Expedition to Europe

(This chapter is an extra chapter, there will be another chapter at 8 o'clock. This chapter is dedicated to the brothers who voted for the monthly ticket in the past two days, especially the Godfather who gave the only monthly ticket to Yutou... I am really touched!)

Since arriving in Marseille, Qin Zhiyuan has deeply felt the atmosphere of the war.

In recent times, Qin Zhiyuan has been traveling between Corsica and Paris by plane, and has not been to Marseille for more than half a month.

When landing in Marseille again, Marseille is a completely unfamiliar place for the First Brigade, just like when it just arrived in Europe in July last year.

Although it is the largest port in France, the congestion in Marseille Port is shocking. From the port to the Ile d'If, it is full of various ships ready to enter the port.

The First Brigade has been waiting for three hours, and the team in front is still far away.

So Qin Zhiyuan contacted the Marseille Port Management Committee. When Qin Zhiyuan stated that the ship he belonged to was transporting troops and was going to Paris to participate in the war, the ship on which the First Brigade took was finally arranged to enter the port first.

So when Qin Zhiyuan boarded the port of Marseille, seven hours had passed.

And this was the result of the First Brigade not carrying heavy weapons.

This time, the First Brigade only carried light weapons, and all heavy weapons were left in Corsica, including all tanks and even artillery cannons.

In Paris, old Renault prepared brand new weapons, waiting for the First Brigade to go to Paris to receive them.

Because of the emergence of containers, a new batch of gantry cranes were added to the dock, and flat-head trucks produced by Renault Automobile Group were waiting at the dock. These cars will transport these containers to the train station, and then use the railway to transport them to the final destination.

Thanks to the emergence of containers, the First Brigade was able to rush to Paris at the fastest speed, otherwise, with the busyness of the Marseille train station, it is unknown how long it will take.

When arriving in Paris, I encountered a new thing. The Paris train station was decorated with lights and colors, as if to welcome some big shots.

After asking the station staff, I learned that the first batch of US military "First Division" to participate in the war in Europe would arrive in Paris in a few hours, and this welcome ceremony was prepared for the Americans.

This made Qin Zhiyuan feel bored. The First Brigade had participated in the war for more than half a year, but no one cared about it when it returned to Paris. The Americans had just arrived and had not made any contribution, but they had to enjoy a grand welcome ceremony, which was speechless.

This fully illustrates the importance of having a strong motherland.

When Qin Zhiyuan told Chen Kangjian beside him this sentence, Chen Kangjian nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Although the soldiers in the First Brigade have already possessed relatively superb combat skills, in some ways, they may not necessarily have strong combat effectiveness. The biggest problem of this unit now is: "no faith".

Qin Zhiyuan's goal has always been very clear, which is "to work hard for the rise of China".

Qin Zhiyuan hopes that this is also the belief of all soldiers, but how to make all soldiers understand the meaning of this sentence and agree with this concept, Qin Zhiyuan still has more work to do.

So starting from a little bit, changing the beliefs of the generals around him has become Qin Zhiyuan's tireless pursuit since the end of last year. The effect is quite good. Under Qin Zhiyuan's emphasis, which is almost like brainwashing, Chen Kangjian and others have now accepted this concept and are gradually influencing the people around them.

The Paris train station is not far from the Bois de Boulogne, and the old Renault sent more than 200 trucks to help the First Brigade with transportation. These trucks will be delivered to the First Brigade for use later. It can be said that the First Brigade began to change clothes from the first moment it arrived in Paris.

The square in front of the station is also decorated with lights and colors. The ammunition boxes and tents of wounded soldiers that were piled up here waiting for transportation have been moved, and the entire square has returned to the cleanliness and tidiness before the war. Someone is cleaning up the garbage and dirt on the sculptures scattered throughout the square. These things are the lifeblood of Parisians. You can go without food and sleep, but you can't live without art. This is a creed recognized by many Parisians.

Even if it is not for welcoming yourself, a clean and tidy welcome is enough to make people happy physically and mentally. Therefore, when the First Brigade lined up to board the train in the square in front of the station, Qin Zhiyuan was in a good mood.

This good mood lasted until the Black Swan Castle.

Unlike ordinary soldiers, Qin Zhiyuan was riding in a car, so he was faster and returned to the Bois de Boulogne first. When Qin Zhiyuan arrived at the Black Swan Castle, he noticed that many people were confronting each other in front of the castle. On one side were the soldiers of the First Brigade guarding the Black Swan Castle, and on the other side were French gendarmes wearing gendarme uniforms.

"I have already told you, sir, this belongs to the First Brigade of the Foreign Legion. No one is allowed to enter without the permission of the Foreign Legion! Anyone who dares to break in will be killed without mercy." An officer of the First Brigade with the rank of lieutenant had an arrogant expression.

Parisians have a very contradictory and harmonious characteristic. In their hearts, Parisians look down on all outsiders; but in terms of cultivation, Parisians will maintain that "polite" attitude in dealing with people. When these emotions are expressed in a concentrated manner, Parisians will look gentle and polite to others, but at the same time they will keep people at a distance.

The soldiers of the First Brigade have been in Paris for a long time, and it is inevitable that they will be infected with some Parisian problems. The officer in front of him is one of the victims. Although the lieutenant used honorifics, his expression and tone did not show any respect, even though there was a lieutenant colonel standing in front of him.

It is indeed a lieutenant colonel. Qin Zhiyuan also knows him. It is that Elton.

It seems that the negotiations have been going on for a while. Elton is well prepared. Hearing the lieutenant say so, Elton immediately took out a prepared document: "Please read it carefully. This is an official letter from the headquarters of the Algerian Foreign Legion. It says that you are required to cooperate with the requirements of the Paris City Defense Command."

Facing a lieutenant whose rank is much lower than his, Elton was too lazy to even take out the fake "aristocratic demeanor". He just held the already opened official letter in one hand and showed it to the lieutenant.

"Sorry, I don't understand." The lieutenant didn't even look at the official letter that Elton had high hopes for. His understated answer could choke people to death: "Please ask the legion headquarters to send someone to give orders, or give the order directly to our general. With just such an official document, we can't transfer the defense of the Bois de Boulogne to you."

"Are you going to disobey orders?" Elton's long-accumulated anger suddenly broke out.

"I didn't get any orders at all, how can I say 'disobey orders'?" The lieutenant was calm and composed, and he had a good way of keeping his temper.

"Your First Brigade is rotten from top to bottom. You treat military orders as a joke. You resist whenever you want. Do you still have even a little bit of honor and mission as a soldier?" Elton cursed. If he hadn't been concerned about the black muzzles of the guns in the hands of the soldiers of the First Brigade around him, he really wanted to order his men to break through by force.

"It's not up to you to decide whether it's rotten or not. The honor of a soldier is not reflected in Paris, but on the battlefield. I fought on the front line for a whole winter last year. What qualifications do you, a young man who has been hiding in Paris, have to criticize me?" The lieutenant was not easy to mess with. His French was now so good that he could curse at others.

"Well said!" Qin Zhiyuan got out of the car, strode to Elton, and looked down at Elton from a high position.

Qin Zhiyuan, who was 1.8 meters tall, had a psychological advantage standing in front of Elton, who was 1.7 meters tall.
