Respectfully

Chapter 228

In mid-August, the Allies, represented by Britain and France, made a clear request to China for the first time to send troops.

More than a month ago, the first batch of American soldiers arrived in France and held a "massive" military parade on the streets of Paris.Contrary to the cheers of the crowd, the leaders and commanders of the Allied Powers were not optimistic about this cowboy team.

The leader of this army was John Pershing, known as "Black Jack". He strongly demanded that the American army must have the power to fight independently, breaking the British and French calculations of using American cowboys as cannon fodder.But not as cannon fodder, these American soldiers are simply not "suitable" for the European battlefield, fighting independently?It's almost like going to the battlefield to die.

Before fighting "independence", these American cowboys had to undergo military retraining. The training lasted for several months. It was not until early [-] that the American soldiers actually fired their first shots after arriving in the European continent.

During training, how to overcome the fear of poison gas is the most difficult hurdle for these American cowboys to overcome.

After [-], both sides would fire poison gas bombs into each other's positions when the conditions were right.Whether it is anti-virus measures or types of poisonous gas, the Germans have always been ahead.In July [-], the German army used mustard gas on the battlefield for the first time, and the appearance of the king of poison gas completely put the Allies at a disadvantage.

The tragedy of the British and French soldiers aggravated the fear of the American cowboys, and poison gas became something more terrifying than heavy artillery and machine guns.

Even if the officers of the Allied Powers told them that there were gas masks and better protective measures, the American cowboys were still dubious. This not only slowed down their training speed, but also delayed the time for American soldiers to go to the battlefield.

The war situation in Europe was not optimistic. The artillery on the Eastern Front stopped again. The internal chaos in Russia made it impossible for the Provisional Government to support the offensive on the front.The Allied forces on the western front were under increasing pressure, especially the French army, and mutiny could happen at any time.The British army was struggling alone, Italy was having a hard time on the southern front, and other European countries participating in the war were almost exhausted.Following in the footsteps of the United States and declaring war on the Allies, Latin American countries are well versed in the essence of soy sauce. No matter how loudly they shout, they are determined not to send troops, and even the materials to "support the front line" are handled.

Huaxia has become the greatest hope of Britain and France.

"Send troops?" Zhan Changqing was not surprised to see the British and French envoys and hear their request.

After declaring war on Germany, several leaders of the Chinese coalition government held a secret meeting in a small dark room. Lou Shengfeng, Song Zhou, and Sima Jun were all soldiers. After analyzing the war situation in Europe in detail, they More inclined to send troops.

"Your wealth is not revealed, but you are always hiding at home, and no one else knows how hard your fists are."

"What are the Japanese scumbags and Lao Maozi? Only when these Europeans are convinced, can we 'win'!"

One is to show the country's prestige, the other is to kill the Europeans to decide the outcome, and then come to China to share the delusional cake, and the third is to "divide things" after the war, right?If you want to get the best part, you must not only make the enemy lose their temper, but also convince your "own people".Seriously speaking, Huaxia and those Europeans are really not "our own people", but those who should be allocated can't be let out, and those who can't be allocated can be snatched but not let go!

"Borrowing soldiers" with these veteran ruffians, the Europeans think they can do something, but in fact they are seeking skins from tigers.After repelling the enemy, I'm afraid even their "old den" is at risk of being taken out.

"It depends on how you send troops." Song Zhou narrowed his eyes, "We can only discuss this matter if foreigners beg us to bleed more."

"Besides, when we send out troops, we must fight. Those who lead the troops must be our own people, and we cannot let those foreigners dictate what to do over our heads."

"All of these can be done, but," Sima Jun paused, "the first battle must be won, and it must be beautiful!"

After the words fell, the room fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on President Lou Da.

President Lou Da touched his bald head and grinned. Needless to say, everyone understood what he meant.

Before the British and French envoys came to the door, several heads of the Chinese coalition government agreed on the plan to send troops, sent secret messages to the inter-provincial governors, secretly assembled the troops to change their outfits in batches, and stepped up training, even if it was only through members of the military observation team and According to the tactical summary dictated by some intelligence personnel, the Chinese army is much more prepared than the American soldiers who only rely on "heroism" to go to the battlefield.

