Expedition to Europe

Although it was late, the Nanyuan military camp where the "Royal First Brigade" was stationed was still brightly lit.

The personal guards led by Dong Xingxiu who followed Qin Zhiyuan into the capital, and the "Royal First Brigade" were stationed in the military camp outside the city. There was no other way. Taiye Lake could not accommodate so many people. It was good enough to allow Qin Zhiyuan's personal guards to live in.

Fortunately, this is the Republic of China. The security situation is better than that of Yingzhou. It is not a big problem for Qin Zhiyuan to have only personal guards around him. After all, there are still a large number of military and police officers of the Republic of China. There is no need to worry about the safety of Qin Zhiyuan and his party.

Qin Zhiyuan's trip was not smooth. When he was in Yingzhou, that incident reminded everyone, especially Xu Shichang and Qin Yunpeng.

Qin Zhiyuan's security was arranged by Qin Yunpeng himself, and it was the most combat-capable troops under Zhang Yuting. Lan Fang's "Royal First Brigade" did not have many tasks.

This was the first night that the Lan Fang delegation arrived in the Republic of China. Xu Shichang and Qin Yunpeng entertained Qin Zhiyuan at Taiye Lake with high standards, and naturally they would not treat the soldiers of the "Imperial First Brigade" badly.

The soldiers of the "Imperial First Brigade" had not yet entered Nanyuan, and the Beiyang government had already prepared a welcoming banquet for the soldiers.

This welcoming banquet was certainly not as high-standard as the one for Qin Zhiyuan, but it was also pretty good, with enough meat and enough wine.

This standard was normal for Lan Fang, and it was already very good in the Republic of China.

Compared with Lan Fang, the foundation of the Republic of China was indeed poor. Many troops were seriously short of weapons and ammunition, and even clothing and hats were not fully equipped. The food was even simpler, and white flour buns were considered New Year's Day.

It seems that the Beiyang government has shown the greatest sincerity in entertaining the Lan Fang delegation.

Of course, the soldiers of the "Imperial First Brigade" were also restrained enough. They could eat, but they would not drink. Now was during the mission, and no one dared to violate the rules.

The "Royal First Brigade" can actually be regarded as a ceremonial soldier. Ceremonial soldiers pay more attention to appearance and discipline. The "Royal First Brigade" emphasizes discipline very strictly, and no one dares to break the law.

It is only "regarded as". It is definitely not comprehensive to say that the "Royal First Brigade" is a ceremonial soldier. As the "Royal Guard" of King Lan Fang, the "Royal First Brigade" is not only a ceremonial soldier, but also a combat unit. Such members of the troops are basically not all "soldier kings", but they must be good at the army, otherwise they are not qualified to join the "Royal Guard".

When McTavish came to Nanyuan, the major general of the Royal First Brigade, Dong Zishi, was talking happily with Chen Lansheng, the deputy commander of the Beijing Garrison of the Beiyang Government.

Well, it was just a good conversation, the kind of tea instead of wine. Dong Zishi himself did not drink at all, so it didn't matter if he was half drunk.

Dong Zishi is also a veteran of the Foreign Legion period. When Lan Fang was first established, Dong Zishi led his troops to capture South Sulawesi and Central Sulawesi, making great contributions to Lan Fang's independence. In the subsequent battles, Dong Zishi led his troops to capture the Aru Islands, which can be regarded as a great contribution.

During the Lantern Festival, Dong Zishi was awarded the title of "Wudingbo", and now he is also a person with a title.

Before serving as the commander of the "Royal First Brigade", Dong Zishi served as the deputy commander of the Lan Fang Fifth Division and was a senior officer in the Lan Fang military system. After the establishment of the "Royal First Brigade", Dong Zishi was appointed as the brigade commander.

McTavish's current military rank is actually not low. He is already a colonel and can be classified as a senior officer. Because of McTavish's special status, McTavish's position in the Lan Fang army is actually similar to that of a general like Dong Zishi. Therefore, McTavish was not very respectful. As soon as he returned to Nanyuan, he asked someone to invite Dong Zishi over.

"We are leaving now? What happened?" Dong Zishi was still unclear about what happened.

"Huang Fugui has been detained, and it seems he is in Wuchang." McTavish said simply.

"Who the hell is so bold as to touch Huang Fugui?" Dong Zishi was shocked and angry.

They were all old friends who knew each other during the Foreign Legion period. Although Dong Zishi and Huang Fugui had not dealt with each other much, they also had a sense of comradeship. So when Dong Zishi heard the news that Huang Fugui was detained, he immediately felt a sense of common hatred against the enemy.

I don't say I have no clothes, but I share the same robe with you. The feelings between soldiers cannot be measured by ordinary feelings. Although Huang Fugui is a civilian, he and Dong Zishi have also rolled in the same trench. Dong Zishi will definitely not ignore it.

"It seems to be British. The specific situation is not clear now. We will know it when we arrive in Wuchang. It seems that the Northeast Army has someone there. We are investigating now." McTavish didn't know much information.

