In fact, judging from the history of another time and space, Clemenceau was not a friend of the Republic of China, and he did not have a good impression of the Chinese.
This is normal. During the world war at that time, the Beiyang government did not make much contribution to Europe except sending hundreds of thousands of workers. Although hundreds of thousands may sound like a lot, compared to the population base of the Republic of China, it is really not much.
many.
You know, India, another populous country at that time, had more than one million people joining the Commonwealth Army alone.
People are always emotional creatures. When Qin Zhiyuan led the Chinese to shed blood and sacrifice for France, it was impossible for the French to ignore the efforts of the Chinese.
The world war showed no sign of ending, and the French still needed help from the Chinese.
Then the value of Qin Zhiyuan becomes even more important. A general who can fight wars is also a general who can win wars. No matter how much the French pay to win him over, it cannot be exaggerated.
You must know that, unlike Petain Foch and others, Qin Zhiyuan did not pay much in battles and would always win greater victories with smaller casualties. In terms of cost and efficiency alone, it was already overwhelming at this time.
All Allied generals.
Fighting also has costs, especially pensions for disabled soldiers or fallen soldiers, which take up a considerable part of military expenditures.
Compared with the generals of the Allied Powers, Qin Zhiyuan can be considered to be of high quality and low price.
Since the Battle of Ferenta de Noir, Qin Zhiyuan has become a rising star of the Allied Powers and a legend among all colonial soldiers.
This was particularly evident when General Annan visited Qin Zhiyuan.
In the Black Swan Castle office, Qin Zhiyuan met with two military generals from Annan.
Your Excellency, General Wu Yuan Dinh and Ruan Juncai led 31,500 soldiers from the 3rd and 4th Division of the Foreign Legion Infantry Division to report to you. Wu Yuan and Ruan stood up straight and looked at Qin Zhiyuan with eyes full of respect and enthusiasm.
The relationship between Annan and the Chinese has a long history. Historically, the Central Plains Dynasty established by the Chinese conquered Annan several times. However, because Annan was too remote, the Central Plains Dynasty did not take Annan seriously and never truly regarded Annan as its own.
The territory was governed with all their efforts. This led to the fact that although Annan used Chinese and learned Chinese characters, there was always a distance between him and the orthodox Central Plains culture.
The Annan people are undoubtedly yearning for the culture of the Central Plains. Although the French have ruled Annan for decades, and although the Annan people have created their own writing in the 13th century AD, so far, Chinese characters are still the official Annan writing, and their status is the same as that of French.
in the same position.
Wu and Ruan learned Chinese well. They spoke standard northern Mandarin, with standard pronunciation and clear pronunciation. It was obvious that they had put a lot of effort into it.
Sitting down, Qin Zhiyuan raised his hand to signal.
These two really did whatever they were told. After hearing Qin Zhiyuan's instructions, they immediately sat down opposite Qin Zhiyuan upright, and even took off their hats and held them in their hands to show respect.
Let’s talk about the basic situation of your troops. Qin Zhiyuan will not talk nonsense. According to Clemenceau’s wishes, Qin Zhiyuan must complete the reorganization as soon as possible and form combat effectiveness.
Wu Ruan and Wu exchanged glances, and then Wu Yuanting spoke: "Humble job"
As soon as Zhiwu Yuanting opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Qin Zhiyuan: From now on, you can call yourself a professional department, and don't mention humble positions or anything like that.
His subordinates are a bunch of rough guys, and standardizing language is Qin Zhiyuan's daily job.
The word "job department" comes from ancient Chinese, and is the self-identification of those with lower positions in the army. This word has a long history and can often be found in ancient books.
The word "subordinate position" also comes from ancient Chinese, but it always sounds a bit too self-effacing. If the "service department" represents more of a work relationship, then "subordinate position" has the meaning of a slave.
There are a total of 31,500 people in the army from Laizhou, Dien Bien Phu and other places. The staff and other personnel arrived in France before Christmas. They have received six months of military training and completed all training projects. Now they come to present to the general
Your Excellency reports. After Wu Yuanting finished speaking, he hesitated to speak with some unfinished thoughts.
If you have anything to say, just say it, don't hide it. After this opportunity, I may not want to hear what you want to say. Qin Zhiyuan reminded.
Wu Yuanting's expression was excited, and Ruan Juncai next to him also hesitated to speak.
The ancestor of the Zhongbu tribe was from Ningyuan Prefecture. Although it had been incorporated into Annan for hundreds of years, the Zhongbu tribe had never forgotten it. Tears flashed in Wu Yuanting's eyes, and his voice trembled due to emotion.
General, the ancestors of Zhongbu are also from Ningyuanzhou. Although the Zhongbu family has now moved to Saigon, they have never forgotten that they were also Chinese. Decades ago, General Feng led the Black Flag Army and fought a fierce battle with the French at Zhennan Pass.
His grandfather also died in a military battle. Now that he had spoken out, Ruan Juncai no longer held back.
Ningyuan Prefecture, this place name can no longer be found on the map.
The ancient names of Annan are intertwined. It has been the territory of China during the Han and Tang Dynasties, and it became an independent country after the Five Dynasties. During the Ming Dynasty, a war was launched to conquer Annan, which finally ended with the victory of the Ming army and the demise of the Hu Dynasty. Although there were recurrences after that, the Ming Dynasty
For a generation, Annan always regarded the Ming Dynasty as Zhengshuo.
Ningyuan Prefecture was stolen by Annan during the Ming Dynasty's withdrawal period. Later, Annan established Laizhou in Ningyuan Prefecture and became part of Annan.
As for the great victory at Zhennan Pass led by Feng Zicai's Black Flag Army, it was a rare victory in China's foreign wars in modern history.
The current proportion of Chinese in Southeast Asia is about 6 million, but Annan is not included. In fact, if calculated in detail, those people in northern Annan can be regarded as descendants of Chinese, then this number is huge.
Do you, more than 30,000 people, have any combat experience before? Qin Zhiyuan does not think about the relationship between Annan and China. It only represents the past. What the future holds depends on future performance.
Although the generals, staff, etc. have completed the training courses, they have no actual combat experience. If you count carefully, most of the team members are recruits. Wu Yuanting told the truth.
Well, is there a follow-up force? Qin Zhiyuan feels that the French will not be satisfied with just recruiting 30,000 people.
Yes, there are still more than 20,000 brothers in the training camp, and more brothers are on the way. Wu Yuanting does not lay an ambush.
Okay, if I want to disperse you and arrange junior officers into your troops to improve combat effectiveness, can you accept that Qin Zhiyuan wants to add sand to it? This is simply a subconscious reaction.
Of course, everyone in the department is worried that due to lack of combat experience, they will miss the general's important mission. It would be best if the general could send out junior officers. Wu and Ruan looked at each other and said in unison.
Very good, it's easy to mix it with sand. As long as grassroots officers are sent there, even if they are not of Chinese descent, they can be assimilated.
