Billa-Jean-Pinault, part of the 3rd Infantry Regiment of the Royal French Musket.

This year, he turns eighteen.

Originally, he was just an ordinary French peasant kid, although he looked very young. But in fact, he has used three years of military experience, and he is already a real veteran.

And, I've seen blood.

Three years ago, he was a little beggar living on the streets.

If it weren't for luck, met the conscription and was chosen. If he doesn't know, he will be captured by the sheriffs, and then stuffed into the Americas and sent to the Americas.

At the time, he thought he was lucky, but now that he thinks about it, he realizes how much of an opportunity he actually missed.

If he had been captured and sent to the Americas, as long as he had survived the voyage of more than four months, he would not have stayed in such a dangerous place now.

At first, the little guy thought he had gone shit luck and would never have to go hungry again.

However, he was not happy for long.

Just half a year after he joined the army, war broke out.

In the early days, he accompanied the 3rd Infantry Regiment of the Royal Musketeers in the Portuguese Restoration Regiment's attack on the Spanish Empire.

Since then, until now, he has not enjoyed a stable life.

War, killing, blood and death became what he had to face every day. And he himself has gone from being scared and frightened at the beginning to being numb now.

For three years, the young man felt as if he had spent centuries in the past.

But one thing has to be said, and that is that his luck is actually quite good.

and a group of his fellow soldiers, in the past three years, have changed one stubble after another, and apart from a few minor injuries, he has not encountered any danger.

And he himself has gone from a small cannon fodder soldier to a small officer at the bottom of the corps. Twenty people under his command. It's really a day and a place compared to before.

The 3rd Infantry Regiment of the Royal French Musketeers, the corps of the Grand Duke of Arles on the side of the Church Alliance, had been engaged in battle near Brijansson in western France.

In the engagement, there were heavy casualties on both sides.

However, neither of them could defeat the other, so a bloody two-and-a-half-year standoff between the two sides began in the region.

Originally, the side of the Grand Duke of Al had an advantage in terms of troops.

However, France received material aid from the Americas, so it had the capital to fight against the Grand Duke of Arles.

The Grand Duke of Arr was the heir to the Polish throne and belonged to the powerful faction on the side of the Church coalition.

But in more than two years of fighting. Grand Duke Al suffered a lot of losses in military strength.

But, the war still has to go on, isn't it?

After all, it's all hit this part, and it's impossible to just withdraw like this.

Even if he wanted to, the rest of the Church coalition didn't want to.

Therefore, in the face of such a situation, everyone can only grit their teeth and continue to persevere.

For them, they will be able to compensate for their losses by winning this war only by defeating the enemy.

If you can't stand the retreat now. That's nothing.

Because of the war, the economy of the vassal states of the Church was not very good. It can even be said that it has reached the point where the people are not able to make a living.

So, the victory or defeat of this war. It is especially important for them.

If they win, they can let Portugal and France, the defeated side, pay large sums of money to fill the void at home.

Fail, that's not good.

Of course. On the side of the coalition of churches, they do not think that they will lose.

Because no matter how you look at it, their military strength is stronger than that of the Portuguese-French alliance.

Although now the Ottoman Empire is involved. But none of them were taken into account by the Church Alliance.

But in fact, the trend of the war was beyond the expectations of many people.

Originally, everyone thought that in the face of the attack of the Church coalition, Portugal and France would not be able to resist at all.

Even if Portugal and France resisted, it was unlikely that they would resist for long.

But who would have thought that Portugal and France not only withstood the offensive of the Church Alliance, but also held out for more than two years, so that the Church Alliance did not achieve much success at all.

On the side of the Church Alliance, they did not even break through the French border, and they were forced to stand there for more than two years.

The Church Alliance, which was unable to break through the military lines of Portugal and France, could not have gained any benefit from the French.

This made the Church coalition very annoyed.

But that's already the case, so what can they do?

You can't all fight to this point, let's withdraw the troops.

It can be said that the church coalition is now red-eyed. And put everything on this war.

It is precisely for this reason that for more than two years, military groups on both sides of the French border fought in the French border area, turning the combat area into a flesh and blood mill.

In this regard, Billa-Jean Pinault of the 3rd Infantry Regiment of the French Royal Musketeers is the clearest of this.

For two and a half years, day and night, the enemy's attacks never stopped.

The enemy's means of attack are also full of tricks.

Of course, basically the number of times a small attack group of several people is sent in consideration of avoiding large losses, and that is the most.

Originally, Billa Jean Pinault thought that such a blow would surely continue for many more years. But I don't know how to do it, since half a month ago, the enemy's attack actually stopped.

The French war zone, which was originally in full swing, actually ushered in a strange half a month without fighting.

