On the vast sea, strong winds rolled up dark clouds.
Between the dark clouds and the sea, the cruise ship Victory Message was sailing hard like a lost cub.
Come on, come on, Wilson, tell the Chinese in the cabin to tie themselves to the bed and hold on to everything they can move. If they are hit, we don't have the ability to treat them. Tell them we have encountered
The storm may be Category 6, Category 7, or even Category 8. Forget it, go ahead. Even if you say it, they may not understand it. Captain Henry is from Marseille, France, although he is not yet young.
He is 40 years old, but judging from the unkempt beard and wrinkled forehead, it would be more appropriate to say he is 50 years old.
The Victory Message is an old thing. She was launched at the Manchester Shipyard in England 20 years ago. From the day it was launched, Henry served on the Victory Message, from an ordinary sailor to the captain. Henry knew very well
, if the wind and waves are less than level 8, the Victory Message may be able to survive. If the wind and waves reach level 8, then the vicinity of Sardinia, 40° north latitude and 10° east longitude, will be the end of the life of the victory message.
Yes, Captain, as you wish, I will inform you immediately. The first mate Wilson is from Paris. He is a strong young man who is always full of energy and high spirits.
Shortly afterwards, Wilson's warning sounded from the cabin pager of the Victory Message. It was repeated three times and then became silent again.
Brother Qin, what is this foreigner talking about? In Room 106 of the bottom cabin, Qin Zhiyuan's upper bunk, Gao Hongshi, stared at the small speaker on the roof with interest, with a curious look on his face.
A storm is coming. Tie yourself to the bed and tie yourself tightly. If you are injured, no one will save you. Qin Zhiyuan's voice was very low, echoing in the small cabin, making it seem a little ethereal. He himself was just like his voice,
From the moment I got on the boat, I felt a little dazed and lost my mind.
Qin Zhiyuan was confused. How could his consciousness travel through time and space for more than a hundred years and possess a 20-year-old young man named Qin Zhiyuan in 1916 even though the plane he was traveling on suffered an air crash.
Yes, it is 1916, not long after the First World War, and Qin Zhiyuan, a Chinese laborer, is on a cruise ship heading to France.
In his previous life, Qin Zhiyuan had just turned 26 when the accident occurred. When Qin Zhiyuan was still in middle school, his parents sacrificed their lives for the country. Qin Zhiyuan was a third-generation red man. Due to family reasons, Qin Zhiyuan followed his parents' legacy after graduating from high school.
He was destined to be admitted to the Beijing Institute of International Relations.
During his school days, Qin Zhiyuan studied very hard and was particularly talented in languages and shooting. Qin Zhiyuan was able to communicate with people proficiently in English, French and Spanish. He had no problem with reading and writing, so he was considered proficient.
Qin Zhiyuan can basically communicate with people in German, Portuguese and Dutch, but there is a slight difficulty in reading and writing.
In terms of shooting, Qin Zhiyuan is proficient in using various long and short firearms, and his shooting performance while on the move is even more outstanding. He once set a record in school of shooting 45 rounds and 45 hits in two magazines of assault rifle and pistol while moving at close range.
Amazing results.
After graduation, Qin Zhiyuan was assigned to the Operations Section of the Americas Department because of his excellent grades. In the end, during an operation, an accident caused the single-person small plane he was riding to crash.
Coming naked, leaving naked, Qin Zhiyuan's previous life has a certain philosophical meaning of returning to nature.
It doesn't matter, anyway, he has no relatives in the original world, so he has nothing to worry about. Just leave if you leave. Soon someone will take his place. Without him, the earth will turn the same. Qin Zhiyuan sighed and looked around at the small space.
in the cabin, looking at the surrounding environment.
This is a long and narrow cabin about three meters high, one meter five wide and nearly four meters long. There are two triple beds placed in the small cabin, and six big men can squeeze into the six square meters of space.
Qin Zhiyuan sorted out his belongings, including a set of uniforms, including outerwear, trousers, belt, underwear, straw hat, shoes and socks. In addition, there was a tool bag containing a blanket, water cup and iron tableware. Everything was standardized.
While he was tidying up, Qin Zhiyuan suddenly felt someone grabbing him and pushing him onto the bed.
Why? Qin Zhiyuan shook his shoulders, stretched his arms slightly, and opened the man's hands.
You are going to die, the storm is coming, if you don’t tie yourself to the bed, you will turn into a gourd rolling on the ground and die. The speaker’s name is Qin Zhisheng, who is five years older than Qin Zhiyuan.
