The conversation with Lillard Azhara didn't last long.

Qin Zhiyuan initially had the idea of solving the problem, but Lillard Esharra's attitude made Qin Zhiyuan feel very unfriendly, so the meeting did not make any progress.

The two of them have been talking to themselves all the time, and neither has listened to each other's ideas, and the result can be imagined.

Lillard didn't take advantage of this opportunity, and although Qin Zhiyuan was clear that this was the only opportunity, Lillard obviously didn't think so.

Qin Zhiyuan didn't want to correct Lillard's thoughts, Qin Zhiyuan still had his own things to be busy with, and this matter was just an episode.

The current situation of the local siege in front of the Foreign Legion has not been resolved, the guards are still hiding behind the sandbag fortress, and the women and children still dare not move forward, only dare to shout and curse from a distance, and do not make any further movements.

Qin Zhiyuan didn't have the heart to care about this matter now, his mind was on the airport.

Regarding the airport, Qin Zhiyuan did not passively wait for the appropriation from above, but took the initiative to use the existing conditions to start construction.

Of course, money is needed to build the airport, but if those workers are soldiers of the Foreign Legion, then there is no need to spend extra money. As for the venue, the Foreign Legion has a large enough space that if Qin Zhiyuan wants to, he can build the largest airport in the world.

Of course, it doesn't need to be so big, Qin Zhiyuan's requirements are only two one-kilometer-long runways, and then there must be more than ten permanent or semi-permanent hangars, plus oil depots and ammunition depots.

That puts it this way, the airport covers an area of less than one square kilometer.

So from the afternoon of the same day, the airport officially started.

Marko's choice of place was next to the training ground in the barracks, where the terrain was open and the ground was relatively neat, so it only needed to be properly organized before the aircraft could take off and land.

In fact, the requirements of ordinary aircraft such as fighter jets for airports are very simple, and they can take off and land on any flat ground or even grass. However, for transport aircraft with large self-weight, there are certain requirements for the runway, although it is not said that needles cannot be pricked and water splashes cannot seep, but if there are potholes, it will definitely not work.

And most of the planes of the Foreign Legion are transport planes, so the airport runway still has to rest.

After lunch, Qin Zhiyuan came to the predetermined airport location and was also ready to take a proper hand.

"Hey, hey, Qin, aren't you?" Seeing Qin Zhiyuan rolling up his arms and sleeves, Pierre was dumbfounded.

For a senior general of the French army, it is just a matter of moving his mouth when he wants to do something, and no one really starts directly. Although the French Constitution also states that all people are equal, in many things, inequality is everywhere, everyone is accustomed to it, and only those "secondary school students" who have not left school will think that everyone is really equal.

"What's not?" Qin Zhiyuan didn't care, came to the side of the shed where the equipment was stacked, picked up a sapper shovel and walked to the runway.

"Long ...... Sir! The sergeant guarding the equipment stammered and saluted, and after the salute, he consciously picked up a sapper shovel and chased Qin Zhiyuan over.

"I thought you were just talking......" Pierre also picked up a sapper shovel, and behind him was the old driver Gary Buel, who was still playing with the sapper shovel.

"What do you mean by just talking? After this airport is built, should we use it? Qin Zhiyuan didn't talk nonsense, and started when he came to the predetermined runway location.

"Of course to use, I just think that you should do more important things, your time is precious." Pierre gave a little neckline and began to wave the shovel in his hand.

"Do your own thing, your mother must have taught you this when you were a child, have you forgotten it now?" Qin Zhiyuan looked at Pierre, who had just waved two or three times and began to gasp a little, his brows were furrowed and he was a little disgusted: "You have to strengthen your workout, look at you, you are not yet 30 years old, do you have to have a waist circumference of more than 30 pants?" ”

"Hey, hey, it's still far from 30, it's only 26 at the moment." Pierre shouted.

The place where Qin Zhiyuan stayed was a soil pit where the soil was taken, and the soil would be transported to the runway from here, and then rolled and leveled little by little using construction machinery.

When they saw Qin Zhiyuan and Pierre coming, almost all the soldiers were dumbfounded, and then the soldiers burst into earth-shattering cheers, and their hands and feet were much faster.

"Hi, Your Excellency, you really embarrassed us." Perhaps it was the cheers or the report that Marco rushed over and joined the laborers.

"It's not to embarrass you, it's for you to build this place bit by bit." Qin Zhiyuan's answer had another profound meaning.

"Little by little...... All? Marco was stunned.

"Yes! All! From now on, all officers are required to work unless they are on official duty until the construction of this airfield is completed. If there are similar works in the future, such provisions will continue. Qin Zhiyuan's voice was loud.

"Why? We can hire people. "Marco couldn't understand.

"Why hire someone else? We're going to build it with our own hands, just like we're building our own home. That way, when we are threatened, we will defend the place as if we were defending our own home. Qin Zhiyuan thought far.

"Defend ...... But the Germans were still far away, and they could not have fought here. Marco did not have a good understanding of the "enemy".

"Marko, you have to believe that our enemies are everywhere." Qin Zhiyuan raised his eyes and saw that there was a fetishistic temple in the distance, the minaret of that temple was particularly high, and he could see it very clearly when he stood in Qin Zhiyuan's position.

