But her remarks immediately drew hostile looks.

"Hey! Calm down, don't act like a whore." A 50-year-old man said: "Our children who died on the battlefield are also good-looking."

The long march was about to come to an end, but the onlookers did not disperse.Instead, they waited eagerly one by one.Because they know.The grand finale of every military parade is the enemy's supreme commander.This time, everyone knew who the commander leading the team was.That's right, it was the tall and handsome Chinese general Chiang Kai-shek who led the Dragon Army to sweep across the European continent twice.

"Here we come! We come!" Someone shouted, and everyone stretched their necks to look at the end of the road.

Four trailer motorcycles appeared at the corner, and after a slight pause, the four vehicles slowly moved forward at the lowest speed.Four more half-track armored personnel carriers followed.All the cars were painted dark gray.These cars lined up in a diamond shape, and the cars were full of soldiers.These soldiers wore black steel helmets and black uniforms, but their armed belts and shoulder straps were all pure white, one black and one white standing out in the sunlight.

A blue military flag was fluttering on the front car, and the huge flag fluttered in the wind. The Griffin on it, about to fly, looked extremely ferocious, and the golden tassels were also flying along with the flag's swing.The golden eagle decoration on the top of the flag is familiar to all French people, because this is the flag of the French Guards, the eagle flag that the French Guards lost on the Battle of Waterloo, and now it is in the hands of the Chinese.Seeing this eagle flag, most French people were filled with emotion.

After the half-track vehicle passed by, the real protagonist appeared.I saw him standing on a black heavy-duty off-road convertible car, wearing a gray army uniform, with a white armed belt on his waist, and various medals on his chest. People feel dizzy.There was a long command knife pinned to his waist, one hand was pressed on the handle, and the other was raised high, constantly waving to the people on both sides.There are two people sitting next to him, one is a Chinese general and the other is a French general.

"Wow! This man is the famous Chiang Kai-shek, so handsome."

"Didn't expect this guy to be so young?"

"Huh? Who is that French general next to him? Is it a French traitor?"

……

A burst of inexplicable comments popped out of the mouths of these onlookers, and the scene was very chaotic for a while.

"The French are really cute." Chiang Kai-shek stood proudly on the car, while slightly shaking his right hand, he quietly said to the French commander Danz sitting next to him.

"Hehe, I can hear the sarcasm in your words." Danz replied coldly with a gloomy face, "However, what I am most concerned about now is whether you can keep your promise."

"Of course I will keep my promise. No, it should be said that. Of course our empire will abide by the treaty we signed. All dragon army soldiers who made trouble in Paris will be severely punished by military courts without exception. You should believe in our management level , Long Jun can be called a model management in both Greece and Turkey." Chiang Kai-shek said: "General Danzi, is there anything after the review?"

"What do you want me to do, General Jiang?" Danz asked strangely.

"Please help me prepare a bouquet of flowers, I'm going to meet someone." Chiang Kai-shek said lightly.

At 6:14 am on June 8th.Feng Xianghua, Minister of the Supreme Command, flew to Paris by plane.He rode a tall white horse in a makeshift military parade specially prepared for him.This is the third time he has entered the capital of another country on a white horse after Prague and Vienna.After the review, the old man did not make any stops in Paris.He just took out the emperor's letter and appointed Chiang Kai-shek as the commander of the Paris garrison.After Feng Xianghua left, Chiang Kai-shek called Danz, the French commander in Paris, and all his commanders above the division level to the Invalids in Paris.

The Invalides in Paris is an architectural masterpiece of the seventeenth century. This majestic Invalides (Military Hospital) is 210 meters long and 109 meters wide. It was built by Louis XIV for the treatment and accommodation of veterans. It can be said to be the most representative of Paris. One of the most famous buildings in the classical period.

All the French-style geometric gardens and verdant linden trees are endless, extending all the way to the banks of the Seine.The sun and lily emblem on the gate are the symbols of Louis XIV, which could accommodate 4000 people at that time.There is a museum with a rich collection of weapons and weapons technology in the courtyard; from medieval swords and guns to the most modern weapons today.