"The foreign devils are all bad. It's a pity that we helped them fight for our lives. If we had known this would happen, we should have just watched the Germans drive all the British into the English Channel." Dong Zishi immediately started to curse.

Dong Zishi was also very outspoken. He enjoyed cursing "these guys" and helped the British find so many cheap fathers at once.

"Now is not the time to curse. His Majesty asked me to get the people back first." McTavish did not forget his mission.

"Damn, you always get this kind of thing, and I can only hide it and be a wooden stake." Dong Zishi was envious and jealous.

Dong Zishi was telling the truth. McTavish always got this kind of messy mission, which made Dong Zishi extremely envious.

Of course, it was just envy. If Dong Zishi really went to save Huang Fugui, Dong Zishi would definitely not be as efficient as McTavish.

Dong Zishi also admitted this.

Although there are no archive records of some of McTavish's deeds, they are basically known to senior generals in the Lan Fang Army, especially the assassination of Ludendorff, which is definitely the most glorious moment in McTavish's life.

Although McTavish has only lived a small part of his life, this point can be basically confirmed.

"Don't take advantage of me, I can't even sleep in the camp." McTavish said that this kind of task is just a drizzle.

"Report, the commando has been assembled." McTavish's deputy Guo Jichang came to report.

Although McTavish's military rank is colonel, he has no adjutant because he does not hold a specific position. Instead, he just finds an assistant to complete the task every time he takes action. Therefore, for McTavish, Guo Jichang is just an assistant.

"Okay, I'm leaving." McTavish got up and walked out without delay.

"Wait, wait, how are you going?" Dong Zishi reached out and grabbed McTavish.

"How else can we go? Let's drive!" McTavish's face was not very good.

Beijing is more than a thousand kilometers away from Wuchang. Thinking about such a long distance, McTavish felt a little sore in the waist and legs even before getting on the car.

These days are not like the 21st century, when the car fleet has good shock absorption performance and runs at high speed. The shock absorption of cars these days basically depends on the buttocks, and the cars run on dirt roads that have not been hardened at all. You can imagine how hard it is to run more than a thousand kilometers in one breath.

"Wait a minute, don't leave yet." Dong Zishi disappeared immediately.

Although McTavish didn't know what was going on, he was not in a hurry to leave. No matter what Dong Zishi was going to do, it wouldn't hurt him anyway.

At this time, outside the barracks, 36 commando soldiers were ready to go with live ammunition. The soldiers' uniforms were the latest four-color camouflage, and the steel helmets on their heads were covered with mesh cloth, which could effectively reduce glare. The backpacks on their bodies were not big, but they were fully equipped with all the necessary supplies, which could at least support these soldiers in a medium-intensity battle and maintain three days of supplies.

The soldiers' weapons were also updated. The Mauser pistol with ten bullets was standard, and the rifles had been replaced with the latest B-2 rifles, which were the former M1 Garand rifles. Several soldiers carried crossbows on their backs, which were prepared for sneak attacks, and more soldiers carried Lewis machine guns in their hands, which were prepared for strong attacks.

McTavish's equipment was relatively simple. In addition to a pistol and a rifle, he didn't even bring a grenade.

This is understandable. With McTavish's ability, even if he can't reach the level of "flying flowers hurting people", it's no problem to find something to kill a few people. Even if he fights with his bare hands, McTavish is a rare good player.

After a while, Dong Zishi and Chen Lansheng came together.

"Mr. McJudge, thank you for your hard work." Chen Lansheng was attentive and thoughtful.

McTavish also has a title, but it's just a "viscount".

With McTavish's merits, even if he can't be named a "marquis", he is still qualified to be an "earl".

It's a pity that most of McTavish's merits are not visible, which makes McTavish's title stay at the level of "viscount".

"Commander Chen, nice to meet you." McTavish was also polite.

McTavish can also be polite, but he is usually too lazy to be polite, which makes McTavish look a little cold. When necessary, McTavish can still show maturity.

"Sir, are you going to Wuchang?" Chen Lansheng didn't say much nonsense and went straight to the point.

"Yes, there is something urgent that I need to deal with as soon as possible." McTavish didn't want to say it too clearly, after all, it was not a glorious thing.

"Okay, the Lan Fang brothers' affairs are our business. Sir, wait a moment, Chen will write a letter... OK, don't write it by hand, Chen will take you to the station to avoid delays." Chen Lansheng sent Buddha to the west.

Compared with Dong Zishi and McTavish, Chen Lansheng is the local tyrant in the Republic of China.

Local tyrants always have some tricks, otherwise they will be insulted by the title of "local tyrant".

If there was no Chen Lansheng, McTavish and his party would have to drive to Wuchang, but with Chen Lansheng, McTavish and his party would definitely be much more relaxed.

Compared with Lan Fang, the Republic of China still has more advanced places, such as trains.

At this time, the Republic of China already had trains, and there were many railway lines. The train line from Beijing to Wuchang was already connected, and McTavish and his friends could take the train, which was much easier than driving themselves.

It was also much more comfortable.
