted from May to December.And now?In just two days, 36 German troops were wiped out.However, the price the Chinese paid for this was equally painful, with almost 10 casualties.And if Fuxi was replaced instead of himself, then the final result is likely to be that almost 20 captured German troops wiped out the squadron and successfully escaped.Although Foch advocated offensiveism, in fact what he was least good at was offense, which was proved in the Battle of the Somme.Fortunately, Petain's determination to fight was quick, and the attack order was very detailed and in place, and the Chinese were indeed tenacious enough to fight.Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous. . .

The Chinese have created the biggest miracle since the war began, so after Petain communicated with Colonel de Gaulle (who was promoted by the fire line and did not change his collar badge) who also made great contributions, he issued an order that all prisoners of war and trophies should be returned to the squadron In addition to leaving two divisions of the French army to assist in guarding the prisoners, the rest of the French army followed him and continued to attack Luxembourg. This is a tragedy for the Germans.If it were another French general, such as Nivelle, I am afraid that at this time he would not be busy taking advantage of the Germans to kill the Germans when they were weak, but would be busy grabbing military exploits and then earning a marshal rank for themselves.

But even so, Bai Chongxi simply shook hands with Marshal Pétain who admired him very much and didn't say anything. His demeanor at this moment made Marshal Pétain even more admired.

Marshal Petain naturally didn't have to follow the French army to attack Luxembourg. He accompanied Bai Chongxi and others to visit the battlefield that was being cleaned with great interest.On this battlefield ten kilometers long and three kilometers wide, 20 young lives were permanently suspended. They should have returned to their hometowns to marry and have children and become fathers.But greedy politicians sent them to the battlefield to fight each other, ruining their extremely young life and beautiful future life. . .

Although more than ten hours had passed since the battle ended, the air was still filled with blood and death. The hot weather made the corpses smell very quickly, so they had to be buried as soon as possible.According to the tradition, the French army used their weapons to force the German prisoners of war to participate in the disposal of the corpses, and these German prisoners seemed to know the rules. Tenacious, but extremely docile after surrendering, he will never engage in any struggle to prove how unwilling he is to be captured in order to ask the political workers to forgive him.In the eyes of the Germans, a surrender is a surrender, a prisoner of war is a prisoner of war, and it is right to do what you should do.In World War I, German prisoners of war were still a good job, at least there was no tragedy in World War II where 10 people surrendered to the Soviet Red Army and lived to the end of the war with less than [-].In a country that actually emphasizes human rights, the abuse of prisoners of war is likely to be regarded as a scandal.In countries that don't emphasize human rights, killing prisoners of war is not a big deal at all.Disputes over human rights and sovereignty actually arise. We can only say that patriotism has become a fig leaf for political hooligans.A country that ignores even the basic rights of people is in essence just a tool for small groups to steal benefits, and there is no need for it to exist in today's modern civilization.Although there are German prisoners of war responsible for cleaning up, Chinese officers still participate in the collection of corpses, because they are obliged to send every soldier's relics back to the country.And they were worried that these German prisoners of war would be dishonest and steal the relics of Chinese soldiers.

Everyone walked slowly along the battlefield. Although the German prisoners of war worked very hard, there were too many dead bodies. Even the well-informed French were surprised. The record was still held by the British at the Battle of the Somme, where more than [-] were killed on the first day of fighting.In general, even if there are millions of casualties in a battle, if it is apportioned to every day, it will not be much.So so many corpses deeply shocked the French army. These Chinese were so good at fighting and durable. Even Marshal Pétain couldn't help but praise: "We have always underestimated the bravery of Chinese soldiers. In fact, they are brave. Incomparable."

Dismembered limbs can be seen almost everywhere. In some areas where the fighting was most intense, the corpses of Chinese soldiers and German soldiers were even stacked together. There was even a young Chinese soldier covered in bullet holes whose teeth were still tight after death. He tightly bit the arm of a tall German soldier who was stabbed to death by a bayonet, no matter how the center military officer and the German prisoners in charge of collecting the relics tried to tear it apart.Chief of Staff Zhu Zhixin, who stood aside and said nothing, roared angrily, "Won't you use a knife to cut the bitten piece of that damned German guy?"

