In the shade of the orchard of a splendid manor, the white cloth on the dining table flutters in the warm wind. There was no one here except the orderlies who stood far away and watched all the needs of the generals.

Even, the rumbling of artillery on the Somme front line is not heard here. If it weren't for Xia Fei and Douglas. Haig was all dressed in military uniforms, and if it weren't for the gaze of the two orderlies not far away, it would have been a cosy afternoon party.

After a hearty meal, at the table in the dining room, Douglas. Haig sipped the black tea in his cup, and his eyes slanted at Tang Yunyang who came to the headquarters of the Somme coalition from time to time.

"He's just lost one of his biggest deals, but he doesn't seem to be unhappy at all. And today I didn't get straight to the point and gossip as usual. I watched today's scene, it could be very interesting! ”

When Xia Fei received Tang Yunyang, he was quite enthusiastic as usual. Even during the busy time of the war, he specially left behind what seemed to be countless military affairs and had a rich meal with Tang Yunyang.

"General, your red wine here is really quite good, if you can, can you give me a few bottles?"

"Of course, I will do it, Mr. Tang, it is really my honor that you can like it!"

Tang Yunyang, who had a smile on his face, grabbed a napkin and dipped it on his mouth.

"General, although your wine is very delicious, you know that I am not that drunk, and I prepared it for Lieutenant Colonel Miller, you know......"

Speaking of Xia Fei's former adjutant in the hunter regiment of the French First Assault Cavalry Division, and now Lieutenant Colonel Miller, Xia Fei will always have a deep feeling of regret in his heart. He pointed to Santa's head and stroked his walrus beard sadly.

"Yes, yes, what a pity! He used to have a very good future, but ...... What a sad misfortune! ”

Tang Yunyang nodded, with the same look of regret on his face. Major Miller was promoted to lieutenant colonel during the Battle of Nancy for his exploits. But in World War I, what could a lieutenant colonel who lost his legs and was confined to a wheelchair do?

"Yes, it is sad that the future of a young and promising officer has been ruined in this way. Therefore, I intend to invite Lieutenant Colonel Miller on a trip to Southeast Asia and China, and I intend to give him these fine wines that I have asked you for. You know, our Chinese wine, in terms of taste, French red wine has quite a farewell, and I am afraid that Lieutenant Colonel Miller will not get used to it! ”

Xia Fei was not surprised by the news, and Miller, who had always treated him as a father, had written to him to tell him everything. At the same time, he explained his thoughts.

“…… You may wonder, my dear general, why I would give up the post of staff officer you had prepared for me. Seriously, it makes me very sad to give up your kindness. Dear general, I beg your pardon for the cowardice of my feelings, I can't tolerate myself staying in the army as a waste, so ......"

After thinking about it, Lieutenant Colonel Miller accepted Tang Yunyang's kindness, and he will go to China as a representative of the MPM military-industrial complex. For the time being, he doesn't have any more work to do, just replacing Li Zhicheng as the supervisor in Shanghai. And before that, he will recuperate in Batavia for a while to recover his body and mind from the war.

Actually, through the content of the previous chapter, everyone understands. It would be a pity that a high-achieving student from the French Saint-Cyr Military Academy with experience in armored cluster combat should not be sent to the military academy as an instructor.

"Yes, yes, the war has ruined many promising youths, and this is really something that people can't get used to!"

Douglas. Haig picked up his teacup and raised it to a few people. He decided to act as the "bad boy" of the day and put that thing on the table.

"Mr. Tang, please believe me that the reason why I purchased British-made tanks this time is entirely because of the needs of the war. You know, it's not long before we launch a massive offensive, so ......"

Xia Fei for Douglas. Haig's hustle and bustle was somewhat unpleasant, although all along, he had been thinking about how to make Tang Yunyang accept this reality. To make him understand that this is not the United States, there are rules of the game. As a politician, there are times when he has to take care of other people's interests.

Tang Yunyang, on the other hand, enjoyed the comfort of the rich aroma of cigars mixed with the warm air, and bathed in the real sunshine was a comfortable thing.

"Oh, Sir Sir, it's not much to watch. You know, I've been too focused on my work. So, this time, I came out specifically to accompany our Miss Marianne out to relax! ”

"His words are insincere, everyone can see this, it seems that he is a little angry when he loses this business!"

Tang Yunyang's pretentious comfort saw that in the eyes of the two, there were completely two different feelings.

"yes, we've been living on the go, and I'm a little angry! Fortunately, the boss is willing to accompany me out for a walk! Sir Sir I would really like to go for a walk in England if I could. I think it's time for the Royal Navy ships to be assembled and ready to arrive! ”

"It is an honour to have a beautiful French girl like you to go to England. Miss Marianne I promise you will see the hospitable side of us in the UK. As for the ships, I really don't know. You know I'm an army officer, but I've heard that they've made quite a bit of progress! ”

Douglas. Haig knew that the protagonists of today's conversation should not be himself and Marianne. Therefore, for her "concern", only vague words.

"yes, I'd love to see it! Please excuse my curiosity, Mr. Sir, if you may, can you tell me what the Royal Navy thinks of our company's products? ”

Tang Yunyang showed a caring appearance for Marianne, therefore, Douglas. As soon as Haig's words fell, he casually asked, as if unintentionally.

"Oh, it's nothing! According to the Royal Navy Commander John Brown. Admiral Jericho's statement, this is a warship that suits the needs of war, but is fundamentally different from the development goals of the Royal Navy! ”

Hearing such an evaluation, Tang Yunyang chuckled without mind.

"Really? He's really a straightforward general, you say it, General Xiafei. Sometimes I wonder if the French Navy also needs such warships, otherwise our ties with the colonies will most likely be attacked by the German Ocean Fleet! ”