Chiang Kai-shek and his party came here under the guidance of Danz, commander of the Paris garrison.They passed through the corridor formed by a row of eighteen bronze cannons in front of the entrance of the courtyard.Since the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, these cannons have fired eighteen salutes on important days in France.Both sides of the salute were already full of fully armed Dragon Army soldiers.

"Your Excellency, what do you mean?" Danz asked the soldiers in surprise, pointing to the wooden boxes at the soldiers' feet.

"Nothing?" Chiang Kai-shek replied lightly: "I just want to express my respect to your great emperor!" After speaking, he took the lead and walked in.

They walked through the atrium to the other end of the Invalides Hospital, where a royal church with a semi-circular spire stood. This round church was completed by the architect Bangsar in 1706. At that time, in order to praise the greatness of Louis XIV's era, Bangsar assembled Combining various styles of classical architecture, it took 11 years and 2700 gold francs to complete this masterpiece.The spire of the entire church is 107 meters high, with neat proportions and coordinated front columns, giving people a solemn and majestic feeling.It was originally a church for praying for wounded soldiers, but now it is where Napoleon's mausoleum is located.

"Strange! Why is this Joseph Napoleon, and there are also the tombs of Joffre and Vauban? What about the coffin of His Majesty the Emperor?" Looking at the empty church and several coffins of different shapes around him, Chiang Kai-shek asked curiously next to people.

"Your Excellency, this domed church adopts a double-layer design. The altar, exhibits, and the tomb of Napoleon's two brothers and the famous general are all on the upper floor, while the tomb of Emperor Napoleon is on the lower floor." Danz explained in a low voice.

"General!" Just as Chiang Kai-shek and the others were about to enter the lower level, Bai Chongxi, who was standing behind, came out.Pointing to the graves of the two World War I French marshals Foch and Gonsa Voliotte, he whispered to his boss: "These two guys are the supreme commanders of the French army in World War I, and they are also the ones who blocked our final advance." Old fellow. See if we blow up these two damn things. As long as you agree, I will send combat engineers at once!"

"Ah? This... This is too..." After hearing Bai Chongxi's words, everyone was shocked.Danz was the most surprised. He really didn't understand why the young major general was so obsessed with the tombs of the two French marshals from World War I.

Of course, Chiang Kai-shek knew that this was because Bai Chongxi was almost shot as a guerrilla back then, so he has always been worried about it.This time he proposed to blow up the tomb, but he just wanted to let out a sigh of relief for himself.

Who is up and down: World War III (Closed volume) Chapter 220, Nine, The Great Looting of Paris

"How can you say that?" Chen Changjie said, "Although they were our enemies, they were also soldiers. As soldiers, you must respect each other. Now you send engineers to blow up their graves and spread the word Everyone in the world thinks that our imperial soldiers are villains who must take revenge. You should think about it carefully!"

Chiang Kai-shek slowly came to the coffin of the famous World War I marshal Fuxi.This coffin is actually a sculpture, eight statues dressed in French military uniforms, holding Fuxi's coffin high.Chiang Kai-shek patted the thigh of one of the statues, and then said lightly: "This is simply a work of art. If this kind of work of art is destroyed, we will be the sinners of history." After a pause, he continued: "What's more, I I'm also worried that my grave will be blown up in later generations after my death, so forget it!"

一行人顺着台阶来到了军荣院的下层。整个下层是用大理石建造的圆形墓穴,深壁上刻有“迭戈1796年4月14日15日、里沃利1797年1月14日、奥斯特利茨1805年10月17日-12月2日、耶拿1806年10月14日、埃劳1807年2月14日、弗里德兰1807年6月14日、瓦格拉姆1809年7月5日6日、博罗迪诺1812年9月7日。”

Every time Chiang Kai-shek walked past a statue, he would read the name of a glorious battle commanded by Napoleon and the date of its occurrence, and the accuracy surprised everyone present.Everyone had to quietly follow behind him.

