As a member of the Sichuan Navy Observation Group, Chen Shaokuan has been in Europe for several months. Chen Shaokuan is passionately prepared to experience the atmosphere of the war in the center of the war and increase his knowledge.

However, after arriving in Europe, Chen Shaokuan had no trace of joy. His eyes were filled with smoke and artillery fire. The situation on the front line was reported every day in the newspapers. The soldiers were just a string of meaningless numbers. Living and dying were the same. The British quickly dispatched Chen Shaokuan to a destroyer for internship.

However, the first time he went out to sea to escort, the escort fleet was attacked by German submarines. Two coal ships sank into the sea. British destroyers chased the German submarines that were secretly attacked. Unfortunately, the submarine escaped under the cover of Yese. This was the first time Chen Shaokuan had seen the power of the waves, but the next thing was boring. He went out to sea twice. There was no problem with both times and the supplies were successfully transported to France.

After staying at sea for two months, Chen Shaokuan suddenly received a telegram from the country informing him that he was about to be assigned to the Campania for internship. After receiving this telegram, Chen Shaokuan was shocked and even suspected that the telegram was written incorrectly. How could he let himself go to Campania? This was an extremely old warship. It was originally a cruise ship and was about to be demolished. At this time, a war broke out suddenly. The British transformed the ship into an aircraft carrier, but at that time, it was basically not taken seriously by the old warship.

What truly supports the maritime hegemony of the British Empire was the amazing battleship, rather than the ugly and old Campania. Chen Shaokuan himself was also very obsessed with those battleships that could make people excited. After he came to Europe, although Britain and France still looked down on the Chinese, but due to his huge trade with Sichuan and the increasingly prominent position of Chinese workers in the war, Britain and France also maintained some basic respect for the Chinese. Therefore, Chen Shaokuan thought he could intern on a battleship, but the reality was so cruel.

Chen Shaokuan was interested in sending a telegram to the country to inquire about the situation, but he did not do so because the person who sent him the telegram was too special. This was a telegram sent by Qiao Yu, a Southwest tour guide. Chen Shaokuan knew very well that this new master of the Southwest, who was about the same age as his, was a person with an extraordinary vision. He definitely had his own considerations in doing this. Perhaps the aircraft carrier was really worth it!

This time, Chen Shaokuan's destroyer escorted a batch of military supplies from China and sent them directly to Bordeaux, which is the fourth largest city in France and an important harbor. Later Bordeaux was well-known to the Chinese because of red wine. However, Bordeaux is now an important production base and material transportation center in France. At the critical moment of Paris, the French moved here. Now nearly 70,000 Chinese workers have gathered here, becoming the most necessary force to support the operation of this city.

Nowadays, there are more than 260,000 Chinese workers in Europe, and the number is still increasing rapidly. Chinese workers are known for their hard work and wisdom. Chinese people can work tirelessly and have no bad habits. Although there are dead men everywhere in France and blonde girls who are churning out, Chinese workers have not made too many romantic stories. They abide by the rules and are very easy to manage, which makes French zhengfu very satisfied.

However, another characteristic of Chinese workers is that the French are both happy and worried. Chinese people have very excellent learning ability and can quickly learn complex technologies. Now Chinese workers in major factories in France are becoming technical backbone and have been exposed to various core technologies. Now the production lines of the Allied countries are increasingly relying on the support of Chinese technicians. Of course, this is a good thing for France, which is short of population, but those with a little vision will feel the harm of this situation. After the war, these Chinese people will definitely bring technology back to China. At that time, China will definitely start industrializing more quickly based on these workers, bringing huge uncertainties to the Far East, and even France's talent will be learned by others.

For this reason, Britain and France tried their best to limit the entry of Chinese workers into the core link. On the other hand, the Allies began to increase the number of colonial workers. At the same time, they also tried every means to introduce a group of workers from the RIBN to let them balance the strength of Chinese workers.

However, even more tragic results emerged. The colonial workers were forced to come to work, without any enthusiasm, and were stupid, and could only engage in the lowest level of work. Ri himself had good quality, even better than the Chinese workers. However, after entering the factory, these Ri himself tried his best to steal various technologies. Some French officials even said that each ten workers were sent by Ri Yuan, nine of which were spies, which were more hideous and terrifying than the Chinese.

