When Qin Zhiyuan left, he didn't forget to leave a red envelope for the child, which was not much cash, only ten francs.

This is also the upper limit of personal contacts stipulated by Lan Fang, and any more is inappropriate.

At the entrance of the hospital, Qin Zhiyuan met Duke, who had just come out of the police station, and now he was running to the hospital to visit Liu Hatshui.

Fortunately, Duke is not Chinese, and he does not have the habit of celebrating the Spring Festival, so it is not unkind to toss him like this.

Westerners are actually very self-conscious, including the police station, and most of them leave work on time at 6 p.m., even if someone reports the crime.

This does fully guarantee the rights of the police, but it is always a bit impersonal.

Qin Zhiyuan is not ready to do this in Lanfang, because the social functional department is not an ordinary service industry, and it is not appropriate to use the requirements of ordinary people to copy it.

Civil servants must have a spirit of dedication, and without dedication, it is better not to bring humiliation on themselves.

Compared with Zhang Hatshui and his wife's affection, Sergeant Major York was much more emotional here, even when he saw a senior general like Qin Zhiyuan, York had no intention of giving up.

"What do I want? My Chinese kid and that are dead, including that little cub, if the neighbors and the police hadn't come fast enough, they would have paid the price they deserved yesterday, and that would have been punishment for their misbehavior. ”

York's emotions are still excited, and the "hatred of taking his wife" is an uncommon hatred that is not so easy to eliminate.

The damage caused by the world war is far more than what is on the surface, the buildings destroyed by the war can be rebuilt, the economy damaged by the war can be restored, but the psychological damage to people cannot be repaired, it needs to be soothed emotionally, and it takes a long time.

And for York, his emotional world has been destroyed.

Perhaps in those days when he was a captive, his love for his family and his care for his wife were his only support.

Now it looks like the not-so-strong pillar has collapsed.

"York, we are all soldiers, I can understand your feelings, I can also feel your pain, but life always has to go on, the past is gone, we have to look forward, right?" Qin Zhiyuan tried to calm York's emotions.

Qin Zhiyuan can understand York's mood very well, but so what?

By mistake, since things have evolved to the current situation, it is definitely impossible to return to the past state, so we can only find a way to resolve the hatred.

Even if it is 10,000 steps back, Zhang Hatshui and his wife divorced and went to Lanfang with their children, and Zhang Hatshui's wife and York went back to continue living, that would not be the best solution, bringing it to the three of them...... No, it's four people, including children, who will end up in a long period of pain.

"Qin, I know you're a big man, and I'm grateful that you took the time to come and see me, but I won't forgive that kid and that for that. If I say something rude, if you replace me with you, what would you think? York insisted.

York's expression was indifferent, his heart had been swallowed by pain, and he could not listen to any persuasion.

If this sentiment continues to spread, it is dangerous to anger others because they cannot be vented in time, as is the case with many violent incidents that endanger public safety.

"York, I've seen your performance on the front lines, you're a very nice guy, brave in battle, not afraid of life and death. So now, when your life is facing another battlefield test, why can't you be just as brave? Qin Zhiyuan decided to take a fierce medicine.

York's performance is actually fear.

The fear of an uncertain future, the fear of no one's concern, the fear of having no emotional life.

In fact, for York, even if he doesn't have that unhappy marriage, he can start another love life, and the experience on the battlefield shows that York is not a coward.

But at the same time, York is also an extreme egoist.

Such a person can't stand the indifference of others, they are usually good at using violence to solve problems, so he used to beat his wife, so when York came home, he would lose control of his emotions when he saw that his home was already like this.

"Not brave? That's an act of dishonor, and I'm fearless at all times. "York, of course, won't admit it.

"So how are you doing now? When a woman no longer loves you, you are entangled with dead faces? Whether you love her or hate her, you have no right to do so. You just asked me, what should I do if this happens to me? So now that you understand empathy, if you were your wife, what would you do when you heard the news of your husband's death? Is it for the sake of a dead man who will keep the feast for life? Qin Zhiyuan gave a fatal blow.

Hearing Qin Zhiyuan's questioning, York was dumbfounded for a while, and then expected Ai Ai: "At least she should confirm ......"

This is a strong word, Qin Zhiyuan took advantage of the victory to pursue: "Confirm? The war is raging, thousands of miles apart, life and death are uncertain, how can you confirm that she is a woman? You are a soldier, then you should know that on the battlefield, many times it is impossible to confirm at all, such as those who were directly hit by shells and had their limbs broken, even if it is you, can you confirm it? ”

In the 20s of the 20th century, there were no DNA tests, and if you were hit directly by a shell, the most likely outcome would be to be classified as missing.

