Just as Lin Youde expected, the British and French armies began to gather in Corsica. The Malta Fortress of the British was occupied by the Human Revolution Alliance in the last war. As a result, the British suddenly found that they had no place to assemble their troops. They just sent them to Israel to assemble their troops. The Israelis refused, saying that they could not place so many troops around their military port. Troops, you have no place to stay when you come. As a result, the British had no choice but to gather on the French island. The French are indeed old enemies who have been at odds with the British for so many years. They never miss any opportunity to mock the British. They immediately began to laugh at the British Empire that once "boasted" to rule the vast expanse of waves and now did not even have a foothold in the Mediterranean. Not found. The British immediately became unhappy and without a word transferred the troop transport fleet originally destined for Corsica to Gibraltar. Lin Youde was amused by the British reaction, thinking that although they had been enemies for hundreds of years, they wouldn't play like this. But that¡¯s how people play, you have to accept it even if you don¡¯t accept it. With the blatant gathering of troops by Britain and France, Egypt, which had previously behaved quite courageously, suddenly became weak. While Egypt's ambassadors to various countries tried their best to win international support for Egypt, Egypt's foreign minister also visited everywhere non-stop to solicit reinforcements. The day before the Egyptian diplomatic ambassador arrived in Germany, Lin Youde took his family to the Eagle's Nest for vacation. This Eagle's Nest was originally built as a private residence for Lin Youde and was Lin Youde's personal property. However, Lin Youde "confiscated the army" ", so the guards of the Eagle's Nest were changed from armored hunters to armed personnel from Lin Youde's "Lin's Security Manpower Dispatch Company". This Lin's Security Manpower Dispatch Company is actually Lin Youde's private army. Its nature is similar to that of the East India Company's armed forces. However, Lin Youde put a layer of disguise on it, using the name of "Security Manpower Dispatch", and theoretically It is said that anyone can hire this company to serve themselves as long as they pay money. Mercenaries have existed since ancient times, especially in Western society. Mercenaries have a long history. In the feudal era of Europe, it was quite common for lords to use money to hire soldiers to serve themselves. Some knights even fought for money. Although they could not Get generous commissions, but you can capture enemy knights or nobles on the battlefield and demand ransom. p> Later, with the advent of modern times, the figure of mercenaries seemed to gradually withdraw from the stage of history, and the national army, united by the patriotism of the nation-state, became the main force in the war. But in fact, this is not the case. Although mercenaries are gradually disappearing in Europe, mercenaries are still active in Africa, Asia and other places. Before the East India Company formed its own army, it used mercenaries to protect its interests. Earlier, when the Frenchman Dupleix and the Englishman Cliveux were fighting wits and courage in India, the troops of both sides They are all mercenaries (their battle of wits and courage is so exciting that it could be written in a separate novel, really). In this way, while mercenaries gradually faded out in mainland Europe, they became prosperous in the colonies and became the vanguard of capitalists passing through the colonies. And when time entered the post-war era of another time and space, mercenaries were widely active in third world countries. Africa, South America and Southeast Asia have almost become mercenary paradises, but there are many differences. Mercenaries in Southeast Asia are mainly hired by drug lords, and their main tasks are to protect production areas and provide armed escorts for transportation; mercenaries in South America are complex, including mercenaries who serve drug lords like Mexico and Colombia, and some who work under the banner of the revolutionary army In addition to these "revolutionary armed forces" that carry out activities, there are also armed mercenaries who specialize in providing VIP protection for wealthy people in countries with poor public security such as Brazil, and there are many more; while the composition of mercenaries in Africa is relatively simple: mainly There are two parts. The first is the troops hired by dictators and warlords to protect themselves, and the