Expedition to Europe

The Lan Fang military took great care of these German instructors.

Not only houses, but also personal daily necessities were available, not to mention toothbrushes, toothpaste, towels, tea cups, and even phonographs and the latest washing machines that were rare in Germany.

Of course, clothes were also indispensable. When Rommel and his men came, they only brought a few sets of casual clothes with them. Lan Fang had thoughtfully prepared everything from underwear to coats for them, including casual clothes based on "hunter" clothing, solemn and straight formal clothes, and Lan Fang military uniforms with military ranks.

When the last door on the ground floor was opened, a "Bulldog" jeep came into view.

Almost immediately, Rommel fell in love with this big guy with a low body and a ferocious shape.

In fact, Germany also has cars now, but due to the lack of fuel, cars are rarely seen in Germany.

Although Rommel did not have a special car when he was in the army due to his military rank, he was not unfamiliar with cars.

Rommel was very interested in industrial masterpieces. Although he didn't have a car of his own before, it didn't mean that Rommel didn't yearn for it. Now Lan Fang parked such a big guy in Rommel's garage, which was obviously for Rommel to use. So Rommel immediately forgot about coffee and the beach and jumped into the car to go out for a ride.

There was a stone-paved path at the door of the garage, which led directly to the avenue of the community where Rommel lived. Rommel didn't hesitate and drove the "Matador" directly onto the avenue, ready to go out for a ride.

It was impossible to drive fast, because the avenue was already crowded with "Matadors" at this time. The instructors found the cars assigned to them almost at the same time, and almost all chose to go out for a ride at the first time.

It was really "car-filled".

Since he couldn't walk, Rommel simply parked the car on the side of the road and got off to chat with familiar people.

"Hey, Singer, your clothes are really handsome." Rommel has a good relationship with people and knows a lot of people.

"How is it? I hope it looks good. After all, we will wear this outfit for many years to come." Singer stood at attention, raised his head and looked at Rommel.

Singer was Rommel's comrade in the Royal Army of the Kingdom of Württemberg. The two were old friends and knew each other very well. Compared with Rommel who was still wearing casual clothes, Singer undoubtedly wanted to get into a new life faster. Now Singer has changed into a set of Lanfang Army uniforms, with tough combat boots, loose breeches, slightly tight tops, and wide belts. He looks very energetic indeed.

"Put the hat lower, cover your eyes, right... that's it, very good..." Rommel helped Singer adjust the position of the hat until the hat covered his eyes. Singer needed to raise his head slightly to see Rommel and he was satisfied.

"Oh, does this feel too arrogant? Just like that guard... God, are all Lanfang people so arrogant?" Singer felt a little uncomfortable.

Not far from Rommel and Singer, there was a guard standing by the road. The guard only wore a shirt and military pants, and did not carry any weapons. It seemed that his most important task was to show the way to the Germans who had just arrived in Lan Fang.

Although the guard's rank was only a sergeant, he chose to stand in a straddle position, and his hat covered his eyes as usual. If he wanted to communicate with others, he had to raise his chin to look at people. This way of looking at people really gave people a feeling of pride.

"They have reasons to be arrogant! If we defeat them on the battlefield, then we can be so arrogant too!" Rommel answered a little resentfully, and it seemed that he had some resentment in his heart.

As a soldier, Rommel certainly knew the record of the German army and the Foreign Legion in the world war, which made Rommel feel that he was unwilling to give up in admiration, so when the German General Staff began to select soldiers to teach in Lan Fang, Rommel signed up without hesitation, just to get to know the Lan Fang army in depth and see how powerful they were.

Although it was only half a day since he arrived in Lan Fang, Rommel seemed to have felt the reason why the Lan Fang army was strong. They could achieve perfection in all details. Such an army was strong no matter how you looked at it, and it must be strong.

While Rommel and Singer were chatting, some other instructors were also chatting beside the avenue. Although Rommel and those people were all Germans, they didn't greet each other much, as if there was an invisible gap separating them.

Not far from Rommel and Singer, there were several people chatting in a group, laughing from time to time, and they looked very excited.

"A bunch of rubbish, if I were them, I wouldn't have the face to come out and see people..." Singer said disdainfully.

Singer and Rommel both knew those people. Those people were from Berlin, unlike Singer and Rommel from Württemberg. Specifically, it was this group of people who suffered repeated defeats on the Western Front that led to Germany's difficult situation in the World War.

During the World War, Rommel and Singer served in Romania and Italy. Their armies never confronted the foreign legions and they always won.

