No matter how difficult it is, Qin Zhiyuan regards Vladivostok as his unwavering goal.
In order for Qin Zhiyuan to send troops, the prerequisite is that Qin Zhiyuan gets back all the land lost by the former Qing Dynasty and adds interest. Otherwise, Qin Zhiyuan will sit back and watch both Musk and Omsk lose before sending troops to achieve his goal.
As for the 100,000 troops Lyotey mentioned, Qin Zhiyuan has already prepared them in the Far East.
But there was no need to tell Lyotey. What Lyotey meant was for Qin Zhiyuan to organize a force on the spot in Europe to directly attack Moscow, instead of attacking Vladivostok from the Far East.
Again, there are people in Europe who support Qin Zhiyuan in getting Vladivostok, but there are also people who don't support it.
For example, Lyotai supported Qin Zhiyuan in getting Vladivostok.
Lyautey is a soldier, and his thinking is relatively simple. In Lyautey's opinion, as a Frenchman, or as an ally of a Frenchman, Qin Zhiyuan's strength should be stronger, the better. Lyautey doesn't mind
Qin Zhiyuan established a large empire in the Far East.
But for Clemenceau, he does not necessarily want Qin Zhiyuan to get Vladivostok.
If in other matters, Clemenceau would certainly support Qin Zhiyuan, but that did not mean that Clemenceau was willing to see that Lanfang under Qin Zhiyuan's rule had too much strength, especially one that surpassed France.
Although France and Lanfang are allies, there is also a ranking problem within the alliance. If Lanfang is stronger than France, then France will be forced to become a vassal of Lanfang. This is something Clemenceau is absolutely unwilling to see.
Arrived.
Although Lanfang is still far behind France, at least Lanfang has this potential. Take a look at Corsica, which has a population of only 100,000. The current per capita GDP has exceeded that of Paris citizens. If you zoom in to
France as a whole has far exceeded the French average.
This was enough to make Clemenceau wary.
Cooperation and competition between countries change with changes in objective conditions. Qin Zhiyuan and the French army cooperated very well in World War I because they had a common enemy at the time.
With the end of the World War and the surrender of Germany, the Allied Powers have lost the threat of a common enemy, and the original cooperation will turn into internal intrigue.
This is not surprising at all.
It is precisely for this reason that Qin Zhiyuan immediately withdrew the Foreign Legion from France just after the World War, in order to reduce friction with the French army, which led to recurring relations between the Foreign Legion and the French army.
In fact, it is not good to withdraw too quickly. For example, now that Lyotai wants Qin Zhiyuan to form another 100,000-strong army, Qin Zhiyuan will have to start all over again.
It's not like starting from scratch. At least Qin Zhiyuan now has enough officers and sergeants, and it's enough to use them as the backbone of the army.
Paris, Bois de Boulogne, Foreign Legion headquarters.
Some time ago, with the gradual withdrawal of the Foreign Legion, calm has returned here.
The Foreign Legion's logo is still hanging on the camp gate, and a wooden sign with the serial number is still nailed to the side of the gate. The barracks are still neatly arranged, and all facilities on the training ground are in a state of ready use.
It's like the owner here has never left.
Today, the originally silent military camp was once again bustling with people. Another troop gathered here. They were still wearing the uniforms of the Foreign Legion, but their allegiance was no longer to France, but to French General Qin Zhiyuan.
There is of course a difference between the two.
It is true that Qin Zhiyuan is a French general, but Qin Zhiyuan also represents Lanfang, and the troops currently assembled in the Boulogne Forest are loyal to Lanfang.
Well, Clemenceau hopes that Qin Zhiyuan will intervene in the Russian Civil War, but not in the name of the French Foreign Legion. Instead, he hopes that Qin Zhiyuan will reach an agreement with Kolchak and join Kolchak's side in the name of a mercenary force.
.
In other words, the troops currently assembled here are no longer the French Foreign Legion with fine traditions, but a group of war hyenas hired by money.
Well, it doesn’t need to be said so hard. In this world, everything is bustling for profit; the world is bustling for profit, and everyone is running around for survival.
In this sense, all humans are war hyenas.
On the school field, a troop of about one company has been picked up and is being trained.
Among the teams undergoing domestication, there are many middle-aged people with rough faces. They may be from Germany, France, the Czech Republic, etc. from any corner of Europe. They are not here to kill anyone.
But to survive.
That's right, just survive, because these people know nothing but fighting. If you don't let them join the war, it is equivalent to letting them stay at home and wait for death, or forcing them to take risks for the sake of life.
