Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

The main demand of the mutinous soldiers is that they hope that the Foreign Legion will improve their treatment. To put it bluntly, they want money.

As for mercenaries, don't hold them to too high a moral standard, just give them enough money.

The salary model of the Foreign Legion is similar to that of an umbrella. When there are no missions, soldiers only have a basic salary, and their wartime income will increase significantly.

The difference is that for soldiers of the Foreign Legion, whether it is basic salary or wartime subsidies, there is a big difference compared with the protective umbrella.

For mercenaries of the Umbrella Company, the basic salary can at least guarantee a living, and if you know how to be diligent and thrifty, you can even make a slight surplus.

The Foreign Legion is a bit miserable, otherwise the soldiers wouldn't make a profit by trading bullets.

Now the Foreign Legion wants to confiscate all the private materials stored by the soldiers, and one can imagine the dissatisfaction caused.

By southern African standards, mutiny by the Foreign Legion was tantamount to rebellion.

France is not so defined.

French people love freedom.

French North Africa is also French territory, so foreign legionnaires also have the right to express their demands. As for whether the demands are reasonable, some people do not care.

After the 66th Division surrounded the third regiment's camp, the rebels had not yet surrendered. Instead, government officials in French North Africa approached Patton and asked Patton to solve the problem in a more peaceful way.

"What is your so-called 'more peaceful' way?" Patton patiently communicated with Jean Pierre.

Jean Pierre came from a distinguished family, graduated from the Saint-Cyr Military Academy, participated in World War I, and served in the French East Indies for a long time after the war. After de Gaulle established the Free France, Jean Pierre returned from the French East Indies.

Join Free France.

As a veteran soldier, Jean Pierre knew the importance of the Foreign Legion to France.

The key is that there are currently very few troops left under the command of the Free French, so the importance of the Foreign Legion has become increasingly prominent.

"We have to go among the soldiers, take the initiative to communicate with them, listen to their voices, and meet their demands. The soldiers of the Foreign Legion also need to be respected." Jean Pierre has the romantic spirit of the French, and he has a deep understanding of France.

As a human being, there is nothing shameful in compromising.

"You actually know that the soldiers of the Foreign Legion need to be respected, so how do you do it?" Patton was puzzled. This is obviously a duplicity.

"General, you know, this is France." Jean Pierre was embarrassed and helpless. Great France has its own national conditions here.

If you look at the French government's attitude towards the veterans of World War I, you will know that the French government ignores even the real French people to that extent, let alone the Foreign Legion.

But there are some things that you can say but cannot do.

Even if the French government continues to ignore the interests of foreign legionnaires, at least it can look good on the surface.

So there were mutinies by the Foreign Legion again and again.

Every time there was a mutiny, the French government and French generals kept saying that they would help the soldiers of the Foreign Legion solve the problem, but the problem was never really solved.

"Since General de Gaulle has left this matter to me, I will use the southern African method to solve it." Patton insisted that whether it was mutiny or rebellion, Patton was unacceptable here.

"How are you going to solve it?" Jean Pierre was curious.

"Before 12 noon tomorrow, if the soldiers of the Third Regiment do not take the initiative to lay down their weapons and walk out of the camp to surrender, then the 66th Division will launch an attack on the Third Regiment." Patton was tough and had nothing else to say to the rebels.

"Those Foreign Legion soldiers are also French, you can't do that." Jean Pierre was shocked and angry. Will the tragedy of "Operation Ballista" happen again?

"You want to solve the problem in your own way? Very good, please take the initiative, go to the Third Regiment, communicate with the soldiers of the Third Regiment, listen to their voices, and help solve their problems." Patton sneered, whoever advocated it

Be responsible. Since you can't solve the problem, then solve the person who raised the problem. Barton can do this.

Jean Pierre was immediately dumbfounded.

It's okay to give opinions.

Take the initiative to go to the third regiment and communicate with the soldiers of the third regiment?

What if I am also detained?

Then it's not like Calabash Boy can save grandpa.

While Patton was busy dealing with the various masters, the 66th Division surrounding the third regiment's camp was also very busy.

As mentioned before, it will not take long for the Foreign Legion's station to form a gray area where various businesses are run.

The Third Regiment's station was surrounded, as were the various businessmen who relied on the Third Regiment for business.

