Strictly speaking, the Foreign Legion does not have a staff, not to mention that Qin Zhiyuan's Sixth Regiment is just a regiment under the Foreign Legion, and it should not have its own staff.
But as the protagonist, Qin Zhiyuan is obviously special.
Qin Zhiyuan's Sixth Regiment has been a special product from the moment it was born. Therefore, Qin Zhiyuan has not positioned the troops at the regiment level at all. Even if it is expressed as a division, Qin Zhiyuan is based on a regiment.
standards under construction.
A legion must consist of infantry, artillery, and cavalry, which will soon be eliminated by history. Qin Zhiyuan's sixth regiment now has infantry and artillery, but no cavalry. Qin Zhiyuan plans to set up an armored force at the right time.
Used to replace cavalry.
The French tanks are still in the laboratory. It will take a long time for Qin Zhiyuan to establish an armored force. During this waiting process, Qin Zhiyuan wants to enrich other institutions first, such as the general staff.
The General Staff Department originated from the Swedish Munitions Directorate, which was the original prototype of the General Staff Department. At that time, the main responsibilities of the Munitions Directorate were to be responsible for the selection of marching roads and the construction of campsites and other tasks for engineers. Later, the Munitions Directorate added
Delivering orders, guiding the marching troops, drafting reports and documents for the generals, and planning and leading the reserve forces, among other tasks.
By the beginning of the 20th century, the General Staff had become the leading institution of the country's military power. Similar institutions were established in various countries, and its role in the national military system even exceeded that of the military commander.
What Qin Zhiyuan wants to establish is a staff department that can undertake the above tasks.
It is not easy to establish a staff department. For Qin Zhiyuan, the biggest difficulty is the lack of officers with actual combat experience.
According to the information provided by the Beiyang Government’s Foreign Affairs Minister Lu Zhengxiang, the Beiyang Government will send a group of military officers to France. The purpose of this group of officers may be to observe the world war and gain insights. The greater possibility is that they will join the First
The Sixth Regiment isolated Qin Zhiyuan.
No matter what their mission is, Qin Zhiyuan has already arranged a position for these officers, which is the newly established staff. And this staff will be headed by Foch's son Pierre.
Pierre's qualifications may not be able to suppress the people who are about to come, but coupled with the identity of Foch's son, it is enough to suppress those bumpkin from the Far East.
Of course, in Qin Zhiyuan's eyes, Pierre, even if he is Foch's son, is an out-and-out bumpkin. Even Foch himself, Qin Zhiyuan has enough capital to look down on him psychologically.
Qin Zhiyuan has nearly a hundred years more experience than anyone else in this era, and it has been a period of knowledge explosion and rapid social development for nearly a hundred years. In the next hundred years, the degree of progress of human society has exceeded that of the previous five thousand years.
sum.
People of this era, including the most elite, also have feudal superstitions. For example, David Lloyd George, the incoming British Prime Minister, is best at cranial observation. To put it simply, cranial observation is based on a
The shape of a person's head determines his luck and personality.
This view is also shared in the East, for example, there is a bone in the back of the head.
Qin Zhiyuan can be sure that his head is round. As for whether he has a back bone, I'm sorry, Qin Zhiyuan can't see the back of his head.
Entering October, the world war entered a stalemate.
Due to continuous rainy weather in the Battle of the Somme, the attacks of the British and French armies had completely stopped. At Verdun, the German attack was weak, and the French were planning a counterattack, but the preparations for the counterattack had not yet been completed.
Outside of France, the Romanians joined the Entente in August, which looked like a victory for the Entente because they had an extra 500,000 men on paper. The Romanians soon proved that they were as much a part of what Austria-Hungary was to Germany.
, became the biggest burden within the Allied Powers.
The Greek army also took to the battlefield, but they were even worse than the Romanians. One legion even surrendered to Mackensen without firing a single shot. They will take a train to Silesia, where there is a temporary military camp.
, where they will spend this war safely.
The Italians launched the Seventh and Eighth Battles of Isonzo, which made no contribution except to increase the number of casualties.
The Tsar sent his Royal Guard to attack the Kovel area. The Royal Guard launched 17 consecutive attacks, each of which ended with the massacre of Russians. By the time the attack was forced to stop, Russia's most elite troops had suffered 5.5 casualties.
Thousands of people.
The Germans seem to be winning on the battlefield, but in fact the domestic conflicts have become irreconcilable. Food prices in Berlin have increased six times compared to before the war. The Germans only have three pounds of potatoes and one egg on their tables every week. The people are getting more and more.
I have come to rely more and more on a vegetable called cabbage.
In Austria, during the severe cold winter, a family was only allowed to set up a stove in one room. In Vienna, people used dogs to pull carts, and later the dogs were eaten, but no dog lovers stood up to protest.
Just when the whole of Europe was in mourning and heading for collapse, the strength in Qin Zhiyuan's hands was steadily growing.
The day after meeting Louis Renault, a team of 4,000 Chinese workers set off from Amiens to Boulogne-Billancourt, where Renault is located. These people will join Renault and spend three months to prove whether they can
Carry out industrial production.
At the same time, a convoy was sent to Kapi, carrying enough weapons to equip 3,000 people, including 120 Lewis light machine guns and 30 75mm artillery pieces.
This is the weapon that Qin Zhiyuan purchased from Louis Renault, and the payment was offset by the salary of the Chinese worker. Qin Zhiyuan and Louis Renault have already agreed that the salary of the Chinese worker will be paid to Qin Zhiyuan by Renault, and then Qin Zhiyuan will pay it to the Chinese worker. More
A hand, although it won't create an extra cent, can enhance Qin Zhiyuan's prestige among the Chinese workers.
Pierre submitted an application for transfer, which was quickly approved. He and Qin Zhiyuan, whose work had come to an end, went to Kapi to serve as the combat staff of the Sixth Regiment.
Qin, I have helped you so much, what benefits can you give me? In the car, Pierre insisted on harassing Qin Zhiyuan.
You are a colonel, and I have equipped you with a bus. In order to bribe Pierre, Qin Zhiyuan purchased a Renault car at his own expense and assigned it to Pierre for his use.
To this end, Pierre hired a driver, plus his attendant, and sat in another car with Gao Hongshi.
You read that right, even when Pierre went to the front line, he brought his own servants with him, just like a certain former British Lord of the Admiralty. When he went to the front line, he not only brought servants and handymen with him, but his luggage was piled up like a hill.
Fortunately, Pierre does not have these problems. At least Pierre has very little luggage, only two big boxes. This is the reason why Julie has repeatedly streamlined. By the way, Julie is unable to go to Cappi due to work reasons and continues to stay.
Coordinates tank research efforts at Renault.
The journey from Amiens to Capi is only a few dozen kilometers. If the road is open, it can be reached in an hour. The problem now is that it is not smooth. There are craters everywhere on the road, almost all the trees have been broken, and many villages on the roadside have been destroyed.
Due to the flames of war, it was a mess, and as a French pilot said, the ground was like a spread out toad skin.
