323 Cooperation
Orange is orange born in Huainan, and orange is born in Huaibei.
Although this sentence is not entirely true, it illustrates a profound truth, and if it is to be explained, it is probably similar to the "theory of relativity".
This "theory of relativity" is not Einstein's, but rather that the correctness of an idea is not absolute, depending on what kind of reference you choose.
Just like what Maxim said, Qin Zhiyuan's method may be implemented in the Republic of China in the Far East, but in France, it is absolutely impossible to implement.
Because the population base of the two ethnic groups determines their different policy policies, one is to strive to increase the population, and the other is to work hard to migrate to release the pressure of survival.
That's why Qin Zhiyuan was able to successfully become a French citizen, so so many Chinese immigrants to Corsica would not cause unease among the French.
This is not the 21st century, and the concept of "nation" has only just appeared.
For thousands of years, there were no clear ethnic boundaries in Europe, and at most there were nationalities.
France is a very special case, and the country is generally very tolerant.
It is estimated that France does not have proverbs such as "if you are not of my race, your heart will be different", just like the French Foreign Legion, this force includes France's allies, Romanians, Norwegians, Icelanders, Chinese, Algerians, etc., as well as France's enemies, the Germans and Austria-Hungary.
Whoever they were, France would accept them if they were willing to play for France.
The same is true for colonies, as long as French colonies are willing to become members of the French Republic, France will accept them, regardless of whether they are in Asia or Africa.
Like Senegal in Africa, this country was once a French overseas territory, and all its inhabitants were once French citizens.
The same is true of France's attitude towards Algeria.
France wants Algeria to also become an overseas territory of France, to become a member of the French Republic. But the fetishism in Algeria itself was so strong that they firmly controlled the Algerian faith and refused to integrate with France, eventually turning the French idea into a flash in the pan.
The problem now is that the French believe that the beliefs of the Algerians do not matter, and that the colonial authorities will eventually make the Algerians yearn for the advanced civilization of France and assimilate the Algerians.
But the reality is that Algerian beliefs make them resist French assimilation, even if it seems that French culture is indeed more seductive.
Is this wishful thinking on the part of the French, or is it the complacency of the Algerians.
Qin Zhiyuan does not know.
Qin Zhiyuan's "freedom of religion" is to strip away the control of fetishism over the Algerian locals, first free the Algerians from religion, and then integrate with the French.
The idea was good, but it conflicted with the current French policy in Algeria, and in the end, Maxim did not dare to adopt Qin Zhiyuan's proposal.
Maxim also did not have the power to take, although Maxim was the governor, but in some ways, Maxim's power was not as great as that of Qin Zhiyuan, the commander-in-chief of the Foreign Legion. It can be said that Maxim, the governor, was only an executor in his own right, and without the approval of the Congress, Maxim could not do anything.
Relatively speaking, Qin Zhiyuan is much better, at least in Sidi Belle Abbas, Qin Zhiyuan can completely cover the sky with one hand.
Unlike other parts of Algeria, Sidi Belle Abbas is an expatriate headquarters, and the French government does not send civil affairs officials and security officials, and Qin Zhiyuan has the final say in everything here.
For a city that is equivalent to military control, how to govern it depends on the preference of the person with the highest military rank.
Fortunately, Qin Zhiyuan is not a pervert.
But this is not necessarily, I am afraid that in Lillard's eyes, Qin Zhiyuan is a pervert.
Lillard would think so, it was because he didn't know Qin Zhiyuan well enough, and soon, he would know the real Qin Zhiyuan.
After the airport was repaired, Qin Zhiyuan didn't have any more actions, because there were transport planes transporting supplies, and the gate of the legion headquarters was closed every day, and Sidi Bel Abbas was almost two worlds.
In the past few days, Qin Zhiyuan has learned that the women and children gathered outside the corps headquarters are not only those who come to vent their dissatisfaction because their lives have been disturbed, but also the families of the "rebels" who are serving prison sentences in France, and they demand the release of their husbands or sons and give them a complete family.
How is this possible, those who make mistakes will definitely be punished, and it is impossible to let people go after making a fuss, in which case the majesty of the law will be lost.
This is very troublesome, the women and children are asking for a result that the French government will never agree to, and neither side is willing to compromise, and it seems that the situation is a dead end.
Whether it is a dead knot or not, it needs to be dealt with by Qin Zhiyuan.
Qin Zhiyuan's way of dealing with it is also very simple, wait, wait for a suitable group to appear.
