Expedition to Europe

Qin Zhiyuan is Chinese.

Even Qin Zhiyuan felt that Corsica was completely assimilated to the Chinese culture, not to mention Pierre, who was French. No wonder Pierre protested to Qin Zhiyuan. If Pierre and Qin Zhiyuan were swapped, Qin Zhiyuan would probably want to fight.

So it seems that Pierre is still very gentlemanly.

Of course, it is probably because he couldn't beat Qin Zhiyuan that played a major role.

From the moment he got off the plane, Pierre had a stinky face and looked at everyone with a bad face.

Qin Zhiyuan didn't mean to take care of Pierre's mood. After getting on the car and leaving the airport, he asked the driver to drive the car around Thunder City to see what this city he planned has become now.

It is indeed beautiful. The small trees planted a few years ago have now grown to a certain size. It can be seen that someone is still carefully managing them. All the landscape trees have been carefully trimmed into different shapes. They are not too tall and have different shapes. They are in sharp contrast with the neatly trimmed street gardens in the middle of the road.

In May and June, the flowers in the street garden are in full bloom, red, pink and yellow, beautiful, against the green trees on the roadside, white walls and blue roofs on the roadside, the color combination is very pleasing to the eye.

The city supporting facilities in Leiting City are probably the most complete in the whole of Europe. This city is built on the mountain with a small slope, and the water supply and drainage system is complete. The traffic lights at the intersection are not intelligently controlled, but manual. If pedestrians want to cross the road, they only need to press the button on the traffic light column on the roadside, and the red light will automatically light up, and pedestrians can pass safely.

The police system, fire system and medical system of the entire city are also the most advanced. There are few police on the streets, but if someone calls the police, the police will appear within five minutes. The medical system is also clearly graded. There are community hospitals for minor illnesses and Class A hospitals for major illnesses. This is common sense known to all Leiting citizens.

When Qin Zhiyuan led the Foreign Legion to Corsica, the first thing he established was a medical school. After a few years, Corsica really had no shortage of doctors, and the entire Lanfang medical system could be called advanced.

With such complete supporting facilities, compared with other European cities, the citizens of Lei Ting can really be said to live in paradise. No wonder Corsica's reputation is getting bigger and bigger.

Of course, the greater the reputation of Corsica, the more uncomfortable it is for people like Pierre who "worry about the country and the people".

Lei Ting City has a dock. The former GK District was a standard military zone because of martial law. Now with the withdrawal of the Foreign Legion, the dock of Lei Ting City has been restored to civilian use. The docks are no longer warships, but various yachts, and there are even yachts with a length of one or two hundred meters. I don't know which rich man's private property they are.

A group of statues on the pier are very conspicuous, reflecting the scene when the Foreign Legion landed, the Corsican locals attacked the Foreign Legion officers and soldiers with stones, and the medical staff and soldiers in the Foreign Legion helped each other to save themselves.

Qin Zhiyuan still remembers that the injured female nurse was called Cartier.

Cartier was seriously injured at the time, and retired from the Foreign Legion not long after, and then settled in Thunder City and married a policeman in Thunder City. Now Cartier is a councilor of Thunder City and is serving Thunder City in another way.

Although no one died in that incident, it did not prevent people from commemorating that special period. When Qin Zhiyuan's motorcade arrived at the pier, a lot of flowers were placed in front of the statue of Cartier opening his arms to protect the wounded, and someone tied a red scarf around the neck of the statue.

Qin Zhiyuan also prepared flowers, which he picked casually in the street garden just now, and he didn't match them carefully. It was just a red rose, just to show his heart.

When they arrived at such a place, the atmosphere became obviously solemn. Even Pierre straightened his chest and saluted with Qin Zhiyuan.

There were reporters nearby, and citizens watching from afar. Everyone, including the mayor of Thunder City, stayed far away from Qin Zhiyuan and Pierre, giving them enough space.

"I seem to understand a little bit - your feelings for this place." Pierre whispered.

To be honest, the group of statues in front of them were not clearly portrayed, and even the faces were not carefully carved. The sculptor emphasized the tension reflected by the overall image and the key portrayal of the movements. The veins on the open arms were exposed because of the force, and it was simply clear.

This is symbolic. This group of statues reflects not only what happened on the Corsica dock that day, but also the entire content of the Foreign Legion fighting in Europe. Whether healthy or injured, whether men or women, whether Oriental or Western, when faced with violence, people will always join hands to fight against evil brutality together.

