When he arrived in Algiers, Qin Chuan realized that he was wrong.

The order turned out to be the ...... "rest" that he considered the most unlikely!

"Three days off!" Colonel Slain ordered: "Give each of you a hundred francs as a reward for your performance on the battlefield!" ”

The soldiers couldn't help but cheer loudly.

A hundred francs would have been a lot of money if it had been a year ago, because at that time it was exchanged for dollars at an exchange rate of 5 to 1, and one hundred francs was equivalent to 20 dollars, and in terms of purchasing power, it was equivalent to 360 dollars in modern times, which is about 2,000 yuan.

However, due to the surrender of France, the loss of confidence in the franc, and the sluggish French economy due to German taxation on France, the franc depreciated rapidly, and was only worth about one dollar at this time.

However, this was still enough for the soldiers to have two seafood feasts on the beach, blowing the sea breeze.

But the soldiers were soon at a loss after their excitement.

Sometimes it's like this, when the battlefield is so tense that it is about to collapse, you think about taking a vacation and resting all day long, but when you do take a vacation, you find that you don't know what to do or where to go.

Qin Chuan also felt this way.

Go home?

Let's not say that I don't know my so-called "home" at all, even if I want to go back...... Three days is simply enough time to go back, unless there is a US military transport plane that can take him back.

Wandering around Algiers?

Forget it, it's nothing more than drinking, eating, etc., although eating is still very attractive...... Just like before, even a chicken has to risk his life to eat it when the smell of birds fades out on the battlefield.

However, isn't it too wasteful to spend three days of vacation on food?

"Captain!" Colonel Slain said, "Have you figured out how you're going to spend this holiday?" ”

Before Qin Chuan could answer, Venette grabbed Qin Chuan's arm and replied, "Yes, Colonel, we've thought about it!" ”

"Uh-huh!" Colonel Slane smiled enviously at Qin Chuan, and the soldiers around him also coaxed...... Vignette is almost announcing their romance to everyone.

"Enjoy these three days!" Colonel Slane said secretly.

As she walked out of the barracks, she stopped a carriage...... It was a former French colony, and some of the living habits were more like those of France, such as the horse-drawn carriage used to carry passengers, which was the kind of four-wheeled carriage of the European antique type, but it was simpler because of the relatively backward economy.

Venette stepped into the carriage and said the name of the place, and with a flick of her hand she gave the coachman five hundred francs (the maximum denomination...... The coachman's eyes were full of consternation, as if he did not expect such a generous gesture from the two soldiers, who were dressed in rags and dirty like beggars, and had thought that he was worried about providing free services, which was a common occurrence in Algiers, especially for white soldiers.

Therefore, the coachman took off his hat with a grateful expression and saluted Qin Chuan and Venety respectively.

"Maybe you shouldn't!" Qin Chuan waited for the carriage to run before he began to speak.

"What?"

"I mean what you said in front of the Colonel!"

"Oh, why?" Annette replied nonchalantly, and rolled up her sleeves to check, she had already begun to count the scars she had made on the battlefield.

"You should know that you are very popular in the army!" Qin Chuan said.

This is the truth, the vast majority of the troops are men, men with strong blood, especially suffering from the pressure of battlefield death, especially Vignette is still a typical French beauty, especially the French are still alive...... So although they more or less knew about the relationship between Venette and Qin Chuan, there were still many soldiers who offered their courtesy to Venette.

"That's exactly what I was hoping for!" Winette looked back and smiled, "Moreover, you are also very popular in the army...... Although there are few women in the army! ”

Qin Chuan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then quickly thought of Yulia. Qin Chuan couldn't help but roll his eyes, feeling that there was still a purpose for Venette to do this.

The carriage stopped in front of Vignette's villa, and the butler looked at Qin Chuan and Venette who walked down from the car with a shocked face.

It took a long time for the housekeeper to recognize Qin Chuan, and he hurriedly greeted him, looking a little flustered: "It turned out to be a lieutenant, no, you are already a captain." You're welcome, and if you let me know beforehand, I'll let Mr. Benois ......"

Venete "hummed" beside her, and said in a serious man's voice: "Mr. Jeremi, we have come to search this house, and we have received reliable information that there has been a murder here...... You've slaughtered at least two chickens, and I can already smell the scent! ”

"Little ...... Miss! Only then did the butler recognize Vignette.

But despite this, the look of consternation on the butler's face was no less than seeing a murder.

Yes, Vinette's current appearance has changed too much compared to the image of wearing makeup, wearing a tight long skirt, and holding a small umbrella a few months ago, but Qin Chuan didn't think it when he saw Vinet's changes, but now at first glance, he didn't even recognize the housekeeper.

"I lied to you!" Winette laughed happily and ran towards the door.

What surprised Qin Chuan was that he felt that the housekeeper wanted to prevent the two from entering the house, but he couldn't find an excuse, so he stood at the door with some embarrassment.

"Any questions?" Qin Chuan asked, "Are we too presumptuous?" ”

"No, no, Mr. Captain!" The butler replied, "Of course not!" ”

Then, as if remembering something, he said, "Oh, I'll tell you!" ”

"Uh-huh!" Qin Chuan nodded.

Looking at the back of the housekeeper leaving in a hurry, Qin Chuan couldn't help but wonder, does the young lady need to be notified when she is back?

But what else could Benoit do? Qin Chuan shook his head, thinking that this was just the result of his failure to adapt to a peaceful society after staying on the battlefield for a long time...... They call this battlefield syndrome.

When I walked through the door, I saw that Benois was already waiting at the door.

"Oh, Vignette, my daughter! I don't recognize you anymore! Then Benois rushed to Qin Chuan and said, "Captain, I'm glad that you are already a captain, we should celebrate this, right?" I have a bottle of champagne in my study! ”

But Qin Chuan didn't move, he was sensitive to the danger, although he didn't know what the danger was.

Suddenly, the door to the upstairs room opened, and a figure flashed out, gun in hand.

Qin Chuan rolled on the spot.

"Bang!" With a bang, the bullet hit where he was.

Qin Chuan did not hesitate, and pulled out the pistol on his waist as quickly as he could.

"Bang bang!" The figure fell.

But in the next second, Qin Chuan heard Vignette shouting: "No, he's Antoine!" ”
