On June 10, 1940, the temporary French army station outside London was almost overcrowded, and the tens of thousands of French troops inside the station, the tens of thousands of Londoners who heard the news, and hundreds of media reporters from dozens of companies all turned their eyes to the provisional military court that had been erected in the barracks only the previous night.

A lieutenant general sat in the middle of the provisional military tribunal as judge, flanked by a major general as a clerk, a French colonel as prosecutor, and De Gaulle himself as defender.

"Da da da......!" the judge tapped the gavel to signal silence, and then said in a loud voice: "Take the defendant to court!"

Microphones and loudspeakers are installed in the temporary courtroom, the judge's voice can be clearly heard throughout the barracks, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and other media have broadcast the trial live, so that more people can hear everything that happened on the radio, Ouyang Yu's trial has touched the hearts of many people, even Hitler in the Chancellery in Berlin, Germany, is sitting next to the radio, quietly listening to the sound of the scene, next to Hitler, there is also the Nazi propaganda minister Goebbels, Goebbels still holds a small notebook in his hand from time to time to record something。

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of people at the scene, wearing a somewhat sloppy French military uniform, with messy hair and a haggard expression, Ouyang Yu, who seemed to have been tortured, appeared in the eyes of the public, sick and delicate, this term can completely describe Ouyang Yu's current situation, and at the same time aroused the sympathy of tens of thousands of viewers at the scene.

The prosecutor read the indictment to the judge, in which Ouyang Yu was described as cowardly and afraid. Ignoring orders from superiors. Military scum who disregard friendly forces. The accusations against her include fear of the enemy, battlefield disobedience, desertion, and three major crimes, and if the list of each crime is established, Ouyang Yu can be pulled to the target if it is taken out alone.

"Defendant, do you admit to the charges that the prosecutor has made against you?"

"Your Excellency, I deny all the charges made by the prosecutor. Because what he said is not the truth at all. ”

Ouyang Yu will admit that there are ghosts.

"It is now up to the prosecution to question the accused. ”

The prosecutor walked up to Ouyang Yu with a stack of documents and asked, "The defendant, please tell me, where were you and your troops on May 26, 1940?"

"My troops and I are in Arras, the capital of Calais. ”

"What was the situation like?"

Ouyang Yu thought for a while and replied: "I was ordered by the coalition command to reinforce the British troops stationed in Arras, the size of the British army is two infantry divisions and one tank brigade, and the commander is General Montgomery. ”

The prosecutor asked, "What happened when you arrived in Arras?"

"After I reached Arras, General Montgomery intended to counterattack the Germans, and he needed troops to defend Arras, so my troops and the British Thirty-second Infantry Regiment were left behind. ”

As soon as Ouyang Yu finished speaking, the prosecutor asked loudly: "As a French soldier, you don't take the initiative to fight the invading Germans on French soil. Instead, they stayed in the safe rear and left foreign troops to fight the invaders. Aren't you ashamed?"

"I am against the judge!" De Gaulle stood up and said loudly: "I doubt that the prosecutor is a real soldier, at that time Colonel Catherine needed to obey the command of General Montgomery, she could not do whatever she wanted, if every soldier did this, then there was still discipline in the army?

"The objection is valid, and the prosecutor should pay attention to the words. ”

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency. The prosecutor apologized to the judge for bending down slightly, and then the prosecutor opened the document in his hand and continued: "On May 26, 1940, your troops engaged the German army at Arras and successfully repelled several German attacks, and you reported the results to the Allied Command, which immediately issued a new order, asking you and your troops to delay time in the Arras area and delay the retreat of the Allied forces in the Dunkirk area, and what did you and your troops do?"

Before Ouyang Yu could speak, the prosecutor asked and answered himself: "On the night of the second day after the order was issued by the coalition command, you fled the Arras region with your troops despite the orders of your superiors, opened the passage for the Germans to attack Dunkirk, and then fled to England on board a ship in Dunkirk like a lost dog. After speaking, the prosecutor also looked at Ouyang Yu with the eyes of garbage, "Why didn't a disobedient deserter like you die on the battlefield, I feel sorry for those soldiers who died bravely, it is precisely because they paid the price of their lives that a female cousin like you can come to England alive." ”

The prosecutor's words caused an uproar among tens of thousands of observers, some people angrily waved their fists and scolded Ouyang Yu, while some people dragged off their shoes and threw them at Ouyang Yu, and at the same time flew to her shoes There were as many as dozens, Ouyang Yu had no choice but to hide behind the military police guarding her, and the unlucky military policeman who was used as a shield was unfortunately hit by a few stinky shoes and became Ouyang Yu's substitute ghost.

"Silence!

The judge banged on the gavel, and with the help of the soldiers who maintained order at the scene, the noisy makeshift courtroom finally fell silent.

After finally calming down, the judge said again: "Now it's up to the defense to speak." ”

De Gaulle also stood up with a wad of papers, walked to the speaker's seat and said into the microphone: "Your Excellency, gentlemen and ladies on the scene, let us applaud the prosecutor's wonderful performance. De Gaulle really applauded, and the applause of only one person was very harsh in the makeshift courtroom.

De Gaulle, who stopped applauding, opened the document in his hand and continued: "I don't think the prosecutor should be a soldier, but go to Hollywood in the United States to be an actor, why do I say that? That's because a soldier must have integrity and bravery, and bravery I don't see in the prosecutor, and he doesn't have integrity." ”

"Judge, I protest that the defense is making a personal attack!"

The prosecutor, ridiculed by de Gaulle, could not sit still.

"The protest is valid, and the defense should pay attention to the wording. ”

De Gaulle said nonchalantly: "Your Excellency, I am not making a personal attack, but I am stating the facts, because I do not see in the prosecutor the integrity and bravery I just mentioned, but in the defendant's integrity and fearless bravery!" (To be continued.) )
