When Pierre returned from Amiens, he brought good news.

Regarding the establishment of the 6th Regiment of the Foreign Legion, Foch agreed in principle that the 6th Regiment should be expanded into the 1st Brigade of the Foreign Legion, with the 6th and 7th Regiments and the 1st Artillery Regiment under its jurisdiction.

Then there is only one problem left in front of them, and the Sixth Regiment must have a record that matches it in order to block the mouth of the Youyou.

Before the 6th Regiment joined the Foreign Legion, there were five regiments in the Foreign Legion, of which the 2nd, 3rd and 4th regiments were all composed of Algerians, and according to their seniority and numbers, it was more than enough to form a brigade. The French military commanders of the three regiments also reported that they wanted to set up a brigade-sized unit to facilitate joint command. The French military, after a detailed study, did not agree to this proposal.

Now that the Sixth Regiment wants to establish the First Brigade, it is first necessary to use the battle record to block the criticism within the Foreign Legion, although Qin Zhiyuan has not gone to the headquarters of the Foreign Legion in Algeria to report, but the Sixth Regiment belongs to the Foreign Legion after all.

The 6th Regiment can have certain privileges, but it cannot jump out of the framework of the Foreign Legion.

When the 6th Regiment had unrivaled combat effectiveness, the expansion became a natural obligation, and even the headquarters of the Foreign Legion could only be resigned.

Therefore, what Qin Zhiyuan needs now is military merit.

As long as Qin Zhiyuan can lead his troops to break through the German positions in the Somme area, then Qin Zhiyuan will have indisputable military merits, after all, this is something that more than 1 million British and French troops have not done.

In the current Somme region, the total strength of the warring sides has exceeded 2 million men, with 86 divisions concentrated by the British and French forces and 67 divisions concentrated by the Germans. The five thousand people in Qin Zhiyuan's hands can play an extremely limited role.

It is precisely because of this limitation that Qin Zhiyuan is given more space.

When Qin Zhiyuan only had 5,000 people in his hands, Qin Zhiyuan would be able to break through the German defense line, if Qin Zhiyuan had 50,000 people in his hands, then what could he do?

It's a question that everyone thinks about.

If the troops want to attack, they must communicate with the French commander in advance in order to cooperate with each other more effectively, and Qin Zhiyuan handed over this task to Pierre to carry out. He himself, on the other hand, concentrated his energies on the preparations for the attack.

When it comes to preparations, it is impossible to bypass the logistics support of Qin Zhisheng's control. But when it comes to logistics, it is linked to Chen Kangjian.

Qin Zhiyuan still remembers that the first French sentence that Chen Kangjian wanted to learn was "how much is a night". I don't know if Huang Fugui has ever taught this sentence, anyway, Qin Zhiyuan has not taught it.

Chen Kangjian insisted that this product was self-taught, and when Ge Lifu and Liu Zizheng were busy with training all day long, Chen Kangjian had quietly solved his personal problems.

As mentioned above, although France at this time was not as extreme as the Germans, ordering all men over the age of 16 and under the age of 60 to join the reserves, it also recruited a large number of strong men to join the army and send them to the front.

As a result, in many French families, only orphans and widows remain. The living conditions of these orphans and widows are not optimistic, the men in the family are still alive, and the salary is mailed to the family every month, and the living conditions of those families with disabled soldiers or men who have died in the war are a bit miserable.

At this time, France also began to implement a rationing system, if you want enough daily necessities, you have to take a long time every day to queue up to buy, but using time to queue will squeeze working hours, so this is a dilemma.

This is already much stronger than the Germans, who can't buy it if they want to.

This circumstance gives some people a chance.

Chen Kangjian is a man with five big and three rough, such a person hates taking care of housekeeping the most, and for Chen Kangjian, washing clothes is the most troublesome thing.

The French had foreseen this, so they set up a laundry room in Kapi, where Chen Kangjian would send his clothes and bedding to be washed. Kapi's laundry was located in town, some distance from the camp of the 6th Regiment.

One day, on his way to the laundry room, Chen Kangjian saw a young French woman washing clothes in a house on the side of the road.

This French woman has a plump figure, plump breasts and fat buttocks, and she has a very good appetite for Chen Kangjian.

So Chen Kangjian walked into the house with the clothes to be washed in one hand and two boxes of military canned food in the other.

Three hours later, Chen Kangjian returned to the camp feeling refreshed.

The French did not shy away from the physical needs of the soldiers, and there were brothels set up by the French next to the military camp in Capi, which were used by all kinds of people to meet the needs of different people.

Qin Zhiyuan strictly stopped the act of soliciting prostitutes, and Qin Zhiyuan stipulated that if all the people of the Sixth Regiment dared to enter and leave the brothel, as long as they were found once, they would be immediately expelled from the army.

Qin Zhiyuan did this for a reason, at this time in France, according to relevant information, about 20 to 30 percent of civilians and soldiers suffer from syphilis, if Qin Zhiyuan does not strictly stop such incidents, it is conceivable that once someone is infected with syphilis, then in this era when penicillin has not yet been invented, there is basically no cure.

Penicillin......

More on that later.

But after all, the army is composed of a group of young people with strong blood, they have their own physiological needs, which are human nature and cannot be extinguished, so if you want to solve physical problems, you need to find another way.

Chen Kangjian's approach made a good start, and soon, many Chinese soldiers were accustomed to going in and out of local civilian homes in France, and the reason is self-evident.

Kapi is just a small town after all, and there are not many inhabitants in the town, and there are many soldiers around the town, and there are many wolves and few meats. Finally, one day, while going to his lover's house, Chen Kangjian met two French soldiers. So, a brawl broke out out out of nowhere.

Chen Kangjian is a serious north-legged descendant, and the fight was like a devastating one, and the two Frenchmen were kicked out of the hospital before they could start the fight.

This is French territory, and the French are bullied on French soil, and they absolutely can't bear it, so two Frenchmen went back and called a class.

After a squad came over, it still didn't get a good deal, and one by one the beaten people went back and continued to call people, this time calling a platoon.

Chen Kangjian also sent someone back to the camp early to move troops, but when the French soldiers of this platoon arrived, waiting for them was a squad of martial arts masters.

When the French came for the fourth time, a major led the group and brought a company with loaded guns.

When things got to this point, it was not something that Chen Kangjian could handle, so Qin Zhiyuan got a report.

When Qin Zhiyuan arrived at the scene.

The French had already surrounded the home of Chen Kangjian's lover, and the French not only carried light weapons, but also brought in four heavy machine guns from trucks, the muzzles of which were pointed at the closed door, and at the first order, 8x50 mm Lebel bullets could tear the entire house apart.

"Listen, people inside, you are already surrounded, come out and kneel and surrender immediately, otherwise what awaits you will be destruction, and you only have the last five minutes ......"

The loudspeaker on the truck kept playing the ultimatum, but unfortunately it didn't have much effect, and with the French level of Chen Kangjian and others, they might not be able to understand this aria-like persuasion.

Qin Zhiyuan was very helpless, but he was simply jealous, as for such a big formation?