This makes many people who are used to fighting every day feel a little unaccustomed and even feel uncomfortable.

This is not to say that the soldiers like war and killing, but that the veterans have become accustomed to living like this every day in the long confrontation.

Habits are very scary.

This is also for what when there is no battle for half a month, those veterans will be uncomfortable.

Billa-Jean-Pinault, who was in charge of guarding a hill. This place is still 500 meters away from the base camp of the Portuguese and French coalition forces, which is a relatively safe area.

But in the space of half a month. But he was worried every day and didn't dare to take it lightly.

After more than two years of war career, he is not the same as before.

See a lot, hear a lot, and especially experience a lot.

The more this is the case, the more cautious and cautious he becomes.

War is different from other things, if something goes wrong, it will cost you your own life.

Therefore, in this half a month, even if the area where I am stationed is very safe. But Billa Jean Pinault was also on Gordon's alert and nervous every day.

The devil knows what the hell the hell is going on with Grand Duke Al and his Polish legions.

What kind of machinations does the enemy on the opposite side have?

It's just that because of his own words, he can't control the overall situation.

Otherwise, Pinault thought he must advise the general to be careful of the Polish legions on the other side.

Although you can't control the general situation, it's always right to be careful.

If there is a real outbreak of the Poles, he will be able to see the opportunity quickly and escape.

I have to say. Billa Jean Pinault, still a guy with a lot of brains.

There are many people who think the same way as Billa Jean Pinault, most of them veterans at the bottom.

Unlike these veterans, the newly drafted soldiers. But I'm so happy every day.

For them recruits, what could be happier than not fighting every day.

Yes, there is no killing without fighting, and there is no death without killing.

After all, this is war. There is no guarantee that they will survive.

But as long as there is no fighting, then there will be no threat to your personal safety, right?

These recruits are very simple and their ideas are very simple.

"Ensign. Come on, smoke a cigarette. “

A young man with black hair and black eyes, dressed in a beautiful red suit, walked over, then sat down casually beside Pinault, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it over.

"Wow, cigarettes from the Americas, that's a lot of money." Although he said this, Pinault's hand did not stop. He took the cigarette handed by the young man, and skillfully pulled out one and put it into the end.

Ping!

The black-haired and black-eyed young man lit a cigarette, and cyan smoke rose.

Call!

He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled the smoke from his mouth.

Although cigarettes are expensive, Pino will not be polite to the young man. Because this young man is very rich, his monthly salary is more than ten times or even dozens of times that of himself.

Thinking about this, Pinault couldn't help but sigh.

They are all about the same age, why are they so rich.

To be honest, there is a strong country behind them.

Yes, the black-haired and black-eyed young man sitting beside Pinault was of Chinese descent from the Song Empire.

Because the empire had several concessions here in Marseille, many of the imperial Chinese were present in France.

Some are in charge of business, while others are in charge of gathering intelligence and related information.

For example, the young man sitting next to Pinault is an intelligence officer who specializes in collecting information on the warring sides.

For these people of the Song Empire, the Portuguese and French armies did not excluse.

Even, for some special reasons, they were able to pass through the army unimpeded.

This has to say that the Song people are really open-minded.

"It's because I envy you, a month's salary is more than that of a big soldier like me. I really regret dying now, how nice it would have been if I hadn't been a soldier and had been taken to America. “

Pino spat out the smoke in his mouth, and the thought of this was really regretful.

The young man of Imperial Chinese descent sitting beside him just smiled when he heard this, and did not hesitate to respond to Pinault's words.

"We've sent another batch of supplies, and your general has already signed for it. It's just that I don't know how long it will take to send it down, why don't you hurry up and take a look and think of a way? ", the young man said about the reason for coming here this time.

Pinault flicked the cigarette ash and said with a normal face: "It has nothing to do with me, and it doesn't matter if I go." Those generals want to get rich, do I have to stop them? I didn't live enough, I had to live a few more years, and I would live to be 100 if I could. ”

"You're smart." , The young man of Chinese descent scolded with a smile, and then took out a small boxy box from his arms, "Please take away the goods this time, I wish you a fortune." “

As soon as Pino saw the boxy box, he immediately flicked the cigarette in his hand away, and picked up the box with excitement in his eyes.

"Ha Luha, let's get rich together."

As he spoke, he opened the box, and his face slowly revealed that abnormal flush. The young man of Chinese descent knew at a glance that this guy named Pinault was now in extreme excitement.

"Recently, my sales have been very good, and more and more people are buying Fushou paste from me. So I've always had a bit of a shortage of goods on hand, so I thought if you could increase the supply on my side? ”

It is not difficult to hear from Pinault's words that he dares to love him and this young man of Chinese descent have a cooperative deal. And the goods they sell are actually Fushou cream...... (To be continued......)
