On the night when the Sixth Regiment changed camps, the number of Chinese who came to join the Sixth Regiment reached its peak.
As of 8 p.m. that day, the total number of the Sixth Regiment reached more than 800 people. Not only were the four combat companies and an artillery company full, there was also a super-staffed transportation company and an ambulance company with 29 field doctors. After the ambulance company was established,
The ratio of doctors to soldiers in the Sixth Regiment is second to none among the Allied forces.
Fisher personally visited Qin Zhiyuan that night, and then exchanged the right to use 12 field doctors with a nurse. This nurse was Misha. Fisher also promised to help him within a week
The Sixth Regiment established a nurse team of no less than 20 people to care for the Sixth Regiment's own wounded soldiers.
What is special is the reconnaissance company of Hu Tingfeng and Jin Taihe. They were authorized by Qin Zhiyuan to carefully select among the 800 people in the group, and in the end they only selected less than 20 people. The origins of these 20 people can be said to be diverse.
, there are martial arts masters with family backgrounds, young intellectuals who have gone to school, and even old public servants who have worked as slaves, actors who have been in opera houses, craftsmen who wander the streets, and street thieves.
Qin Zhiyuan ignored the previous background of the Chinese soldiers. As long as he was willing to join the Sixth Regiment and swear by the emblem of the Foreign Legion with his hand, Qin Zhiyuan would give him a bright future and a chance to start a new life.
.
Because of this, many people shed tears when they put on their military uniforms, not knowing what kind of stories they had and what twists and turns they had.
In the evening, Zhang Tianshou reported that the fourth batch of Chinese workers who arrived in Kapi totaled 650 people. Nearly 500 of them had already joined the Foreign Legion, leaving only more than a hundred people headed by Qin Haoge who had not yet joined.
Qin Zhiyuan knew what Qin Haoge meant, and he was waiting for a price. Qin Zhiyuan didn't want to go to Qin Haoge. If it was just for conscription, there was no need for Qin Zhiyuan to go to Qin Haoge.
Qin Zhiyuan has ordered Huang Fugui to select men and set up a recruitment office at the port of Marseille where the Chinese laborers landed. As soon as the ship transporting the Chinese laborers docked, the people of the Sixth Regiment would start to contact the Chinese laborers, and then try to turn the Chinese laborers into the Sixth Regiment
soldiers.
It won't take long for the Sixth Regiment to be full. At that time, it will not be so easy to join the Sixth Regiment. Qin Zhiyuan will set the recruitment standards and start to move closer to the route of elite soldiers.
From the very beginning, Qin Zhiyuan had no intention of organizing all 140,000 workers into an army. What Qin Zhiyuan needed was people who were ambitious and pursuing. People who hang around all day long and are satisfied with a daily salary of five francs are not in line with Qin Zhiyuan's plans.
Zhiyuan's request.
The French offer a daily salary of 12 francs to the Foreign Legion. Forgetting food, clothing, housing and transportation, the Chinese soldiers can get a daily salary of about 10 francs a day. If they are injured or killed in battle, they will also receive generous pensions. In these days,
Chinese soldiers who died in the battle can each receive a pension of more than 7,000 francs. The calculation standard for the pension is based on the salary of the Chinese soldiers. The calculation standard is two years' salary. Qin Zhiyuan does not want to be greedy for this money.
, this is the life-earning money of Chinese soldiers. If you get greedy for this, you will be struck by lightning.
Starting from the next day, the Sixth Regiment officially started training. The training subjects came from the infantry drill code written by Qin Zhiyuan overnight. This drill code was a pla training outline copied by Qin Zhiyuan from another time and space. The troops were trained according to this drill code, although it did not say
You can train a pla, but it shouldn't be much different from the pla.
There are many rare terms in the infantry training manual that company commanders have never heard of, such as formation training, physical training, internal affairs, and ideological education.
Even a serious Allied officer may not be able to fully understand these things, let alone these workers who have just put on military uniforms.
