Just as Lin Youde had predicted, British and French troops began to assemble in Corsica.

The British Fort of Malta was occupied by the Human Reform Alliance in the last war, and as a result, the British suddenly found that they had no place to assemble troops, so they went directly to Israel to assemble, but the Israelis did not agree, saying that there were not so many troops around their military port, and there was no place to place them when you came. As a result, there was no way, and the British had to go to the island of the French to assemble.

The French deserved to be the old enemies of the British for so many years, and they did not miss any opportunity to mock the British, and immediately began to ridicule the British Empire, which once "boasted" of ruling over thousands of waves, could not even find a foothold in the Mediterranean. The British were immediately displeased, and without saying a word, transferred the convoy of troop transports to Gibraltar, which had originally destined for Corsica.

Lin Youde was amused by the reaction of the British, and said in his heart that although these two have been enemies for hundreds of years, they will not play like this.

But people just play like this, and you have to accept it if you don't accept it.

While the Egyptian ambassador to various countries tried his best to win international support for Egypt, Egypt's foreign minister also went around non-stop to visit wèn to pull rescue troops.

The day before the Egyptian diplomatic ambassador arrived in Germany, Lin Youde took his family to the Eagle's Nest for a vacation - this Eagle's Nest was originally built for Lin Youde's private mansion and was Lin Youde's personal property, but Lin Youde "confiscated" the army in his hands, so the guards of the Eagle's Nest were also changed from armored hunters to armed personnel of Lin Youde's "Lin Security Manpower Dispatch Company".

This Lin security manpower dispatch company is actually Lin Youde's private soldier, and the nature is similar to the armed forces of the East India Company back then, but Lin Youde put on a layer of camouflage for him, and hung the name of "security manpower dispatch", and theoretically anyone can hire this company to serve him as long as he gives money.

Mercenaries have existed since ancient times, especially in Western society, mercenaries have a long history, in the feudal era of Europe, it was quite common for lords to hire soldiers to serve themselves with money, and even some knights fought for money, although they could not get a good commission, but they could capture the enemy's knights or nobles on the battlefield and then ask for ransom.

Later, with the advent of modern times, the figure of mercenaries seemed to gradually withdraw from the stage of history, and the national army condensed with the patriotism of the nation-state became the main force of the war.

But in fact, this is not the case, although the mercenaries in Europe are gradually not visible, but in Africa and Asia, the mercenaries are still active. The East India Company used mercenaries to protect its interests before it formed its own troops, and even earlier, when the Frenchman Duprax and the Englishman Clavour were in India, their troops were all mercenaries (the wonderful battle of wits and courage of these two could be taken out separately to write a novel, really).

In this way, while the mercenaries gradually faded out of the European mainland, they became prosperous in the colonies and became the vanguard pawns of the capitalists in the colonies.

And when time entered the post-war era of another time and space, mercenaries were widely active in third world countries.

Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia have become almost mercenary havens, but there are many differences. The mercenaries in Southeast Asia are mainly hired by drug lords, whose main task is to protect the production area and provide armed escorts for shipments; The composition of mercenaries in South America is complex, including mercenaries who serve drug lords like Mexico and Colombia, and "revolutionary armed forces" who operate under the banner of the revolutionary army. The composition of mercenaries in Africa is relatively simple: there are two main parts, the first is the troops hired by dictators and warlords to protect themselves, and the second is the security forces of various countries in Africa.

In another time and space, the name of the mercenary organization is rarely seen in the newspapers, like Blackwater, which is very famous, but in fact, it was only established in 98, and it is a complete small character. Long before Blackwater was founded, a country that advocated a peaceful rise was already sending its veterans to work as security guards in African factories and mines.

In fact, this country originally didn't want to play this trick - it didn't take long to be a hooligan, and I was weak in heart, afraid of being caught in pigtails. So at first, the mercenaries it hired locally in Africa came to see the field, and it turned out that Uncle Nima Hei was fighting a battle, and the two sides exchanged fierce fire and finally suffered a total of five casualties! The shooting hit rate is basically infinite, approaching zero, and there is wood! No matter how far away the AK is, you can't shoot at a point!

The most important thing is that the sense of responsibility is not high, and the phenomenon of slipping numbers is particularly strict! This month, even the people with guns are gone, and after two months, there is no money to spend and they are back!

Later, there was no way, a certain country could only find its little brother in Africa, Uncle Hei of Tanzania, to guard the base for himself, but Uncle Hei of Tanzania was born out of his own family, and his military literacy was a fraction of that of his own genuine army - don't underestimate this fraction, this combat effectiveness Tanzania's Black Uncle has already walked sideways in Africa.

Tanzania had a good effect on the field, so a certain country had a peaceful life in Africa, but then a certain country's hand in Africa stretched out longer and longer, and the sub-base drove into some countries that were not very good with Tanzania, and the security work of the sub-base encountered problems again. A certain country thought of any way to do this, and even tried to hire Cuban mercenaries, but in the end it gave up because the Cubans asked for too high a price.