Qin Zhiyuan and Qin Zhisheng came from the same village. If we talk about it, Qin Zhiyuan should be called Qin Zhisheng's cousin.
It's okay, I'll do it myself. Qin Zhiyuan can fly a plane, so how can he get seasick?
Qin Zhiyuan doesn't want to tie himself to the bed, otherwise he won't be able to run away if something happens. As long as he is in normal condition, Qin Zhiyuan can swim forty or fifty kilometers. After all, when he was in school, Qin Zhiyuan's weapons
Swimming performance is excellent.
Thinking of this, Qin Zhiyuan suddenly remembered something. It seemed that he should confirm the strength of this body, so as to have a preliminary estimate of his own strength.
Yuan, how can you understand the words of foreigners? Can you speak? Qin Zhisheng was very concerned about this little cousin who became dementia as soon as he got on the ship.
This kind of concern is habitual. In this world, Qin Zhiyuan's parents died when he was young. He grew up in Qin Zhisheng's home. He and Qin Zhisheng are almost brothers if not called brothers. Qin Zhisheng is much older than Qin Zhiyuan. According to the
According to rural habits, older children have a natural obligation to take care of younger children, so taking care of Qin Zhiyuan has become Qin Zhisheng's habit.
Isn’t there a church at the end of our village? There was a big-nosed pastor there, and I learned it from him. Language was not easy to explain at first. Fortunately, there were churches everywhere in Hebei and Shandong at this time. To foreigners, it was a
pretty good idea.
Why haven't I heard you say that when we were in Weihai, if you could speak foreign languages, you could definitely be a battalion officer or something, or at least an interpreter. In that case, we wouldn't have to suffer so much.
Qin Zhisheng was still talking nonchalantly, perhaps to relieve his tension in this way.
This group of workers first gathered in Weihai, Shandong Province, the British concession. After replenishing their nutrition for a period of time and undergoing a certain amount of physical training, they boarded the Victory News cruise ship to Europe a month ago.
There was an interpreter at that time, so what are we doing in the limelight? Now that we are on the ship, there is no turning back. If we arrive in Europe and are unfamiliar with the place, we have to rely on ourselves for everything. Whatever ability we have, we should not hide it.
In just a short period of time, Qin Zhisheng had already figured out his situation.
Since the start of the First World War last year, all the major European powers have shown signs of fatigue and have fallen into the dilemma of a sharp reduction in troops and a shortage of labor. For this reason, Britain and France in the Allied Powers have set their sights on the distant and poor China.
They attempted to use the abundant and cheap labor force of this large Far Eastern country to engage in various war logistics work, so that more of their own young men could go to the battlefield and win the final victory of the war.
At this time, the Beiyang government was hesitating.
Just before, the Beiyang government had announced that it would be absolutely neutral in this war. If it joins the war at this time, it will leave an international image of not keeping its promises. But if it does not join the war, it will be tantamount to rejecting the demands of Britain and France, which may
This caused serious consequences that the Beiyang government could not bear.
No matter how entangled the Beiyang government is, Europe is bleeding. Thousands of young Europeans die every day in desperate wailing. The British and French cannot allow this tragedy to continue to happen. So in the remote coastal area of Shandong
, Huimin Company controlled by Yuan Shikai's confidant Liang Shiyi quietly began to recruit workers.
It was under this circumstance that Qin Zhisheng, the silly boy from before, was lured into a labor camp by the daily salary of five francs and signed a five-year labor contract.
In July 1916, the first batch of 530 workers boarded the Victory News from Weihai and sailed to distant Europe, embarking on an unknown journey.
Qin Zhiyuan and the others are already in the third batch.
According to statistics, during the First Time War, about 140,000 workers arrived in Europe. Many of them received preliminary modern technical education in Britain and France, including building railways, operating machine tools, manufacturing tanks, and driving
Crane etc.
During the war, the scope of work of Chinese workers exceeded the contract schedule. They not only had to build trenches under German artillery fire, but also transported supplies and ammunition to the front line, and maintained machine gun positions in the trenches. Even in some local areas, China
Labor took direct part in the fighting.
The number of casualties of Chinese workers cannot be counted. There are about 1,800 documented casualties. There are more than 10,000 Chinese workers who stayed in France and became the first batch of Chinese in France. Most of them returned to China after the war.
From then on, he never made any achievements in his life.
Now, there is an unknown variable among the Chinese workers going to Europe, Qin Zhiyuan. So, will the Chinese workers who fought bloody battles in World War I still disappear in the long river of history as silently as they did in the original history?
