About a month ago, that is, after Huang Li and them boarded the ship, a wave of "doxxing" against the Foreign Legion in the Republic of China was launched.

First, the newspapers counted the achievements of the Foreign Legion in Europe, focusing on how popular and valued the Foreign Legion was in France.

One of the most direct manifestations of this is that Ferdinand Foch, the commander-in-chief of the Entente powers, even married his daughters to Qin Zhiyuan.

At this time, public opinion could not see the direction, and successfully stimulated the interest of the Chinese people in the Foreign Legion, and felt honored because of the achievements of the Foreign Legion.

But then things started to go in a bad direction.

Some people disclosed in the newspaper that the Foreign Legion, including the commander of the legion, Qin Zhiyuan, had collectively joined the French nationality, and they were no longer from the Republic of China, but standard French, so they would be valued by the Entente.

Naturally, there were also people who defended the Foreign Legion, and then a big debate was sparked.

At that time, the president of the Republic of China had not yet been elected, and everyone did not realize what kind of damage this debate had to the image of the Foreign Legion.

Perhaps some people are aware of it, but for some reason, no one has pointed it out or stopped it, so that this trend has intensified.

About half a month ago, a domestic newspaper broke the earth-shattering news that all the families of the senior generals of the Foreign Legion had emigrated overseas, they had a huge base in Corsica, and at the same time they had conquered Lan Fang by brutal means, slaughtering at least 10 million locals there!

10 million, many people have no concept of this number, so someone immediately "popularized science": according to the statistics of the Beiyang government in 1913, the population of the capital was about 730,000, so the local people massacred by the Foreign Legion in Lanfang were equivalent to nearly 14 capitals.

And this 10 million li, including the local overseas Chinese in Lanfang, they were also slaughtered indiscriminately, and now in the land of Lanfang, in addition to the families of the Foreign Legion, they are foreigners with red eyebrows and green eyes.

This is simply a subversion of the image of the Foreign Legion, and many people express disbelief.

So another "insider" jumped out and swore that he had seen an extremely serious massacre in Lanfang with his own eyes.

At this point, although the "doxxing" against the Foreign Legion has reached a climax, many people still don't want to believe it, even if there are "insiders" jumping out, they don't want to believe it.

If there was an indiscriminate massacre, how did you escape?

At the end of December, a piece of news once again grabbed the front page of all newspapers: the ocean-going freighter "Saint-Georges" from France rammed and sank a Republic of China passenger ship in the Yangtze River basin, killing 387 people.

As early as April, the "Jiang Kuan" passenger ship was rammed and sunk, killing more than 700 people, and almost causing serious clashes between the people and the military and police.

Although the passenger ship "Jiangkuan" was hit and sunk by a warship, it has nothing to do with foreign ships; Although the "St. George" was hired by the British and had nothing to do with the French, after some well-meaning analysis, the "St. George" incident and the Foreign Legion were somehow linked.

Immediately afterwards, more "shady scenes" of the Foreign Legion were exposed.

Not only the senior generals of the Foreign Legion, but also the families of ordinary soldiers of the Foreign Legion have emigrated, and they have taken a large number of young children from the Republic of China, and these young children are trafficked to every week and all over Europe, and their lives are miserable.

Many of the soldiers in the Foreign Legion have already married French women in France, and they want to mess with my blood and China.

Ordinary people in Europe have little affection for the Foreign Legion, and they grit their teeth when it comes to it, and in Algeria, North Africa, people even launched a petition demanding that the Foreign Legion withdraw from Algeria.

The Foreign Legion suffered a very high proportion of casualties in Europe, and if it won it, it slaughtered prisoners of war and did things that were "intolerable to heaven and man", and when it was defeated, it plundered and acted recklessly, and the French government could not bear to disturb it, so it expelled the Foreign Legion. The Foreign Legion is called an invincible army, but in fact it is a black sheep, and if it returns to the Republic of China, it will definitely be worse than the current warlords.

……

Before Huang Li and them landed, the various blackness of the Foreign Legion reached a climax.

The people are easily deceived, and they are not able to discern most things. Especially the Chinese, because of the serious idea of "official standard" in the tradition, the people's worship of "power" is deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and many people even choose to believe the "true and false" news without thinking.

It is the student body that believes in these newspapers, or is most likely to be deceived.

The students of the Republic of China, who have received a part of higher education, have the idea of "opening their eyes to see the world", but they do not have the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, and their extreme disappointment with the Republic of China has turned into extreme worship of foreigners, but the root cause lies in extreme inferiority.

Many students are skeptical about the achievements of the Foreign Legion, because they have a certain understanding of the objective world, but they do not have enough knowledge, so they understand how difficult it is to achieve those achievements.

If you add the instigation of some well-intentioned people, many students will inevitably have the idea of "if it were me, I could do better".

The literati are light, and they don't know much about it......

This is actually the most dangerous state.

But the students did not understand the harm of their state, so when someone with a little instigation, it led to a march of tens of thousands of people.

In the imagination of Huang Li and Wu Qing, when they arrived at Tianjin Port, they should be greeted by flowers and beautiful women.

Huang Li and Wu Qing's idea is half realized, half of them are indeed beauties, and the other half is not flowers, but rotten cabbage.

