Ever since Sidi Bel Abbas built the airport, Qin Zhiyuan began his life as a trapeze artist.
Only then did Qin Zhiyuan realize how busy he was.
As a French general, Qin Zhiyuan held a position in the War Committee of Congress.
This committee usually doesn't do much, but it has to attend meetings frequently and vote by show of hands on things that can change the situation of the war or are trivial.
At the level of a show of hands, Qin Zhiyuan fully felt the nonsense of democracy. Whether to import cotton from the United States or French Indochina for the winter clothes of the soldiers, they could hold meetings for a week to discuss it.
This can be regarded as having pros and cons. Importing from the United States, the lanes are smoother, and the time on the road is shorter. Transferring from Indochina, although the price is much cheaper, but the sky is high and the road is far away, and the time on the road is longer.
The war committee was divided into two groups and argued all day long over this matter, regardless of the fact that the weather had turned colder and the soldiers still had no clothes to wear.
It’s not that they don’t have clothes. Even if they don’t make winter clothes this year, the soldiers will not be short of clothes. The French have done a very good job in logistical support.
Qin Zhiyuan has only been fresh twice and has never gone to the war committee to raise his hand. With this time, he might as well stay in Black Swan Castle and study the wedding preparations with Pierre.
That's right, Qin Zhiyuan and Julie are finally getting married, and the wedding date is set for Christmas.
The preparations for the wedding are being carried out in an orderly manner. This time, it will not be hasty at the Black Swan Castle like the engagement. The ceremony will be held at Notre Dame de Paris and the banquet will be held at the Palace of Versailles.
In fact, according to Qin Zhiyuan's wishes, the wedding does not need to be a grand affair. It can be just a matter of calling a few relatives and friends to meet the occasion.
This aroused opposition from everyone, not only Jolie wanted a grand wedding, but even the French government wanted to celebrate this event as a festival.
Qin Zhiyuan is now one of the few generals within the French military system, with illustrious military exploits and widespread prestige. The French government wants to make Qin Zhiyuan's wedding a grand event, not only to demonstrate the importance the French government attaches to military personnel, but also to
Efforts were made to publicize the achievements of French troops on the battlefield.
Yeah, yeah, it's all a routine.
So when the guest list was initially tallied, it was a headache for both Qin Zhiyuan and Pierre.
Just an invitation list involved more than 600 people. Among them were leading figures in all aspects of French politics, military and economy, as well as British, American, Italian, Romanian, etc., and even the Russian Kremlin, which was about to close down.
Representative of the Lensky government.
Many people have never heard of Qin Zhiyuan, let alone seen him.
Those who can be on this list are naturally famous people. Regardless of whether they have heard of it or not, since their names are on the list, Qin Zhiyuan will send out invitations one by one.
At this time, the most taboo thing is to favor one person over another. If someone is qualified to participate but Qin Zhiyuan does not invite him, that is tantamount to making an enemy for no reason.
On average, every week or so, Qin Zhiyuan will return to Corsica for two days, not only to inspect and supervise the progress of various tasks, but also to spend as much time as possible to cultivate relationships with the Boy Scouts.
The number of Boy Scouts is growing at a rate of nearly ten thousand per month, including not only Chinese from the Far East, but also orphans from all over France.
Nearly 10,000 people are added every month. As long as these children come to Corsica, complete supporting facilities must be provided for them. From accommodation to study, nutrition is a big problem. This burden is really not small. Fortunately, Qin Zhiyuan
There is no shortage of money now, and there are German prisoners of war on the island who are working hard to build houses. The situation has improved a lot compared to a few months ago.
After Maxime became the governor of Algeria, Qin Zhiyuan established several timber companies in Algiers and Oran. The mission of these companies was to purchase timber and turn it into assembleable wooden houses for shipment to Corsica.
In the Atlas Mountains in northern Algeria, there are still forests that can be cut down. Although the amount is not too large, it is enough to supply Corsica.
The construction of a wooden house is extremely simple. You only need to use cement to make the foundation, and then assemble various materials like building blocks. A house is completed. If the construction workers are skilled enough and cooperate well enough, they can build a house.
A house only requires ten people and can be built in four hours.
Because the house is made of wood, the exterior walls can be painted in various colors at will. Qin Zhiyuan made a clear request that the exterior walls of the house must be painted with a blue roof and white walls, just like the style of Santorini.
Today's Santorini has not yet formed the style of the 21st century, so Corsica can be regarded as unique.
The blue color of the roof and the blue sky complement each other, and the white walls set off the dots of white sails on the sea in the distance. It really looks refreshing and feels like a paradise.
All sailors and businessmen passing by were amazed and envious.