After more than ten minutes like this, Chiang Kai-shek finally turned around, and then he focused his eyes on the coffin with Napoleon's remains in the center of the hall.This coffin is a large red-purple porphyry sarcophagus with a blue-gray marble base. Inside the sarcophagus are white iron coffins, mahogany coffins, two-layer lead coffins, ebony coffins, and oak coffins. Napoleon’s remains are placed in the coffin. innermost.Napoleon's will is engraved on the marble around the coffin.

Napoleon's tomb is designed solemnly, with curves and straight lines intersecting, and the colors are low and dignified.

"Where are my flowers!" Chiang Kai-shek said to Zhang Xuesi who was standing beside him.

"Sir, here!" Zhang Xuesi immediately handed over a bouquet of white lilies.

Chiang Kai-shek reached out to take it, and then he smiled at everyone.Then he said: "I'm sorry everyone, I want to stay here alone for a while." Having said that, he bowed slightly to everyone.

"Okay! Let's stay outside for a while!" Bai Chongxi immediately stood up and smoothed things over.Everyone left the tomb very consciously.Only Bai Chongxi was still cursing as he walked: "I think it's something fun. I didn't expect it to be in honor of the dwarf and a defeated general who was defeated by us. If I had known, I wouldn't have come..." But what he said Before he could finish speaking, Chen Changjie grabbed his ear and dragged him out.

After everyone had left, Chiang Kai-shek walked to the coffin with flowers. He silently placed the bouquet on the marble steps in front of the tomb, and sat down on it.

"I've wanted to see you for a long time." Chiang Kai-shek stroked the extremely smooth coffin and said the first sentence, as if the person inside the coffin was an old friend he hadn't seen for many years, "However, at the beginning I felt that I was not qualified to Come on, the first is that I don’t have much money. The second is because you are the No.1 general in the world, and at that time I was just an incompetent little person who only dreamed of various daydreams. But now, due to the arrangement of fate , gave me the opportunity to be in charge of thousands of troops, and allowed me to express my ambitions. Now I can be regarded as successful and famous. However, I know that my level is far behind you. Maybe I will never Can't surpass you."

Having said that, Chiang Kai-shek sighed heavily, then looked up at the ceiling.The huge dome is carved with beautiful and holy angels.

"I came to you today not to laugh at you. I want you to know that I will follow your example and continue on your track. Now that I have defeated the British at Waterloo, the rest The only thing I want is to go to Moscow to defeat the Soviets. Please give me some time. In three years, at most three years, I will come here again to tell you the news." Just as he finished speaking, there was a crisp cannon sound outside Voice.Here are the dragon soldiers outside firing those cannons at the gate.

"Hehe!" Hearing the sound of the cannons, Chiang Kai-shek smiled, stood up slowly, straightened his clothes, and said, "If God could give me a chance to choose, I would choose to be your opponent and You have a real fight on the battlefield." After speaking, he left here without looking back.

Most of the Dragon Army troops who participated in the military parade in Paris did not stay in this city, and they did not have the opportunity to enjoy the wonderful things that this beautiful city can bring to them.Most of their troops continued south.Travel through Paris to complete the quest to conquer all of France.

The entire defense of Paris was handed over to Chiang Kai-shek and his troops. The French gendarmerie and police in Paris also expressed their cooperation with the Chinese in maintaining order in the city.In order to ensure the tranquility of the entire city of Paris, Chiang Kai-shek stationed the armored and infantry regiments of the Ninth Grenadier Division in the western and eastern suburbs of Paris respectively, while the two battalions of the No. 14 Grenadier Regiment were stationed at the Palace of Versailles.Another battalion was stationed at the two airfields in Paris.The gendarmerie of one regiment is stationed at various intersections in Paris, and the other gendarmerie regiment is directly stationed in the city of Paris.

