Although Logan and Victor left with Kai and the others, that didn't mean they were in the same group. A more reasonable statement is that Logan and Victor have nowhere to go, so they plan to hang out with Kai for a while, which is equivalent to mercenaries.
The turmoil caused by Victor made them exposed that they were different from ordinary people. In this world, strange people are not welcome. Logan and Victor have the most say on this point. Logan was born in Ontario, Canada in 1832, which makes him a member of the British Empire. Victor was born in 1829, a few years older than him.
They have been wandering for almost 70 years since Logan awakened his powers. Don't they want to find a place to live a low-key, normal life incognito? Of course not, their differences from ordinary people make it impossible for them to live a normal life. Everywhere they go, they can't live long. People simply cannot accept aliens like them. They thought about trusting others, but all they got in exchange was hatred, betrayal, and pursuit.
Many people on the ship had already noticed their abnormality. If they continued, some trouble would come to them sooner or later. So the two people, who had nowhere to go, decided to hang out with Kai.
They could see that Kai's status was very special among the British government. He obviously had abilities that were different from ordinary people like the two of them, but their treatment was very different.
Logan and Victor looked at themselves. They were both in their eighties, and they could only carry rifles as heavy soldiers, but what about others? Not only does he have the title of Duke, but he also gets special treatment wherever he goes. Even the British are so miserable, and the supplies for Kai are still top-notch.
From here you 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 such a thing as bowing one's head and worshiping Kai after seeing him, that is simply impossible. Both Logan and Victor are rebellious at heart. If it weren't for this unyielding temper, they probably wouldn't be alive today.
…
Paris, France, has become a giant position just after the Battle of Verdun. The French government seemed very manly this time. They mobilized the entire city, starting from the suburbs of Paris, digging trenches and building positions, even the Champ de Mars in front of the Eiffel Tower.
Many civilians in the city were relocated, but many people still stayed. Men fought for the last dignity of the country, and women were doing what they could. Arsenals were built in the Louvre and the Champs Elysées. As a result, there is not much artistic flavor left in the city, but instead the smell of gunpowder smoke is everywhere.
Kai sat in the car and looked at Paris, which was completely different from what he remembered in his previous life. Kai was filled with emotions. In Kai's impression, Paris is a city that has nothing to do with toughness.
In fact, this is Kay'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 to assist in defense. The war has been going on until now, and every French person knows that once the war fails, France will cease to exist. Germany and France have accumulated too much hatred in this war.
Whether it was for revenge or survival, the French could not allow defeat.
As for why they were so timid during World War II, it was precisely because France fought so badly in World War I. In terms of human resources, they lost almost an entire generation. Economically, France suffered heavy losses. Before the war, France had always used usury to make huge profits and lent money to the world. However, for the war, it was forced to import a large amount of goods. In order to cope with the huge trade imports, it was forced to borrow money. After the war, France was reduced to debt. country.
This is only the visible aspect, and the losses in other aspects are even more severe. This is why France was so harsh on Germany after the war.
These injuries were still not recovered by World War II. Therefore, people were left with the impression that France was very weak.
Based on these impressions, Kay felt that the current situation in Paris was unexpected. Because the current French government has no intention of surrendering to Germany. The war has been going on so far, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, they must continue the war, otherwise wouldn't all the early losses have been in vain?
As we drove through the city, we could hear the roar of artillery fire from time to time.
This is not surprising, since the fall of Verdun, Paris has not been far from the front line. It is also because of this that there are injured soldiers everywhere along the way. Some parts have been knocked off, some have broken heads, some have severed hands and feet and have been carried down. There are also many with bandaged eyes and bodies. There were soldiers covered with sores, lined up in a row, being led forward, but none of them was intact.
"What's going on with those people? Do the Germans like to blind other people's eyes?" Victor was a little curious about the group of soldiers with bandaged eyes.
"That's poisonous gas!" Ah Fu looked at the miserable condition of those soldiers, and felt endless grief and indignation 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 a battlefield, no matter how powerful the poisonous gas is, it will be blown away by the wind in a short time. But the poison gas brought more fear to the soldiers on both sides than the bullets. Toxic gas is irritating and corrosive, and is very corrosive to the human body, causing skin blisters, ulcers, blindness, and other consequences. The scene was so tragic that life was worse than death.
That's why poison gas is so repulsive, because it's so inhumane. Of course, this is also for ordinary people. For those big shots, there is no difference between humaneness and inhumanity. The reason why they banned the use of poison gas after World War I was precisely because poison gas was 'too humane'! As for the reason, as I just said, the actual combat value of poison gas is actually very limited. It may be effective when used in a small area, but when used on the battlefield... the effect is actually very average.
Of course, this is a later story. Anyway, poisonous gas still scares many people now.
"You Europeans are really crazy. At least when it comes to killing yourself, we Americans will never catch up with you." After hearing Ah Fu explain the effects and principles of poison gas, Victor immediately looked at Ah Fu with a mocking look on his face. , it can be regarded as revenge for Ah Fu’s previous contempt for them Americans.
However, Victor would never have imagined that in a few decades, Americans would be far ahead of the world in how to destroy mankind.
It's really hard for Ah Fu to argue with Victor on this point. After all, according to the current time period, the Europeans are ahead of the United States in every aspect. The military is even more so. And before the war broke out, no one thought that the war would be so tragic. They themselves were shocked by their cruelty.
So many people believe that this world war will be unprecedented and unprecedented.
Soon the convoy entered a military camp.
As soon as Kai stepped out of the car, a tall figure suddenly came up to him and hugged Kai.
"You are finally here, let us end this war quickly!"
