Chapter 56: The Chinese who wants to go home???? The Alps are the highest and largest mountain range in Europe, located in southern Europe. It stretches east-west in an arc shape, with a length of over 1,200 kilometers. The average elevation is around 3,000 meters, with the highest peak, Mont Blanc, reaching 4,810 meters. The mountains are majestic, with beautiful scenery and many peaks covered in snow all year round. The crystal-clear snow-capped peaks, dense forests, and clear mountain streams together form the breathtaking landscape of the Alps. Many major European rivers originate from here, with rich water resources. It is a popular destination for tourism, vacationing, and recuperation, earning it the nickname "the backbone of Europe". Several Winter Olympic Games have been held here.

  In the eyes of ordinary people, the Alps are undoubtedly beautiful and yearned for. However, for the trainees of the 29th Action Bureau of the French Intelligence Agency who go there for mountain training, the Alps are a combination of ice and fire, where opportunities and dangers coexist in perfect harmony. The end of each new recruit's training period is marked by the completion of the Alpine mountain training. Only those who successfully complete all the training courses in the Alps can officially become members of the 29th Action Bureau. Every time they return from the Alps, some people quietly leave on their own or are carried away from the training base.

  As usual, the 29th Action Bureau's mountain training will include two parts: below the snow line and above the snow line. The training below the snow line is not so scary, as it is something that people are familiar with in their daily lives and can adapt to. The dangerous part is the training above the snow line. The accumulated snow and glaciers on the Alps have become the most formidable enemies of the trainees. Every year, 20 meters of snowfall and ancient glaciers make the mountain a very frightening place. Not to mention that the 29th Action Bureau's training takes place in remote mountains where people rarely set foot. One misstep could lead to an abyss waiting for you. Even sitting still, a small stone rolled down by a flying bird can trigger an avalanche. And yet, the trainees of the 29th Action Bureau have to simulate real combat situations in such environments, conducting subjects such as attack and defense, ambushes, infiltrations, and long-distance raids. The key point is that their opponents will be the training instructors who normally teach them these things. The most unfair thing is that the trainees can only rely on their own two legs or skis, while the instructors will use anything including helicopters and motorized snowmobiles. Moreover, they will choose a relatively comfortable place to wait for the trainees to come to them. Of course, there is some flexibility in terms of time limits. It's roughly around the point where the trainees' physical strength is about to be exhausted.

  As usual, after completing these regular subjects, there will be a drill. The drill is carried out in the form of confrontation. The training instructor and the trainees are independent. The training instructor will pre-select the campsite, and then the directing department will make a map of the training instructor's campsite and distribute it to the trainees. The trainees need to find their target according to the map, and then make a long-distance raid, secretly ambush, and when the time comes, regardless of the means, catch people or occupy the campsite is considered passed.

  Normally, after the instructors have selected their campsite, they will go to the ski resort to have some fun. Although they also don't know where the director's department will put those trainees, one thing is certain: the trainees won't be able to reach the instructor's campsite in a day or two. Taking advantage of this opportunity, they can rest well and have some fun. After two days, it will be their turn to lose sleep, constantly on guard against those trainee students. Although according to the exercise regulations, the instructors' room can "die and come back to life" (otherwise there won't be enough for the trainees to catch), but nobody wants to be caught too many times, that would be too embarrassing.

  Bao Yulin had been preoccupied with the matter and didn't have the mood to play around. He started to carefully build his camp. He clearly remembered that he was lucky to have passed the test initially. At that time, Lieutenant Martin (who was a lieutenant at the time) did not stay in the camp but instead hid behind a rock not far from the camp. The guy didn't show his face and would shoot anyone who came near with a rubber bullet. Luckily, just before arriving at the camp, Bao Yulin discovered that there was another trainee in front of him. He quietly followed behind, which is how he discovered Lieutenant Martin. That year, Bao Yulin was one of the few instructors for the captured trainees.

  The camp is just a place, a goal, Bai Yulin believes that no one will really live in the camp. Although the training instructors have some privileges, after all, they are also qualified members of the 29th Action Bureau and are among the most outstanding performers. Suffering a bit for these people doesn't count as anything.

  According to regulations, no camouflage is required in the camp. However, there are still a few days left, and Bao Yulin needs to prepare a place for himself to live.

  Bao Yulin ran around in a circle, found a windbreak rock, and then ran to the middle of the mountain to cut off a large pile of red pine branches. He wanted to use these branches to build a channel similar to an otter's. The difference was that the otter built its channel underwater, while Bao Yulin wanted to build his on the snowy ground. With these red pine branches, in just a few hours, Bao Yulin not only built a channel that could take care of the campsite but also built a small snow house for himself.

  After setting up the observation window, Bao Yulin began to tidy up his own room. As an excellent sniper, he was confident that he could disguise himself perfectly, unless someone knew in advance, no one would be able to discover him.

