Chapter 102: Schraf's Counterattack

Second Lieutenant Hall, Supplementary Battalion, 16th Bavarian Infantry Regiment.

Wang Weiyi is still so surprisingly calm, as if no matter who walks in, it has nothing to do with him.

On the contrary, Hall looked a little afraid, and when he passed by Wang Weiyi's side, he quietly looked at his boss.

Marklin seemed to have the victory, and when Ensign Hall stood behind the witness stand, Macklin asked in a condescending tone: "Ensign Hall, although you are now standing before your superiors, I want you to give a detailed account of Captain Ernst Alecsen von Braim in the name of an upright gentleman." ”

"Yes, I will." Hall snorted, and after a while he mustered up the courage to say: "We have conquered the enemy's position, and have captured a large number of prisoners, among them Lieutenant Colonel Rosen Ernst decided to release the prisoners, I tried to dissuade him, but he did not listen to me, and insisted on letting Lieutenant Colonel Rosen go, and Captain Ernst also went to the British position, and stayed for a long time before returning."

There was an uproar in the auditorium, forcing Felix to reprimand them several times before he could calm them down.

"This damned Jew, he deserves hell!" Adolf Hitler cursed with a blushing face. If it were possible, he would like to rush up now, and then teach this Jew a hard lesson!

"To the British?" Macklin became excited: "Baron Alexon, why are you going to the British?" Can you give us a reasonable explanation? In my understanding, if it were not for the orders of the superiors, would an officer run to the camp of the enemy? I'm really curious. ”

Wang Weiyi smiled faintly.

Schlaf knew it was time to take matters into his own hands: "Second Lieutenant Hall, can you be responsible for what you said?" ”

"Of course I can"

"But as far as I know, the prestige of your replenishment battalion is not so high." Schlaf smiled slightly: "After the company commander of the third company of the previous supplementary battalion, Lieutenant Hauss, was injured, you very much hoped to be able to take over the position of Lieutenant Hauss, but unfortunately, it was Baron Alecson who served as the commander of the third company in the end, and in the subsequent battles, you have not been very active, can I imagine that you deliberately said those words because you were jealous of Baron Alecson's merits?" ”

"I'm against it!" Macklin exclaimed: "I object to such baseless accusations made by lawyer Schraf! ”

"Ah, if I'm wrong, I'm willing to apologize like Lawyer Macklin." Before Felix could speak, Schlaff had already preemptively spoken: "But I have also heard one more thing, before Baron Alexson created the 'Miracle of the Somme', you, Second Lieutenant Hall, forced your men to abandon your company commander, Ernst Breem!" ”

There was another uproar in the auditorium.

If Schraf hadn't told the story, the Germans would never have known it. German soldiers can be defeated on the battlefield, but they will never allow such a shameful thing as abandoning their comrades, especially their own commanders!

Macklin's face changed drastically, and the other party did not answer the question directly at all, but began to question the character of the witness, which is a very terrible thing!

Before he could speak, Felix, the Marquis of York, who was presiding over the trial, had already asked, "Ensign Hall, have you ever done such a thing?" ”

"I" Hall was a little scared: "I received an order from my superiors to retreat"

"Retreat?" Schlaf said disdainfully: "When your superior, Company Commander Ernst, was fighting bloodily on the front line, buying enough time for your retreat, you actually abandoned your superior?" Lord Marquis de Joccos, I know that there was a man who was present at the time who witnessed all this, and he is now in the audience, and I would like to invite him out. ”

After obtaining permission from the Marquis of Jocques, Schlaf turned to the auditorium: "Mr. Adolf Hitler, are you there?" ”

Adolf Hitler stood up, then walked to the witness stand. Schlaf opened his mouth and said: "Mr. Adolf Hitler, please report your number and rank. ”

"Corporal of the 3rd Company of the Supplementary Battalion of the 16th Bavarian Infantry Regiment."

"Were you there that time?"

"Yes, I'm here, sir."

"Please tell everyone what happened that day?"

Hitler's cold eyes glanced at Hall: "That day, we received an order to retreat, Captain Ernst struggled to buy us time to retreat, and when Captain Ernst was still on the front line, Second Lieutenant Hall had already ordered us to retreat. You are right, Mr. Lawyer, Ensign Hall, who abandoned his superiors! ”

Hale opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

Schlaf then asked, "Corporal Adolf Hitler, could you tell us unmistakably that at that time Ensign Hall was sometimes indirectly to Baron Alexon?" ”

Adolf Hitler looked at Hall again, and then a deadly sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"Yes!"

For the third time, an exclamation rang out from the auditorium.

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure!" Adolf Hitler replied in the affirmative: "Even I begged Haul, who was a sergeant at the time, to fetch Captain Ernst out, but Haul flatly refused my plea. The entire Third Company and all those present at the time could attest to this. I respect Second Lieutenant Hall, but in this matter, he is a shameless deserter! ”

Schlaf's gaze turned to Hale: "Second Lieutenant Hall, are there any elements of fabrication in Mr. Adolf Hitler's words?" ”

Hall was silent for a long time, then shook his head with difficulty.

"Traitor!" "Coward!" "Deserter!"

A loud curse had been heard from the auditorium.

Whether Ernst Bream was guilty or innocent is hard to say for the time being, but the despicable things that Hall did had completely angered the Germans who were listening.

In particular, most of the nobles who had status were sympathetic to Baron Alexon, but now Hitler's words aroused their anger at Hall even more.

"Such a person, he is not worthy to be a witness!" Schlaff began to take advantage of the victory: "On the battlefield, he could not hesitate to leave his superiors, he was not even worthy of being a German soldier. Lord Marquis de Joccos, I ask that you disqualify Hall as a witness, and I recommend that the military immediately hold Hale accountable for his despicable acts on the battlefield. ”

The Marquis of Joccos was similarly disgusted: "I acceded to Schraf's lawyer's request to strip Hall of his right to be a witness, and to remind the military that the matter should be thoroughly investigated." ”