second is the security forces of various countries' minerals in Africa. In another time and space, the names of mercenary organizations are rarely seen in the newspapers. Blackwater is very famous. In fact, it was only established in 1998. It is a complete junior. Long before Blackwater was established, a country advocating peaceful rise was already sending its veterans to African factories and mines as security guards. In fact, this country originally didn¡¯t want to play this trick - I had only been a gangster for a short time, I felt guilty, and I was afraid of being caught. So at first it hired mercenaries locally in Africa to come and see what was going on, but they found out that Uncle Nimahei was in trouble during the war. There was a fierce exchange of fire between the two sides, and a total of five people were injured and killed in the end! Is it possible that the shooting hit rate is almost infinitely close to zero? Is there an AK that can shoot directly without bursting fire no matter how far away it is? The most important thing is that the sense of responsibility is not high, and the phenomenon of account slipping is particularly serious! This month he disappeared with his gun, and two months later he came back with no money to spend, is it possible? Later, there was no other way, and a certain country could only find its own support in Africa.?¡¯s younger brother, Uncle Black from Tanzania, came to defend his base. After all, Uncle Black from Tanzania was born from his own family, and his military quality is a fraction of that of his own genuine army - don¡¯t underestimate this fraction, just this combat effectiveness. Tanzania¡¯s black uncle is already walking sideways in Africa. Tanzania's performance was pretty good, so a certain country spent a peaceful life in Africa, but then its hands in Africa became longer and longer, and its sub-base moved into some countries that were not easy to deal with. The security work of the sub-base once again encountered difficulties. question. A certain country tried all kinds of methods for this, and even wanted to hire Cuban mercenaries, but in the end they gave up because the Cubans demanded too high a price. There is no other way, so a certain country has no choice but to place a group of veterans into the security department of its own state-owned company and throw them to Africa to guard the gates - the more fashionable name is "paramilitary security personnel". Now, Lin Youde¡¯s Eagle¡¯s Nest is protected by ¡°paramilitary security personnel.¡± Although it is called "paramilitary", the firepower configuration of the guards of the Eagle's Nest may be more fierce than that of the active German army, and their training level is also even worse. After Lin Youde hid in the eagle's nest, he couldn't see anyone he didn't want to see, and no one could do anything to him. The Egyptian Foreign Minister could only stare. ? ** "Actually, if the Egyptians want to see you, wouldn't it be over if you just meet them?" Isabella asked Lin Youde with a puzzled look. At this time, there was heavy snow falling outside the eagle's nest, and the outside of the living room window was pure white. From time to time, there was a whistling sound of wind coming in through the window, echoing in the warm living room. Lin Youde shook the wine glass in his hand and pretended to know the rules of drinking wine, while he answered Isabella's question slowly: "Although our family has retreated behind the scenes, as the head of the family, my every move will still be affected. Widespread attention has been paid to my meeting with the Egyptian Foreign Minister. This action itself has the effect of sending a message to the outside world. Even if I announce that I have broken up with the Egyptian Foreign Minister after the meeting, there will be no substantive results, but others will still think that I am expressing my opinion. "Is this really the case?" Isabella asked doubtfully. Lin Youde nodded vigorously: "It is true, my former Queen. So when I receive guests with national backgrounds, I must think twice." "Okay. So you have no intention of helping Egypt at all. "Why should I help Egypt?" Lin Youde shrugged, "Speaking of which, the United States and Britain were helping Egypt together, and we were helping Israel. Now the British have changed their minds decisively because they see that Egypt cannot handle Israel. Under such circumstances, there is no reason for us to support Egypt. " "It seems that you have a strong opinion against the British." Isabella said with a half-smiling expression. "Guo, generally refers to a man, understand, man." Lin Youde wittily began to use