- Billard-Jean-Pinault, part of the 3rd French Infantry Regiment Royal Fusiliers.
This year, he has turned eighteen.
He was originally just an ordinary French farmer's boy, although he looked very young. But in fact, he has spent three years in the military and is already a real veteran.
And, it¡¯s still the kind that has seen blood.
Three years ago, he was still a little beggar wandering the streets.
If you are not lucky enough to meet the conscription and be selected. Maybe he would be captured by the security guards, put on a train bound for the Americas, and sent to the Americas.
At the time, he thought he was quite lucky, but now that he thought about it, he realized how much of an opportunity he had actually missed.
¡°If he had been captured and sent to the Americas, as long as he could have survived the more than four-month voyage, he would not have stayed in such a dangerous place now.
At the beginning, the little guy thought he was lucky and would never go hungry again.
However, he was not happy for long at all.
Just six months after he served as a soldier, the war broke out.
??At the earliest, he followed the 3rd Infantry Regiment of the Royal Fusiliers and cooperated with the Portuguese Restoration Organization to attack the Spanish Empire.
Since when, until now, he has never enjoyed a stable life.
War, killing, blood and death have become what he faces every day. And he himself has gone from the initial fear and panic to the state of numbness now.
For three years, the young man felt as if he had spent centuries.
But one thing I have to say is that his luck is actually pretty good.
He and his group of fellow soldiers have changed one after another in the past three years, except for him who suffered a few minor injuries. I haven't encountered any danger yet.
"And he himself has gone from a small cannon fodder soldier to a small officer at the bottom of the corps. There are twenty managers under me, which is really a huge improvement compared to before.
The 3rd Infantry Regiment of the Royal French Fusiliers, and the regiment of the Grand Duke of Arthur on the side of the church alliance. The battle had been fought near Brijan?on in western France.
During the battle, both sides suffered heavy casualties.
However, neither of them could defeat the other, so the two parties began a bloody confrontation in this area that lasted for two and a half years.
Originally, Archduke Al¡¯s side had an advantage in terms of military strength.
However, France received material assistance from the Americas. So I had the capital to fight against Archduke Al.
Archduke Al is the heir to the throne of Poland and belongs to the powerful faction of the Church Alliance.
But in more than two years of fighting, Grand Duke Al's military strength has suffered a lot.
But, the war will still continue, right?
After all, it¡¯s impossible to just withdraw like this after being beaten for this reason.
Even if he wants to. But other people on the church coalition side are not willing either.
Therefore, faced with such a situation, everyone can only grit their teeth and continue to persevere.
For them, only by defeating the enemy and winning this war can they make up for their losses through victory.
If we can¡¯t bear to retreat now, there will be nothing left.
Because of the war, the domestic economy of the church vassal states is not very good. we can even say. It has reached a point where the people are in dire straits.
Therefore, the outcome of this war is particularly important to them.
If they win, they can ask the defeated Portugal and France to spend large sums of money to fill the domestic emptiness.
Failure would be bad.
Of course, on the church coalition side, they don¡¯t think they will fail.
Because no matter how you look at it, their military strength is stronger than that of the Portuguese-French Alliance.
Although the Ottoman Empire is now involved, it is not taken seriously by the Church Alliance.
But actually. The trend of the war was beyond many people's expectations.
Originally, everyone thought that Portugal and France were simply unable to resist the attack of the church coalition.
Even if Portugal and France resist, they cannot resist for too long.
But who would have thought that Portugal and France not only withstood the offensive of the church coalition, but also managed to hold on for more than two years. Let the church coalition side not achieve much results at all.
??As for the Church Alliance, they didn't even break through the French border, and they were held there for more than two years.
The church coalition forces that were unable to break through the military defense lines between Portugal and France would not be able to obtain any benefits from the French.
This made the church coalition very angry.
But the facts are already like this, what can they do.
"We can't all fight like this. Let's withdraw our troops."
It can be said that the church alliance is now red-eyed. And put everything into this war.
It is precisely for this reason that in the past two years, military groups on both sides of the French border have fought in the French border area, turning the combat area into a mill of flesh and blood.
In this regard, Billard-Jean-Pino of the 3rd Infantry Regiment of the Royal French Fusiliers knows best.
¡°For two and a half years, the enemy¡¯s attacks never stopped, day or night.
The enemy¡¯s attack methods are also varied.
Of course, basically when considering avoiding large losses, the number of times a small attack group consisting of a few people is dispatched is the most.
?Originally, Billard-Jean-Pino thought that this kind of waste would definitely last for many years. But I don¡¯t know why, but starting from half a month ago, the enemy¡¯s attack actually stopped.
The French war zone, which was originally in full swing, actually ushered in a strange half month without fighting.
This makes many people who are used to fighting every day feel a little uncomfortable and even feel uncomfortable.
