Robert George Niweiler, this man has a deep connection with the Far East.

As early as 1900, Nivelle had participated in the French Expeditionary Force that suppressed the Boxer Rebellion and served as an artillery officer in the expeditionary force. A very capable commander and organizer of field artillery, Nivele believed in "cannon to conquer, infantry to occupy" and he believed that saturation bombing could break the enemy's line defenses. He was once condemned for ignoring the lives of soldiers because of excessive casualties when commanding troops in combat, and even caused a mutiny in the army.

It's not easy to deal with such people.

People like Nivele are generally very stubborn, with firm beliefs and strong opinions. The things that such people believe will generally not change due to objective reasons. In view of the relationship between Nivelle and Foch, although Qin Zhiyuan has not met Nivelle yet, he can already imagine Nivelle's attitude towards Qin Zhiyuan.

There is a 90% chance that Nivelle will favor the French soldiers.

Although Marie's family is French, they will not receive special treatment from Nivelle. Nivel leads troops in battles and is known for his disregard for life. For people like Nivel, life is just a number on paper. Nivel does not want to try to understand the meaning behind these numbers.

In order to increase his chances of winning, Qin Zhiyuan still has a lot of preliminary work to do.

Summer Midnight Restaurant.

In the cold winter, the tables in the restaurant are no longer decorated with flowers, but paper flowers are used.

Of course, this is more likely due to a shortage of supplies.

Qin Zhiyuan had lunch with Thomson and Andre.

Thomson is the sheriff of Kapi Town, and Andre is the mayor of Kapi Town. The two of them will go to Verdun with Qin Zhiyuan on behalf of Kapi Town.

"Yes, we must pursue it to the end, and those who have made mistakes must be punished." Thomson is a middle-aged fat man in his forties. He used to be a soldier, and after retiring, he served as the peace officer in Kapi.

Thomson's legs and feet are a bit handicapped. He must have been injured before and had a broken hand. Otherwise, he would have enlisted in the army now.

"Woodson is not an easy person to deal with. We must be fully prepared." Andre is in his fifties, with gray hair and a thin body.

When the Forty-fifth Division was stationed in Kapi, Andre had interacted with the officers of the Forty-fifth Division. Of course, due to the limitation of his rank, Andre could not come into contact with the level of division commander. At most, he could contact the officers responsible for the town and Kapi. The logistics officer of the 45th Division contacted, Woodson estimated that he was responsible for this aspect in the 45th Division.

"There are definitely difficulties, but it is precisely because of the existence of difficulties that life becomes colorful. We cannot be intimidated by difficulties and should face them head on." Qin Zhiyuan said.

No matter what Andre and Woodson think, Qin Zhiyuan must seek justice for Mary's family. Mary is now a member of the First Brigade, and Qin Zhiyuan has reason to protect her.

"You're so right! Qin, you are such a noble person." Thomson praised with high fives.

"France has never been afraid. We have never been afraid of anyone. Whether it is the Russians or the Germans, France has always been the most unruly." Andre is worthy of being the mayor of the town, and he speaks from a far-sighted perspective.

"Qin, I want to thank you. It is precisely because of your presence that the security of Kapi has become much better." Thomson said sincerely.

After the tragedy of Mary's family, the 1st Brigade began sending patrols in the Kapi area. This move is still very effective. There have been no petty thefts in the Kapi area in the past few days, and the number of crowd fights has also decreased. Not only the Indian and Annan borrowed workers have behaved themselves, but also the French soldiers have restrained themselves a lot.

"Yes, Qin, you have changed my impression of Chinese people." Before Qin Zhiyuan could answer, Andre took over the topic: "Maybe you don't know, before I met you, the Chinese people in my impression were ugly. Please forgive me for describing it this way. In my impression, Chinese people have a hair that is only worn by women. With long braid, green face and fangs, sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, it seems that you have not brushed your teeth since the day you were born. I must say that you are a true gentleman, kind, brave, fearless and helpful. It seems that you have never brushed your teeth since the day you were born. You have all these qualities. It’s not wrong for the Kapi people to call you ‘angel’.”

Before World War I, after decades or hundreds of years of vilification, the Chinese were indeed the image Andre described in the minds of Westerners. Qin Zhiyuan joined the Foreign Legion because he wanted to reshape the image of the Chinese in the hearts of Westerners. This task has a long way to go. So far, it seems that Qin Zhiyuan has done a good job.

"Thank you for your compliments, Andre and Thomson. You must know that the Chinese have a 5,000-year history of civilization. People born from this great and long civilization will possess some of the traditional virtues of Chinese civilization." Qin Zhiyuan said 5,000 years ago On the lips.

Qin Zhiyuan often mentions 5000 years, not because there is nothing else to say, but because 5000 years is so powerful that as long as it is brought out, Westerners and Easterners will basically kneel down when they see it. Since it is so easy to use, Qin Zhiyuan has no reason not to use it. He has some shortcomings and some strengths, and he can't compare his own shortcomings with the strengths of others.

"5,000 years, that's really not easy!" Andre shook his head in admiration.

Just as Qin Zhiyuan thought, Andre immediately knelt down as soon as the "5000 Years" killer weapon came out. Although Thomson didn't say anything, the envy in his eyes was beyond words.

The three were eating and chatting, and Julie led a few people into the restaurant.

"Please allow me to introduce, this is Qin, the commander of the First Brigade of the Foreign Legion. He is the first foreign general of the Foreign Legion. He has made outstanding achievements in the Capi area and is loved by the locals. He is called an "angel" by people, which is not an exaggeration." Julie praised Qin Zhiyuan like a flower.

"This is Lance, a reporter from Le Figaro. He heard about Mary's story and wanted to do a follow-up interview." Julie continued to introduce.

Le Figaro can be said to be the most fearless newspaper in France, fearless to the extent that it can cause death. Just two years ago, Gaston Calmet, the editor-in-chief of Le Figaro, was shot dead by Henriette Cailot, the second wife of former French Prime Minister Joseph Cailot, because the newspaper launched a nationwide media campaign questioning Joseph Cailot's character.

"This is Philippe, the editor of Le Presse. He is very concerned about this matter and has prepared a column for it." Julie continued to introduce.

Le Presse was founded by Emile de Girardin, known as the "Napoleon of the Press". It is the first cheap newspaper in France and the pioneer of popular newspapers in France.

"Welcome to everyone. It's a pleasure to meet you. In the next period of time, we must work together to seek justice for Marie's family. Marie's husband, brother and younger brother all died for the country during the war. She is now a woman raising four children and supporting two elderly people. Unexpectedly, she was treated like this. This is unfair! We can't let the hero's family shed blood, sweat and tears." Qin Zhiyuan set the tone.

Hero, this term is actually very heavy.
