On the dock, Bertrand and Cai Ye chatted very happily, in fact, because many people had been trained in France in the early years, and there were also a number of French retired officers in China who were still helping the Wehrmacht to train, so French was very marketable in the 6th Army, even if Cai Ye was not fluent in French, but there was no problem in speaking and listening.

In fact, in today's National Defense 6th Army, French and German are the mainstream, and the status of these two in the 6th Army is probably similar to the status of English in the Navy.

After all, in this era, the two strongest countries of the 6th Army are Germany and France, and the strongest navy is the United Kingdom, which is an indisputable fact. Even within the Wehrmacht today, there are Germans who are engaged in some military exchanges with the Wehrmacht.

These Germans, naturally, are those who were trapped in China because of the outbreak of the war, and there is no way to leave...

Although China and Germany have stood on opposite sides of each other, the treatment of the Germans in China is still relatively good, at least Yan Shao did not use the enemy country as an excuse to put all these Germans in concentration camps, or to confiscate all the private property of Germans in China―――――― except for some Chinese cultural relics collected by those Germans.

Yan Shao was naturally willing to protect private property, but this definitely did not include the cultural relics looted by the Germans from China, which were priceless. Yan Shao would never allow these things to be taken out of the country, and apart from these, Yan Shao did not offend those Germans.

On the other hand, because Yan Shao did not impose too many restrictions on those Germans in China, the activities of these people in China were relatively relaxed. Except for some who engage in 'espionage' activities. All other activities are free. However, freedom of movement means that the cost is relatively large.

In addition, China no longer accepts currency such as the 'mark', and the Germans have no choice but to go to the Americans to exchange the mark for pounds and then use it in China.

But the reality is that no matter how powerful the Kaiser is, he is. It is also impossible to pay these soldiers in China, who have almost forgotten about the German government.

The government provided them with only the most basic shelter or something, and there was no other way, and after spending the money almost completely, they had to look for other ways to make money.

In this case, some moral ** officials who are not strong-willed. was abducted by the Wehrmacht, in the name of military exchanges...

In fact, seriously speaking, it is indeed a military exchange, after all, the French will not be inferior to Germany at least in terms of training, and what is really inferior to Germany is military command and other aspects, as well as the use of new technologies. And not the other...

And this time the Wehrmacht abducted these low-ranking officers, in addition to planning to draw some useful things from German military training, the most important point is to be familiar with the German way of fighting, after all, it will not be long before the expeditionary force will fight in Germany...

Overall, this familiarity is useful, at least until coming to Europe. Cai Ye and Liu Guangyuan were already familiar with the German combat methods. Even with the familiarity with Germany and France, it is the mainstream language of later generations, English, which is relatively inferior...

――――――――――――――――――――――

Because of Bertrand's identity, Cai Ye and others are also very respectful and polite to him―――――― there is no way to do this, although Cai Ye feels that the relationship with Yan Shao is very good, and Elano seems to be very knowledgeable, but Cai Ye knows very well that women are cautious creatures, and he does not dare to underestimate the power of the pillow wind.

He did it all, not to mention everyone else.

As for Bertrand, since he has been to China. I know very well the strength of China today, so I don't dare to look down on these ** people in front of me at all.

On the contrary, it is someone else...

"Has the glory of France been completely lost, and it has been reduced to the point where it needs the help of these yellow people..."Looking at Bertrand, who was chatting happily with Cai Ye and them in the distance, a judicial ** official who came with him couldn't help but sigh a little.

For these proud Frenchmen, to work with countries like Britain and Russia against the Germans. This seems to be nothing, after all, both Britain and Russia are the most powerful countries in the world.

But China...

Although I heard that the country is now a good country, and it is one of the best powers in the Far East, in the eyes of the proud French, this is nothing.

And now, they need the help of this country, which is really humiliating for them.

Hearing this officer's words, several people quickly nodded in agreement.

But then an officer shook his head. "The most important purpose now is to solve the Germans, you are not unclear about the casualties on the front, and it is also correct to find some foreign aid to share the casualties for us, compared with these, I am more interested in the strength of these Chinese..."

"Seems pretty good," the other tall, thin, bamboo-like officer looked at the Wehrmacht officers and soldiers who were lining up on the dock in the distance. At least it's much stronger than the imaginary big smoker, his body is very strong, and the formation is very neat..."

Not only him, but the people in the harbor were looking at these strange troops from afar with curiosity or scrutiny.

And no matter how critical these French are, they have to admit that these Wehrmacht officers and soldiers standing in the harbor today are indeed a tough force.

This can be seen from their strong physique and the strict formation.