In order to explain this infantry drill code so that the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Regiment could understand the requirements of the drill code, Qin Zhiyuan spent a week personally conducting training during the day and running a small stove to train officers at night. Of course, at Qin Zhiyuan's request, the French
Training officers were also dispatched to train the machine gunners and artillerymen of the Sixth Regiment to operate machine guns and artillery.
Finally, by the time Qin Zhiyuan left Cappi for Amiens, it was already September 16th.
The reason why Fu Xun and Michelet waited so long to summon Qin Zhiyuan was because the French wanted to count the amount of gold and Qin Zhiyuan's achievements, so that they could better evaluate Qin Zhiyuan's role, and then
Give appropriate rewards.
Qin, it's unbelievable. Your troops killed 8,700 Germans. Among them, your men probably killed 3,000. Considering that you only had more than 400 people, this was a brilliant victory. Army Group Amiens North
At the headquarters, Foch looked at Qin Zhiyuan who was standing at the table with a smile and was full of praise.
Foch is 66 years old this year. His appearance is very distinctive and impressive. Foch's brow bone is very high, so his eye sockets appear to be sunken. His eyebrows are very close to his eyes, and the tail of his eyebrows droops close to the corners of his eyes. It looks like
He is very wise. Foch has a tall and straight big nose, coupled with a shaggy beard, the whole person looks wise, deep, wild and uninhibited, and has great personal charm.
Thank you very much for your compliment, General. This is largely due to the support of the artillery and the cooperation of the French soldiers. Faced with Foch's praise, Qin Zhiyuan was neither arrogant nor humble.
You are a very good person, Qin. You have the humility of an Easterner and the confidence of a Westerner. You are a very individual person. At this time, the Easterners, including the Japanese who already boasted of being a great power, are facing the West.
It is difficult for a person to hide his inferiority complex at all times. From this point of view, Qin Zhiyuan is indeed worthy of Foch's praise.
Upon hearing Foch's praise, Qin Zhiyuan did not speak, but waited for Foch's next words.
The reason why it took so long to call you back to Amiens is because we need to confirm your record in order to determine the level of medals you can obtain. The result is very surprising. Foch looked at Qin Zhiyuan with a smile, trying to see from Qin Zhiyuan's expression.
Find out a clue, and then analyze Qin Zhiyuan's character.
As an agent, it shouldn't be too easy to deal with an interview of this level. When Qin Zhiyuan heard about the medal, his eyes immediately filled with enthusiasm, and then his throat moved unconsciously, and he leaned forward slightly, turning a young man who longed for honors into his eyes.
The performance was performed vividly.
Your initial contribution was to clear out the German troops inside the tunnel, and during the clearing operation, you killed three German generals. The medal level set for you at that time was a knight. Then you returned to Kapi, where you rescued a large number of wounded people.
You have won the respect of everyone. This is the medal given to you as an officer. Then you discovered the treasury on the front line, held the position, and handed over the treasury intact to the French government. During this period, your troops killed another person.
You have killed nearly ten times as many enemies, so there are disagreements about your reward. Some people think you should be given the Commander's Medal, and some think you should be given the Senior Officer's Medal. But I think you are fully worthy of a Knight's Grand Cross.
Medal. For this reason, Mr. President even broke the rules and awarded you a medal on this inopportune day. After Foch finished speaking, he picked up a wooden box from the table, walked around the table, and walked to Qin Zhiyuan.
Michelet, who had been standing next to Qin Zhiyuan, took a step forward, took the wooden box from Foch's hand, then held it in his hand and stood aside.
Foch opened the wooden box, hung a ribbon on Qin Zhiyuan's right shoulder, hung a gold-plated Grand Cross on Qin Zhiyuan's left chest, and hung a gold Legion of Honor on the ribbon above Qin Zhiyuan's left leg.
superior.
I think you understand what I mean. Foch looked at the excited Qin Zhiyuan with a profound artistic conception.
Yes, I understand that at this special moment, France needs heroes. Qin Zhiyuan responded in a deep voice.
Yes, at this special moment, not only France, but the whole world needs heroes.
