After choosing the ring face, the next step is to choose the ring.

This is relatively simple, as the global fashion capital, Paris has the best jewelers in the world, and Cartier, known as the "jeweler of the emperor, the emperor of jewelers", was born here.

The rest was up to Pierre.

Pierre simply gave his name, and his surname immediately caught the attention of the receptionist. Pierre and Qin Zhiyuan were then personally received by Louis Cartier, head of Cartier Jewellery Paris and chief designer there.

Louis welcomed the arrival of Pierre and Qin Zhiyuan, and when he learned that Qin Zhiyuan was going to be engaged to Julie Foch, Louis expressed his sincere congratulations, and then personally assisted Qin Zhiyuan in choosing the style of the ring.

Although Louis provided Qin Zhiyuan with all kinds of conveniences, the money he should pay was still a lot, a full 12,000 francs, in addition to the cost of the ring, but also included the cost of further carving the gemstone ring.

Qin Zhiyuan did not object to this, just as there are few people who are worthy of Auerbach's own baptism, and few people are worthy of letting Louis Cartier make jewelry by himself. As a leader in the jewellery industry, Louis Cartier's achievements deserve respect.

As a jewellery brand that has been around for decades, Cartier Jewellery can also be trusted for its credibility. Qin Zhiyuan and Louis simply agreed on the time to pick up the ring, and then left with Pierre.

At this time, we can see the difference between Eastern and Western jewelry, Western jewelry heavy style, in order to keep up with the trend, even if it is just to make the jewelry have an extra facet, but also to re-cut. Oriental jewelry is much simpler, the same bracelet, a thousand years ago, the same way it looked, a thousand years later.

Oriental people pay more attention to inheritance.

From this point of view, oriental jewelry is more suitable for "heirlooms".

Jewelry is just an episode, or rather, during the world war, Qin Zhiyuan's marriage was just an episode, and the war was the main body.

Returning to the Black Swan Castle, Qin Zhiyuan began to prepare for the exercise the day after tomorrow.

The focus of the play is on the penetration role of the tank, as well as the coordination between the tank and the infantry.

The so-called "exercises" are first deduced and then practiced. In the first link, the role of the General Staff is fully demonstrated.

Qin Zhiyuan attaches great importance to the construction of the General Staff, and since last year he has set up a General Staff Department headed by Pierre, and most of the members of the Staff are from the French mainland, supplemented by staff officers from China.

After Qin Yunpeng and Qin Zhiyuan separated, the staff headquarters was also divided into two, and the domestic personnel led by Zhang Jingzong and Li Fayun basically went to Qin Yunpeng's troops, and there were only a dozen French left in Qin Zhiyuan's troops.

There is no way to do this, within the Beiyang government, Qin Zhiyuan's status is definitely not as good as Qin Yunpeng, who has served as the overseer of a province, and it is understandable that those staff officers choose Qin Yunpeng, who is more "rooted in red seedlings". This strengthened Qin Zhiyuan's belief that everything relied on himself, since the Beiyang government did not give Qin Zhiyuan staff officers, then Qin Zhiyuan would train it himself.

During his three months in Corsica, Qin Zhiyuan never stopped training staff officers, and after three months of hard work, the staff department once again formed a pattern of more than a dozen Frenchmen helping to lead more than 30 Chinese. These Chinese may not be qualified staff officers now, but in time, they will be Qin Zhiyuan's most powerful helpers. These self-cultivated people are their own people, and there is no need to worry about loyalty.

To conduct a successful exercise, there is a great deal of work that needs to be done by staff officers. For example, the contrast between the offensive and defensive forces should be as close as possible, and even the strength of the defender should be a little stronger, so as to highlight the attack power of the attacker, that is, the role of the tank.

The setting of the predetermined battlefield is also very important, from the moment the attacker sets off to the scheduled battlefield, it has already entered the state of exercise from the moment of departure, even if there is a tank anchoring on the road, it will not affect the progress of the act, because the tank anchoring itself is part of the war. This requires efforts to preset the battlefield, to simulate the natural environment of the battlefield as much as possible, mountains, hills, and rivers; Of course, all kinds of fortifications, barbed wire, anti-tank trenches, mines, anti-aircraft artillery, and even flamethrowers that have just been equipped with troops, all have to be taken into account in advance.

In order to simulate the battlefield more realistically, Qin Zhiyuan ordered Liu Zizheng's regiment, which had just been reorganized into the first infantry regiment, to set up defensive positions, and then the newly established Chen Kangjian armored regiment to be responsible for attacking.

Qin Zhiyuan's first concern was the defensive position.

"Master Qin, according to the command of the General Staff, we simulated the position of the Germans in Shermandamm, with barbed wire, anti-tank trenches, and even increased the density of anti-aircraft guns, as long as Lao Chen launched an attack, he would ensure that they would not come back." Liu Zizheng introduced the defensive position to Qin Zhiyuan, and his words were full of interest.

"You can't completely copy the defense of Shermandaidam, you have to be more proactive, and think carefully about how you will set up this position if you are replaced by the crown prince of Germany." Qin Zhiyuan still advocates subjective initiative.

"Don't worry, Qin Ye, we still added some materials, this position looks similar to the Germans, but in fact it is very different, if you can't understand the markers on the surface, if you dare to charge, you will die." Liu Zizheng was triumphant.

When it comes to the use of equipment and the use of terrain and features, the Chinese are the best at it. In the pre-Qin period of ancient times, when Europe was still bare-chested and fist-fighting, the Chinese had already begun to wear heavy armor and use crossbows.

"Don't be careless, as far as I know, Chen Kangjian is not unprepared, if you rely on the existing defensive means on the German position, you will definitely not be able to stop Chen Kangjian's attack." Qin Zhiyuan reminded Liu Zizheng.

"Don't worry, Qin Ye, we are not arrogant, we are not arrogant, we are not arrogant, even if Lao Chen can attack him, we can beat him back. According to the analysis of the German positions in Shermandedam, there were three such lines, and the German mobile units were about two kilometers from the front line, which was outside the visual range of the artillery, and at the same time not far from the first line of defense. As long as the first line of defense is lost, the Germans can organize a counterattack at any time, and the defenders will inevitably be driven back because of the lack of effective means of defense. Liu Zizheng is full of confidence.

"What does it mean to lack effective means of defense? Lao Chen has a tank in his hand, which can be used as a defensive fulcrum, and it is also a movable defensive fulcrum, not better than your pillbox? Qin Zhiyuan disagreed.

"Master Qin, let's talk about none of this now, you'll know when the fight starts." Liu Zizheng insisted.

Okay, let's wait for the fight.
