I was a tycoon in World War I: Starting to save France.
Chapter 566 Only Charles can do this
Charles first looked for the stationmaster, a Frenchman named Donadi, instead of the British.
Charles believed that the British were “not of our kind” and that it was the law of the jungle to take advantage of them. What was even more hateful was the French who sold out their own country’s interests.
However, Donadi’s answer made Charles unable to hate them.
Donadi looked at the aggressive guards and knew that the major general in front of him was the world-famous Charles, and he was so scared that he trembled all over on the spot.
“General.” Donadi replied in a trembling voice: “Please, please believe me, I don’t want to do this either. But this is an order from my superiors. If I don’t execute it, I will immediately… lose this hard-earned job!”
Donadi’s eyes were full of begging, as if he was saying that the struggle between the big guys didn’t bother us small characters, and any casual impact on innocent people could make our family hungry.
Charles was speechless for a moment.
It was Nivelle’s problem. He was a pro-British person, and could even be said to be half British.
Although he has stepped down, Foch has not yet taken over, and there is a vacuum period of power transfer.
At this time, the British captain may have seen the commotion here. He walked forward quickly with several guards and shouted arrogantly: "What happened? Why don't you get in the car?"
Charles did not answer. He stared at the British captain and asked coldly: "When did you have priority?"
The British captain shone a flashlight and saw that the person standing in front of him was a major general. His arrogance was immediately restrained, but he still put on a disgusting gentleman's appearance and answered with his chest puffed out: "I don't remember, General, it probably started from the day of the attack!"
Then he asked back in an aggressive tone:
"Isn't this what we should do? We are here to help you fight, otherwise the Germans would have reached Paris long ago!"
"We have made great sacrifices for France, General, tens of thousands of British soldiers are dying every day!"
"We just hope to rescue these wounded as soon as possible. I don't think there is anything unreasonable about this..."
Charles never thought there would be such a statement. Britain is helping France fight?
Britain did not join the war because of France. Germany declared war when it attacked Belgium. Before that, Britain had already started a maritime competition with Germany.
Just because the battlefield was in France, did it mean that it was helping France?
Britain even tried to infiltrate and control France. They actually called this "help"?
"Captain!" Charles interrupted the British captain, his voice was calm, and he was also gentlemanly: "If you think you are helping France fight, why don't you withdraw your troops and quit the war?"
The British captain was stunned. He didn't expect Charles to respond like this.
"I hope you can understand a little bit." Charles said jokingly: "If Britain has to join the war for its own interests, it is not a "help" relationship. What's more, the British set a record of 100,000 casualties in one day, which forced us to deal with a large number of corpses. You still owe us a thank you."
The guards laughed. The British army had 100,000 casualties in one day and tried to conceal the truth. It has long been a scandal for the British army, especially Haig.
The British captain was so angry that his face turned pale. He could not keep his pretense and responded with a stronger tone: "I also hope you understand one thing, General. Many of France's supplies are provided by Britain, including medicines and medical equipment, so..."
Charles asked back: "Aren't these supplies exchanged by France with money and blood?"
The British captain was speechless for a moment. The supplies provided by Britain were indeed purchased by France rather than free aid, and some were high-interest loans.
As for blood, he knew that it referred to the large number of French wounded soldiers stranded in front of him.
Charles was unwilling to talk nonsense with the British captain. He directly ordered: "It has been almost a month since the start of the war, and you have enjoyed a month of priority transportation. Then from now until next month, it will be the time for priority transportation of French wounded."
"No, you can't do this!" The British captain took a step forward, and his right hand unconsciously rested on the revolver at his waist.
But before he could make any further moves, the guards moved with a "whoosh", and several rifles were immediately pointed at him.
"Captain." Stationmaster Donadi trembled and whispered, "He is Charles, there is nothing he can't do!"
This ignorant guy, if he dares to shoot Charles, we will be eaten alive by the angry crowd.
The British captain looked up at Charles as if he was electrocuted. The young major general in front of him was actually Charles?
The Charles who was called "France Mars" and had just defeated the Germans on the Somme River and advanced 5 kilometers?
He thought he was a nobleman who sneaked into the army to "experience life" on the battlefield!
At this time, the situation had spread out of the train station quickly, and it became more and more outrageous:
"You know? Charles had a dispute with the British at the station, about the transportation of wounded soldiers."
"What? Charles fought with the British, about the wounded?"
"Are you serious? The British are going to shoot Charles?"
...
The French soldiers quickly took action, whether they were staff or wounded soldiers, as well as the townspeople who rushed to the scene after hearing the news, as long as they could move, they were all organized, even nurses and doctors participated in it, they also took pistols from the soldiers, shouted and cursed and rushed into the train station to surround all the British.
"You bastards, this is France."
"Stay away from Charles, or I'll show you what's happening."
"Get out of here, France doesn't welcome you bastards!"
...
The crowd held weapons in their hands, scrambling to squeeze forward fiercely, some even physically provoked the British soldiers, waiting for them to take action before counterattacking.
The British soldiers were frightened and retreated step by step with pale faces. Some of them couldn't help but look back at the British captain, hoping that he could see the situation.
Charles raised his hand in time to stop the crowd from taking further action.
He glanced at the British captain, raised his head and shouted to the crowd:
"Just now, I have reached an agreement with the British."
"Since there are more French wounded stranded, from now until next month is the priority time to transport French wounded."
"We both think this is reasonable."
Said Charles turned his eyes to the British captain and asked meaningfully: "Am I right, Captain?"
The British captain looked very ugly, but still nodded reluctantly: "Yes, General, I, I completely agree."
The train station burst into cheers, the wounded cried with joy, and rushed to spread the good news.
This is the benefit that Charles has fought for them. Only Charles will care about them, and only Charles can do it, to win time, life, and dignity from the arrogant British!
