In the common perception of all countries in the world, after a country's warships visit another country, people will regard these warships as a symbol of the country's sovereignty and territory.

Zheng Chenggong, a sailor in a white dress grabbed the heavy cable and threw it hard, and the cable fell in a beautiful arc in front of the German sailors who had been waiting on the dock for a long time. The German sailor standing on the dock smiled and gave a thumbs up to the front: "Don't look at this little throw, this contains university questions, and a sailor who throws a cable will never be able to do it so neatly without long-term and hard training."

The port of Le Havre is the second largest port in France and the entry and exit of the industrial region in the middle and lower reaches of the Seine. The port is an ideal transit port for goods between France and North and South America, and is an ideal transit port for Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Scotland, saving three or four days compared to Nordic ports and connecting with the whole of France and Western Europe.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this port is one of the most important ports in Europe, such a large port will naturally not lack porters and merchants, according to statistics, there are tens of thousands of port porters here all year round to make a living, they have French, British, Belgians, and nearly 2,000 Chinese laborers, although the number of Chinese laborers is quite a lot, but in general it is a vulnerable group, not only the French who are also porters look down on them, but even the British, Belgians and all the Caucasian people can bully them at will. But today, all the Caucasians were silent, and they saw that all the Chinese here had passed on the new clothes they had only been willing to wear at the New Year, and with their treasured gongs and drums, and with the flags of their countries, they flocked to the docks to meet their own fleet. The white people on the dock watched these elated Chinese people silently get out of the way, not that they suddenly became good people, but they saw the huge warships and the huge cannon ports outside the harbor.

"Brothers, you must remember that the fleet is the land, and you must receive our compatriots well, understand?" This is, Zhenyuan, the captain of the battleship, Colonel Hou Heng, shouting loudly.

When "Zhenyuan, the ship slowly approached the dock, the Chinese laborers who had been waiting at the dock for a long time rushed up, and most of them rushed up, Zhenyuan, because in their eyes, this largest warship with the largest gun barrel must be the most powerful.

"Fellow countrymen, compatriots, don't crowd up slowly, the warship is very wide, and everyone will definitely be able to come up." "Zhenyuan, on the ship, dozens of officers and soldiers who maintain order are busy sweating profusely.

Looking at the mighty warship and the huge gun muzzle, many of those who boarded the ship shed tears. A white-haired old man trembled onto the warship with the support of a middle-aged man beside him, and then suddenly knelt on the deck of the warship and cried, trembling with his calloused hands stroking the deck and turret that had been polished by the sailors, and kept shouting, "Zhenyuan, is this the new Zhenyuan of Lou Men Country?" ”

The man beside him said with red eyes on the side: "Dad, this is the newly built Zhenyuan in our country." ”

A few muddy tears flowed from the old man's thin and sunken old eyes, and his hoarse voice seemed to shout out with all his strength: "Okay, good, Lord Ding, Yang Guandao, Ma Jifen, you can look at it, our Huaxia Navy has rebuilt the Zhenyuan again!" We can do it again with Little Dayben! Lord Jiao Shichang, have you seen it? We have a successor to the Beiyang Naval Division! ”

Seeing the old man kneeling on the deck and crying silently, the sailor on the side hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, "Old man, get up quickly, if you have anything to say." ”

The old man was still crying and speechless after being helped up, and saw more and more officers and sailors coming over, and the man next to him hurriedly explained: "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm really sorry, my father was originally in the Beiyang Naval Division, Zhenyuan, serving on the ship, and the Qing Dynasty Guangxu was twenty-one years old" Zhenyuan, the ship was captured by the Japanese himself in Weihaiwei, my father escaped, because he fled to France to avoid the search of the Japanese soldiers, and never went back. ”

At this time, Heng came over and asked what was going on, and the sailors on the ship told him what happened, Hou Heng helped the old man with both hands after hearing this, and said emotionally: "Old man, I am the captain of this warship, don't worry, the day himself has let us run away, you don't have to be afraid of the day himself to arrest you." ”

"Okay, good, it's useful, what does this lord do on the ship." The old man's hearing was obviously not very good, and he turned his head and asked his son tremblingly.

"Dad, this lord is the supreme commander of this Zhenyuan ship, that is, Lord Hou Henghou, the pipe leader of this ironclad ship!" The child on the side hurriedly explained loudly in the old man's ear.

