After Pierre joined the Sixth Regiment, he immediately started working. The first task was to upgrade the Sixth Regiment.
At this time, the French army only had about 2,000 people in a regiment-level organization. Qin Zhiyuan had more than 5,000 troops in his hands. It was no longer appropriate to continue to use the regiment-level organization. It was more appropriate to use a brigade-level organization.
Modifying the unit number and upgrading the unit's specifications was a troublesome matter. Only Foch had the energy, so Pierre returned to Amiens and used his personal connections to go to the Yamen.
This is not a simple matter. It requires both connections and capital. Therefore, Qin Zhiyuan specially approved a fund of 100,000 francs and gave it to Pierre to use as he pleased.
Of course, in order to avoid unexpected situations, Huang Fugui sent a financial secretary to keep the money. Pierre could use the money at will, but he had to go through the financial secretary to get it.
Qin Zhiyuan did not return to Amiens, he had his own things to do.
The officer corps sent by the Beiyang government has arrived.
There are a total of 22 people in this officer corps, including recent graduates of the Army Academy and veterans of hundreds of battles in the military. The leader is Zhang Jingzong, 35 years old, with the rank of lieutenant colonel. He participated in the Revolution of 1911 and is considered a member of the Beiyang system.
veteran qualifications.
On the night when the officer corps arrived at the army, Qin Zhiyuan summoned a group of officers and held a welcome banquet to welcome the arrival of the officer corps.
The welcome banquet was held in the restaurant of the Sixth Regiment. Except for the officers on duty, all officers above the rank of second lieutenant were present.
Although the Sixth Regiment already has more than 5,000 people, except for Qin Zhiyuan and Qin Zhisheng, most of the officers are lieutenants. Based on this calculation, in terms of the overall military rank of the participating officers, it is actually the officers of the Beiyang Government who account for a greater proportion of the school officers.
.
It has now entered winter, and although the supplies delivered by the French are not as abundant as before, they are still much better than those of the Germans. The chef of the sixth regiment did it himself, frying and stir-frying all kinds of things, and made all kinds of things out of the monotonous canned food.
The variety adds a lot of color to the dinner party.
There are many kinds of wine, including not only the red wine distributed by France, but also British rum obtained through exchanges, German brandy captured through the war, various beers, fruit wine, sparkling wine, etc., and even the Russians often drink
Vodka is available.
At this time, the standard of living in the Republic of China was far inferior to that in war-torn Europe. Although the officers sent by the Beiyang government usually had no worries about food and drink, they were dazzled by the tables full of cans and drinks. Fortunately, they were
As a soldier, you have your own pride and dignity. When facing a table full of wine, although your eyes are full of curiosity and desire, you can still remain somewhat reserved.
Let us raise a toast together to greet the brothers who have come from afar. After entering the same camp, we are a family. I hope that in the days to come, we can cooperate sincerely and work together. Qin Zhiyuan delivered a speech first.
Chinese banquets are different from Westerners' cocktail parties. Chinese people like to use a round table format, where everyone takes their place, which means perfection and stability. Although the cocktail party format adopted by Westerners is more free, it is loose in form and has no fixed combination. It is not as conducive to deepening the understanding as the round table format.
emotion.
Everyone raised their glasses and drank it all.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, as Chen Kangjian and other wine connoisseurs deliberately enhanced the atmosphere, everyone lost their initial strangeness and alienation, and the atmosphere became lively and joyful.
The wine is good, but the food is not so good. Most of the food on the table is canned food, which tastes the same every time you eat it. The newcomers are still fresh, but Chen Kangjian and his gang have long been tired of it.
So Chen Kangjian and Zheng Dali concentrated on drinking. Not only did they drink by themselves, but they also took the newcomers to drink with them. The two went back and forth to set off the atmosphere quite well.
If you drink on an empty stomach, you will feel drunk if you don't drink too much. The amount of alcohol you drink is much smaller than usual. Chen Kangjian drank several kinds of wine, which made him drunk faster.
General Qin, we have traveled across the ocean and traveled thousands of miles to come to Europe just to win glory for our country. We also hope that General Qin will not be seen outside. If you have any orders, please feel free to do so. If we don't know anything, General Qin will just take care of you.
We will send him back to his country without any complaints. Zhang Jingzong was already in his thirties and was quite sophisticated in his conduct. When he saw someone who was too drunk, he stood up to express his position.
As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly became a little deserted. Everyone looked at Qin Zhiyuan and waited for Qin Zhiyuan's instructions. Although the Sixth Regiment was newly established, it was a carrot and a pit, and all positions were taken care of. Zhang Jingzong said this beautifully.
, in fact, he is asking for an official position, which makes people uncomfortable to hear.
Someone like Liu Zizheng, who is serious, can still keep his temper after hearing these words. Someone like Chen Kangjian, who is irritable, immediately puts down his cup and thinks of sarcasm.
Regarding your arrangements, Qin has already made a decision. Qin Zhiyuan raised his hand to stop Chen Kangjian who was about to explode. With a faint smile on his face, he said Wen Yan: The Sixth Regiment is preparing to set up a staff department. Brothers, please arrive first.
I will serve in the staff department. I will wait until the next expansion or other positions become vacant. I don’t know what your thoughts are, brothers.
Haha, it doesn't matter if you are a staff officer, as long as you have a position that can keep everyone busy. I have been floating on the ship for more than a month. Now, Lao Zhang, I can see that everything is shaking, and I am afraid that I can't shoot accurately. I happen to be in the staff position.
After some practice, Zhang Jingzong seemed unaware of the angry glares from Chen Kangjian and others, and he was indeed very considerate.
As soon as Zhang Jingzong's words came out, the expressions on the faces of Chen Kangjian and others suddenly relaxed. They stretched out their hands to avoid hitting the smiling man, not to mention they were all colleagues in the military. It was really inappropriate to break up their faces over this matter.
Haha, as long as you don't dislike it, Brother Zhang, come on, let's have another drink. Qin Zhiyuan is basically satisfied with Zhang Jingzong's attitude.
Compared with the Beiyang officers with professional backgrounds, most of the officers on Qin Zhiyuan's side were civilians before, so they really don't have any advantage. However, they have a close relationship with Qin Zhiyuan and have a life-and-death friendship. They are unparalleled in terms of trustworthiness.
The advantages.
The head of the staff department is Colonel Pierre. Colonel Pierre has important matters to go to Amiens today and has no time to meet you. When Colonel Pierre comes back, Qin will introduce you to you. After Qin Zhiyuan finished speaking, he looked at the officers of the Beiyang Department.
Most of them looked blank, and added a few more words: Colonel Pierre is a top student who graduated from Saint-Cyr Military Academy. He is only 25 years old and already has the rank of colonel. You can get closer to Colonel Pierre in the future.
Learn Western tactics.
Qin Zhiyuan did not introduce much about Pierre's background. Being able to hold the rank of colonel at the age of 25 already speaks volumes.
This is natural. When Chief of Staff Pierre comes back, we will definitely get closer to him. Please rest assured, General Qin. Zhang Jingzong agreed wholeheartedly.
It's useless to talk nice about this kind of thing. How to do it depends on the performance.
Although there were some twists and turns, it was generally quite harmonious. The Beiyang officers were smoothly integrated into the Sixth Regiment, and there was no struggle for power or distinction between them and the original officers of the Sixth Regiment. It was a good start.
The next day, Pierre returned to Cappi, the staff headquarters was formally established, and the training work of the Sixth Regiment was on track.
