Foch, the little old man, is actually quite interesting. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because of Julie, Foch and Qin Zhiyuan have a very good relationship, according to Chinese tradition, Qin Zhiyuan took Foch as his father.

Foch's serious job is the general adviser of Lanfang's military affairs, this job is actually very easy, just take a look when you think of it, and it doesn't matter if you don't think about it.

Qin Zhiyuan just wanted Fuch to do something so that he wouldn't be idle all day, in that case, Foch's body would soon have problems.

However, Foch is obviously not a person who only takes money and does not do things, and immediately after coming to Lanfang, he asked Qin Zhiyuan for a plane, and began to travel around Lanfang......

Well, it's not a tour, Foch is inspecting.

Not to mention, Foch's prestige in Lanfang's army is almost no less than that of Qin Zhiyuan, you must know that Foch is the real commander-in-chief of the Entente, and he was awarded the rank of marshal by France and Belgium, such an achievement is not something that ordinary people can achieve.

It can be said that the Foreign Legion soldiers in Europe at the beginning were all Foch's subordinates, so Foch has countless fans in Lanfang.

Almost everywhere he went, Foch was warmly welcomed by the soldiers, and Foch himself was not seen, no matter what he saw was irregular, what should be pointed out, what should be criticized and criticized, without the slightest politeness.

The officers and soldiers are naturally obedient, there is no way, what people say makes sense.

Foch can be said to have been a soldier all his life, and he has been in the army all his life, and he knows all kinds of small problems in the barracks.

In the past, when he was in France, Foch saw many things, but he could only look at them, and Foch was powerless even if he had the heart to correct them, because the French army had centuries-old traditions, and those traditions were deeply rooted and could not be shaken by Foch.

And the current Lanfang army is a blank slate for Foch, the Lanfang army has no traditions, Foch has enough authority here, so Foch can shape Lanfang into the perfect army in Foch's mind as he likes.

Foch is a slightly conservative person, although the requirements in life are not too high, and he is a little raunchy, but he has extremely high requirements for military appearance and style, and places great emphasis on the sense of hierarchy between superiors and subordinates.

At the same time, Foch believed that the army should have a noble demeanor, a strong and fearless style, and at the same time should have the mercy of the strong for the weak, and a fearless spirit of giving up others.

So this made it bitter to those officers and soldiers who wanted to shoot Foch's ass.

Foch himself loves to be clean, well, all the barracks must be cleaned every day, the internal affairs of the soldiers must be of high standards and strict requirements, everything must be placed neatly and orderly, even the handle of the cup must be oriented to the same direction of the toothbrush, and the quilt must be folded into neat tofu blocks, and it is not allowed to be loosely piled on the bed.

Although Foch himself is unkempt, he hates others being unkempt the most, so well, all the soldiers of Lanfang are not allowed to grow beards, all soldiers must take a bath every day, their clothes must be changed every day, the collar and cuffs of their shirts are not allowed to have any dirt, even if the weather is hot to 37 degrees Celsius, they must be buttoned up.

Foch attaches great importance to the hierarchy system, so the hierarchy in Lan Fang's army is strict, and it is not just a matter of crushing people to death at the senior level, and the lower-level officers and soldiers must absolutely obey the order when facing the higher-ranking commander, if the commander gives an order, even if there is an abyss and a minefield in front of them, they must move forward bravely.

Foch believed that the army should have mercy for the weak by the strong, so Lanfang's soldiers would participate in social public services as much as possible in addition to training, although they would not help people near the station to sweep the yard and carry water, but they must also respond to people's requests, and if they were reasonable requests, then they were not allowed to refuse.

After doing this for half a year, Lan Fang's soldiers found that the image of the soldiers had changed dramatically compared with before.

The previous Lanfang army, what do you say......

Although he is brave and good at fighting, he always feels that he is not atmospheric enough, and he does not have the brilliant righteousness of the king's army.

Now it's different, the current Lanfang soldiers, although they have to raise their chin slightly when looking at people because the brim of their hats is relatively low, they look a little arrogant, but they basically respond to the requirements of the people, which makes the people more supportive of the soldiers, and also makes the relationship between the military and the people more harmonious.

In the past, in Lanfang, the people were keen to join the army because of all kinds of benefits, but in the past six months, the focus of the people's attention has gradually shifted from welfare to image, and being a soldier has become a more fashionable word for the first time in the Chinese world, which is really unexpected.

At the same time, because of the improvement of military appearance and military discipline, the current Lanfang army looks more neat, more enviable, and more powerful, and more steady.

At the same time, because of the harmonious relationship between the military and the people, the idea that Lanfang soldiers will take "protecting the family and defending the country" as their own responsibility is gradually winning universal recognition, which is what the Lanfang military department values most.

An army that has never had faith, even if it is a temporary burst of combat effectiveness, but over time, the combat effectiveness of this army cannot be maintained.

