Expedition to Europe

In fact, Qin Zhiyuan has been patrolling non-stop since he was a child.

For ordinary families, the Spring Festival may mean reunion and happiness, but for King Qin Zhiyuan, the Spring Festival means more responsibilities and requires more careful work.

Such busy work will definitely neglect Julie and Qin De. Several times, when Qin Zhiyuan returned to the palace late at night, he saw Julie curled up on the sofa, already asleep.

For this, Qin Zhiyuan could only bury his guilt in his heart. Since he has taken this position, he must bear this responsibility, and Qin Zhiyuan has no choice but to shoulder the responsibility.

Fortunately, Qin Zhiyuan still has a chance to redeem himself. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Qin Zhiyuan will visit the Republic of China, and then go to Belgium to participate in the Olympic Games and make some visits to Europe. By then, Qin Zhiyuan will have many opportunities to make up for Julie.

February 19th, New Year's Eve.

This dinner can be said to be the most important meal in traditional Chinese customs. Qin Zhiyuan did not engage in any red tape. He just gathered Qin Zhiyuan's relatives and Julie's family to have a meal together as a way to bond.

In fact, Julie's family does not have the habit of celebrating the Spring Festival, but they do as the locals do, and Julie's family has adapted very well.

That night, the palace on Penglai Island finally ushered in its most lively moment.

Qin Zhiyuan, Qin Zhisheng, Foch and others were talking in the living room. Also present were Portlem, who had already made an engagement with Natalie, and Hyman Herbert, who was already serving in the staff, and After the Spring Festival. Bill Frederick, who is preparing to serve in the Navy, and several outstanding young people from the next generation of the Qin family.

Of course Girardine was also there, but she was dragged to the women's side by Julie, which left a purely men's party time here.

Given their status as Qin Zhiyuan and Foch, the content of their chats under normal circumstances would definitely be shocking, but today was different from the past. All the men had a tacit understanding. They kept silent about state affairs and only chatted about domestic affairs. The atmosphere was quite relaxed and pleasant. .

Such an occasion obviously makes Foch more comfortable. Perhaps because of his age, Foch likes young people very much, especially young people who are just starting out like Hyman and Bill. Foch pays them the greatest attention.

"Hey, come here, boy, let me see you. What's your name?" Foch's tone was full of intimacy, which made people admire him.

"Your Excellency, Marshal, my name is Hyman, Hyman Herbert." Facing Foch, Hyman was inevitably nervous.

In fact, Foch and Heyman met at the Chateau Black Swan in Paris.

But that was three years ago. At that time, Heyman was thin and small, with bruises all over his body and a miserable expression. There was a huge difference from the tall, strong and confident person he is now. Not to mention Foch, who is nearly seventy years old, even his memory The exuberant young man is probably not sure that the current Heyman is the same person as the poor boy three years ago.

"Oh, you work in the staff department now? Artillery?" Foch's eyes were pretty good, and Heyman's military branch could be seen from Heyman's seniority stamp.

"Yes, Your Majesty Marshal, I am currently working in the Artillery Headquarters under General Zheng." Heyman answered calmly. After thinking about it, he added: "Actually, I would rather join the armored force."

"Oh hahaha, you all want to join the armored force, but artillery is the eternal king of war. If you understand artillery, you will understand the essence of war, so do your best, kids, we are all getting old, and this world will be yours after all. ." Foch was generous with his praise and had high expectations for Hyman.

"But they all say that artillery has declined, and armor represents the future of war." Heyman was a little confused.

It can also be understood that at the age of fifteen or sixteen, the world view, outlook on life, and values ​​are not mature enough. The thoughts of this age group can easily be influenced by other people. Of course, as long as we can finally get back on the right track, now Confusion is normal.

"No, artillery will still be the master of war, but it will be in another form. So what you need now is to persevere, not to have to look forward to Shu, so work hard. In ten years at most, you will see powerful artillery, far away It's beyond your imagination." Qin Zhiyuan also gave Haiman reassurance.

Just before the Spring Festival, Qin Zhiyuan had ordered the start of research on rocket launchers. Compared to towed artillery or self-propelled artillery, rocket launchers were a crazier and more powerful weapon.

More importantly, studying rocket launchers can reserve technology for the next step of rocket research. When the time is right, Lan Fang will start researching rockets and then missiles. When missiles appear, artillery will once again become the master of war.

Of course, there is no need to say these things now. Before the missile appears, this will be Lanfang's top secret.

"Okay father, I listen to you." Haiman always obeyed Qin Zhiyuan unconditionally and never had any doubts.

"What about you? Little guy, let me know what your name is? Bill, your name seems to be Bill, isn't it?" Foch turned to Bill Frederick.