Huang Li has been at sea during this time, and he doesn't know that they have become street rats in the Republic of China. In addition, according to the habitual thinking of soldiers, there will be no danger no matter what, so Huang Li decided to see what kind of excitement it is.

In front of the port area, tens of thousands of people have gathered, not only students, but also workers, businessmen, ordinary people, and even local thugs in Tianjin, as well as some special purpose people who accept employment.

Slogans such as "The Foreign Legion Go Back to Foreign Countries," "The Republic of China is the Republic of China," and "Down with the traitorous warlord Qin Zhiyuan," they shouted earth-shattering slogans from time to time in an attempt to storm the defense line formed by the police.

Tianjin has the largest concession in the Republic of China, and because of the opposition of foreigners, the police in Tianjin are not equipped with guns. Today, in order not to exacerbate the contradictions, they did not even wear batons and command knives, and could only form a thin defensive line in vain to guard against the onslaught of the marching masses.

Near the entrance to the port area, there was also a platoon of French soldiers, who had originally come to meet the Foreign Legion under the leadership of the French ambassador to China, Pansona, but were stopped by the marchers and could not enter the port area.

The police of the Republic of China cannot be equipped with guns, but the French soldiers in the Republic of China can be equipped with guns, under the threat of bright bayonets, these French soldiers and the marchers are safe, but Pan Xunna's expression is a little complicated, his eyes looking at the marchers are mocking, and his eyes are full of worry when he looks at the port area from time to time.

In the sound of the earth-shattering slogan, Huang Li led the Foreign Legion out of the port area.

The neatly dressed Foreign Legion is magnificent, they are physically strong and full of spirit, there are no colorful military uniforms, there is no ruffian appearance in the flow, there is no slanted arm to drop the crotch when going to that station, there is no fear or anger when facing the crowd, they just look at the crowd of protesters so calmly, as if they have nothing to do with them.

This is very different from the traditional sense of the military.

The soldiers of the Foreign Legion carried rifles with bayonets on their backs, and although this was a clear violation of the regulations of foreigners in Tianjin, no one dared to stop those foreigners who had always talked about the law.

The Chinese gathered in front of the port area saw the appearance of the Foreign Legion, and they were silent for a while, they heard that the Foreign Legion had been a long time, and they were also discussing the Foreign Legion every day during this time, but when the Foreign Legion appeared in front of the people, the people were still surprised and inexplicable.

This, is this our army?

Is this still our army?!

If it weren't for the familiar Chinese faces, not the familiar black hair and black eyes, the Chinese who came to protest couldn't believe it, this was the Foreign Legion.

When they saw the situation in front of the port area, Huang Li and the others were also very shocked.

In the port area of Tianjin, almost all the buildings are Western-style buildings, and there are very few traditional Chinese cornices and arches.

Huang Li and they boarded the ship from Weihaiwei, most of them have almost never been to Tianjin, so Tianjin is strange in their eyes, if it weren't for the fact that those protesters are all familiar with black hair and black eyes, and their slogans are all square Chinese characters, Huang Li They are really unbelievable, this is the Republic of China?

Fortunately, few of Huang Li are literate, and they can't understand the meaning of those slogans, otherwise I'm afraid Huang Li will break out now.

When he was in France, Huang Li had seen the parade in France, and also seen how the French military and police dealt with it, caught what should be caught, beaten what should be beaten, even in the face of old people and women, Huang Li used to think so, but when he really faced these familiar Chinese faces, Huang Li was surprised to find that his heart was trembling, if there was really a conflict, then could he really do it?

Huang Li didn't know the answer.

"Sir, it's not right for you to come forward right now, please stay calm." The high-ranking officials of the Tianjin Port Authority are all foreigners, and when they saw the Foreign Legion come out, a foreigner quickly greeted him and said in stiff Chinese.

"Ha, even in the face of the Germans, we have never been afraid, and now that we have finally returned to our own country, should we retreat?" Huang Li retorted in fluent French.

"It's a different concept, and it's different to treat the people and the enemy." Officials also tried to persuade.

"Needless to say, I want to see and learn." Huang Li does not believe in evil.

The Foreign Legion has slaughtered all sides in Europe, and Huang Li has almost never suffered a loss, and even if they suffer a loss, they can use a greater victory to get back on the field, so it is very appropriate to use "proud soldiers" to describe the soldiers of the Foreign Legion.

The soldiers of the Foreign Legion are indeed proficient in combat, but as soldiers, they do not have enough experience in civilian affairs, and the continuous victories have made their self-confidence burst, and they are not willing to obey the command of foreigners at all.

You must know that on the European battlefield, how to fight and to what extent, the French troops must obey the command of the Foreign Legion.

Seeing that he couldn't be persuaded, the foreigner shrugged his shoulders and stepped aside to say no more.

"Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, it's been hard all the way." Pan Xun's face appeared in time with a spring breeze.

"Luckily, there's enough Bordeaux wine." Huang Li is skillful and greeting, although he still doesn't know the name of the person in front of him, but in this seemingly familiar and unfamiliar environment, he actually has a faint sense of intimacy with French.

"French dog, go back to France!" The crowd didn't know who shouted.

Huang Li and all the Foreign Legion soldiers suddenly changed their faces.

Huang Li: They really don't know many words, but they can understand Chinese.

Insulting the army?

I really don't know whether to live or die!
