Chapter 224: Mutiny

It wasn't until three days later that Qin Zhiyuan completed the reorganization.

In other words, it is only the completion of the preliminary grouping, and if it is to form combat effectiveness, I am afraid it will take some time.

This time must not be too long, and the soldiers who originally belonged to the 2nd Brigade did not have any resistance to joining the 1st Division, and they even threw themselves into the arms of the 1st Division with enthusiasm and longing.

In this process, Qin Zhiyuan played a key role in the handling of the wounded soldiers of the Second Brigade.

After only two days of fighting, there were more than 1,000 physically disabled soldiers in the Second Brigade, who had theoretically lost their value and, according to the custom of the domestic warlords, were to be driven out of the army and left to fend for themselves.

Is it cruel? But that's just the way it is.

This problem was not satisfactorily resolved in another time and space until after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and disabled soldiers have caused a heavy burden on both society and their families. Because of this, when many wounded soldiers of the Second Brigade woke up from a coma and found that one of their arms or legs had been amputated, many of the wounded soldiers were desperate and chose to end the possible future suffering of themselves and their families in an extreme way.

If a soldier dies in battle, the soldier's family will receive a large pension, but if he is disabled, the pension is not so much, not to mention, and the disabled soldier will cause a heavy burden on the family after returning home.

This is how a large part of the reason why the Second Brigade went from more than 4,000 killed to 5,000 killed.

But Qin Zhiyuan doesn't think that wounded soldiers are useless, Qin Zhiyuan's subordinates need a lot of people, as long as they are not fools, they can eat under Qin Zhiyuan's hands, not only will they not bring a burden to their families, but they will also receive a monthly salary of at least one ocean per day.

Qin Zhiyuan was deeply impressed by Kapi's sheriff Thomson, who was a demobilized disabled soldier. Thomson suffered a severe leg injury during the war, was a little inconvenient to move, and had a broken hand, but Thomson was definitely competent for the position of sheriff. When a tragedy happened to Mary's family, Thomson dared to follow Qin Zhiyuan to Nivelle to ask for an explanation, which in itself was a manifestation of his work responsibility.

Under Qin Zhiyuan's reign, Corsica had a large number of positions that needed manpower, and these tasks did not necessarily need to be done by normal people. For example, the navigator of the port, for example, the tax registrar, for example, the watchman of various units, and even the patrol officer in the city, these positions can be performed by these disabled soldiers.

All the disabled soldiers committed suicide because they were already desperate for life, and if Qin Zhiyuan could pull them at this time, they would definitely follow Qin Zhiyuan with all their hearts, and it would affect everyone around them. Not to mention it, let's just say that after Qin Zhiyuan announced this regulation, all the soldiers, including the Second Brigade and the First Brigade, had a strong sense of belonging to the First Division, and this sense of belonging was first reflected in morale.

Morale is something that can't be seen or touched, but it does exist. The 2nd Brigade had just been hit hard, and joining the 1st Division was almost rebuilding, and the blow to morale could be imagined. But when Qin Zhiyuan announced that he would retain all the disabled soldiers who were willing to stay, the surviving soldiers began training almost immediately, and they were fully engaged.

The soldiers are not afraid of death, and since they have joined the army, they are ready to sacrifice. The soldiers are afraid that death is worthless, and they are afraid that they will be abandoned by the army, society, and even their families before they die.

Qin Zhiyuan's approach completely solved the worries of the soldiers. Live meaningfully, die worthwhile, even if you don't die or live, you can receive a salary of more than ninety percent of the people of nine countries, what is there not to be satisfied with!

Qin Zhiyuan's transfer of the Second Brigade back to Paris did not attract the attention of Nivelle, who was already too busy to take care of himself.

Two days in a row did not fulfill Nivire's pre-war promise. According to Niveler's promise, Nivelle should stop attacking and change the direction of attack.

But Nivelle was not going to stop, and although there had been no progress for two days when the battle was over, the progress at the beginning of the battle was also considered by Nivelle to be his tactics that had worked, and that he only needed to push the Germans out of Shermandedam.

Nivile was now close to madness, he didn't listen to anyone's opinion, he couldn't calm down and carefully analyze the problems that had arisen in the two days of fighting, and the attack occupied all his mind, even if Prime Minister Paul Pan Lewe personally rushed to the front to stop Nivile from continuing the offensive, Nivile ignored it.

Ignoring it, Paul Panleville didn't even get a chance to meet Nivelle, who inspected the barracks at the front before Paul Panlewe arrived at his headquarters and released a large pigeon from the French Prime Minister.

Nivelle, the commander-in-chief of the French army, was personally appointed by the Prime Minister, although not during the tenure of Paul Panleville, but Nivelle was also subject to the orders of the French Prime Minister. Nivelle dared to act so boldly on the support of Lloyd Georges, but it was absurd that a French commander-in-chief should rely on the support of the British Prime Minister.

Knowing that Nivile would not stop the attack, even if he could not see Niviler, Paul Panlewe sent a telegram to Secretary of War Leothai, ordering Leotair to stop sending supplies to Niviler's troops.

Thermal weapons troops, if there is no ammunition supply, see how you fight.

This trick really hit Nivelle's death hole, and Nivelle did not care about the patrol troops, so he returned to Paris that night and asked to see Paul Panlewe, who had already returned to Paris.

How can it be so easy, Paul Pan Lewei also has a temper as the prime minister, you don't see people when they look for you, and you are bored when you go to find people.

Paul Panrowell did not give Nivelle a chance to meet either, and it was not until the next day that Paul Panleville gave Nivelle ten minutes at breakfast time.

Paul Panroe's breakfast was at seven o'clock, as had been customary for the previous two days, when the French had already begun their offensive.

The ten-minute meeting had no effect, and Nivelle refused to stop there, he had to launch another attack, and in only forty-eight hours Nivelle would be able to drive the Germans out of Shemandedam.

Paul Pan Lewe didn't want to give Nivelle another chance, and Nivelle had already said it once.

Nivelle returned to his headquarters in a rage that day, and it is said that he lost his temper at the headquarters, and he scolded everyone from Paul Panleway to Alfred Michel, the commander at the front.

But curse after curse, Nivel had to stop the offensive, not only because of the lack of ammunition, but also because the morale of the soldiers on the front line had dropped to a dangerous level.

On 21 April, the African soldiers of the Foreign Legion finally broke out, refusing to accept the assignment and shooting the white officers Manking sent to supervise the Foreign Legion, shouting slogans to end the war.

"Peace! End the war! Let those who are responsible for the war die! "Those black people are just making their voices loud.
