Chapter 60: Mess

Just as the Chinese were enthusiastically joining the Foreign Legion, several Britons came outside the Chinese camp.

"That person's name is Qin?" A British officer with the rank of major general asked William.

"Yes, General Sauber." William's face was still swollen, and he had changed into clean clothes and tried to maintain a neat demeanor.

"Oh, how did you mess with him? He's been in the limelight lately. "Sober is a high-ranking military officer and knows more about Qin Zhiyuan.

"General, it was he who made the first move." William can only grasp this point now.

"Of course, I will complain to General Foch about Qin's outrageous behavior. But you should also change your attitude towards work, William, this is a special time and we need more strength. Sauber understood what Qin Zhiyuan meant to France, so he didn't make any commitments.

William did not expect this attitude of the major general, and after being silent for a while, he said unwillingly: "General, please forgive me, I don't think that Chinese deserves our attention. ”

"It's not something you and I decide." Sauber was a little dissatisfied with William's attitude, and his tone became much stiffer: "Qin's ability is amazing, he is not comparable to you, you just need to do your logistics, Captain." ”

Qin Zhiyuan's achievements have spread to all the troops in the Somme region with the commendation order. William is an officer in charge of logistics, and it is understandable that he does not know Qin Zhiyuan, but Sober is very aware of Qin Zhiyuan's ability.

To be honest, Sauber was very envious of Foch having subordinates like Qin Zhiyuan. If there was an Indian who could be as good as Qin Zhiyuan, Sober would try his best to convince the War Department to give him more power.

"But, General, Qin has caused a lot of trouble to my work by doing this." William knew very well that if he couldn't save this game, then he would have no prestige in front of the Chinese workers.

"Your troubles come from yourself, Captain William. I hope you can understand that the Chinese are not Indians, and China is not a colony of our British Empire, they sign labor contracts. You have the right to choose unilateral termination at any time, and if the Chinese stop working, you will only be left with Indians, and that is the beginning of your troubles. Or rather, the beginning of your disaster! "Sauber is a little impatient, as a major general, he has too many things to attend to, and it is impossible to delay too much time here.

The efficiency of the work of the Indians is obvious to all, if it were not for the Chinese, William's work would have been a mess long ago, and the most regrettable thing is that William could not see the role of the Chinese, which is really short-sighted.

While Sauber and William were talking, several more cars arrived in front of the camp to welcome the army, and Sober looked at it intently, and the cars were all hung with passes for Army Group North Headquarters.

This is the arrival of the Fochists.

"Hello, Major General Sober, General Foch has sent me to assist you in this matter." If Qin Zhiyuan was present, he would definitely know that the leading Frenchman was Bruno Abel García.

"Hello, Colonel." Sauber replied, and his brain began to hurt again.

Look, this is how much the French attach importance to Qin Zhiyuan. Qin Zhiyuan had just beaten someone for less than an hour when the person who wiped his ass came.

……

Inside the Chinese Workers' Camp.

Qin Zhiyuan and Wang Dingshan had a very happy conversation.

"So there are more than 2,700 of you." Qin Zhiyuan glanced at the camp, but he didn't expect there to be so many people.

"Yes, we have more than 2,700 people. If you don't count the sick, there are now more than 2,500, and this morning a group of brothers went to Albert with a convoy to resupply and have not yet returned. Wang Dingshan looked at Qin Zhiyuan with anticipation, he hoped that Qin Zhiyuan would allow all 2,700 people to join the Foreign Legion.

Even if he can't join all, Wang Dingshan doesn't want to follow the British anymore. Hearing Qin Zhiyuan's description of the life of Chinese workers, Wang Dingshan wanted to take all the Chinese workers here away and turn them to serve the French. The attitude of the French towards Chinese workers was much better than that of the British, at least the French treated Chinese workers as human beings. Within 10 days of arriving in France, 200 of the 2,700 Chinese workers fell ill, which shows how poor the living conditions are.

"No problem, if they want to, they can join the Foreign Legion, even if they don't want to work hard, I can find a way to help them change jobs. The conditions here are simply too poor to live in for a long time. "Qin Zhiyuan didn't fool people, he now has nearly a thousand Chinese workers in his hands, all of whom are unwilling to join the Foreign Legion.

Qin Zhiyuan went to Renault this time, he wanted to help Chinese workers find jobs, if he could enter Renault, even if he twisted a screw on the automobile production line, it was better than digging trenches and carrying corpses on the front line. What's more, Renault has deep connections in France, and if it can take this opportunity to send some workers into steel mills, arsenals, etc., even if these Chinese workers return to China in the future, they can find a good job with their skills.

"That's really good, Qin Ye, many of our brothers here are well-off, they really don't want to go to the battlefield to fight hard, if you can change jobs, please rest assured Qin Ye, brothers will do a good job." Wang Dingshan was overjoyed, and naturally changed the title of Qin Zhiyuan to "Qin Ye".

"Well said!" Qin Zhiyuan was very satisfied.

"Hi Qin, nice to meet you." Sauber and Bruno enter the Chinese camp.

As soon as he entered the camp, Sauber subconsciously covered his nose. As a front-line commander, Sauber never imagined that the conditions in the Chinese camp would be so harsh. This also made him even more disgusted with William, in such an environment, the Chinese did not riot and was already very restrained.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, General, and to salute you." For those who take the initiative to release kindness, Qin Zhiyuan has never spoken ill of him.

"Hello, Colonel Bruno." In front of outsiders, Qin Zhiyuan and Bruno deliberately kept their distance.

"Hello, Qin, the general asked me to take care of this matter, and you can continue to Paris now." Bruno blinked his eyes and gave Qin Zhiyuan a "please rest assured" expression.

"No, no, no, things are a bit big now, Bruno, I think you're going to have to help me make another batch of uniforms." The clothing of the sixth regiment was in charge of Bruno, and Qin Zhiyuan was in trouble.

"What? Still? God, Qin, do you know, you now have the clothing of five thousand people, do you still have to expand your army? Bruno felt incredible, although the French army was also expanding, it was still far inferior to Qin Zhiyuan's expansion speed.

"Yes, I still need the costumes of three thousand people. I think that maybe soon, my 6th Regiment will be upgraded to the 6th Division. "To be honest, if Qin Zhiyuan is willing, his troops can be upgraded now, and in terms of numbers, Qin Zhiyuan's subordinates are basically a division.

"I take the liberty of asking, Qin, where did you get the three thousand people?" Sauber had a very bad feeling.

"Here, them." Qin Zhiyuan made a gesture to the Chinese workers.

Following the direction of Qin Zhiyuan's finger, all the Chinese workers straightened their waists, as if they were being inspected by the chief, showing their fierce side as much as possible.

"No, no, no...... Qin, you can't do this. Sauber muttered to himself, as if he had seen that with the departure of the Chinese, the logistics of the 79th Division had become a mess.