One country had no choice but to place a group of veterans in the security department of its own state-owned company and throw it to Africa to watch the gate — a more fashionable term called "paramilitary security personnel".

Now, Lin Youde's Eagle's Nest is under the protection of "paramilitary security personnel". Despite being known as "paramilitarized", the Eagle's Nest's guards may have more ferocious firepower than the active German army, and their training is even better.

After Lin Youde hid in the eagle's nest, he couldn't see anyone if he couldn't think of him, and no one could help him, and the Egyptian foreign minister could only stare dryly.

**

"Actually, if the Egyptians want to see you, won't you be done with them?" Isabella asked Lin Youde with a puzzled expression.

At this time, there was goose feather snow outside the eagle's nest, and the window of the living room was pure white, and from time to time there was a whining wind through the window, echoing in the warm living room.

Lin Youde shook the wine glass in his hand and pretended to know the rules of drinking wine, and slowly answered Isabella's question: "Although our family has retreated into the background, my every move as the head of the family will still receive widespread attention. Even if I announce that I have parted with the Egyptian Foreign Minister after the meeting and there is no substantive result, others will still think that I have expressed support for Egypt. ”

"Is that really the case?" Isabella asked, incredulous.

Lin Youde nodded vigorously: "It really will, my former queen majesty." That's why I have to think twice when I meet guests with a national background. ”

"Okay. So you're not going to help Egypt at all? ”

"Why should I help Egypt?" Lin Youde shrugged his shoulders, "Speaking of which, it was originally the United States and Britain who helped Egypt together, and we helped Israel." Now the British see that Egypt can't deal with Israel, and they have decisively changed their minds, and in this case, how can we stand in solidarity with Egypt. ”

"Looks like you have a big opinion of the British." Isabella had a smiling expression.

"Guy, generally refers to men, you know, men." Lin Youde wittily began to use Chinese.

And Isabella obviously didn't plan to be slipped by Lin Youde like this, so she reminded: "Just now you said in German, although it is indeed 'British' when translated into Chinese, the original word in German does not distinguish between men and women." ”

"Okay, I'm wrong, can't I?"

Isabella smiled and turned her head to look out the window.

"The snow is so big that you can't see the scenery."

"I kind of like the snow." Lin Youde took a sip of the Lafite in his glass, pretending to feel it, but it was useless, he still didn't taste the difference between this famous wine from the Bordeaux region and the ordinary wine from the Burgundy region.

It stands to reason that Lin Youde has drunk a lot of famous wines in the past 20 years, and he should have cultivated a taste for famous wines a long time ago, but obviously this is not the case. If you think about it carefully, Lin Youde was poured so much beer in college, and he didn't become a beer master. He also once went to a home-brewed beer festival to work as a live NPC, and then drank a lot of home-brewed beer that is said to be integrated into the unique personality of the brewer and sold very expensive, but he regretted that he couldn't drink those home-brewed beers that are smarter than Qingdao on the street for 36 yuan a dozen. Of course, there is a special case for everything, and that time Lin Youde also drank a special case: he drank beer brewed with oysters - Nima, oyster sauce beer!

After Lin Youde finished drinking, he really wanted to buy a bottle with his part-time salary, and go back to see how it tasted like mixing rice noodles with this thing.

In short, Lin Youde despaired of his wine tasting skills, and for a while he thought he had tasted the door, only to find out later that it was just an illusion.

Isabella kept staring at Lin Youde, seeing that Lin Youde was in a daze at the little Lafite left in her hand, and couldn't help asking: "Is that wine really so good, can you taste it for so long?" ”

"Of course," Xia Li's voice came from behind Lin Youde, and the French girl gracefully came behind Lin Youde and gently pressed Lin Youde's shoulder with her hand, "Our France, like China, is a country with a strong wine culture. ”

"It's true that China has a wine culture," Lin Youde said and quietly squeezed his eyes at Isabella, "but to be honest, I personally can't taste the difference between those famous wines." Of course, when the degree difference is relatively large, I can still feel it by the burning Cheng dù in my chest, but I can't tell the difference between the same strong liquor. It's the same with this wine, you pour a glass of Lafite and then a glass of Romanée Condi (which is a famous wine from Burgundy) and put it in front of me, I can't tell the difference at all. ”

As soon as Lin Youde finished speaking, Isabella laughed happily: "Hahahahaha, it seems that there are the majority of people in this room, and the mountains and rivers can only be high and low!" ”

"Hmph, just learning a few words of Chinese and rushing to show off, sure enough, it's a British barbarian."

"Can I speak Chinese better than you!" Isabella slapped the table hard, "Don't believe we're going to compare tongue twisters!" ”

"Compare to whom, who is afraid of whom?"

Xia Li's response made a familiar melody sound in Lin Youde's head......

But before Lin Youde began to recall the melody about motorcycles and the youth that died on the highway, Isabella took the lead: "Let's start with the simple, four is four, ten is ten, fourteen is oops!" ”

Isabella bit her tongue and blushed into tomatoes with a brush, while Charlie seized the opportunity to laugh: "What a better one to talk about than me, look at me, forty-four...... Uh, four is yes...... Uh......"