For example, the U.S. military has a similar rule, if a soldier dies on the battlefield, when their face cannot be recovered, they will be classified as missing, and they will not even be "killed".

"At least she can wait, and when I don't come back after the war, then this situation won't be the way it is now." York still wouldn't give up.

"But it's more likely that you won't come back. Your wife has received your death notice, if it were you, would you wait for time to verify the authenticity of the news? At that time, your wife had three elderly people to support, and there were two children below, what did you let her do? You don't know the origin of those two children, they are your brother's children, he is also a martyr who died in battle, confirmed by the War Department, but your brother's wife has married someone else, why don't you ask her, why don't you insist on staying and waiting for news of your brother? Qin Zhiyuan was patient.

In fact, the family of York is a microcosm of the whole of France at present.

France lost about 1.4 million people in the world war, and that's just the number of deaths, considering that the total population of France is less than 40 million.

Moreover, most of the deaths in France were young and middle-aged, so the damage of the war to France can be imagined.

"I can't ask others what to do, I can only ask myself, and my own wife." York was depressed.

In fact, York also understands that he shouldn't be more demanding, but the breath in his heart just can't be slowed down.

Think about it, when York finally escaped the hell of the prisoner of war camp and returned to his home full of hope to welcome his wife's warmth, only to find that his wife had given it to another stranger, which York couldn't accept.

"But from the moment the War Department decides that you have been killed in battle, your marriage has automatically ceased to be binding on you, both legally and customarily. If someone has to be in charge, then it can only be those guys from the War Department, and it is precisely because of their sloppiness that it will lead to the derivation of a series of things later. "Qin Zhiyuan is in trouble.

In fact, it is not a cause for disaster, if this issue is really to be held responsible, then only the French War Department can be held responsible.

If it weren't for that death notice, there wouldn't have been this series of follow-up questions.

"I ...... I don't know......" York was speechless.

"Man, I know you're sad and I can understand your pain. But we are all gentlemen, why can't we be more free? Do what a man should do like a real man. Qin Zhiyuan put his heart in his heart.

"But...... But what should I do? The war has ruined everything, it has ruined my family, I have no brother, I have no father, and now I have no wife, I will not do anything but fight...... And now that there is no war, how am I going to live, how am my mother going to live, how are my brother's children left...... I don't know, I don't know what to do, and many times I wonder, why didn't I die on the battlefield...... Why is it my brother who died and not me......" York broke down emotionally, sitting in a chair in the interview room and crying.

Under Qin Zhiyuan's patient guidance, York's emotions were finally completely released, showing weakness and powerlessness that had never been revealed.

To be honest, a seven-foot-tall man can easily arouse people's compassion when he howls and cries like this, especially York, a real tough guy on the battlefield.

"Brother, it's not your fault......" Qin Zhiyuan got up, went over to hug York's shoulder, patted York's back, and kept muttering: "Everything will be fine...... The war is over, and the greatest misfortune is gone...... As long as we can face it strongly, life will be better......"

York hugged Qin Zhiyuan's waist, leaned his head on Qin Zhiyuan's chest and abdomen, and cried heartbreakingly.

Perhaps even in the days of the prisoner of war camp, York never cried.

Perhaps when he heard the news of his brother's death, York never cried.

Perhaps when he saw his brothers dying one by one, York never cried.

But in this moment, York cried like a child.

The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place.

Even the gendarmes who were waiting on the sidelines couldn't help but turn sideways, and this scene was really sad.

It took a long time for York to calm down.

Qin Zhiyuan asked softly, "York, do you trust me?" ”

"Of course, Qin, you are a hero in the hearts of all French soldiers, we trust you immensely, we used to discuss you often, at that time, my greatest wish was to be transferred to the Fifth Army." York's eyes were still red, but he could hear the sincerity in his words.

"If you trust me, then be strong, although the war is over, the military will not be abandoned by society, you can start a new life, if you want." Qin Zhiyuan gave York enough confidence.

"I want to join the Foreign Legion and leave this sad place, is that okay?" York's eyes were full of hope.

"Absolutely! York, if you join the Foreign Legion, then I can guarantee that your parents will be bustling and your brother's children will be well cared for. You will also have a warm family again, with a gentle and demure wife, and give birth to three or five lovely children......" Qin Zhiyuan promised.

Of course, this was not Qin Zhiyuan's delaying strategy, in fact, the Foreign Legion was recruiting a large number of experienced fighters, who would be sent to Lanfang to do work that had nothing to do with their home country.

"And, of course, York, the Foreign Legion doesn't allow wives to be beaten, and if you continue to do that, I promise you'll be punished." Of course, Qin Zhiyuan has not forgotten this problem.

"Uh...... Qin, I won't. "York is clearly lacking in confidence.

At the very least, it's a relatively perfect result.
