A story about courage

I saw a story: the boss recruited employees and three people applied. The boss said to the first candidate, there is a glass window in the corridor. You break it with your fist. The applicant carried it out. Fortunately, it is not a real piece of glass, otherwise his hand will be seriously injured. The boss said to the second candidate, here is a bucket of dirty water, you pour it on the cleaner. She is resting in the hut at the corner of the corridor at the moment. Don't talk, just push the door open and throw it on her. The applicant went out with dirty water, found the hut, pushed open the door and found a female cleaner sitting there. He didn't speak. He spilled dirty water on her head and turned to work for the boss. The boss told him at this time that what was sitting there was just a wax figure. The boss finally said to the third candidate, there is a fat man sitting in the hall. Go and beat him hard. The applicant said, I'm sorry, I have no reason to hit him; Even if there is a reason, I can't hit people. Therefore, I may not be employed by you, but I will not carry out your orders. At this point, the boss announced that he would hire a third candidate on the grounds that he was a brave man and a rational man. He has the courage not to carry out the absurd orders of his boss, and of course he has the courage not to carry out the absurd orders of others.

General de Gaulle also met such a brave man. Yes 1965. There was a popular uprising in France, and students and citizens in Paris took to the streets, demanding that Charles de Gaulle, then president, step down. Desperate, Charles de Gaulle came to Baden, Germany. The headquarters of France in Germany is located here. De Gaulle asked the commander of the French army stationed in Germany to lead the troops back to Paris to quell the rebellion. But Charles de Gaulle's two requests were rejected by the commander of the French army in Germany, and he also persuaded Charles de Gaulle to give up this order. Later, Charles de Gaulle thanked the commander very much and praised him for bravely refusing to carry out his orders. He also wrote to the commander's wife, saying that it was God who sent him to baden-baden when he was helpless, and it was God who made him meet the commander. Otherwise, he may be a sinner of history.
