This Count Giuliano became famous in Italy, because he once had an affair with the wife of the famous Italian poet Rossini, and Rossini proposed a duel, and Count Giuliano gladly went to the appointment, and then said in the duel: "Why can't we live together peacefully?" That way, I am her lover when she needs me. So Rossini and Count Giuliano stopped dueling, so Count Giuliano was called "her lover" in Italy. It's just that he went too far, married a wife until he was in his thirties, and then died of a cold in less than three years due to overindulgence (it is said that he had more than a dozen mistresses). Laziani nodded, "She doesn't have a good reputation, because she has been married three times, most recently to Count Giuliano, but sadly, Count Giuliano was accidentally killed by a stray bullet during the Third Battle of the Ensonzo River. So she has a reputation as a poisonous widow. ”

Wang Maoru nodded and said, "No wonder such a beautiful woman, there are few people to talk to." Then he thought of something and asked in surprise, "My friend Mario. Laziani, you're not going to marry her, are you? ”

Laziani laughed dryly and said, "yes, what? Surprised, right? ”

"But she's under a curse." Wang Maoru regarded him as a friend, although Laziani was not in tune, but he was still a good friend, and Laziani was born poor, and he did not have the aristocratic temperament of other senior officers, although the so-called aristocratic temperament was not like the arrogance of the second generation of officials and the rich second generation, but it had an indifferent indifference. This made Wang Maoru very uncomfortable.

Laziani said gratefully: "Thank you my friend, but I don't want to be just a little liaison officer, a small staff officer of the general staff. If this continues, I think I will be promoted to colonel before I retire, or will I retire as an honor. ”

"But he's older than you." Wang Maoru said.

Laziani wondered, "Is this a boulder that hinders love?" ”

It seems that Westerners don't mind the love between sisters and brothers, Wang Maoru said again: "In this way." You're going to have to pursue her? She is an aristocracy - now Italy is not a kingdom, but a republic, does she mind so much about aristocracy? ”

Laziani pulled over and Wang Maoru sat aside. Shaking his head with a wry smile, he complained: "On the surface, this bastard country is so democratic, but the actual operators of this country are still nobles and rich people." As a poor boy, I can't participate in the core of the country. Countess Giuliano had a huge fortune in Como, and I suspect that Count Giuliano married her and came for her fortune, but he didn't expect to die. He said seriously: "If I want to enter the aristocratic circle, I must have a pedal, I am thirty-two years old this year, friend, at the age of thirty-two, I am still a staff officer of the Foreign Liaison Office of the Ministry of War, do you think I can climb up step by step?" ”

Wang Maoru heard his words. In fact, whether it is a Chinese or a foreigner, it is actually the same in terms of heart, even if the national thinking is different, but the purpose and method of doing things are not much different, he patted Laziani on the shoulder. "Well, boy of Barry, I support you and hope you will be careful not to be ...... by the curse of the poisonous widow Hi anyway. You're my friend, I just don't want anything to happen to you. ”

Laziani smiled: "I know, thank you King." By the way, let me take you to get to know her, in fact, Julia is a very good woman. ”

Wang Maoru waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I can't communicate with her, my Italian is very bad." ”

Laziani laughed and said, "King, but your English is very good." ”

"But she ......"

Laziani looked at him strangely and said, "You don't think that the nobles only speak one language, do you?" Julia is British. ”

"She's British?" Wang Maoru was taken aback and said with a smile: "She...... Marrying so far? ”

Laziani grinned: "No way, the damn ghost weather in England helps, many British girls like to marry in sunny Italy." Let's go, friend, I'll introduce her to you, do you see, the beautiful British girl next to her? It was her sister, Hathaway. Escher, I introduce her as your dance partner. ”

Wang Maoru was forcibly pulled over by Laziani, Julia. Giuliano and his sister Hathaway, who had just arrived from England. Escher is also talking about Wang Maoru, the person who won the Lombardy Hero Medal, in fact, this Lombardy is the name of the northern Italian region, and the province of Milan is one of the nine provinces of the Lombardy region. Being able to receive the Lombard Hero Medal is a great psychological advantage for the Italians to be able to seize Austrian territory. Especially at this time, in order to protect the occupied one hundred and twenty square kilometers of land, the Italians and the Austro-Hungarian ** army fought a fierce war, known as the Battle of Lodlone. The Italians finally relented, successfully preventing the counter-offensive of 120,000 Austrian troops with 400,000 troops, and repelling the Austrians several times, making it one of the few battles that could be handled.

