Generally speaking, everyone attending the banquet, must dress up like a dog, just like Shepard, comb your hair into an adult’s appearance, and then put on a handsome suit, put a little wax on your hair, do a style, so that whether it is blowing or puffing a girl, it is very faced, but this big brother of yin and yang weirdness, well, Shepard is a little confused whether this guy is here to fight or to chat. Because he is wearing an

olive green M1964 combat uniform with a longitudinal zipper and rank medal on his chest, which should be regarded as the second standard combat uniform used by the French Army after the war, and he is wearing a red beret on his head, such a shape, you say that he went to Algeria to fight, there is no sense of discord, but the other party has a delicate mustache on his face, and a white square scarf is wrapped around the neckline, which Shepard can only evaluate as having an innocent beauty!

“This is?”

“This is Lieutenant François Parde, a combat hero from Algeria!”

“Yes, then I want to thank you for those Algerian civilians!”

Shepard immediately picked up a glass of very light brandy and drank it.

Then he saw the other party’s somewhat distorted face, and Atorian who was trying to hold back his smile.

“That, Mr. Shepard, I correct, the lieutenant is a French combat hero!”

“Oh, yes, sorry! I apologize to you!

Shepard’s serious look suddenly made the people around him laugh anymore, after all, everyone didn’t know if this guy was ridiculing or really didn’t understand, but it seemed that he really didn’t understand!

Algeria is a French colony, after the war crazy independence, France carried out ruthless suppression, but unfortunately due to many factors, in the end, it was not suppressed, can only make it independent.

This is also why François’s face is distorted, because his combat hero was obtained by suppressing the uprising, but Shepard said that he would thank him for the Algerian people, and he was not strange!

“It’s okay, it’s normal, after all, the history of Americans has always been bad!”

So there was a happy laughter around again, which is also an old terrier that can continue forever, in the twenty-first century, Europeans are still laughing at the bad history of Americans.

“No way, the history of the United States is too short, there is nothing to remember at all!”

Shepard’s self-blackness once again made the surrounding people laugh happily, attracting the attention of everyone at the banquet, and the female relatives around did not know what these men were laughing at, but soon they also made a fuss with the men because of various gossip and fashion topics from Europe and the United States. Although Shepard’s

self-blackening has gained a lot of favor, it is obvious that François is not among them, and Shepard’s previous words made him very unhappy, he just came to find fault!

“Mr. Shepard, don’t you know you’ve been on the battlefield?”

“That’s really not true, after all, there is no way to have a good father, people have already fought all the battles I want to fight in my life!”

“No wonder! It seems that it is just a rich child who has come to the house!

“That naturally cannot be compared with the Algerian combat heroes!”

Shepard looked at the man in front of him, the other party was about fifty years old, well, the fifty-year-old veteran Shepard has not seen it, Plomly is a sergeant major for half his life, but fifty years old, and he has to take the rank of lieutenant as a talking point, Shepard is still the first time to see it.

“Just know, I think, it’s better for a young man like you to go home and play with young people’s things…”

“You mean the developer conference, alas, tired of playing, a dozen long-legged big waves almost sat me to death, that’s a waste body!”

The corners of François’s eyes twitched again, he said this, but the developer conference, he had not participated in most of his life, and now the old man had more malice towards Shepard.

“It seems that you really think you can make a name for yourself here, just because of your yellow thugs and a few white overseers?”

“How do you know if you don’t try, is it possible that if you encounter a problem, you will directly raise your hands and surrender?”

“Then you will lose miserably! It is so miserable that there is no return to blood, and there is no place to die!

“Last time an old French man told me this, he taught me to play chess, I guess you have heard his name, Pierre Bilot!”

“Pierre Bilot?”

François was stunned at first, and then his face became more and more difficult, he was not sure if the two people were talking about the same person, but if it was the same, then he seemed to be really not qualified to force Lai Lai here, because the former had a very loud nickname, called Stoney Butcher!

And after the war, that Bilot also became a small official in the French government, and the official position was not large, that is, the district defense minister!

Does this guy in front of him know Bilot?

François struggled for a long time, and finally decided to forget about it, he simply left, and then got into the next door a few white people who were also dressed in military uniform.

“It seems that my peers don’t welcome me very much, right?”

“After all, for them, outsiders like you are robbing the meat in their bowls!”

Atorian shook his glass and said slowly.

“What about you, you’re not French, why don’t you like these guys?”

“I can’t talk about whether I like it or not, François’s people and Ek’s people are engaged in industry monopolies in Katanga province, which is always a little unpleasant!”

“Ek, is that the head of those Belgians?” “Yes, a considerable part of the mercenaries in the Democratic Republic of the Congo were brought by Bob Denard,

Belgians, French, well, and some Moroccans, and later after Bob Denard fell out with Mobutu, the mercenaries he brought were also divided, and François and Ek stayed in Katanga!”

“Oh, he didn’t run with Denard, this guy doesn’t seem to be reliable!”

“What about you?”

Atorian asked thoughtfully.

“Didn’t I say it, we are regular contractors and work according to the contract!”

“So can the contract be cheaper? After all, Europe and the Americas are also old friends for hundreds of years! We have a deep traditional friendship!

“Isn’t it okay to say traditional friendship, Mr. Adrien, the traditional friendship between Germany and France must be deeper than ours, right?”

Shepard frowned and changed himself for a glass of freshly squeezed juice and soda lemonade, this thing tastes better than wine!

“But isn’t Germany and France reconciled? Now we are brothers in one camp!

“Isn’t that more important to settle accounts, and besides, traditional friendship has long been used by the British, and this thing is not worth much!”

“That’s a shame, Mr. Shepard, but I think we’ll be friends!”
