Chapter 54: Shocking Change
"I am the new commander of the Principality of Luxon theater, Henri Pétain, and welcome both back. ”
Lieutenant General Henry Bay was emaciated, looking to be in his fifties, with gray hair combed on his back, squinted eyes, a pointed chin, a straight allied lieutenant general uniform on his body, a smile on his face but no smile in his eyes, and a slightly gloomy voice, giving the first impression of a treacherous villain.
Brigadier General Louis asked suspiciously, "Sir, where has Lieutenant General Benjamin gone?"
Lieutenant General Bei put his left hand to his lips and chuckled: "Benjamin has been dismissed from his post because he has been found to be corrupt and bribery, and he is now under investigation by the Supreme Council." ”
"What? How is this possible?!" Brigadier General Louis was shocked and angry, corruption and bribery are a very common phenomenon in the coalition army, drinking soldiers' blood and eating empty salaries are even more common, and it has become an unspoken rule that under normal circumstances, they will not take it out to talk about things, because no one is clean under the buttocks, but Lieutenant General Benjamin is accused of corruption and bribery, and it must be his political enemies who want to kill him to do so.
As for the disadvantage of the battle, it is a pure nothing, since Lieutenant General Benjamin purchased a large number of weapons from Ouyang Yu, and popularized the trench tactics, the battle with the Imperial Army has obviously improved significantly, although there is no counteroffensive, but in the defensive battle to eliminate a large number of Imperial soldiers, forcing the Imperial Army of the Duchy of Lucerne to move south to the front is a great achievement, but I did not expect to be charged with a disadvantageous operation, not to mention Lieutenant General Benjamin himself, Brigadier General Louis was greatly dissatisfied.
"Sir, I don't know if Lieutenant General Benjamin's charges are wrong, whether there is corruption and bribery, but there is absolutely no disadvantage in combat, and I ask you to tell your superiors that I am willing to be a witness for Lieutenant General Benjamin to defend him. ”
"Hehehe, Brigadier General Louis, I'm afraid you don't have this opportunity, the order of the coalition headquarters, Brigadier General Louis and Honorary Major Ouyang Yu, fought passively during the reinforcements in the south, disobeyed the military order, and colluded with the enemy country, causing the enemy to break through the defense line of our army on the Garonne River, causing great losses to our army, the headquarters ordered to be arrested immediately and handed over to the Judge Advocate General's Office for trial, come on, arrest the two of them for me!"
The four guards walked into the office and grabbed the arms of Ouyang Yu and Brigadier General Louis from behind, Brigadier General Louis shook first, and struggled desperately after reacting, "Let go of me, let go of me, say that I colluded with the enemy country, fought passively, and disobeyed military orders, what evidence do you have?!"
"The evidence is there. Lieutenant General Bey said: "Admiral Bonaparte ordered you to defend the town of Kodor until the 5th of November, how long have you defended?"
"We'll be holding out until November 6th!" replied Brigadier General Louis without hesitation.
"Apart from you and Ouyang's people, who else can prove that you held out until the sixth of November?"
"Proof it?" Brigadier General Louis was stunned, at that time he and Ouyang Yu's troops had been surrounded, who did he ask to prove it? Could it be that he asked him to go to the people of the Imperial Army to prove it?
Brigadier General Louis's silence was taken as speechless by Lieutenant General Bay, and he continued: "Well, even if you defend until November 6th, your two armies together are only 22,000 men, and they have fought fiercely for more than ten days, so they must have suffered huge casualties and are facing the point of running out of ammunition and food, but such a force has broken through from the encirclement of 100,000 imperial troops? This kind of fantastical thing is really difficult to make the people in the headquarters believe, after talking about the headquarters unanimously believes that you are lying, the truth of the truth should be that you have taken refuge in the empire, otherwise it is impossible to explain that a remnant army can escape from the encirclement of 100,000 enemy troops, and it is precisely because you have taken refuge in the empire that you will fight passively, and when other friendly troops suffer heavy casualties, you will take the benefits of the empire to you and watch the show!"
"You talk nonsense!"
Brigadier General Louis was like an enraged lion, trying to break free from the guards' grip and punch him twice from in front of Lieutenant General Bey.
"Ouyang and I led the troops to fight hard with the imperial army for ten days, the soldiers under my command suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and the annihilation of more than 20,000 enemies, and then successfully broke through through the night, and was chased and killed all the way before escaping back.
The guards behind Brigadier General Louis held down Brigadier General Louis stiffly, and Lieutenant General Bei waved his hand with disdain, "Take them down and detain them separately, and notify the military police of the Judge Advocate General's Office to pick them up, Louis, if you have anything to say to the military police of the Military Judge Advocate General's Office." ”
"Bastard, let go of me, let go of me!"
No matter how Brigadier General Louis struggled, he was finally taken out of the office, Ouyang Yu followed the guards very obediently and walked out, she knew very well that her current strength was not able to break free from the suppression of the two men against her no matter what, it was better to be honest so as not to suffer hardship.
