That night, the main castle conference room of Thunder Bluff.

The First Brigade is going to return to mainland France, and the meeting that is now being held is to discuss this issue.

At present, the number of soldiers in the First Brigade has exceeded 10,000, the strength of the four regiments of Chen Kangjian, Ge Lifu, Liu Zizheng, and Zhang Tianshou has exceeded 2,000, and the number of Zheng Dali's artillery has also exceeded 3,000, and it is equipped with 36 120-mm guns and 12 150-mm heavy guns.

After evaluation, Qin Zhiyuan made a difficult decision to eliminate the artillery equipped with the "Miss 75" unit, which was either a large-caliber heavy artillery or a mortar equipped with a level. The ratio of mortars to heavy machine guns and light machine guns in the 1st Brigade was second to none among all the Allied forces. Each company of 120 men has its own machine gun platoon, which is equipped with three 80 mm mortars and four MG08 heavy machine guns, and the equipment of light machine guns has reached the squad level, and each squad is equipped with an MG08/15 light machine gun, or a Lewis light machine gun, also 7.92 mm caliber.

The advantages and disadvantages of these two light machine guns are different, the Lewis type is relatively light in weight and easy to carry; The MG08/15 has good firepower, but it weighs a little heavier, but it's still within the soldier's tolerance.

This is the infantry strength of the First Brigade, and if you add the navy and the soldiers who are being trained in the Trident training camp, the strength of the First Brigade is close to 20,000. Even compared with the larger French divisions, it was a proper infantry division; Compared with the smaller British divisions, it is far more than that.

Even if the 1st Brigade were to return to the French mainland to fight, Corsica would still have to stay in the garrison, which everyone knew very well.

"First of all, I won't stay, I'm going to Kapi and beat those Germans." Chen Kangjian is resolute.

"If you say you won't stay, you won't stay?" Liu Zizheng rolled his eyes.

"Hehe, let's listen to Qin Ye, Qin Ye will keep whoever he asks." Zhang Tianshou has the least qualifications, and he has always been a good person.

"......" Griff has been silent.

Zheng Dali was silent, as the only artillery unit, he would definitely go to the French mainland.

Antonio, the commander of the destroyer fleet who was present as an observer, looked confused, he could not speak Chinese, and he had no idea what everyone was choking on.

The director of the field hospital, Mao Shibadao, did not attend the meeting, and he has been squatting in Sandy's laboratory recently, wanting to rub some fairy energy and smell the "dynamite award".

The old god Qin Zhisheng, the chief manager of logistics, is here, and his current positioning is logistics, once Qin Zhiyuan leads the troops back to mainland France, Qin Zhisheng will be the king of Corsica.

"Let's go back this time, it is estimated that we will not immediately enter the battle, but we must also be prepared for battle, within a week, the British and French forces will launch an offensive on the front line of Arras and Shermandaem, this offensive is very large, France alone has mobilized 53 divisions, more than 1.2 million people. Our General Qin's newly formed troops are also in the battle sequence of the French army, and it is said that they are still relatively advanced. Qin Zhiyuan reported on the battle situation.

"it!" Chen Kangjian scolded.

"It's murder to let a bunch of untrained folks go to war!" Liu Zizheng complained.

"That General Qin's head is in the water!" Zheng Dali affirmed.

The ellipsis of "......" belongs to Griff, although this is not accurate, as he does not even say "ellipsis".

“f・u・c・k！” Antonio didn't understand everything, but he understood the national scolding from Chen Kangjian, and it was always good to follow the scolding.

Some people learn a language and the first thing they learn is the words related to swearing.

"Anyway, since being a soldier requires a sense of dedication, we are the same. In order to cope with the next battle, let's go back to the three regiments, as well as the artillery regiment and the field hospital, and you can discuss who goes and who stays. Qin Zhiyuan is not dictatorial, and gives full play to the subjective initiative of everyone present: "Lao Chen, how many tankers do you have in your hands now?" ”

Old Renault prepared 120 tanks for Qin Zhiyuan, which was enough for Qin Zhiyuan to form a tank regiment, and Qin Zhiyuan was ready to change Chen Kangjian's first regiment into the first armored regiment, and at the same time, the second, third, and fourth regiments were successively advanced into the new first, second, and third regiments.

Qin Zhiyuan forced himself not to think about his compatriots who were about to jump into the fire pit, Qin Zhiyuan was not a saint and could not save everyone, especially under the premise that there were still constraints. Being able to take care of the soldiers of the First Brigade is already the limit of Qin Zhiyuan's ability at present, time will eventually prove who is right and who is wrong, and the obsessive side will definitely be abandoned by everyone at that time.

"More than two hundred, the number of gunners is more than this, and if we have more tanks, this number will increase." Chen Kangjian is confident.

With more than 20 tanks and more than 200 tankers trained in three months, this result is not too good, but it is acceptable.

"Okay, don't bring tanks with your troops when they go back, there are a new batch of them waiting for you to take over in Paris." Qin Zhiyuan was basically satisfied.

"Great!" Chen Kangjian was overjoyed.

Old Renault was able to produce so many tanks, thanks to the French generals who did not pay attention to the tank troops, and even people like Foch were not optimistic about the future of tanks in the war, which shows the seriousness of the French military's conservative mood.

This is just convenient for Qin Zhiyuan, according to the old Renault, the tank factory can now produce nearly 200 tanks per month, which is still the result of not starting at full capacity. The French army did not accurately position the tank, believing that the gun on the turret was not powerful enough, and the machine gun was not capable of attacking the bunker when it was installed, so it was an accessory equipment. This led to a very hilarious consequence, as this very month, when Nivile equipped the troops of his old subordinate General Alfred Michel with tanks, Alfred refused.

Alfred commanded all of Nivelle's mobile forces, and he would rather have more cavalry than have his soldiers buried in a narrow, hot tin box.

Well, Qin Zhiyuan has Alfred to thank.

Thanks to Alfred's conservatism, otherwise Qin Zhiyuan would not have gotten this batch of tanks so smoothly.

"Okay, Lao Zhang, you stay, while guarding Thunder City and Trident City, do a good job in the training of recruits, as long as you can train 2,000 people, you can take your troops to the French mainland to participate in the war." Qin Zhiyuan was decisive.

With Chen Kangjian here, Duozheng Lou can give you crooked. Just when Qin Zhiyuan was talking, Chen Kangjian and Liu Zizheng had the sign of deciding who would stay with their fists, this could not be left alone, Qin Zhiyuan decisively stifled this kind of sprout.

"Okay, Master Qin." Zhang Tianshou nodded in agreement, and there was some disappointment in his eyes.

"Now this is our foundation, you have to be more attentive, mainly to guard Thunder City, especially the research institute and school district, there must be no chaos, I will leave all the tanks to you, you let it go, you should kill, you should bury, don't be soft." Qin Zhiyuan was not at ease.

Compared with Chen Kangjian's bravery, Liu Zizheng's steadiness, and Grace's ruthlessness, Zhang Tianshou's characteristics are not outstanding. This does not affect Zhang Tianshou's status in Qin Zhiyuan's heart, mediocrity also represents balance, which is a characteristic in itself.
