Chapter 74: Dignity
(PS: Ask for collections, ask for recommendations, ask for comments, don't ask for money, don't work hard, your encouragement is the greatest encouragement for writers.) )
War has caused a long history of damage to civilians, and although countries have compensated such families to some extent, they cannot erase the pain of losing loved ones.
Mary's tragedy is not an isolated case, but a microcosm of this era.
For a tragedy like Mary, Qin Zhiyuan couldn't do anything. What Qin Zhiyuan can do is to minimize the occurrence of such tragedies.
"Don't worry, Chen Kangjian will not be punished for this. On the contrary, I think he did a good deed, so I will reward him. Qin Zhiyuan comforted softly, he wanted to find a way to help Mary as much as possible.
"Really?" Mary was surprised, not daring to confirm what Qin Zhiyuan meant.
"Really! You'd better believe what our head said. Chen Kangjian said, reaching out and pulling Mary up from the ground. Judging from the movements, there is not much meaning of tenderness.
"That's great!" Mary burst into tears and laughed, keeping Chen Kangjian from kissing him heavily.
"You crazy woman, can you stop?" Chen Kangjian was not accustomed to this kind of wild expression, and his face was slightly red and he reprimanded sharply.
"I think that only testing other people's charity is not necessarily what you are willing to accept." Qin Zhiyuan remembered the reason why Chen Kangjian and Mary got acquainted, and had an idea in his heart.
"Of course, I don't want to, but what can I do?" Mary's face darkened, and no one was willing to accept handouts like a beggar if she could.
"You should know how to do laundry, right? Clothes, sheets, duvet covers, bandages, etc., even sewing and mending. These jobs are all women's specialties, and Qin Zhiyuan thinks that Mary should be no stranger.
"Of course, I will! I can do laundry, I can sew clothes, I even cut them, and I basically make the clothes in our house. Mary seemed to think of something, but she wasn't sure.
"That's great, if you can find 30 or 40 people, I think you might be able to work with us. You help us with the laundry, sewing and mending. And what do you think of me paying you cash, food, clothing, or whatever? This is the best way Qin Zhiyuan can get along.
The 6th Regiment could not be stationed in Kapi forever, so this option was only a stopgap measure. But it's also good to be able to solve an urgent need, it's better than doing nothing.
"I think it's good! That's great! Is what you're saying true? It turns out that you really are angels! Mary couldn't wait to say yes, it was the best help for them.
Things took a turn for the better, Mary was very excited, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Misha even looked at Qin Zhiyuan with adoring eyes.
The supplies allocated by the French to the 6th Regiment were abundant, even too much to be used, and it would certainly be a pleasure to be able to dedicate some of them to help others.
"Okay, then, you can get to work now, for specific matters, please contact Major Qin Zhisheng, who is in charge of logistics, and Chen will take you to him. By the way, Lao Chen, about the eight people you injured, you can do it yourself, accompany them for a sum of money, and block their mouths. "Qin Zhiyuan doesn't want to make any more extraneous branches, it's best to end this matter.
"Okay, isn't it just money, don't worry, Qin Ye, Lao Chen has it now!" Chen Kangjian has a lot of money, and it seems that during this time, he also went to the Germans to get extra money.
"Qin, you are such a good person!" After everyone left, Mi Xia helped Qin Zhiyuan make a cup of tea, and by the way, he issued a good person card.
"Uh...... Don't say that, in my hometown, when a girl rejects a boy's courtship, she always says 'you're a good person', so don't say that to me, I have a psychological shadow on this sentence. Qin Zhiyuan explained in detail the origin of the "good guy card".
Mi Xia's face was flushed, her eyes were shining and she looked at Qin Zhiyuan, and only after half a sound did she snort: "You are not a good person!" ”
Qin Zhiyuan was scorched by thunder.
……
Regarding the feelings for Mixia, Qin Zhiyuan has not seen it clearly, so Qin Zhiyuan doesn't want to make a decision too early.
Qin Zhiyuan in his previous life was too cautious about his feelings, so much so that he didn't dare to touch them. Qin Zhiyuan in this life, his attitude towards feelings is still cautious, and he even does not hesitate to stay alone in the empty room for this reason, which is really embarrassing for him.
In order not to make himself too uncomfortable, Qin Zhiyuan tried his best to enrich his work, so that he didn't have time to think nonsense.
"General Qin, the French are really good to you, look at this bullet, canned food, clothing, don't care what it is, as long as you put it forward, it's enough, tsk......" Zhang Jingzong accompanied Qin Zhiyuan to inspect the training ground, the whole process, Zhang Jingzong was amazed by the treatment enjoyed by the Sixth Regiment: "No wonder the foreigners' troops are so capable of fighting, just look at their training standards, at the end of this day, a lot of bullets will be knocked out, put in our troops, this day's training bullets are enough to fight a battle." ”
Shooting training is being carried out on the training ground, each fighter shoots 30 rounds of live ammunition, every 10 rounds in a group, after each group of shots, there will be a senior shooter to do tutoring, correct the action and point out the deficiencies before the next time. Such training must be given to each soldier once every three days.
The training instructors were French, as well as high-ranking shooters in the troops. Zhang Jingzong regarded this as the training method of the French army, but he did not expect that this was from the "Infantry Drill Code" compiled by Qin Zhiyuan.
"After all, the French and the British have colonies all over the world, they have enough supplies, they have enough raw materials, and they don't care about this consumption." Qin Zhiyuan knew more, but there was no need to say it.
The First World War exhausted the savings of Britain, France, and Germany, which were old capitalist countries, for more than a century. The final bill for the British was $43.8 billion, France $28.2 billion, and Germany $47 billion. The U.S. dollar here refers to the U.S. dollar in the early 20th century.
"General Qin, we only have more than 5,000 people here, more than 300 machine guns, and more than 40 artillery pieces. Do you think we can bring some of the arms back to the country? As long as it can be shipped back, it is an out-and-out achievement! "For the firepower configuration of the sixth regiment, Zhang Jingzong is very envious.
France is in full swing in arms production, and Renault alone produces 2,000 boxes of artillery shells, 4,000 machine guns, and 60,000 rifles every month. Because of this, Louis Renault was able to sell a large number of arms to Qin Zhiyuan at one time, and those things were only a few days' production for Renault.
"I'm afraid it won't work. Do you think, the French gave us arms to help them fight, if they knew that we secretly transported the arms back to the Republic of China, what do you think the French would think? Qin Zhiyuan was not concerned with these weapons, but with Shandong in the hands of the Germans.
At the original Paris Peace Conference, China, as a victorious power, did not obtain its due rights and interests, but was treated in an almost insulting manner.
What Qin Zhiyuan wanted was not machine guns and artillery, but China's lost national dignity.
