Good weather will bring people a good mood, and Xu Jun is in a very good mood now.

Wandering the streets of Paris in 1940, the scenes that once only remained on vague black-and-white photographs and film films are now vividly presented in front of his eyes, Xu Jun felt a trace of inexplicable emotion from the bottom of his heart

It's a time of great vibrancy, people are just emerging from the world-class financial crisis, and everyone is hopeful about the future.

Sadly, Europe's greatest disgruntled youth was once again engulfed in war and notified by the ignorant Nazis for four years.

If Xu Jun hadn't come to this time and space, this disaster would have swept the world according to the course of history. For four years, those good old days were gone, and the noble values of the people were abandoned, leaving only the ruins and distorted world patterns that would haunt Europe for half a century.

But now that Xu Jun is here, he has reached this era, he has taken on the responsibility given to him by fate, he must be responsible for all this, and he must not let that tragedy happen again, he has this right and power.

Xu Jun now looked at the peaceful and peaceful expressions on people's faces with relief, and he knew that he had successfully changed the course of history, and the next thing to do was to continue and defend the current achievements and make them healthy.

"There's the Seine ahead, sir."

Wehrle said from the side.

It was the first time he had spoken since he left the square, and it seemed that His Excellency the Chief of Staff had finally decided to break the can.

"Oh, it's still early, I see we go to the river, I haven't seen the Seine up close."

Xu Jun replied with a smile.

"I haven't seen it either, Monsieur Verrle......"

Randolph chimed in.

"Follow along, don't look around."

Werler glared back at Randolph fiercely, startling Randolph back before he could say what was going on.

The three stopped at a traffic light, a busy intersection where vehicles to the Champs-Élysées and the Palace of Versailles passed.

A German gendarme and two French scouts were chatting happily on a tuk-rickshaw on the side of the street, and they seemed to know each other well.

This is what Xu Jun wants to see the most, that Germans and French can build friendship in addition to hating and killing each other.

Xu Jun knew exactly what the foundation of this friendship was. That is, equality, honesty, mutual understanding and trust.

In order to achieve these goals, Xu Jun issued a number of orders to try to deepen the understanding between the Germans and the French, to bridge the gap caused by history, to make them respect each other and to build the most basic trust.

Although he will definitely encounter various obstacles before reaching his goal, Xu Jun has already seen hope in this scene in front of him.

Xu Jun first worked on the military side, because as peers, they have a common language, as long as they are not in a hostile state, it is easiest for soldiers to understand each other and establish friendship.

For example, the poor French army group, Xu Jun did not put them in prisoner of war camps after accepting their surrender, and they are still stationed in their respective military camps.

Xu Jun didn't even collect their weapons, but just sealed some heavy equipment and ammunition.

Xu Jun allowed them to continue to keep their own structure and was also led by the original officers, except that they were not allowed to take weapons out of the barracks, soldiers were allowed to enter and leave the barracks at will with the consent of the officers, and the judicial officers were allowed to wear their medals and pistols on the streets.

This made those French ** people really confused for a while, and they couldn't tell what the Germans wanted to do.

But the privileges really made them happy, they felt like they had regained their lost respect, and they quickly recovered from the frustration of being captured.

In particular, after their commander's request to allow French soldiers to participate in street patrols to help the Germans maintain order in Paris was readily approved by the German Führer, the hostility of the French towards the Germans began to slowly subside.

This was originally a temptation, Xu Jun also knew this very well, the French wanted to know where the bottom line of the Germans was, Xu Jun told them with facts that the bottom line of the Germans was much lower than they imagined.

Of course, it is a bit unrealistic to want to make the other party completely forget the national hatred and family hatred just by relying on this kind of small favor. But Xu Jun believes that if the seed is planted, mutual trust is established, and the relationship is maintained with honesty and patience, the seed will grow into a towering tree, and such precedents abound in history.

In the same way, there are just as many big trees that have fallen suddenly in history, and even the strongest alliances can fall apart in an instant under the conflict of interests, and countries that are friendly to each other can turn against each other, and once close nations can become mortal enemies.

Xu Jun didn't dare to hope that the big tree he planted would last for eternity, the only thing he could think of and do now was to plant this seed and try his best to take care of it, for himself and for the responsibility on his shoulders.

Xu Jun and his entourage came to the Seine, standing on the tall embankment and looking at the towering minaret of Notre Dame Cathedral in the distance, the turquoise Seine River flowing quietly, this river that carries the entire history of the city and even the country in her unique way wants Xu Jun to tell those stories that have long since disappeared.

"It's such a beautiful river, and I can imagine the bustle of the French aristocracy when they came to the river for a picnic with their families. Louis XIII, Louis XIV, the great kings, who may have been at war as we are now, looking at this beautiful city......"

Willle exclaimed sincerely.

"Well, to be exact, we're seeing a lot more beautiful than they were back then, Werle. Paris was not built in a day, the Champs-Élysées was still just a suburban villa area, and the banks of the Seine were still a meadow, and it was the diligence and hard work of Parisians who made the city so glorious today.

Looking back at history, I now think of the darkest page of Paris, the place of death during the French Revolution, the clear waters of the Seine stained red with the blood of innocent victims, and the bodies of murdered victims often floating on the water. ”

Xu Jun said indifferently.

"You're really spoiled, sir. Aren't we here to relax? Why do you even bring up those unpleasant things. ”

Weirle said with a wry smile.

"Because I'm a little afraid that scene will be repeated in my hands, and I feel a little emotional, Werle."

"Are you worried about domestic ...... I don't think you have to worry about anything, sir. Hans will take care of everything for you, we all know his character, and besides, Bormann is behind him to help him......"

"All I'm worried about is ...... Forget it, let's go to that restaurant, I'm a little hungry. ”

Xu Jun turned around and walked down the embankment.