The 66th Division has strong soldiers and horses. Although it does not have tanks, it still has armored vehicles.

As for the temporary camp, there are almost no fortifications, not even walls, only a few simple circles of barbed wire.

After the 66th Division surrounded the station of the Third Regiment, some soldiers discovered that many barbed wire fences had been cut and they could enter and exit freely. They didn't know what the officers of the Third Regiment did for food.

This cannot be blamed on the officers for being irresponsible.

Maybe they need these special channels too.

After the third regiment's station was surrounded, businessmen from all walks of life left in a hurry. They were strictly interrogated by the officers and soldiers of the 66th Division.

"Oh, you are in business, what kind of business do you do? Where are your goods?" The soldier was serious and responsible. A businessman must look like a businessman.

"The goods have been sold out." The girl with heavy makeup had used too much cheap perfume, and she even winked at the soldier as she spoke.

This is definitely not seduction, just a professional habit.

"What kind of business do you do?" The soldier meticulously buried his head in recording without looking up at all.

"Business!" The girl laughed loudly, and the people waiting in line also laughed. No one seemed to think there was anything wrong with this.

Well, in North Africa nowadays, the skin and meat business is a legal business.

Some are illegal.

When a businessman was undergoing inspection, he carried a large bag of bullets and was strictly interrogated by soldiers of the 66th Division.

"These bullets were obtained from Foreign Legion soldiers. I have not been very lucky recently. The Foreign Legion has no combat missions. Otherwise, there should be more gains." The businessman was very sorry.

"Are you from the Military Service Society?" The soldier suddenly realized that the Soldiers Service Society in Southern Africa were the relatives of all officers and soldiers.

"Yes, yes, I am from a military service agency." The businessman did not realize the seriousness of the matter.

"What the hell, he's just an arms dealer who doesn't know where to go." A soldier next to him said smoothly, and then reminded the businessman: "Pretend to be a member of the Military Service Association, the consequences will be very serious!"

Military service agencies mainly deal with military personnel and their families.

Impersonating a member of a military service organization is a serious crime in southern Africa.

"Sir, I am just a small businessman. I support my family by reselling some things. I have a family that depends on me to support me." The businessman expressed his bitterness with runny nose and tears.

But no matter how much you beg, it's useless. People can leave, and all prohibited goods must be confiscated.

You are lucky to be able to leave. The soldiers of the third regiment have no chance to leave.

The soldiers of the third regiment also did not realize the seriousness of the matter.

It should be noted here that the materials needed by the Foreign Legion are uniformly provided by the Logistics Department of the Third Army. At six o'clock every evening, the transport trucks of the Logistics Department of the Third Army will deliver all the materials needed by the Third Army for the next day.

The supplies were sent to the third regiment's station.

After the mutiny of the Third Regiment, all material supplies stopped, which made the soldiers of the Third Regiment very unhappy.

A crying child needs milk.

According to tradition, mutinous troops will not only not be punished, but the standards of logistics supply will be improved accordingly. French champagne, which is rarely seen, will even appear in the logistics supply list.

In fact, champagne has always been on the Foreign Legion's supply list.

It's just that in the past, only French officers were eligible to enjoy champagne. Ordinary soldiers could not even think about it and even took a sip of it.

So at seven o'clock in the evening, the truck carrying supplies waited and waited but still disappeared, and the soldiers of the third regiment finally couldn't help but walk out of the camp.

"Wait, can you use Chinese? Or English too?" The second lieutenant who jumped out of the armored vehicle did not understand French.

Chinese!

The soldiers of the third regiment are all natives of the North African colonies. They don't even need to think about Chinese, and their English is quite difficult.

There must be someone who knows English.

Find one right away.

"Oh oh oh, let me take a look at your list of demands. Champagne, brandy, cigars and cigarettes. These are all understandable, but what on earth are women?" The second lieutenant couldn't believe it. This was not a battle, it was clearly a vacation.

"We are all men, and we are young and strong men. We have physiological needs!" The temporary translator said confidently. Why bother talking so much? It is more serious to seize the time and deliver the supplies listed on the list.

"You can solve your physiological needs by yourselves." The second lieutenant has some knowledge of some scandals in the armies of European countries, especially corrupt countries: "If you can't do it yourself, you can solve it for each other."

Damn, the car drove unexpectedly.

"What are you talking about? You are insulting us!" the temporary translator said angrily.

