Chapter 102 The brilliance of
Laurent drove back to the factory alone after sending Charles home. Along the way, he was thinking about whether to strengthen the defense near Charles's house.
In addition, it's time to clear out those guys in the guard camp who are against the capitalists!
If Colonel Durand will be used by the capitalists as a tool to persecute Charles, these people in the guard camp may become "unstable elements".
The general is no longer pretending in the headquarters, and it seems unnecessary for the guard camp to pretend anymore. Keeping these "unstable elements" is always a hidden danger, and they should be transferred away resolutely!
Just thinking about it, a car suddenly came in the opposite direction in the sun. Laurent slammed the steering wheel to the side and stepped on the brakes to stop by luck. The car stalled. Major Laurent was about to get angry, but he didn't expect the other party to scold first: "Look at the road, you idiot!"
Laurent turned sideways and followed the car that was gradually going away. It didn't take much effort to recognize that it was Pierre from Francis's family, Charles' uncle.
This guy must have played all night in Paris again and went home at this time.
Laurent then remembered the conscription quota recommended by Charles two days ago. Laurent had been in solitary confinement for the past two days and had no time to deal with it. He almost forgot about it. He didn't expect this guy to run into the gun himself!
Laurent raised his eyebrows, took the rocker, got out of the car to start the car, and then drove the car back to the road.
After arriving at the factory, Laurent immediately called the conscription office:
"Hello, I'm Major Laurent of the City Defense Command!"
"Check someone, I want to know if his exemption qualification is fake!"
"Pierre Bernard from Lavaise!"
"You know, the army is short of manpower now, and the phenomenon of evading military service with fake information is becoming more and more serious. We plan to catch a few typical examples!"
"Yes, hurry up!"
...
Major Laurent has been in the army for many years, and he knows how to get their attention.
After hanging up the phone, Major Laurent suddenly felt that he didn't need to kick out the guards who hated the capitalists. After all, they had followed him for many years, and they were his subordinates who listened to his propaganda and stood on his side. They were loyal, but just a little stupid.
If they were transferred to other troops or rushed to the battlefield, it would be unfair to them. Laurent was not such a conscienceless person.
They were still useful, for example... sending them to "protect" Francis' factory. After all, Francis' tractor factory was where tanks were produced, and they also needed monitoring and special attention.
Laurent lit a cigarette for himself, exhaled a puff of smoke and murmured: "Everything is under control!"
...
In the small town of Lavaise, the reporters surrounding Charles's house suddenly drove away in a huff. They were originally flocking to them and disappeared without a trace in the next second.
Camille and Deyoka were a little puzzled. Did something happen again?
They were now a little nervous because of Charles. After what happened just now, even if Charles told them that he had traveled from a hundred years later, they would not doubt it.
Soon they knew the answer...
As soon as the reporter left, the neighbors came over one after another:
"Mr. Djoka, I heard that Master Charles saved Antwerp? He is amazing!"
"Yes, he went to Antwerp alone, without even a guard, but defeated the Germans!"
"I heard that he also won a Royal Crown Medal, which is the highest honor in Belgium!"
...
Djoka opened the door and asked in confusion: "How do you know?"
Someone raised the "Little Daily" in his hand to Djoka: "It's written in the newspaper! Don't you know it?"
Djoka rushed up and said: "Sorry, can you give me a copy?"
"Of course!" The neighbors handed over the newspapers one after another.
"This..."
"And this one, this is from yesterday!"
"This is from the day before yesterday!"
...
Dejoka looked at the three newspapers with different dates in his hand in surprise. They actually completely recorded everything that happened to Charles after he arrived in Belgium.
This is the brilliance of "Little Daily".
When the media was controlled, "Little Daily" had already begun to track what Charles did in Belgium and printed an extra newspaper, one per day.
Control?
It doesn't matter. All these newspapers are stored in the warehouse and not distributed.
They will be stored for as many days as the control lasts. Bonnet knows that these newspapers will not be sold. At most, they will waste a little space in the warehouse.
After the military lifted the control, Bonnet threw all the stored newspapers into the market at once, with every detail from beginning to end, and also with imaginary cartoon pictures.
At this time, reporters from other newspapers were still surrounding Charles's door and were worried about not getting an interview opportunity.
This is also the reason why the reporters left suddenly. Once "Little Daily" was on the market, there was no point in interviewing. Everything was in "Little Daily". If you want to know something, just buy a newspaper!
Bonnet thus became a winner in life. The circulation of the "Little Journal" instantly doubled and became a hot publication.
The French people were stimulated by Charles's huge success in Antwerp and were crazy. Charles' heroic deeds in Belgium were everywhere in the streets and alleys.
This was different from saving France. Charles was winning glory for the country in Belgium. He alone defeated the British army of more than 10,000 people. They were not even worth mentioning in front of Charles. The only thing worth praising was that they saved Charles who was under house arrest.
The French were all proud of it, and people proudly said: "Look, this is the power of France!"
But what was written in the newspaper frightened Dejoka and Camille.
Dejoka took the newspaper and read it with difficulty: "Three 'Big Bertha', German heavy artillery, caliber... 420 mm!"
Camille took a tape measure and measured her waist circumference, 581 mm.
"God!" She exclaimed: "The barrel is almost up to my waist!"
"No, Camille!" Dejoka knew more about military affairs, and he replied: "420 mm is the inner diameter, plus the thick barrel, it may be 600 mm!"
Camille's face turned pale with fear, such a large heavy artillery, unheard of! But they were blown up by Charles, three of them!
The airship was even more incredible. The newspaper gave the approximate data of the airship: 144 meters long, 25 meters in diameter, and a speed of 75.6 kilometers per hour.
"Am I seeing right? 144 meters?" Deyoka looked at the newspaper in disbelief: "Did they miss a decimal point?"
Camille had no idea of length, she hesitated and asked: "How far is 144 meters?"
Deyoka thought for a while and replied: "From the town entrance to our house, it's about this distance!"
Camille was stunned on the spot, and then said angrily and fearfully: "They actually let Charles face such a monster? Such a behemoth, and it's flying in the sky!"
People who don't understand the military, they will not think deeply about which equipment is more important and more difficult to deal with, they will only look at which equipment is bigger and more terrifying!
"The point is that Charles is back!" Deyoka advised: "Charles defeated them and is upstairs now!"
But this still didn't make Camille give up the idea of seeking a settlement with the military, because she thought this could prevent similar things from happening again.