Chinese. And Isabella obviously didn't intend to be slipped by Lin Youde like this, so she reminded: "What you just said was in German. Although it is indeed 'British' when translated into Chinese, the original word in German is not the same." Distinguish between men and women." "Okay, I'm wrong, isn't it?" Isabella smiled slightly and turned to look out the window. "The snow is so heavy that you can't even see the scenery." "I quite like this heavy snow." Lin Youde took a sip of the Lafite in his wine glass and pretended to feel it, but it was of no use. He still had no idea. Taste the difference between this famous wine from the Bordeaux region and the ordinary wine from the Burgundy region. It stands to reason that Lin Youde should have developed a taste for famous wines after traveling through the past twenty years and drinking a lot of famous wines, but this is obviously not the case. It makes sense if you think about it carefully. Lin Youde was fed so much beer in college and he didn't become a beer master. He once went to some home-brew beer festival to work as an on-site NPC, and as a bonus drank a lot of home-brew beer that was said to have incorporated the unique personality of the brewer and was therefore extremely expensive. However, he unfortunately was not able to drink those self-brewed beers. How is brewing beer better than Qingdao, which costs 36 yuan a dozen on the street? Of course, everything has an exception, and that time Lin Youde also drank a special case: he drank beer brewed with oysters - Nima, oyster sauce flavored beer! After Lin Youde drank it, he wanted to buy a bottle with his part-time salary and go back to see how it tasted when mixed with rice noodles. In short, Lin Youde was desperate for his wine tasting skills. There was a time when he thought he had a taste, but later he discovered that it was just an illusion. Isabella kept staring at Lin Youde, seeing Lin Youde dazed by the bit of Lafite left in his hand, and couldn't help but ask: "Is that wine really so good that it can last you so long?" "Of course," Charlie said. The voice came from behind Lin Youde. The French girl elegantly came behind Lin Youde and gently pressed Lin Youde's hand."France, like China, is a country with a strong wine culture. It's normal for people from a country who don't know how to make wine to be unable to understand it." "It's true that China has a wine culture," Lin Youde said Quietly winking at Isabella, "But to be honest, I personally can't taste the difference between those famous wines. Of course, when the alcohol content is much different, you can still feel it by the burning degree in your chest, but the intensity is the same I can't tell the difference between white wine. The same goes for this wine. If you pour a glass of Lafite and another glass of Romanee-Condy (a famous wine from the Burgundy region) and put them in front of me, I can't tell them apart at all. "As soon as Lin Youde finished speaking, Isabella laughed happily: "Hahahahaha, it seems that the majority of people in this room are low-level people, and they can only be arrogant and humble!" "Humph, I just learned a few Chinese words. He's really a British barbarian." "I can speak Chinese better than you!" Isabella slammed the table, "If you don't believe me, let's compete in tongue twisters. Who's afraid of whom? " Charlie's response caused a familiar melody to ring in Lin Youde's mind But before Lin Youde began to recall the melody about motorcycles and the youth lost on the road, Isabella took the lead: "Start with it. To put it simply, four is four, ten is ten, and fourteen is oops!¡± Isabella bit her tongue and blushed like a tomato, while Charlie seized the opportunity and laughed: ¡°What a good one! It's better to say it. Look at me, forty-four uh, four is uh" Isabella rolled on the sofa with laughter, her face even redder than when she was shy just now. "This tongue twister is poisonous. If you don't believe it, ask your dear to read it, and he won't be able to read it well!" "I've finished reading it, how about you go out and run naked on the ridge?" Lin Youde raised his head and stared at Charlie with provocative eyes. "Humph, okay, no one can see it on this snowy day anyway." In fact, Lin Youde took this bet because he knew that no one could see it on this snowy day. He didn't want others to see the graceful body curves of his harem. Then Lin Youde cleared his throat and opened his mouth to come - but it didn't come. "Bullying southerners to have a straight tongue!" Lin Youde complained loudly, and the two girls laughed like fools. Isabella was lying on the sofa, looking like she might roll off and