Forgot to explain, this place in North Africa

Well, I can’t say, I understand everything.

The key point is that the monk eats meat. If you say he doesn't eat meat, the vegetarian food provided in the temple is obviously vegetables and tofu, but he has to work hard to make it taste like meat.

"The insult I gave you is not enough! Go back now and tell your accomplices to walk out of the camp and surrender before 12 noon tomorrow, otherwise we will launch an attack." The second lieutenant suddenly turned his face.

Nima still has the nerve to make demands

Those who don’t know may think you have made meritorious deeds.

The temporary translation of "you" is unbelievable, and this is not the way to solve the problem.

"Go away, I'll only give you ten seconds to disappear from my face immediately!" The second lieutenant pressed the holster of his gun and resisted the urge to draw his gun.

The second lieutenant's toughness did not make the soldiers of the third regiment surrender.

It is estimated that the soldiers of the third regiment did not have such courage when facing the Germans and Italians.

About half an hour later, someone walked out of the camp again, this time it was an officer.

"Mr. Second Lieutenant, our regiment commander and all officers have been detained. Their lives are under great threat. Mutiny may turn into rebellion at any time. I hope you can meet their demands." The officer had a good attitude, at least he did not forget about it as soon as he started.

"Mr. Captain, it is not up to me to decide whether to meet their demands. I have conveyed the order from the headquarters. If they accept it, it means they are still Allied soldiers; if they do not accept it, then they are our enemies.

"The second lieutenant has a clear distinction between love and hate. In fact, his words do not represent the attitude of the Third Army Headquarters.

Patton had characterized the mutiny of the Third Regiment as a rebellion.

Therefore, even if the soldiers of the Third Regiment lay down their weapons and surrender as required, they will be expelled from the military. Even the establishment of the "Third Regiment" will probably be abolished because of their humiliation.

Patton was treating it lightly. If Patton's method was to be followed completely, the Foreign Legion would simply be disbanded. It would be a burden at all.

"Mr. Second Lieutenant, at least rescue the detained officer first." The captain became angry because the rebels were emboldened because they had hostages in hand.

"Of course, we will try our best to do that," the second lieutenant said perfunctorily. All officers were responsible for the mutiny of the third regiment.

Therefore, if any officers of the Third Regiment were killed in this mutiny, the Free French might establish a separate honorary title for them.

It should be said that the soldiers of the Third Regiment still didn't know Patton well enough.

The French government and military's connivance with the mutinous soldiers in previous mutinies also gave the Third Regiment an illusion, making them insist that this mutiny would be the same as before, and Patton and the Third Army would also compromise.

.

So when the time came the next morning, the mutinous soldiers not only did not follow Patton's request to walk out of the camp and surrender, but instead began to build fortifications in the camp, posing as if they would not hesitate to fight the 66th Group Army.

Probably the soldiers of the 3rd Regiment believed that they could fight against the armored vehicles of the 66th Division by relying on the small pits they dug.

While building fortifications, the soldiers of the third regiment also provoked the officers and soldiers of the 66th Division who surrounded them. It was understandable that they slapped their buttocks with their middle fingers to urinate, but it was too much to imitate the monkey calls of "OoOoOo".

So when a soldier imitated a monkey and walked around with his arms open, an armored vehicle suddenly opened fire.

The armored vehicles of the 66th Division are still equipped with 12.7 mm machine guns.

Although the 12.7mm machine gun bullet is not as thick as a carrot, it is not much thinner. When the bullet hits the soldier's chest, it directly tears the soldier's body into pieces. Blood and minced meat, along with other body tissues, spray out from the soldier's body.

When it sprays out, the scene is extremely visually impactful.

The soldiers who imitated the monkeys had their bodies torn apart by bullets in an instant.

The sound of the 12.7mm machine gun firing was like a bolt from the blue, stunned the soldiers of the third regiment who were originally in joy.

The car intercom rang immediately.

"What's going on? Did the rebels take the initiative to attack us?"

I don't know why, but there was a hint of impatientness in my voice.

"Oh, I'm sorry, no, those people were happily digging a hole, it was just a misfire." The second lieutenant who had just harvested a life had cold eyes. If he wants to die, then I will help you.

ps: It’s still a big chapter of 4,000 words. I’m out of town, so just let me live on the minimum living allowance for a few days.
