Expedition to Europe

From the bottom of his heart, Qin Zhiyuan disapproved of this version of "Lanfang March".

The song "March of the Soviets" was created by Americans, and Americans are also uneasy. Although the melody of the song "March of the Soviets" is majestic and can express a majestic and mighty image close to the Soviet Union, the meaning of the original lyrics is the same as It was almost an insult to the Soviet Union, focusing on promoting the Soviet Union's great-power chauvinism and racism, and excessively distorting the image of the former Soviet Union.

Qin Zhiyuan definitely didn't want Lan Fang to be labeled "big country chauvinism" or "racist", so Qin Zhiyuan never responded directly to this version of the lyrics.

The British and Italians were right. When Qin Zhiyuan "copied" this song, he did mark the lyrics. However, the first line was not "We Lanfang will punish the whole world", but "We the Soviets will punish the whole world". Punish the whole world-", after all, this is a song with a strong Russian style. At that time, Qin Zhiyuan just wanted to make a movie episode, but he did not think of it as Lanfang's national anthem.

As for how this lyrics spread, it has been four or five years since Qin Zhiyuan wrote this song, so it is probably impossible to find out——

Although he didn't like this version of the lyrics, Qin Zhiyuan really couldn't keep his face down when facing the enthusiastic people at the airport. He could only sigh in his heart, put a smile on his face, and waved to the crowd on the runway with Julie and Misha.

The atmosphere was really enthusiastic. More and more people joined the chorus. The music played by the military band could hardly be heard. Even the neat salute could not interrupt the chorus of tens of thousands of people. People on the runway looked at Qin Zhiyuan's The eyes are even more intense, with respect, admiration, and fanaticism——

To name a few.

Qin Zhiyuan, Julie and Misha looked at each other and could see the helplessness in each other's eyes. The two little guys were even more exaggerated. Qin Zhi was very excited now, babbling and wanting to join the chorus. The little princess did not speak, but smiled. The expression on his face coupled with the applause with fingers spread apart, looks encouraging no matter how you look at it.

If the expressions of these two little guys were photographed, there would probably be something to hype up on the front page of the newspaper tomorrow——

It has been filmed. There are still many news reporters at the scene, from various countries. There is even a photography team affiliated with the Lanfang Military Department to record everything at the scene with cameras.

These images will become precious historical materials for Lanfang in the future.

At the end of the song, the military band finally began to play the French national anthem.

Gaston Doumergue was already ready to sing along, but he unexpectedly discovered that people at the scene were still singing "Lanfang March" with no intention of stopping. Even the military band was overwhelmed by the momentum. The grand chorus went astray, making the performance of a good "La Marseillaise" seem a bit messy.

Songs such as "March" can, in principle, be repeated indefinitely. As long as people are willing, they can sing from sunrise to sundown——

However, Gaston Doumergue could no longer care about being angry. Qin Zhiyuan had already stepped off the gangway, and it was time for Gaston Doumergue to appear.

After accepting the flowers sent by the girl, he touched the girl's head affectionately and offered comfort. Qin Zhiyuan held Gaston Doumergue's hand as if they had gone through the same window together, carried a gun together, and gone to prostitutes together. The close buddies who shared the stolen goods together.

As for those discordant songs, neither Qin Zhiyuan nor Gaston Doumergue seemed to have heard them.

Gaston Doumergue prepared a guard of honor for Qin Zhiyuan, and he reviewed it with Qin Zhiyuan. After the review, it was time for the foreign legionnaires to come on stage.

When I walked in, I saw that these foreign legionnaires in uniforms were all disabled veterans. Some had broken hands and were now equipped with iron hooks. Some had broken legs, and now even more Wearing a pair of trousers that were a little too short, the prosthetic limbs were openly exposed, and the expression on his face was one of unreserved pride and glory.

As soon as these disabled veterans appeared, Qin Zhiyuan's eyes immediately turned red.

In fact, Qin Zhiyuan knows these people. Tong Wencheng, who had one of his legs blown off during the bloody battle at Kapi, still continued to fight, Lin Hemin, who had his hand cut off by the Germans during the Spring Offensive and still insisted on biting the enemy to death with his teeth, Champagne Andrew Hill, the sole survivor of the 22nd Regiment of the Foreign Legion, was wounded in eleven places during the Battle of Chalons——

These people are all comrades who fought side by side with Qin Zhiyuan. Some of them arrived in France on the same ship as Qin Zhiyuan. Some of them joined the Foreign Legion on the way and were later met by Qin Zhiyuan. Others were from France. ·The French soldiers assigned to the Foreign Legion by the Military Ministry at that time were all an integral part of the Foreign Legion.

When Qin Zhiyuan and Gaston Doumergue stood in front of these disabled veterans, the chorus sound finally disappeared, and all eyes were focused on the veterans who, although their bodies were incomplete, still had a standard military appearance.

"Mr. Commander, Private Tong Wencheng, 1st Company, 1st Platoon and 1st Battalion, 12th Battalion, 6th Infantry Regiment of the Foreign Legion, is reporting to you -" the voice of the leading veteran was still loud.

