Qin Zhiyuan became a French citizen, which unintentionally conformed to the tradition of the Foreign Legion.
Within the French Foreign Legion, no matter which country the soldiers are from, the military commander is always French.
The establishment of the Chinese army was somewhat accidental. At that time, the French Army Ministry had not yet had time to appoint a commander, so Qin Zhiyuan could only temporarily serve as the chief military officer.
Unexpectedly, Qin Zhiyuan became famous in one battle on the battlefield. The Angel's reputation spread throughout half of Europe, and the matter of changing the commander ended in vain.
As the war deepened, the performance of the Chinese troops was outstanding, and Qin Zhiyuan also became a French citizen. It was reasonable and reasonable for the Chinese troops to expand again.
In this expansion, you may be able to add some Annan people. It seems that Pierre has gathered a lot of information after staying at home for a few days.
It doesn't matter, as long as they are given, I don't pick people here. I will use whoever is given to me. Qin Zhiyuan's requirements for soldiers are really not high.
The success of the Chinese troops has important practical significance. Since the Chinese troops can succeed in France, why can’t the Annamites do the same?
As a part of French Indochina at this time, Annan actually had much more manpower in France than the Chinese, and because Annan was a French colony, the French treated the Annan people far less well than the Chinese. Calculating this, it actually indicates that the Annan people formed
Troops are much more cost-effective for the French than hiring Chinese.
It seems that the relationship between Annan and you Chinese people is really good. Those Annan people have received training for nearly half a year and have completed all basic subjects. They have only one request before going to the battlefield, and that is to designate you as their commander. Look.
Come on, you really are an Eastern overlord from the Far East. Pierre teased you casually.
At the end of last year, the French organized more than 50,000 Annamites into a force that has been training in the rear. Now it seems that the time has come for the Annamites to replace the Chinese as cannon fodder.
Be more polite, don't be like us Chinese, I am also French now. Qin Zhiyuan looked at Pierre with bad intentions, and suddenly said: Since you are my knight, shouldn't you follow me?
I became a citizen of the Republic of China
This seems to be natural.
Aha, I knew you would say this sooner or later. I have already been to your embassy, and their reply was no. Pierre has really considered this issue.
Qin Zhiyuan couldn't understand why he didn't do anything.
For no reason, I asked if I could become a citizen of the Republic of China. The initial reply was that it was yes, but then after learning that my surname was Foch, yes became no. Pierre was expressionless and couldn't tell how he felt.
Qin Zhiyuan immediately understood why. This was caused by the inexplicable mentality of thinking twice before things happen.
If Pierre were an ordinary person, then everyone would be happy to join the Republic of China, which not only proved that the Republic of China was also a desirable country, but also showed the friendship and goodwill between the civil and French countries.
But if the son of the commander-in-chief of the French army wants to become a citizen of the Republic of China, then it would be very intriguing. What is Pierre's intention? What position should Pierre be placed in, how should Pierre's relationship with the Chinese troops be handled, etc.
This person should not think too much. If he thinks too much, he will be afraid of wolves in front of him and tigers in the back. This is how the scholar's rebellion failed for three years.
Pierre said this with a hint of sarcasm and a bit of self-deprecation at the same time.
This may have been the first time that Pierre, as a Frenchman, felt discrimination.
Well, this is not a pleasant experience.
You have to find a pleasant experience by yourself, so when he met Misha again, Pierre regained his fighting spirit and launched another round of offensive against Misha.
When Qin Zhiyuan and Julie were not engaged, Pierre once pursued Misha, but at that time Misha's heart belonged to someone else, and Pierre's love withered before it could bloom.
Now that Qin Zhiyuan has become a married man, Pierre feels that his chance has finally come, so the once-dead heart is ready to move again.
Seeing Pierre chasing Misha away, Qin Zhiyuan shook his head and focused on the telegram sent by Zhang Tianshou.
Zhang Tianshou has arrived in Borneo. Judging from the telegram sent by Zhang Tianshou, the situation in Borneo is worse than Qin Zhiyuan expected.
Borneo in the broad sense refers to the entire Dutch East Indies, which later became Indonesia. Borneo in the narrow sense refers to the island of Kalimantan, which covers an area of 740,000 square kilometers and is the third largest island in the world.
Semarang, where Huang Bohan is located, is located in the middle of Java Island, across the sea from Borneo.
Since the Dutch ruled Borneo, they have generally had a suppressive attitude towards the local Chinese, and have instigated relations between the Chinese and the locals, using the locals to check and balance the Chinese, leaving the Chinese in an isolated and helpless predicament.
According to Huang Bohan's estimate, the number of Chinese in Borneo should be between 800,000 and 1 million, while the number of Chinese in Southeast Asia is about 6 million. Among them are descendants of overseas Chinese who immigrated to Southeast Asia in the early years, as well as those who migrated to Southeast Asia in the 20th century.
If the indentured Chinese laborers from Southeast Asia who have been imported since then are added to the large number of illegal laborers, the figure of 6 million is just a conservative estimate.
Ordinarily, with the one million Chinese in Borneo, it would be easy to raise a team of three to five thousand people, but the facts gave Zhang Tianshou a blow.
After returning to Semarang with Huang Bohan and Huang Jinsheng, Zhang Tianshou and his deputy Qin Haoge immediately organized local Chinese to join the Umbrella Company's action team and began military training using the weapons they brought back to Borneo.
But I never expected that, except for a few knowledgeable people such as Guo Shenglong and Mao, more overseas Chinese chose not to join the umbrella company, and would rather live a muddle-through life than send their family members to join the umbrella company.
According to the words of those short-sighted Chinese: I am afraid that three to five thousand people will not accomplish anything big. Even if the Netherlands, Britain and other countries are busy with the European war and have no time to take care of Borneo, they will be arrogant for a while. When the Dutch and British return to Southeast Asia, a few thousand people will
After all, the mantis is blocking the car. Instead of ending up dead and exterminating, it is better to live in an ignoble way now.
Hateful?
hateful
Is it sad?
sad
Qin Zhiyuan was not surprised that this situation occurred. Because Qin Zhiyuan knew that it was not that these overseas Chinese did not want to resist the Dutch, but that the courage to resist had been exhausted in the massacres. The helpless overseas Chinese who had no way to appeal were killed.
Scared.
It cannot be said that the Chinese in Borneo did not work hard. They once established a republic and united to deal with the oppression of the Dutch and the provocation of the locals. However, in the end, the organization was too scattered and was defeated by the Dutch one by one.
The Dutch's attitude towards the Chinese is like cutting leeks. Every time when a certain generation of Chinese is about to take root and bear fruit, the Dutch will launch a massacre to kill all the Chinese who are about to take root in the local area, and then start from there.
Domestic recruitment.
The Han nationality has a large population, accounting for one-fifth of the world's population. Therefore, some Chinese scum who have forgotten their ancestors will always choose to cooperate with the Dutch and return to China to continue to attract people and boost Borneo's economy.
Who to blame
Manchu and Qing Dynasty
Northern government
Perhaps everyone in this era has a responsibility.
