After the outbreak of the World War, the War Department issued about 150 war coverage permits for media coverage of the front.

The position of the media in this era was not clear enough, and many war correspondents who reported on the war were of German ancestry, so some of the reports that appeared in the newspapers were actually very unfavorable to Britain.

Even if all the media are not exaggerated, not biased, and truthfully report the world war, it is actually very bad for Britain, think about how many people have died since the world war has been going on, if the media reports the truth, then the British still dare to join the army, those pacifists in Britain will make trouble, and Frenzi's sister is a pacifist.

In consideration of the needs of the world war, the War Department no longer issued new war coverage permits, and the certificates that had already been issued were gradually withdrawn.

What the two reporters captured by Martin's men has yet to be verified, and judging from the diary alone, if it is reported, it will have a great impact on the Yugoslav coalition forces.

Even if it is not reported now, considering the virtue of the British, as long as they have some writing ability, they are willing to write some "memoirs" and other things to monetize, which is also a huge threat to the Yugoslav coalition army.

"What about them?" Martin has a bit of a headache, but his subordinates still can't do things.

"We were met with resistance when we captured them, they were armed and died unexpectedly during the capture—" The lieutenant replied to Martin's satisfaction.

"What nonsense, how can this be!" Martin snapped the case, and the expression on his face was not angry, but almost laughing.

"Uh, no, they were attacked by the rebels, and by the time we arrived, the rebels had already fled and taken what they were carrying." The lieutenant is still very smart, that's right.

"Immediately send out the gendarmerie and put all the Ottomans within ten miles of the site of the attack into concentration camps." Martin closed the journal in his hand, still returning to the pile of items.

The adjutant immediately packed up all his things and took them away, and there was no need to ask Martin for what to do.

It's not right, if there is such a thing in the future, it is estimated that it will not be reported to Martin, during the world war, I don't know how many Britons were killed, and some Britons who did not know whether they were alive or dead rashly broke into the battlefield, and the probability of accidents was very high.

Roque did not know what was going on in Damascus, and he was now in Paris, attending the funeral of Joseph Gallieni.

Joseph Gallieni was probably the best general of the French army, and during the Battle of the Marne, Joseph Gallieni, who served as the commander of the defense of Paris, played a huge role, and although most of the glory for winning the Battle of the Marne went to Chauffeur, Joseph Gallieni was indispensable.

After serving as Minister of War, Joseph Gallerieni dragged his sick body around the clock to ensure that France continued to fight, and finally became tired of his work, and last winter, Joseph Gallerieni underwent his first operation.

The operation was carried out quite successfully, Joseph Gallieni returned to work, at this time Germany launched the Battle of Verdun, Xiafei transferred Verdun's troops and artillery to the Somme before the war, preparing to launch the Battle of the Somme, so that Verdun was empty, the French army suffered heavy casualties, the cabinet believed that Xiafei must be responsible for this, Joseph Gallieri once again protected Xiafei, Xiafei was a hero of France, Joseph Gallieri advocated that Xiafei be transferred back to Paris as commander-in-chief of the army, but only responsible for rear quartermaster management, It's about the same as Kitchener in England now.

However, this suggestion was fiercely opposed by Xia Fei, who believed that Joseph Gallieni was targeting him, and often quarreled with Joseph Gallieni, despite the fact that Joseph Gallieni had not fully recovered.

Joseph Gallieni's secretarial meeting, Xia Fei often slapped the table in Joseph Gallieni's office.

At the end of February, Joseph Gallieni's condition deteriorated and doctors told him that he needed to take a six-month break before the second surgery to recuperate so that he could face the surgery in better physical condition.

Joseph Gallieni rejected the doctor's advice, the battle of Verdun was raging, France was on the brink of life and death, and Joseph Gallieni had no time to rest.

The doctor's advice was correct, Joseph Gallieri died of a serious illness before he could wait for the second operation, and Roque respected Joseph Gallieri very much and took the initiative to come to Paris from Cyprus to attend Joseph Gallieni's funeral.

In Paris, Roque also learned more and more about the Battle of the Somme.

At first, Xia Fei was only going to send 45 divisions to participate in the battle, but as time passed, 45 divisions were no longer enough to complete Xia Fei's vision, so the number of troops participating in the battle increased to 60 divisions, so that the Anglo-French forces in France were insufficient, and the cooperation of the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force was needed.