"Just do our own thing and don't give others the opportunity to laugh at us." Rommel was open-minded and didn't plan to fight for pride.

"Have you heard that some of us are going to serve in the Lanfang Army and join the staff of the Lanfang Army? How about it? Do you want to go?" Singer had some inside information.

"Of course, it's much better to join the army than to stay in school. If I can, I would like to join the army." Rommel did not hesitate.

"Then you should act quickly. I heard that there are not many places available." Singer said without hesitation.

"Why, you don't plan to go?" Rommel heard Singer's hesitation.

"No, I don't want to go, at least not now. I think I need to rest for a while before making a decision." Singer was just too tired.

"Well, I think I have to do something, otherwise it will be too late." Rommel jumped into the car and drove back.

The next day, the Penglai Island Command of the Army.

A major looked at Rommel's transfer report and looked up at Rommel standing in front of his desk from time to time.

Rommel's rank was also major, the same as this officer's, but this officer did not mean to ask Rommel to sit down, and Rommel himself still maintained a respectful attitude.

In fact, Rommel was a very serious German, very German, but Rommel had no disrespect for the major in front of him, even though the major had a broken hand.

"Erwin Johannes Eugen Rommel, you want to join the Lanfang Army and serve in the front-line troops, right?" The major said word by word.

"Yes, sir, if possible, I want to join the Lanfang Army, I think I have the qualifications." Rommel was firm.

"I am indeed qualified, you have an excellent resume." The major spoke slowly, showing that he was careful in his wording: "But at present, the work contract you signed with the Lanfang Military Department is limited to educational services, and there are no other aspects. You must know that if you serve in the front-line troops, then if Lanfang and other countries go to war again, you will have the responsibility to charge forward, and there is no reason to shirk. Are you willing to accept such a result?"

The original text can be read in Liu # 9 @shu/ba!

"If the object of the battle is not Germany, I will fulfill my duties." Rommel considered this issue.

This is actually the practice of the Foreign Legion. Generally speaking, the Foreign Legion has an avoidance principle, that is, when the Foreign Legion goes to war with a certain country, the Foreign Legion members from the country concerned have the right to avoid the war and not participate in combat operations against their home country.

"Of course, if Lan Fang and Germany are in a state of hostility, you can avoid it. Although the possibility is very small, we should still consider it. By the way, do you want to join the Foreign Legion or the real Lan Fang troops?" The major asked in detail.

"Is there any difference?" Rommel wanted to know more.

"To be honest, if we talk about treatment, the difference is not big, but from a literal meaning, the Foreign Legion is composed of soldiers from other countries, while the Lan Fang troops are composed of real Lan Fang people. There is still a difference between the two." The major's language has the meaning of abduction.

It can't be said to be abduction, but in the current Lan Fang, immigration is the main choice. If possible, the Lan Fang government and the Lan Fang military are working hard to increase the population base of Lan Fang.

Being selected from millions of German soldiers to be sent to Lan Fang as instructors, the major knew the value of Rommel and his gang. No matter from which aspect, if possible, the Lan Fang government and the Lan Fang military would very much like to change the nationality of these people to Lan Fang.

"... Sorry, I love my country deeply." Obviously, Rommel's answer was a bit struggling.

To be honest, changing nationality is a very normal thing at this time. No matter when, those with professional skills are extremely popular in countries all over the world.

But there will always be some people who love their motherland deeply and will not climb high branches because of the temporary weakness of their motherland. Such people are more worthy of respect.

"In this case, then you can choose to join the Foreign Legion and serve in the front-line troops of the Foreign Legion." The major gave the answer.

"Sir, please forgive me for being rude, I still want to join the front-line troops of Lan Fang. Although I will not change my nationality, I will not refuse my duties when necessary." Rommel still wants to know the real strength of the Lan Fang army.

The major frowned slightly and was about to say something when a lieutenant knocked on the door and handed the major a folder.

Rommel's eyesight was still good. He could see that there seemed to be several names on it, but unfortunately, Rommel did not see clearly who it was.

"Your name is Rommel...Okay, Mr. Rommel, please report to the Lan Fang military headquarters on time tomorrow and accept the military's job assignment." The major agreed straightforwardly.

"Then..." Rommel wanted to confirm.

"Yes, you can join the Lan Fang Army, the front-line troops, not the Foreign Legion." The major smiled.

"Excuse me, can I know what is written on it?" Rommel was a little curious.

"Sir, if you want to join the Lan Fang Army, then don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't listen to what you shouldn't listen to, and don't say what you shouldn't say. This is the basic principle." The major was serious.

Well, this was the first lesson the major taught Rommel.
