About half a month ago, when Huttier had carefully studied the course of the Battle of Ferontadenuy, he suggested to the General Staff that the German line be withdrawn to Sedan and that the mountains there be used to block the advance of the Foreign Legion armored forces.

At the same time, Hurtier was also strongly urging the German army to develop tanks, and in Hurtier's view, tanks, like naval battleships, could only compete with each other in the same tonnage class.

I have to say that Hurtier's understanding of tanks is very correct, and Hurtier's suggestion is also timely, but unfortunately, it is not quite in line with reality.

At this time, it was already very difficult for Germany to maintain the logistics supply on the current scale, and it simply did not have the conditions to produce such a large thing as a waste of resources such as tanks.

As for the retreat of the defensive line to Sedang, it is not very likely.

Sedang was about 80 kilometers from Reims and only 14 kilometers from the French-Belgian border, and if the Germans were to withdraw to Sedan, it would be almost equivalent to withdrawing from French territory, which would cause the Germans to begin to doubt the value of the results they had worked on for the past three years.

This was a weight of life that the German General Staff and even the German government could not bear.

Since this can't work, that can't work, then Huttier can only take the 18th Army to the death.

But the arm can't twist the thigh after all, and when the difference in strength is too big to a certain extent, Hudil can't do anything.

Hurtier's heart is filled with rage, and in the next battle, he will have to use the flesh and blood of German soldiers against the steel torrent of the Foreign Legion.

As for what the outcome will be, not only God knows, but Hurtier actually knows.

Like Hu Tier, Qin Zhiyuan was also full of anger in his heart.

There was an accident at the field hospital in the Romini area.

Just ten days earlier, the Japanese 6th Division had launched its only combat operation to date, and this blind combat operation had inflicted heavy casualties on the 6th Division, with 5,700 killed and more than 400 wounded.

If you look at the casualty ratio, if you don't see it with your own eyes, it feels like you've been turned upside down.

The wounded soldiers were taken to the field hospital in the Romini area on the same day, where they were treated by Chinese military doctors and French nurses.

There are currently nearly 1,000 wounded Chinese soldiers in this field hospital, as well as nearly 4,000 wounded soldiers from Annan and nearly 10,000 wounded French soldiers. There were also wounded soldiers among the Germans captured by the 17th Army, but they were not eligible to be admitted to field hospitals and could only be treated by German medics in prisoner of war camps.

Don't talk nonsense about the wounded in the eyes of doctors and the like, the virgin doesn't survive more than an hour on the battlefield.

Before the Japanese wounded were admitted to the field hospital, the atmosphere in the field hospital was very harmonious, the Chinese, the French and the Annam people got along well, and the doctor-patient relationship was also very harmonious, like a real big family.

But after the Japanese wounded were admitted to the field hospital, the harmonious relationship seemed to slowly change, and the strange atmosphere began to spread.

To explain here, there is a habit in Japan that the Japanese military department does not mind that all the members of a unit come from the same area, and the Japanese military department believes that the relationship between fellow villagers will increase the cohesion of the troops, and then enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops.

The 6th Division hails from the Kumamoto region and is also known as the Kumamoto Division, one of the six oldest divisions in Japanese history.

Kumamoto is a place where the people are fierce and aggressive, and because there are many mines in the Kumamoto area, most of the soldiers in the Kumamoto army are miners, and they have not received much cultural education, and they see joining the army as a better way out than being miners.

The Sixth Division is one of the divisions with the strongest combat effectiveness within the Japanese army, and it is also the division with the worst military discipline.

Before arriving in Europe, the miners of the 6th Division still had a certain fear of the Europeans, coupled with the strict requirements of the division commander Genjiro Akashi, so the miners could ensure a certain degree of discipline and did not cause too many problems.

But since the miners were wounded and admitted to the field hospital, the miners, who had been cared for by French female nurses, were finally revealed.

The Sixth Division was famous for its inability to control the crotch of its pants in another time and space, and the blood debts committed by this unit are innumerable, and it can be said that a large part of the reason why the Chinese hate the Japanese is because of the evil deeds of the Sixth Division.

Before the Japanese arrived in France, the relationship between the French and the Chinese was still good, although there were some deep-rooted old stubborn clamoring for "yellow woe", but for ordinary French people, especially those who had received a certain amount of education, the Chinese were not incommunicatable, nor were they so strange and incomprehensible.

At least in the hospital, because most of the doctors are Chinese, the French female nurses have a good relationship with the Chinese, and some of them even have secret feelings.

The arrival of the Japanese spoiled all this.

According to the creed of Nightingale, the "goddess of lanterns", taking care of the sick should be as attentive as a relative, and caring and friendly as caring for children.

Therefore, the French female nurses take care of the patients with special care, shushing the cold and asking for warmth is just the basic, bandaging and changing dressings is just their duty, and it is not uncommon for the seriously injured to wipe their bodies on time and even help them go to the toilet.