At this time, Jiang Baili, the deputy chief of staff who was standing aside, was surprised to find that a tear had slipped from the corner of Commander Bai Chongxi's eyes. He never cared about life, all he pursued was continuous victories, and this time he actually cried. . .

As we walked forward, the desolate and sad atmosphere became more and more intense. When we reached the position where the 61st regiment blocked the German army, Bai Chongxi saw the tearful Zhang Zizhong, and blamed the Shandong man for having his arm injured and his forehead wrapped around a white cloth soaked in blood. Weeping almost choked up: "Commander Bai, our Sixth Division is almost wiped out, and the 61st Regiment of Xue Yue, the Guangdong boy, is almost wiped out."

"Cough, cough, Zhang Zizhong, you fart, you are dead, and your old man Xue Yue and I can't die either." Just less than five meters away from Zhang Zizhong, a person suddenly stood up from the pile of dead people. Is that Cantonese guy Xue Yue?Then three more clients stood up one after another, namely Zhao Yanbin, Ma Wenyuan, and Xia Liqiu.The four of them were exhausted from fighting yesterday, and fell asleep lying on top of the dead people. As a result, the division officer who came to inspect them all regarded them as dead people, and directly reported that the 61st regiment was wiped out, making Zhang Zizhong so sad that he died.

In the end, Bai Chongxi lost his composure to Jiang Baili and Zhu Zhi in this rather comic scene: "Release to Wuhan, and request the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government to award the 61st Regiment the Verdun Heroes. These soldiers are the real heroes... "

The first hero team of the Youth Army was born. . .

In the Standing Committee Building of Tianyuan District, Gu Weijun was stunned by Wang Zhenyu's straightforwardness. He has also worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nationalist Government for several weeks. Appreciation from this great god?Happiness came so fast that Gu Weijun was stunned on the spot.

What Wang Zhenyu wanted was such an effect. He let go of his hand and reminded: "Everyone sit down, sit down, let's chat casually."

Then Wang Zhenyu asked Gu Weijun about his personal situation and work situation, and then started to get into the topic: "That's right, Brother Shaochuan, Secretary-General Ling Wengtang is here, and I invited you here by name, because I lack diplomatic staff around me now." Talent. I need a diplomatic counterpart, yes, a fellow, you understand?"

When Gu Weijun heard the three words of his own person, he suddenly felt a warm feeling in his heart. He glanced at his father-in-law, got up and said, "Thanks to Chairman Wang's respect, Gu naturally has no reason to refuse, but he is afraid that he is ignorant. On the contrary, you have missed the chairman's important business."

Tang Shaoyi also hurriedly followed up and said modestly: "Shaochuan is indeed too young, and I am also afraid that he will miss your important event, Chairman, and that would be unbeautiful."

Wang Zhenyu waved his hand and said: "What I want is Shaochuan's youth, Secretary-General Tang. Speaking of which, I am one year younger than brother Shaochuan. So age is not a problem. The key is talent and heart. Actually, It is said that there are a lot of foreign affairs masters in our country, but I don’t even like you. Do you know why? It’s because they can’t keep up with the development of the times in my opinion.”

Then Wang Zhenyu stood up and said: "The times are different. Although our country has not been unified, in the past few years, especially in the past few years, the economic construction of the twelve provinces in the south that we have completed the unification is booming. Social It has also stabilized a lot, and everyone's income continues to increase. More importantly, our army has just won the battle against the armies of great powers such as France and Germany. This is the key to our national strength. But many of our diplomats do not I have not kept up with this change. Now the great powers have weakened a lot after the European War, and we have continued to expand our influence through the east wind of the war. But this is far from enough. I need to gain more through this war. I want Yes, and it is obviously impossible for the envoy of the Beijing government in France to do this, so Shaochuan, I plan to appoint you as the head of the diplomatic delegation of the Nationalist government, and go to Paris to discuss cooperation with the British and French governments and discuss returns. Of course, I will not let you run there empty-handed. Our European Expeditionary Force can be expanded to a size of 50 people. As for loans, weapons, industrial equipment, and industrial technology, I will fight for it. If the Germans are defeated in the future , I also hope to obtain German arms, military personnel and military technical personnel. This is a huge and critical plan, which is critical to whether the current development momentum of our nation and country can continue. Members of your diplomatic delegation must Draw up as soon as possible, and it will include people who are knowledgeable in various aspects. What you have to do is to achieve what they want...