Only with firm conviction can the army have strong combat effectiveness.

Think about PLA in another time and space, although their weapons are rudimentary, although they are in a difficult situation, they have never given up their ideals, and finally won the War of Resistance against Japan, won the War of Liberation, and resisted the United **** without falling behind, how powerful this is.

Qin Zhiyuan wanted to build an army in this time and space that had the same beliefs as PLA, so that Lan Fang would always be invincible.

Of course, limited by objective conditions, Qin Zhiyuan will not use the idea of "ism" to the armed forces, but will use the concept of "people's soldiers" to strengthen the ideological and political education of the Lanfang army.

That's right, there is no doubt about this, ideological and political education is not unique to PLA in another time and space, but a method that is widely practiced all over the world, and even the world hegemon US imperialism has never relaxed ideological and political education, and in some respects, it is even stricter than the requirements of PLA.

Qin Zhiyuan should also strengthen ideological education, arm the Lanfang soldiers with the idea of "people's soldiers", let them have firm beliefs, and serve Lanfang wholeheartedly.

In fact, speaking of which, Lan Fang's soldiers were originally Lan Fang's disciples, this is not a fake big empty, but a fact.

Long before Lan Fong was founded, the Foreign Legion began to mobilize the families of the Foreign Legion to emigrate, first to Corsica and then to the Dutch East Indies.

Qin Zhiyuan originally wanted to carry out a "peaceful evolution" in the Dutch East Indies, but he didn't expect the Dutch to be so indifferent, just a few months of effort, the Dutch were driven out of the Dutch East Indies by a group of farmers trained by the Foreign Legion for several months, and Lan Fang was born in this chaos.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, in addition to the local Chinese and overseas Chinese in Lanfang, the families of the Foreign Legion who immigrated from the Republic of China were the families of the Foreign Legion, so there is no doubt that the soldiers of Lanfang are the real "people's soldiers".

Qin Zhiyuan wants to use the military and civilian conditions of the "people's soldiers" to awaken the hearts of the soldiers to protect their families and defend the country, so that Lanfang's soldiers can wholeheartedly defend the hard-won happy life of their relatives, so that Lanfang's army will burst out with strong combat effectiveness.

I'm afraid that even Foch himself didn't expect that his various strict requirements would cause this unexpected joy now.

While doing his best to improve the quality of Lanfang's soldiers, Foch did not relax the construction of Lanfang's officer echelon.

Foch himself has a huge reputation in France, and after decades in the army, Foch's protégés are all over France, some of whom are well mixed and are currently in high positions in the French army; Some people are more frustrated and are at a low ebb in their military careers.

Foch used his connections throughout the French army to hire hundreds of career officers from France to join Lanfang's army as military advisers.

These military advisers are widely present in the general staff of various armies, and they have played an important role in the regularization process of Lanfang's army, and it can be said that without these people, the regularization of Lanfang's army would not have been so smooth and would not have achieved the current effect.

At the same time as arranging career officers from France to enter the General Staff, Foch established the Army Academy and the Naval Academy in Sanfa City, Wanghai Prefecture, to train Lan Fang to truly belong to his own officer echelon.

This initiative was strongly supported by Qin Zhiyuan, so under Qin Zhiyuan's intervention, the Army Academy was divided into an infantry academy and an artillery academy, and the Air Force Academy and an armored academy were added.

In fact, as early as the Corsica period, Qin Zhiyuan set up a military academy, but that school was more similar to a short-term training course and could not really train officers from a professional class, which has always been the biggest regret in Qin Zhiyuan's heart.

Well, now, with Foch's help, Lanfang's military academy was established very smoothly and had a fairly high starting point from the beginning.

To tell the truth, although the Foreign Legion does not look down on the combat effectiveness of the French army, it has to admit that the French army has its own unique ideas in some aspects.

For example, artillery, the French army has the best artillery in the world now.

Long before the outbreak of the World War, the French army attached great importance to the training of artillery, Foch, Leoté, Pétain, and even Nivelle, who had faded from the public eye, all of them were artillerymen.

At the beginning of the world war, the artillery construction of the French army entered a misunderstanding, and small-caliber rapid-fire guns became the main artillery of the French army, and little attention was paid to large-caliber heavy artillery.

After all, the French have a foundation, and when they found themselves in the actual war that they had gone into a misunderstanding, the French reflected in time and began to attach importance to heavy artillery.

By the end of the World War, in almost all the battles that took place on the Western Front, the French troops had always appeared as artillery, and their heavy artillery played a huge role in the war, posing a far greater threat to the Germans than the threat posed by the German artillery to the Allied forces.

Well, no matter how the French army declines, they always have something to offer, and Qin Zhiyuan just wants to learn from others' strengths and make up for his own shortcomings.