Marco followed Qin Zhiyuan's gaze, as if he understood something, but he was not sure, and his face was a little dazed.

Driven by Qin Zhiyuan's personal practice, the progress of the airport was very fast, and the airport runway was renovated in just three days.

The first transport plane to land was LT-01, the first letter of the words "Foreign Legion" and "transport aircraft", which could transport a heavily armed combat squad or 1,000 kilograms of cargo and fly a distance of 1,200 kilometers at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour.

If you're flying from Marseille, you can fly to Sidi Belle Abbas.

Because the first plane was a test, it didn't carry much stuff, only some veal steaks from the United States and wine from mainland France, Qin Zhiyuan was ready to add a dish to everyone in the evening if it was successful, which could be regarded as a reward for the hard work of the past few days.

With the help of modern large machinery, coupled with the unity of everyone at the corps headquarters, the airport runway was completely up to standard, and Zhou Hongguang, who was personally in charge of this flight mission, only circled around the airport twice, and then found a suitable angle to park the plane firmly on the runway.

"Long live ......" When the plane was stable, whether it was Qin Zhiyuan on the tower or Marco on the runway with a fire extinguisher to prevent accidents, there were earth-shattering cheers.

The completion of the construction of the airport also indicates that the Foreign Legion will have a faster response speed and more powerful strike capability, no matter where there is an unexpected situation in French North Africa, the Foreign Legion can rush to the area of the incident as quickly as possible, which is considered a rapid reaction force in the early 20th century.

Of course, Qin Zhiyuan does not want to establish a "rapid reaction force" yet, as long as he has this concept, even if he wants to establish it, it will have to wait until he returns to the Far East to establish a rapid reaction force mainly Chinese.

After the airport was built, it was really much more convenient to travel back and forth, and that night, when the legionnaires were drinking red wine and eating steaks, Qin Zhiyuan was already sitting in the office with the new Algerian governor Maxim.

"To deal with these **** elements, you must not be soft-hearted, if you let it go, it will definitely cause uncontrollable consequences, and it will be too late to regret it." Qin Zhiyuan is also French now, so it is reasonable to speak from the position of France.

France attaches great importance to Algeria and after World War II, it implemented a plan to aid Algeria with 160 billion francs. Since the French attach importance to Algeria, on the premise of not harming the interests of the Beiyang government, Qin Zhiyuan does not mind helping France.

"No, no, no, this is contrary to the current policy of the French government, we cannot implement draconian measures, we must be subtle. You know, some people are like springs, the more pressure you put on them, the bigger the rebound will be. "Maxim is an excellent executor.

"It is impossible to succeed subtly, the local people here are very resistant to us, they reject our assimilation from the heart, and even they have gradually awakened their national consciousness now because of the modern civilization we have brought, which is very dangerous." Qin Zhiyuan's solemn warning.

Regardless of whether Maxim will pay attention to the issue that Qin Zhiyuan said, as long as Qin Zhiyuan puts it forward clearly, even if he has fulfilled his responsibility, as for France's prospects in Algeria, to be honest, this has little to do with Qin Zhiyuan.

Qin Zhiyuan has not regarded himself as a Frenchman until now, and for Qin Zhiyuan, the interests of the Beiyang government are obviously more important.

"So what do you think we should do?" Maxim remembered Leotai and Foch's advice before leaving, and finally remembered to ask Qin Zhiyuan's advice.

"Freedom of religion!" Qin Zhiyuan was decisive.

In fact, no matter how you look at it, in another time and space, the CCP's religious policy is very effective, limiting the influence of religion on the secular regime to the greatest extent.

"Freedom of religion?" Maxim was confused.

"Yes, freedom of religion! It's not just the freedom to believe or not to believe, there's the freedom to believe this or that. Qin Zhiyuan explained.

The independence of a nation is mainly manifested in religion and culture, and the goal of naturalization can only be achieved by starting from both religion and culture. On the issue of "naturalization", all the means of Huairou are scratching the shoe, because no matter what nationality it is, there are always some people who want to throw themselves into the land, even at the cost of the happiness of the clan.

"No, no, no, this rule will definitely cause a riot, and the people here will not accept it." Maxim shook his head.

"Don't accept it? Then let them go! "Qin Zhiyuan was decisive in killing.

"Leave? Where do they go? Maxim was confused.

"Go wherever they want to go, as long as they don't stay here. If you want to stay, you have to follow our laws. Qin Zhiyuan was resolute.

"How is this possible? If there are no people in Algeria, is this still Algeria? "Maxim was disappointed.

"How not? There will always be people who choose to stay, and those who stay will form a new Algeria with us, and since we have come to Algeria, then we are Algerians. "Qin Zhiyuan has a sufficient sense of the protagonist.

"Qin, this is unrealistic. Perhaps for the Republic of China in the Far East, your way is suitable, because you can get countless people from the Far East to fill this place at any time, and this place will continue to prosper. But this is France, we don't have enough population, we don't have enough war potential, every Algerian is important to France. Maxim shook his head and sighed.

Qin Zhiyuan suddenly realized, that's right, in terms of human resources, France and the Republic of China are really too far apart, and different prerequisites will naturally lead to results.
