(Thank you to the Weasdsa brothers for the encouragement of the monthly pass, thank you to the brothers who gave a lot of tips yesterday, thank you, you guys made the fish head feel warm.) ）

The first thing Qin Zhiyuan did after arriving on the island was to gather the Corsicans scattered in all corners of the island to Ajaccio, at least in the southern half. The northern half is to be concentrated in Bastia.

Qin Zhiyuan knew that before he sent Hu Tingfeng to the island, there were extremists active on Corsica, but their methods were not as direct as Hu Tingfeng, and now they use relatively moderate means to confront the French government.

Since Qin Zhiyuan wanted to take Corsica Island as his own, he could not allow unexpected factors to exist on the island, so it was necessary to carry out proper wall clearing.

That's right, it's the clear wilderness of the fortified wall.

About two-thirds of the entire island of Corsica is mountainous, and the island is full of peaks, with 20 peaks over 2,000 meters above sea level, the highest of which is Mount Chinto, which is 2,700 meters above sea level. If those extremists hide in the mountains and play hide and seek with the 1st Brigade, it will be very difficult for the 1st Brigade to find them and eliminate them.

The most effective means of dealing with the guerrillas is to clear the wilderness.

Qin Zhiyuan had studied the history of the party, had a lot of experience in guerrilla warfare, and clearly knew that the weakness of guerrilla warfare was to rely on the masses, and without the masses as a support, guerrilla warfare would not be able to persist at all.

Then find a way to bring the people of the island together so that the extremists cannot get support from the local people.

This is Qin Zhiyuan's original intention to implement the strong wall and clear the wilderness.

And those four locals are the agents Qin Zhiyuan is looking for, and they will carry out Qin Zhiyuan's will and persuade the islanders to obey Qin Zhiyuan's management.

"As you know, it's a time of war, and supplies are tight. Paris could not afford to spend as much money on the inhabitants of Corsica as in previous years. Therefore, only those who obey the government will receive help from the government, and as for those who do not obey the government, the French government does not need to be kind to them. Qin Zhiyuan controls this fund in his hands, and how to distribute it is all up to Qin Zhiyuan.

The money is traditionally released after Christmas, and that's exactly what happened. It was simply up to Qin Zhiyuan to be in charge of the distribution.

"General, I think I understand what you mean, that is, if you move to Ajaccio, then you will receive a subsidy, and if you don't move here, there will be no money, is that right?" Eric, who looked to be the oldest and most well-dressed of the four, replied.

"That's right. As a French citizen, you should make your own contribution to the French Republic when France needs it, instead of making assassinations, making explosions, evading military service, that is not what a gentleman should do. "Qin Zhiyuan occupies the moral high ground.

"Sir, raising a butcher's knife against a civilian is not what a gentleman should do." Corsicans are indeed very resistant, and even in the barracks of the 1st Brigade, there are people who dare to express their opinions.

The person who spoke was called Hubert. Ever since he saw Qin Zhiyuan, he had been very scared. But while shrouded in great fear. Hubert still dared to accuse Qin Zhiyuan, perhaps this is the bravery in the bones of Corsicans, Don Quixote-style bravery.

"You're right! I've never pointed my guns at civilians before, but what happened on the docks, you probably know by now. I would like to ask a question. Armed with bombs and pistols, are people who attack their own troops with stones still civilians? If they count as thugs, then what should the army do when confronted with thugs? Waiting to be killed? Retreating? No! That's not a gentleman either, that's a coward! "Qin Zhiyuan is sonorous and powerful.

These words were not just for Hubert and Eric. It was also said to Mi Xia, who was standing behind Qin Zhiyuan.

After the dock incident, Mixia never gave Qin Zhiyuan a good look again, and he was always cold. Although Mixia was still performing the duties of a secretary, Qin Zhiyuan could feel that Mixia's eyes had been staring at him, like a man's back.

In a telegram sent by Duke to Poincaré, the incident has been characterized as a mob attack on the army. Poengaré has not called back yet, but it does not prevent Qin Zhiyuan from characterizing this incident again.

"All I can say is that any shooting at a woman or child is dishonorable." Hubert did not answer Qin Zhiyuan's question positively, but only emphasized the sense of honor and duty that a soldier should have.

"Women and children? As soon as they pick up the stones and throw them at the army, they are no longer women and children, but the same thugs. In modern society, the definition of the weak is no longer as clear as it used to be, even a woman or a child, when they are armed with a gun, can also cause great harm to others, I can't let that happen. "Qin Zhiyuan is not ready to make corrections.

Sympathy for the weak is a good quality, but it also depends on the situation. In the Sino-Vietnamese War in another time and space, the Chinese soldiers fully developed their gentlemanly demeanor at the beginning, and they treated the Vietnamese people with their attitude towards their own people, and the result was known to everyone. Since then, the question of how to enforce battlefield discipline has led to a great debate involving a wide range of sectors of society. Regarding this kind of thing, Qin Zhiyuan just wants to say, send those who talk about humanitarianism to the battlefield.

"But they don't, they don't have guns in their hands, they only have stones and clods of earth in their hands, these are not lethal weapons and cannot cause fatal damage to your soldiers. And your soldiers are armed with military-standard weapons, which are powerful and have the incomparable lethality of stones. Hubert avoided the important and trivialized, he did not talk about whether it was bad or not, but only about the degree of threat.

This is like a "case of helping people" in another time and space, the reason why that case caused huge controversy was not the tens of thousands of yuan, but the overall moral decline of the whole society caused by it, which was probably unexpected by all the parties involved.

"Then what you mean is that my warriors should not fight back, scold or not, and let their unarmed women and children smash them casually, it doesn't matter, they won't die anyway. Do you mean that? Do we do the same when dealing with the Germans? Qin Zhiyuan's anger was growing.

"Of course not, you can do more, and be less brutal." Hubert didn't hesitate to use the word "brutal".

"I'm afraid that when the time comes, you will have another set of arguments, because you yourself are looking at the homeland army with colored eyes, and whatever we do is wrong in your eyes." Qin Zhiyuan didn't want to quarrel with this kind of Luo hoop anymore, it didn't make any sense.

It's like another time and space where the government treats nail households, and if the government demolishes it, then well, some people will say, it's the government's disrespect for human rights. If those nail households are allowed to exist, then some people will say, look, this is a manifestation of privilege, this family must have a backstage.

For those who wear tinted glasses, whatever you do is wrong, even if you have to breathe to survive.

Because if you take one more puff, he will take one less.

And once such a person is in power, he will forbid everyone else to breathe for the sake of his own right to breathe.
