Half a year ago, Qin Zhiyuan, Bastian and Bruno founded "LLL", and all three of them were colonels at that time, which was well deserved.

I remember that at that time, Qin Zhiyuan was joking, maybe "LLL" should be changed to "GGG", at that time, the three of them just laughed and passed, but they didn't expect that only half a year later, the three colonels really became three generals.

War is really a good opportunity for military advancement.

The business of the "LLL" company is now on track, and the assets under the name of Qin Zhiyuan are increasing every month, especially after Gaspard took care of Qin Zhiyuan's finances, the increase is getting bigger and bigger.

Gaspard promised that as long as he helped Qin Zhiyuan take care of his finances, Qin Zhiyuan's assets would increase at a rate of 30% per year. Now it seems that Gaspard still has a discount, since Gaspard took care of Qin Zhiyuan's finances, Qin Zhiyuan's assets are accumulating rapidly at a rate of fifty percent, and the time unit is months, not years.

In other words, Qin Zhiyuan's money will increase by 50% every month.

This is still under the premise that Qin Zhiyuan mobilized a large amount of funds to invest in the construction of Corsica.

At the same time as Qin Zhiyuan's assets increased, Bastian and Bruno's assets also increased, because of the different businesses they belonged to, Bastian and Bruno's growth rate was not as fast as Qin Zhiyuan's, but it was enough to satisfy Bastian and Bruno, as evidenced by the fact that they could become generals in such a short period of time.

Who says Westerners are more incorruptible?

The phrase "wealth moves people's hearts" is common in both the East and the West!

With this relationship as a foundation, Qin Zhiyuan and Foch came directly to the conference room in the barracks of the 32nd Division.

And in front of dozens of French journalists, just two people.

This is a real heroism complex!

Let's rewind the clock and take a look.

Paris was in turmoil since rumors of the front reached Paris, and almost all newspapers sent reporters to the French headquarters in order to keep up to date with the latest developments.

Foch also needed to make his voice heard, so he took these reporters directly to the 32nd Division.

Hehe, choosing a division that has a close relationship with Qin Zhiyuan to do publicity, Foch's team is not so honest as it seems.

Early in the morning, when the convoy painted with blue-gray paint arrived in front of the barracks of the 32nd Division, people were gathering in front of the barracks.

"Hey, we've got in touch with Mr. Meghale, and you only need to make a phone call today to interview Mr. Bastian." A reporter with a camera device was talking to the sentry at the door.

"I'm sorry, during the war, refuse to be interviewed, you can go find a phone yourself and ask Mr. Meg Hale to come out and pick you up." The tone of the sentinel was hard, and there was no room for accommodation.

Meghale is Bastian's attendant, which is equivalent to Bastian's secretary, just like Pierre and Gao Hongshi are to Qin Zhiyuan.

"Don't be so unreasonable, just a phone call, if Mr. Meghale doesn't agree, we'll leave on our own, but if Mr. Bastian's interview is delayed because of a phone call, it's going to be a big mess, you know, we've got the headlines for tomorrow." Journalists do not give up.

Normally, at this time, the sentry will make this call, whether to see or not to see, it is up to the superior to decide.

But today's situation is different, and the reporter is allowed to speak with a lotus flower, and the sentinel is a hard sentence: "No!" ”

"Can't I go in too?" Foch could not tolerate wasting time, he was 66 years old and every second was precious.

"Hats off, Mr. Commander-in-Chief." The sentinels stood up and saluted.

Just yesterday morning, a telegram had been sent to the whole army about Foch's appointment, and all the newspapers had published supplements on the matter, and Foch was described as "the man who had the power to pull France back from the brink."

"Hello, Sergeant, hard work." Even in the face of a soldier, Foch would return the favor.

The simple sentence "hard work" suddenly made the soldier's eyes red, the soldier's lips squirmed, but he couldn't speak, and his eyes looked at Foch with fanatical worship.

There is no doubt that Foch is the one who is expected to be.

"Please inform General Bastian." Foch is concise.

"Yes, Mr. Commander-in-Chief." The soldier was excited.

Leaning slightly, the soldier ran out, his face flushed with a hint of shame: "Mr. Commander-in-Chief, there will be a car to pick you up soon, General Bastian will come here." ”

"Pick me up? Can't any of my guards enter the barracks? Foch was expressionless.

"Mr. Commander-in-Chief, I beg your pardon." The soldier had nothing to say, and the tossing and turning was an apology.

Soon, Bastian arrived at the camp gate, and Foch threw the same question to Bastian.

"Your Excellency, I beg your pardon, for the time being, the 32nd Division cannot trust anyone. Since five days ago, the camp gate has been closed, and the crossbar has never been raised. Bastian insisted.

After the outbreak of the mutiny, there was a state of distrust within the French army, not only the distrust of the General Headquarters and the lords of Paris, but also between the troops. The present period was the most dangerous period for the French army, and all the troops did not dare to leave the garrison at will, for fear of causing misunderstanding among friendly troops.

"Okay, so can I go in?" Foch didn't insist.

"Of course, Your Excellency, you have the right to do anything at any time." Bastian was respectful.

"It doesn't include commanding you, does it?" Foch spoke sarcastically.

"......" Bastian didn't answer, and his face was flushed.

"So, can I accompany me? It's just me. Qin Zhiyuan, who had been by Foch's side, interjected.

"I'm sorry, only Mr. Commander-in-Chief can enter." Basti installation is modeled.

"What are you worried about? General Bastian, can the two of us make you fearful? Qin Zhiyuan is welcome.

"It's not fear, it's just for safety. The soldiers don't trust anyone now, especially your Foreign Legion, and if your troops enter the camp, there is a risk of causing unnecessary misunderstandings. Bastian explained.

This explanation makes sense, but in fact, the current public opinion is very unfavorable to the Foreign Legion. Because of the Afrika Korps, there have been proposals in the Estates-General to disband the Foreign Legion and expel all the Foreign Legions, including the Chinese Legion, although some newspapers are saying good things about the Chinese Legion, such as Clemenceau's "The Prison Man", but the general public opinion environment is not favorable to the Chinese Legion.

It was also in this context that Qin Zhiyuan's trip to the 32nd Division was held.

"The Foreign Legion also shed blood for France, and on the first day of the campaign my troops suffered nearly 10,000 casualties, the heaviest casualties of all the troops involved in the offensive, but at the same time the most advanced. Doesn't that prove the value of the Foreign Legion? Qin Zhiyuan was indignant.

This sentence was said by Qin Zhiyuan to the reporters present, and it was also the biggest purpose of Qin Zhiyuan's trip.