fall to the ground at any time, while Charlie hugged her Lin Youde's neck, chest shaking up and down with laughter, repeatedly rubbed the back of Lin Youde's head. "Forget it, I hurt my pride. I'll quit and you two can play." Lin Youde coughed lightly and put on a serious face, "I'll be the referee. Come on, Isabella, let's do what you're best at." "Okay, The pole is as long as the bench is as wide as the bench" This time Isabella said it smoothly. After speaking, she put her hands on her hips and stared at Charlie with a provocative expression. "Huh, what's so difficult about this!" Charlie immediately threw the tongue twister back to Isabella without waiting for Lin Youde to speak. "Launch an attack", "There's someone coming from the south" For the next ten minutes or so, the French girl and the British girl competed with each other by memorizing more than a dozen tongue twisters. Lin Youde next to him called out "Wow, you're a dignified goddess." The two of them The combined combat power can destroy the existence of a small country like Luxembourg in one fell swoop, but they are using tongue twisters to fight here? Isn't it too out of character? The two here didn't know whether they realized that they were losing a lot of skills now, or whether it was just the high-intensity language output that made their mouths dry and speechless. In short, the two of them stopped in unison after finishing the 20th tongue twister. Attacked, staring at the other person with wide eyes. Both parties were adjusting their breathing, so the chests were rising and falling very violently, making Lin Youde's eyes involuntarily sway along with the surging mountains. At this time, Xiaolu's voice entered Lin Youde's ears: "What are they doing?" Lin Youde looked back and saw Xiaolu lying on the back of the sofa where he was sitting, looking curiously at the two people who were staring at each other. "What's the matter with the snow on your head?" "I was just sitting outside under the eaves watching the snow." Xiaolu pointed out the window, "Dad, it's strange. I felt particularly good after it started snowing outside. You can watch the snow outside for a long time without getting tired of it. "Why?" "Because you are my daughter." Lin Youde looked at the heavy snow outside the window again, "When I was a child, I loved rainy days. On rainy days, I sit on the window sill and put my bare feet outside to soak in the rain. Whenever this happens, I feel very happy. And the heavier the rain, the better I feel.¡± ¡°But outside. It's snowing." Xiao Lu.He asked understandingly, "Isn't it different from rain?" "It's almost the same, so dad, I also like the weather very much now. I've been listening to the sound of the snowstorm outside since the beginning. Don't you think it's great?" "Well, it's great." Xiao Lu grinned, "The sound is very pleasant." "Unconsciously, Xiao Lu actually understands what it means to be artistic," Xia Li praised. "Eh, artistic style?" Xiao Lu tilted her head and looked at Charlie in confusion. Lin Youde stretched out his hand to rub Xiaolu's silky hair and said with a smile: "She doesn't know anything about literature and art. She just directly explained her feelings." "If this is true, wouldn't it be even more powerful? It shows that Xiaolu is born "Ah, am I very good?" Xiaolu asked excitedly, pointing at herself. Charlie nodded without saying a word and affirmed: "Yes, it's amazing." Xiaolu laughed and scratched the back of her head with her big paws, looking embarrassed. Isabella looked at Xiaolu like this and whispered: "It's so cute, I want to have one too." "Same feeling." Charlie nodded. "You guys, please stop trying to put pressure on me like this." Lin Youde spread his hands and said, "This really has nothing to do with me. I have already worked very hard, okay? Look, this time I come to the Eagle's Nest for vacation, I I¡¯ll just bring you two who don¡¯t have children yet! It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to breed for you, it¡¯s just that God is not kind to me.¡± When Lin Youde said this, his mouth was suddenly blocked by Xia Li¡¯s lips. After the lightning kiss ended, Charlie smiled at Lin Youde from a very close distance and said softly: "Of course we know, so we just expressed our love for our children." "Yes." Isa Bella also echoed, and while talking, she moved to sit next to Lin Youde, her body close to Lin Youde, and at the same time glared at Charlie who "took advantage of the opportunity", "We are just expressing our inner motherhood, and we are not blaming my dear. "What do you mean?" (Yesterday's outbreak of more than 20,000 people seemed to have injured the liver)
