In the early morning, Qin Zhiyuan crawled out of the tent. After washing, he began to arrange his blanket in front of the tent.
On the third day at the front line, Qin Zhiyuan and others have fully demonstrated their value. Now, except for military uniforms, all equipment is no different from French soldiers.
One-liter kettle, m2 gas mask, 1895-style military shovel, military blanket, backpack, raincoat, gloves, tent, etc. As long as the French army has it, Qin Zhiyuan and the others have it.
Just last night, Qin Zhiyuan expressed to Captain Falcao at the Capi Military Station that he wanted to join the Foreign Legion. Falcao was not optimistic about this, but seeing that Qin Zhiyuan and the others were showing increasing value
For his own sake, he still submitted a report. However, according to Falcao, even if the application could be approved, Qin Zhiyuan and the others would have to go to garrison in overseas territories first and could not directly participate in the war in France because there was no such precedent.
Qin Zhiyuan was not disappointed. It would be better to go to overseas territories. In that case, he would avoid the Somme River, which is like a meat grinder.
Dear Qin, I’m so happy to see you. I heard that you worked very late last night. Why didn’t you take more rest? The captain came to see Qin Zhiyuan early in the morning. It seemed like nothing happened.
Qin Zhiyuan was busy until five o'clock in the morning yesterday. He waited for the doctors who changed shifts to go to work before Qin Zhiyuan returned to the tent. He rested for only two hours and got up to the sound of the French army's bugle.
Good morning, Captain Falcao. Although Falcao's character was not very good, Qin Zhiyuan still maintained basic respect.
Good morning, Qin, you are amazing. I just saw yesterday's medical records. Do you know how many people you saved yesterday? Falcao rarely showed a smile. To be honest, it was much uglier than when he didn't smile.
Well, I didn't pay too much attention. You know, so many people need to be rescued, one after another. I don't have time to count the number. Qin Zhiyuan worked for 9 hours continuously yesterday. Considering that he started working after returning from the front line, this
The intensity is astonishing.
French people are romantic in nature. Even French soldiers, when fighting, are just like clocking in to work. They come at the right time and leave after work. They will never take the initiative to work overtime. In comparison, Qin Zhiyuan's work attitude is simply outstanding.
No wonder Falcao changed his attitude. The people Qin Zhiyuan treated were all French. As a soldier, Falcao was grateful to Qin Zhiyuan.
A total of 135 soldiers. In 9 hours, you saved the lives of 135 soldiers and 135 families. Falcao couldn't help but applaud and praise him. Other French soldiers around him also applauded. Falcao straightened his collar.
Then he faced Qin Zhiyuan with one hand on his chest and bowed: Please accept my humble gratitude and thank the Lord for sending you from the Far East to France.
Angel, you are so kind
Thank God, thank the angels
Please accept our humble thanks. The French soldiers around him all bowed to Qin Zhiyuan and thanked him. Although they were suspected of making noise, their thanks were sincere.
Come on, Falcao. Come on, guys, you're making me feel bad. I just did what I was supposed to do, work for the French government, and it was my contractual duty. In the face of everyone's tribute,
Qin Zhiyuan was a little embarrassed. As an agent, he had always lived in the shadows and was not used to being the center of attention.
Although he was a little embarrassed, Qin Zhiyuan was still very happy. It is really a pleasant thing to help others and gain happiness.
Bu Qin, you have done far beyond your duties. I know your contract. According to the contract, the job of you and your guys is to carry artillery shells, dig trenches, carry stretchers, etc. At present, you and your guys What we have done far exceeds this. Your value cannot be reflected in dirty labor work, but should play a greater role. Falcao said, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally passing by the Indian laborers in the distance. .
When Qin Zhiyuan and others arrived in Kapi, there were many Indian borrowed workers in Kapi. At that time, the status of Chinese workers and Indian borrowed workers was the same. Now, only two days later, every four Chinese workers have been assigned a tent. The individual equipment of the soldiers is the same as that of the French regular army. Many of them have taken off their numbered prison-style labor uniforms and replaced them with khaki shirts and overalls. On the surface, they are not much different from the French.
As for the Indian laborers, although they have been coming to Kapi for a long time, and many of them even arrived in France a year ago, they still have eight people crowded into a small tent, wearing numbered prison uniforms. Laborers' uniforms, wearing turbans that have remained unchanged forever, and receiving a daily salary of seven francs. Perhaps their daily salary is only five francs. Chinese workers are exploited by Yimin Company in China, as are Indians and British The East India Company launched a ruthless campaign, much more ruthless than China's Yimin Company.
Dear Falcao, you know that in the eyes of God, everyone in the world is the same. Qin Zhiyuan vaguely reminded Falcao not to engage in racial discrimination.
As long as racial discrimination does not fall on oneself, one will not feel the pain. If possible, Qin Zhiyuan really wants Europeans to see South Africa in future generations. But in the early 20th century, I am afraid no one would have thought of it. White people will also experience the pain of being discriminated against one day.
They do not believe in God, they only believe in Hinduism, so the light of God cannot shine on them. As a loyal Christian believer, Falcao has his own values.
Oh, that's really a pity. Qin Zhiyuan will definitely not discuss religious issues with Falcao now. Since being called an angel, Qin Zhiyuan has become a loyal Christian believer. Qin Zhiyuan doesn't want to let religious issues ruin his life these days. Efforts are in vain.
Regarding religious issues, Qin Zhiyuan does not have a firm position on this issue. Qin Zhiyuan is an atheist, or in other words, if necessary, Qin Zhiyuan can change religions at any time, from Taoism to Christianity, or Hinduism, etc. It does not matter what sect he believes in. It can only bring benefits to the Chinese workers.
Okay, I think I can start working. Qin Zhiyuan handed the packed backpack to Gao Hongshi and prepared to start the day's work.
Mao Shiba and the others had already started working. Qin Zhiyuan rushed all the eighteen people who knew medical skills to the wounded barracks, and selected forty or fifty people to start. These people will be the medical support of the Chinese Brigade or Chinese Division in the future. Team.
Dear Qin, although I really want you to continue to rescue the wounded soldiers, there are more important things that need your help now. Falcao spread his hands and made a helpless gesture.
What's the matter? Qin Zhiyuan put down the medical bag in his hand and motioned to Gao Hongshi to bring the backpack over.
First of all, I want to tell you some sad news. Second Lieutenant David Edward was killed in the battle an hour ago. Major Bastian's troops suffered heavy casualties in the continuous attacks of the German army. They had no reinforcements, and the nearest British troops were
Fifty kilometers away, it can only be reached at night at the earliest, so Major Bastian asks you to go for support. As a regular army, but you have to ask for labor support, Falcao is very embarrassed, because this face is as red as a pound of whiskey.
Same.
When David heard the news of David's death in battle, Qin Zhiyuan felt a little uncomfortable.
Thinking of the enthusiastic young man with freckles on his face, Qin Zhiyuan looked sad. David was the first Frenchman Qin Zhiyuan met after he came ashore. David once said: If Qin Zhiyuan and the others continue to work as laborers, he will apply for retirement. Now
Well, he doesn’t need to apply anymore.
The combat team and auxiliary team were assembled to get some work done. After Qin Zhiyuan ordered Gao Hongshi, he returned to the tent and picked up his 98a rifle.
