"Today is going to be a special day, isn't it?"

"Yes, a lot of big people who used to be heard and seen on the radio or in the newspapers can see them with their own eyes today."

In the darkness of the night, two red dots flickered from time to time, and they were the points of light that appeared when the two soldiers were spitting into the clouds. Whenever the cigarette is inhaled, the reddish light can reflect a bearded face, but it will soon disappear as the cigarette is removed from the lips.

This is a sentry made of wooden pegs that resembles a telephone booth, and two soldiers wearing khaki uniforms and carrying Lebel M1886 rifles on the back of their shoulders stand next to the sentry. Rodin and Claude. Rousseau, who was in charge of staying at the sentry watch, was on duty at night.

The sentinel itself has the intention of attracting enemies who may invade, so it can smoke openly. For example, some soldiers who stay on duty at night at the dark outpost, even if they have a smoking addiction, they either endure it, or they can only desert and run to a place that they think is more secretive to secretly smoke a few puffs.

Victor. Rodin and Claude. What Rousseau was talking about was about the fact that there would be a big official coming to the field hospital to offer condolences. This matter had been notified half a month ago, but at that time it was only known to high-level officials, but the more people who knew about it later, especially after the soldiers of a company were stationed in the field hospital, the secret was no longer a secret.

"When will this damn war end?"

"I'm afraid it's hard."

"Well, I didn't understand why we were fighting for an assassin."

"We are not fighting for the Assassins, we are fighting for France."

What assassin? Isn't it that he assassinated Archduke Ferdinand and his wife in Sarajevo, the originator of fear ~ horror ~ lordship ~ righteousness, the Serbian named Princip.

"Hell, it's not wrong for France, but it's always disgraceful."

"It's too late to say anything, the Germans have already entered France, can we still not fight?"

Not surprisingly, France is a rather interesting country where they can be romantic and then scold war, fighting for their country and wondering if they are fighting a just war.

The Allies sided with the Assassins and declared war on the Allies, as was the case in Britain, Russia, and even Canada, India, and New Zealand in the Commonwealth...... No matter which country it is, even if they think it in their hearts, they will never say it. Only the French would complain from time to time that the country was at war.

The French also had reason to complain, no amount of linguistic embellishment could change that the war was actually provoked by the Allies, and whether it was for the sake of national interests or whatever, they really joined the war for the sake of an assassin.

Fight is fought, but so many countries of the Entente countries are still unable to prevent the German army, let the German army enter the territory of France, the entire east and north of France are about to be smashed, the high-level French are thinking I don't know, but the French at the bottom are about to burst in their hearts.

"We're lucky enough to be assigned here to guard the field hospital, not like everyone else."

"It's only a week. After a week, we'll be reverted back to the original sequence, and we'll still have to wade through the mud and eat bullets. ”

As the two were talking, the sound of a car came from a distance, and they looked at each other, immediately threw their cigarette butts on the ground and stepped on them, then picked up their rifles and walked out of the sentry post.

There was no shortage of cars, but at the front was a Renault 60CV, a truck that was used to transport troops and cargo, and was sometimes used to haul artillery. Behind are several AG1 trucks also produced by Renault, and several Chatillon trucks produced by Panhard.

The AG1 is a relatively small truck, in fact, its rear compartment has a wall type, and the loading space is too small, and it is already the limit to fit three or four people, so it is generally used as an officer's car.

The rear compartment of the Chadilon model truck is relatively large, and the most important thing is that its horsepower is relatively strong, so it is the type of vehicle that the French army likes, just because there are really not many vehicles that can load a class and pull artillery at the same time in this era.

Claude. Rousseau first shouted in French, "Stop! Later, he changed to English and yelled again, complaining in his heart that his allies were all English-speaking goods, and those goods had fought wars with France for hundreds of years.

The convoy replied, "What kind of chicken are you shouting~ What the hell, we are a supply convoy from the division headquarters." Listening to the accent is not the tone of the British Isles, it seems to be a Canadian who is a member of the Commonwealth of America.

Claude. Rousseau listened very carefully, and he immediately scolded back: "A bunch of bastards left by criminals! ”

There seems nothing wrong with that, as if there was nothing wrong with that, and many of the members of the Commonwealth were either colonies like India or a wilderness that had been used to exile criminals.

The truck stopped, and a man stepped out of the passenger seat, and he spoke in an angry voice: "Frenchman, there's a second lieutenant standing in front of you!" ”

"Second Lieutenant, you guys are the ones who burst the foul language first!" Claude. Rousseau was not frightened at all, France and Britain had been fighting each other for so many years, how could some subordinate countries of the British Commonwealth be afraid.

In fact, people living in Europe generally do not look up to the former colonies so much, and generally think that the offspring of criminals are not worthy of respect. Rousseau was not alone.

The Canadian lieutenant suddenly laughed, as if he didn't mind the two gangs scolding each other just now, he handed out a notebook, and said, "Check, and then let go." ”

Soft Claude for Canadians. Rousseau was a little smug and he looked at Victor. Rodin greeted something, and after a while Victor. Rodin and another French second lieutenant appeared, along with several French soldiers.

"Ensign." The French second lieutenant was a bit polite, he checked the soldier's card and pass more carefully, and waved the rest of the soldiers to check the convoy during the inspection. He closed the notebook and asked, "Didn't anything happen on the road?" ”

The Canadian lieutenant shook his head: "What else can happen, isn't it just bad road conditions, and the Germans intermittently hitting the shells on the traffic road?" ”

The French second lieutenant frowned and replied: "Yes, the Germans don't know what's wrong, no matter whether anyone has been shooting at the road in the near future." He handed over the notebook in his hand and asked, "Why did you come all night?" ”
