In fact, before boarding the ship, the staff of the Foreign Legion had already listed all the difficulties they would encounter on this trip, including of course the cold reception in front of them.
Although they knew this was possible, Huang Li and Wu Qing still found it unacceptable when they encountered such indifference.
When they were in Europe, they thought about their hometown all the time, the bright moon in their hometown, the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, and the big yellow dog at home.
How many times have my breasts been wet with tears when I dreamed about it at midnight? How many times have I been in a daze at night looking at the warm lights coming from the windows of Paris residents’ homes? How many times have I cried in the direction of the east after drinking and singing.
There is no need to remember it at all, because I have never forgotten it.
When you are at sea, any memory about your hometown can arouse the echo of countless people. Even if you just listen to it, you can feel the happiness from the heart.
In order to return to the Republic of China as soon as possible, they did not even land when they passed Lanfang to replenish coal and water, and did not take a closer look at the land that had actually become part of the Republic of China.
All this is to return to my hometown as soon as possible, see the yellow land that I have dreamed about countless times, and help the poor and weak motherland to become strong as soon as possible.
During their more than two years in Europe, they witnessed the prosperity of the continent and the cruelty of war. The Chinese soldiers had never been so eager to have a strong motherland.
Only when the country is strong can we ensure that our relatives can live a happy life; only when the country is strong can we ensure that our relatives will not be bullied by others.
Because your mood is so hot, you will feel particularly heartbroken when you encounter a cold reception.
Captain, what should I do? Wu Qing has become confused.
Huang Li's expression was cold and he squeezed out a word through his teeth.
Okay, just wait.
This wait lasted for three hours, until all the merchant ships in front had finished unloading their cargo, and then it was the turn of the cruise ship of the 32nd group to dock.
In fact, Tianjin is a frozen port. Ships cannot enter Tianjin Port until winter. But this year, perhaps because of the European war, a lot of supplies are needed. A large number of ships come in and out every day. It is really a miracle that Tianjin Port is not frozen.
Wait, wait a moment for a Port Authority official to come running over without even touching the ground.
The soldiers who had already anchored and lowered the gangway and were preparing to line up to go ashore were stunned.
The official was obese and was wearing a long robe and mandarin jacket. Because the clothes were thicker in winter, he looked even more bloated. However, the man's legs and feet were still flexible. Although he was panting and sweating profusely while running, his speed was very fast.
There is an order from the Presidential Palace asking everyone to postpone landing. The visitor trotted all the way to the gangway and said breathlessly without taking a breath.
How long will the login be suspended? Huang Li looked impatient.
After two months of wandering at sea, he was met with such a cold reception. When facing these bureaucrats, Huang Li was considered to have some discipline by not directly drawing his gun.
This, this, this so-and-so didn’t know, and he asked the military to atone for his sins. The official clasped his fists and apologized, bowing repeatedly.
This man was quite obedient and did not call himself an official. He also used the honorific title Junmen. Otherwise, Huang Li might have greeted him directly.
During the Republic of China, officials with guns in their hands were the boss. Officials really couldn't put on airs in front of soldiers. If they dared to shout around at soldiers like they did in the Qing Dynasty, they would be seeking death.
This ship was carrying medicines that were urgently needed by the Congress a while ago. Could it be that the disembarkation could not be postponed? Huang Li sneered.
Regarding penicillin, although Qin Zhiyuan did not directly set up a factory in the Republic of China, he never placed any restrictions on the demand of the Republic of China. Every once in a while, Qin Zhiyuan would always send a batch back to the country, even after knowing that some of these penicillins were used by some
Unscrupulous officials just pretended not to know about it when they resold it to the Japanese.
After all, what was resold was only a part. Even if only half of each batch could be used on the people, Qin Zhiyuan would send it back.
Regarding this corruption, Qin Zhiyuan believes that when the water is clear, there will be no fish. It doesn't matter if you are greedy and take advantage of it. After all, if you don't do it for yourself, heaven will punish you.
But no matter everything, there must be a bottom line. There cannot be unlimited corruption, and we cannot rule by doing nothing. As long as you serve as an official, you must benefit one party. It is normal to provide some welfare for your relatives in the process, but if you only care about welfare,
Or maybe it's too popular and ugly, so don't blame Qin Zhiyuan for going on a killing spree.
In fact, the Chinese people have very low requirements for officials, even to the extent that as long as they don't mess around, they are good officials. In a certain respect, the people are willing to treat officials like pigs. As long as you are full, go to bed and don't run around.
Naturally, medicines can be taken ashore by officials.
Humph, if we are not allowed to go ashore, there is no need to unload the medicines. When we can go ashore, we can unload the cargo. After Huang Li finished speaking, he snorted and turned around to return to the ship.
The official was dumbfounded. Looking at the thousands of people in front of him, he didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, since this person can be an official, he is naturally a bit quick-witted. This person suddenly came to his senses and reached out to grab Huang Li's sleeve and hold on: This military man doesn't know something. There are some rumors in the market recently.