The person lecturing in front of the team was a young man with black hair and black eyes. He wore a blue, yellow and green national flag on his left arm, and a 13-cent military rank mark on his shoulder. On the left side of his collar was the army logo represented by crossed rifles, and on the right collar was a young man.
There is a small pattern on it, which is a brown bear looking up to the sky and roaring. This is the symbol of the original 11th Division of the Foreign Legion and the current 2nd Armored Division.
These markings clearly identified the young man, who was from the 2nd Army Armored Division in Lanfang.
The 2nd Armored Division with outstanding military exploits.
In future battles, you must remember one thing firmly. We are mercenaries. We do not have our own country or our own beliefs. Our greatest hope is to allow our wives and children to live peacefully.
Let him go to hell with the rest. The young man walked slowly and glared at everyone in the queue with sharp eyes like an eagle.
The reaction of the soldiers satisfied the young people. These people were all veterans. They had indifferent expressions and their eyes were looking straight ahead. They seemed bright and focused, but in fact they had no focus at all.
These are all veterans. They are used to killing and death. There are not many things in this world that can move them.
In the next period of fighting, when faced with a situation where the mission cannot be completed, you should protect yourself as the first choice and complete the mission as the second choice. Your life does not only belong to you;
Family members belong to the entire Foreign Legion, so no one should give up their lives easily under any circumstances. That would not only be irresponsible for you, but also irresponsible for the property of the Foreign Legion. This time limit is limited to when we are still wearing this military uniform.
At that time, the young man pulled his collar to show the color of his clothes, which was white.
This set of clothes was just issued. In fact, after it was issued, many soldiers had already had a premonition of their next mission destination, and yes, it was Russia.
This is a force specially prepared for Russia.
Of course, the above cannot be the reason for you to refuse to perform the mission. There is one principle that I must make clear. If you resolutely carry out the order, then when you return to God, your family will receive a rich sum.
pension, but if you refuse to perform the mission, you will be treated as enemies and eliminated. At that time, your family will not receive any money. The young man's words were harsh and the content was chilling.
Sir, please speak. A soldier raised his hand to ask for the floor.
You can speak. The young man came to the soldier and stood face to face.
When there is a conflict between protecting ourselves and completing the mission, how should we choose? If we choose to protect ourselves, will we be regarded as enemies and directly eliminated? The soldier's tone was cold, just like his expression.
It sounds possible, but in fact it is not. First, the commander will not arrange for you to perform tasks that are difficult to complete. You are the property of the Foreign Legion, and the commander will not let his own property be damaged. Second,
If there is a conflict between the two, you can choose to protect yourself first, but you should not give up the mission, but use other methods to complete the mission. Do you understand now? The young man explained in detail. If you are a veteran, you can listen
Understand what young people mean.
There is actually no conflict between protecting yourself and completing your mission.
When the gap between one's own strength and the enemy's strength is so large that it is difficult to compete, protecting oneself should be the first priority. Only by preserving one's life can the mission be completed.
Save people and lose land, and everyone and land will survive; save land and lose people, and everyone and land will be lost.
That's what it means.
Finally, in order for you to have enough ability to perform the mission, from now on, you must forget everything you have learned before, treat yourself as a recruit who has just joined the barracks, and meet every requirement of the Foreign Legion. Then you can
Become a qualified foreign legionnaire and then be qualified to accept missions. Otherwise, you will only be entitled to a recruit salary of three francs per day. Do you understand? The young man continues to be strict.
No one objected this time. They are all veterans here. Some of them were friendly forces with the Foreign Legion in the World War, so they naturally understand the combat effectiveness of the Foreign Legion. Some of them were enemies with the Foreign Legion in the World War. They have no idea about the combat effectiveness of the Foreign Legion.
understand more.
To put it another way, many people are actually very curious about the training programs of the Foreign Legion. They eagerly want to know why the Foreign Legion has such a strong combat effectiveness and why neither the French Army nor the German Army, which were once known as the world's number one, are unable to match it.
Well, in the following days, they will have plenty of opportunities to get to know each other.
But I'm afraid that many of them won't have the time to think about this issue by then, because the training of the Foreign Legion never gives people time to breathe. They train from morning to night every day until the last trace of energy is drained out of the soldiers' bodies.
Of course, if you still have the mind to think about this issue during such intense training, then that person has the qualities to succeed.
Starting in April, this happens every day in the Bois de Boulogne.
Throughout April, approximately 10,000 people gathered in the Bois de Boulogne.
