Sidi Bel Abbas is located 56 kilometres from Oran, separated by the Oran Salt Flats, with a railway between the two places.

Sidi Belle Abbas is located in the Atlas Mountains, a small city with a population of just over 30,000 people, surrounded by endless vineyards and orchards. There are no mineral resources here, and almost everyone is related to the Foreign Legion, either the soldiers of the Foreign Legion or the families of the soldiers, strictly speaking, a large barracks.

The headquarters of the Foreign Legion was built in the original city walls, and the houses were built around the headquarters of the Corps, which looks like a 21st-century U.S. military base in Okinawa.

As in almost all North African cities, there is little urban planning to speak of, buildings are disorganized, censuses never seem to have been conducted, the proportion of young people is very high, and locals are almost everywhere wrapped from head to toe.

Because the troops of the Foreign Legion did not perform well in this "mutiny", all three infantry regiments composed of Algerians were disbanded, some of these soldiers are being imprisoned, and some have returned to Sidi Bel Abbas, because of the uncertainty of the future and nothing to do, the streets are full of idle young people, they look at Qin Zhiyuan's convoy with unfriendly eyes, hatred is not to talk about, fear and disgust are more elements.

"Since the outbreak of the 'Lockdown Day', the situation here has not been good, there is panic, there are rumours that some people who work in mainland France have returned, and it is said that they are promoting something that is not good for us, which is the biggest unrest here right now." Jean Marco sat in the car and explained to Qin Zhiyuan that Marco chose a very vivid term to describe the "mutiny" that occurred in mainland France some time ago.

Jean Marco is about forty years old this year, which is the age of prime of life, but his body is prematurely fattened, and he looks a little bloated, not like a soldier. Marco had a bushy beard rarely seen in Paris, and he looked similar to that of a native of Sidi Belle Abbas. Marco laughed that it would make him look more like an Algerian and be more conducive to his work.

Qin Zhiyuan didn't want to have such a big beard, so Qin Zhiyuan didn't care if his work was good or not.

In fact, Qin Zhiyuan was not prepared to rely on the local people to carry out the work, but was prepared to introduce a foreign population, of course, this foreign population could not all be Chinese, Qin Zhiyuan was also prepared to bring in blacks from Central Africa and southern Africa.

Anyway, the population of Algeria is complex enough, so let's be a little more complicated.

Since he was preparing to introduce Chinese, Qin Zhiyuan wanted to give the Chinese a stable environment, so when Qin Zhiyuan heard that some Algerians with higher education had returned to Sidi Belle Abbas from mainland France, Qin Zhiyuan immediately became nervous.

"Who are they? Can you send someone inside them and see what they're doing? "Qin Zhiyuan is ready to mix sand.

These highly educated colonists are in fact the pioneers of the "national awakening", and like the "founding fathers" of the Republic of China, they will lead the cause of independence in the colonies.

Of course, Qin Zhiyuan is grateful to the "Father of the Nation", although the Father of the Nation's ability to govern is not very good, and there are all kinds of human weaknesses, but in any case, the historical merits of the "Father of the Nation" cannot be erased.

But gratitude to gratitude, respect to respect, for Qin Zhiyuan, who is now a "ruler" and a member of the "vested interests" group, we must pay attention to these "pioneers of national awakening", Qin Zhiyuan does not want Algeria to make a mess in his own hands,

"Lawyers, teachers, frustrated politicians, all of them, they're just talking about it, and now that there's a war going on in France, there's no room for these people to show their talents, so they're coming back and making a voice out in another way. To put it bluntly, these people are not satisfied with what they have now, they want more, but they don't want to think that if it weren't for the great France, they might still be herding sheep! "Marco does know Algeria well, but unfortunately he doesn't know enough, and his words are full of French pride and superiority.

"That's the core of the matter, you think France gave them the life they wanted, but that's not necessarily what they want, maybe they think that staying in the same way of life is happiness." Qin Zhiyuan did not use affirmative sentences, although what Qin Zhiyuan said was more like the truth.

"The state of life before? Is there anything to praise about that? There are no railways, no cars, and it takes half a year to walk from here to Incaizamu, because we have brought modern civilization to Algeria and we have rescued them from a backward and ignorant state, and they should have a grateful heart. "Marco is stubborn, but stubbornness is not unreasonable.

