As an important part of the Entente, the Russians took on the war on the Eastern Front almost alone. This greatly relieved the pressure on Britain and France, and if the Russians had not dispersed the Germans, perhaps the war would have ended in 1915.www.biquge.info

The roots of Russia's problems lie in the weak Tsar, and in his strong and neurotic Empress.

General Henry Wilson, a senior officer of the British General Staff, visited Russia at Christmas, and Wilson reported to Parliament upon his return that everyone in Russia, whether it was an officer, a merchant, a nobleman, or even a woman, was talking about how to kill their Tsars and Empresses.

Tsar Nikolai was tired and lonely, he did not want to listen to anyone but the Empress, and he had lost the ability to control the situation. At the most critical moment, Nikolai chose to escape, and for the whole winter he lived in the imperial estate in the countryside of St. Petersburg, without seeing anyone, including his empress Alexandra and his children.

When it was most necessary to turn the tide, Nikolai chose to believe in Alexander Protopopov, which is another tragedy. Protopopov is a clown-like figure who has no abilities and only uses rhetoric to blind Nikolai, and he will even kneel before Queen Alexandra, claiming that he sees Jesus right behind Alexandra.

Protopopov was best at juggling, and Nikolai pinned all his hopes on this character who was only worthy of a burlesque when Russia was at its most critical.

What happened in Russia was not directly related to Qin Zhiyuan, but it indirectly helped Qin Zhiyuan, making people focus their attention on distant St. Petersburg, thus ignoring everything that happened on the island of Corsica.

This must be a good thing, Qin Zhiyuan can rest assured and boldly implement the plan step by step according to his own will.

First, the peasants scattered in the mountains were gathered in Ajaccio, and Qin Zhiyuan allocated a house to each peasant family, and then gave them 500 francs and promised. If these farmers are willing to relocate to mainland France, Qin Zhiyuan will give each peasant family a subsidy of 1,500 francs.

2,000 francs, a tempting figure, is enough for a family of five to live in mainland France for two years. What's more, along with this, there is also a certain amount of livestock and land, which is even more tempting. When Qin Zhiyuan came, Poincaré gave Qin Zhiyuan 500,000 francs, which was certainly not enough for Qin Zhiyuan to resettle the nearly 2,000 households on the island. Qin Zhiyuan made up for it by himself, and finally made a big cake.

It seems much better to live on French soil than on the resource-poor island of Corsica.

At least mainland France is the mainland, and the islanders' desire for the mainland is incomprehensible to others.

When you think about Japan, they have gone crazy with their yearning for the mainland, and the whole country is in a state of madness and conjecture.

The same is true of the British, who are isolated from the continent and would have fared even worse than the Japanese if they had not now had a vast colony.

Perhaps it is precisely because the British understand the aspirations of the Japanese. So the British and the Japanese secretly formed an alliance, and this alliance lasted for decades, until before World War II.

As a mainland resident, Qin Zhiyuan did not have so much desire for land, and the reason why he sought Corsica was because Qin Zhiyuan needed a stable base, a solid rear, which was fundamentally different from the sinister British and the greedy Japanese.

When some of the peasants agreed to move to the mainland, some were unwilling to move away, so Qin Zhiyuan issued the next order. He organized the inhabitants of Ajaccio into groups of 20 households, along with farmers who had relocated from the mountains. As long as one household is unwilling to move out, Qin Zhiyuan will suspend all the relocation of this group.

This move was extremely destructive, and this was the experience that Qin Zhiyuan drew from the example of a certain large country in another time and space demolishing an urban village. When Qin Zhiyuan announced this order, the contradiction shifted. From the contradiction between the First Brigade and the inhabitants of Corsica, to the contradiction between those who are willing to move and those who are not.

As a result, residents who did not want to move away were besieged by those who were eager to move to a new life, and the 1st Brigade was transformed into an enforcer of order.

Not everything was smooth sailing, either, on a given day in mid-January. Eric and his group were attacked in the Paektu Mountains, Eric escaped, his team was killed and wounded, and when the soldiers of the 1st Brigade were reported to the scene, the corpse left at the scene had a note with the words "Fate of the traitor" written on it.

Eric's incident occurred when they went to the Balektu Mountains to persuade a peasant family who had not yet moved to Ajaccio. Mt. Baektu is a large mountain near Ajaccio, and because of its high altitude, the summit of this mountain is covered with snow all year round, so it is called "Mt. Baekdu".

Since Eric is now working for Qin Zhiyuan, Qin Zhiyuan should support Eric, so Qin Zhiyuan must investigate this matter.

The next day, Qin Zhiyuan transferred Jin Tae-ho from Bastia, and Hu Tingfeng and Kim Tae-ho were jointly responsible for this matter.

Qin Zhiyuan has only one request, everyone must be brought to justice, whether they are dead or alive.

It should be noted that Qin Zhiyuan used all "people", not all "criminals".

By this time, the second group of troops of the 1st Brigade had arrived in Bastia, led by Griff and Liu Zizheng. Perhaps because Qin Zhiyuan was notorious, Grace and the others landed very smoothly, and then successfully implemented Qin Zhiyuan's plan, almost without encountering resistance.

At the same time, the third group of personnel also arrived in Ajaccio, this group of people was composed of women and children led by Mary, and also a group of little guys such as Girardin who Qin Zhiyuan left in the Black Swan Castle.

Mary and the others were placed in Ajaccio by Qin Zhiyuan, and Qin Zhiyuan set aside a block dedicated to housing families related to the First Brigade. Mary and they have a special mission, and they will be part of Ajaccio from now on, acting as Qin Zhiyuan's spokesperson to some extent.

Qin Zhiyuan's orphanage plan is progressing smoothly, and in less than a month, nearly a thousand children have entered the Black Swan Castle, which is already overwhelmed and must be separated from some people in order to continue to accept a steady stream of children.

And that's just Paris, and if you expand the scope to the whole of France, you don't know how many times the size of the orphanage will be.

More than 500 children arrived in Ajaccio with Girardin and were housed in the barracks where the First Brigade was stationed. The original name of this military camp was "Artillery School Corner", perhaps because Napoleon once opened an artillery school here, but Qin Zhiyuan gave her a new name, called "Thunder Cliff".

Well, Thunder Bluff has nothing to do with World of Warcraft, and like Poseidon's Trident, Thunder is the weapon of Zeus in Greek mythology.
