In fact, Qin Zhiyuan has been conducting non-stop inspections since he was a child.
For ordinary families, the Spring Festival may mean reunion and happiness, but for King Qin Zhiyuan, the Spring Festival means more responsibilities and requires more careful work.
Such busy work will definitely neglect Julie and Qin De. Several times, when Qin Zhiyuan returned to the palace late at night, he saw Julie curled up on the sofa, already asleep.
For this, Qin Zhiyuan could only bury his guilt in his heart. Since he has taken this position, he must bear this responsibility, and Qin Zhiyuan has no choice but to shoulder the responsibility.
Fortunately, Qin Zhiyuan still has a chance to redeem himself. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Qin Zhiyuan will visit the Republic of China, and then go to Belgium to participate in the Olympic Games and make some visits to Europe. By then, Qin Zhiyuan will have many opportunities to make up for Julie.
February 19th, New Year's Eve.
This dinner can be said to be the most important meal in traditional Chinese customs. Qin Zhiyuan did not make any red tape. He just gathered Qin Zhiyuan's relatives and Julie's family to have a meal together as a way to bond.
In fact, Julie's family does not have the habit of celebrating the Spring Festival, but they do as the locals do, and Julie's family has adapted very well.
That night, the royal palace on Penglai Island finally ushered in its most lively moment.
Qin Zhiyuan, Qin Zhisheng, Foch and others were talking in the living room. Also present were Portlem, who had already made an engagement with Natalie, and Hyman Herbert, who was already serving in the staff, and who was preparing to prepare after the Spring Festival.
Bill Frederick, who went to serve in the Navy, and several outstanding young people from the next generation of the Qin family.
Of course Girardine was also there, but she was dragged to the women's side by Julie, which left a purely men's party time here.
With their status as Qin Zhiyuan and Foch, the content of their chat would definitely be shocking under normal circumstances, but today was different from the past. All the men had a tacit understanding. They kept silent about state affairs and only chatted about household matters. The atmosphere was quite relaxed and pleasant.
.
Such an occasion obviously makes Foch more comfortable. Perhaps because of his age, Foch likes young people very much, especially young people who are just starting out like Hyman and Bill. Foch pays them the greatest attention.
Hey, come here, boy, let me see you, what is your name? Foch's tone was full of intimacy, which made people admire him.
Your Excellency, Marshal, my name is Heyman, Heyman Herbert. Facing Foch, Heyman was inevitably nervous.
In fact, Foch and Heymann met at the Chateau Black Swan in Paris.
But that was three years ago. At that time, Heyman was thin and small, with bruises all over his body and a miserable expression. There was a huge difference from the tall, strong and confident person he is now. Not to mention Foch, who is nearly seventy years old, even his memory
The exuberant young man is probably not sure that the current Heyman is the same person as the poor boy three years ago.
Oh, you are working in the staff department now. Artilleryman Foch has a pretty good eye. You can tell Heyman's military branch from Heyman's seniority stamp.
Yes, Marshal, I am currently working in the Artillery Headquarters under General Zheng. Heyman answered calmly, and after thinking about it, he added another sentence: In fact, what I want to join is the armored corps.
Oh hahaha, you all want to join the armored force, but artillery is the eternal king of war. If you understand artillery, you will understand the essence of war, so work hard, kids, we are all getting old, and this world will eventually belong to you.
Foch was generous with his praise and had high expectations for Hyman.
But they all said that artillery has declined and that armor represents the future of war. Heyman was a little confused.
It can also be understood that at the age of fifteen or sixteen, the world outlook, life outlook and values are not mature enough. The thoughts of this age group can easily be influenced by other people. Of course, as long as we can finally get back on the right track, we will not be confused now.
All are normal.
No, artillery will still be the master of war, but it will be in another form, so what you need now is to persist, not to have to wait and see, so work hard. In ten years at most, you will see powerful artillery, far more powerful than
Just as you imagine. Qin Zhiyuan also gave Heyman reassurance.
Just before the Spring Festival, Qin Zhiyuan had ordered the start of research on rocket launchers. Compared to towed artillery or self-propelled artillery, rocket launchers were a crazier and more powerful weapon.
More importantly, studying rocket launchers can reserve technology for the next step of rocket research. When the time is right, Lan Fang will start researching rockets and then missiles. When missiles appear, artillery will once again become the master of war.
Of course, there is no need to say these things now. Before the missile appears, this will be Lanfang's top secret.
Good father, I listen to you. Haiman always obeys Qin Zhiyuan unconditionally and has never had any doubts.
So what about you, little guy, let me think about your name, Bill. You seem to be called Bill, right? Foch turned to Bill Frederick.
Yes, your Excellency, Marshal, my name is Bill, Bill Frederick. After the New Year, I will enter the Navy to serve, and maybe I will catch up with the Lelang. Bill Frederick is a little excited.
