Although Logan and Victor left with Kai and the others, it does not mean that they are in the same group. A more reasonable statement is that Logan and Victor have nowhere to go, so they plan to hang around Kai for a while, which is equivalent to mercenaries.

The turmoil that Victor caused before exposed their abnormality. In this world, abnormalities are not welcome. Logan and Victor have the most say in this. Logan was born in Ontario, Canada in 1832, which is also a member of the British Empire. Victor is a few years older than him and was born in 1829.

From Logan's awakening ability to the present, they have been wandering for almost 70 years. Don't they want to find a place to live a low-key and normal life in anonymity? Of course not. Their abnormality makes it impossible for them to live a normal life. Every place they go, they can't live for long. People can't accept abnormalities like them at all. They thought about trusting others, but what they got in return was hatred, betrayal, and hunting.

Before on the ship, many people had already seen their abnormality. If they continued, some troubles would find them sooner or later. So the two who had nowhere to go decided to stay with Kai.

They could see that Kai's identity was very special in the British government. He and the two of them had extraordinary abilities, but the treatment between them was very different.

Logan and Victor looked at themselves. They were in their eighties and could only carry rifles as soldiers. What about others? Not only did they have the title of duke, but they also had special treatment wherever they went. The British were so miserable, but the supplies for Kai were still top-notch. →

From here, we can see the difference between Kai and the two of them. In this case, why should they leave? At least staying with him would not do them any harm. As for the future, let's talk about it later.

As for the fact that they bowed down to Kai after seeing him, it was impossible. Whether it was Logan or Victor, they were unruly in their bones. If it weren't for this unyielding character, they might not have lived to this day.

...

Paris, France, has become a giant position only since the Battle of Verdun. The French government was very manly this time. They mobilized the entire city, starting from the suburbs of Paris, digging trenches and building positions, and even the Champ de Mars in front of the Eiffel Tower was not spared.

Many civilians in the city were relocated, but many people stayed. Men fought for the last dignity of the country, and women were also doing what they could. Arsenals were built in the Louvre and the Champs Elysees. This left the city with little artistic atmosphere, but instead it was filled with the smell of gunpowder everywhere.

Kai sat in the car and looked at Paris, which was completely different from his previous memory. Kai was also full of emotion in his heart. In Kai's impression, the city of Paris was not tough at all.

In fact, this was Kai's prejudice. France during World War I was completely different from that during World War II.

At this time, a large number of French citizens firmly believed that this was a war of revenge, to recover Alsace Lorraine lost in the Franco-Prussian War, rather than to compete for colonial interests. France even transferred colonial troops back to the mainland for defense. By now, every French person knows that if the war fails, France will cease to exist. Germany and France have accumulated too much hatred in this war.

Whether it is for revenge or for survival, the French cannot allow defeat.

As for why they were so cowardly in World War II, it was precisely because France was so miserable in World War I. In terms of human resources, they almost lost a whole generation. The economic losses were even more severe. Before the war, France had always made huge profits by usury and lent money to the whole world. However, for the war, it was forced to import a large number of goods and was forced to borrow money to cope with the huge trade surplus. After the war, France became a debtor country.

This is only the visible aspect. The losses in other aspects are even more severe. This is why France was so harsh on Germany after the war.

And these injuries were still not restored in World War II. So it left people with the impression that France was very weak.

Based on these impressions, Kai felt that the current situation in Paris was very unexpected. Because the current French government has never thought of surrendering to Germany. The war has been going on until now. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, they must continue the war, otherwise all the losses in the early stage will be in vain.

Driving in the city, you can still hear the rumbling sound of artillery fire from time to time.

This is not surprising. Since the fall of Verdun, Paris is not far from the front line. It is also because of this that there are wounded soldiers everywhere along the way. Some have their parts knocked off, some have broken heads, some have broken hands and feet and are carried down. There are also many soldiers with bandages on their eyes and sores on their bodies. They are lined up and led forward. In short, none of them are intact.

"What's wrong with those people? Do the Germans like to blind other people's eyes?" Victor was a little curious about the group of soldiers with bandages on their eyes.

"That's poison gas!" Ah Fu looked at the miserable state of those soldiers, and endless grief and indignation surged in his heart.

Poison gas was used on a large scale in World War I, although the effect of this weapon was not very good. In an open place like the battlefield, no matter how strong the poison gas is, it will be blown away by the wind in a short time. But the poison gas brought more fear to the soldiers of both sides than bullets. The poison gas is irritating and corrosive, and it is very corrosive to the human body, causing skin blisters and ulcers, blindness, and other consequences. The scene was too tragic and made people live a life worse than death.

That’s why poison gas is so repulsive, because it’s too inhumane. Of course, this is also for ordinary people. For those big guys, it doesn’t matter whether it’s humane or not. The reason why they banned the use of poison gas after World War I was precisely because it was ‘too humane’! As for the reason, I just said that the actual combat value of poison gas is actually very limited. It may work well in a small range, but when used on the battlefield... the effect is actually very general.

Of course, this is a later story. Anyway, now, poison gas still makes many people feel scared.

“You Europeans are really crazy. At least in terms of killing yourself, we Americans can never catch up with you.” After listening to Ah Fu’s explanation of the effect and principle of poison gas, Victor immediately looked at Ah Fu with a mocking face, which was a revenge for Ah Fu’s previous contempt for them Americans.

However, Victor would never have thought that in a few decades, Americans would be far ahead of the world in how to destroy humanity.

Ah Fu really couldn’t argue with Victor on this point. After all, according to the current time period, Europeans are ahead of the United States in all aspects. Military is even more so. Before the war broke out, no one had thought that the war would be so brutal. They were shocked by their own cruelty.

So many people believed that this world war would be a war that was unprecedented and would never be repeated.

Soon the convoy entered a military camp.

As soon as Kai got out of the car, a tall figure suddenly came up and hugged Kai.

"You are finally here, let's end this war quickly!"