Infantry, cavalry, armored soldiers, pilots, all provinces that received orders, did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Go abroad to fight, raise the army's prestige, strengthen the country's prestige, and win the right to speak for China in the world. As a soldier, as a general, there is a duty to do so!

When the British and French envoys visited again, Zhan Changqing put forward the most basic conditions for China to send troops.

"The customs will hand over everything before October. At the same time, Hong Kong and Macau must also be returned to China before September!"

When the concession was handed over, Hong Kong and Macau were not at odds. The British played tricks, while the Portuguese took chances.

Now, Zhan Changqing tore off the window paper and took back the "concession", he had to take it back completely, Huaxia didn't have the patience to wait any longer.If you want Huaxia to send troops, you must show enough "sincerity"!

In the end, the British compromised, and the Portuguese did not have the confidence to persist. Both the Governor of Australia and the Governor of Hong Kong will "resign" before September [-].

The three parties reached a final agreement on August 22, and signed a formal agreement on August 23 to abolish the relevant treaties signed between the two countries and the Qing government. The time for Huaxia to recover the last occupied land has entered a countdown.

When the Huaxia government took over Hong Kong and Macau and was preparing for the military expedition to Europe, Li Jinyan was having a headache about Lou Er Shao's going to school.

According to Lou Ershao's age, he should go to elementary school.But according to his "knowledge", there is no problem in going to elementary school.

"School, or elementary school?" Li Jinyan is like a parent who chooses a school for his child in later generations. Even if the school is run by himself, he is still dissatisfied considering his own little leopard.

"Brother Yan?"

The Second Young Master Lou was playing crossword puzzles on the sofa. He recognized a lot of characters. Bai Lao began to teach him regular script. He still couldn't write well with a brush, but what he wrote with a pencil was horizontal and vertical.

"Guess it all?" Li Jinyan looked down at the cardboard in Lou Ershao's hands. There were squares drawn on it, and the vacant grids had been filled. "Rui'er is really smart."

"Brother Yan, thanks for the prize."

Lou Er Shao put down the cardboard without changing his face, and picked up another one. Li Jinyan could clearly see that the two small ears under the soft black hair turned red.

"Rui'er, brother Yan thinks it's better to go to elementary school first for the first half of the year."

"why?"

"Ruier doesn't want to play with friends of the same age?" Li Jinyan smiled and clicked to guess the two boxes on the word board, "Does Ruier know what a friend means?"

"I know." Young Master Lou nodded, and after seriously "considering" for a while, he said, "But I want to go to elementary school."

"why?"

"I want to grow up quickly."

"..." Going to elementary school means growing up?How should he explain to this baby that there is no necessary connection between the two?

Opening his mouth, looking at Lou Er Shao, Li Jinyan could only cover his face, God, children are really hard to raise, even the obedient little leopard.

Bailao's return to Guanbei was postponed until September. Marshal Lou was still in Siberia, and Li Jinyan had no one to discuss with. He called Mrs. Lou in the capital, but the girl said that Mrs. Lou was not there and went out.

Where have you been?

"Madam and Madam Song, Madam Sima went to the movies."

Holding the microphone, Li Jinyan looked at the roof at a 45-degree angle, and was speechless again.

That evening, Mrs. Lou called Li Jinyan, "Since Rui'er wants to go to elementary school, let him go."

"Can……"

"It's okay." Mrs. Lou said with a smile in her voice, "When Xiao'er came to his father's side, he got along very well with his cousin who was a few years older than him."

Is it really not due to Louhuo's "dominant spirit"?

Although he doubted the authenticity of Mrs. Lou's words, Li Jinyan still didn't ask.After much consideration, he decided to "respect" Little Leopard's opinion and sent him to Zidi Primary School.

Coincidentally, Mr. Guowen is Yang Pinting.

Not seen for more than a year, Yang Pinting's appearance has not changed much, but her temperament is more gentle, and it is easier for her children to get close to her.

"Mr. Yang, long time no see." Li Jinyan held Lou Er Shao's chubby hand, "My child, sir, please take care of me."

"Where, the third young master is polite." Yang Pinting tucked the black hair on her cheeks behind her ears, bent down, and was at eye level with the second young master Lou, "Hello, Lou Rui."