"You need to understand more. You should know that we don't have as much inheritance as you do. Everything we want must be created by ourselves and built with our own hands. So Pierre, you should understand the desire of a group of abandoned homeless vagrants for a family. Corsica is our first place to settle in Europe. Not only me, but all the members of the Foreign Legion have deep feelings for this place. This is not only French territory, but also our home." Qin Zhiyuan was a little emotional.

Compared with the French, who have colonized the world for hundreds of years and have vast colonies, the Chinese do not have so much heritage to inherit. Even because of the stupidity of the previous dynasty, the Chinese were still repaying the debts left by the previous dynasty until the beginning of the World War, which is in stark contrast to the French.

It can be said that the Chinese are like a poor boy born in a poor family, while the French are like a rich second generation born in a wealthy family. The gap between the two is huge and cannot be mentioned in the same breath.

Of course, although the Chinese are now poor, their ancestors were the richest people in the world for thousands of years before, so the wealth of the Chinese is in their genes. Even if the current days are a bit difficult, as long as there is a chance, the Chinese will still turn over, while the wealth of the French is superficial. As long as there is a slight setback, France's prosperity will be unsustainable, just like the dilemma France is facing now.

"I have decided, I will go to Madagascar, I will build a new Corsica with my own hands!" Pierre is still ambitious.

As Foch's son, Pierre is actually well-informed. It is only because he is confined to the environment of France that Pierre appears narrow-minded. If Pierre jumps out of France and sets his sights on France's vast colonies, Pierre's future is limitless. After all, Pierre himself has abundant resources. Whether it is Qin Zhiyuan's financial resources or Foch's connections, they will provide Pierre with the greatest help.

"Very good, tell me what you need. I have people and money. I need you to have this idea." Qin Zhiyuan immediately took on the responsibility.

Although Madagascar is far away from the center of Eurasia, it is isolated outside the African continent after all. If it is well managed, it can be regarded as a foundation for inheritance. In addition to being tough on Germany, the French's current foreign policy is actually a bit soft, without the ruthlessness and determination of the Americans. This is also the reason why the colonial system in the world has been stable for too long. Until the moment of collapse, the French cannot feel the crisis.

In fact, in Qin Zhiyuan's impression, the collapse of the colonial system after World War II was certainly due to the weakening of the national strength of Britain and France, and the provocation after the rise of the United States and the Soviet Union cannot be ignored. Think about it, if the colonial system before World War II was maintained after World War II, the international status of the two poles of the world at that time would be extremely disproportionate to their national strength, so the Americans have a tradition of export.

In the era where Qin Zhiyuan lives, there is no need to think about the Soviet Union. It is estimated that this country will never appear again. The United States does not need to think about establishing the same hegemony as the other world. The existence of Lan Fang is the biggest obstacle for the United States. Americans may not realize this now, but at some point in the future, the Lan Fang people will definitely make a deep impression on Americans.

With all kinds of random thoughts, Qin Zhiyuan returned to the Eagle's Nest.

Time seemed to go back to four years ago, still the same place, still the same season, still the same Misha, but Geraldine was replaced by Qin De.

The air in Paris was so bad that Julie couldn't stay in Paris with Qin De. They returned to Corsica within two days.

The Olympics were in full swing, and the Lan Fang delegation was winning glory for the country. Qin Zhiyuan was too busy to come to the scene to help, but Julie still took time to watch two shooting and fencing games.

Fortunately, the delegation sent by Lan Fang was really powerful. In the two games that Julie attended, Lan Fang's athletes won gold medals, especially in the fencing arena. The athletes sent by Lan Fang had a martial arts family background. Although the weapons used by the two were not exactly the same, the principles were the same. The swordsman sent by Lan Fang beat his opponent without temper. Each round took no more than two minutes. In the first two rounds, the American swordsman even didn't score a point. It was not until the third round that his opponent symbolically scored a point.

It is estimated that this will be the game with the largest score difference in the history of fencing, unprecedented and unparalleled.

The Belgian royal family did not treat Julie badly. Julie was accompanied by the Belgian princess throughout her stay in Belgium. After the fencing competition, Julie and the Belgian princess also guest-starred as award presenters.

Compared with Julie's colorful life, Misha's life is much more monotonous. Fortunately, Misha has become accustomed to this monotony and enjoys it.

Seeing Misha, Pierre's mood is now calm. Of course, he is still affectionate to his nephew. He took the initiative to hug Qin De and left enough private space for Qin Zhiyuan and Misha.

Qin Zhiyuan and Misha did not need much private space. Qin Zhiyuan did not even say hello to Misha when he saw her. He continued to walk forward with a smile, and Misha gently held Qin Zhiyuan's arm.

It was still different from four years ago.