"What? Pipe! The old man hurriedly patted his sleeve at Hou Heng and knelt down on one knee and said, "Beiyang Naval Division, Zhenyuan, and Lin Weifan, the second deputy of naval artillery, have seen Lord Guanband. ”

"Eh, old man, I can't help it, the Rans are now the Republic of China, and we don't want to be like the Manchu Qing Dynasty." Hou Heng hurriedly helped the old man up.

After the old man Lin Weifan finished speaking, he took out a red cloth package from his arms with difficulty, he solemnly opened it and took out a yellow dragon flag, and said to Hou Heng with difficulty: "Lord Hou, I know that the Qing Dynasty is gone now, but this flag is the only thing that all the brothers of our Zhenyuan ship miss, Lord Yang Yongshuang Yang handed over this flag to me before he died in battle, let me take good care of him, and I must let the imperial court rebuild Beiyang, and now we have a new one, Zhenyuan, number, I will hand over this flag to you, and this is also the only thing that Lin Guan belt, Yang Guanband and the brothers who died fighting for the country have made their wishes. ”

Hou Heng solemnly took the Yellow Dragon Banner with both hands, "Old man, don't worry, we will definitely keep it well, and we will never disappoint the wishes of our predecessors." ”

"Okay, then I'll rest assured, you guys have to fight for our Huaxia well, and you want to ............" Lin Weifan's old man's voice became lower and lower, and finally he lost his voice.

A long cry of "Daddy" alarmed everyone on board. When the military doctor on the ship arrived, he found that the old man Lin Weifan had gone quietly with a smile on his face, his body was actually full of various diseases, and the reason why he still held on was to take another look at the Chinese Navy's own warship, and now that his wish was fulfilled, he also wanted to find his old boss and brother to go to ......, when this matter reached the ears of Su Tong who was far away in Nanjing, Su Tong immediately ordered to cremate the old man's bones and bring them back to Liugong Island to be buried with the dead Beiyang sailors.

The Paris Police Building is located on the north bank of the Seine River, which is also one of the more prosperous areas of the city.

It is a beautiful and neat four-storey building with a huge black sè brick roof full of skylights, and the façade is decorated with Romanesque stone columns, which looks quite Renaissance style.

Although the huā granite walls painted with earthy yellow sè paint have become a little gray and dull with the passage of time, the solemn and murderous atmosphere that characterizes all the major police bureaus in the world has not been diminished by this, especially since the huge carved yellow pine gate is still full of sandbags and barbed wire barricades.

Billy, Lieutenant General Henriddle, was now standing with his hands behind his back in front of the huge window of the richly decorated director's office on the fourth floor, looking out at the view of one of the best rooms in the entire building, from which he could see the spire of the Notre Dame Cathedral tower in the distance.

But if you want to go a little further, you'll have to go up to the attic, and of course the proud Lieutenant General Billy won't depreciate himself to go to such a dirty and cramped place just to see some boring scenery.

Lieutenant General Billy is probably the most idle inspector in the world, and since the German occupation of Paris, all the work has been taken over by the Germans, and Lieutenant General Billy's daily work is to sit in his office and read a book or go to the bar for a drink after work.

Outside, the gray flock of pigeons circled the same line around the dark roofs of several nearby buildings like clockwork hands, and I wonder why they didn't get tired of it.

The large and small skylight panes on the roof of the building shimmered in the sunlight, like a handful of diamonds on a black carpet.

A few children were playing a game of chase on the rooftop of a nearby apartment building, "and they were laughing and screaming, and they could be heard even here."

"Is this the end of France, the French Republic that once threatened Europe?" Looking at the scene outside, Lieutenant General Billy's heart was really sad.

"General, Your Excellency!" A panting French police inspector knocked on Lieutenant General Billy's office.

"The Germans told all the police inspectors to rush to the city to maintain order!"

Lieutenant General Si asked suspiciously, "Maintain order?" Could it be that some big guy is coming? ”

"I don't know." The pimple-riddled young police detective's face was also full of puzzlement, "This is an order personally given by Admiral Fedor von Bock. ”

"Alright! Since it is the supreme order of the German occupation forces, then we must cooperate with them. Lieutenant General Billy took up his baton, the most deterrent weapon issued to the French after the Germans occupied Paris. @。