In her eyes, the child in front of her was not President Lou's son, but her student.

Second Young Master Lou saluted respectfully, and said, "Hello, sir."

Perhaps it was due to the good genes of the Lou family, the Lou Er boy was young but taller than his peers, and it didn't look awkward standing next to children a year or two older than him.

"it is good."

Yang Pinting smiled and straightened up, "Third Young Master, it's time for class."

"Ah, then..." Li Jinyan quickly squatted down, "Rui'er, study well, brother Yan will pick you up in the afternoon."

"kindness."

When the classroom door was closed, Li Jinyan was still standing in front of the door, unable to move his footsteps, and did not turn to leave until half of the class.

The Intelligence Bureau arranged for special personnel to enter Zidi Primary School to take care of the second young man in the building.Although he wanted Lou Er to live less of an ordinary child's life, but family factors still made it impossible for him to truly become an ordinary child.

Back at the Marshal's Mansion, Li Jinyan suddenly felt empty and uninterested in doing anything, which had never happened before.

It's just sending the little leopard to school... Is it just because I sent him there myself?

Li Jinyan couldn't figure out what was the reason for this emotion. Since he couldn't get up his spirits, he just spread out on the sofa without any image. If he missed work for a day, the sky would not fall down.

I closed my eyes, all kinds of thoughts were churning in my mind, and I fell asleep unconsciously. When I woke up, I found myself lying on the bed with a dry throat. When I lifted the quilt, I saw a person sitting in the room.

The military uniform is tall and straight, with jet-black hair, black eyes, two long legs crossed, leaning on the sofa, flipping a German book in his hand.

Rubbing his eyes, "Young commander?"

"woke up?"

"Am I dreaming?"

The man put down his book and stood up, walked to the bed a few steps, lifted Li Jinyan's jaw, lowered his head, and bit his lower lip.

"Hiss..." Li Jinyan covered his lips, "Young commander!"

"Huh?" Lou Xiao leaned on the bed with one hand, "Think you're dreaming?"

"No." Li Jinyan frowned and licked his lips. The next moment, his lips were blocked, with slight pain, but getting hotter.

For a long time, until he was a little out of breath, his lips were released, his back was on the bed, and the collar button of Marshal Lou's military uniform was also torn off, his forehead hair was a little messy, and his eyes were getting darker. Disturbed.

The chiming clock on the wall suddenly rang, Li Jinyan was startled, and quickly pushed Lou Xiao away, "What time is it?"

Seeing that it was only two o'clock in the afternoon, I breathed a sigh of relief.Fortunately, I didn't oversleep.

"Young commander, I'm going to pick up Rui'er at three o'clock."

Young Marshal Lou didn't speak.

Li Jinyan got out of bed and tidied up his clothes. The hem of the long gown was a little wrinkled, so he simply changed into another one, "Young commander, are you going together?"

Young Marshal Lou still didn't speak.

"Speaking of which, young commander, aren't you in Siberia? Why don't you tell me in advance when you come back?"

Li Jinyan "talked to himself" for a while, but he still didn't get a response. While buttoning his buttons, he turned his head, "Young commander?"

At some point, Young Marshal Lou was already standing behind him, with his arms around his waist, "At the end of September, I will go to Europe."

"Europe?" Li Jinyan's hands stopped, "Have you decided to send troops?"

"kindness."

"must go?"

"Worry?"

"Yes." Li Jinyan pulled Marshal Lou's arm away and turned around, "I'm worried about you."

Looking at Li Jinyan quietly, Young Marshal Lou suddenly smiled, and Li Jinyan's heart skipped a beat because of this smile.

TXXD, why are you smiling so charmingly? !

"Jin Yan," the warm breath brushed Li Jinyan's ears, "Qing Xing."

Li Jinyan only felt a rush of heat coming from the top of his head, and quickly covered his ears, this is a foul!

"Clear?"

"Stop screaming!" Li Jinyan grabbed the collar of Marshal Lou's military uniform and gritted his teeth, "Believe it or not, I did it for you?!"

Marshal Lou raised one eyebrow, motioning Li Jinyan to look at the chime clock on the wall.

