Europe was at war with each other, and the Republic of China was in trouble.
At the beginning of the year, Prime Minister Duan Hefei ordered a nationwide disarmament, and the military governors in various regions were more or less reduced, and then trouble broke out in Sichuan.
In early April, Liu Cunhou, commander of the Sichuan Army's Second Division, and Chen Zepei, the dismissed commander of the Fourth Division, attacked Sichuan Governor Luo Peijin on the pretext of unfair troop cuts.
Luo Peijin served as Cai E's chief of staff during the War to Protect the Country. When he was the governor of Sichuan, he implemented the policy of strengthening Yunnan and weakening Sichuan, which had long aroused dissatisfaction among the Sichuan army generals. This time, on the excuse of unfair troop reduction, it was just an outbreak of conflicts.
This was also the first warlord melee in the Republic of China, and it started the warlord melee dungeon in the Republic of China.
As Duan Zhiquan's confidant and favorite general, Qin Yunpeng was transferred back to the Republic of China by Duan Zhiquan and served as the governor of Sichuan to quell the rebellion.
This is actually Duan Zhiquan's move to protect Qin Yunpeng. The loss of the second brigade has not yet spread in the country. If the actual battle situation is known in the country, and Qin Zhiyuan's first brigade is used as a comparison, Qin Yunpeng may not be able to turn around in a short time. .
Now Duan Zhiquan has transferred Qin Yunpeng away, and then entrusted all the military forces of the Republic of China in Europe to Qin Zhiyuan. This is in the hope that Qin Zhiyuan will reciprocate and help Qin Yunpeng take the blame.
In order to make Qin Zhiyuan willing to bear the burden, Duan Zhiquan promoted Qin Zhiyuan's major general rank to lieutenant general, and then promised to increase the export of manpower to Europe, and gave Qin Zhiyuan the right to mobilize all the manpower of the Republic of China in Europe.
Qin Zhiyuan did not resist the scapegoat, but Qin Zhiyuan was still heartbroken when he thought of the five thousand disciples who died in battle.
Despite the blockage, people still have to look forward.
After obtaining the personnel rights, Qin Zhiyuan immediately went to Hu Weide to check all the human resources of the Republic of China in Europe.
Only then did Qin Zhiyuan realize what he had almost missed.
Although there are less than 10,000 people in Qin Yunpeng's army, there are more than 100 people who have studied in Europe and the United States, and many of them are in first-class universities at this time. In terms of the proportion of higher education, it is higher than Qin Zhiyuan's. A trip is much higher.
After the start of the World War, some of these people stayed in Europe because they had not completed their studies, some came to Europe from the United States to participate in the war because they wanted to serve the country, and some stayed in Europe because they had no room to perform after returning home.
After Qin Yunpeng established his own mountain, unlike Qin Zhiyuan's idea of language learning, Qin Yunpeng spent his main energy on training soldiers' military skills. Then the army needed a large number of translators, so these top students responded to the country's call and joined the first army. Second Brigade.
Fortunately, Qin Yunpeng still had some sense, so Qin Yunpeng did not send these people to the battlefield when the war was at its most intense. Otherwise, Qin Zhiyuan would have probably caught up with Qin Yunpeng's train in a plane and shot him.
Among these international students, the majority are studying literature, and only a dozen are studying science and engineering. This is also a common phenomenon at this time, emphasizing literature and neglecting science. According to traditional Chinese customs, studying literature is the key to studying and becoming an official. The great road, learning principles is reduced to the shady skills of the small road.
I don’t care whether I still insist on this idea is right or wrong, but when I think about it, studying literature is probably the laziest way, because the science and engineering majors emphasize that you have to devote yourself to knowing something, while the literature majors, Just sit there and talk nonsense.
Of course, regardless of whether you study science, engineering or literature, as long as you reach the level of higher education, it will be useful.
The schools and research institutes on Corsica are nearing completion and require a large number of teachers and researchers. These highly educated talents come at the right time and can alleviate Qin Zhiyuan's problem of insufficient manpower.
But this was not enough. After discussing with Hu Weide, Qin Zhiyuan sent a telegram to the country, requesting that more international students be sent to Europe or the United States to systematically learn theoretical knowledge and advanced technology. If these international students need to pay the Beiyang government
If he is unable to bear it, Qin Zhiyuan will bear it alone.
If Qin Zhiyuan is responsible for it alone, Qin Zhiyuan also has requirements that all students must study science and engineering and return to serve the country for at least ten years after graduation.
Regarding this issue, Duan Zhiquan readily agreed. Duan Zhiquan also knew the importance of talents, but the domestic affairs had not yet been sorted out, so he could not take this aspect into consideration for a while.
Those who can become the prime minister of a country, or in other words, no matter in any era, as long as they can become a person above others, they will always have their own merits. They are not as stupid as pigs as described in some history books.
Most books are biased.
It only took one night for Qin Zhiyuan to complete the adjustments on paper to the first and second brigades.
After adjustment, the 1st and 2nd brigades will form one division, which is the 1st Division of the Foreign Legion.
This division has two infantry brigades and an armored regiment, as well as a divisional artillery regiment. In addition, there are logistics battalions, rescue battalions, engineering corps communications battalions and other units. The military chiefs of each ministry are ready-made. Chen Kangjian is the armored commander.
The regiment leaders, Liu Zizheng and Ge Lifu, served as brigade commanders of two infantry brigades respectively, while Zheng Dali was also in charge of the artillery.
However, the chief officer of the Logistics Department was not Qin Zhisheng, but Huang Fugui, who had joined the military. Qin Zhisheng stayed in Corsica and served as the chief military and political officer of Corsica.
Zhang Tianshou, who originally stayed in Corsica to train new recruits, was sent to Borneo. With a training group of about a hundred people, he would open a training camp in Borneo under the name of a protective umbrella, and at the same time send personnel to protect Borneo.
The industry of the Chinese on the continent.
After reorganization, the First Division has more than 20,000 troops. The ratio of veterans to recruits is about one to one. With the old leading the new, combat effectiveness can be quickly formed.
After Qin Yunpeng returned to the Republic of China, Qin Zhiyuan resumed his monopoly of power. The Chinese workers sent to Europe by the Republic of China, plus the Chinese workers sent by Huang Bohan, added up to almost 20,000 people every month, and a quarter of these people would
Join the army, a quarter will stay in Corsica to strengthen construction, and the remaining half will be sent to the Renault factory to become industrial workers with certain processing capabilities.
When Qin Zhiyuan sent people away to the Renault factory, he did not forget to take people out. On the current Corsica island, in the mountains northeast of Thunder City, a secret factory is under construction, and this place will become Qin Zhiyuan's hand.
’s first factory.
A factory that belongs entirely to Qin Zhiyuan.
There is no need to emphasize the significance of industry. There is no doubt that it will occupy the most important position and will remain unchanged. As early as when Qin Zhiyuan first started cooperating with the old Renault, he had consciously trained all kinds of workers, whether they were lathes, fitters, welders or even
He is a stevedore. As long as it is related to industry, Qin Zhiyuan will not let him go.
For more than half a year, this kind of training has begun to bear fruit. In the Renault factory, there are workshops composed entirely of Chinese people, which can independently produce almost all military supplies from gunpowder to tanks. As long as Qin Zhiyuan is willing, he can set up a workshop at any time.
It is a factory composed of Chinese people.
Only with the ability to be self-sufficient can Qin Zhiyuan gain a firm foothold.
