Chapter 235: Dunkirk Battle (9)
"Colonel Catherine Victor, commander of the National Guard Brigade in Calais, disobeyed the orders of her superiors during the war and led her troops to flee without authorization, causing great confusion and causing very serious losses to our army, and the consequences were extremely huge.
"Bang!"
On June 5, 1940, Ouyang Yu was taken away by the gendarmerie and thrown into a London prison.
After Ouyang Yu's troops followed Montgomery's troops to break through from Arras, they continued to fight in the lowlands forty kilometers east of Dunkirk, successfully blocking the German attack for several days, and buying time for the retreat of more than 300,000 British and French troops.
Ouyang Yu, who thought that this copy would end here, did not expect that the French military police would come to the door just after setting foot on British soil.
Ouyang Yu sat on the cold iron bed with a confused face and couldn't understand why this happened? After thinking about it for a long time, she finally had a clue, maybe it was the incompetent French government that wanted to find a scapegoat for the defeat in order to divert the public's attention from the government, or maybe she offended someone, and someone started to take revenge on her, but Ouyang Yu couldn't figure out who she would offend, after all, she could be regarded as a new recruit in the French military circles, and no one knew or thought she would offend anyone, so she still looked confused until the jailer brought dinner.
In the office of Viscount Goth, commander of the British Army General's Expeditionary Force of the British Army Command, Montgomery waved his fist angrily, "It's unbelievable that millions of our men in England and France would put the blame for the defeat on a little girl who was only twenty years old in battle, Your Excellency the Viscount." Colonel Catherine was braver than any of us men in England and France throughout the battle at Dunkirk, and on June 3, when more than half of her troops had suffered casualties, and the lines were in full danger, she herself went to the front with thirty-two girls from the guard platoon to fight the Germans in order not to be broken through by the Germans. This is what I have seen with my own eyes, and in her rear, the 340,000 men of our coalition army would rather sit on the beach with nothing to smoke and wait for the evacuation than go to reinforce the reserve forces that are fighting the Germans for their sake, and now they are blaming the mistake of our men on a woman, and I am asked to appear in court to prove that woman's guilt, Lord Viscount, forgive me for being unable to obey orders!"
Viscount Gort looked at Montgomery with a look of embarrassment, in fact, he was not willing to do this. But this is the instructions given by the cabinet, and the British cabinet is cooperating with the French government, so the main reason is on the side of the French government, even if the British cabinet does not investigate Ouyang Yu's so-called crimes, the French government still has to investigate.
"Bernard, I understand what you said, but there is nothing I can do about it, let me tell you. The one who advocated Catherine's trial was Marshal Henri Philippe Pétain of France, who had been instructed to prepare for the formation of a new French cabinet. In order to salvage the impact of the continuous defeat and reinvigorate the army, Marshal Petain decided to pursue some examples, Ganmalin and Weygand He could not and did not have the right to pursue them, but he still had the ability to clean up a small colonel, if you really wanted to save that Colonel Catherine, then try to collect evidence. That's the only way you can save that girl. ”
"Thank you for your advice, and I'm leaving. ”
Although he was very dissatisfied, Montgomery also understood Viscount Goth's difficulties, so he could only collect strong evidence against Ouyang Yu as Viscount Goth said, and then publicly defend Ouyang Yu at the trial.
In addition to Montgomery, there is another person who is also running for Ouyang Yu's affairs, and this is the future French president, General Charles André Joseph Marie de Gaulle.
General de Gaulle, who retreated to England with the coalition forces. It was through the internal notice of the French army that he learned about Ouyang Yu, General de Gaulle, who was full of a sense of justice and a view of the overall situation, immediately investigated the achievements of the National Guard Brigade, and the results surprised him, there were few French troops during the entire French campaign that could fight so tenaciously, a large number of incompetent French soldiers would only surrender to the Germans, and the Germans who were busy advancing were not even willing to capture those French soldiers who surrendered, officers like Ouyang Yu who fought tenaciously and paid great sacrifices, not only should not be subjected to the so-called trial, but needed to be vigorously publicized and rewarded, so General de Gaulle sent a telegram to Paris, asking Marshal Petain to change his original intention, but unfortunately was rejected by Marshal Petain, and he insisted on trying Ouyang Yu.
"Ridiculous! Shameless!" General de Gaulle laughed angrily after receiving the telegram from Marshal Petain, "Let's go, let's go to the London prison!"
The London Prison, also known as the Tower of London, was built in 1078. Historically, it served as a royal palace, a court, and later a prison. The Tower of London covers an area of 7.2 hectares and is surrounded by a thick wall of boulders. There are many forts and arrow towers on the city walls, and a wide and deep moat on all sides. From 1107, after the Norman conquest of London, the Tower of London became the King's Headquarters and Barracks. From 1140 to the 17th century, the tower was the main residence of successive kings of England. After the execution of the English tyrant James I in the tower, the Tower of London became a prison and execution ground for prisoners.
General de Gaulle, who drove to the London prison, happened to meet Montgomery, who was also about to visit Ouyang Yu, De Gaulle and Montgomery had not met at this time, but they had both heard of each other's names, and after exchanging some knowledge of each other's intentions, the two quickly reached a consensus.
"Dear Catherine, I am glad to see that you have not been brought down by injustice, and that you still have the confident smile on your face when we first met. ”
Ouyang Yu and Montgomery formed a deep comradeship during their joint battle, so Ouyang Yu and Montgomery hugged gently according to Western etiquette.
"Your Excellency, I am also glad to meet you again. ”
"Let me introduce you to this ....... ”
"You don't need to be introduced, I know him. Ouyang Yu interrupted Montgomery's words, then straightened his military uniform and stood up and saluted, "General de Gaulle, although the place is not right, I am very happy to meet you." ”
De Gaulle also returned the salute, then shook hands with Ouyang Yu and smiled: "I am also very happy to meet the modern Joan of Arc, Miss Catherine. ”