  Other instructors played for two days, and basically still followed the design method of previous years to hide. Originally, the performances were not only practical but also entertaining, as long as the trainees could find the camp in an unfamiliar environment according to a small proportion of the map, the purpose was achieved.

  No one had expected this. With Bao Yulian's joining, Captain Martin, in order to avenge his arrow wound from last year, specially taught several students the move that Bao Yulian used. Simply put, it was to gather a few people outside the training instructor's camp surveillance area first, and then use one person as a suicide squad, after which everything else would be easy.

  No one had expected that Bao Yulin would turn his camp into a fortress, and as a result, this game ended with the entire training instructor team being wiped out except for Bao Yulin. This was the most disastrous defeat the training instructor team had ever suffered in all these years.

  "Martin! Martin, come out!" After returning to the training base, all the instructors were looking for Captain Martin everywhere. He was the one who made everyone lose face.

  Martin had already known the results of this training, he was very clear that he had made these friends lose face, and they would not let him go. At this time, finding an ally to divert everyone's attention was necessary. Martin was lucky, and there were ready-made things that didn't require much brain power.

  "Bao Yulin, I have a stack of your letters in my hand. If you protect me, I'll consider giving them all to you!" A good way to shift the crisis.

  "Is it really true? Sent from China? Quick, quick, give it to me!" Having been in France for several years, Bao Yulin hadn't exchanged letters with anyone until now. Now that a letter had arrived, it was likely sent by his sister. Bao Yulin prayed silently in his heart, and even his voice trembled as he spoke.

  "The letter came from Lebanon. It must have been sent from China, but before I give it to you, you have to do me a favor." Martin was being secretive and fearful of being found out.

  "No problem, you say!" At this time, no matter what it was, Bao Yulin would probably agree.

  "If they give me trouble, you'll stand up for me." Martin naturally sat up straight. He said as he handed over the few letters in his hand.

  "Understood!" Looking at the familiar handwriting and address on the envelope, Bao Yulin's face broke into a smile. He snatched the letter from Martin's hand. He ran off quickly, wanting to find a secluded spot to slowly read through the letters.

  After reading his sister's letter, Bao Yulin finally understood. The country was still fair, and after investigating the matter clearly, he immediately restored his reputation and even awarded him a first-class merit for his bravery. To make up for it, they even gave his sister a job assignment.

  The only thing that Bao Yulin did not expect was when he returned from Lebanon. He was still unclear about his specific address, so he left the address of the foreign legion in the Lebanese peacekeeping force. Normally, no matter where you are, the peacekeeping forces will deliver the letter to the recipient's hands at the first time. But he forgot that Chinese was not widely spread in Europe and America at that time. After receiving the letter, it took a long time to find someone to translate the recipient's name and address. As a result, the reply that should have been received in half a month was delayed for more than two months.

  Bao Yufeng was in Pan Shi County, left without news, right without news, worried that the letter might have been lost, and consciously wrote several more letters. Who knew it just happened to coincide with the training base organizing a mountain search. This delayed coming down.

  When Bao Yulin rushed out of the room with an excited face, Martin was being condemned by everyone.

  "Hey! Buddies, if you want a good meal, let's drop everything. I'm treating today!" exclaimed Bao Yulin.

  As soon as they heard there was food to eat, no one bothered to argue with Martin anymore. In fact, catching him would only be for the sake of finding a meal. Received a French-Chinese national who came to inquire about visa matters.

  "Mr. Bao Yulin, your Mandarin is spoken very well. It's rare to have a French person speaking such standard Mandarin." The embassy staff usually deal with the French and it's nice to see a Chinese-speaking person who speaks standard Mandarin.

  "Oh, I haven't been naturalized for long, and this time I want to go back home to take a look. What procedures do I need?" asked Bao Yulin cautiously.

  "What's your nationality? This is strange, when can France also grant nationality?" The embassy staff were somewhat perplexed.

  "I became a citizen after joining the French Foreign Legion." Bao Yulin knew that when speaking to visa officers, he had to tell the truth. If they found out he was lying, there would be a high chance of being rejected. "So you got your citizenship like this. How much do you make per month in the Foreign Legion?" The embassy staff had never encountered such a situation before and couldn't help but ask out of curiosity. Of course, investigating income levels was also part of the review process.

  "This, I suppose, is a bit higher than the income of provincial governors at home." Bao Yulin didn't know how to explain it. He knew that embassy staff abroad usually received subsidies. Perhaps explaining it this way would make them understand better. Of course, he had brought his own proof of income.

  "Alternatively, your situation is a bit special, I will report to the ambassador and we will notify you later." After all, Bao Yulin's situation was a bit exceptional, and the staff were not paying attention.

  Bao Yu Lin is clear that his situation is indeed different, after all he has not retired yet, but he can't wait any longer and wants to go home.