As mentioned earlier, the population composition in Algeria is very complex, and what Qin Zhiyuan wants to do is to make this composition more complicated.
The Foreign Legion, which was closed behind closed doors, did not interact with the locals, which had little impact on the Foreign Legion, and because of the lack of noise among the women and children, it became much quieter.
But for the inhabitants of Sidi Belle Abbas, life without the intervention of the Foreign Legion does not seem to be as wonderful as it seems.
First of all, without the Foreign Legion's procurement, life for the peasants became much more difficult.
Sidi Bel Abbas is surrounded by vineyards and orchards, and these farmers have long-term orders, and the impact on their lives will not be visible for a while, but for those who depend on dealing with the soldiers of the Foreign Legion for their livelihood, the closure of the Foreign Legion is their end.
As a result, the law and order in Sidi Bel Abbas became chaotic.
You know, Sidi Bel Abbas does not have a sheriff, and the law and order here is completely maintained by patrols of the Foreign Legion.
When the patrolling soldiers disappeared, there was room for some of the criminals, and almost suddenly, those who had no place to live began to riot, thefts were frequent, and fights became commonplace.
An embarrassing fact for Qin Zhiyuan is that the riots are more common among those who do not believe in fetishism, and the Algerians who believe in fetishism are indeed more self-disciplined and law-abiding because of the existence of religious rules.
It was only at this time that Qin Zhiyuan suddenly realized that he had made a mistake.
Qin Zhiyuan brought certain things that happened in the 21st century into this time and space, and when he looked at fetishism, he put on colored glasses with preconceived ideas.
Since you have discovered your mistakes, you must correct them in time.
So the gate of the Foreign Legion was reopened, although the barricade at the gate was not removed, but there were no soldiers behind the machine gun to operate, and Lillard Aishara, who had been begging to see Qin Zhiyuan for the past few days, finally entered the Foreign Legion headquarters again and got the opportunity to meet Qin Zhiyuan again.
"Hello, Azhara." Qin Zhiyuan, who understood it, chose to respect the other party's habits.
"Your Excellency, General, I salute you." Lillard Esshara reached out.
It's so good, it's a ball of harmony.
"Sit." Qin Zhiyuan motioned for Aishara to sit in the reception area.
Qin Zhiyuan's office is spacious and bright, and the reception area is also very North African style, with a unique shape of hand-woven rattan sofas, and a large root carving on the coffee table.
Mixia sent hand-ground coffee as usual, Qin Zhiyuan was used to it, and Aishara got up to take it and didn't forget to thank him.
"Your Excellency, first of all, I would like to apologize for my previous disrespect to you. I'm so sorry, but I was so rude. Aishara first reflected on herself.
"Let the past pass, I'm also responsible, because of my carelessness, which triggered everything." Qin Zhiyuan reciprocated the favor.
"That's not your fault, it's normal for you to not understand when you first arrive, and I shouldn't blame you for everything." Aishara seemed ready to take on all the responsibilities.
It's amazing that two people who didn't have a common language at all when they met last time could be so harmonious, and the power of time is so great.
This is actually very normal, the relationship between people is like a hedgehog in winter, they need to snuggle up to each other to keep warm, and at the same time they are afraid of being stabbed by each other's spikes, and it always takes a lot of effort to find a safe distance that can huddle together for warmth and not be stabbed by each other.
"Okay, that's all in the past, we should look to the future." Qin Zhiyuan has another deep meaning.
"Yes, we should look to the future." Aishara agrees with Qin Zhiyuan's opinion, unlike Qin Zhiyuan, who is "in Cao Ying's heart in Han", Aishara regards Sidi Bel Abbas as his home, and he will argue with Qin Zhiyuan in order to fight for a better living environment for his people, and he will never want Sidi Bel Abbas to fall into chaos.
"I thought about it carefully, and if it is obviously unfair to other ethnic groups to ask for a ban on alcohol in all public places, I will no longer insist on this request, but I ask you to limit the further proliferation of alcohol. At the same time, I would also like to ask you to resume the patrol system and maintain the law and order of Sidi Bel Abbas, after all, the current situation is something that we do not want to see. Aishara took a half-step back.
"Yes, I think you'll understand that I'm also an anti-alcoholic, and those unkempt guys have been duly punished." Qin Zhiyuan promised that as long as it was a reasonable request, Qin Zhiyuan would support it.
"That's just wonderful, Your Excellency, and you'll know later that Haggis is definitely not your enemy." Aishara was grateful.
Haggis, this is the Algerian term for the pro-French natives, as well as the indigenous people who joined the colonial army.
