842 If there is a vengeance, it will be avenged on the spot
In Belgium, which was also an ally, in Asia Minor, if the expeditionary dogs were stewed, all the Ottomans within a radius of ten miles would be thrown into concentration camps.
This is really not a trivial matter, if Roque is left alone, then today the military dogs of the expeditionary force are stolen and eaten, and tomorrow those people will dare to blatantly drive away the military vehicles of the expeditionary force, and the day after tomorrow, they will probably attack the patrol of the expeditionary force.
And is there a bit of a king law!
I really don't understand the meaning of "occupation forces", why didn't the Germans resist when they took the Belgians away as coolies.
Roque directly refused Albert I's request, and on the day of the court-martial, the audience was filled with soldiers from the expeditionary force, including Reilly's instructor Sydney.
That's right, Sydney is a female soldier.
"We saw the dog wandering around the street, sniffing and sniffing, interested in everything, Jamie said he was very hungry, we were all hungry, I hadn't eaten for three days - the dog was so fat, about fifty pounds, it didn't resist at all when we caught it, I think it was willing to be eaten by us, it was a gift from God-" The main culprit, Adam, was still defending his actions in court-martial, and he still did not know how serious the consequences were.
"Mr. Judge, I think we're wasting our time—" Ted Beeccher, Chief of the Third Division of the Logistics Department of the Expeditionary Force, who was a serious practicing lawyer, accusing the Belgians on behalf of the Expeditionary Force: "-Your Excellency, you are also a soldier, and now the criminals are ridiculing your comrade-in-arms for being so fat, weighing fifty pounds, and they regard your comrade-in-arms as a gift from God, and to be honest, I would love to shoot him with one shot now, and I think this is also my God-given right!" ”
"I didn't—I didn't mean that—" Adam's face turned pale, and he no longer had a flamboyant tongue.
"Shut up, you can only speak when I let you speak!" The judge's name was Quentin Constance, who was also an expeditionary force officer.
"Mr. Kevin—" Adam asks for help from his lawyer, Kevin Bourville, who is the Expeditionary Force's appointed lawyer for Adam.
I'm sorry, but Kevin Bourville is also an expeditionary force officer.
What Adam didn't expect was that Kevin Bourvell was discussing something with his assistant as if he hadn't heard Adam's request for help.
I guess it's a discussion of what to eat at noon.
"Reilly is an excellent military dog, he is energetic, warm and friendly, professional and strong, in Constantinople, Reilly found two treacherous mines, saved his comrades, in Flanders, Reilly worked for a day and a night, tired of being in the arms of the beautiful trainer Sydney, the soles of his feet were worn out and bleeding, but Reilly did not bark once - in the army, Reilly is everyone's good friend, good brother, we all like it - as a bastard just said, even if he is captured by those bastards, Reilly didn't resist, it didn't know that the people it saved would eat it cruelly-" As Ted Beecher complained, Sydney's weeping was heard from the auditorium, and the two female soldiers kept comforting Sydney, and all the expeditionary officers and soldiers in the auditorium looked at Adam with disgust.
Adam bowed his head expressionlessly, without reflection, without repentance, and without sadness.
"Defendant, do you have anything to say?" Quentin looked at Adam with a cold gaze.
"I-I can compensate-" Adam stammered, he hadn't figured it out until now, it was just a dog.
"The value of military dogs is immeasurable, it's not a matter of how much money, although they can't speak, but they are our comrades-in-arms, our relatives, you can pay for the money, but how do you compensate for the damage to our feelings?" Ted is in hot pursuit, the expeditionary force is not short of money, and if money is a measure of life, then there will be many people willing to pay for Adam's death.
"In accordance with Order No. 3 issued by the Expeditionary Force in September 1913, all attacks on the Expeditionary Force may be treated as hostile acts, and the accused not only attacked our comrade-in-arms, but also brutally ate it, and I ask the court to sentence the offender to death as an example—" Ted demanded not only the death penalty for Adam, but the death of all those involved, not one less.
"No, please don't do this, it's just a dog, are we willing to lose money?" Adam's body was like a sifting of chaff, and it was only then that he realized the gravity of the consequences.
"Kevin, is there anything you'd like to say?" Quentin asked Adam's lawyer.
Everyone's eyes were on Kevin, who had not said a word since the beginning of the trial.
Kevin coughed a few times, pretended to pick up the unopened document in front of him, and inadvertently saw Sydney with red eyes.
"Your Excellency, I don't have anything to say." Kevin simply.
There were sporadic applause in the courtroom.
"Now adjourn—" Quentin did not pronounce the verdict in court.
Nothing else left the scene, leaving only Quentin and Ted and Kevin.
