Expedition to Europe

Qin Zhiyuan and Pierre chatted all the way, and they had a great time.

Several times, Pierre wanted to bring up Julie, but Qin Zhiyuan changed the subject. It wasn't that Qin Zhiyuan was avoiding, but that he was uncertain. Not only for the relationship between men and women, but also for the future after the war.

Qin Zhiyuan is an Oriental, and if there is no accident after the war, Qin Zhiyuan will return to China. If he is sure of his relationship with Julie or Misha now, what will happen to Julie and Misha when Qin Zhiyuan leaves?

Misha is okay, her identity is not sensitive, and she may follow Qin Zhiyuan back to China. But Julie, she is Foch's daughter, and it is not easy for her to follow Qin Zhiyuan back to China.

When Qin Zhiyuan was young, his parents were away from home for a long time because of work. Qin Zhiyuan suffered enough from the suffering of "left-behind children", and he didn't want his children to experience it again in the future.

Some pains are enough once.

Foch's image still looks so bad, with unshaven beard and unkempt appearance.

Foch was very happy to see Qin Zhiyuan. He postponed his work and met Qin Zhiyuan in his office.

"Qin, you did a great job! It's amazing. With less than 3,000 people, you completed the task that 30,000 people couldn't complete." Foch praised Qin Zhiyuan generously.

After the Sixth Regiment captured Herbecourt, the French divisions on both wings responsible for the containment operation were eager to launch several attacks half-truthfully. The result was not satisfactory. The two divisions, with a total of 30,000 people, fought for a whole day and couldn't even attack the German position. The contrast was huge.

"This is not my credit alone, but also Pierre's." Qin Zhiyuan didn't mind sharing it with Pierre.

"Haha, Pierre is not bad, but you did better." Foch also valued his son very much.

Foch didn't want to endure the pain of losing his son again, so he arranged Pierre in the Sixth Regiment's staff. This was an unspoken agreement between Qin Zhiyuan and Foch. Qin Zhiyuan took care of Pierre, and Foch took care of Qin Zhiyuan.

Westerners actually have a lot of twists and turns.

"In recognition of your contribution, Qin, the Army Department has decided to grant you the rank of major general." Foch said solemnly.

During the war, many people will be temporarily awarded senior military ranks. If they do well, they will become permanent ranks. If they are not capable, they will be demoted after the war.

"I am honored." Qin Zhiyuan stood straight.

"Do a good job. You are the fourth general of the Foreign Legion and the only foreign general. Many people are paying attention to you." Foch was about to say something but stopped.

Next, Foch reported a good news. With the approval of the French Army Department, Qin Zhiyuan's Sixth Regiment is now upgraded to the First Brigade of the Foreign Legion and is still under Foch's command.

The establishment of the First Brigade means that Qin Zhiyuan will have two regiments under his command, which are numbered as the Sixth Regiment and the Seventh Regiment in the Foreign Legion. At the same time, as a brigade-level unit, Qin Zhiyuan can finally have an artillery unit under his command.

Soon, Qin Zhiyuan understood what Foch meant by "many people are paying attention to you".

After leaving the headquarters, Qin Zhiyuan and Pierre separated temporarily. Pierre went to handle some paperwork for the upgrade, and Qin Zhiyuan wanted to talk to the two Garcias.

As soon as they went out, Qin Zhiyuan and Misha were surrounded by a group of white robes.

"Uh, what can I do for you?" Qin Zhiyuan was puzzled.

This group of people, both men and women, all looked to be in their forties or fifties, with graceful faces, serious expressions, and crosses hanging around their necks. They looked like either priests or nuns.

"Qin, why did you refuse the Pope's summons?" The leader shouted sternly

This person looked familiar, but Qin Zhiyuan couldn't remember where he had seen him, and what he said made Qin Zhiyuan even more confused.

"What Pope's summons?" Qin Zhiyuan could swear that there was no such thing.

"Don't pretend to be confused, Qin, although you have achieved some achievements, you can't be proud."

"Qin, you are an angel, how can you do this?"

"Qin, you are really too much."

The white robes began to denounce, and Qin Zhiyuan was speechless.

"Please speak one by one, at least let me know what happened." Qin Zhiyuan was a little overwhelmed. Although this group of people only verbally condemned, the feeling of being watched by others was very uncomfortable.

"Why did you refuse the Pope's summons? Although you are an angel, you have no right to do so." The leader said righteously.

Hearing the word "angel", Qin Zhiyuan suddenly remembered who this person was. This person was the bishop of the area in Kapi, and his name seemed to be "Reid Auerbach".

"Mr. Reid?" Qin Zhiyuan asked tentatively.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

"Father Reid." Auerbach corrected seriously.

"Hello, Father, please forgive my impoliteness. I have been on the front line all this time. I was still fighting four days ago. I really don't know what happened." Qin Zhiyuan did not lie. Four days ago, Qin Zhiyuan was indeed commanding the attack on Elbecourt.

"You don't know what happened?" Auerbach seemed serious, but Qin Zhiyuan keenly discovered that he was actually relieved.

"Yes, I don't know what happened to make you so excited." Qin Zhiyuan affirmed.

"The Pope has invited you to the Vatican. The Pope will personally present you with a medal. Could it be that the invitation letter was not delivered to you?" Orbach resumed his honorific address. From this point of view, Orbach has forgiven Qin Zhiyuan.

Or it can be said that Auerbach did not want Qin Zhiyuan to be deliberately neglectful. After all, Auerbach discovered and reported Qin Zhiyuan's deeds. If Qin Zhiyuan deliberately neglected the Holy See, then Auerbach would not be able to get any good. At that time, a good thing would turn into a bad thing.

"I have never seen an invitation letter, and no one has ever mentioned this to me." If the Pope really sent an invitation letter to Qin Zhiyuan, Qin Zhiyuan would definitely go to Italy, even if Italy is now in a state of chaos.

There is no need to deny the status of Christianity in the West. If Qin Zhiyuan wants to gain the recognition of Western society, then Qin Zhiyuan must have a belief, even if this belief has nothing to do with Christianity, Qin Zhiyuan must find one. For Westerners, it is incredible to have no belief, and they will not accept such a person.

"Never seen it? How is it possible? The invitation letter was sent out ten days ago." Auerbach was indignant and more surprised than Qin Zhiyuan.

"But I really haven't seen the invitation letter. If I knew about this, I would definitely not be rude." Qin Zhiyuan was really puzzled.

"Wait, there must be something wrong there, let's sort it out." Orbach muttered in a mysterious way, and the white robes around him were a little embarrassed.

If Qin Zhiyuan really didn't know about this, then the white robes' behavior just now was too rude. Moreover, this kind of thing is not easy to investigate. No matter which link is wrong, it may lead to serious consequences.

The influence of the Holy See in secular society is no longer as great as before.
