"Bastards, these bastards! Are they fools when I am? Although it was late at night, the general's angry roar could be heard from General Gioulai's tent.
"And you, you fools, do you believe whatever they say? Bah, I can eat it to increase courage, and eat it to make the temporarily conscripted troops fight fearlessly like the elite? Do you believe this? You've read too many third-rate knight novels, haven't you? What the hell! ”
"General, we ......" an officer tried to justify.
At this time, General Gioulai, who had leaked all his way, calmed down a little, so he glanced at the officer and said, "What are you doing, say it." ”
"General, that's right. We interrogated the few prisoners captured by the cavalry separately, but during the first interrogation, the confessions of all the prisoners were the same, so ......"
"So you all believed? You guys are so naïve and naïve! Do you know the Duke of Wellington of England? That's a true model for a soldier, much better than you. I had a good conversation with him, and the Duke told me that the French sometimes prepared lies before the war, so even if the prisoners were interrogated separately, the confessions obtained were not necessarily reliable, even if they were consistent. The Sardinians have always hooked up with the French, and it is normal for them to learn this trick. General Gioulai put on a tireless look. And those subordinates naturally also showed that they were listening attentively.
"Thank you for the general's teachings, there is such a cunning trick," said the officer, "if it were not for the general's teachings, we would have almost been deceived by them." ”
"Young people are inexperienced, hahaha...... Well, why don't you go back and interrogate again, why are you still staying here? ”
"General, those, those Sardinians are in good shape, very wrong." An officer replied.
"What's wrong?"
"They are extremely sluggish, even to whipping or something, and their attention is very poor, as if they haven't slept in days. Even in the process of inquiry, they seem to forget that they are being questioned by us at any time. That's why we're ......."
"Did you show the medic?" General Gioule asked.
"Yes General, the military doctor went to see it, and according to him, the heart rate of these people was sometimes high and low, and the pupils were slower than normal to respond to bright light. As for why this happened, he didn't know why. ”
"Damn, there really isn't such a drug, right? What else did those guys confess, tell me about the whole interrogation! ”
According to the officers in charge of the interrogation, when they saw the captives, their feelings were very low. However, this is also normal, and it is definitely a problem to be full of love when you become a captive. But soon, they realized that the captives were actually cooperative, and they answered whatever they asked. It's just that sometimes, they are so absent-minded that they don't even hear the questions.
After receiving an unbelievable answer, some of the interrogating officers thought the captives were resisting and used whips, but even the stimulation of the whips did not keep them focused. Then the officer in charge of the interrogation realized that there was indeed something wrong with the state of these guys, and so he believed the answer they had given at the beginning.
In fact, a similar situation also occurred in Scrooge's original time and space. In the Pacific, the Japanese army was not afraid of death when fighting the American army, but once they became prisoners, they were very depressed and extremely depressed, and they either did not pay attention to the inquiries of the American troops, or they said whatever they asked, absolutely honestly, and never lied. So much so that Americans feel that the Japanese nation is really incomprehensible in contradictions. Of course, there is a reason why the Japanese army's counter-interrogation training for soldiers is almost zero, but even if Zhang Gazi, who has not received any such training, after being caught by the devil, there will be no question of the devil asking him who is the Eighth Road, and he will tell the devil who is the Eighth Road. This strange table xiàn also has the effect of methamphetamine.
"Where did they say that drug came from?" General Gioule asked.
"It's from the United States, and there's a guy who has an empty pillbox on him." The officer said as he handed the pillbox with Popeye and the slogan "Miracles of Might" to General Guiule.
"A miracle?" General Guiulai read the slogan on it, then looked closely, and he saw that at the bottom of the box, in small print, was printed its producer: "MacDonald Chemical & Pharmaceutical Company".
"McDonald Chemical & Pharmaceutical Company? Isn't this the company that produces the miracle sulfonamide? ”
……
Baron Franz, a court officer, was now serving as an observer in the Sardinian army on the orders of Emperor Napoleon III. His father had fought under the Napoleonic Emperor and died at Waterloo, leaving only a 2oo franc inheritance and a baron knighthood on his wife and one-year-old son. However, with the defeat of Emperor Napoleon, this title of "baron" was naturally not recognized by the restored Bourbon. Even, as the son of a follower of the dangerous Bonaparte, Franz was bullied a lot as a child. Fortunately, the republic finally returned, and then, the empire returned. His status as a "baron" was also recognized, and he was able to enter the army in the service of the new Napoleonic Majesty.
