At the end of May, a French army stationed near Fort Milon arrived in Fair-on-Tadenoy, and the 1st and 32nd Divisions immediately handed over the defense to the newly arrived French division.

Because of the crushing defeat of Crown Prince Wilhelm, the Germans temporarily lost their offensive ability in this area, and the 1st and 32nd Divisions could safely return to the vicinity of Paris to rest.

They were not stationed together, the 1st Division was still in the Bois de Boulogne, and the 32nd Division was in Torigny-sur-Marne, east of Paris.

Knowing that the 1st and 32nd Divisions were finally returning to Paris, the City of Paris prepared a grand welcoming ceremony, and the citizens of Paris spontaneously poured into the streets to welcome the two heroic units.

That's right, the Heroic Army, which is the "honorary title" awarded by the French government and opposition to these two units, because they won France the most important victory since entering the world war.

Qin Zhiyuan did not participate in such an occasion, and Pierre was ordered to attend the welcoming ceremony on behalf of the First Division, and accompanied Pierre to receive the cheers of the citizens of Paris as well as the armored troops of the First Division.

This would have made it seem more harmonious, and at least the representatives of both forces would have been French, which would have made it more acceptable to the citizens of Paris.

Tank units were to participate anyway, and since the Battle of Tadenoy, all the generals have fully realized the role of tank troops, and this new weapon, which was reluctant to be accepted a month ago, has become a hot and sought-after commodity. It is said that Leothai's office is now crowded with officers of various units who are asking for tanks.

There are definitely tanks, and these military commanders will definitely get their wish, but their supply priority will be in the back row, and the most important thing at the moment is to restore the tank units of the first division to combat effectiveness.

In Qin Zhiyuan's post-war report, the tank units of the 1st Division lost more than half of them in the battle, and if they could not be replenished in time, then they would lose most of their combat effectiveness.

This is absolutely not possible, and Leotey is counting on this unit to perform another meritorious service, so with a stroke of the pen, he gave priority to replenishing the tank unit of the 1st Division with 150 vehicles, as well as the 40 self-propelled guns that performed well in the defense of Feron Tadenoy.

This batch of tanks and self-propelled guns has been equipped with new engines, which are faster and have a longer endurance. The caliber of self-propelled guns was also changed to 155 mm, and the power of 155 mm caliber guns was not much less than 194 mm, but the hit rate was much more accurate.

As for the firing range, the 194-mm gun's range of up to 10 kilometers is not necessarily of much use, after all, this is a self-propelled gun, and the most important thing is to be flexible in hit-and-go, reduce weight and increase mobility.

These weapons have now arrived at the camp of the First Division in the Bois de Boulogne and have been handed over to the garrison of the First Division.

Returning to Bois de Boulogne with Qin Zhiyuan was Crown Prince William.

As crown prince, William could refuse to participate in any event he did not want to attend, something that the French could not force. But Fritz Rosenberg and Count von Schulenberg were not so lucky, and they had to go to the Paris City Hall to serve as a backdrop, once again as a prop for the French to show off their military exploits.

"Qin, I heard that your orphanage is here, can I go and have a look?" In the Mercedes-Benz car, Crown Prince William made a request to Qin Zhiyuan.

The car, which was originally the car of Crown Prince William, was captured by the 1st Division at Tadenoy, and then became one of Qin Zhiyuan's collections, which Qin Zhiyuan planned to keep in the Black Swan Castle as part of his current huge collection.

Qin Zhiyuan has collected many artifacts lost from the Qing Dynasty, most of which were sent back to the Republic of China by Hu Weide, and only a small part of the museum is now decorating the façade.

There are more Western cultural relics on display in the museum, and Qin Zhiyuan's attitude towards cultural relics has always been that cultural relics are only cultural relics in the place of origin, and the local culture that is separated from it can only be regarded as handicrafts and has no value. Therefore, the car of Crown Prince Wilhelm will also be displayed as an exhibit in the museum in the Bois de Boulogne.

Of course, Qin Zhiyuan also gave back a Renault car to Crown Prince William, and he could do whatever Crown Prince William did, so that Qin Zhiyuan could take out the car and make money from those visitors openly.

Qin Zhiyuan's museum is a private museum, and there is no such thing as a free museum. Of course, the entrance fee is not expensive, only one franc per person, and it is free for children.

"Absolutely, if you will. There are two orphanages, six in Paris and seventeen in France, which mainly take children under the age of 10, and when they complete their treatment and epidemic prevention programs here, they are sent to Corsica, where they are systematically educated. Qin Zhiyuan stepped out.

"Corsica? I heard it was hell there. "Crown Prince William hearsay.

As a general on the side of the Entente, Qin Zhiyuan's reputation in Germany is now mixed, on the one hand, it adopted a large number of orphans, took on the things forgotten by the government, and showed his fraternity and benevolence; On the other hand, when facing the rebellious Corsicans, Qin Zhiyuan could also raise the butcher's knife without hesitation, killing people with their heads rolling, fully demonstrating his ferocity and bloodthirstiness.

Perhaps only such a contradiction is a living person. In Germany, there are many people who have the same idea as Crown Prince Wilhelm and want to chat with Qin Zhiyuan.

"It's not hell, I suggest you go and see when the time is right, those children will live better there, at least there is no discrimination, no harm there." Qin Zhiyuan didn't mind that Crown Prince William appeared in front of those German orphans.

Although Crown Prince Wilhelm was the next emperor candidate of the Germans, he did not show up when these children needed him the most, and it was Qin Zhiyuan who saved these children when they needed help the most, and I believe that every child who knows gratitude will not betray Qin Zhiyuan.

is like the name between Qin Zhiyuan and the children, Qin Zhiyuan and them are like father and son.

"Even if I am the crown prince and I am also a prisoner of war, I'm afraid Raymond won't let me go." Crown Prince William was a little disappointed.

Limited by status, the French can give Crown Prince William the greatest freedom, but this does not mean that Prince William can do as he pleases. Crown Prince William's sphere of activity must be within the control of the French, even in Qin Zhiyuan's case.

Although Qin Zhiyuan is a serious general of the French Foreign Legion, and the Foreign Legion is also loyal to the French government, the control of the First Division is not necessarily the control of the French government, and although Crown Prince William has a high degree of freedom, he may not be able to leave the French mainland.

"So what does it matter? Corsica is now also French territory, and it is not against the rules that you go there. "Qin Zhiyuan is casual.

"Really? Not necessarily, I'm afraid Crown Prince William smiled with ulterior motives.

Not necessarily?

Interesting!