Isabella rolled on the couch laughing, her face redder than when she was shy.

"This tongue twister is poisonous, I don't believe you let your dear come and read it, he can't read it well!"

"I've got it done, how about you go out and run naked on the ridge?" Lin Youde raised his head and stared at Xia Li with provocative eyes.

"Hmph, okay, no one can see this snowy day anyway."

In fact, Lin Youde just knew that no one could see it on this snowy day, so he bet on this, so he didn't want others to see the graceful body curve of his harem.

Then Lin Youde cleared his throat and opened his mouth to come-

- but did not come.

"Bullying southerners has a straight tongue!" Lin Youde complained loudly, and the two girls laughed stupidly, Isabella was lying on the sofa, and she might roll down and fall to the ground at any time, Xia Li put her arms around Lin Youde's neck, laughing so much that her chest shook up and down, and rubbed the back of Lin Youde's head repeatedly.

"Forget it, it's hurt your self-esteem, I'll quit, you two play." Lin Youde coughed lightly and put on a stern face, "I'll be the referee." Come, Isabella, come on your best. ”

"Okay, the bench is ...... wide"

This time, Isabella said it very smoothly, and after speaking, she stared at Xia Li with her hands on her hips and a provocative expression.

"Hmph, what's so hard about this!" Xia Li immediately threw the tongue twister back to Isabella as it was, and then without waiting for Lin Youde to speak, she threw out her tongue twister to Isabella to "attack", "hit the south and came to ......"

In the next ten minutes, the French sister and the British sister memorized more than a dozen tongue twisters to compete, Lin Youde was next to him and called an embarrassment, dignified Shenji, the combined combat effectiveness of the two can destroy the existence of a small country like Luxembourg at once, and they actually used tongue twisters to fight here? It's too off-put, isn't it?

The two of them don't know if they also realize that they are now forced to drop badly, or if they are simply high-intensity language output directors who are dry and speechless, in short, the two of them stopped attacking in unison after finishing the 20th tongue twister, staring at each other with round eyes. Both sides were adjusting their breathing, so the ups and downs of their chests were very violent, so that Lin Youde's eyes involuntarily swayed with the surging peaks.

At this time, Xiaolu's voice drilled into Lin Youde's ears: "What are they doing?" ”

Lin Youde looked back and saw that Xiaolu was lying on the back of the sofa he was sitting on, looking curiously at the two who were staring at each other.

"What's the snow on your head?"

"I just sat outside under the eaves and watched the snow." Xiaolu pointed out the window, "Dad, it's strange, I'm in a very good mood after it starts to snow outside, and I can watch the snow for a long time while sitting outside, and I won't get tired at all." Why is that? ”

"Because you're my daughter." Lin Youde looked at the heavy snow outside the window again, "When I was a child, I especially liked rainy days, and when it rained, I would sit on the windowsill and stretch out my bare feet to get drenched in the rain." Whenever I feel very happy and in a good mood. And the heavier the rain, the better I feel. ”

"But it's snowing outside." Xiaolu asked puzzled, "It's different from rain, right?" ”

"It's pretty much the same, so Dad, I like the weather now, I've been listening to the sound of the snowstorm outside since the beginning, don't you think it's great?"

"Well, that's great." Xiaolu grinned, "This wind sounds very comfortable. ”

"Before I knew it, Xiaolu actually knew what it meant to be a literary fan." Xia Li exclaimed.

"Eh, literary fan?" Xiaolu tilted her head and looked at Xia Li in confusion.

Lin Youde reached out and rubbed Xiaolu's soft hair, and said with a smile: "Where does she know what literary and artistic fan, she just directly explains her feelings." ”

"If that's the case, isn't it even more powerful, this shows that Xiaolu is a natural literary girl."

"Eh, I'm amazing, am I?" Xiaolu pointed to herself and asked excitedly.

Xia Li didn't say a word and nodded in affirmation: "Yes, it's amazing." ”

Xiaolu laughed, scratching the back of her head with her big paws, looking embarrassed.

Isabella looked at Xiaolu like this and muttered, "It's so cute, I want to have one too." ”

"I feel the same way." Xia Li nodded.

"You guys, don't put pressure on me like this." Lin Youde spread his hands, "It's really none of my business, I've worked hard, okay, you see this time I came to the Eagle's Nest for a vacation, and I brought the two of you who don't have children yet, okay!" It's not that I don't want to plant it for you, it's really not beautiful. ”

When Lin Youde said this, his mouth was suddenly blocked by Xia Li's lips.

After the lightning kiss ended, Xia Li smiled at Lin Youde at a very close distance and said softly: "Of course we know, so just now we just expressed our love for the child." ”

"That's right." Isabella also agreed, moving to Lin Youde to sit down next to Lin Youde as she spoke, leaning close to Lin Youde, and glaring at Xia Li who "took advantage of the opportunity", "We just expressed our inner motherhood, and we didn't mean to blame you, dear." ”
