When the company commander and the members of the delegation arrived at the entrance of the French Expeditionary Army Headquarters, they were immediately intercepted by the soldiers guarding the headquarters.
After a brief exchange, the guard glanced at the delegation behind the company commander and said in a flat tone, "Please wait here, I will go and report!"
Having said that, the soldier turned and entered the headquarters.
After a while, the adjutant came out with the soldier. He looked at the delegation and pointed to them, "Please follow me!"
The Russian delegation followed the adjutant into the headquarters and arrived at the door of Commander Pelissier's office.
The adjutant gently knocked on the door, and on the other side, Pelissier's voice came through, "Come in!"
Upon entering the office, the Russian delegation saw Marshal Pelissier sitting on a sofa near the desk.
Of course, Marshal Pelissier also saw the members of the Russian delegation.
