Chapter 239: Observation Mission (Part II)

E: I'm sorry, the child caught a cold a few days ago, and it was more strict, so I can't update it. Thank you for your understanding

Orleans, camp of the Chinese Observer Mission.

Colonel Yi Damao's mood is now in a very wonderful state, with three points of happiness and three points of confusion, and three points of trepidation, and another point of indescribable feelings mixed together.

The reason is that just now, he was confessed. A girl, a beautiful girl, a beautiful blonde girl, a beautiful French blonde girl, confessed to him. And the whole confession process is still under the watchful eye of a large number of ** officials.

As a result, Comrade Yi Damao became famous all of a sudden, not only in the Ten Thousand Matters Observation Group, but also among the French team and front-line workers.

"Political commissar, look, how to deal with this matter?" Yi Damao said with a red face. After being confessed, Yi Damao hurriedly ran to the political commissar to get an idea. Although he felt good about this French girl, he was completely unprepared to confess such a thing. Well, he's underestimating the French girl's open Cheng dรน.

The political commissar said with a smile: "It's nothing, whether it's the law or the discipline of our army, there is no prohibition on transnational marriages, it's good for you to be in such a situation." Comrade Yi Damao, there is no problem with that Miss Sophie's background, you can rest assured that you can associate with her, just pay attention to the principle of confidentiality......"

To be able to act as an interpreter for the China Observer Mission, of course, it cannot be someone with a questionable background, which involves the element of confidentiality. That Sophie girl was recommended by the French Hydra Foundation, and the Hydra Consortium is also one of Xingke's vest companies, and her background has long been investigated. Of course, even she was unaware of these things, and even the "recommendation" was chosen from a pool of candidates by a seemingly unrelated Foreign Ministry official to Hydra.

"However, I am completely unprepared for such a thing as marriage......" Yi Damao fixed his face.

"Well, I don't want you to marry her right away, you can date first. Anyway, this battle can't end in a short time, you still have time, hahaha......" The political commissar kicked him out after speaking.

Yi Damao's peach blossom luck in France is not the only one, but just one of many similar incidents. Many of the Chinese observer groups are young officers who are considered by their superiors to be trained in a key way, and most of these people are bachelors, they are very high-level, strict manners, strong physique, good education, broad prospects, high social status, these conditions, coupled with the uniform temptation, naturally attract many girls, and the girls in Europe are much more enthusiastic than in China. These Western girls launched a powerful love offensive against their favorite targets, as the saying goes, "men chase women across heavy mountains, women chase men on the paper", and many officers "fell" and rode on a large ocean horse.

The main reason why China sent such a large-scale observation mission was because of Wen Desi's attitude towards the war. First of all, Wen Desi definitely does not want to trap China in the European war, this is a meat grinder, too dangerous.

Yes, there are other opinions at home, at most: "Participating in the war can gain international recognition, and the European and American powers can accept us, and we can also get benefits". The second is: "Participating in the war can train the army and absorb the experience of war" or something......

To these opinions, Wen Deji scoffed at them all. The person who puts forward the first opinion is purely dreaming, dreaming, dreaming.

After connecting France and Japan, New China "gained international recognition", and if you look at the attitudes of various countries now, you can see that there is no need to participate in the European war at all, it is no longer necessary. "Let the European and American powers accept us", that is even more of a joke, if you don't have the strength, no one will accept you, if you have enough strength, they will come to kneel and lick.

As for the idea that "you can get the gratitude of the great powers by participating in the war, and thus get benefits", it is even more too young, too simple. In the history of the original time and space, the United States and Russia were both belligerent countries, but the result. In the end, Russia was sent by the foreign powers to the troops involved, and the country was thrown into chaos, resulting in the death of millions of people, and the reparations were paid.

Well, one might say, Russia was unlucky because they had made a revolution of their own. Well, even if Russia is unlucky for this reason, but the United States, they didn't make a revolution. What economic benefits did the United States get after World War I, besides economically? And those economic benefits could have been obtained even if they had not entered the war. At that time, the United States also entered the war with this attitude of "sharing the cake", and they also believed that Britain and France would definitely be grateful to them and give them a large piece of the cake.

The Entente at that time could have survived with all the assistance of the United States, not to mention that the United States had filled in more than 100,000 soldiers for this purpose. It stands to reason that the Entente should be grateful. The United States itself thinks the same way, thinking that it can get a big piece of the cake.

But later facts proved that imperialism has no discipline, and after the cake, poor Eagle Sauce didn't even get a hair, and it was not as bad as Japan, which was so miserable by cows and roosters. The United States was so angry that it launched the League of Nations, which it founded single-handedly, so the isolationism in the United States after World War I was so strict because it was so badly destroyed by Britain and France in World War I.

