Qin Zhiyuan's accession to French nationality is inadvertently in line with the consistent tradition of the Foreign Legion.

Within the French Foreign Legion, regardless of the country from which the soldiers came, the military commander was always French.

The establishment of the Chinese army was somewhat accidental, and at that time, the French War Department had not yet had time to appoint a commander, so Qin Zhiyuan could only temporarily serve as the military commander.

Unexpectedly, Qin Zhiyuan became famous on the battlefield, and the reputation of "Angel" spread throughout half of Europe at that time, and the change of commander ended in nothing.

As the war deepened, the Chinese troops achieved brilliant results, and Qin Zhiyuan also joined the French nationality.

"This expansion may add some Annan people to you, how about it?" It seems that Pierre stayed at home for a few days and found out a lot of news.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you give it, I don't pick people on my side, I will use anyone I give me the same." Qin Zhiyuan's requirements for the source of soldiers are really not high.

The success of the Chinese troops is of great practical significance, since the Chinese troops can succeed in France, why can't the Annamite people?

As a part of French Indochina at this time, Annam actually had much more people in France than the Chinese, and because Annam was a French colony, the French treated the Annamites far worse than the Chinese.

"It seems that the relationship between the Annan people and you Chinese is really good, those Annan people have received nearly half a year of training, and the basic subjects have been completed, they only have one requirement before going to the battlefield, that is, to designate you as their commander, it seems that you are really the overlord of the East from the Far East." Pierre teased casually.

At the end of last year, the French organized more than 50,000 Annamite people to form a unit that has been trained in the rear, and now it seems that the time has come for the Annamite to replace the Chinese as cannon fodder.

"Let's accumulate some virtue, don't be a Chinese at every turn, I'm also French now." Qin Zhiyuan looked at Pierre's ill intentions, and suddenly burst out with a sentence: "Anyway, since you are my personal knight, should you follow me to join the Republic of China nationality?" ”

This one...... It seems to be a matter of course.

"Aha, I knew you would say that sooner or later, I've already been to your embassy, and their reply is no." Pierre really thought about it.

"Can't do it? Why? Qin Zhiyuan couldn't figure it out.

"No, I asked if I could join the Republic of China nationality, and the initial reply was yes, and then when I knew that my surname was 'Foch', yes became no." Pierre's face was expressionless, and he couldn't say what it felt.

Qin Zhiyuan suddenly understood why, this was the inexplicable psychology of "thinking twice when encountering trouble".

If Pierre is an ordinary person, then joining the Republic of China is a great joy for all, which proves that the Republic of China is also a desirable country, and can also show the friendship and friendship between the two countries.

But if the son of the commander-in-chief of the French army wants to become a citizen of the Republic of China, then it is very intriguing. What are Pierre's intentions? What position should Pierre put in? How to deal with the relationship between Pierre and the Chinese troops, etc., etc., etc.

This person, you can't think too much, if you think too much, you will be "afraid of wolves and tigers", Xiucai rebelled for three years and didn't come about like this.

Pierre said this with a bit of sarcasm, but also a little self-deprecation.

This may have been the first time that Pierre had felt "discrimination" as a Frenchman.

Uh, it's not a pleasant experience.

The delightful experience had to be found on his own, so when he met Mischa again, Pierre regained his fighting spirit and launched another round of offensive against Misha.

When Qin Zhiyuan and Julie were not engaged, Pierre once pursued Misha, but at that time, Micha had a heart, and Pierre's love flower had withered before it bloomed.

Now that Qin Zhiyuan has become a "married man", Pierre feels that his opportunity has finally come, so the heart that was once dead is ready to move again.

Watching Pierre chase Misha away, Qin Zhiyuan shook his head and focused on the telegram sent by Zhang Tianshou.

Zhang Tianshou has arrived in Borneo, and judging from the telegram sent by Zhang Tianshou, the situation in Borneo is even worse than Qin Zhiyuan expected.

Borneo in a broad sense refers to the entire Dutch East Indies, which later became Indonesia. Borneo in the narrow sense refers to the island of Kalimantan, which covers an area of 740,000 square kilometers and is the third largest island in the world.

Semarang, where Wong Bohan is located, is located in the middle of the island of Java, across the sea from Borneo.

Since the Dutch ruled Borneo, they have suppressed the local Chinese as a whole, and have sowed discord between the Chinese and the locals, using the locals to balance the Chinese, leaving the Chinese in a situation of isolation and helplessness.

Huang estimates that there are between 800,000 and 1 million Chinese in Borneo and about 6 million in Southeast Asia. Among them, there are not only descendants of overseas Chinese who immigrated to Southeast Asia in the early years, but also indentured Chinese laborers from Southeast Asia imported since the 20th century.

It is said that with the 1 million Chinese in Borneo alone, it is effortless to pull up a team of 35,000 people, but the facts have given Zhang Tianshou a blow to the head.

After returning to Semarang with Huang Bohan and Huang Jinsheng, Zhang Tianshou and his deputy Qin Haoge immediately organized local Chinese to join the action team of the "Umbrella" company, and began military training using the weapons they brought back to Borneo.

But I never expected that except for a few people of insight such as Guo Shenglong and **** Mao, more overseas Chinese chose not to join the "umbrella", and would rather live a mixed life than send the children of the family to join the "umbrella" company.

According to the words of those short-sighted Chinese: 35,000 people may not be a big deal, even if it is because the Netherlands, Britain and other countries are busy with the European war and have no time to take care of Borneo's arrogance, and when the Dutch and British return to Southeast Asia, the small thousands of people will be mantis arms after all.

Is it hateful?

Hateful!

Is it pathetic?

Lamentable!

Qin Zhiyuan was not surprised by this situation. Because Qin Zhiyuan knew that it was not that these overseas Chinese did not want to rebel against the Dutch, but that the courage to resist had been exhausted in the massacres again and again, and the overseas Chinese who had no way to help were afraid of being killed.

It cannot be said that the Chinese in Borneo did not make efforts, they once established a republic and united to deal with the oppression of the Dutch and the provocation of the natives, but in the end because the organization was too scattered, they were broken by the Dutch individually.

The attitude of the Dutch towards the Chinese is like cutting leeks, every time a certain generation of Chinese is about to take root and bear fruit, the Dutch will launch a massacre, slaughter all these Chinese who are about to take root in the local area, and then recruit them from the country.

The population of the Han nationality is very large, to the extent that it is one-fifth of the world, so there are always some Chinese scum who have forgotten their ancestors, and will choose to cooperate with the Dutch and return to China to continue to pull people and boost the economy of Borneo.

Who is to blame?

Manchu?

Beiyang government?

Perhaps everyone in this day and age is responsible.
