If the orange grows in Huainan, it becomes orange; if it grows in the north of Huaihe, it becomes orange.
Although this sentence is not completely correct, it illustrates a profound truth. If it were to be explained, it would be similar to the theory of relativity.
This theory of relativity is not Einstein's, but rather: whether a concept is correct or not is not absolute, it depends on what kind of reference you choose.
Just like what Maxim said, Qin Zhiyuan's method may be implemented in the Republic of China in the Far East, but it is absolutely impossible to implement it in France.
Because the population base of the two ethnic groups determines their different policy policies, one is to work hard to increase the population, and the other is to work hard to immigrate to relieve the pressure of survival.
That's why Qin Zhiyuan was able to successfully become a French national, so so many Chinese immigrants to Corsica would not cause uneasiness to the French.
This is not the 21st century. The concept of nation has actually just emerged not long ago.
In the previous thousands of years, Europe did not actually have clear ethnic boundaries. At best, there were nationalities.
France is a very special case. This country is generally very tolerant.
It is estimated that there is no proverb in France that people who are not of our race must be different. Just like the French Foreign Legion, this army includes French allies Romanians, Norwegians, Icelanders, Chinese, Algerians, etc., and there are also French
Enemies Germans and Austro-Hungarians.
No matter who they were before, as long as they are willing to serve France, France will accept them.
The same is true for the colonies. As long as France's colonies are willing to become members of the French Republic, France will also accept them, regardless of whether those colonies are located in Asia or Africa.
Just like Senegal in Africa, this country once became an overseas territory of France, and all residents were once French citizens.
France has the same attitude towards Algeria.
France hopes that Algeria will also become an overseas territory of France and a member of the French Republic. However, the local fetishist forces in Algeria are very powerful. They firmly control the beliefs of the Algerians and refuse to integrate with France, eventually turning France's ideas into a mirror.
.
The problem now is that the French believe that the beliefs of the Algerians are not important. As long as the colonial authorities are subtle, they will eventually make the Algerians yearn for France's advanced civilization and then assimilate the Algerians.
But the reality is that the Algerians' beliefs make them resist the assimilation of the French. Even if the French culture does seem more attractive, the Algerians also reject this assimilation.
Is this the wishful thinking of the French or the complacency of the Algerians?
Qin Zhiyuan is unknown.
The religious freedom proposed by Qin Zhiyuan is to strip away the control of fetishism on the local people in Algeria, first free the Algerians from religion, and then integrate them with the French.
The idea was good, but it conflicted with France's current policy in Algeria. In the end, Maxim did not dare to adopt Qin Zhiyuan's proposal.
Maxim also did not have the power to take action. Although Maxim was the governor, in a certain respect, Maxim's power was not as powerful as Qin Zhiyuan, the commander-in-chief of the Foreign Legion. It can be said that Maxim, the governor himself,
Just an executor, Maxim can do nothing without the approval of Congress.
Relatively speaking, Qin Zhiyuan is much better. At least in Sidi Bel Abbas, Qin Zhiyuan can completely cover the sky with one hand.
Unlike other areas in Algeria, because Sidi Bel Abbas is a foreign headquarters, the French government does not station civil affairs officials and security officers. Qin Zhiyuan has the final say in everything here.
For a city that is equivalent to military control, how it should be governed depends entirely on the preference of the person with the highest military rank.
Fortunately, Qin Zhiyuan is not a pervert.
But this is not necessarily true. I am afraid that in Lillard’s eyes, Qin Zhiyuan is a pervert.
Lillard thinks so because his understanding of Qin Zhiyuan is not deep enough. Soon, he will know the real Qin Zhiyuan.
After the airport was repaired, Qin Zhiyuan did not move any more, because there were transport planes transporting supplies, and the gate of the legion headquarters was closed every day, which was almost a different world from Sidi Bel Abbas.
In the past few days, Qin Zhiyuan has learned that the women and children surrounding the legion headquarters are not just those who come to vent their dissatisfaction because their lives have been disrupted, but more importantly, the families of the rebel soldiers who are serving sentences in France, demanding their release.
husband or son, and give them a complete family.
How is this possible? Those who have made mistakes must be punished. It is impossible to let them go just because they make a fuss. In that case, the majesty of the law will be gone.
This is very troublesome. Those women and children are demanding a result that the French government will never agree to, and both parties are unwilling to compromise. It seems that this situation is a dead end.
Regardless of whether it is a deadlock or not, Qin Zhiyuan needs to deal with it.
Qin Zhiyuan's way of dealing with it is also very simple, wait, wait for a suitable group to appear.