Now Baron Franz is writing a letter to His Majesty the Emperor. As an observer, he was to report to His Majesty the Emperor on the situation of the battle and to present his own opinion.
"Today's battle was only tentative for a long time, as can be seen from the fact that King Emaroel II did not put in troops armed with the latest breech-loading rifles in the battle. His Majesty King Emaroel II placed them all on a few heights a little further back, apparently to facilitate the retreat. I think his idea should be to get through guò gradual resistance and buy time for the arrival of our army.
Although the general arrangement of the Sardinians was conservative and defensive, in today's battle, the Sardinians still showed great courage, some of the levies who had only been trained for less than three months fought as bravely and fearlessly as the elite troops of a hundred battles, they adopted the tactics of the British, advancing without firing a salvo of the opponent, until they reached a distance of less than twenty-five meters from the opponent, and then charged with bayonets. Almost instantly, the Austrian forces that had begun to attack tentatively were crushed. However, in the ensuing battle, these units were immediately exposed to their lack of training. In the pursuit of the fleeing Austrians, their ranks were completely disorganized, which caused them heavy losses when attacked by the Austrian cavalry...... I know from the American advisers in the Sardinian army that, in addition to providing the Sardinian army with a collection of firearms, they also provided them with a medicine called the 'Mighty Pill', which is said to make people forget their fears and make cowards brave. It was because of this medicine that the Sardinians were able to show such bravery. I bought a box of samples from the Americans and enclosed them with the letter to test the results...... Besides, because of this aid at work, I personally do not think that the Austrians will be able to win quickly......"
……
"Do you think it's true that the Sardinians are saying that they are running out of medicine because of the hurricane?" General Gioule asked.
All the people looked at Giulai, but no one dared to say anything. In fact, the vast majority of people believe, or are willing to believe, that this is true. For if the Sardinian army could not be defeated as far as possible, Austria would be in a very disadvantageous position if France intervened. And, looking at the appearance of those captives, it seems that they are not very good at lying.
"The troops that the Sardinians put in front of them yesterday must have taken this medicine before the battle, well, judging by the situation of the prisoners, after the effect of the medicine has passed, the man will be very tired. So if the Sardinians are all on medicine and they don't have stocks anymore, then this is when they are most vulnerable. Now, the Sardinians have retreated about four miles from yesterday and live here," General Gioule continued, "and the scouts reported that troops were deployed here and on the high ground here and here...... Do you think we should catch up now? ”
"General, I suspect that the troops deployed by the Sardinians on these heights are the so-called 'elite' units that the captives mentioned did not appear in yesterday's battle." "The Sardinians wanted the war to drag on so that the French would have time to intervene," said one officer. Therefore, in yesterday's battle, they were not prepared for a decisive battle at all. By holding these two heights, the enemy can ensure the safety of their retreat. Artillery can be deployed on these two heights to cover a large area. I believe that the enemy has already conducted a test firing of the school gun. The road to Turin will also pass through here, and it will be impossible for our troops to pursue the enemy without taking these two heights. With that, the officer raised his eyes and looked at General Gioulai.
"Ah, Andrew, you're saying a good thing, go on." Andrew's father is an old friend of Giulai, and he still likes this child of his old friend very much.
"Let's see, here, less than two miles behind where the main Sardinian force is stationed, there is a high ground, and if I were the commander of the Sardinians, I would have the troops go two miles longer and camp here. In this way, it will be possible to alternate cover with the enemy who is still on the two heights and gradually retreat. But the enemy was stationed in Zhao's current position. This location is not advantageous at all. Why is the enemy like this? I guess it's related to the extreme exhaustion after taking the drug. The fatigue of those captives has not eased at all, so I reckon that the state of their main force is not much better. If we take these two heights quickly and catch up, we will have a chance to defeat the Sardinians in one fell swoop. ”
"Good." "What do you think of Major Andrew's opinion?" Who's for and who's against......"
