"Actually, I'm more inclined to the German style..."Thinking of actually asking Bertrand to be that old bastard, Yan Shao smiled bitterly in his heart.

As a person of later generations, Yan Shao certainly knew the strength of the German Army, although Germany suffered a miserable defeat in two wars, but no one dared to ignore Germany's strength in later generations. So if possible, he would prefer his men to be trained in the German style.

It's a pity that he has nothing to do with Germany, and there is no way to send it if he wants to. Even if you spend money to send someone there, you have to worry about whether the matter will be leaked, after all, people are not related to him, and there is no need to keep secrets for him.

As for inviting someone to come and teach?

It's relatively simple to do this, anyway, Yan Shao doesn't have to worry about money at all now, and he can invite some retired colonel-level or even general-level officers from Germany to come over and help train the guys under him.

It's just that if you do this, the movement is too big and too conspicuous. The people in the government are not all idiots, and now that there are at least five years left before the Xinhai year, it is more realistic to expect that nothing will be discovered by training troops under their noses.

And a businessman actually trains his subordinates like an army, this kind of thing is probably not easy to explain. It is said that money can be channeled, but it is also shown what is going on, anyway, he doesn't believe that no one will covet his massive wealth, so he needs to keep a low profile in this regard, so as not to give people excuses...

"But it's different on Bertrand's side..."Pursing his lips, Yan Shao's expression became a little proud. Even if that old bastard doesn't like me. For Elano's sake, he would never betray me, for then even Elaline would be in danger. And although the French Army was inferior to the German Army, it was in the period before and after the First World War. The top three in the world are still in the platoon, and the strength is undoubted, especially the special nature of the Foreign Legion in Bertrand, even in the French Army, it is also elite, and it has been fighting in various parts of the world all year round, and has rich experience in actual combat, and if you send people over, you can learn a lot of things that you can't learn in the classroom. As long as you can come back alive, it's definitely a standard combat faction..."

This is also the reason why Yan Shao wants to send people to Elanon's father, first of all, no matter how unpleasant that old bastard looks at him. and will never betray him. Thirdly, the nature of the Foreign Legion is special, especially the 2nd Infantry Regiment as the main force (the 1st Regiment is responsible for staying at the headquarters, so the 2nd Infantry Regiment is the main force that fights). It is the vanguard in every war.

Train in such a unit. There is no doubt that you can learn a lot of things that you can't learn in the classroom, after all, there are many things that can only be learned on the battlefield.

"My father's side...", which automatically filtered Yan Shao's rude salutation, Liu frowned slightly, and Elaline said softly. I don't know if he will agree, but whether it will be a little dangerous to send people to him, after all, the nature of his unit is somewhat special..."

"It's because of the special nature that I sent it over...", Yan Shao explained his thoughts.

"In that case—" Eleno looked up and pondered for a moment, and said. Then I'll leave for Marseille tomorrow..."

"Can't you send a telegram?" Yan Shao frowned. If she really wants to go back to Marseille, who knows if that old bastard of Bertrand will let her come back. If you trap your own woman there for this matter, it will be more than worth the loss.

With a smile, Elaline said helplessly. "This kind of thing, how can it be said clearly if it is not in person, don't worry, no matter what, he is also my father, even if he doesn't agree, he won't embarrass me..."

nodded a little reluctantly, he also knew that it was better to say this kind of thing in person.

"Then you can go with Caterina, so that you can have a care..."

"Please..."Seeing Yan Shao's nervous appearance, Elano couldn't help but laugh. What do you think my father is..."

Of course, this sentence can only be said in my heart, it is said that my father-in-law is the enemy of my previous life, not to mention the correctness of this sentence for the time being, anyway, Yan Shao feels that his relationship with Bertrand is definitely not good.

"But if you go to France this time, it's better to bring some people with you..."Just when Yan Shao complained in his heart, Elaline groaned. I'll bring a few maids over this time, it's more convenient to have something..."

After saying that, Elaline patted Caterina on the shoulder and winked at her with his back to Yan Shao. "For the rest of the time, you'll be in charge of this guy..."

The distance from China to France is not short, and even the fastest cruise can take at least two months. With her understanding of Yan Shao, if there was no one to stay with him for such a long time, the possibility of him not stealing food was almost equal to zero when there were so many women in the manor, so she would let Caterina stay, lest after returning from her mother's house, suddenly have an extra sister, or worse, several more sisters...