Roque knew that like the Battle of Verdun, the Battle of the Somme was another cruel meat grinder, another time and space when the British and French forces suffered more than 620,000 casualties in the Battle of the Somme, the highest casualty figure in the history of war, including 420,000 casualties of the British Expeditionary Force, 200,000 casualties of the French army, and 630,000 casualties of the German army.

During the Battle of the Somme, the main French army was attracted to Verdun, so the British expeditionary force was the main force, and as a result, the British suffered 420,000 casualties in five months, and their vitality was greatly damaged.

Knowing the outcome of the Battle of the Somme, Roque had sufficient reasons to oppose the launch of the Battle of the Somme, so Roque was resolute and refused to send troops of the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force to the war on the grounds that the fighting in Asia Minor had not completely stopped.

But the reason for launching the Battle of the Somme was equally strong, the French army suffered heavy casualties at Verdun and urgently needed to relieve the pressure, the Russian Empire launched an attack on the German army at Lake Naraci near Vilnius, Nicholas II had a low eye, and there were also problems in the use of personnel, and the general in charge of directing the attack was the 68-year-old veteran general Kulopatkin, who served as Minister of War during the Russo-Japanese War, commanding the Russian troops in a decisive battle with the Japanese in the Far East, because the Russian army was dismissed from his post because of the crushing defeat of the Russian army.

After the outbreak of the world war, Kulopatkin returned to the army as commander-in-chief of Army Group North, his preparation was not sufficient, the offensive lasted only a week, the Russian troops made some progress, but the offensive had to be stopped.

In just one week, 12,000 soldiers froze to death in the Russian Empire, and it is hard to imagine that this happened in the Russian Empire, where the cold weather, which had always been Russia's "fifth column", had now become an accomplice of Germany.

When Joseph Galieni was Minister of War, the logistics of the front-line troops were very smooth, and Xia Fei wanted troops to have troops, and the Entente was reversing the disadvantages they had since the outbreak of the war.

When Galileni was still alive, Xia Fei didn't feel the convenience that Galileni brings, and now that Galileni is dead, Xia Fei begins to realize how important Gallieni's presence is.

It's a pity that it's too late, the French cabinet has discussed many times whether to remove Xia Fei, many times before it was Gallieni's resolute support, Xia Fei can stay in office, and now Xia Fei has lost his talisman, through Gallieni, everyone knows that Xia Fei is a cold person, and the next time someone proposes to replace the commander-in-chief of the French army, no one will speak for Xia Fei again.

Before and after Gallieni's funeral, Roque had been living in Paris, as the conqueror of the Ottoman Empire, people who wanted to visit Roque were like carp crossing the river, but not everyone had the opportunity, Paul Corker and Louis Botha were frequent guests in Roque's home, and Louis Botha was representing the Federal Government of Southern Africa at Joseph Gallieni's funeral.

"Sometimes we have to admit that luck is really important for a country, and if our dull general escapes again, the officers and soldiers on the front line must be very disappointed." Louis Botha has some physical fortune, he has always been on the edge of the federal government, and he is naturally fat.

Louis Botha was talking about Chauffeur, who had broken through the French lines in an attack on the west bank of the Merz River just five days earlier, and the French troops were desperately trying to plug the gap under the pressure of machine guns.

The next day, Xia Fei gave Bettain an order, requiring him to "launch a brave and powerful counterattack in the shortest possible time".

Before Pétain could organize a counterattack, the German attack struck again, this time the Germans consumed seven trains of shells before the infantry attack, and the German offensive was forced to stop when the collapse of the Vietnamese position was imminent, and suddenly heavy rain fell from the sky, and the German offensive was forced to stop.

It seems that God is the least positioned, in Lake Narachi, the weather has just helped Germany, and now it is starting to help France, I don't know which country will be the next lucky one.

"Not necessarily, what kind of generals there are, what kind of subordinates, the butcher's subordinates are the most important thing is the butcher, so they don't care about the sacrifice of the soldiers." Roque disagreed, Xia Fei's men now gathered a group of butchers, and Petain was different.

In the Battle of Verdun, it was not the hero who emerged, but the butcher, that is, after Robert Niveller, a new butcher Charles Manin appeared in the French army, who commanded the most elite fifth division of the French army, never cared about the casualties of the soldiers, and was directly nicknamed "butcher" by the soldiers.

Another butcher who forced his soldiers to attack with a machine gun was Robert Niveller, who was now a favorite of Xiafei's henchmen, and Petain was gradually being marginalized because he was not liked by Xiafei due to his rotational tactics.

Another of Xiafei's confidants will be Foch, who is now on the north bank of the Somme and is preparing to launch the Battle of the Somme.