As mentioned before, the population composition in Algeria is very complex. What Qin Zhiyuan wants to do is to make this composition more complex.
The foreign legion behind closed doors did not interact with the locals, so it had almost no impact on the foreign legion. And because there were less noisy women and children, it became much quieter.
But for the residents of Sidi Bel Abbas, life without the interference of the Foreign Legion does not seem to be as wonderful as imagined.
First of all, without the procurement from the Foreign Legion, the life of farmers has become more difficult.
Sidi Bel Abbas is surrounded by vineyards and orchards. These farmers have long-term orders, and the impact on their lives will not be visible for a while, but for those who make a living by dealing with soldiers of the Foreign Legion
It is said that the closure of the Foreign Legion will be their end.
As a result, the security situation in Sidi Bel Abbas became chaotic.
You should know that there is no peace officer in Sidi Bel Abbas, and the security here depends entirely on the patrols of the Foreign Legion.
When the patrolling soldiers disappeared, some criminals had room to operate, so almost suddenly, those who had no livelihood began to become uneasy, thefts occurred frequently, and fights became commonplace.
A fact that makes Qin Zhiyuan feel embarrassed is that riots occur more among groups that do not believe in fetishism. Algerians who believe in fetishism are indeed more self-disciplined and more law-abiding because of the existence of religious rules.
It was only then that Qin Zhiyuan suddenly realized that he had made a mistake.
Qin Zhiyuan brought certain things that happened in the 21st century into this time and space. When looking at fetishism, he preconceivedly put on colored glasses.
Now that you have discovered your mistakes, you must correct them in time.
So the gate of the Foreign Legion was reopened. Although the barricade at the door was not removed, there were no soldiers operating behind the machine guns. Lillard Azshara, who had been begging to see Qin Zhiyuan in the past few days, finally entered the Foreign Legion headquarters again and got an interview with Qin Zhiyuan.
A chance to meet Zhiyuan again.
Hello Azshara. After understanding, Qin Zhiyuan chose to respect the other party's habits.
General, I salute you. Lillard Azshara took the initiative to extend his hand.
It's so nice and peaceful.
Sit down. Qin Zhiyuan motioned for Azshara to sit down in the reception area.
Qin Zhiyuan's office is spacious and bright, and the reception area is also decorated in a North African style. The hand-woven rattan sofa has a unique shape, and the coffee table is simply a large root carving. Except for the top platform, the rest are all complicated.
The complicated patterns of various animals and plants can be called works of art.
Misha sent hand-ground coffee as usual, and Qin Zhiyuan was used to it. Azshara stood up and took it without forgetting to thank her.
General, first of all I want to apologize for being disrespectful to you before. I'm very sorry, I was too rude. Azshara first needs to reflect on herself.
Let the past go. I am also responsible. It was my carelessness that caused everything. Qin Zhiyuan returned the favor.
That's not your fault. It's normal for you to be new here and not understand. I shouldn't blame you for everything. Azshara seems to be ready to take all the responsibilities.
It's amazing that two people who had no common language the last time they met can be so harmonious. The power of time is so great.
This is actually normal. The relationship between people is like hedgehogs in winter. They need to cling to each other to keep warm, but at the same time they are afraid of being stabbed by each other's sharp thorns. It always takes a lot of effort to find the right one.
A safe distance where you can hug each other for warmth without being stabbed by each other.
Well, that's all in the past, we should look to the future. Qin Zhiyuan has another profound meaning.
Yes, we should look to the future. Azshara agrees with Qin Zhiyuan. Unlike Qin Zhiyuan, who is in Cao Ying and his heart is with Han, Azshara regards Sidi Bel Abbas as his home, and he will do it for his people.
Fight for a better living environment and argue with Qin Zhiyuan, and never want Sidi Bel Abbas to fall into chaos.
I thought about it carefully and found that it would obviously be unfair to other ethnic groups if we ask for a ban on alcohol in all public places. Therefore, I will no longer insist on this request, but please limit the further spread of alcohol. At the same time, please resume patrols.
system to maintain the security of Sidi Bel Abbas. After all, the current situation is something that none of us want to see. Azshara took a half step back.
Okay, I think you will understand that I am also a person who is against alcoholism. Those slovenly guys in the past have been punished as they deserve. Qin Zhiyuan promised that as long as it is a reasonable request, Qin Zhiyuan will support it.
That's great, General. You will know in the future that Haggis is definitely not your enemy. Azshara is grateful.
Haggis, this is the collective name given by Algerians to those pro-French locals and aboriginal people who joined the colonial army.