Nodding her head clearly, Caterina certainly understood what she meant. "Don't worry, I'll definitely be 'optimistic' about him..."

————————————————————

Because Eleno was going to be away for at least two months, the two of them were very entangled, and Caterina was very understanding and didn't bother the two of them—————— anyway, the next two months were hers.

"Hurry back as soon as the matter is over..."Glancing at the passenger ship that had already gone up in the distance, Yan Shao said to Elaline after touching his nose.

Elaline brushed her hair aside, her long black hair dancing in the wind. "Don't worry, I'll be back soon..."

"Yes, don't worry, sir." Standing behind Elanon, a maid named Tang Li laughed in a crisp voice. "We'll definitely take care of Miss."

Behind Tang Li, several other maids also nodded in unison.

There are two main types of maids in the manor, one is temporarily hired, and most of these people are the daughters or close relatives of the female workers in the textile factory, such as nieces and so on. It's also more reassuring to use.

The other type is bought, although it has entered the twentieth century, the phenomenon of selling children and daughters in China at this time is not uncommon. It can even be said that it is very common. So when he went out, Yan Shao bought some from outside and called them in the manor.

For him, this category is also more reassuring, after all, there are too many secrets on him, and these secrets must not be discovered in the next few years. Although those temporarily hired maids were reassuring, when they left the manor, no one knew if they would say something they should not say to the public. And those who have signed the deed of sale, at least do not need to worry about this.

Several maids, including Tang Li, are like this, and Caterina will also practice them when they are bored. I don't dare to say how good my skills are, after all, they are just a group of fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls, but their marksmanship is good.

"Then please..."Nodding at Tang Li, Yan Shao turned around and took out two things. This one is for you..."

"What is this?" Seeing that Yan Shao took out a box. Elaline thought something strange. Caterina's face changed.

Smiling, Yan Shao opened the box.

The box contained a pair of black diamond earrings, which Yan Shao had asked someone to get with great difficulty.

"It's your birthday in a while, and I was going to send it on your birthday, but now it seems that it has to be sent in advance..."

Looking at the earrings in the box, Elanon's eyes showed a look of surprise, but Caterina on the side was relieved.

The black diamonds reflect a mysterious brilliance in the sunlight and are perfectly matched with the exquisite and excellent craftsmanship. Even a layman standing here can see the value of these earrings. But what she values most is Yan Shao's heart.

Taking out the gift from the box, Elano handed the earrings to Yan Shao's hands.

Of course, Yan Shao understood what she meant, and after taking the earrings, he put them on for her with his own hands.

"That's right..."

After handing over the birthday present to Elano in advance, Yan Shao took out a check from his pocket.

"There's also a check for $1.5 million, and when we get to Marseille..."

If the earrings just now surprised Elanon, when he saw the check, the surprise turned into displeasure.

Seeing that Elano seemed to have misunderstood something, Yan Shao hurriedly explained. "This one is for your father..."

"My father?" Elaineau, who was displeased, was a little strange and didn't understand what this had to do with his father.

"After you meet your father, ask him for me to see if he is still interested in going further, if he is interested..." I can help him..."

Not long ago, Yan Shao had already figured it out.

Never mind how he and that old bastard of Bertrand didn't like each other, because of Elaline, their relationship couldn't be changed. So instead of being so hostile to each other, it's better to find a way to make this relationship more beneficial to you...

"That old bastard doesn't want to be a colonel until he retires..."Gently stroking the soft cunt in his palm, Yan Shao smiled and said. Even though I don't like him, he's my future father-in-law anyway, and I don't mind helping him if I can, and it's a great benefit to me..."

In the final analysis, this world is the world of power and money, Bertrand has a certain influence in the French military circles, if Yan Shao can fund him behind his back, I believe that it will not be long before Bertrand can change from the school level to the general level, and even become a marshal in the future It is not impossible, after all, Bertrand is only in his early 40s, and if Bertrand can ascend to a high position, the benefits to Yan Shao are also obvious...

Hearing Yan Shao say this, Elainor's expression became a little complicated, because if she did this, her relationship with Yan Shao would no longer be so pure, but she still accepted the check after the end...

After hiding the little reluctance in his heart, Elaline nodded slightly.

"I'll try..."
