Chapter 195: Nobel
The extremists on Corsica have not yet been completely cleared.
This is not a problem of Chen Kangjian, nor is it a problem that extremists are too capable of fighting.
Corsica is so big that although the First Brigade now has nearly 10,000 people, it still looks weak on this island of more than 8,000 square kilometers.
But these extremists are no longer in the climate, they are gradually decreasing, and it is almost certain that their demise is imminent.
In this era, Qin Zhiyuan was an expert in guerrilla warfare, so he naturally knew how to deal with guerrilla warfare.
One of the main points of guerrilla warfare is to mobilize the masses. Without the cooperation of the masses, even if all the guerrilla members were Rambo, they would have only perished in the end.
In today's Corsica, there is no such thing as a mass line. All the inhabitants of the island have been concentrated in Thunder City and Trident City, all the dwellings in the mountains have been burned, and most of the fruit trees that were planted before have been cut down, leaving only a few for fishing.
The armed patrols of the 1st Brigade now patrol routes into the mountains, and they even remember the location of every fruit on the fruit trees that they had left behind, and if they found someone picking it, they would immediately conduct a dragnet search, and each time they would find something.
Since the beginning of February, the resistance in Corsica has been weakening, and the harassment of three or five people is the largest.
After aiming, the tank fired five rounds, twelve tanks together. The power of the 75-mm cannon was still considerable, with grass and trees splashing everywhere, rubble flying, and after five rounds, the place where the extremists had just stayed had become the surface of the moon.
"It's too wasteful, you still need armored vehicles, armored vehicles armed with large-caliber machine guns or small-caliber cannons." Qin Zhiyuan thought farther.
Because of Huang Bohan's request for help, Qin Zhiyuan was ready to send a force to Borneo. In the name of protecting the property of the 1st Brigade. That place in Borneo is actually very rich in products, and Huang Bohan has a considerable number of mines in his hands.
In order to have a legitimate name to meddle in the affairs of Borneo, Huang Bohan transferred most of the mines under his name to Qin Zhiyuan, although the right to operate is still owned by Huang Bohan, but those mines are nominally Qin Zhiyuan's property, and Qin Zhiyuan has every reason to send people to protect his property from loss.
In that part of Borneo, because of the provocation of the Dutch colonial government, the relationship between the locals and the Chinese was quite bad, and there were often anti-Chinese incidents. If Qin Zhiyuan wants to protect his property. A force must be stationed there. Borneo has a large number of islands with poor transport conditions, and on those islands it is better to use tanks than armored vehicles.
Fortunately, fortunately, the armored car is only wrapped with a layer of armor on the outside compared to the truck, and it is not troublesome for mass production, with the backing of the Renault factory. Qin Zhiyuan is very confident.
At noon, the two brothers, Michelle and Xuanyuan, came to find Qin Zhiyuan.
"I was going to go to you and ask for your opinion." Qin Zhiyuan personally made tea.
Michelle is no stranger to tea, and after taking it, she also has a decent cup lid to pull the tea leaves. Drunk and snoring, the style is a bit mixed and matched.
"What's the opinion?" Michelle took two sips, put down her teacup and sat down.
"Do you have any plans for your future?" Qin Zhiyuan is bright.
"Yesterday night. Misha talked about her American adoptive parents, and I wanted to go to the United States and thank them in person. I stopped by the school over there to see if I could get a job. "Michelle is honest.
Misha went to the New World with her adoptive parents back then, no wonder Michelle couldn't find Misha, and now Michelle also wants to try her luck in the United States.
"That's a pity, I originally wanted to build a laboratory here, and I wanted to hire you to host it." Qin Zhiyuan released the bait.
"Laboratory? About what? Michelle was surprised.
"I've got a couple of good projects here for engines and materials, or biology and chemistry, and if they work well, maybe they can try to win the dynamite prize." Qin Zhiyuan put the bait to his feet.
"Dynamite prize?" Michelle was horrified.
The Nobel Prize is awarded every year, but not everyone is eligible to participate, such as a first-class professor like Michelle, who would never have thought about it in his life without outside help. Of course Michel is interested in the Nobel Prize, and in fact all scientists are interested in the Nobel Prize, not because of the insignificant prize, but because of the honor.
The Nobel prize has been declining since 1901 and is now about 1340,000 Swedish kronor a year, which is a lot of money for the average person, but not worth it for those who are eligible for it.
Almost everyone who qualifies for a Nobel Prize spends an astronomical amount on scientific research every year, if not as much as Nobel's legacy. Scientific research is actually a money-burning game, even if it is based on the country, there are many countries that cannot afford it, such as the current Beiyang government of the Republic of China.
"Yes, it's the Dynamite Award! I will provide sufficient funds, sufficient manpower, the most perfect conditions, and the best treatment to build an excellent laboratory in the world. Qin Zhiyuan was ready to close the net.
"Qin, I admire your yearning for science, but have you ever thought about how much it costs?" Michelle still has a certain understanding of the cost of scientific research.
"I beg your pardon, I haven't thought about it carefully, but if it's a subject, is 500,000 a month enough? Dollar! "Qin Zhiyuan has made a lot of money.
Regarding scientific research funds, Qin Zhiyuan really has no intention of saving, he is ready to use half of his monthly income to support.
"Uh-uh...... Of course it's enough, it's enough, $500,000 is enough for several projects, and several can be carried out at the same time. "Michelle almost lost her temper.
For the organization of scientific research, the more projects, the less funds are needed, because the cost of the machine required for the research can be shared, and the cost of various raw materials can also be shared.
For a professor of Michel's level, of course, he also had funds before the world war, but it was only thirty or forty thousand francs a month, which is equivalent to less than ten thousand dollars, and it is no wonder that Michel was almost out of shape by the impact of the figure of "half a million dollars".
"And what about the two of you?" Qin Zhiyuan turned his attention to the Xuanyuan brothers.
"I ...... I...... I ......" Long Chengxuan couldn't make up his mind, and asked Michelle for help with his eyes.
Michelle felt a bit like she was on pins and needles, and she didn't feel the student's plea for help at all.
"Tom, what are you waiting for? Qin, can I stay? Long Chengyuan was eager.
"Of course, you can choose whatever you want, do whatever you want, make a list of what you need, and give it to Gaspard." Qin Zhiyuan agreed.
"Qin, maybe I can help too." Michelle finally couldn't help it.
"I'm so grateful, that's exactly what I wanted." Qin Zhiyuan got his wish.
