"We have been given 600,000 francs and 150,000 pounds, and the enemy has given us a deadline to eliminate the prisoners of war if they do not release them before sunset, regardless of the cost."

"Maxim. Wei Gang, huh? ”

"Yes, the highest commander of the enemy who negotiates with us is Maxim. Wei Gang, he was the famous French general Ferdinand. Foch's love will be. ”

Maxim. Wei Gang? Li Qi has a deep impression of him, this benevolent brother set up a "Weygand Line" during the Second World War, and then this line of defense almost did not play any role like the "Maginot Line" and lost its value, in general, it is still a little embarrassing.

In Richie's impression, Maxim. Weygand was not a tough man, as Maxim was. Weygang's series of decisions in the Second World War can be seen. However, he also knew that it was not the Second World War when anyone's personality changed because of something, such as Henry. Philip. Petain was a hero in World War I, but by World War II he was a scumbag.

Wa~er~ter. Modell asked seriously, "Captain, what is your choice?" ”

"My choice?" Li Qi smiled, he shook his head: "I don't have a choice, and it's not our turn to make a choice now, you listen to the sound of cannons." ”

Fierce and dense artillery fire came from afar, and it was clear that the armies of both sides were engaged in a large-scale, and extremely fierce battle.

"It is completely understandable that the Entente side is doing this." Leach was not talking nonsense, he made his judgment: "So many of their generals are captured, and once they are killed or brought to Germany, it will be a more serious blow to the morale of the Allied military than expected." Are they ill-prepared? Yes. However, they could only attack before the soldiers knew that so many generals had been captured. ”

The people who heard it all showed joy on their faces, and as officers, they knew very well how much an ill-prepared war could cost, and they were excited that they had participated in an operation that changed the situation on the battlefield.

Ewald. Feng. Kleist took Litchie aside and said, "What are you going to do with the francs and pounds?" ”

Li Qi immediately replied: "We are not kidnappers, so we cannot leave with any funds." ”

Ewald. Feng. Kleist was sincerely satisfied with Rich's reply, if it was to ask for money for some purpose, it was only part of the strategy, but taking the money away would make things sour, and as a soldier with a sense of honor, such a thing could not be accepted.

"Just throw it away?" Ewald. Feng. Kleist, visibly hesitant, said, "Should it be burned?" Or stay where you are and let the Entente side take it back? ”

"We don't burn it and we don't put it in place, that's 600,000 francs and 150,000 pounds after all." Richie explained some of his views on the British and French currencies, and concluded: "The sense of honor of the military makes it impossible for us to take the money, but we cannot let the French take it back for nothing." ”

Ewald. Feng. Kleist took a deep look at Richie and said, "Since you have a plan, then take responsibility for it to the end." ”

Richie didn't say anything more and nodded. Almost as he nodded, an explosion was heard, followed by an exclamation. He was with Ewald. Feng. Kleist glanced at each other, and the two of them quickly ran.

"What's going on!?"

"Captain, it's a mortar, a mortar fired from the other side!"

"Where's the hit? Has anyone been hurt? ”

"They hit the clearing, and no one was hurt!"

Obviously, that's Maxim. Wei Gang waited impatiently, and used a cannonball to show his determination to attack.

Richie and Ewald. Feng. Kleist consulted for a while, summoned some officers who had to be present, and waited for almost everyone, as the two highest-ranking military officers present, they first inquired about the situation of setting up the cordon, and finally Li Qi talked about the topic.

"Just with Marx. Feng. In General Galvetz's contact, he highly praised the significance of our operation, because our surprise attack forced the Entente to attack early. In just two hours, the Entente side paid at least 80,000 casualties, and our line of defense was still impregnable! ”

The officers who were called in all showed excited expressions, they understood the meaning of that series very well, and they knew better what kind of changes participating in this operation would bring to their lives.

Suffice it to say, as long as they were able to return to their side alive, each officer would receive at least one Iron Cross of the First Degree, and the soldiers would at least be awarded the Order of the Red Eagle or the Iron Cross of the Second Degree, and it might be a dream for the German soldiers.

In addition to the honors, most of them will also be promoted, and they will surely be better developed, but at the cost of participating in an operation that is not much more dangerous than the frontal battlefield.

"Maxim who negotiated with us. Weygang, he was getting more and more impatient, and he had just used an artillery bombardment to describe that his patience had been reduced to the maximum. We need to be on the lookout for the possibility of an onslaught, so I ask you to kill the officers closest to the generals we have captured at any time, as necessary! ”

As soon as Li Qi's words fell, an exclamation rang out.

Kill a general? If there are countless people on the battlefield who will strive for such an honor, but those generals who have already been captured and have lost their resistance, those who kill them will make people hesitate.

"Captain." Richie looked at Ewald. Feng. Kleist signaled to hurry up, after all, most of the people present were the Guards.

"Yes." Ewald. Feng. Kleist said with some difficulty: "When necessary, we should indeed destroy the enemy that must be destroyed for the sake of Germany." ”

After looking at each other, all the officers raised their hands and saluted. And at this time, an explosion came, and the first one was followed by a continuous explosion.

This time, it was not the Allied side that surrounded the field hospital that launched the artillery bombardment, but actually Litchie asked his artillery to carry out high-intensity artillery bombardment around the field hospital. Not only will there be artillery shelling, but there will also be air forces coming in the afternoon.

[Marx. Feng. According to General Galwitz, the Kaiser personally ordered the support of 200 aircraft, and the number of airships increased from a total of nine to twenty-five. 】
