342 Countryman

Crown Prince William was extremely busy during this period.

Since being captured, Crown Prince William has been traveling back and forth across France.

Prisoner of war camps, German residential areas, and non-governmental organizations friendly to Germany were places where Crown Prince William often appeared.

In October, Crown Prince William submitted a survey report on the survival of French German residents to the French government, asking the French government to pay attention to the living conditions of French German residents, and at the same time requesting that discrimination against German residents be improved, with special emphasis on

The problem of French-German children.

Qin Zhiyuan's name also appeared in this report, becoming the only highlight of this report.

Because this report was of great topicality, Le Figaro published the report in its entirety, and subsequently, the defendant was circulated to Germany.

Just before this report reached Germany, the Kaiser was in a very bad situation.

After the resignation of German Prime Minister Bateman, the position of German Prime Minister became unpopular. Those who were qualified to serve as Prime Minister doubted that Ludendorff and Hindenburg would not obey their orders. Others who wanted to be Prime Minister would not win over Luden.

Dolph and Hindenburg agreed.

The last person named Georg Milikas became the German Prime Minister. In this process, the Kaiser did not play any role. Before this, the Kaiser had not even met Georg Milikas.

This was the beginning of the Kaiser's neglect.

Regrettably, in less than a month, Georg Milikas resigned sadly and Georg von Hertling became German Prime Minister.

In this process, the Kaiser also played no role.

Throughout October, Germans were talking about whether the royal family still needed to be preserved. At this time, Crown Prince Wilhelm's report on the German residents appeared in German newspapers.

When they saw this report, all the anti-imperialist faction collectively lost their voices.

Yes, even though he was in prison, Crown Prince Wilhelm did not stop working for the interests of the German people, and he actually persuaded the French government to change its attitude towards German residents, even though Kaiser Wilhelm II was no longer fit to stay on the throne.

Such a crown prince is also worth looking forward to.

In November, Crown Prince William appeared in court to testify in a dispute between a French-German family and the local government.

Crown Prince William stood in court and argued hard. Even when some extreme French people yelled in court and told the damn Germans to go back to their hometowns, Crown Prince William still did not stop fighting for what this German family, who were already French, deserved.

right.

When the trial ended, Crown Prince William won the respect of everyone, including the president of the court. Everyone expressed their admiration for Crown Prince William.

The French newspaper that day even described Crown Prince William as a model of justice and strong aristocracy.

This report was also widely reprinted by German newspapers. After the Germans read this report, the focus of everyone's discussion was no longer whether the royal family was necessary, but whether Crown Prince William should succeed to the throne immediately.

Some extreme royalists even proposed that they should negotiate peace with the French and welcome back this star of hope for the German royal family.

Crown Prince Wilhelm, who seemed to have been welcomed back by the public, was not lost. He continued to travel around France, chatting with German prisoners of war, attending symposiums of civilian friendly organizations, and attending banquets of German residents. As long as there were Germans, he would

There must be a presence of Crown Prince William.

When Qin Zhiyuan returned to Corsica, Crown Prince William was also on the island.

When Qin Zhiyuan saw Crown Prince William, Crown Prince William was attending a groundbreaking ceremony for a community.

This is a German community. According to the plan of the Thunder City Government, all German residents live here. Of course, they are still children of the Boy Scouts. When they grow up, they will follow their own wishes.

, choose their future.

By the way, this community was all built by German prisoners of war.

Thunder City and Trident City have launched a new bill. From now on, all buildings in Thunder City and Trident City will have a commemorative nameplate, which will indicate the start date and completion date of these buildings. The project cost contractor

etc.

Everything else is easy to handle, but the construction unit is more troublesome.

For example, the current community is built by the 17th, 18th and 21st Battalions of the German Prisoners of War in Corsica. The important point is not the numbers at the end, but the prefixes in the front.

Think about it, it's not just German construction teams building houses, there are also Chinese and French people. When these communities are built, the speed of construction and the quality of the completion will obviously be compared together.

If by then the communities built by the Chinese and French are beautiful and solid, but the communities built by the Germans turn into rubbish, then the Germans will be nailed to the pillar of shame forever in Corsica.

The same goes for Chinese and French people.

This may sound a bit mean, but the actual effect is surprisingly good.

So far, in only about ten months, Thunder City has built three research institutes, 11 elementary schools, 45 Boy Scout camps and nine residential communities.