The Italians also thanked Wang Maoru and the Chinese army for their work, and even the Chinese army was well received in Bergamo.

Julia and Hathaway saw Laziani walking with Wang Maoru, and looked at it with a smile, Laziani wanted to introduce Wang Maoru, the young, bold and enthusiastic Hathaway said: "I don't think I need to be introduced, I just now I have met the winner of the Lombard Hero's Medal, the king of the mysterious East, Wang, you know, you are the first general recognized by Europe." ”

Wang Maoru said with a smile: "It's an honor to be able to be praised by a beautiful young lady like you, I think it excites me even more than winning the Lombard Medal." ”

Julia smiled: "It seems that General Wang is not a taciturn person, on the contrary, you are very able to speak, like a lark to make girls happy." But just now I saw that you have rejected the young lady of the Alberto family and the girl of the Grazanya family, what is the reason? They were Roman courtesans, and every man flocked to them. ”

"Men prefer sexy and charming girls like you, like this Mr. Laziani next to me." Wang Maoru laughed and said.

Hathaway and Julia were full of interest in Wang Maoru, an Oriental, and Wang Maoru chatted with them for a long time, and then Hathaway asked Wang Maoru to go to her sister's vineyard in Como, saying that her sister Julia's Lilac Rose Estate produces the best wine in Italy, and hoped that Wang Maoru would be a guest. Wang Maoru smiled and said that he would definitely go, but he needed to come back from Paris, Hathaway said excitedly: "Are you going to Paris?" ”

"Yes, accept the Medal of Warrior from Foch." Wang Maoru said.

Hathaway and Julia were amazed, and Hathaway said, "Actually, I'm going to go to Paris too, why don't we go together?" I wanted to be in Paris and experience the charm of Europe's fashion capital. ”

"It's a pleasure to go with you." Wang Maoru said with a smile.

At this time, many people at the door applauded, it turned out that Marshal Barrioli came in with his girlfriend, and he, as a person who had made great help to the Chinese army participating in the war, provided vehicles and other transportation equipment, so that the squadron's mechanization ability was greatly strengthened. Later, the heavy work was replaced by the Indians, but the squadron refused to teach the vehicle, and the lawsuit went to the coalition headquarters, and the chief of staff Diaz wanted the Chinese to hand over the vehicle, but Barrioli said: "The Chinese enter the Alps, the road is difficult, let's leave it to them." "In this way, the Chinese have obtained so many vehicles, and because of the vehicles, although the fighting army has been harassed by the Indians, the supply has never been cut off."

Wang Maoru said: "I'm sorry, I'm going to express my gratitude to the marshal." Then he got up and came to Marshal Barrioli, many people saluted the old marshal, and the old marshal also saluted one by one, Wang Maoru walked over and gave a military salute and said: "Marshal, thank you very much for your support and belief in the Chinese people." ”

Barrioli smiled: "Young man, I believe you Chinese are great, but we Italians are also great. ”

Wang Mao Ruxin said that if you really compare your army with the squadron, I can only say that you look up to your army too much, but on the surface: "Yes, we are all brave soldiers." ”

Barrioli liked what the Chinese general said, and asked, "Oriental, what do you think of the next step in the battle of Lodelone?" ”

Wang Mao said curiously: "Marshal, are you asking me what I think?" ”

Barrioli nodded, "I'm just old, but not old and confused, you're a good commander, and you have experience fighting the Austrians on the front line, I'd like to hear your opinion." ”

Wang Maoru smiled and said: "I don't dare to say my opinion, but I have noticed a phenomenon, the Austrians are equipped with very few gas masks, and your army can use poison gas bombs to block the Austrian reinforcements. You know, fighting in the valley, it is very difficult to disperse poison gas, and if you use poison gas bombs, it is extremely disadvantageous to the Austrians. After all, their supply was more difficult than that of the Italian army. ”

Barrioli nodded and said, "I'll give your opinion to the General Staff, and you made a good one." After chatting with Wang Maoru for a while, Barrioli went to chat elsewhere. As soon as Barriolis left, Hathaway leaned over and said, "He's a man who never gets invited." "In the Duchy of Italy, although nominally Barrioli was the marshal, in fact due to his old age, the Italian army was commanded by the chief of staff, Diaz.

Wang Maoru smiled and said: "He is a respectable and kind old man. ”

Hathaway said, "By the way, I heard that Her Royal Highness the Russian Princess went to Italy with you, but it seems that she has not been heard from since she came to Italy. ”

Wang Maoru showed a wry smile on his face, how to say this, it almost scared him to the point of urine, because he had a big problem, a big deal. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )rv
