Chapter 208: Engagement

"It's really a little bit late, Qin Ye, don't you know, as soon as we left the factory gate, the people from the Ministry of War arrived, and if we were one step later, all these tanks would be rationed to the Americans." Chen Kangjian is half afraid and half is a show of merit.

The War Department is different from the War Department, which is only accountable to the Prime Minister, and now the War Secretary is Leotey. The Ministry of War is accountable to Parliament, and the Minister of War is the Prime Minister himself.

The relationship between Leothai and Qin Zhiyuan is not to be said, it is precisely because of Leotei's insistence that Qin Zhiyuan will lead the First Brigade from Corsica back to Paris, in this sense, the First Brigade is the only unit loyal to Leothai in the Paris area.

At least that's what Leotey thought.

The relationship between Qin Zhiyuan and the new Prime Minister Paul Pan Lewei is not good, Qin Zhiyuan has a close relationship with Clemenceau, and Clemenceau and Paul Pan Lewei are political enemies, so Qin Zhiyuan will definitely not summon Paul Pan Lewei to meet him.

Yes, Qin Zhiyuan has been prepared for a long time, Qin Zhiyuan is not a public lover, and it is impossible to please everyone.

"Then from tomorrow onwards, immediately familiarize yourself with the equipment, and I would like to invite Foch and Leoté and Clemenceau to visit our armored forces in the next few days. Only if we can show strong combat effectiveness, they will not think that giving us these tanks is a pearl. "Qin Zhiyuan has a plan.

Regarding how to use armored troops, Qin Zhiyuan didn't want to hide too much, fighting this kind of thing also depends on understanding, not that if the equipment is superior, it will definitely be victorious. Only by letting Clemenceau think that by handing over the tank as a weapon to the First Brigade can the tank play its maximum role, and Qin Zhiyuan will be able to get more equipment in the future.

"Don't worry, Master Qin, we have already practiced when we were in Corsica, and we guarantee that there will be no problems." Chen Kangjian packed the ticket.

Qin Zhiyuan nodded with satisfaction, so Chen Kangjian retired with great vision.

Since Qin Zhiyuan returned to the Black Swan Castle, Julie has sneaked over, and Qin Zhiyuan has been tired of it for a day and a night, even if Qin Zhiyuan and Chen Kangjian are talking about work, Julie is not willing to leave Qin Zhiyuan too far, just moved a chair and sat on the balcony, looking at Qin Zhiyuan from a distance.

I really like it, I can't get enough of it.

Foch became chief of the French army's general staff and had already gone to the War Department to work with Leotai, and Foch had no time to take care of Julie anymore. Pierre became Qin Zhiyuan's personal knight and turned a blind eye to Julie now.

In fact, Foch and Leotey were now incapable of playing any role, and Nivelle was completely unable to listen to the advice of others, not even the advice of his chief of staff and commander of the mobile forces, General Alfred Michel.

General Alfred also believed that Nivelle's plan could not succeed, and he chose a more drastic way to respond to Nivelle's request, refusing to carry out Nivelle's orders. As a result, Alfred was relieved of his post as chief of staff by Niveler, and was then assigned to the front to command an army group to attack Sherman Dedam.

If a general offends a campaign commander, then the campaign commander has countless ways to let the general die, and they are all above board, which is why Qin Zhiyuan tried his best to avoid serving under Nivelle.

If Qin Zhiyuan really went to Niveler's headquarters, maybe Niweiler would really throw Qin Zhiyuan a rifle, and then let Qin Zhiyuan attack Berlin.

Therefore, since the relationship has deteriorated to this point, Qin Zhiyuan's invitation list does not have Nivelle's name on it, although in fact Nivelle is the most suitable person to be invited.

"Don't worry, Dad won't embarrass you." Seeing Chen Kangjian go out, Julie came to Qin Zhiyuan's side to give him reassurance.

"I know Ferdinand was a good man." Qin Zhiyuan smiled and shook Julie's slender hand, meeting Julie's deep and ocean-like gaze.

"Qin ......" Julie's teeth gritted and bitten, still ashamed.

"What's wrong?" Qin Zhiyuan was curious.

"Anne told you to go back to dinner at noon." Julie's words changed when she got to her lips.

"Okay, let's go back together later, do you need to bring something? What about Ferdinand? Will he go back? Qin Zhiyuan asked.

"Maybe go back, or maybe not go back. But someone should be careful, Anne has said several times, as long as someone dares to go home, a stinking meal is light. Julie raised her voice as she looked at Pierre, who was hiding far away.

"I'm not afraid!" Pierre responded from afar, his voice sounding a little weak.

"I hope you'll be home in a while, and your mouth will still be so hard." Julie has sharp teeth.

"I'm busy, I have something to do at noon, so I won't go back with you." As a side-rider, Pierre often behaved substandardly.

"Then you'd better hope you can hide for the rest of your life." Julie took advantage of the victory to chase after her.

"You sharp-toothed little girl, be careful that you can't marry for the rest of your life." Pierre was furious.

To Qin Zhiyuan's surprise, Julie didn't reply, but looked at Qin Zhiyuan silently.

Qin Zhiyuan suddenly felt a little panicked.

This feeling of trepidation was magnified to the extreme after lunch.

Foch didn't come home, but Pierre finally came back, and just after dinner, Anne was dragged to the study by twisting her ears, and Julie helped Natalie take the children to the children's room so that Natalie could clean up the table.

Natalie didn't rush to clean up, but made a cup of tea and sat on the sofa with Qin Zhiyuan to chat a few words.

"Qin, how is your relationship with Lily now?" Natalie's expression was playful.

"It's good, Lily has a gentle personality, I like it." Qin Zhiyuan nodded and smiled.

"Like" here means "love", which is a little more enthusiastic than "favorable" and a little more rational than "love".

"So, aren't you going to give Lily a family?" Natalie's eyes looked at Qin Zhiyuan, and her right hand unconsciously stroked the ring on the ring finger of her left hand.

It is a ruby ring of brilliant color, transparency, purity and cut, with a silvery-white setting and slender fingers.

"Of course, in due course, Lily and I will start a family. You know, I love Lily as much as I love my own eyes. Qin Zhiyuan promised.

By now, Qin Zhiyuan finally understood what the fear and uneasiness in his heart were.

Qin Zhiyuan has lived for so many years, and under the influence of his parents, he is a psychological state of yearning and resistance to the family. Of course, Qin Zhiyuan likes Julie, but at the same time, Qin Zhiyuan is afraid that after forming a family with Julie, he will not be able to give Julie happiness.

"So, as a man, shouldn't you do something first, like give Lily an engagement ring or something?" Natalie turned the ring in her hand and looked at Qin Zhiyuan expectantly.

Betrothal?

This is a new stage in life.