No matter what time it is, even during a war, human beings are always full of yearning for beautiful things. It is precisely because of the war that Corsica, a paradise, looks so peaceful, beautiful, and unique.
The immigration bureaus in Thunder City and Trident City receive hundreds of immigration applications every day, not only from France, but also from the UK, Belgium and even Germany.
Mary and Portlem have very high requirements for these immigration applications. Without special skills, it is not easy to immigrate to Corsica. The investment immigration that became popular in later generations is simply a fantasy at this time.
Night story.
What Qin Zhiyuan lacks most now is money, especially after the oil fields in New Baku began to produce oil.
Old Reno worked very efficiently. He hired three drilling teams and 100,000 workers to start laying the oil pipeline from Gabes to New Baku.
Maybe this sounds ridiculous, because even if there is no sign of oil, old Renault has already started laying pipelines. But this is the fact. Old Renault chose to trust Qin Zhiyuan unconditionally. Since Qin Zhiyuan said that there is oil in New Baku, then it must
have.
Facts have proved that Qin Zhiyuan is trustworthy.
The coordinates provided by Qin Zhiyuan were very accurate. Two of the three boreholes produced oil. One of the oil wells was measured to produce 570 tons of oil in a single day, which is almost more than the production of 20 ordinary oil wells in Romania.
As the first car of black gold was transported out of the desert, all the rumors were self-evident. The French government immediately expressed great concern about the matter and ordered Qin Zhiyuan to send troops to protect the New Baku Oil Field and the oil between New Baku and Gabes.
pipeline, and increase the number of workers building oil pipelines to 300,000.
For France, which is short on human resources, employing 300,000 people is definitely a very large-scale project, but the French government did not hesitate to invest, and the huge prospects gave the French government sufficient motivation.
At the same time, Clemenceau also approached Qin Zhiyuan and Renault Sr. to discuss the possibility of Qin Zhiyuan and Renault Sr. transferring their shares to the French government.
transfer shares
What a joke, Qin Zhiyuan and old Renault haven't made a penny yet, but they have spent a lot. Now the French government wants to take over as soon as they see the benefits. How can such a good thing happen?
It has to be said that in Western society, respect for private property is deeply rooted. Qin Zhiyuan and the old Renault refused to transfer their shares, and Clemenceau had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and demand the full share of the oil.
In other words, the ownership of the oil fields still belongs to the United Oil Company, but all the oil extracted by the United Oil Company must be sold to the French government.
This will of course cause Qin Zhiyuan and Old Renault to lose some of their profits, but for Qin Zhiyuan and Old Renault, this part of the profits is already a drop in the bucket compared to what they can earn, and the loss does not matter, as it is turned over to the French government.
Protection fees.
It is indeed a protection fee. The French government has considered establishing a special administrative region in the New Baku area and the area covered by the oil pipeline from New Baku to Gabes. Qin Zhiyuan will serve as the chief executive and military commander of this special administrative region.
Naturally, Qin Zhiyuan supported this decision with both hands, and the old Renault was also adding fuel to the fire. So the resolution was quickly passed in the Congress, and a ten-kilometer-wide area from New Baku to Gabes was opened up to become New Baku.
Part of the special area of Kut.
This decision aroused strong opposition from the Tunisian king, but under the pressure of the French government, King Nasser was forced to give in and recognize the existence of the new Baku Special Administrative Region.
The history of the three French North African countries has changed beyond recognition. Because of the existence of the New Baku Special Zone, Tunisia was cut into two sections, divided into north and south parts. And the large desert oil fields that originally belonged to Algeria have become part of the New Baku Special Zone.
, under the jurisdiction of Qin Zhiyuan.
In order to better improve efficiency, a very large oil refinery is under construction on Djerba Island in the Gulf of Gabes. This oil refinery cannot be owned only by Qin Zhiyuan and Lao Renault. The French government occupies 40% of it.
Qin Zhiyuan and Lao Renault divided the remaining 60%.
Since we are cooperating with the French government, there is no need to look for other partners. The French government's deterrence is sufficient.
So Qin Zhiyuan has one more task, which is the relocation of aborigines. In order to ensure the smooth flow of oil channels, all aborigines in the new Baku Special Administration must move out, and the French government will provide financial subsidies to allow them to move elsewhere.
Place to resettle.
This will definitely lead to strong opposition from the indigenous people. It is not that these indigenous people do not want the money, but that some people are adding fuel to the flames and deliberately obstructing it.
For such people, Qin Zhiyuan had nothing to say and directly transferred a regiment of Senegalese soldiers to forcefully relocate all the indigenous people in the new Baku Special Administrative Region.
It looks like a demolition team from the early 20th century.
