Chapter 417: Second Goal

The reason why West Francis was able to fight Prussian Germany for so long was due to its fierce army that was not afraid of death, and the intelligence services also made a great contribution.

However, Joan of Arc really recognized Fermin from the mouth of the middle-aged man in Northern Russia.

That is, after learning that something suspected to be a Katyusha had been detonated on the battlefield of Verdun, she asked the St. Petersburg side through the telegraph system of the Élysée Palace.

The man in front of him was the core of the Prussian Party, and he had been preparing for the revolutionary movement in the country, but in the end he was arrested here due to some accidents, tortured and tortured.

Of course, the middle-aged man in the telegram did not tell him a direct message, but used a code word, and Joan of Arc also interpreted it for a long time.

All political prisoners, as well as enemy generals captured on the front lines, were imprisoned at Fort Montjuïc.

Because it was the strongest and safest fortress in all of Prussia.

West Français had organised a rescue with Britain the previous year, but it was unsuccessful.

And that rescue, which was also a participant in Joan of Arc, was carried out together during the blitzkrieg, so Joan of Arc was deeply impressed.

Joan of Arc usually likes to make second- or even third-hand preparations when arranging troops on the battlefield, and even if the first goal cannot be achieved, then it will immediately move to the second or even third goal.

Although she came to Prussia, Germany's most important purpose was to negotiate with Wilhelm II.

But if she fails, she actually makes the rest of the preparations.

Of course, she can't be 100% sure that she will be imprisoned in Fort Montjuïc.

However, when she arrived at Fort Montjuic, she already had a plan in mind.

The cells on this floor are located on the ground floor of the entire Fort Montjuïc, the darkest and most damp place, where only a few special criminals are kept.

And her goal is at this level, which is also the information she received from St. Petersburg.

And that's why Joan of Arc has been provoking Malfoy just now, because then she will have a better chance of being imprisoned here.

Joan of Arc took a closer look at Fermin, who had apparently been imprisoned here for a long time, his eyes and cheeks sunken, his sticky hair scattered haphazardly, and his skin was pale because he had not seen the sun for a long time.

Hearing Joan of Arc's words, Fermin was visibly stunned, and a ridicule came from the cell next door.

"Ferming, this is the illegitimate daughter you left behind, everyone has found here."

"you!" Fermin rolled his eyes.

"Ignore him, kid, tell us how you got in." Sounds like it's on the other end of the spectrum.

"The first to speak was Twelve." Fermin said to Joan of Arc, "In his eyes, no matter what matters, everything is wrong. The other is the fifteenth, who has insomnia every day, is gentle and polite, and we are recognized as a thinker here. The others weren't very vocal, especially Fourteen. ”

"I didn't speak until I was supposed to." A low, cold voice suddenly joined the conversation, and Joan of Arc guessed that it should be Fourteen. "If everyone could talk less here, it would be much quieter every night."

"Good night everybody." Joan of Arc said, "My name is Joan of Arc, and it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

"You're going to be unhappy soon." Number Twelve said quietly.

"Welcome aboard." Fourteen said, "I hope you won't stay here for long, after all, you're so young." ”

Joan of Arc subconsciously turned her head to look at the body bag on the side.

"That's Lucio, formerly Thirteen." "We don't know anything about her, because the poor fellow is mute." On the river Babour, a bullet went through its throat. ”

"It's a pity he's the only dumb one." No. 19 cavity.

"How did he die?" Joan of Arc asked.

"If you stay here, you'll die." Twelve-told her, "No other reason is needed. ”

Joan of Arc turned her head to look at the body bag on the side, "How long will it take someone to take him?" ”

"Who knows." "Usually people from the Montjuïc cemetery come and collect the bodies when they have time. ”

"Will he be buried?" Joan of Arc asked.

"Buried?" Twelve sneered, "Then you are too optimistic about these people, there is a mass grave there, that is the fate of our people, exposed to the wilderness." ”

"Is that so," Joan of Arc murmured in a low voice.

"You're coming in from the outside." Fermin began, "What's going on out there?" ”

Joan of Arc also began to slowly talk about what was happening in the outside world and why she was here.

In particular, Fermin came in before the collapse of the Tsarist government, and she also deliberately told him about the middle-aged man.

Ferming's eyes grew brighter as he listened, and he muttered softly.

"Did he succeed?"

He muttered a little suppressed excitement in his heart.

"I knew he was going to succeed, he was going to be much better than all of us"

He looked up at Joan of Arc.

"Thank you for telling me this, you can always come to me if you run into any trouble in prison."

"Thank you." Joan of Arc bowed, "But I think I should be here soon."

She lowered her eyes.

"Life or death."

A regular routine helps you adjust to life in prison. For one hour at a time, the inmates in the cells could be taken out to the atrium to bask in the sun or rain, depending on the weather conditions.

The daily meal is a large cup of half-filled cold mud, greasy light gray substance, I can't see what kind of food it is, a sour musty smell comes to my nose, it has probably been put for several days, but because of the cramps of hunger in the stomach, such food still has to be eaten.

All the walkways, atriums, and places where prisoners may appear are closely monitored.

There was a group of heavily armed jailers patrolling the prison, and when the prisoners left their cells, it was impossible to look out except for the eager gaze of the jailers and the muzzle of the aiming gun.

In charge of the same area are several other, less threatening jailers, who are military backgrounds but are mostly physically disabled.

It was after coming down from the front that they were arranged here to eat a mouthful, because they couldn't find a better errand than to take care of the prison.

Each row of cells was guarded by a jailer, who always carried a large string of keys and worked in shifts of twelve hours, sitting on a chair at the end of the corridor when he went to work.

Most jailers avoid bonding with prisoners, don't even talk to them, and don't look at them unless necessary.

Every Sunday, the prison also organizes a mass, which is recommended but no one misses it, because every time the priest takes a roll call, if someone is absent, he makes a mark on the list. The result of being absent twice is fasting for a week. Those who are absent three times will wait for a month of "vacation" in an isolation cell.

Joan of Arc was an exception, as it seems that because of her rumored status in West Farland, the priest held her in high esteem.

In fact, Fort Montjuïc had a special women's cell, but it seems that in order to scare Joan of Arc, she was placed in the lowest and dirtiest cell.

Malfoy has been pressing, too, to sign a confession these days, but she has never agreed.

Joan of Arc was feeling his patience diminishing day by day, and as time passed, she could feel Malfoy's mood growing more irritated