Chiang Kai-shek's intention in doing this is very obvious, not only to prevent stragglers from entering Paris, but also to prevent those Chinese troops who do not obey orders and like to watch the excitement from rushing into Paris without receiving orders, causing unnecessary inconvenience to the citizens of Paris. panic.

Another task of Guan Xuqing was to let Chiang Kai-shek find the works of art in Paris as soon as possible, especially the works of art in several museums and famous ancient buildings.For this task, Chiang Kai-shek was of course very happy to accept it.Now he is as if a mouse has fallen into a huge grain and rice tank full of grain. In his eyes, it is all those exquisite paintings, marble sculptures and bronze statues.

On the first day of taking over the city, 300 members of the special operations team of the Imperial Security Service arrived in Paris by plane.The first task they took over was to find some of the works of art hidden by the French authorities that were originally placed in the Louvre, including the famous "Mona Lisa" and "Venus" sculptures.

Another part of the agents of the Imperial Security Bureau went to the streets and alleys of the Chinese-occupied area of ​​Paris to find some collectors of famous paintings and recorded the detailed information of these people.Moreover, a team of Chinese employees belonging to the empire's "Oriental Import and Export Co., Ltd." began to appear in several important art markets in Paris. They waved their checkbooks and began to purchase various famous paintings.

During this period, batch after batch of experts also rushed here after hearing the news, searching for the artworks left by the "fleeing hostile elements".

Of course, before this, the imperial agents had already started to act.A large number of people in gray trench coats appeared near several museums and auction houses.The local French gendarmerie and police also knew about the young general’s thirst for artworks, so they informed Chiang Kai-shek of the confiscated artworks and the transaction information of the Paris art market in advance, and asked the other party to decide how to dispose of these artworks.In this way, the authentic works of Rembrandt, Van Gogh, and Monet were carefully confiscated by these departments on the grounds of special protection.A large number of bronze sculptures and marble sculptures were also loaded onto large and small military trucks without anyone noticing, and were transported to the airport silently.Then they were packed and stuffed into a large transport plane.Of course, the fuselages of these transport planes all bear the tactical logo of paratroopers.Its speed was so fast that even the art consultants sent by the empire, who came day and night, didn't even have time to take a look.

Of course, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and some people in the upper echelon of France were quite critical of Chiang Kai-shek and his Imperial Security Bureau's name-grabbing.Within a few days after the Dragon Army captured Paris, French Minister of Justice Raphael Alibert raised objections to the Chinese Gendarmerie Chief of Discipline regarding Chiang Kai-shek's looting of artworks in Paris.He pointed out that this was a blatant violation of the spirit of the occupied areas, but the answer he received was "We have no right to interfere with the affairs of Commander-in-Chief Chiang and the Imperial Security Bureau."

Danz did not publicly express any dissatisfaction. He only asked for the collected artworks to be photographed, classified, and archived, so that they could be used as bargaining weight in possible future peace negotiations.

Li Zongren was more annoyed by this matter.He had complained to Xu Shichang more than once, but Xu Shichang's answer was very simple, "Didn't you also make a lot of paintings in the Netherlands?"

Hearing what Xu Shichang said, Li Zongren immediately closed his mouth.more importantly.He didn't know that the Emperor's Old Summer Palace also contained many treasures, including sky-high works of art such as Michelangelo's "Victory" and Monet's "Seine Estuary at Honfel".

Accompanied by Danz, Chiang Kai-shek and his party "visited" the Louvre. Danz knew what Chiang Kai-shek was thinking, but he could do nothing about it.

The tour guide is a beautiful blonde girl with a typical French romantic tradition, lively and generous.The introduction along the way was very professional and detailed, which made Chiang Kai-shek feel that he had gained a lot of knowledge.

Built in the 13th century, the Louvre was the castle of the French royal family at that time and was used as a treasury and archive.But in 1546, the architect Pierre Lesco rebuilt the Louvre under the commission of the king, so that the palace had a Renaissance style.Afterwards, the royal family authorized several expansions, and after the turmoil of the French Revolution, the overall construction of the Louvre was not completed until Napoleon III.