Li Sanshao grinds his teeth, whoever said that Young Commander Lou is rigid and serious from head to toe, and a soldier is iron-blooded, who is he in a hurry with?

In the end, Li Sanshao failed to bring Lou Huo to justice. After all, Li Jinyan promised to pick him up on the first day of Little Leopard's school, so he couldn't break his promise.Marshal Lou also followed, but he didn't get out of the car.When Second Young Master Lou stood in front of the car door and saw Young Master Lou in the car, he frowned obviously, and called "Big Brother" in a proper manner.

"Well, get in the car."

The driver in front of the car seat and Adjutant Ji tried their best to restrain the desire to turn back, even if they were scratching their heads, they must endure it!

Unexpectedly, the brothers of the Lou family get along very "peacefully", or in other words, too peacefully.

Lou Shaoshuai asked Lou Ershao about his "feelings" on his first day at school. Lou Ershao's answer was simple and clear, and he could grasp the key points in every sentence. Talk to Li Jinyan and make friends with everyone.

It's just that, when talking with Marshal Lou, Second Young Master Lou's expression was extraordinarily "serious and serious", which was completely different from the face of Li Jinyan when he faced Li Jinyan alone.

Li Jinyan was surprised, but didn't speak. Lou Shaoshuai listened to Lou Ershao's words, and occasionally nodded or raised a few words. The car drove to the Marshal's mansion, and the conversation between the two brothers came to an end.

"Very good, keep it up."

Young Marshal Lou "praise" Second Young Master Lou, Second Young Master Lou suddenly smiled at Young Marshal Lou, "Yes, big brother."

At a certain moment, Marshal Lou's expression was successfully frozen for two seconds.Lou Er Shao raised his head and said to Li Jin, "Brother Yan, Rui'er is hungry, when will we serve dinner?"

"Hungry? Now!"

Li Jinyan picked up Second Young Master Lou, thought about it, and then stuffed it into Young Master Lou's arms, directly forgetting the "grandfather's teachings" that Second Young Master Lou said. Anyway, Bai Lao is still in the capital, and the sky is far away from the emperor.

"Young commander, hold me, I'll go to the kitchen to see what the master has prepared."

The words fell, and a few steps disappeared.

The Lou brothers stared wide-eyed.

Second Young Master Lou: "Brother."

Marshal Lou: "Yes."

Second Young Master Lou: "..."

Marshal Lou stretched his long legs and climbed up the steps.

Adjutant Ji who got out of the car paused, should he follow in for a meal or turn around and leave?For safety's sake, let's talk about Cengfan later...

After the meal, Master Lou and Er Shao had a brotherly exchange in the study, and Li Jinyan was refused to listen.

Li Sanshao just shrugged his shoulders, and let it go if he refused to listen. He went back to his room to count the oceans.

Since China declared war on Germany and the German military officer corps returned home, the six northern provinces have also cut off ostensibly ties with Germany.However, the Nieder firm in Switzerland still does a large amount of business with the German military.Thinking of the European battlefield, Li Jinyan pursed his lips. Since Huaxia is going to send troops and Marshal Lou is going to Europe, he should inform Ned that the goods sold to Germany must be limited.

It's none of his business to beat Europeans to death. If it involves his own family, he must reconsider.

Young Marshal Lou is going to Europe, what about Russia?Who should take over such a large sum of gold?Or is it really waiting for the Bolsheviks to knock out the Tsar's family and cut off Kolchak's beard?In that case, it will take at least two years.

Just as he was thinking, the door of the room was pushed open, and Young Master Lou and Second Young Master Lou walked in successively.

"Young commander, Rui'er, are you done talking?"

"kindness."

One big and one small acted in unison and nodded in response.

Li Jinyan wanted to laugh, but he really did.

"Brother Yan?"

"It's nothing." Li Jinyan smiled and pulled Second Young Master Lou to sit beside him, turned around and handed him a picture album, and ordered the girl to cut a watermelon and send it to him. August was just in time.

The girl quickly delivered the fruit plate and exited the room. Li Jinyan forked two pieces of red melon flesh into the plate, and pushed it to Lou Er Shao.

"Young Marshal, what about Russia when you go to Europe?"