You are in a very bad situation. The President has not allowed you to go ashore in order not to further intensify the conflict. After a few days when the sea calms down, you will naturally be able to go ashore.
Just a few days ago, the presidential battle finally came to an end. It was not a former president or a former prime minister, but a compromise candidate. This great president had no army, no foundation to speak of, and only a little prestige.
, the actual power can be imagined.
Huang Li broke the casserole and asked what was going on.
The official was immediately at a loss for words. Judging from his expression, he didn't dare to say anything.
It's okay, just say it, right and wrong are up to people's minds. Huang Li is confident.
In fact, the biggest difference between the soldiers of the Foreign Legion and the Chinese at this time was their confidence, whether they were facing Chinese or foreigners.
If you think about it, you can understand that the Foreign Legion fought fiercely with the Germans for two and a half years. Almost every soldier had the blood of foreigners on their hands. In addition, under the command of Qin Zhiyuan, most of the battles with the Germans ended in crushing.
, after seeing groups of foreigners with their hands raised in the air and being forced to surrender, and after seeing the horrific corpses of foreigners strewn across the fields after the war, the halo that shrouded the foreigners was shattered.
Hey, I don’t know anything about the army. Some time ago, someone slandered your army in the newspaper, saying that all members of your army have acquired French nationality. Now that they are back, they will serve as the vanguard of France to invade the Republic of China. They also called on the people in the newspaper to boycott your army.
, and leaked the docking time of your army. The official stamped his feet and decided to tell the truth.
What turtle son is so bold? Huang Li was furious.
Any one of them is possible. You need to calculate carefully. There are many suspects. Japanese, Westerners, and even some people in our country. Those who are afraid of your army are gone. Officials dare not name them specifically.
I can only speak in general terms.
This official is an official of the Port Authority. During the Republic of China, Tianjin Customs was still under the management of foreigners because it had to repay the indemnity from the Xinchou Treaty. Among foreigners, the foreign legions that played a great role in the world war were naturally an important talking point.
, so the customs officials have a better understanding of the actual situation under the influence of their ears and eyes.
It is true that some members of the Foreign Legion have acquired French citizenship, including the Legion Commander Qin Zhiyuan, but definitely not all of them.
The Chinese staff at the Port Authority and Customs may not have much admiration for these Chinese warriors, but they definitely have no feelings of disgust or hostility.
At this point, Huang Li had wronged the official.
It is easy to understand why Qin Zhiyuan is afraid of this. Qin Zhiyuan has nearly 200,000 troops, and they are all killed from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood on the European battlefield. They are well-trained and proficient in the use of aircraft, artillery, tanks, etc., which have not yet appeared in the Far East.
Weapons, if this force is allowed to appear in the Far East, it will probably destroy all the existing forces in the Republic of China.
And if the Republic of China is unified, it will definitely endanger the interests of certain countries. Therefore, from this aspect, Qin Zhiyuan's troops are public enemies in the eyes of all the forces in the Republic of China.
No matter it is for Easterners, Westerners or domestic governors.
In fact, including the French, they considered this aspect when they allowed Qin Zhiyuan to serve as the king of the Grand Duchy of Lanfang.
France also had interests in the Republic of China
So what if anyone has any objections to us, let them come to me themselves. Huang Li is overflowing with domineering attitude.
Soldiers have a so-called murderous aura, which is also called evil spirit. This is actually a professional habit, just like a butcher starting to click on the right place to cut when he sees a pig, and the occupation of a soldier is to kill people.
So when Huang Li was full of murderous intent, the civil affairs officials in front of him were murmuring. This was not a lie. Thousands of soldiers were angry at the same time. It was really scary, especially for ordinary people who worked in offices all day long.
.
Military gate is not a place where force can be used. Now, a large number of people have gathered at the gate of the port area. They are all attracted by those insidious villains. If the military gate disembarks now, something unspeakable may happen.
Why not stay away for a while and wait until the situation subsides before making other plans? The officials were persuading with sweat profusely.
, is actually the most uncontrollable state. When individuals are in a group, they will inevitably be affected by the fanatical emotions around them, and then do things that are absolutely impossible to do in ordinary times.
Of course, this is more due to the idea that the law does not blame everyone.
Humph, I want to see who dares to show off his sword in front of Guan Gong's gate. Huang Li sneered again and again, waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to go ashore.
No, no, no, no! The officials were sweating profusely and begged again and again.
You don't need to talk nonsense, I just want to see how much noise those clowns can make. I know that the Germans are all cuckolds, and they are still afraid that those clowns will not be successful and Huang Li will not believe in evil.
The soldiers didn't know something, and they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to take action when the time came, and the conflict would intensify to such an extent that it could no longer be resolved, and the officials would almost kneel down.
Huang Li didn't know much about it, but as a civil affairs officer, this official obviously knew it quite well.
No need to talk nonsense, I just want to see Huang Li getting angry, pushing away the officials and marching away with the crowd.
The situation gradually slipped into the uncontrollable unknown.
