Expedition to Europe

In the early morning, Qin Zhiyuan crawled out of the tent. After washing, he began to arrange his blanket in front of the tent.

On the third day at the front line, Qin Zhiyuan and the others have fully demonstrated their worth. Now except for military uniforms, all equipment is no different from French soldiers.

One-liter kettles, M2 gas masks, 1895-style military shovels, military blankets, backpacks, raincoats, gloves, tents, etc. As long as the French army has it, Qin Zhiyuan and the others have it.

Just last night, Qin Zhiyuan expressed his desire to join the Foreign Legion to Captain Falcao at Capi Military Station. Falcao was not optimistic about this, but because of the increasing value shown by Qin Zhiyuan and others, he still filed a report. However, according to Falcao, even if the application is approved, Qin Zhiyuan and the others will have to go to overseas territories to station themselves first and cannot directly participate in the war in France because there is no such precedent.

Qin Zhiyuan was not disappointed. It would be better to go to overseas territories. In that case, he would avoid the Somme River, which is like a "meat grinder".

"Dear Qin, I'm so happy to see you. I heard that you worked late last night. Why don't you take a rest?" The captain came to see Qin Zhiyuan early in the morning. It seemed like nothing happened.

Qin Zhiyuan was busy until five o'clock in the morning yesterday. When the doctors who changed shifts came to work, Qin Zhiyuan returned to the tent. He rested for only two hours and got up to the sound of the French army's bugle.

"Good morning, Captain Falcao." Although Falcao's character was not very good, Qin Zhiyuan still maintained basic respect.

"Good morning, Qin, you are amazing! I just saw yesterday's medical records. Do you know how many people you saved yesterday?" Falcao showed a rare smile. To be honest, it was much uglier than when he didn't smile. .

"Uh...I didn't pay too much attention. You know, so many people need to be rescued, one after another. I don't have time to count the number." Qin Zhiyuan worked for 9 hours continuously yesterday. Considering that he had been rescued since returning from the front line, Start working, the intensity is amazing.

French people are romantic by nature. Even French soldiers, when fighting, are just like clocking in to work. They come on time and leave after get off work. They will never take the initiative to work overtime. In such a comparison, Qin Zhiyuan's work attitude is simply outstanding. No wonder Falcao changed his attitude. The people Qin Zhiyuan treated were all French. As a soldier, Falcao was grateful to Qin Zhiyuan.

"A total of 135 soldiers. In 9 hours, you saved the lives of 135 soldiers and 135 families." Falcao couldn't help but applaud and praise. Other French soldiers around him also applauded. Falcao straightened his clothes. Then he faced Qin Zhiyuan with one hand on his chest and bowed: "Please accept my humble gratitude and thank the Lord for sending you from the Far East to France."

"Angel, you are so kind!"

"Thank God, thank the angels!"

"Please accept our humble thanks!" The surrounding French soldiers bowed to Qin Zhiyuan and thanked him. Although they were suspected of making fun of him, their thanks were sincere.

"Don't be like this, Falcao. Don't be like this, guys, you're making me feel embarrassed. I just did what I was supposed to do. Working for the French government is a duty stipulated in my contract." Facing everyone Salute, Qin Zhiyuan is a little embarrassed. As an agent, he had always lived in the shadows and was not used to being the center of attention.

Although he was a little embarrassed, Qin Zhiyuan was still very happy. It is really a joyful thing to help others and gain happiness.

"No! Qin, you have done far beyond your duties. I know your contract. According to the contract, the job of you and your guys is to carry artillery shells, dig trenches, carry stretchers and so on. At present, you and your What our guys have done is far beyond that. Your value cannot be reflected in dirty labor work, but should play a greater role." Falcao said, his eyes glancing across the distance intentionally or unintentionally. India borrows labor.

When Qin Zhiyuan and others arrived in Kapi, there were many Indian borrowed workers in Kapi. At that time, the status of Chinese workers and Indian borrowed workers was the same. Now only two days have passed, and every four Chinese workers have been assigned a tent. The individual equipment of the Chinese workers is the same as that of the French regular army. Many of them have taken off their numbered prison-style labor uniforms and replaced them with khaki. Shirts and overalls, on the surface, they are not much different from the French.

As for the Indian laborers, although they have been coming to Kapi for a long time, and many of them even arrived in France a year ago, they still have eight people crowded into a small tent, wearing numbered prison uniforms. They wear labor uniforms, wear turbans that have remained unchanged for thousands of years, and receive a daily salary of seven francs... Maybe their daily salary is only five francs. Chinese workers are exploited by Yimin Company in China, and the same is true for Indians. The British East India Company was much more ruthless than the Chinese Yimin Company.

"Dear Falcao, you know, in the eyes of God, everyone in the world is the same." Qin Zhiyuan vaguely reminded Falcao not to engage in racial discrimination.

Racial discrimination doesn't hurt as long as it doesn't fall on you. If possible, Qin Zhiyuan really wants Europeans to see South Africa in later generations. But in the early 20th century, no one could have imagined that white people would one day experience the pain of discrimination.

"They don't believe in God, they only believe in Hinduism, so the light of God cannot shine on them." As a loyal Christian believer, Falcao has his own values.

"Oh... that's a pity." Qin Zhiyuan would definitely not discuss religious issues with Falcao now. Since being called an "angel", Qin Zhiyuan has been a faithful Christian believer. Qin Zhiyuan does not want to let the efforts of the past few days go to waste because of religious issues.

Regarding religious issues, Qin Zhiyuan does not have a firm position on this issue. Qin Zhiyuan is an atheist, or in other words, if necessary, Qin Zhiyuan can change religion at any time, from Taoism to Christianity, or Hinduism, etc. It doesn't matter what sect he believes in, as long as it can bring benefits to the Chinese workers.

"Okay, I think I can start working." Qin Zhiyuan handed the packed backpack to Gao Hongshi, and then prepared to start a day's work.

Mao Shiba and others had already started working. Qin Zhiyuan drove all 18 people who knew two medical skills to the wounded camp, and selected 40 to 50 people to help. These people are the medical support team of the Chinese Brigade or Chinese Division in the future.

"Dear Qin, although I really want you to continue to rescue the wounded, there are more important things that need your help now." Falcao spread his hands and made a helpless gesture.

"What's the matter?" Qin Zhiyuan put down the medical bag in his hand and motioned Gao Hongshi to bring the backpack over.

"First of all, I want to tell you an unfortunate news. Lieutenant David Edward was killed in the battle an hour ago. Major Bastien's troops suffered heavy casualties in the continuous attack of the German army. They have no reinforcements. The nearest British are 50 kilometers away and can only arrive at night at the earliest. So, Major Bastien, please go to support them." As a regular army, Falcao was embarrassed to ask for labor support, because this blushed like a pound of whiskey.

"David..." Qin Zhiyuan felt a little uncomfortable when he heard the news of David's death.

Thinking of the enthusiastic young man with freckles on his face, Qin Zhiyuan looked sad. David was the first Frenchman Qin Zhiyuan met after landing. Dawei once said: If Qin Zhiyuan and others continue to work as laborers, he will apply for retirement. Now it's all right, he doesn't need to apply.

"Gather the combat team and the auxiliary team, there's work to do." After Qin Zhiyuan gave Gao Hongshi instructions, he returned to the tent and picked up his 98A rifle.
