Chapter 48: Sprout
(Thank you Breakerhammer for the tip, thank you for the encouragement.) )
At noon that day, a table was set up at the door of the camp of the Sixth Regiment, and the big sign next to the table read three big characters "Recruitment Office".
"This master, what are you doing here?" A Chinese worker in a worker's uniform had the courage to come over and ask.
"Conscription, we are the 6th Regiment of the French Foreign Legion, which is the unit of our Chinese workers, helping the French to fight." Huang Fugui saw that someone came to ask, and immediately came and gushed in spirit: "See, the clothes on our bodies, the military helmet on our heads, the cowhide belt around our waists, and the big scalp shoes on our feet are no different from foreigners. ”
"Shhh...... So good, huh? ”
"Sounds good!"
"What are the conditions?"
Some people are impressed.
"Being a soldier? Don't do it, don't do it. ”
"That's going to be desperate."
"No, look at the team last night, that's a miserable one."
Some people abandon it like a shoe.
"The benefits don't stop there. After entering our sixth regiment, the daily salary of ten francs a day is 300 francs per month, which is more than 200 oceans, half of which is paid to myself and half to my family. And we don't have to hand over the things we seized in the war to the foreigners, they are all our own, look at this, this is what was handed over from the hands of the foreigners. Huang Fugui wore at least eight gold rings on his ten fingers, and two of them were also inlaid with gems the size of pigeon's eggs, these rings were seized by Chen Kangjian and them, Huang Fugui just borrowed them, and he had to return them after flickering.
"Shhh...... And this good thing? ”
"It's not copper!"
"Do you have a copper hammer at home? Simpleton! ”
"Your uncle, are you only half-cooked?"
The Chinese people's good-looking and lively habits attacked, and soon surrounded a circle of people, and the two of them listened to the accent as if they were about to tear up in Tengxian County, Shandong.
"Hey, no crowds, no loud noises, are you done with your work?" Seeing that there was a noise here, two French soldiers on patrol came to stop it.
The foreigners were still very intimidating, seeing that a foreigner came to reprimand, the Chinese workers were silent, and they were timid and wanted to sneak away.
"Hi, I'm working, I'm explaining to them our Legion treatment, please don't get in the way of my work, okay?" Huang Fugui got up and reasoned loudly, putting on a posture of a hen protecting her chicks.
"Oh...... Well, you're being treated very well. When the two French soldiers saw Huang Fugui in military uniform, their arrogance was obviously weakened by three points, and they made a gesture of "please take care of yourself", and then turned to leave.
"See, this is the biggest advantage of joining our sixth regiment, we are not bullied by foreigners, foreigners can't control us, we have to be respectful." Huang Fugui seized the opportunity to begin to publicize the social status of the Sixth Regiment.
The Chinese workers looked at each other, with the example of the right talent, they couldn't believe it, it didn't matter how much money they earned, they couldn't bear it if they were called and drunk like grandsons, and immediately some Chinese workers stood up: "Count me in, Lao Tzu wants to be a soldier, and I won't be affected by this kind of nest anymore." ”
"Count me in!"
"And me!"
Chinese people not only love to watch the excitement, but also love to join in the excitement, as long as someone takes the lead, they will immediately follow the clouds.
In a corner that was not noticed, Chen Kangjian stammered French and stammered French to stuff rings into the hands of two French soldiers, one for each of them, impartially.
The few people who were about to fight in the crowd just now, that is, the few people who took the lead in the soldiers later, saw Huang Fugui being overwhelmed by the crowd that asked to join the Sixth Regiment, squeezing out the crowd without a trace, and then continued to wander around.
That's right, those two French soldiers, and these people are commonly known as "Tuo", such a shameless idea, of course, Chen Kangjian and Huang Fugui came up with it.
In the afternoon, as the head of the Sixth Regiment, Qin Zhiyuan also showed what it means to be "shameless".
The camp where the Chinese live, next to a small pond, is rich in aquatic plants and mosquitoes and flies at night. Next to the camp is the temporary cemetery of the French soldiers who died in battle, because the tombs are always insufficient, there is construction day and night, so when the Chinese rest at night, the quality of sleep is not very good.
Therefore, Qin Zhiyuan personally went to find Falkao, and after exchanging feelings with a ruby, Falcao made arrangements, and the Chinese camp was changed to a hillside not far away, where there was originally a camp for Indian laborers.
Since you are going to move, you must clean up. On Falco's orders, the Indians had to pack up their things, then clean the camp and wait for the 6th Regiment to move in.
While the Indian laborers were cleaning, the soldiers of the 6th Regiment were receiving weapons and equipment, and with the cooperation of Falco, the entire army of the 6th Regiment was replaced with a full set of German-style weapons, including 24 MG08 heavy machine guns and 36 MG08/15 light machine guns.
"Qin, you are too greedy, you only have less than 500 people on the roster now, but you actually have to equip 60 machine guns, I doubt that you have enough manpower to use them." In the warehouse, for Qin Zhiyuan's greed, Falcao did not stop in the slightest.
Prior to this, Falcao had received a telegram from General Mishelet to solve the problem of armament for the 6th Foreign Legion. In other words, as long as Qin Zhiyuan likes it, Falcao will give it. Of course, Falcao cooperated so much, and Qin Zhiyuan thought that it was mostly because of that ruby. If there is no ruby, it will not be possible to cooperate with Erkao, and he will not take the initiative to open the door of the warehouse for Qin Zhiyuan to choose.
"It's not enough, Falcao." After repeated efforts to pull the relationship, the two of them took what they needed, Qin Zhiyuan and Falcao were already quite familiar: "Look, my troops don't even have a single cannon now, this is very inappropriate, do me a favor, help me get a few guns, what do you think?" ”
For artillery, Qin Zhiyuan has long been salivating, if there is no artillery of its own, the sixth regiment can only be beaten passively, unable to exert strong combat effectiveness.
"Artillery? No, no, no, there are no ones on the list, and I can't give them to you. "The French are still very strict about the control of the Foreign Legion, and Falcao can't do anything about artillery.
"You have a way, do me a favor." Qin Zhiyuan said, and handed over another piece of emerald.
"Uh......" Falcao looked at the emerald in Qin Zhiyuan's hand sluggishly, his Adam's apple squirmed, and he didn't dare to reach out if he wanted to take it.
"Beautiful, isn't it? It is best dedicated to one's mother or wife if it is set in a ring...... It's a bit big, but if it's set in a necklace, then it fits perfectly. Qin Zhiyuan's voice was full of seduction, and he instantly turned into the snake in the Garden of Eden.
"Alright, alright, alright, you devil, this is the last time I'll want you to compromise. Go next door, next door there are twelve 75 ladies who just sent over yesterday, you can take half of them. Falcao was still dazzled by the emerald.
"Thank you very much." Qin Zhiyuan turned out and walked out of the warehouse, and suddenly saw Mixia looking at him angrily.
Mi Xia looked angry, and silently made a "bastard" to Qin Zhiyuan! The shape of the mouth.
"Misha, is there something wrong with me?" Qin Zhiyuan smiled brightly.