"Father will arrange that both Mr. Qian and Mr. Du will go to Siberia."

"Does the Intelligence Bureau send another person?"

"Not for the time being." Young Marshal Lou nodded the table, "The Jin Army and the Ji Army have dispatched troops, in case the news leaks, don't act rashly."

Siberia is too big. In order to stabilize the previously occupied area and then completely digest it, it is necessary to increase the garrison. In addition to the later immigration, it is imperative to transfer troops from other provinces.

"The thing about Europe..."

When Marshal Lou and Li Jinyan were talking, Second Young Master Lou finished eating two small pieces of melon, read the album, sat upright, and listened carefully.When Li Jinyan noticed, he had been listening for a while.

"Can Rui'er understand?"

"Yes." Young Master Lou nodded, "Brother is going to fight in a place called Europe, and he entrusted his father with something very important."

"Young Marshal," Li Jinyan took a breath, "Did you also do this when you were young?"

"do not remember."

"..." Liar!

Li Jinyan realized that he was wrong, and he really couldn't regard Lou Ershao as a six-year-old child, even though he was actually only five years old.

"Rui'er, you can't tell outsiders these words."

"Rui'er knows, my grandfather taught me."

Li Jinyan: "..."

Elite education, thick black education, really start from the baby?

On September 28, China officially sent troops to Europe.

The first batch of [-] troops will depart by boat from Qingdao.All the troop carriers come from China, including all cargo ships and passenger ships of the John Shipping Company, as well as all large ships that can be mobilized by the six southern provinces and other coastal provinces.

The escort formation is composed of the British Far East Fleet and some American warships. Except for the old Zhenhai, two of Huaxia's original four cruisers joined the escort.Another Chinese-made light cruiser also appeared in the escort team.

The tonnage and firepower of this cruiser were not taken seriously by the British at all, but everything from the steel plate for shipbuilding to the design of the hull was made by the Chinese.The Huaxia sailors on the cruiser did not waver in the face of the British dreadnoughts. They want to prove to the world that the Huaxia Navy is weak, but still exists!

Before sailing, Liu Hailong, who had only one arm left, and a few old Beiyang sat by the sea, got drunk, cried and laughed after being drunk, if he could live to this day, seeing all this with his own eyes, even if he died, he would be able to understand The brothers at the bottom of the sea have an explanation...

Liu Hailong stood up, staggered into the water, poured out a bowl of wine, as if falling into the sea unbearably, a salty taste gushed out of his mouth, I don't know if it was sea water, or the wine that hadn't been drained for more than 20 years tears.

Old Beiyang's dreams, hopes, and hatred were all buried by the vast sea.

However, Huaxia's younger generation will continue their dreams, and the Huaxia Navy will develop and grow stronger in the hands of their students and their descendants!

At ten o'clock in the morning on the 28th, Chinese soldiers began to board the ship in Qingdao Port.

The soldiers from the north and the soldiers from the south gathered together into one group. From this moment on, they no longer had distinctions between regions or provinces. They had only one identity, the Huaxia soldiers.

Tanks, armored vehicles, artillery, and machine guns were loaded onto cargo ships, along with three bombers and 35 fighter jets painted black.These fighters have a new name, the Black Tornado.

Why is there such a name?Because the captain of the fighter jet brigade, the young overseas Chinese who returned with Situ Jing once said with a smile: "Shao Yan gave the bomber a good name, and the fighter jets can't lag behind!"

After brainstorming by all fighter pilots, the new Huaxia Type [-] fighter finally has a resounding name: Black Whirlwind!

It is said that this was proposed by a pilot who had read Water Margin, and all the pilots voted in favor of passing it.Even if the aircraft designer was so angry that he wanted to hit the wall, his well-designed aircraft was still nicknamed Li Kui.

Compared with the colleague who designed "Ghost Seeing Sorrow", this dear friend can still comfort himself. At least, the word "Black Whirlwind" is still very "prestige" to the ears of people who don't know the "inside story".

When the Huaxia soldiers set foot on the European continent, the ugly monsters, ghosts and sorrows, and the black whirlwind will let the European continent see what is the elegance of Chinese weapons!

Their power, together with their names, will leave a deep mark in the history of the world.

This day is coming soon.
