More than 50,000 Frenchmen entered the prisoner-of-war camp, with 10,000 people as one battalion, divided into six battalions, staying in Italy or sending them to Austria.

Their disposal was also announced:

Implement military camp management, get up at the right time, go to bed at the right time, and orders are prohibited.

Abide by the rules and regulations in the prisoner-of-war camp, if you make a mistake, you will be punished and implement a joint seat system, that is, ten people will be in a class. If someone makes a mistake, the whole class will be punished together!

The food was consistent with the French army. Officers often had meat to eat, and soldiers ate meat to eat when improving their food every week.

All soldiers must participate in manual labor. The officers are well treated and can do work such as managing canteens, sanitation or managing military supplies storage rooms without manual labor. Those who do not do these tasks will be supervisors in mines, sand yards or brick factories.

Labor can be paid, and they will receive one-third of the market price of workers as compensation, and can buy items at the POW camp convenience store, but those who do not work hard can buy nothing.

Not only this group of French prisoners of war, but the previous prisoners of war were also included in the management of prisoners of war camps.

...

The French prisoners of war were settled down and were not strict in their management. They were mainly guarded by the Austrians. They would not be too bad to their Catholic brothers. If it were the Annans, Japanese or sticks, they would teach the French to understand the principles of being a human being in minutes!

The prisoners of war work varied, including road construction, land reclamation, excavation to mines, brick making, sand digging, etc.

According to the ten-hour working system a day, three meals a day are all free.

The kingdom of Shinra said that the workers were rewarded was not money, but internal tickets. With this, they could buy all kinds of things from the convenience store in the camp, including food, cigarettes, coffee, tea, soap, towels, etc., and provide wine or sour wine during major holidays and rations.

The rewards given by the management are fair, and the goods in the convenience store are of good quality and the price is not too outrageous.

As the work progressed, prisoners of war could even buy stir-fry to improve their food, and they could organize more entertainment. When the weather permitted, the French could enjoy comprehensive amateur art performances and concerts played by bands--the management provided instruments for the prisoners of war, and the prisoners of war even organized choirs!

Every week, priests from outside give them a mass and allow prisoners of war to send simple letters of peace. They have to buy postcards with internal tickets, so those who do not work will not be able to move forward. There is no internal bullying, but after being reported, they will be punished, so the bullying is not strong.

The injury is treated and there is no need to work on one day of the week.

Captured officers were respected, such as senior officials who joined the Prisoners of War Management Committee, who sat and ate tea, coffee and bragged, but could receive the highest reward.

In short, the life of the prisoners of war was OK. What made them excited was that they were organized to visit the Austrian military camp.

Organize according to three types of identities, namely senior officers, ordinary officers and soldiers representatives, of which 50% of the soldiers are represented.

Clean and well-organized military camps, some high-standard military camps are like garden villa communities, providing hot water, laundry services, and living conditions are good.

The full mental outlook of the Austrian soldiers made the French army feel deeply. The French knew that the Austrians recognized a pagan as the emperor and thought they were miserable, but when they saw the Austrians' excited appearance, the French were amazed.

For example, Major General De Smith of the French Army asked Austrian General how Major General Joseph was. When Major General Joseph said it was very good, Major General De Smith thought the other party was a fat man, and forced a smile in front of outsiders, but he didn't expect it to be true.

The French envied the weapons that the Austrian army had. Weapons were the first life of soldiers, and good weapons were deeply loved by soldiers, and French soldiers were no exception.

The French soldiers couldn't put down the cold and well-made guns with reliable performance and comfortable operation. The gun body was smooth, without any pits or protrusions, as well as the strong bow and the blue and light-tempered steel arrows.

When I heard that Austrian soldiers trained at least 100 live ammunition shooting in a year and the Chinese had 200 shots, the French soldiers nodded: "No wonder they have accurate marksmanship!"

The French elite troops only trained fifty live ammunition shooting in a year, and the French soldiers trained thirty or forty live ammunition in a year, and there were more than one hundred live ammunition training in a year.

The shooting accuracy is fed by bullets. The French army equipped some rifled rifles, but the number of live ammunition training is relatively small. Because more rifled rifles will abrade the barrel, they can afford to buy rifled rifles but cannot be used. Only the wealthy Chinese army equipped the troops with rifled rifled and live ammunition training, which the French really can't compare.

Now the Austrian army is also moving closer to the Chinese army, which makes the French soldiers envious.

What they care more about is the current military pay and food of the Austrian army!

Compared with the past, the Austrian army's military pay increased by at least 30%, with generous treatment and a perfect pension system.

As for food, the French army was most moved.

The Austrian army's food has made a qualitative leap from before. In the past, they all ate rough rye bread and beans with the French army, and there was not much meat. Now it is:

The staple food is better quality bread, cake (usually) or biscuits (mainly wartime);

The side dishes are fresh meat (usually) and hard bacon (mainly wartime), with types including bacon, air-dried meat or bacon, smoked fish, sausage (a lot of types), as well as vegetables including potatoes, or dried vegetables (dried Chinese vegetables, pickled vegetables, kimchi, etc. were introduced);

The following are colorful, including jam, cheese or butter, salt, pepper, yellow mustard, as well as black tea and matching sugar cubes (Austrians drink a lot of black tea), orange juice, and coffee;

Candies and cigarettes are provided!

Then there is the novel chocolate!

When there is no war, I will give you a drink during major holidays.

Wow, the French soldiers tasted the Austrian food, especially the chocolate, so sweet that they couldn't speak.

Of course, the food placed in front of the French is very beautiful, and it may not be able to be replenished during wartime, but according to the Austrian logistics officer, "Logistics support is combat effectiveness. We guarantee at least three things to be delivered, bread is indispensable, bacon is necessary, and cigarettes should be available!"

The French soldiers applauded and went back to talk to the other prisoners of war, which made them all salivate and yearn for it!

In this way, it is said that after participating, the Austrian army was treated more than 80%, and the French foreign defense officer (outsourced defense personnel) who belonged to the Shinra Empire was successfully established!

This unit was commanded by Lieutenant General Bilt Balzac, who was a tragic man. Since he was not favored by the French, he did not need to be regarded as a favor.

Participants voluntarily signed up. At first, there were only 10,000 foreign defensemen in France, but later the number continued to increase.

This foreign defense team was established and played a great role in attacking the fortress group that broke the southern border of France and Italy!
