Chapter 25: The front of the car
"Major, judging by the style of the military merit medal, this is the 17th Infantry Division of the German Army. There were three generals in the body, although the identities have yet to be verified, but it is certain that these people are all high-ranking generals. But now they are...... Belch...... Qin's achievements, I don't know how to define Qin's people, but it is clear that their combat capabilities are beyond ordinary troops...... Far beyond, Qin should be praised. After cleaning up the battlefield, David reported to the major, and there was no shortage of praise in his words.
Since the corpse bears the gold King Wende Champion Cross, the German 17th Infantry Division is traditionally a unit from the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. Just 45 years ago, Germany had just completed its unification and established the German Empire, but within the German Empire's army, the imprint of the former principality was still retained, as was the case with the 17th Infantry Division.
"Of course, I will report their deeds, as for what kind of reward they should receive, this should be decided by Mr. Raymond, we do not have this right." The major looked at the three gold King Wende Champion Medal Crosses in his hand and felt regretful, if this was captured by his troops, he himself could be promoted to lieutenant colonel or colonel by virtue of this military merit, and if he was lucky, it was not uncommon to be promoted to general.
Unfortunately, not.
During the First World War, many generals in France rose to prominence at an astonishing rate. For example, Robert Neville, who rose to prominence in the Battle of the Marne, was only a colonel before the war, and after the Battle of the Marne, he had been promoted to general. Another example is Ferdinand Faux, who was only the commander of the Twentieth Army before the war, and a year after the start of the war, he was promoted to commander-in-chief of Army Group North, and then in May 1917, he became chief of the General Staff of the French Army. Another example is Henri Philips Pétain, who was also a colonel before the war, was promoted to major general that year after the war, served as commander of the Second Army in the second year, and became the "victor of Verdun" in the third year, known as the "savior of France".
As long as you have the ability, courage, and a little luck, it is not difficult to become a "hero" in the limelight within a year or two.
Compared with Qin Zhiyuan, the major has a foundation and qualifications, but he has no ability and luck, if you look at the potential, the major can't catch up with Qin Zhiyuan.
Therefore, for a moment, the major wanted to take Qin Zhiyuan's military exploits for himself, but just for a moment, the major suppressed this thought. With Qin Zhiyuan's ability, even if he is thrown to Verdun, which is known as the "meat grinder", Qin Zhiyuan will be able to get ahead, and at that time, how should he deal with himself?
The major thought for a moment, then came to Qin Zhiyuan's side and solemnly introduced himself: "Qin, you amaze me, it's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Bastian Berjamin Garcia, I salute you." ”
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Bastian, and your demeanor is admirable." Qin Zhiyuan got up and wiped his hands, and then shook hands with Bastian.
"I will make a detailed report on your own achievements and those of your children. Rest assured, France will not forget anyone who shed her blood and died. Bastian's expression was sincere, out of the interests of the country, he would not erase Qin Zhiyuan's credit.
"I am grateful, Mr. Bastian. As allies, I am very pleased that we are able to help in any way we can. If possible, hopefully we can still fight side by side. Qin Zhiyuan has not forgotten his identity, he is now just a laborer, a laborer from the Far East who signed a labor contract with the French, and before his identity has not changed, Qin Zhiyuan must abide by his duty.
At the very least, it looks like it's doing its job.
"There will come a time, you might as well go to Bruno Abel García of the headquarters, and say that he is a friend of Bastien, and he will give you some help." As a major, Bastien also had his own way within the French army.
"Of course, I think I'll go to that Mr. Bruno and hope for a happy outcome." Qin Zhiyuan nodded in agreement, and secretly wrote down the name "Bruno" in his heart.
French names, the first section is the name, the last section is the surname, the middle may be the Christian name or the name taken by the elders, in short, the long can reach four or five sections, and the short ones have at least three sections. Bastian and Bruno have the same surname, and maybe the two are related.
"It must be so, if you have the ability, you should show it." The major did not hesitate to praise, and it seemed that he admired Qin Zhiyuan's ability very much.
"Thank you!" Qin Zhiyuan is in a good mood, no matter what the future holds, so far, the performance of the workers is very good.
Seeing that the war was over, Qin Zhiyuan, Bastian and David said goodbye, as a laborer, Qin Zhiyuan still had his own tasks unfinished. Although Bastian and David did not kill the three German generals with their own hands, they also had a certain credit for their involvement. So after a few people exchanged pleasantries, Qin Zhiyuan led the laborers of the combat group to leave the tunnel and turn back to the rear.
Of course, before leaving, Qin Zhiyuan didn't forget to ask Hu Tingfeng to bring all the backpacks he had hidden.
……
After a hard battle, many positions on the surface were damaged, and the air was filled with the smell of blood and gunsmoke, reminding people every moment that this was a battlefield and a killing field.
Qin Zhiyuan and the others searched for the bodies of their companions as they walked, and the eight missing companions could not be found, only six mutilated corpses were found, and the remaining two were not found, not even the fragments of the corpses, it was estimated that they were blown into pieces by the fierce artillery fire, and they were nowhere to be found.
The labor team was shrouded in gloom, and several laborers, with tears in their eyes, were overwhelmed with grief, and they were familiar with several of the dead men. Most of the workers were at a loss, not knowing where to go.
"Brethren, this is the battlefield, this is Europe, this is the reality we have to face." Qin Zhiyuan found a stone, and then jumped up to cheer everyone up: "We have to survive here for five years, if everyone doesn't hold together and don't work together, today's events will continue to repeat themselves, and we will continue to reduce our personnel until our entire army is wiped out." ”
"Qin Ye, what do you say? What are we going to do? We'll all listen to you! "There are workers who are leading the response.
"Yes, listen to Qin Ye!"
"Master Qin, you give a charter!"
"Master Qin, say it, as long as I can take everyone through the past five years, I will sell you this life."
The laborers who had just arrived in a foreign land felt the cruelty of the war on the third day, and they needed a leader who could take them through the five years.
"Okay, since the brothers can trust me Qin Zhiyuan, I, Qin Zhiyuan, swear here, if I do anything to be sorry for my brothers, let me thunder and thunder, and I will never be able to live forever." Qin Zhiyuan is also fighting, and at this moment, he has to come forward.
"Good!"
"Good man!"
"Righteousness!"
The laborers gave a thumbs up and praised that they needed a core in a foreign land.
What is the saying?
The train runs fast because of the headband.
