At the end of May, a French army stationed near Fort Milon arrived at Ferenta-de-Noy, and the 1st Division and the 32nd Division immediately took over defense with the newly arrived French division.
Due to the tragic defeat of Crown Prince Wilhelm, the Germans temporarily lost their offensive capabilities in this area, and the 1st Division and the 32nd Division could safely return to the vicinity of Paris to rest.
They were not stationed together. The 1st Division was still in the Bois de Boulogne, while the 32nd Division was in Torigny-sur-Marne, east of Paris, and happened to be guarding Paris to the east and west.
Knowing that the 1st Division and the 32nd Division were finally returning to Paris, the Paris city government prepared a grand welcome ceremony. Paris citizens spontaneously poured into the streets to welcome these two heroic troops.
Yes, they are the heroic troops. This is an honorary title awarded to these two troops by the French government and the public because they won the most significant victory for France since it entered the world war.
Qin Zhiyuan did not attend such an occasion, so Pierre was ordered to attend the welcome ceremony on behalf of the First Division. Accompanying Pierre to accept the cheers of the Paris citizens were the armored troops of the First Division.
This looks more harmonious. At least the representatives of both armies are French, which will make it easier for Parisian citizens to accept it.
The tank force must participate in any case. Since the Battle of Tadenuva, all generals have fully realized the role of the tank force. This new weapon that some people were unwilling to accept a month ago has become a hot commodity.
.It is said that Lyotei's office is now crowded with people every day, and they are all the commanders of various troops who want to obtain tanks.
There must be tanks, and these military commanders will definitely get what they want, but their supply priority must be lower. The most important thing at the moment is to restore the combat effectiveness of the tank troops of the First Division.
In Qin Zhiyuan's post-war report, more than half of the tank units of the First Division were lost in the battle. If they cannot be replenished in time, most of their combat effectiveness will be lost.
This was absolutely not possible. Lyautey was still counting on this unit to perform meritorious service again, so with a stroke of his pen, he gave priority to replenishing 150 tanks for the First Division's tank unit.
40 self-propelled artillery pieces that performed brilliantly in the battle to defend Wa.
This batch of tanks and self-propelled artillery have been equipped with new engines, which are faster and have longer endurance. The caliber of the self-propelled artillery has also been changed to 155 mm. Compared with the 194 mm, the power of the 155 mm caliber artillery has not been reduced much.
, but the hit rate is more accurate.
As for the range, the 10-kilometer range of the 194mm artillery is not necessarily of much use. After all, this is a self-propelled artillery. It is flexible and can be fired and taken away. The most important thing is to reduce the weight and increase the maneuverability.
These weapons have now been transported to the 1st Division camp in the Bois de Boulogne and have been handed over to the 1st Division garrison.
Also returning to the Bois de Boulogne with Qin Zhiyuan was Crown Prince William.
As the crown prince, William can refuse to participate in any activities he does not want to participate in, which the French cannot force. But Fritz Rosenberg and Count von Schulenberg are not so lucky. They must go to the Paris City Hall to act as a backdrop, again
It became a prop for the French to show off their military exploits.
Qin, I heard that your orphanage is here, can I go and take a look? In the Mercedes-Benz car, Crown Prince William made a request to Qin Zhiyuan.
This car was originally the car of Crown Prince William. It was captured by the First Division in Tadenoy and then became one of Qin Zhiyuan's collections. Qin Zhiyuan planned to store this car in the Black Swan Castle as his current huge collection.
a part of.
Qin Zhiyuan has collected many cultural relics lost in the Qing Dynasty, most of which were sent back to the Republic of China by Hu Weide. Now only a small part of the museum here is decorating the facade.
The museum displays more Western cultural relics. Qin Zhiyuan's attitude towards cultural relics has always been that cultural relics are only cultural relics in the place of origin, and the local culture that is divorced can only be regarded as handicrafts and has no value. Therefore, Crown Prince William's car,
It will also be displayed as an exhibit in the museum in the Bois de Boulogne.
Of course, Qin Zhiyuan also gave Crown Prince William a Renault car in return, and Prince William could do with it whatever he wanted, so that Qin Zhiyuan could take out the car and make money from the visitors openly.
Qin Zhiyuan's museum is a private museum. This kind of museum is not free. Of course, the ticket price is not expensive, only one franc per person, and it is free for children.
Of course, if you want. There are two orphanages here. There are currently six in the whole of Paris and seventeen in the whole of France. These orphanages mainly adopt children under the age of ten when they complete their treatment here.
After completing the epidemic prevention project, he will be sent to Corsica, where he will receive systematic education. Qin Zhiyuan walked out with a tray.
Corsica heard it was a hell. Crown Prince William heard it from hearsay.
As a general of the Allied Powers, Qin Zhiyuan's reputation in Germany is now mixed. On the one hand, he adopted a large number of orphans, took on things forgotten by the government, and showed his philanthropy and kindness; on the other hand, when facing the rebellious Corsicans,
, Qin Zhiyuan can also raise the butcher knife without hesitation and kill people with heads rolling, fully demonstrating his ferocity and bloodthirsty.
Perhaps only such contradictions can make a living person. In Germany, there are many people who have the same idea as Crown Prince William and want to talk to Qin Zhiyuan.
It's not hell. I suggest you go and take a look at the appropriate time. It would be better for those children to live there. At least there is no discrimination and no harm. Qin Zhiyuan doesn't mind that Crown Prince William appears in front of those German orphans.
Although Crown Prince Wilhelm was the candidate for the next emperor of Germany, he did not appear when these children needed him most. It was Qin Zhiyuan who saved these children when they needed help most. I believe that every child who knows how to be grateful,
No one will betray Qin Zhiyuan.
Just like the title between Qin Zhiyuan and his children, Qin Zhiyuan is as close to them as father and son.
Even though I am the crown prince, I am also a prisoner of war. I am afraid that Raymond will not let me go. Crown Prince William is a little disappointed.
Due to his status, the French can give Crown Prince William the greatest degree of freedom, but this does not mean that Crown Prince William can do whatever he wants. The scope of Crown Prince William's activities must be within the control of the French, even with Qin Zhiyuan.
Although Qin Zhiyuan is a serious general of the French Foreign Legion, and the Foreign Legion is also loyal to the French government, the control scope of the First Division is not necessarily the control scope of the French government. Although Crown Prince William has a high degree of freedom,
But it may not be possible to leave mainland France.
So what does it matter? Corsica is now French territory, and it does not violate the regulations for you to go there. Qin Zhiyuan does whatever he wants.
Really? I'm afraid not necessarily. Crown Prince William smiled with ulterior motives.
