Expedition to Europe

Don't get me wrong, this Jackson is not the one from the Brotherhood.

Jackson from the Brotherhood is well-known to the British, and it is not easy to get into the British army.

As a friend, the German is obviously competent. After training every day, Jackson will take the initiative to find Karim, either to do tactical deductions or to have a drink together. Jackson has no family, and one person's full family is not hungry. The captain's salary is not high but not low, and it is more than enough for one person to consume. Karim has no worries, and the relationship between the two quickly heats up.

Well, just as friends.

Jackson's military quality is still good, a standard German, rigorous and pragmatic, serious and meticulous, while Karim's style is relatively rough. When training troops, his attitude is simple and rough, and the effect is not bad. After all, Karim is also a veteran, and he has real stuff in his stomach.

Therefore, in the entire recruit camp, Karim's company and Jackson's company were the two best performing companies, winning the championship in the collective evaluation many times. In June, Karim was promoted to the commander of the D Battalion of the First Infantry Division of Iraq, and Jackson was the commander of the E Battalion.

The military ranks of the two were also promoted, and both were promoted to majors, becoming the few senior officers besides the British.

In early June, the situation became increasingly tense. There were constant conflicts on the border between Syria and Iraq. The warring parties used all conventional weapons except artillery. Three battalions had accepted combat missions and left the camp, and the entire camp became much emptier.

The French were still very combative on land, and the British could not take any advantage. The Hanasor oil field had been forced to stop working, and all the news coming back from the front was bad news.

That night, Jackson came to Karim with a bottle of wine as usual.

Karim asked Maijid to prepare some beef jerky and roasted lamb, and the two had a drink with the wine brought by Jackson.

"My troops will probably go to the front in a few days." Jackson raised his glass to greet Karim.

"In terms of the battle sequence, my troops are ahead of yours, so don't worry. As long as I haven't received a combat mission, it won't be your turn to go into battle." Karim has been following the progress of the war, waiting for the opportunity to avenge his brothers.

The organization of the Iraqi troops is very interesting. The regiment-level troops have unique codes, or unified national numbers. For example, Karim's regiment is the Hanasor Regiment, or the Second Regiment. The battalion-level troops are replaced by English letters. This order is the so-called battle sequence.

If we follow this battle sequence, Karim's D Battalion will soon receive combat missions, or join Jackson's troops.

"I hope we can be together. To be honest, among our twelve battalions, I am only willing to fight side by side with your troops." Jackson flattered Karim without leaving a trace.

"Don't say that, Mr. Steven will be unhappy." Karim didn't see how happy he was, but just kept drinking.

"Have you heard? The French have transferred the Foreign Legion here." It seems that the shadow left by the Foreign Legion on the Germans is indeed great. When mentioning the Foreign Legion, Jackson's expression is a little confused.

After Lan Fang and France contacted the alliance relationship, there was a strong call in Germany to form an alliance with Lan Fang. As a German, Jackson did not take a position on this issue. It seems that Germany should indeed form an alliance with Lan Fang, but Jackson could not forget the damage that the Foreign Legion brought to Germany in the World War.

During the World War, Jackson was one of the millions of soldiers on the Eastern Front.

"The current Foreign Legion is not the nearly invincible Foreign Legion during the World War. The French have established a new Foreign Legion with Africans as the main body. My God, those people are not even as good as the Annan people in French Indochina. I really don't know if the bigwigs of the French Army Department were kicked in the head by a donkey." Karim was not worried much. The French were self-destructive. Now the Foreign Legion is just a standard appearance.

"Yes, let's have a toast to thank Mr. Alexander Millerand." Jackson suggested.

Karim was about to respond when Mejed hurried in: "Sir, General, please come over - and Mr. Jackson as well."

Along with Mejed's voice came a sharp assembly whistle. The moment they heard the whistle, Karim and Jackson looked at each other, and then Karim raised his glass: "Good luck!"

"Good luck to us all!" Jackson's expression was not relaxed either.

The war finally came.

In mid-June, Syria finally couldn't stand Iraq's endless harassment and declared war on Iraq.

On the same day, three Syrian reorganized divisions crossed the border and marched into Iraq. Iraq immediately mobilized the whole country and expressed its determination to fight the Syrians to the death.

On the surface, it was the Syrians and Iraqis who walked onto the stage, but in fact the whole world knew that this was a standard proxy war.

This is good, at least the war will be controlled to a certain extent. If the French and the British went into battle bare-handed, it might be another world war.

Well, the world war left too deep an impression on the world, and if possible, no one wants to have it again.

After the Syrians and Iraqis declared war, Qin Zhiyuan immediately convened a royal meeting.

"Fight, the more lively the better. It would be best if the Iraqis could teach the French a profound lesson and let them understand their true combat effectiveness. Maybe then Mr. Manjing will face reality." Chen Kangjian, who finally returned to his homeland and was able to attend the imperial court meeting, ridiculed France.