This is not to say that soldiers like war and killing, but that in long-term confrontations, those veterans have become accustomed to living such a life every day.
Habits are very scary.
This is why veterans feel uncomfortable after not fighting for half a month.
??????? Billard-Jean-Pino. Responsible for guarding a small hill. This place is still 500 meters away from the base camp of the Portuguese-French Allied Forces, so it is a relatively safe area.
But during this half month, he was on tenterhooks every day and did not dare to take it lightly.
More than two years of war career. He is no longer the novice he once was.
I have seen a lot, heard a lot, and especially experienced a lot.
The more this happens, the more cautious he becomes.
War is different from other things. If something goes wrong, it will cost you your life.
so. During this half month, even though the area where he was stationed was very safe, Villarreal-Jean-Pino was still in a state of alert and nervousness every day.
Who knows what Archduke Al and his Polish Legion are doing now.
What if the enemy on the opposite side has any conspiracy?
It¡¯s just because one of my own people speaks softly and cannot influence the overall situation.
Otherwise. Pino believed that he must advise the general to be careful of the Polish Army on the opposite side.
Although you can't control the general trend, there is nothing wrong with being careful.
????????????????????????? If the Poles really have a big outbreak, I can see the opportunity quickly and escape.
¡°I have to say that Billard-Jean-Pino is still a relatively smart guy.
There are many people who think the same as Billard-Jean-Pino. Most of them are veterans at the bottom.
Unlike these veterans, the newly recruited soldiers are extremely happy every day.
For new recruits like them, what could be happier than not having to fight every day.
Yes, there is no killing without fighting, and there is no death without killing.
After all, this is a war, and no one can guarantee that they will survive.
But as long as there is no fighting, then there will definitely be no threat to your personal safety, right?
These recruits are very simple and have very simple ideas.
"Second Lieutenant, come on. Let's have a cigarette."
A young man with black hair and black eyes, wearing beautiful red clothes, came over, then sat down beside Pino casually, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it over.
"Ugh, cigarettes from America. These cost a lot of money." Although he said this, Pino's hand did not stop. He took the cigarettes handed over by the young man, took one out skillfully and put it in the end.
Ping!
The young man with black hair and black eyes lit up the cigarette.?Smoke rose.
Phew!
He took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled the smoke from his mouth.
Although cigarettes are expensive, Pino will not be polite to this young man. Because this young man is very rich. His monthly salary is more than ten times or even dozens of times his own.
Thinking about this, Pino couldn't help but sigh.
They are all about the same age, but they are so rich.
To be honest, there is a powerful country behind them.
Yes, the young man with black hair and black eyes sitting next to Pino is a Chinese descendant of the Song Empire.
Because the Empire established several concessions here in Marseille, many Chinese people from the Empire haunted France.
Some are responsible for doing business, while others are responsible for collecting intelligence and related information.
¡°For example, the young man sitting next to Pino is an intelligence officer who specializes in collecting information from both warring parties.
For these people from the Song Empire, the Portuguese and French armies did not reject them.
Even, due to some special reasons, they can still pass through the military without hindrance.
It has to be said that people in the Song Dynasty really enjoyed themselves.
"I envy you. One month's salary is more than a big-headed soldier like me who fights life and death. I really regret it now. It would have been better if I had not been a soldier and been captured and taken to America."
Pino spit out the smoke in his mouth, and he really regretted it when he thought about this.
When the young man of Imperial Chinese origin sitting next to him heard this, he just smiled and did not respond to Pino's words.
"We have sent another batch of supplies, and your general has signed for them. I just don't know how long it will take for them to be sent out. Why don't you go take a look and think of a solution?", the young man said about this arrival. Here's the reason.
Pino flicked the ashes of his cigarette and said with a normal expression: "This has nothing to do with me. It won't be of any use if I go there. Those generals want to make a fortune, do I still have to stop them? I haven't lived enough, and I still need to Live a few more years, and if possible I would live to be 100 years old."
"You are the only one who is smart.", the young Chinese genetic man laughed and cursed, then took out a small square box from his arms, "Please keep this product, I wish you a fortune."
As soon as Pino saw the small square box, he immediately flicked the cigarette in his hand away, and picked up the box with excitement in his eyes.
¡°Haha, let¡¯s all get rich together.¡±
As he spoke, he opened the square box, and an abnormal flush slowly appeared on his face. The young genetic man of Chinese origin knew at a glance that this guy named Pino was in extreme excitement.
"My sales have been very good recently, and more and more people are buying Fushou ointment from me. So the goods I have on hand are always in short supply, so I wonder if you can increase my supply?"
It is not difficult to tell from Pino¡¯s words that he and this young man of Chinese origin have a cooperative business. And the products they sell are actually longevity ointments - Didn't finish reading?
