Chapter 891: The World Quietly Changed

Sweat kept dripping down the foreheads of the white youth.

He felt great fear, as if another invisible hand was holding his heart tightly, and the next moment his heart seemed to be about to be pinched and exploded, and the whole person was about to be pinched and exploded.

But he didn't have the courage to explain everything to his uncle, because he was already in the water, and not just in the water.

“…… You have to think about yourself, you have to think about your future. You are only your uncle's nephew, and your cousin is the one who inherits your uncle's family property, what can you gain? ”

"Do you want to eat a bite of food?"

"Do you want to live a life of snorting?"

"Don't you want to have more wealth than your uncle and live a better and better life?"

The young man, the secretary of his mayor's uncle, had quietly told the observer some less important information because of the lure of wealth, and then, like a prey in the mire, could no longer struggle to escape the observer's grasp.

"You are the devil, you are a real devil......"

Every word that came out of the mouth of the 'smiling' man on the other side made him feel like he was dealing with the devil, and the desire in his heart was stirred up little by little by the observer, and then he couldn't hold it back.

“…… You see, Monsieur Bertrand, you are still young and have a great future. We know you've been treated unfairly in your uncle's family lately. Your aunt and cousin shouldn't do this to you, you're their family. But I don't feel the smell of relatives in them......

I think it will be very troublesome if you continue to stay in this family in the future. ”

The Gallic lad named Bertrand couldn't help but touch his left thigh, his cousin was hunting, and a shot almost hit him in the left leg, oh my God, just a little bit worse. Bertrand: At that moment, everyone was scared to pee.

But all he got was an inappropriate apology from his cousin, who had always behaved well in front of his uncle.

But Bertrand felt that it was definitely not unintentional, and the only thing he could not judge was whether the shot, his dear cousin, was intended to break his leg or was merely a warning to him.

Seriously, Bertrand had a lot of affection for his uncle, and his uncle loved him, after all, his cousin and aunt were suspicious of him, and if his uncle didn't really love him, how could that be?

But the cousin, and his aunt, who thought of them, Bertrand could only hold back his anger.

"We can guarantee that you will have a decent job in the future, and in addition to your status, you are also a qualified secretary. Whether it's a trading company or a bank, I think they will be happy to offer you a job that satisfies you. ”

"We never treat our friends badly."

"We'll pay you a fair amount and keep it a secret for you forever, you know, aren't we?"

The observer, intentionally or unintentionally, touched a money bag on the table, revealing some golden pounds, and noticed that the young man was visibly swallowing a mouthful of saliva. But the next moment, the observer put away the money bag:

"Of course, we don't force our friends to do things they don't like. We need employees who are willing and happy to join, not forced to do so. You can go back and think about it, and we need to talk to the others again – knowing that you're not the only one who deserves the job. ”

"We had a very good relationship before, and I really don't want to see our friendship run aground."

Saying that, the observer sent Bertrand away, and after a while, a man who came out of the back of the room was very incomprehensible and said, "Chief, I see that he is about to loosen his mouth, why should he be sent away?" ”

Kindernagar's intelligence agent could not have been operating alone.

"It's better to put a little pressure on it. When faced with competition, people will always make decisions faster. Alright, let's invite our next guest in. ”

"Remember, let Bertrand see his shadow."

The latter walked out with a smile, and after a while, he walked in with a middle-aged Caucasian man in his thirties, who suddenly had a look of surprise on his face when he saw the observer.

A smile appeared on the observer's lips again: "Dear friend, we haven't seen each other in a while. I have always thought that you are a smart person and you will always make wise choices on the road of life......"

"Yes, sir. I have a very sensitive nose and can always smell different smells. ”

"That's right." The observer laughed, "I like to work with smart people. ”

……

When Chen Zhan finished his internship class, he returned to Kolkata. Here he was greeted with authenticity and warmth by the British. Chen Zhan had to stay in Kolkata for a long time, one was to wait for the monsoon, but to collect news.

This is the base camp of the British in the East, and there is always a lot of useful information to be found. Moreover, it is an open collection, which is much more convenient, fast and safe than that of intelligence officers.

The entire fleet was also docked in Calcutta, two third-class sail battleships, two thousand-ton fifth-class sail battleships, plus two small five-hundred-ton flying shear bow ships, such an escort force can be said to be a small fleet.

Chen Zhan's ship is a 2,000-ton Western-style sail ocean-going merchant ship, although there are not many changes, but a merchant ship is a merchant ship, and the comfort of the ship is far better than that of a warship. It's just that this Western-style sailing ship is no more comfortable than a Chinese-style sailing ship, but the speed of the Chinese-style sailing ship is slower, and the hull hardware is a bit disadvantaged, so it is really not suitable for long-distance navigation through things.

Together with one transport ship, the entire fleet has a total of eight sailing ships, with a total tonnage of more than 10,000 tons, and the entire fleet has 3,000 members.

Today, all of these 3,000 people are resting and resting in Calcutta, which is the base camp of the British in the East, and has a large number of military and commercial sailing ships docked all year round, as well as many British colonists and armies.

There is an unconsciously communication between the two.

Of course, the British are very willing to communicate with the marines in the Chinese fleet, and so many years have passed since the era of platoon shooting, but the training methods of the British army in the new era have not yet been well explored.

Some of the methods of the British were learned from China.

For example, instead of blindly emphasizing the right step, we should pay close attention to assassination training and strengthen civil bunker training, but due to the limited performance of muskets in this era, it has never been able to form a breakthrough new development.

In fact, even the Wehrmacht is now stuck in the middle of the road, unable to get up or down.

Even if a few elite troops equipped Chen Ming with a Mini-style rifle, that thing also eats with its mouth, and if you want to load ammunition, you have to stand up.