Of course, there is, but those gratitudes are just a few words of praise in newspapers and books, and the substantive gratitude is only a little bit of gratitude

For an old power like Niu Niu, the United States, which is of the same species, is not mistaken, so why can you be an exception for your Chinese yellow-skinned monkey?

With the help of historical information, Wen Desi knows these guys very well, so he will definitely not let China go to Europe to fill the trenches. Nima has no practical benefit at all, so let's go and die? Only the kind of people whose brains are caught in the door will send people to fill the trenches in Europe.

As for the second opinion of "training the army and absorbing war experience", Wen Desi also found it funny. There are so many war materials, war histories, memoirs, and live records in the database, from World War I to future interstellar wars, and what is there to absorb from the superficial experience of World War I? As for training the army, it is even more funny, the army really needs to be tempered through actual combat, but a low-intensity war is the best place for training, and a high-intensity war like the European war is completely inadequate, not only will it not play the role of training, but it will only bring too many unnecessary losses.

Therefore, in Mr. Wen's view, the biggest use of the European war is to let the domestic officers feel the atmosphere of the high-intensity war, and it is worthless otherwise. If you want to feel the atmosphere, send more people to feel it.

Yi Damao and Sophie walked side by side in the camp, talking and laughing. Sophie was born into a family of teachers, and was interested in classical Chinese culture since she was a child, and later took Chinese as an elective in school, and after graduation, she was hired by the Hydra Foundation to become a Chinese translator. After the arrival of the Chinese observer group, in order to establish good relations, France recruited a group of interpreters from the civilian sector to distribute them to the Chinese side. Sophie is one of them, and after coming and going, she got together with Yi Damao.

Now that the two have officially established a relationship, ape dung

The two walked near the food ball and suddenly smelled a pungent fragrance.

"Wow, it smells, what's that?"

"Hey, it looks like bread is baked. Sophie, should we go to dinner first......" Yi Damao snorted and smiled at his girlfriend.

"Okay, I'm a little hungry too, dear......" Sophie didn't squirm at all. However, his "dear" still made Yi Damao's face red. "But wasn't there no bread before? China also eats bread?"

Yi Damao said: "Yes, in the past, there were only rice and noodles, and the superiors said that they wanted to follow the local customs, so they said to increase Western food." These pastry chefs arrived only the day before yesterday

The food group of the China Observation Mission is more of a restaurant than a food group. Because most of the officers here are officers, and there is also the problem of the country's image, the food of the observation mission is very good, which is much better than the hard work of the army, at least equivalent to the level of the navy. Especially on the battlefield, such a sumptuous diet is even more rare, and after several exchanges and gatherings between countries became famous, officers from many other countries and the Entente countries often came here to eat.

Of course, in addition to the hospitality of the Chinese side, you have to pay for eating in private, and it is not cheap. But in this environment, even if it's more expensive, it's okay. You know, except for Chinese food groups, there is no other place in the vicinity that can have this kind of hearty food, and money can't buy it.

"Mr. Colonel, are you eating?" Seeing Yi Damao come in, an international student who was acting as a waiter came over and asked. Many of the waiters here are Chinese students and overseas Chinese recruited locally in France.

"Yes, what are you doing today?" After Yi Damao sat down, he asked Sophie to order. Because there are many "international friends" who come to visit, the menu is also written in Chinese, English and French, and it is accompanied by color pictures, so you can understand it at a glance.

The dishes ordered by the two are also a combination of Chinese and Western, konjac roast duck, Yu Cai button pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, caramel milk and egg pudding, French vegetable salad, cheese ham crispy fried pork chop, seafood and vegetable soup.

After the food was served, the two chatted while eating.

"My dear, is all Chinese bread so delicious?" asked Sophie, blinking her pretty blue eyes and pointing to a piece of bread.

"Uh, isn't bread like this?" said Yi Damao disapprovingly. Because China has its own chef, he has been in France for so long, and he has not tried authentic European bread.

Sophie shook her head: "No. The bread we have here tastes closer to this one. And I don't know how to describe this Chinese bread, it's completely different from French bread anyway......"

"Oh, I don't know. Yi Damao smiled. He didn't know that European and American bread was completely different from his common East Asian bread, and the bread used as a staple food in Europe and the United States was closer to Chinese baked cakes, white Ji Bao and the like, all of which were white or had a very light taste, and East Asian bread was something that had undergone technological improvement and was closer to dim sum.

After the two finished eating, they continued to walk.

At this time, he suddenly saw that there was another unit at the bottom of the mountain and marching to the front line, but these people looked like Asians.

Yi Damao frowned, and couldn't help asking, "Sophie, where did these people come from?"

Sophie looked at the flag carefully and said, "The flag says the First Indochinese Brigade, this unit should have been transferred from Indochina......

"Hmm......" Yi Damao nodded, thinking: It seems that France is a little unable to hold on, and has begun to mobilize colonial troops.
