At this time, in Sosone-Vais, 90 kilometers away from Paris, the 2nd Brigade of the Foreign Legion, Qin Yunpeng's troops, were resting in the drizzle.
The second brigade adopted the organization of six towns in Beiyang, with two infantry corps and one artillery corps under its jurisdiction. Each infantry corps has two battalions, each battalion has three battalions, each battalion has four teams, each team has three rows, and each row has three sheds; each shed There were fourteen soldiers. Due to Nivel's special care, the artillery of the second brigade also had many artillery pieces, but they were all small-caliber Miss 75s, and there were no large-caliber artillery pieces.
Nivele wanted to send the Second Brigade to the battlefield, so he always needed something.
If we had known that we would be soldiers when we got here, we would have asked to stay there when we were at Trident. At least we wouldn't have to stay here in this damn weather to stand guard for the foreign devils. There were four or five soldiers crowded at the checkpoint on the roadside. The people inside were shivering. Looking at the drizzle outside the guard box, a soldier complained softly.
Although it is already April and the weather has warmed up, it is still the season of warm and cold weather. France is a place surrounded by the sea on both sides and has a standard Mediterranean climate. It is usually very comfortable, but don't rain. As long as it rains, you will get away from you. The water can be squeezed out from every handful of air, making it uncomfortable to be wet.
Just want good things, you wanted to stay in Trident, so you stayed. When we were selecting people, I asked you to run five thousand meters. Why didn't you run? If you could have persisted, wouldn't you have been able to stay like Shunzi and others? Now you regret it. Ah, when it was over, the monitor dismissed it.
At that time, I didn't understand what those people were doing and why I listened to them. Even if I didn't become a soldier, I knew how to do carpentry. It would be good to work in a factory as a worker. The soldier was not convinced.
No one is begging you to believe it. They have made it clear and they will let you stay if they know how to do it. If you keep it secret, they don’t have to beg you. But I heard that Shunzi is in Paris now. I heard that he became a tank soldier. We lived a wonderful life, eating well and drinking spicy food every day. I heard that Shunzi had sent home more than 30 yuan in the past two months. The squad leader could not hide his envy in his words.
The squad leader also participated in the selection at the beginning. His conditions could have made him join the First Brigade, but after listening to the translator's persuasion, he insisted on going to France to join Governor Qin.
More than thirty yuan
Can't put
Didn’t you say it should be issued every six months?
When the squad leader mentioned Dayang, the eyes of five or six people all shone brightly.
The First Brigade never defaults on payment, and pays out every month on the right day. If I am not short of money, they will send it home directly. Moreover, the salary is very high, and I can earn a fortune every day. Damn it. I heard that some of those who joined the factory can already get a salary of three yuan, which is so damn enjoyable. The monitor enjoys the satisfaction of having the power of information.
Three yuan. Tsk, that’s not the same as foreigners’ wages.
Some people sighed.
Alas, if I had known that I would risk my life to stay in Trident.
Someone beat their chests and stamped their feet.
If we go back now, will we still have it?
Some people are crazy.
Squad Leader Dare touched the revolver on his waist and reprimanded angrily. With a cold face, he glanced at the faces of everyone in the guard box with sinister eyes: "If you want to run away now, you are a deserter, just like those people in the Second Association a few days ago. They are all Everyone is going to take a shot.
Just a few days ago, there was a mass escape incident in the Second Brigade. Soldiers from a shed fled collectively and wanted to go to Trident to defect to the First Brigade. These deserters did not think about it, in this France where white people are everywhere, more than a dozen of them This yellow man was as conspicuous as a few alpacas crowded into a group of huskies. He was caught up by Qin Yunpeng's men before he had gone far.
Qin Yunpeng was not polite and directly shot them all in accordance with military regulations in front of nearly ten thousand people in the Second Brigade.
It is true that kindness does not control soldiers.
When they heard that they were being shot, several soldiers shrank and did not dare to speak.
Just then, the sound of a car horn came from in front of the checkpoint. When the shed head looked out, he saw a truck with military plates on it.
The Second Brigade does not have trucks, so all the vehicles passing through the checkpoint are foreigners. According to regulations, all vehicles passing here must be inspected, but few of those foreigners are willing to accept the inspection honestly, so
As if delaying for such a while would delay their reincarnation, this order was never carried out seriously.
When facing foreigners, Qin Yunpeng is not as strong as Qin Zhiyuan, and his soldiers can't stand straight. Therefore, facing the arrogant foreigners, the soldiers of the Second Brigade on guard no longer persist.
.The same is true now. When he saw a car approaching, the squad leader called two soldiers to move the crossbar on the road.
Although it was still raining, the two soldiers did not dare to disobey the order and ran over to remove the horizontal bar despite the rain.
The truck almost didn't stop, and the driver barely even smiled. He stepped on the accelerator, and the truck rushed past like it was flying.
It had been raining for the past few days, and there was still some water on the ground. When the truck rushed over, it happened to run over a puddle.
Wow
The soldiers who were still moving the crossbar were unable to dodge and were showered from head to toe.
Your mother's soaked soldier picked up the gun and was about to pull the bolt.
You don't want to die! The squad leader has quick eyes and quick hands and rushes out from the sentry post.
Damn, this is so bullying. Do you think we are being treated as human beings? The soldiers were unwilling to give in. I didn’t know whether it was mud, rain, or tears on their faces.
The squad leader said nothing. He looked at the military vehicles in the distance with complicated eyes, and looked at the soldiers around him with even more complicated eyes.
The first stop these soldiers arrived in Europe was the city of Trident in Corsica. There they saw the attitude of the soldiers of the First Brigade towards foreigners, which was no different from the treatment of Chinese. They were neither groveling nor indifferent, just plain and ordinary.
usual attitude.
Although Qin Zhiyuan adopted a relocation policy in Corsica, there are still foreigners in Trident City. Those foreigners are merchant sailors and naval soldiers who originally belonged to the First Brigade. These people also have a normal attitude towards the Chinese.
, neither condescending nor shouting around, no different from how they treat their own people.
The Chinese therefore believe that this is how European foreigners should treat the Chinese.
But unexpectedly, when they arrived in mainland France and these Chinese escaped from the protection of the First Brigade, the situation took a 360-degree turn.
The foreigners have completely different attitudes towards the First Brigade and the Second Brigade. Although they are both Chinese, the foreigners treat the people in the First Brigade as if they were their own people, and treat the people in the Second Brigade as if they were from India and Indochina.
Southeast Asians are no different.
You don’t appreciate it when you have it, but you only feel its value after you lose it.
