Qin Yunpeng came to say goodbye to Qin Zhiyuan.

Europe is fighting inextricably, and the Republic of China is not at peace.

At the beginning of the year, Prime Minister Duan Hefei ordered the whole country to be disarmed, and the overseers in various places were more or less cut, and then there was chaos in Sichuan.

In early April, Liu Cunhou, commander of the Second Division of the Sichuan Army, and Chen Zepei, commander of the Fourth Division, attacked Luo Peijin, the overseer of Sichuan, under the pretext of unfair troop cuts.

Luo Peijin served as Cai Yi's chief of staff during the Protectorate War, and when he served as the Sichuan overseer, he implemented the policy of strengthening Yunnan and weakening Sichuan, which had long aroused the dissatisfaction of the generals of the Sichuan army.

This is also the first warlord melee in the Republic of China, and since then the warlord melee copy of the Republic of China has been opened.

As Duan Zhiquan's confidant and favorite general, Qin Yunpeng was transferred back to the Republic of China by Duan Zhiquan to serve as the overseer of Sichuan in order to quell the rebellion.

This is actually Duan Zhiquan's protection of Qin Yunpeng, now the losses of the second brigade have not spread in the country, if the country knows the actual battle situation, and then Qin Zhiyuan's first brigade as a comparison, Qin Yunpeng is afraid that he will not be able to turn over in a short time.

Now Duan Zhiquan transferred Qin Yunpeng away, and then entrusted all the military forces of the Republic of China in Europe to Qin Zhiyuan, this is in the hope that Qin Zhiyuan will repay the favor and help Qin Yunpeng carry this black cauldron.

In order to make Qin Zhiyuan's back willing, Duan Zhiquan promoted Qin Zhiyuan's rank of major general to lieutenant general, and then promised to increase the export of manpower to Europe, and gave Qin Zhiyuan the right to mobilize all the manpower of the Republic of China in Europe.

This black pot Qin Zhiyuan didn't resist, but when he thought of the five thousand children who died in battle, Qin Zhiyuan was still blocked in his heart.

Blockage is blockage, people still have to look forward.

After obtaining the personnel rights, Qin Zhiyuan immediately went to Hu Weide to check all the human resources of the Republic of China in Europe.

It was only at this time that Qin Zhiyuan knew that he had almost missed something.

Although there were less than 10,000 people in Qin Yunpeng's army, there were more than 100 people who had studied in Europe and the United States, and many of them were first-class universities at this time. In terms of the proportion of higher education, it is much higher than Qin Zhiyuan's first brigade.

After the start of the World War, some of these people were stranded in Europe because they did not finish their studies, some came to Europe from the United States to fight in the war because they wanted to serve their country, and some were stranded in Europe because they did not have room to play when they returned to their home countries.

After Qin Yunpeng set up another mountain, unlike Qin Zhiyuan's idea of language learning, Qin Yunpeng devoted his main energy to the training of soldiers' military skills. Then the army needs a large number of translators, so these high-achieving students responded to the call of the country and joined the second brigade.

Fortunately, Qin Yunpeng still has some sense, so when the war is at its tightest, Qin Yunpeng did not send these people to the battlefield, otherwise, Qin Zhiyuan would probably drive a plane to catch up with Qin Yunpeng's train and then give him a shot.

Among these international students, most of them are studying literature, and only a dozen or so are studying science and engineering. This is also a common phenomenon at this time, emphasizing literature over reason, according to the traditional customs of China, learning literature is the way to study and become an official, and learning and theory is reduced to a small way of tricks and tricks.

I still insist on whether this kind of thinking is right or wrong and don't say it, but in Qin Zhiyuan's mind, studying literature is probably the laziest way, because science and engineering emphasize that "you have to bow down to know this matter", while literature just needs to sit there and talk nonsense.

Of course, it doesn't matter whether you study science and engineering or literature, as long as you reach the level of higher education, it is useful.

The schools and institutes on Corsica are nearing completion and require a large number of teachers and researchers, and these highly educated talents have come at the right time to alleviate the shortage of people in Qin Zhiyuan's hands.

But this is far from enough, Qin Zhiyuan and Hu Weide discussed, and sent a telegram to China, asking for more international students to be sent to Europe or the United States to systematically learn theoretical knowledge and advanced technology. If the Beiyang government can't afford the expenses that these international students need, Qin Zhiyuan will bear it alone.

If Qin Zhiyuan is responsible for it alone, Qin Zhiyuan also has a requirement that all students must study science and engineering, and they must return to China to serve for at least ten years after completing their studies.

Regarding this problem, Duan Zhiquan readily agreed, and Duan Zhiquan also knew the importance of talents, but the domestic affairs had not been straightened out yet, and he couldn't take this aspect into account for a while.

To be the prime minister of a country, or to say, no matter in any era, as long as you can become a human being, there will always be their excellence, not as stupid as described in some history books, most of that kind of books are tendentious.

It only took one night for Qin Zhiyuan to complete the adjustment of the first and second brigades on paper.

After the adjustment, the 1st Brigade and the 2nd Brigade will form a division, that is, the 1st Division of the Foreign Legion.

This division is subordinate to two infantry brigades, an armored regiment, and an artillery regiment under the division, as well as a logistics department composed of a baggage battalion, an ambulance battalion, an engineering corps, and a communications battalion. Chen Kangjian was the commander of the armored regiment, Liu Zizheng and Ge Lifu were the commanders of the two infantry brigades, and Zheng Dali was still in charge of artillery.

The chief officer of the logistics department was not Qin Zhisheng, but Huang Fugui, who had already joined the army, Qin Zhisheng stayed in Corsica and served as the military and political chief of Corsica.

Zhang Tianshou, who originally stayed on Corsica to train new soldiers, was sent to Borneo, where he led a training group of about 100 people to open a training camp in Borneo in the name of "protective umbrella", and at the same time sent people to protect the Chinese industry in Borneo.

After the reorganization, the first division has more than 20,000 troops, and the ratio of veterans to new recruits is about one to one.

After Qin Yunpeng returned to the Republic of China, Qin Zhiyuan returned to the state of monopoly, and the Chinese laborers sent by the Republic of China to Europe, plus the Chinese laborers sent by Huang Bohan, added up to almost 20,000 people every month, a quarter of these people will join the army, a quarter will stay in Corsica to strengthen construction, and the remaining half will be sent to the Renault factory to become industrial workers with a certain processing capacity.

When Qin Zhiyuan sent people to the Renault factory again, he didn't forget to draw people out. On the current island of Corsica, in the mountains northeast of Thunder City, a secret factory is being built, which will become the first factory in Qin Zhiyuan's hands.

A factory that completely belongs to Qin Zhiyuan.

The significance of industry is undoubtedly the most important and will remain the same. As early as when Qin Zhiyuan first started to cooperate with the old Renault, he consciously trained all kinds of workers, whether it was lathes, fitters, welders, or even stevedores, as long as it was related to industry, Qin Zhiyuan did not let go.

Over the past six months, this kind of training has already yielded initial results. In the Renault factory, there is an all-Chinese workshop, which can independently produce almost all military supplies from gunpowder to tanks, and as long as Qin Zhiyuan is willing, he can set up an all-Chinese factory at any time.

Only with the ability to be self-sufficient can Qin Zhiyuan be regarded as a firm foothold.