This is normal, a sign of the nurse's due diligence, but in the eyes of some miners who have extremely low self-esteem and desire to be respected by Europeans, it becomes a combination of blue eyes.

These miners don't want to think about it, just your height of less than one meter five, the same figure as Wu Dalang, the word obscenity written on your face, and even if you have a serious expression when you talk to people, you can't stop drooling obscene embryos, what qualifications do you have to make French girls blue-eyed!

But in the eyes of some extremely narcissistic people, anything is possible, and maybe the French chick likes her own nonchalant tone.

So one night when Qin Zhiyuan was waiting for the flares, two wounded Japanese soldiers who were about to recover kidnapped a French female nurse, these two people originally just wanted to talk to the nurse about their life ideals, but they didn't expect the female nurse to mean that, so the two miners kidnapped the female nurse to the women's toilet, ready to plot against her.

Anyway, I want to do 3P in the women's toilet, and the Japanese are really perverted.

Fortunately, they were discovered by a Chinese military doctor who was doing rounds, and the two miners did not succeed.

The Chinese military doctor immediately reported it to the guards stationed at the field hospital, and the two miners were arrested in accordance with the law.

Because of the Japanese army-building policy, in fact, the wounded Japanese soldiers in the hospital were basically fellow villagers, so when the guards arrested the two miners, a small clash was triggered, and finally fifteen Japanese soldiers were arrested.

It's really shameless.

When the matter reached this level, it was not something that Mao Shiba, the director of the field hospital, could handle, so the matter was reported to Qin Zhiyuan.

Qin Zhiyuan immediately found Akashi Genjiro and prepared to shoot all the soldiers who made trouble.

"Shooting? This is overkill! "Genjiro Akashi is proficient in Chinese, so he uses Chinese to argue with Qin Zhiyuan.

"How can it be overkill? In times of war, criminal acts should have been severely punished, especially crimes against one's own people. Qin Zhiyuan is actually not bad, even if Genjiro Akashi uses Japanese, Qin Zhiyuan can have a debate-level "discussion" with Genjiro Akashi.

"But they didn't have serious consequences, they didn't even have time to do anything to the woman, and it would be too much to sentence them to death because of that." Genjiro Akashi insisted.

Akashi Genjiro has a reason to fight, this kind of thing, in fact, if the parties are appeased, it will not cause much chaos, but if the two Japanese soldiers are shot according to Qin Zhiyuan's decision, then this matter will rise to the level of a country.

At this time, Japan was trying to move closer to Europe, and the Japanese wanted to establish a new image, a new image of a "civilized person," and an image of a "civilized person" recognized by Western countries.

In this way, there can be no news that insults the national body, and what happened in the Romini hospital is obviously news that is degrading to the national body.

Like the Chinese, this is the first time that the Japanese have appeared collectively in front of ordinary Europeans, and if such a news appears, then it is almost certain that the little national image that Japan has painstakingly built up in Europe over the years will be gone.

But how could Qin Zhiyuan let go of such an opportunity, so Qin Zhiyuan sternly refused: "This is not too much, and even this matter will not end because the person who made the mistake is punished, you must be strict with military discipline after you go back, and you must not have a similar incident happen." ”

"Of course, I have already stressed the seriousness of the military aircraft, but in this matter, I ask you to hold your hand high, and I will personally compensate the lady with a part of the cash, and promise her forgiveness, and I believe that she will not be too harsh on the warriors who shed their blood and died for her country." Genjiro Akashi wants to make big things small.

Bribery, or bribery, is the usual method of the Japanese, and of course, many times, these methods are effective.

But just like you can never wake up someone who pretends to be asleep, there are always people who refuse a Japanese bribe for some reason.

For example, Qin Zhiyuan.

This is still a matter of national interests, if the image of the Japanese in the international community is better, then the Chinese will be set off poorly, this is almost certain, because of the same East Asian reasons, the Chinese will always be compared with the Japanese, if the image of a certain country is high, then there must be a country whose image is short, poor and ugly.

Without a foil, how can there be an image.

"Qin Jun, please!" Akashi Motojiro bowed ninety degrees, and it was the kind that couldn't get up when he bowed.

"Akashi-kun, there is no accommodation to talk about in this matter." Qin Zhiyuan's heart is as strong as iron.

"So, is Qin Jun going to stick to this matter to the end?" Akashi Motojiro stood up straight, his gaze turning cold.

It's a pity that the gap between him and Qin Zhiyuan in height is still too big, and it looks very incongruous.

"We must insist that the sanctity of military discipline cannot be desecrated!" Qin Zhiyuan is righteous.

"Can I interpret this as your prejudice against the Sixth Division?" Genjiro Akashi was furious and raised the matter to racial heights.

"Whatever!" Qin Zhiyuan is not accommodating, race is race, and in international relations, everyone should be racist.

"Good!" Akashi Genjiro's face turned pale, and he turned around and brushed his sleeves away.

Qin Zhiyuan smiled, as if he had seen the end of the Sixth Division.