Therefore, the small abacus of the British did not start. But they have more or less gains.

For example, Chinese soldiers like to play sports in their spare time, and football is not only promoted smoothly in China, but also very easy for the British to learn. The rules of the sport were transmitted to Kolkata many years earlier.

"Toot!"

With a sharp whistle, a red and white ball flew high in the air, and before the ball could land, seven or eight big men below couldn't wait to pounce on the predetermined landing point, and the surrounding crowd let out bursts of cheers.

On the field of the British Military Academy in Kolkata, the fifth match of the first Sino-British Kolkata Football Match officially began.

The British love of football is undeniable, but in a highly hierarchical army, such a sport does not go very well. White people do not mix with the indigenous Indians, and white officers do not mix with white soldiers, and there is even an insurmountable barrier between junior and senior officers.

But in the Wehrmacht, none of these problems exist. On the field, even a soldier can shovel at the officer player who is facing him, and the officer player can roll with the soldiers who are far more powerful than them to fight for the ball.

After coming into contact with the Chinese Marines, the British did not learn any impressive military training skills, but they learned how to make the army more united and more integrated.

Of course, even if the British see the benefits of this 'no distinction on the field', it will be very difficult to completely push it out in the British army.

In any case, the British knew that it was not an absolutely bad thing to properly tolerate the soldiers 'moving'.

As an army, in addition to strict training, necessary cultural and sports activities should not be ignored - the barracks are full of men with strong blood, and vigorous energy needs a place to vent after all. Relying on discipline alone to forcibly suppress it is okay in a short period of time, but it is inevitable that there will be troubles after a long time.

Of course, this can be vented through JULL in the middle of a war.

The European armies of this era are not ordinary pickles.

Although this kind of thing in JYLL is very inhumane, and many times it is even said to be an animal act, but for an army that has been in a high-pressure environment all year round, it really has the effect of releasing passion. Even to a certain extent, this can stimulate the soldiers' yearning for war.

However, in the relatively strict requirements of the Wehrmacht, the soldiers have too much passion, and through various competitions, it is an excellent outlet and helps to exercise the sense of cooperation and coordination among the soldiers.

However, compared to the basketball that the PLA is accustomed to in the 21st century, the main sport chosen by the Wehrmacht is football - which may be less confrontational than basketball, but it is less demanding on the ball itself, and it can also be played with protective gear. For example, knee pads, elbow pads, shin pads, ankle pads, wrist pads, and waist pads, of course, the effect is not comparable to similar products in the 21st century, but at least it is a protection.

It can be said that this era is the most suitable collective movement for the army.

The Wehrmacht and the British have played four games, and all four games have been easily won, but the score is different, from 12:0 at the beginning to 5:0 in the last game, although they are all big wins, but the British defensive progress is also visible to the naked eye.

Four consecutive big defeats, but because the score continued to shrink, it gave the British the last hope. They insisted on competing with the Chinese team, just eager to 'learn from failure' and then complete their own Jedi counterattack.

In that case, the British army in Calcutta will accomplish a miracle!

This would have had a huge effect on boosting the morale of the British and the British army.

This competition is no longer simply a competition between countries, let alone a battle of will, but a battle of strength and morale between countries.

Competitive competition is a war in peacetime. Athletic competition itself is a cruel law full of survival of the fittest. It carries pleasure, national feelings, and the origin of historical grievances.

In the original plane of time and space, in the 1986 World Cup, Maradona led Argentine to defeat England 2-0, and avenged the defeat of the Falklands on the football field. This is normal. And when England won the World Cup in 1966, the number of people who immigrated to Australia from Britain plummeted, because national feelings had deeply affected society.

In this era, of course, none of this is happening.

But it can be used to push the other.

The Europeans must also be holding their breath for China, the interests of the British are more or less harmed by China, and China's advanced strides into India have directly endangered the interests of the British.

The British are like Argentina after the Falklands War, and China is the British who bullied others once at their doorstep.

For the sake of the 'big picture', these John Bulls could only choose to be patient in specific matters, but when the face-to-face sports competition began, the shift in emotions made them place great expectations on their 'Jedi Counterattack'.

……

The news that His Royal Highness the Prince of China was going to visit Europe reached St. Petersburg, the capital of the Russian Empire, in the early winter of the eighteenth year of Chengtian.

Although it is not the coldest world in Russia at this time, the capital of the Russian Empire, which has just been rendered by ice and snow, is even colder than the coldest time in winter. Because the climate of the continent has changed.

Prussia and Austria withdrew their support for the Russians, especially the Austrians, and unilaterally signed an armistice with the Ottoman Empire. Because the energies of the two countries have a new target - the French.

In the winter of that year, the Swedes fell silent, losing a tough and politically skilled king, and Sweden's fledgling state sank again. However, King Frederick Wilhelm II of Prussia and King of Austria, the Holy Roman Emperor of the Habsburg Empire, Leopold II, had openly declared their intention to intervene in the French Revolution.

War between the three countries is on the verge of breaking out.

The French militia is gathering towards Paris, towards the north of France, and the war that is about to break out on the European continent is unstoppable.

St. Petersburg was hit hard.

The good news of the opening of the armistice negotiations between China, Russia and Austria has become a thing of the past, the Russian army on the Western Front moved eastward through St. Petersburg, and the slogans and flags hung at that time were still left on the streets, but they have completely lost their colors under the cold wind of Moscow winter.

Represented by Prussia and Austria, including Britain, Spain, and Portugal, all the former supporters of Russia have shrunk their money, and Russia's military spending is about to dry up again.

The prestige of the Russian Empire in Europe was being overtaken by Austria and Prussia, losing almost all of Siberia and most of the steel factories on the Eurasian dividing line.

Without the funds of various countries, Russia, whose military spending has dried up, can no longer support the war......
