From this day on, Foch ran through 90 divisions at the front in a month.

Every time he arrived in a division, Foch would communicate cordially with the soldiers, listen to their voices, and effectively solve their problems.

Unlike Russia, France had enough money, enough food, enough supplies, and generals who were willing to listen to their soldiers, so by the time June came, the mutiny had gradually subsided.

Foch organized a specialized logistics department, headed by Bruno Garcia, a veteran of Foch, with nearly 600 trucks dedicated to transporting supplies to the front. In particular, food, alcohol, and tobacco are the main ones, and the supply of these three items is more important than ammunition.

In the whole process of quelling the mutiny, although Foch deliberately controlled not to expand the gaffe, nearly 10,000 soldiers were arrested, and nearly 5,000 were sentenced to death, but in reality only a few hundred were executed, many more went to prison to serve their sentences, and many more were sent to the colonies, the exact number is only known to the French government.

Except for the first few days, the French government imposed a ban on the news media, and all news was not reported. The French government has also sealed all the information for 100 years, and the archives will not be declassified until 2017.

In the first few days of reporting, Qin Zhiyuan's photos frequently made headlines in French newspapers along with Foch.

Foch has been described as: the man who had the power to pull France back from the edge of the precipice.

And Qin Zhiyuan was described as: the gendarme behind the commander of the French army.

The word "gendarmerie" clearly carries a special meaning, both the fear of the soldiers and the expectation of civilians to restore order, because of this, the negative press about the Foreign Legion is reduced to a minimum.

There was really no reason to demand more, for the 1st Division of the Foreign Legion was the only French unit still on the offensive.

On the second day of his departure for the 32nd Division, Qin Zhiyuan returned to Feronta de Noy.

The scouts organized an infiltration behind the German lines and found signs of movement among the Germans. After Foch received Qin Zhiyuan's report, he sent a reconnaissance plane to reconnoiter near Reims, and the reconnaissance plane confirmed the movement of the Germans, and the direction of the movement was Ferontadenoy, where the 1st Division of the Foreign Legion was located.

Qin Zhiyuan rushed back to organize the resistance, and Bastian Garcia's 32nd Division was in charge of support.

This was the only combat-ready force in Foch's hands at that time, all of which added up to less than 40,000 men, while the Germans on the opposite side moved six divisions with more than 100,000 troops.

The Germans are moving troops, and it's a bit hell of a thing.

In Germany, the military generals led by Hindenburg and Ludendorff and Chancellor Batemann were already on the same page, and Kaiser Wilhelm II slowly became a marginal man. As the crown prince, Crown Prince William, who is in charge of the defense of the Shermandedam area, must do something to bring the royal family back into the public eye and not be forgotten.

Therefore, an attack on France became the best option. Because Crown Prince Wilhelm had accurate information, the troops of the whole of France were currently in a civil unrest, and now was the best time to attack Paris.

Feron Tade Noy, just between Shermandedam and Paris.

Behind Shermandedam was Reims, the target of Nivielle's spring offensive. Behind Ferontade Noy is Paris, which is the goal of all Germans.

Foch did everything he could to create favorable conditions for Qin Zhiyuan, and another batch of advanced weapons was added to Qin Zhiyuan's troops, this time artillery, 194 mm caliber self-propelled guns that had just left the factory.

That's right, it's self-propelled artillery, the war has given rise to the rapid development of science and technology, airplanes and tanks have appeared, and they have been successfully used on the battlefield to show their might, and now, it is the turn of self-propelled artillery.

The idea of combining artillery and automobiles was not Qin Zhiyuan's first creation, as early as 1914, the Russians moved an anti-aircraft gun to a car and became the prototype of self-propelled artillery.

The production capacity of the French was still good, especially when all the French troops were asking for food supplies, and only the 1st Division of the Foreign Legion asked for weapons, so the Foreign Legion got weapons, even much more than expected.

There were 20 self-propelled guns in this batch, and 80 tanks arrived at the same time, this batch of tanks was a modification of the FT-17, the main improvement was the addition of a side-by-side machine gun with 2000 rounds, which could be used against targets that were not worthy of using artillery.

Coupled with the heavy weapons he was equipped with before, Qin Zhiyuan suddenly discovered that the first division now has 80 large-caliber guns with a caliber of more than 120 mm, which are enough to set up a special heavy artillery brigade. The 1st Division at once had 300 tanks, which could form an armored brigade. At the same time, the first division had more than 300 cars and more than 100 three-wheeled vehicles.

It can be said that the 1st Division is now a standard mechanized mixed division, and it is also the kind that is supernumerated.

Along with these weapons arrived in Ferontadenoy were five thousand soldiers, more than three thousand Chinese, and the rest were the ascetics who had joined the First Division during this time.

The benefits of Qin Zhiyuan's relationship with the Knights Templar are gradually emerging, and during this time, more and more Knights Templar fans have defected to Qin Zhiyuan, almost hundreds of people every day.

Not all of these men were martial artists, many of them could be called well-educated, and while many more were proficient in the Bible, many of them were scholars, professors, and even scientists.

Qin Zhiyuan's arrangement for these people is very simple, those who have research ability all join various laboratories, and those who do not have research ability all join the army and send them to the battlefield, as for whether God really blesses them, then it is up to fate.

Qin Zhiyuan is still very clear about the influence of religion.

Therefore, Qin Zhiyuan did not dare to let these fanatical religious figures get too close to the ordinary soldiers of the First Division. However, it is not a good idea to forcibly isolate them, the first division is a whole, and everyone should be inseparable from each other, just like when the Chinese soldiers and the French nurses get along now, this will definitely require a process, and how to balance it still needs Qin Zhiyuan to explore.

For the time being, these foreign soldiers are organized into a separate regiment, which is directly subordinate to Qin Zhiyuan, and how they will be placed in the future will be discussed later, at least after the battle in front of them is over.

At the beginning of May, the German Seventh Army, also known as Crown Prince Wilhelm's Corps, stationed in Shermandedam, left its well-fortified positions and began to attack in the direction of Ferontadenuy, which was also the first time that the German army launched an active offensive on the Western Front since the Battle of Verdun.

This was also the first time that Qin Zhiyuan's troops were uprightly tested by the German Army, which was known as "the first in the world".