The Lelang is the second Nagato-class Mutsu towed back from Japan. The Lelang is currently being refitted in Cam Ranh Bay. It is estimated that the outfitting will be completed by May or June. If Bill Frederick enters the Navy after this year,
If you serve in the military, you might be able to catch up.
Hahaha, if you want to board the Lelang, you must lose weight. Your figure is a bit over the top. Foch made fun of you maliciously.
Uh, yes, Marshal, I will. Bill Frederick's ears are turning red.
In fact, Bill Frederick is just a little chubby. There is no problem with this. It only takes a period of persistence and he will become a strong and healthy young man. And even if Bill Frederick does not lose weight, he probably wants to live a happy life.
There is no problem on the Lang. The sailor cabin of the Le Lang has been modified according to the physique of the Lanfang people and is much more spacious than the original one.
So what about you, who can introduce yourself? Foch finally turned to three young people from the Qin family.
The three of them looked at each other and did not give in much. In the middle, a young man with the tallest stature, the calmest temperament and a scar at the corner of his eye took a step forward and stood at attention and saluted: Your Excellency, Marshal, Qin, deputy commander of the Major and Deputy Commander of the First Regiment of the 1st Armored Division of Lanfang.
Zephyr salutes you.
A very good young man. The key is that Qin Hefeng can speak French, which saves the need for translation.
Qin Hefeng, this is a good name. You are a member of the Qin clan and are related to a Chinese. Foch also knows something about the relationship between Chinese people.
Yes, Marshal, if you go by seniority, His Majesty the King is my uncle. Qin Hefeng's voice was loud and clear.
Wow, I didn’t know, it turns out there is a prince here. Foch joked casually.
No, no, no, Marshal, I am just a soldier and have never considered myself a prince. Qin Hefeng is very embarrassed.
The king's nephew can also be regarded as a prince. If according to traditional customs, the prince even has the right to inherit the throne.
Of course, Qin Hefeng probably wouldn't dare to think so. If Qin Hefeng revealed this intention, Qin Zhisheng would be able to help his nephew eliminate hidden dangers without Qin De taking action.
The relationship between Chinese people is actually very magical. For example, in the same village, as long as they have not played in the fifth service, they can be regarded as relatives.
The relationship between Qin Hefeng and Qin Zhiyuan is like this. Strictly speaking, Qin Zhiyuan and Qin Hefeng's father have the same great-grandfather. Of course, there is still a blood relationship between them, but it is already quite weak.
In fact, Qin Hefeng had never revealed this kind of relationship in the army. There was no family affection in the Tian family, and he would shed tears if he talked about it too much. He might as well do his own thing honestly, at least no one would dare to take credit for his achievements.
Judging from your French, I'm curious that you joined the Foreign Legion Foch.
Yes, Your Excellency Marshal, I went to Europe two years ago and joined the Foreign Legion, but I have been serving in Corsica and did not get the chance to fight in Europe. However, I participated in the war against Japan and won the honorary title during the war. He has won three military medals. Qin Hefeng has also been on the battlefield, so he is particularly confident in what he says.
Let me see, oh, a Distinguished Service Medal, a Valor Medal, and a Yingzhou Campaign Medal, not bad. Foch nodded repeatedly.
The Medal for Distinguished Service is equivalent to a first-class merit; the Medal for Valor is to commemorate the heroic actions of those who were injured and stayed on the line of fire during the war; as for the Medal for the Yingzhou Campaign, everyone who has participated in the Yingzhou Campaign will have one.
Well, what about you two? Foch is waiting for the last two young men to introduce themselves.
Your Excellency, Marshal, Qin Feihong from the 1st Squadron of the Taishan Fighter Group of the Mobile Fleet salutes you.
Your Excellency, Marshal, Qin Chengli of the Wanghai Prefecture Special Commando Team salutes you. Qin Feihong and Qin Chengli said in unison.
These two are just a bit off, as their French is not very proficient, but they can still express themselves stumblingly, which is not easy at all.
In fact, many people in Lanfang understand French, and even many people are familiar with German and English. The Lanfang Military Department advocates learning foreign languages. As long as there is an opportunity, those who are qualified will always learn something and increase their knowledge reserves.
In this regard, those with the most favorable conditions are the soldiers.
At present, in Lanfang, there are not only Chinese in the army, but actually people from all countries, from the French to the Germans, to the Russians, the Annamites, the Koreans, etc. As long as you want to learn a foreign language, there is always no shortage of teachers.
Very good, they are all very good. Seeing them, I feel that they are all much younger, and they are all good young men. Foch's love for young people is beyond words.
Yes, they are all very good. Maybe we will be able to retire from the army in less than 20 years. Qin Zhiyuan is looking forward to the day of retirement.
Hahahaha, Your Majesty, you are only 22 years old, are you kidding? Qin Zhisheng laughed wildly.
Only then did Qin Zhiyuan realize that, yes, he was not much older than Qin Hefeng and the others.
