I was a tycoon in World War I: Starting to save France.

Two rows of torches were neatly inserted on both sides of the runway, like two rows of guards, indicating the position and direction of the plane.

After a while, a little "rumbling" engine sound came from the air, and then it became louder and closer.

Gallieni looked up at the dark sky and unconsciously took two steps forward, but was stopped by the guard: "General, it will be dangerous if you get too close!"

Galieni said "um" and retreated as he was told.

The pilot could not see anything in the dark night. He only had the two rows of torches in his eyes. If someone stood on the side of the runway, he would probably be cut into two pieces by the passing wing, no matter if he was a soldier or a general.

Finally, the plane appeared in the night, and the altitude was getting lower and lower. The people below could see it, although it was still a blurry black shadow.

The plane seemed to have not grasped the angle for the first landing. It seemed to lower the altitude to land, but soon gave up, immediately pulled up and turned twice in the air, and then landed again and stopped steadily on the runway.

Galieni and a group of soldiers immediately surrounded it.

In the light of the fire, Gallieni saw a man standing up from the cabin from a distance. It was the little guy. He breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart finally settled down.

Then Gallieni found out awkwardly that he had considered all the safety issues, but he didn't think of bringing clothes for Charles.

The latter was wearing pajamas and hugging a pillow, shivering in the cold wind.

Gallieni didn't hesitate. He quickened his pace and took off his military jacket. He took two steps at a time and went to Charles to put it on, comforting him: "It's okay, little guy, we're home, it's okay!"

"General!" Charles trembled uncontrollably, and his teeth chattered: "I left my uniform and weapons... in Antwerp, and there's also a mission report...!"

Gallieni laughed. Was he still thinking about the mission report?

"A few more clothes!" Gallieni turned his head and shouted.

Dozens of coats were immediately handed to Gallieni, and then Charles was carried into the car like a dumpling, with Gallieni's general hat on his head.

Charles was a little embarrassed. He must be embarrassed in this way. He made a fool of himself in front of so many people. But strangely, the people around him looked at him with respect.

When the car started, Charles turned around with difficulty and shouted to Eric: "I will come to you, Uncle Eric!"

"Okay!" Eric waved and replied: "I'm waiting for you here, little guy!"

At this time, Charles didn't know that he didn't need to come here to find Eric. Eric, as a pilot who sent Charles to Antwerp, was of course on Gallieni's suspicion list, although he sent Charles back again.

The car was driving on the way back to the headquarters, with cavalry leading the way in front and guards standing on both sides. The whole road was blocked.

Gallieni, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, was silent for a long time, and suddenly laughed. He turned his head slightly and asked Charles in the back seat: "I heard that you did some great things in Belgium and won a Royal Crown Medal?"

Charles remembered the medal at this time, and he replied angrily: "I lost it in Antwerp!"

Galieni laughed: "Don't worry, Lieutenant, it won't be lost! The king will send it back to you!"

"What?" Charles didn't understand.

Galieni explained: "During the more than three hours you were on the plane, a lot of things happened in Antwerp. Antwerp knew about General Gies's conspiracy!"

Charles said "hmm".

This was within his expectations. General Winter was not alone. He brought a 10,000-man army. After Charles left safely, they would of course reveal the truth as quickly as possible.

"Want to know what happened to General Gies?" Gallieni asked.

"He was dismissed?" Charles guessed.

Gallieni smiled and replied, "Yes, he was dismissed!"

This little guy actually thought that putting a benefactor who saved the whole city under house arrest, and even repaying his kindness with hatred to hand him over to the Germans, and finally forcing him away and putting Antwerp in injustice and danger... Such treason is just dismissal?

General Guise was not dismissed at all. Before Albert I dismissed him, angry people rushed into his headquarters and pulled him out, almost beating him to death.

It was Albert I who saved him, because the king hoped that General Guise could be tried in front of everyone, especially to find out the mastermind behind the scenes and more accomplices.

But Albert I was soon disappointed. After General Guise was sent to the hospital, he was cut open by a scalpel more than a dozen times without morphine, and each cut perfectly avoided the vital parts. The doctor said that this was to find broken bones, but unfortunately they were not found.

General Guise finally breathed his last in pain and despair...

It seems unnecessary to let the little guy know these things, just think of it as dismissal, but it was dismissed by God!

Galieni took out a piece of paper from his body and handed it to the back, saying: "This is a telegram sent to you by Albert I. He apologizes to you and says that he will send back your uniform, items and medals!"

Charles took the telegram and stuffed it into any pocket because he couldn't see it clearly in the dark. Anyway, he already knew the content.

"But maybe you don't need that uniform!" Gallieni cast his eyes thoughtfully at the buildings on both sides.

Charles didn't ask any more questions because the car had already stopped at the entrance of the headquarters. With the help of others, Charles returned to his dormitory and wrapped himself in a quilt. After drinking two glasses of hot milk, he felt warmer and then fell into a daze. Fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Charles understood what Gallieni said last night about "no need for that military uniform." The orderly Adrian sent Charles two new sets of military uniforms, including revolvers, etc. Full set of equipment.

Charles was a little confused, why two sets of military uniforms? He only lost one set and there is another set in the dormitory!

After putting on the military uniform, Charles realized that there was an extra gold thread on the cuffs, which also meant... that he was already a lieutenant!

Gallieni watched with satisfaction as Charles walked into the combat headquarters wearing his new military uniform. The people in the headquarters applauded and cheered in unison:

"Well done, Ciel!"

"You have won honor for France!"

"They say sending one of you is much more effective than sending 10,000 people from the UK!"

…

Gallieni originally wanted to behave as fiercely as usual.

However, after thinking about it in his mind, he stepped forward and nodded in praise: "You performed very well in Antwerp, Lieutenant, you deserve this! Do a good job!"

Charles was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately understood that Gallieni did not think it was necessary to perform for the capitalists anymore.

After all, no matter what, the capitalists will make them their enemies, this is unavoidable.

"Yes, General!" Charles stood up and replied, his voice finally no longer trembling.

"Today is your holiday!" Gallieni took out his pocket watch, glanced at it, and said, "Go back after breakfast. Your parents should be waiting for you at home!"

"Yes, General!" Charles replied, his face a little confused. He thought he had just returned to the headquarters to serve.