The officers and soldiers of the command headquarters all saw Brigadier General Louis who kept yelling, and they were very puzzled and dissatisfied with the above approach, but they could only dare to be angry and dare not speak out, and watched the battle hero in their minds be taken away and imprisoned by the guards.
Ouyang Yu was locked in a small cell, the guards sent her into the cell and left without saying a word, she looked at the cell, fortunately, it was clean except for a little dark, a small iron bed with a white quilt, there was a small window on the wall opposite the cell door, and there was a baffle, and there was a toilet behind the baffle.
Although there is a lot of confusion in her heart, Ouyang Yu, who has just escaped for thousands of miles, is tired and sleepy, and without saying a word, she fell asleep on the iron bed covered with a quilt, she needs to rest well, in fact, if she turns against the coalition forces of the eastern countries, she can immediately go to prison at any time, after all, it is very simple for her to escape from prison with the system in hand, and she can also mobilize the army outside to rescue herself at any time, but Ouyang Yu always feels that there are many strange things about the whole thing, and it is not as simple as it seems, so she has no intention of escaping for the time being, like looking at the follow-up development of things。
Ouyang Yu slept in the dark, and when she woke up, it was already the morning of the next day, and she slept for more than ten hours, feeling very hungry when she touched her stomach, she got up from the iron bed and knocked on the iron cell door and shouted: "Hey, I'm hungry, bring me something to eat!"
Ouyang Yu thought that no one would bring her food, but she didn't expect that not long after knocking on the cell door, there was really food brought to her by the guards, and it was quite hearty, meat steaks, cod, small broken bones, thick soup, white bread, and then a large glass of red wine, Ouyang Yu felt very strange to be able to eat these in the prison, for a prisoner, unless it was the last meal, how could there be such good food.
"I mean, you're not going to shoot me when I'm done. ”
The guard didn't speak with a straight face, but stood aside without squinting, Ouyang Yu touched a soft nail, rolled his eyes at the guard, and began to destroy the food in front of him, even if he was going to shoot her, he had to eat first.
After eating and drinking, Ouyang Yu touched his little belly with satisfaction, the guards put away the tableware and left, leaving Ouyang Yu alone in the cell in a daze, and in the afternoon, the cell door was opened again, and the guards walked in and said coldly: "Come with me, Commander Petain wants to see you." ”
Ouyang Yu followed the guards to a two-story villa near the headquarters, and when she came to the bathroom on the second floor, the guards said to her again: "Hot water and clothes have been prepared inside, you wash your body first, change your clothes, Your Excellency the Commander is waiting for you on the first floor." With that, the guard stood at the door of the bathroom and acted as a statue.
Being able to take a bath Ouyang Yu is naturally very willing, walking into the bathroom to check if there is a secret door or a place where you can peep, and then taking off the Soviet military uniform on her body and jumping into the bath full of hot water, Ouyang Yu, who was soaked in warm hot water, called out comfortably, she didn't want to come out of the bath, she took a full bath for an hour, and dried the long hair on her knees, Ouyang Yu put on the aristocratic women's long skirt prepared for her, the big red long skirt exposed her fragrant shoulders and delicate collarbones, as well as a large piece of the back to the air, and a string of pearl necklaces together with the long skirt, gemstone rings, gemstone earrings, diamond brooches and other priceless ornaments, but Ouyang Yu couldn't look at any of them, and only used a hairband inlaid with sapphires and made of gold, fixed his long hair at the back of his head, and combed a simple single ponytail hairstyle.
Leaving the bathroom, Ouyang Yu came to the restaurant on the first floor and met Lieutenant General Bei, Lieutenant General Bei saw Ouyang Yu's current appearance and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then asked Ouyang Yu to sit down with a smile, and then clapped his hands, the delicious food was sent like flowing water, and Lieutenant General Bei personally poured Ouyang Yu a glass of wine.
"May your beauty last forever. ”
After Lieutenant General Bei said the toast, he raised his glass to Ouyang Yu, Ouyang Yu also raised his wine glass very face-saving, and touched Lieutenant General Bei's wine glass lightly, and the two wine glasses made a pleasant and crisp sound, and then the two drank it all at the same time.
During the meal, Lieutenant General Bei and Ouyang Yu chatted, most of the chats were about the scenery of the royal capital of the Gallic Kingdom, popular topics among the nobles, what clothes the aristocratic women liked the most, etc., Ouyang Yu listened patiently and asked some questions from time to time, Lieutenant General Bei answered them one by one, and the dinner ended in a seemingly friendly atmosphere.
After dinner, Lieutenant General Pei brought Ouyang Yu a cup of coffee made by himself, sat down in front of her and said, "Miss Ouyang, a beauty like you should be sought after and courted by excellent aristocratic young people every day, instead of being locked up in a small dark cell as a prisoner, it's a pity, it's a pity." ”
Ouyang Yu, who was holding coffee in both hands, said secretly in his heart: "The main drama has begun, let me see what your purpose is, right?"