Today, Marseille has troops from all over the world, both British and French, as well as troops from various colonies, and among these troops, the Wehrmacht is almost like a flock of chickens.

Especially after these soldiers finished the formation, they remained motionless like marble statues, which highlighted the casualness and noise of the other troops around them.

Although the Wehrmacht has not yet proven itself on the battlefield, this alone is enough to impress everyone in the port with this army that has come from afar.

"Perhaps, we can really give them something to look forward to..."

――――――――――――――――――――

Inside the port of Marseille. The British and French troops and the colonial troops were either pointing at the landscape in the harbor, or chatting with each other, and some of them were also lined up, but they were not at all strict.

If you change to a defense officer with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Seeing the appearance of those troops around me, I am afraid that I can't stand it for a long time.

In China, even ordinary reserve troops are probably more neat than them in terms of formation.

However, it is precisely because of this that these expeditionary forces from China have also attracted more attention in the port. And not just the French generals who came to greet them. Some other officers and generals were also looking at these friendly troops from afar with curious eyes.

The strong muscles made the expeditionary force on the port look very strong, and the neat formation also showed extremely good military discipline and military appearance. Compared to Yi, the commanders of the scattered troops around him almost felt like they wanted to commit suicide in shame.

Due to the fact that the heavy equipment was on the ship, the soldiers only had standard German Mauser 19O4 rifles, which made many soldiers who had a lot of dealings with the Germans frown. After all, it is this kind of weapon, and I don't know how many of their compatriots were killed on the battlefield of the Western Front.

But soon they shifted their attention to the uniforms of the Wehrmacht, because before disembarking, Cai Ye had strictly ordered the officers and men of the troops to show their best posture in front of the allies, so the officers and soldiers after disembarking from the ship were not wearing the usual gray training uniforms. It is a 11-style daily uniform, that is, a new military uniform modified according to the Nazi German outfit of later generations.

The pure black Type 11 military uniform with silver trim is definitely one of the most beautiful military uniforms in this era. Plus neat queues and sturdy soldiers. What it brings to people is definitely a very shocking visual impact.

After noticing these beautiful military uniforms, I don't know how many officers and soldiers of the Entente countries showed envious expressions. If they didn't feel anything before, then after seeing the Wehrmacht's Type 11 uniforms, they were looking at the uniforms they were wearing......... Although it can't be said that it is the same as Hanako, it was usually a beautiful military uniform in their eyes, but now it feels a little unpleasant no matter how you look at it...

"General, I don't know where our army's garrison is arranged?"

After some pleasantries, Cai asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Cai, there's no need to worry about this," Bertrand said with a smile. You've just arrived in France. After taking the boat for such a long time, I always have to take a good rest. The current plan for Paris is to let you rest in Marseille for a while, and then go straight to the front by car..."

"The front line..."Liu Guangyuan on the side heard this and frowned slightly. I remember that we seemed to have signed an agreement with your country. When we arrive in France, we need to do some training before we can go into combat......... After all, except for one main division, the remaining two are almost all newly formed reserves, and they have only undergone relatively preliminary training, although they are not bad in terms of equipment, but if they are directly put into the battlefield..."

Not only Liu Guangyuan, but Cai Ye and several other officers also frowned.

By the time they were on the ship, they already knew a little bit about the shape of Europe, and the battlefield on the Western Front today was almost like a meat grinder, full of trench warfare. And these were avoided by Cai Ye and Liu Guangyuan, who had experienced the Shandong Campaign, after all, they now only had 50,000 or 60,000 troops in their hands.

If it is really invested on the Western Front, I am afraid that it will not be long before these 50,000 or 60,000 people will be consumed.

Seeing the dissatisfaction and concerns in the hearts of Liu Guangyuan and the others, Bertrand said with a smile.

"Please rest assured, our country and Britain have signed an agreement with your country, of course we will not send your army to the front line so rashly, I also know the situation of the expeditionary force, and it will be a murder to send it like this, and it will take another month or two to train..."

"The front line I just talked about is not really the front line, but a small town dozens of kilometers away from the front line. A small town called St. Mnoult, with a population of just over 1,000 and a large open space around it, was very suitable for the expeditionary force to be stationed and trained. And..."

Bertrand smiled and said something else. "Originally, General Xia Fei hoped that the expeditionary force would be directly under his jurisdiction, but your country has made an agreement with our government, so the expeditionary force will have an independent status in France, but ......... You should be clear. This is conditional, so General Xia Fei has always thought that it will not be long before the expeditionary force will be under his command, and this arrangement is also more convenient for him to command in the future..."