"Yes, Your Excellency Marshal, my name is Bill, Bill Frederick. After the New Year, I will enter the navy to serve. Maybe I will catch up with the 'Le Lang'." Bill Frederick is a bit Little excitement.

"Lelang" is the second Nagato-class "Mutsu" towed back from Japan. "Lelang" is currently being refitted in Cam Ranh Bay. It is estimated that the outfitting will be completed by May or June. If Bill Fo Redrick might be able to catch up if he joins the navy later this year.

"Hehe, if you want to go on the 'Lelang', then you must lose weight. Your body is a bit oversized." Foch teased maliciously.

"Uh, yes, Marshal, I will." Bill Frederick's ears were red.

In fact, Bill Frederick was just a little fat, which was not a problem. He only needed to persist for a period of time and he would become a strong young man. Even if Bill Frederick did not lose weight, it would probably be no problem for him to live on the "Lelang". The sailor cabin of the "Lelang" had been modified according to the physique of the Lanfang people and was much more spacious than the original one.

"So what about you, who will introduce themselves?" Foch finally turned his attention to the three young men from the Qin family.

The three looked at each other without much concession. The tallest, calmest, and most stable young man with a scar on the corner of his eye stepped forward and saluted: "Marshal, Qin Hefeng, the major deputy commander of the 1st Regiment of the 1st Armored Division of Lan Fang, salutes you."

A very good young man, the key is that Qin Hefeng can speak French, which saves the translation.

"Qin Hefeng, this name is good, are you from the Qin family?" Foch has a better understanding of the relationship between Chinese relatives after marrying a relative with the Chinese.

"Yes, Marshal, if we follow the seniority, His Majesty the King is my uncle." Qin Hefeng's voice was loud.

"Wow, I didn't know that there was a prince here." Foch joked casually.

"No, no, no, Marshal, I am just a soldier and have never regarded myself as a prince." Qin Hefeng was embarrassed.

The king's nephew can also be regarded as a prince. If we follow traditional customs, the prince even has the right to inherit the throne.

The original text is available at Six # 9 @Books/Bar!

Of course, Qin Hefeng probably didn't dare to think so. If Qin Hefeng expressed this intention, Qin Zhisheng would be able to help his nephew eliminate the hidden dangers without Qin De's help.

The relationship between Chinese relatives is actually very magical. For example, if they are from the same village, as long as they are not out of the fifth mourning period, they can be considered relatives.

The relationship between Qin Hefeng and Qin Zhiyuan is like this. Strictly speaking, Qin Zhiyuan and Qin Hefeng's father have the same great grandfather. Of course, there is a blood relationship between them, but it is already quite weak.

Qin Hefeng has never revealed this relationship in the army. There is no family affection in the royal family. It's better to do his own thing honestly. At least no one dares to claim credit for his achievements.

"From your French, have you joined the Foreign Legion?" Foch was still quite curious.

"Yes, Marshal, I went to Europe two years ago and joined the Foreign Legion, but I have been serving in Corsica and have not had the opportunity to fight in Europe. However, I participated in the war against Yingzhou and won three military medals in the war." Qin Hefeng has also been on the battlefield, so he is particularly confident in saying this.

"Let me see, oh, one service medal, one bravery medal, and one Yingzhou battle medal, not bad." Foch nodded repeatedly.

The service medal is equivalent to a first-class merit; the bravery medal is to commemorate the heroic behavior of being wounded in the war; as for the Yingzhou battle medal, everyone who participated in the Yingzhou battle will have one.

"So, what about you two?" Foch waited for the last two guys to introduce themselves.

"Marshal, Qin Feihong of the first squadron of the Taishan Fighter Brigade of the Mobile Fleet salutes you."

"Marshal, Qin Chengli of the Wanghaizhou Special Commando salutes you." Qin Feihong and Qin Chengli said in unison.

These two are almost there. They are not very proficient in French, but they can still express themselves with some stammering, which is not easy.

In fact, many people in Lan Fang know French, and many people are even familiar with German and English. The Lan Fang military advocates learning foreign languages. As long as there is an opportunity, those who have the conditions will always learn something to increase their knowledge reserves.

In this regard, the most favorable conditions are soldiers.

At present, the Lan Fang army is not only Chinese, but also has people from various countries, from French to German, to Russians, Annamites, Koreans, etc. As long as you want to learn a foreign language, there is always no shortage of teachers.

"Very good, all very good. Seeing them, I feel a lot younger. They are all good guys." Foch's love for young people is beyond words.

"Yes, they are all good. Maybe in less than 20 years, we can retire from the army." Qin Zhiyuan is looking forward to the day of retirement.

"Wow, hahaha, your majesty, you are only 22 years old, are you kidding?" Qin Zhisheng laughed wildly.

Qin Zhiyuan was shocked to realize that, yes, he was not much older than Qin Hefeng and the others.

This feeling was ridiculous!