Of course, Chen Shaokuan didn't know the sorrow of Britain and France. After coming to Bordeaux, what was hit by was a Chinese atmosphere. In the Chinese community, the Chinese community was draped in the area not far from the port, with lanterns and gongs and drums. It is the end of February of the Gregorian calendar, and the first lunar month has not yet appeared. In the eyes of Chinese people, there is no first lunar month. They are all during the New Year. Especially these Chinese workers have money in their pockets and are abroad. Therefore, this special New Year is particularly lively, with red lanterns everywhere, and couplets with Fu characters are pasted all over the blocks.

There is a small open space in the middle of the block, where a temporary small stage is built. On the stage, there are a group of Sichuan opera artists performing the Legend of the White Snake. There are also magicians and drums not far away. There are also many Chinese special snacks on the side of the street.

In a daze, this place became a city in China. These were arranged by labor companies. Various artists were hired from China, as well as many chefs, some cooks, some cooks, and some cooks. After some hard work, these Chinese workers were finally able to taste the taste of their hometown. When they saw the operas they liked, the joy in their hearts was naturally unspeakable.

Even many French people participated in it. At the beginning, the French rejected the Chinese and looked down on them. However, as their understanding deepened, the French gradually reduced their vigilance and replaced it with a sense of curiosity. Moreover, these Chinese workers were able to receive special supplies from labor companies and food provided by French zhengfu. In fact, they lived a better life in the war, at least they could eat a full meal, and from time to time they could get some gadgets provided by labor companies, which immediately turned them into relatively wealthy groups.

Chen Shaokuan was watching the change of faces of Sichuan opera with relish. A man in a robe came beside him and smiled at him: "Col. Chen is so free, can he still watch the show?"

Chen Shaokuan immediately recognized the person. This person was Li Zongru, and a celebrity in Sichuan. He was highly valued by Qiao Yu and often worked in some ways. "Mr. Zongru, when did you come to France?"

"I have been here for a week, and I am also working hard and not idle for a moment. I went to the United States last year and came to France again this year!"

"Mr. Li must have come to Europe with a great mission!"

"Well, Colonel Chen has started fighting now, killing the sky and the earth is dark, and tens of thousands of people die every day. France is still passive now, and I'm afraid it won't hold on!"

Chen Shaokuan was also very concerned about the situation in Europe. When he heard Li Zongru say that France could not bear it anymore, he immediately widened his eyes, "Mr. Li, will France be defeated?"

"That won't be that France can no longer bear the huge population consumption. They are ready to compromise first and let Jun Zuo send troops to support them!"

"That's not letting our people be cannon fodder? Junzuo should never agree!" Chen Shaokuan was very aware of the cruelty of the European battlefield. So far, hundreds of Chinese workers have died, some died of bombing, and a ship was directly sunk. If the army was sent over, wouldn't it be a death!

"Col. Chen, some sacrifices are inevitable. Junzuo wants Britain and France to hand over the tariff power. Only in this way will Sichuan send troops to Europe!"

When Chen Shaokuan mentioned the power of tariffs, he immediately woke up. The view of the inspection officer was indeed vicious. If he could take this opportunity to regain tariffs in one fell swoop, it would definitely be a huge help from China. This is a big thing about China's sovereignty. If the sacrifice can be exchanged for tariff power, this sacrifice is worth it.

"Mr. Li, if you can do this, the sacrifice of soldiers will be valuable. I think this can be done!"

"Well, Junzu's vision will not be wrong. After coming to Europe, I clearly felt the powerful power of this collision of powers. In the past, the wars that China fought were more like children playing house. Although China has so many people, we cannot reach the level of mobilization of Britain, France and Germany, even Russia cannot compare with it. China must catch up, otherwise it will be doomed!"

"That's right, Mr. Li, I have been having nightmares recently. In my dreams, the great powers have always organized powerful troops to attack China. We have risen to resist, but facing the planes and cannons, we have no power to fight back, and we are beaten to a mess, with mountains and rivers broken and corpses everywhere. Every time I am scared to death!"

Li Zongru and Chen Shaokuan visited the front line of the war in person. Their knowledge became much broader and their minds became clearer. They also understood Qiao Yu's policies to vigorously establish factories and develop industries. After the industrialization of a country is realized, the powerful power it can produce is indeed not comparable to that of an agricultural country.

"Col. Chen, my father named me Zongru. He asked me to take Confucianism as his priest. Now after I arrived in Europe, I realized that Confucianism can only shape the Chinese people's style. If China wants to become truly strong, it depends on our own strength, technology and industry. I changed one word myself and changed it to Zongwu. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Chen Shaokuan slid his hands and laughed, "Sir, this word is really wonderful to change. Zongwu is the right way!"
