Expedition to Europe

Half a year ago, Qin Zhiyuan, Bastien and Bruno founded "LLL". At that time, all three of them were colonels, which was well deserved.

I remember that Qin Zhiyuan joked that maybe "LLL" should be changed to "GGG". At that time, the three of them just laughed it off. Unexpectedly, only half a year later, the three colonels really became three generals.

War is really a good opportunity for military promotion.

The business of "LLL" company has now entered the track. The assets under the names of Qin Zhiyuan and the other two are increasing every month, especially after Gaspard took care of Qin Zhiyuan's finances, the increase is getting bigger and bigger.

Gaspard promised that as long as he helped Qin Zhiyuan manage his finances, Qin Zhiyuan's assets would increase at a rate of 30% per year. Now it seems that Gaspard still made a discount. Since Gaspard took care of Qin Zhiyuan's finances, Qin Zhiyuan's assets are accumulating rapidly at a rate of 50%, and the time unit is month, not year.

In other words, Qin Zhiyuan's money will increase by 50% every month.

This is under the premise that Qin Zhiyuan mobilized a large amount of funds to invest in the construction of Corsica.

While Qin Zhiyuan's assets increased, Bastien and Bruno's assets also increased. Because of the different businesses, Bastien and Bruno's growth rate was not as fast as Qin Zhiyuan's, but it was enough to satisfy Bastien and Bruno. The fact that they could become generals in such a short time was a clear proof.

Who said that Westerners are more honest?

"Money moves people's hearts" is a common saying in both the East and the West!

With this relationship as a foundation, Qin Zhiyuan and Foch went directly to the meeting room in the 32nd Division's barracks.

And it was in front of dozens of French reporters, just two people.

This is really a heroic complex!

Let's go back in time and take a look.

Since the rumors from the front line spread to Paris, Paris has been in turmoil. In order to learn about the latest developments, almost all newspapers sent reporters to the French headquarters.

Foch also needed to make his own voice, so he took these reporters directly to the 32nd Division.

Haha, choosing a division that has a close relationship with Qin Zhiyuan to do publicity, Foch's team is not as honest as it seems.

In the morning, when the convoy painted with blue-gray paint arrived in front of the 32nd Division's barracks, people were gathering in front of the barracks.

"Hey, we have contacted Mr. Megheer. We want to interview Mr. Bastien today. You just need to make a phone call." A reporter holding a camera was negotiating with the sentry at the door.

"Sorry, during the combat period, we refuse to interview. You can find a phone call to ask Mr. Megheer to come out and pick you up." The sentry's tone was hard, without any room for compromise.

Megheer is Bastien's aide-de-camp, equivalent to Bastien's secretary, just like Pierre and Gao Hongshi to Qin Zhiyuan.

"Don't be so unreasonable. It only takes one phone call. If Mr. Megheil disagrees, we will take the initiative to leave. But if we miss a phone call and delay Mr. Bastien's interview, it will be a big mess. You know, we have reserved the front page headline for tomorrow." The reporter did not give up.

Under normal circumstances, the sentry would make this call at this time. Whether to meet or not is decided by the superior.

But today the situation is different. No matter how eloquent the reporter is, the sentry is just a hard sentence: "No!"

"Can't I go in too?" Foch can't tolerate wasting time. He is 66 years old and every second is precious.

"Salute to you, Mr. Commander-in-Chief." The sentry stood at attention and saluted.

Just yesterday morning, the appointment of Foch had been telegraphed to the entire army, and all newspapers issued supplements because of this matter. Foch was described as "the man who has the ability to pull France back from the edge of the cliff."

"Hello, sergeant, hard work." Even when facing a soldier, Foch would return the salute.

The simple words "Thank you for your hard work" immediately made the soldier's eyes red. The soldier's lips moved, but he couldn't speak. He looked at Foch with fanatical admiration.

There is no doubt that Foch is the person that everyone is looking forward to.

"Please inform General Bastien." Foch said concisely.

"Yes, Mr. Commander-in-Chief." The soldier was excited.

A little later, the soldier ran out, his face flushed with a trace of shame: "Mr. Commander-in-Chief, there will be a car to pick you up soon, General Bastien will come here soon."

"Pick me up? Can't my guards enter the barracks?" Foch had no expression.

"Mr. Commander-in-Chief, please forgive me." The soldier had nothing to say, and he kept apologizing.

Soon, Bastien rushed to the gate of the camp, and Foch threw the same question to Bastien.

"General, please forgive me, for now, the 32nd Division cannot trust anyone. Since five days ago, this camp gate has been closed, and the crossbar has never been raised." Bastien insisted.

After the mutiny broke out, the French army was in a state of distrust, not only distrust of the headquarters and the masters in Paris, but also distrust among the troops. This period is the most dangerous period for the French army. All troops dare not leave the station at will, for fear of causing misunderstandings among friendly troops.

"Okay, then can I go in?" Foch did not insist.

"Of course, General, you have the right to do anything at any time." Bastien respectfully.

"It does not include ordering you, does it?" Foch said sarcastically.

"..." Bastien did not answer, and his face was also red.

"Then, can I accompany you? Just me." Qin Zhiyuan, who had been beside Foch, interrupted.

"Sorry, only the commander-in-chief can enter." Bastien pretended.

"What are you worried about? General Bastien, can the two of us make you feel scared?" Qin Zhiyuan was not polite.

"It's not fear, but just for safety considerations. The soldiers don't trust anyone now, especially your foreign legion. If your troops enter the camp, it may cause unnecessary misunderstandings." Bastien explained.

This explanation makes sense. In fact, the current public opinion is very unfavorable to the foreign legion. Because of the African Legion, some people in the three-level parliament have proposed to disband the foreign legion and expel all foreign legions, including the Chinese legion. Although some newspapers are speaking well of the Chinese legion, such as Clemenceau's "The Prisoner", the general public opinion environment is unfavorable to the Chinese legion.

It is against this background that Qin Zhiyuan's 32nd Division went.

"The Foreign Legion also shed blood and sacrificed for France. On the first day of the battle, my troops suffered nearly 10,000 casualties, the heaviest casualties among all the troops participating in the attack, but also the greatest progress. Doesn't this prove the value of the Foreign Legion?" Qin Zhiyuan was indignant.

Qin Zhiyuan said this to the reporters present, and it was also the biggest purpose of Qin Zhiyuan's trip.
