This chapter is an extra update. There is another chapter at 8 o'clock. This chapter is dedicated to the brothers who voted for the monthly votes in the past two days. Especially the Rampant Godfather who gave the only monthly vote to Yutou was really touched.
From the moment he arrived in Marseille, Qin Zhiyuan deeply felt the atmosphere of the war.
Recently, Qin Zhiyuan has been flying to and from Corsica and Paris, and has not been to Marseille for more than half a month.
When they landed from Marseille again, Marseille was a completely unfamiliar place to the First Brigade, just like when they first arrived in Europe in July last year.
Although it is the largest port in France, the level of congestion in the Port of Marseille is shocking. From the port to the Île-If, there are ships of all kinds preparing to enter the port.
The first brigade has been waiting for three hours, but 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 traveling on the first brigade was finally arranged to enter the port first.
So when Qin Zhiyuan landed at Marseille Port, seven hours had passed.
This is the result of the first brigade not carrying heavy weapons.
The 1st Brigade only carried light weapons this time, and all heavy weapons were left in Corsica, including all tanks and even the cannons of the artillery unit.
In Paris, old Renault prepared brand-new weapons and waited for the First Brigade to go to Paris to receive them.
Because of the emergence of containers, a new batch of gantry cranes have been added to the dock. Flat-head trucks produced by Renault Automobile Group are waiting at the dock. These trucks will transport these containers to the train station and then use the railway to transport them to their final destination.
Thanks to the emergence of containers, the first brigade was able to rush to Paris as quickly as possible. Otherwise, given how busy the Marseille train station was, there was no telling how long it would have taken.
When I arrived in Paris, I encountered something new. The Paris train station was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, as if to welcome some big shot.
After asking the station staff, I found out that in a few hours the first batch of the US Army's First Division to go to Europe to fight would arrive in Paris, and this welcome ceremony was prepared for the Americans.
This made Qin Zhiyuan feel disgusted. The First Brigade had participated in the war for more than half a year, and no one paid attention to it when it returned to Paris. The Americans had just arrived and had not made any achievements, but they had to enjoy a grand welcome ceremony, which was really speechless.
This fully illustrates the importance of having a strong motherland.
When Qin Zhiyuan told Chen Kangjian this sentence, Chen Kangjian nodded in agreement.
Although the soldiers in the First Brigade have relatively superb combat skills, in some respects, they do not necessarily have strong combat effectiveness. The biggest problem with this unit now is: it has 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 bit by 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 pretty good. Under Qin Zhiyuan's almost brainwashing emphasis, Chen Kangjian and others have now
They accepted this concept and gradually influenced the people around them.
The Paris train station is neither far nor close to the Bois de Boulogne. Old Renault sent more than 200 trucks to help the first brigade transfer. These trucks will then be delivered to the first brigade for use. It can be said that from the time they arrived in Paris
From the first moment, the first brigade began to change their clothes.
The square in front of the station is also decorated with lights and decorations. The ammunition boxes and tents of wounded soldiers that were previously piled up here waiting for transfer have been moved. The entire square has returned to the cleanliness and tidiness before the war. Someone is cleaning the sculptures all over the square.
Garbage and dirt are the lifeblood of Parisians. You can skip meals and sleep, but you can't live without art. This is a creed recognized by many Parisians.
Even if it is not to welcome himself, a clean and neat 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 Black Swan Castle.
Unlike ordinary soldiers, Qin Zhiyuan rode in a car, so he was faster and returned to the Boulogne Forest first. When Qin Zhiyuan arrived at the Black Swan Castle, Qin Zhiyuan noticed that there were many people confronting each other in front of the castle. On one side was
Soldiers from the 1st Brigade guarding the Black Swan Castle, and on the other side are French gendarmes wearing gendarme uniforms.
I have already told you, sir, that this place belongs to the 1st 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 shot without mercy. An officer of the 1st Brigade wearing the rank of lieutenant looked arrogant.
Parisians have a very contradictory and harmonious characteristic. From the heart, Parisians look down on all outsiders; but from a cultural perspective, Parisians will maintain a polite attitude when dealing with others. When these emotions are concentrated
Expressing yourself, Parisians will seem to be gentle and polite to others, but at the same time, they will be distant from others.
The soldiers of the First Brigade have stayed in Paris for a long time, and they will inevitably catch some Parisian problems. The officer in front of them is one of the victims. Although the lieutenant used honorifics, his demeanor and tone did not make it clear that
Show no respect at all, even if there is a lieutenant colonel standing in front of him.
He was indeed a lieutenant colonel. Qin Zhiyuan also knew him, that Elton.
It seemed that the negotiations had been going on for some time. Elton was well prepared. When he heard what the lieutenant said, Elton immediately took out a prepared document: Please read it clearly. This is an official letter from the headquarters of the Algerian Foreign Legion.
It asks you to cooperate with the requirements of the Paris City Defense Headquarters.
Facing a lieutenant whose military rank was much lower than his own, Elton didn't even bother to show off his fake aristocratic demeanor. He just held the opened official letter in one hand and showed it in front of the lieutenant.
Sorry, I don't understand. The lieutenant didn't even look at the official letter that Elton had high hopes for. His understatement could choke people to death: Please ask the legion headquarters to send someone over to give the order, or give the order directly to us.
General, it is impossible for us to hand over the defense of the Bois de Boulogne to you based on such an official document.
Are you trying to disobey me? Elton's long-simmering anger suddenly burst out.
There was no order given to me at all. How can I talk about disobedience? The lieutenant is calm and calm, and he has done a good job of nourishing his energy.
Your First Brigade is rotten from top to bottom. Military orders are nothing but child's play to you. You can resist if you want. Do you still have even a little bit of honor and mission as a soldier? Elton yelled, if
Instead of worrying about the black holes in the hands of the soldiers from the First Brigade around him, he really wanted to order his men to break through by force.
It's not up to you whether you die or not. The honor of a soldier is not reflected in Paris, but on the battlefield. I fought on the front line all winter last year. What qualifications do you, a young man who has been hiding in Paris, have to accuse the lieutenant?
Damn it, his French is now to the point where he can quarrel with others.
Well said. Qin Zhiyuan got out of the car, strode up to Elton, and looked down at Elton.
Standing in front of Elton, who is 1.7 meters tall, Qin Zhiyuan, who is 1.8 meters tall, really has a psychological advantage.