"There is a huge difference between the two cultures, and this one cannot be reconciled." Qin Zhiyuan didn't finish all the reasons, because that would lead to huge controversy.

"That's right, irreconcilable contradictions." Marco agreed with Qin Zhiyuan's statement, and then began to gloat again: "Fortunately, this is not something we should worry about, these problems belong to Mr. Maxim, speaking of which, I don't know if you know what kind of person our new governor is?" ”

"Maxim is very good, steady, attentive, and the point is that he never expresses his opinion lightly." Qin Zhiyuan gave Maxim a full positive evaluation, and in all fairness, Maxim belonged to a good category among the French people Qin Zhiyuan came into contact with.

Of course, this may be due to the bonus effect of Fuch.

Soon, the convoy came to the front of the headquarters of the Foreign Legion.

As a "holy place" in the hearts of foreign soldiers, it seems that the front of the headquarters is not calm, and a large group of locals gather in front of the door, although they do not directly rush the sentry, but they are also loudly expressing their dissatisfaction.

Two improvised machine-gun positions were set up with sandbags outside the sentry post in front of the headquarters, and behind the machine guns in the black hole, there were soldiers who were waiting for the battle. Perhaps because of the strong threat, these locals did not storm the sentry posts, but instead resorted to cursing.

Although Qin Zhiyuan knows a lot of languages, it does not include "Algerian", so he can't understand what they are saying, but from the excited expressions of these locals and the analysis of exaggerated body movements, it is estimated that it is not a good word.

This scene made Qin Zhiyuan a little stunned, Qin Zhiyuan really didn't expect that Sidi Belle Abbas would actually greet him in this way.

When they saw a convoy coming, these locals not only did not disperse, but instead targeted the convoy, perhaps they also knew that only big people could ride in cars. None of them were young, but older women or elderly people with limited mobility, who continued to wave their hands and shout in the direction of the convoy in a somewhat sharp language with a lot of plosllistic syllables.

Marco is not surprised by this, it seems that this situation is often played out, and Marco is used to it.

"It's all local fetishists, and they have a strange ban on drinking, which has something to do with their previous strict religious structure, and it's always hard to control people who drink too much. During this time, quite a few soldiers returned to the headquarters from France, and the soldiers were in a bad mood, and some of them drank heavily all day long, which caused the discontent of these people, who gathered here and demanded that we respect their customs. Marco explained with a bitter face that as the current top official of the Legion Headquarters, such a thing really made Marko's face not have the slightest brilliance at all.

"How was this situation handled before?" Qin Zhiyuan and Marco were talking, their eyes were patrolling around.

In front of the headquarters of the Foreign Legion is a simple road paved with gravel, lined with low buildings full of North African style, using a large number of round arch structures, basically one-story dwellings, and occasionally some tall houses, presumably religious buildings.

Although the locals gathered in front of the headquarters of the Foreign Legion were all old and weak, women and children, but in the farther places, the occasional peek into the rooftops of the street corners were written about young people.

This is really despicable, they may have let these women and children test the patience of the Foreign Legion, think about it, how can a soldier who has always prided himself as a civilized person use weapons against these unarmed women and children, if these women and children are stubborn, it is really a dead knot that is difficult to unravel.

Qin Zhiyuan speculated with his agent's heart that if someone had a purpose in designing all this, then that person would definitely be nearby, and he wanted to see the effect of this method with his own eyes, so that he could challenge his own way next.

Sure enough, just after Qin Zhiyuan looked farther, Qin Zhiyuan found that in the window of a spire building similar to a tall tower not far away, he found several locals in suits and leather shoes.

When Qin Zhiyuan pointed out to Marco that there was there, Marco just picked up the binoculars and glanced at it, and said with great certainty: "That's right, it's those people, it's only after they all come back from the mainland that the locals here will become aggressive." ”

The fact that the local Algerian costumes are very national, and that their "churches" are absolutely inaccessible if they are not of their own denomination, and that the fact that they are now in the local church of Sidi Belle Abbas in suits is in itself.

"Very well, find someone to inform them, and I will give them a chance to present themselves to me in person tomorrow. Remember, make it clear to them that you only get one chance. "Qin Zhiyuan doesn't want to be a big stick like Leotey said, so he still has to try to see if there is a possibility of dialogue.

If you can, no one wants to come up with a stick, it's too discordant and not economical enough.

Qin Zhiyuan is now the chairman of several companies, and these economic accounts must be calculated clearly.