In fact, although he is a "veteran", he is still very young, even about the same age as Qin Zhiyuan.

Just being a "private soldier" is not worthy of people's attention, but with the previous numbers, you can walk sideways in the current Foreign Legion. No matter which unit you go to, you must be treated as an "old squad leader", even if you see Ba Both Stian and Bastian have to salute first.

If not for anything else, it was because of the medals that were almost lined up in the breastplate on his chest. Among them, the top one commemorating the founding of the 6th Regiment of the Foreign Legion alone was enough for Bastian to salute.

Qin Zhiyuan also has one such medal, but only 180 of the same medals were awarded in total, because when the 6th Infantry Regiment of the Foreign Legion was established, there were only 180 people in total.

Yes, the Sixth Infantry Regiment of the Foreign Legion was the designation of the Chinese when they joined the French Foreign Legion. Before the establishment of the Sixth Infantry Regiment, the French Foreign Legion had only five infantry regiments composed of African Persians and blacks. These five infantry regiments All took part in the 1917 rebellion and have now been The French Foreign Legion was abolished, so the 6th Infantry Regiment of the French Foreign Legion is now the oldest unit in the French Foreign Legion. Even Qin Zhiyuan and almost all the Chinese have now left the French Foreign Legion. The 6th Infantry Regiment of the French Foreign Legion Still the ace unit of the French army.

The veterans who hold the Sixth Regiment Memorial Medal are the oldest people in this unit.

Less than a hundred of these people are still alive, and only thirty-two are still serving. All of them are in the Lanfang Army, and the lowest rank is also a colonel.

The Tong Wencheng in front of Qin Zhiyuan stayed in Corsica after retiring due to injury. Although he is no longer in the military, Tong Wencheng now enjoys double pensions and special allowances from the French government and the Lanfang government, plus "LLL "The company's annual dividends make Tong Wencheng's life very comfortable.

"Please rest a moment -" Qin Zhiyuan returned the greeting with a meticulous gesture. Now is not the time to reminisce about the past. If we want to reminisce about the past, we have to do it at night.

"Mr. Commander, Corporal Lin Hemin from D Company, 2nd Battalion, 9th Regiment, 2nd Brigade, Foreign Legion, would like to report to you -" The second veteran continued to list his qualifications.

This is also a senior qualification. In 1917, Nivelle launched the spring offensive. At that time, Qin Yunpeng's second brigade was used as cannon fodder by Nivelle. The second brigade was almost wiped out. Qin Yunpeng also sadly returned to the Republic of China. All the remnants of the second brigade were merged into the second brigade. 1st Brigade, the 1st Division of the Foreign Legion was established.

It was then that Lin Hemin joined Qin Zhiyuan.

"Please rest a moment -" Qin Zhiyuan remained serious.

"Mr. Commander——"

The almost ostentatious report continued. Each veteran shouted out to Qin Zhiyuan their service number. Each number represented a period of foreign legion history and a glorious team.

These teams may have been disbanded now, but the history, like the people who passed away, will always live in people's hearts.

After the report, there is a gun drill performance. Gun drill is really the best performance to show the military demeanor. It can not only fully demonstrate the quality of soldiers, but also has a certain degree of appreciation. It is most suitable for such an occasion.

Before Qin Zhiyuan came to the Foreign Legion, the Foreign Legion had a gun drill performance, but it was just a simple formation display with only a few shoulder and gun-holding movements. There were not many fancy performances, and the viewing value was not high. .

After Qin Zhiyuan came to the Foreign Legion, he formulated a standard gun drill procedure, which has now become the repertoire of the Foreign Legion.

Qin Zhiyuan's gun drill performance movements include a large number of one-handed gun holding, rotation, and hand changes. Some moves even require the cooperation of teammates to complete. Unless you are very familiar with the rifle in your hand, you can successfully complete the gun operation.

The small group of foreign legionnaires at the scene are all disabled soldiers. Some of them have broken hands and are now equipped with iron hooks. Some of them use prosthetic limbs. Although there is definitely no problem in standing, it is definitely impossible to complete complex steps. .

This team performed a simplified version of gun drills, removing almost all the queue performances and only showing off their skills.

It has to be said that rifles are really more familiar to these soldiers than their own wives. Even Lin Hemin, who has now replaced one hand with an iron hook, still plays with the one-meter-long rifle in his hand. It's like a flower blooming.

The key is that these rifles are equipped with bayonets, so the total length is close to one meter and three meters. If you are not careful, there will be a collision, and if you are not careful, you will be accidentally injured.

But it's obvious that for these veterans, it doesn't matter whether they have a bayonet or not. Maybe they like the redness of the bayonet. Without a bayonet, they can't play so smoothly. Especially Lin Hemin, his iron hook wrist is relatively smooth. Originally, it was The most difficult thing to control was that in Lin Hemin's hands, the rifle was like a part of Lin Hemin's body, flying and spinning in the air at will without falling to the ground.

They were really skillful. When the veterans finished the gun drill and returned to their upright posture, the cheers this time were really loud.

Much louder than when Gaston Doumergue had just been welcomed.