The troops led by Chen Kangjian were transferred to Cam Ranh Bay last month and became neighbors with the Governor-General of French Indochina, Manjing. It seems that Chen Kangjian and Manjing did not get along well, so Chen Kangjian was happy to see the French suffer a setback.

"What? Manjing is not honest now?" Defense Minister Qin Zhisheng also did not like the French. Since the Foreign Legion period, Qin Zhisheng did not like the French.

In fact, before the World War, all Chinese people were not very interested in Westerners. After the World War, the fighting power shown by Chinese people finally made Westerners take it seriously. The emergence of Lan Fang also attracted a large number of Westerners to join. Those Westerners who had already joined Lan Fang nationality were also working hard for Lan Fang. At this time, there was no debate about barbarians. In fact, the so-called "barbarians" were nothing more than the inferiority and arrogance of the Ah Q spirit. Ordinary Chinese people really didn't have much bad feelings towards Westerners.

The original text is in Liu # 9 @Book/Bar!

This involves a level of problem. Chinese people are the most kind-hearted people in the world. As long as life can continue, Chinese people will not take risks. Ordinary Chinese people who are penniless and have nothing are not worth the attention of foreigners. Since there is no direct conflict of interest, there is no question of whether they hate them or not.

"What if they are not honest? I am now stepping up my infiltration of the few people under Manjing. Maybe after a while, if Manjing orders his troops to attack Cam Ranh Bay, his troops will directly rebel. Let's see how the French can still face it." Chen Kangjian is also a black heart, and he is also very good at making small moves.

"You should be careful not to let Manjing catch the flaw. This Manjing is not as careless as he looks on the surface." Qin Zhiyuan kindly reminded.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I am also a good embroidery." Chen Kangjian didn't care. Even if a fight really broke out, Chen Kangjian didn't take the Annan Division, which was short of soldiers and generals, seriously. On the contrary, under Chen Kangjian, there was a fully equipped Annan Division with high morale.

The relationship between the Annamites and the Chinese has been very good since the Foreign Legion period. During the World War, the Annamites were the best helpers of the Chinese. Perhaps because they were deeply influenced by Chinese culture, the Annamites had a high degree of identification with Lan Fang. After the World War, two Annamites directly retired from the Foreign Legion and joined the Lan Fang Army. Currently, the two divisions have been expanded to six divisions, four of which are stationed in Goryeo and Japan.

The French colonial rule in Annam was not very humane. Although the French were a little more merciful than the British, it was only "a little". The Annamites did not live happily under the rule of the French. When Lan Fang and France were allies, several Annamites in the Lan Fang Army, such as Vo Nguyen Thanh and Nguyen Tuan Thai, could still remain calm. After France and Lan Fang dissolved their alliance, Vo Nguyen Ting and others had written many letters to request the mobilization of the Annamites to resist the French colonial rule. Vo Nguyen Ting even wrote a blood oath, willing to retire from the Lan Fang Army and return to Annam to lead the resistance struggle in Annam.

Qin Zhiyuan felt the same way about Wu Yuanting and his people's indignation. Of course, for long-term considerations, Qin Zhiyuan appeased Wu Yuanting and his people and gave them a promise of the future, so that they could rest assured to train troops in the garrison, and there would always be a time when they would be useful.

Wu Yuanting and his people believed in Qin Zhiyuan's words.

It was impossible not to believe it. Without the support of Lan Fang, it would not be easy for the Annan people to resist the French. The French Far East Fleet in Guangzhou Bay was still relatively strong. Although it was vulnerable in front of the Lan Fang Fleet, it was an irresistible "unnatural" force in the eyes of the Annan people who lacked guns and artillery.

Now we can see the benefits of Britain and France adopting a single colonial economy. Without a complete industrial system, modern warfare cannot be supported. Not all nations can come up with "protracted war", and not everyone can do millet plus rifles to defeat airplanes and artillery.

"Regarding the Middle East, let me tell you that it is necessary for us to shift our strategic direction to the Middle East. The initial plan is to deploy the two divisions transferred back from Madagascar to Moon Bay. At the appropriate time, we can intervene in the war in the Middle East." Qin Zhiyuan wanted to play the game of sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight.

Pierre finally couldn't stand the pressure from the Paris government. Just last month, Pierre ended his employment contract. The two divisions in Madagascar were about to return to Lan Fang. Now is the right time to deploy them directly to Moon Bay.

Moon Bay is the once famous Diego Garcia.

"What about the name? We must have a legitimate reason!" Lu Zhengxiang was a little worried. It is true that a cannon will bring a lot of gold, but for logistics, modern war is a disaster.

"Name? Haha, it's very simple - holy war!" Qin Zhiyuan stood up suddenly, and everyone remembered that Qin Zhiyuan also had another identity, the Grand Master of the Catholic Knights Templar. This identity is probably the best name for Qin Zhiyuan to intervene in the war in the Middle East.