Hearing Bertrand say this, Liu Guangyuan and the others frowned slightly, but Cai Ye smiled and said. "Trust me. General Xia Fei will not have this opportunity, but ......... I also feel that the troops are trained closer to the front line and have a higher understanding of actual combat, so I am willing to accept this proposal..."

"Alright," Bertrand smiled and nodded. In that case, then I will reply to Paris and General Xia Fei like this, and the accommodation of the expeditionary force has been arranged. Later someone will come with the soldiers of your army, as for how many......... The city of Marseille has held a banquet for your arrival, and I hope you will enjoy it..."

"Of course...," Cai Yi smiled.

Whether it was Bertrand's special identity or his friendly attitude just now, Cai Ye and them couldn't refuse. However, after Bertrand left, the faces of Liu Guangyuan and the others looked ugly.

"These damn French guys, they still say that sooner or later they will be in charge..." Liu Guangyuan said evilly.

"That's why the president will let us wave well in France before leaving......... Speaking of which, I'm also curious, what is the secret weapon in the president's mouth..."

"I'm also curious, but it's a pity that except for the president, probably no one knows..."Hearing Cai Yi's words, Liu Guangyuan's expression softened slightly.

――――――――――――――――――――

This expeditionary force came to Europe not as vassals of Britain and France, but as an independent unit. This not only allowed China to have a position on a par with Britain and France, but also prevented the expeditionary force from being used as cannon fodder by Britain and France.

However, there are conditions and costs associated with this.

Although the Wehrmacht experienced the Shandong Campaign. But the scale of the European battlefield will only be larger than that of the Shandong Campaign, and the fighting will only be more tragic. Almost every day, the casualties here are counted in the tens of thousands.

In addition, a series of expressions in China in the past said that the expeditionary force could be trusted by Britain and France as soon as it arrived in France, and so on. It's almost impossible. What more so in France, as an independent force to survive zài?

Therefore, before Yan Shao sent out the expeditionary force, he had already made an agreement with Britain and France. That is, the expeditionary force must be within a month of officially entering the war, and the combat capability of the British and French is not inferior, otherwise...

The expeditionary force would have to be under the command of Britain and France...

This is very reasonable in the eyes of Britain and France, if the expeditionary force can show that the combat capability is not inferior to that of the British and French regular armies, then of course they should get a status commensurate with their strength, not to mention that Yan Shao has promised that the size of the expeditionary force will reach at least 300,000, so it will become a matter of course to have an independent status.

However, if the combat ability of the expeditionary force is similar to that of the colonial troops, then sorry, they can only use you as a colonial force, because the strength you show is only the Cheng dù of the colonial troops, and that's it.

This was also the reason why Bertrand had just said that, because in Xia Fei's opinion, this expeditionary force was almost ironclad under his command.

But Bertrand, who had been to China, did not think so, because the requirements of the whole treaty were actually very vague...

Equivalent to the combat capabilities of the regular armies of Britain and France? The treaty did not require the expeditionary force to win, as long as they could show their recognized strength, after all, even Britain and France rarely won on the Western Front, so naturally there was no reason to ask the expeditionary force to win the victory...

In other words, it is relatively simple to reach the content of the treaty, as long as the expeditionary force is better on the battlefield...

And in the eyes of Cai Ye and others, these are naturally not difficult things...

――――――――――――――――――――

After disembarking from the ship, the officers and men of the expeditionary force were quickly arranged by the French.

Although some French people feel a little humiliated about the need to accept help from the Chinese, the vast majority of French people still welcome their arrival, after all, the situation in France is not very good now, and anyone who is willing to help them will be welcomed by them...

What's more, compared with those colonial troops, or the British and French troops themselves, the military appearance and military discipline of the expeditionary force are very eye-catching, which naturally makes more people look forward to it.

In addition, Yan Shao also lived in Marseille for a period of time, and until now there are many Yan Shao's fans in the city, so he naturally has more good feelings about the arrival of the expeditionary force.

Soon, the expeditionary force was placed in a camp outside Marseille.

And this scene fell in the eyes of a French Indochina colony army that almost arrived with the expeditionary force, but it showed a deep sense of envy. After all, the same troops from the Far East, the expeditionary force received the same treatment as Britain and France, and they...

On the other hand, Cai Yi, Liu Guangyuan and others also attended a banquet specially held for them at the request of the French government. Among them, there are not only some generals and colonels of the Allied forces in Marseille, but also local celebrities, and even the Tharis couple were invited to participate, after all, after receiving Yan Shao's help, the Tharis couple is also a very famous mission in Marseille, not to mention that they have an extraordinary relationship with Yan Shao like Bertrand...