These three research institutes are the Materials Research Institute of the Institute of Biology and the Power Research Institute.

The Institute of Biology has developed penicillin, and this alone has paid off all the money.

The Materials Research Institute has no results yet, but Qin Zhiyuan is not in a hurry. Whether it is nylon or synthetic rubber, as long as it is the same, it will be as valuable as penicillin.

The design of the aircraft engine has not been completed yet, but there was an unexpected surprise. Long Chengyuan, who didn't like doing housework, actually built a washing machine to save trouble.

Of course, it's not a fully automatic washing machine, but a drag-type washing machine.

When Qin Zhiyuan saw a washing machine, he immediately proposed the concept of a pulsator washing machine. In fact, the pulsator type and the drag type are similar, and the principles are the same. Long Chengyuan built one without much effort.

Soon, construction of a washing machine factory began.

At the same time, the Power Research Institute added a research project, household appliances, for which Qin Zhiyuan only had one request: to make those lazy people like it as much as possible.

Well, this lazy guy refers to Long Chengyuan. Almost every electrical appliance that comes out must be tried by Long Chengyuan first.

There are more and more research institutes and construction progress is accelerating. Thanks to the vigorous promotion of wooden houses, a complete industrial chain has been formed for wooden houses. There are companies responsible for logging, and there are companies responsible for cutting and drying.

, there is a company that specializes in installation and maintenance.

It was not enough to have a house, but more other daily necessities were needed in life, so various factories came into being, first the quilt factory, then the furniture factory, the glass factory, the ceramic factory, and so on.

The Chinese have one of the best traits. As long as they can solve the problem themselves, they never pay for it. They always pay for things. Among the Chinese, it is a symbol of not being able to live a good life.

Of course, there are specialties in the arts, some people are better at making furniture, some people are very good at making clothes, and some people are good at cooking.

As a result, a simple social division of labor immediately emerged, and some economically minded people began to take advantage of various advantages to expand production scale and invest in building factories. This has formed a craze, similar to the ups and downs sea fever in China in the 1970s.

It was indeed very effective. In a very short period of time, materials produced in Corsica had begun to be sold to France, such as various canned fish and canned beans.

Corsica is located in the Mediterranean Sea and is rich in fishery resources. Fish occupies an important position in Corsica’s current food sequence and is a good food for the new generation of Corsicans to enrich their tables with nutrients.

As for soy foods, this is even more special to the Chinese.

Even Westerners can’t figure out why beans can be turned into soy milk, tofu curd and tofu. By the way, we must not forget tofu.

Because of the support of the Americans, the Allies were now less and less dependent on the Far East, which gave Corsica an opportunity.

Because it is in the Mediterranean, all merchant ships heading to France will arrive in Corsica first. When Corsica has a certain production capacity, many people will naturally choose to change the destination of their goods from Marseille to Corsica.

.

Due to the interplay of multiple factors, Corsica now looks more and more prosperous.

So every time Qin Zhiyuan returns to Corsica, he has a feeling of traveling through time and space. It feels like this city is not like the city in the early 20th century, but more like the city in the late 1980s.

After all, Corsica attaches great importance to environmental protection and promotes environmental protection concepts. Therefore, compared with most cities today, Thunder City and Trident City are more like paradise.

At least on the current island of Corsica, due to the promotion of geothermal energy, there are almost no dense forests of chimneys in the city, and the air quality is much better than in big cities like London and Paris.

In London or Paris, it is no exaggeration to say that if you go out wearing a white shirt in winter, you will find black mud on your collar before noon. And if you go out wearing a mask, it is even more sad, and it will take less than half an hour.

, two black spots will appear at the nostrils on the mask, which are filtered soot.

The good natural environment, positive attitude towards life, and neat and orderly social order make almost everyone not want to leave when they come to Corsica.

In the fourth district where the Institute of Biology is located, there are two large houses prepared for Louis Reno and Ferdinand Foch. After the old Reno visited Corsica once, he immediately fell in love with it, even if it cost him

For a price that was higher than the price in the center of Paris, the old Renault also asked for a piece of land to build his own villa.

The piece of land owned by Foch was requested by Pierre, who had decided that no matter what, he would find a way for Anne to move her family to Corsica after Qin Zhiyuan and Julie got married.

Compared with Paris, Thunder City

No, Paris is more like the countryside than Thunder City
