Chapter 206: Psychological Advantage
(This chapter is a plus, and there is another chapter at eight o'clock, this chapter is given to the brothers who voted for the monthly ticket in the past two days, especially the rampaging godfather who gave the only monthly pass to the fish head...... Really impressed! ๏ผ
From the moment he arrived in Marseille, Qin Zhiyuan deeply felt the atmosphere of the war.
Recently, Qin Zhiyuan has used planes to travel between Corsica and Paris, and has not been to Marseille for more than half a month.
When it landed again from Marseille, Marseille was as foreign to the First Brigade as it was when it first arrived in Europe in July last year.
Although it is the largest port in France, the port of Marseille is staggeringly congested, with a variety of ships lining up from the port all the way to the รle d'รle.
The 1st Brigade waited for three hours, and the team ahead was still far away.
So Qin Zhiyuan contacted the Marseille Port Management Committee, and when Qin Zhiyuan said that the ship he belonged to was transporting troops and was going to Paris to participate in the war, the steamer on which the First Brigade was traveling was finally arranged to enter the port first.
So when Qin Zhiyuan boarded the port of Marseille, seven hours had passed.
This was the result of the fact that the 1st Brigade did not carry heavy weapons.
This time the 1st Brigade carried only light weapons, and all heavy weapons remained in Corsica, including all tanks, and even the artillery of the artillery units.
In Paris, the elder Renault had completely new weapons ready and waited for the 1st Brigade to go to Paris to receive them.
Because of the containers, a new batch of gantry cranes has been added to the terminal, and the flat-top trucks produced by Renault Motors are waiting on the dock, and these cars will transport the containers to the railway station and then transport them to the final destination by rail.
Thanks to the appearance of the containers, the 1st Brigade was able to get to Paris as quickly as possible, otherwise it would not have been known how long it would have been due to the busyness of the Marseille railway station.
When I arrived in Paris, I encountered a new thing, the Paris train station was lit up, as if it was going to welcome some big person.
After asking the station staff, I learned that the first batch of US "First Divisions" to go to Europe to participate in the war would arrive in Paris in a few hours, and this welcoming ceremony was prepared for the Americans.
This made Qin Zhiyuan feel tired, the First Brigade had participated in the war for more than half a year, and no one cared about returning to Paris this time. The Americans have just arrived without accomplishing anything, but they are going to enjoy a grand welcome ceremony, which is speechless.
This speaks volumes about the importance of having a strong motherland.
When Qin Zhiyuan told Chen Kangjian beside him this sentence, Chen Kangjian nodded again and again.
Although the soldiers in the 1st Brigade already possess relatively high combat skills, in some respects, they do not necessarily possess strong combat effectiveness. The biggest problem of this force now is: "no faith".
Qin Zhiyuan's goal has always been very clear, that is, "to work hard for the rise of China".
Qin Zhiyuan hopes that this is also the belief of all soldiers, but how to make all soldiers understand the meaning of this sentence and agree with this concept, Qin Zhiyuan still has more work to do.
So starting little by little, changing the beliefs of the generals around him has become Qin Zhiyuan's tireless pursuit since the end of last year. The effect is not bad, under Qin Zhiyuan's emphasis on almost brainwashing, Chen Kangjian and the others have now accepted this concept, and they are gradually influencing the people around them.
The Paris railway station is not far or close to the Bois de Boulogne, and the elder Renault sent more than 200 trucks to help the 1st Brigade transport, which will then be delivered to the 1st Brigade, so to speak, from the first moment of arrival in Paris, the 1st Brigade began to reload.
The square in front of the station is also lit up, and the ammunition boxes and tents of the wounded soldiers that were previously piled up here for transfer have been moved, and the entire square has been restored to the cleanliness and tidiness before the war. Someone is cleaning up the garbage and dirt from the sculptures that litter the square, these things are the lifeblood of Parisians, you can skip food, you can skip sleep, but you can't live without art, this is the credo that many Parisians recognize.
Even if it is not to welcome yourself, a clean and neat welcome is enough to make people feel happy, so when the First Brigade lined up to board the train in the square in front of the station, Qin Zhiyuan was in a very good mood.
This good mood lasted until the Black Swan Castle.
Unlike ordinary soldiers, Qin Zhiyuan was in a car, so he was faster and returned to the Boulogne Forest first. When Qin Zhiyuan arrived at the Black Swan Castle, Qin Zhiyuan noticed that there were many people facing each other in front of the castle. On one side were the soldiers of the 1st Brigade guarding the castle of the Black Swan, and on the other side were French gendarmes in gendarmerie uniforms.
"I have already told you, sir, that this place belongs to the First Brigade of the Foreign Legion, and no one is allowed to enter without the permission of the Foreign Legion! If you dare to break through, you will be killed. "An officer of the 1st Brigade with the rank of lieutenant had an arrogant expression.
Parisians have a very contradictory and harmonious characteristic, from the heart, Parisians look down on all outsiders; But in terms of cultivation, Parisians will maintain that "polite" attitude in dealing with people. When these emotions are expressed in a concentrated way, Parisians can seem to be gentle and refusing at the same time.
The soldiers of the 1st Brigade had been in Paris for a long time, and it was inevitable that they would suffer from some Parisian diseases, and the officer in front of them was one of the victims. Although the lieutenant used honorifics, there was no trace of respect in his demeanor and tone, even though there was a lieutenant colonel standing in front of him.
It is indeed a lieutenant colonel, and Qin Zhiyuan still knows it, it is that Elton.
It seemed that the negotiations had been going on for some time, and Elton was well prepared, and when he heard the lieutenant say this, Elton immediately took out a prepared document: "Please see clearly, this is an official letter from the headquarters of the Algerian Foreign Legion, which asks you to cooperate with the request of the Paris City Defense Command. โ
Faced with a lieutenant whose rank was much lower than his own, Elton didn't even bother to take out his fake "aristocratic demeanor", but just pinched the official letter that had been opened with one hand and displayed it in front of the lieutenant.
"I'm sorry, I don't understand." The lieutenant didn't look at the letter that Elton had high hopes for, and his understatement could choke people to death: "Please let the Legion headquarters send someone over to give orders, or give orders directly to our generals, for it is impossible for us to transfer the defense of the Bois de Boulogne to you on the basis of such a single piece of paper." โ
"Are you going to disobey?" Elton's long-stored anger exploded.
"There is no order given to me at all, where does 'disobedience' begin?" The lieutenant was calm and relaxed, and his kung fu was good.
"Your First Brigade is rotten from top to bottom, and the military order is like a child's play for you, if you want to resist, do you still have even a little bit of honor and mission as a soldier?" Elton scolded, if it weren't for the black muzzles in the hands of the soldiers of the First Brigade around him, he really wanted to order his subordinates to break through by force.
"It's not up to you to decide whether it's rotten or not, and the honor of a soldier is not reflected in Paris, but on the battlefield. I fought on the front line for a winter last year, what qualifications do you, the boy who has been hiding in Paris, have to blame? "The lieutenant is not easy to mess with, and his French is now to the point where he can speak to people.
"Well said!" Qin Zhiyuan got out of the car, strode in front of Elton, and looked down at Elton condescendingly.
Qin Zhiyuan, who is 1.8 meters tall, stands in front of Elton, who is 1.7 meters tall, and really has a psychological advantage.