"Ted, it's impossible to sentence them to death, at most they will be exiled and imprisoned, but rest assured, they can't get out of prison." Quentin waited for the door to close before speaking.
"It doesn't matter what happens to these people, the key is to appease our officers and soldiers, and this result will definitely not satisfy them." Ted also knew that the outcome might not be satisfactory, but the posture should still be there.
"I've received no less than 10 phone calls since yesterday, and a lot of people are paying attention to the final verdict, even the French government is paying attention, and the War Department is asking us to deal with it properly without destroying the relationship between the coalition forces, so what can we do?" Quentin can't help it, Miss Sydney is really pitiful, but she takes the overall situation into account-
hetui!
The reason for this is really indescribable.
"The main offender is executed, the accomplice is exiled, and after the rumors pass, find a reason to deal with it." Kevin was ruthless, no wonder he didn't say a word just now.
"Shoot four people for a dog—" Quentin's head was as big as a fight, and several people in Dog Day made such a big noise in order to satisfy their appetites, Quentin really wanted to kill people.
Before Kevin and Ted could speak, several gunshots suddenly rang out outside the courtroom.
"What's going on?" Quentin had frost on his face.
"Sydney has a gun, and I just met Adam in the hallway—" The gendarme, who was acting as a bailiff, sputtered.
The hallway was already in a mess.
This was a mistake by the court, and no one noticed that Sydney was carrying a gun when the trial began.
Virtually all officers and soldiers of the expedition carried pistols with them in the field, and the same was true in the courtroom, and almost all of them carried guns, including Quentin, Kevin, and Ted.
When Adam was taken out of the courtroom, when he saw Sydney, he subconsciously looked at it twice.
This can't be blamed on Adam, the female soldier in uniform -
Whoever sees it will subconsciously take a few more looks, not to mention that Sydney is still very beautiful, plus the uniform is a plus-
Sydney didn't speak, she came directly to Adam and pulled out her gun and fired, knocking Adam to the ground and making up a few more shots.
By the time the gendarmes came to their senses and snatched Sydney's gun back, Adam was dead on the spot.
What to do?
Both Kevin and Ted are watching Quentin.
Look at what I'm doing, I don't even know what to do.
Quentin made the right decision to report the matter to Roque for processing.
Albert I didn't come to Roque this time, because a dog Roque can do a lot of things, and now Reilly's handler has killed someone, let alone expect a court-martials to enforce the law impartially.
The Chief of the General Staff, Henry Wilson, had a view on the matter, and although he insisted that the 42 Belgians be severely punished, Henry Wilson also demanded that Sydney be dealt with severely.
"How?" Roque gives Henry Wilson a chance.
"Dismissal from the military and repatriation to Southern Africa." Henry Wilson felt that the punishment was already light.
"Henry, do you know, in Belgium, our precision shooters usually don't shoot the Germans to death, but wound the German soldiers in the open area, luring the German soldiers to save people, so that the dead and wounded Germans will be more and more-" Roque told Henry Wilson a story, trying to make Henry Wilson understand the feelings between the soldiers: "-The German soldiers knew that our precision shooters were aiming, and knew that if they broke out of the bunker, they would be killed directly, but the German soldiers still would not give up their comrades and fight for their lives, moths to the fire, in order to save a comrade-in-arms, sometimes a dozen people die, why? Is it worth it? ”
Henry Wilson didn't speak, he was not from an aristocratic background, he climbed up from the bottom little by little, this feeling Henry Wilson hadn't felt for a long time.
"From the Germans' standpoint, our precision shooters are despicable, I admit, they are despicable, all the exploitation of human weaknesses is despicable, but this can create more damage, one more German death, one less death of our people, so on the battlefield this is right-" Roque is right or wrong, the German precision shooters do the same.
"It's the same with Sydney, her best friend was brutally killed, for you and me, Reilly is just a dog, an ordinary soldier, but for Sydney, Reilly is her family, a part of her life." Roque was sure that it was impossible to be expelled, and it was impossible to repatriate, at most, he would suffer a serious mental blow and need to recuperate for a period of time.
Of course, if Sydney wants to retire, that's another situation.
Military dogs or police dogs, and the relationship with the trainer is very special, military dogs and police dogs live with the trainer at a very young age, train together, cultivate feelings, military dogs or police dogs after retirement, usually adopted by the trainer, and the relationship with the trainer is really like a relative, so Roque is not surprised by Sydney's behavior at all, pushing others and himself, if someone stews the little ear, Roque will also kill.
(At the end of the month, wow brothers, flip down to see if there is anything left uncast, and it will be invalid after this month, don't miss it when you pass by-)
