Expedition to Europe

Corsica is mountainous, with copper, silver and lead mines, but they are all remote, with low reserves and little economic value.

Almost all the machines and raw materials on the island have to be imported, so there is no industry on Corsica. The residents on the island rely on dairy sheep for survival. They take milk from dairy sheep and make high-quality cheese for export. At the same time, they plant fruit trees and export citrus or olive oil.

Of course, this is for the residents of Corsica. For the Chinese, who have almost full agricultural planting skills, there are too many things that can be planted in Corsica. It is indeed a bit of a waste to let five or six thousand Corsicans occupy such a large island.

For the French, Corsica has almost no value, and the government has to pay a lot of financial subsidies every year. It is better to support the Albanian colonial government than to support this island. At least Albania can organize troops to support the French in battle when France needs it.

The reason why Qin Zhiyuan secretly issued the immigration order was to replace the indigenous people on Corsica with Chinese. When the Corsicans on the island became a minority, the Chinese would become the dominant force. At that time, the future of Corsica would be decided by the Chinese.

The First World War was indeed a human catastrophe.

If we must say that the First World War was progressive, it probably loosened the cornerstone of the colonial rule of imperialist countries. After World War II, the colonial rule of Britain, France and other countries was further weakened, and coupled with the awakening of the people's national consciousness, an independent autonomy movement was finally launched on a global scale. More than half of the more than 200 countries in the United Nations in the 21st century became independent after World War II.

Then the twenty years between World War I and World War II gave Qin Zhiyuan enough time to operate. If he operated well, he might not be able to catch up with this wave of enclosure.

The national independence movement after World War II was also an alternative enclosure movement, and the manifestation of this enclosure movement was national self-determination. "Public opinion" can indeed be manipulated. At least for Qin Zhiyuan, a former spy, it is a piece of cake to subvert and make some noise.

Let alone in the Mediterranean Sea of ​​Europe, even if a piece of land can be occupied in Southeast Asia, it will improve the living environment of the Chinese nation in the future. At least the first island chain will probably not be established.

Qin Zhiyuan's "stealing and replacing pillars" started from Corsica.

The barracks on Corsica are basically buildings from the last century. Although the barracks cover a large area, most of the buildings are already decayed.

Qin Zhiyuan came to a barracks casually. He did not try to push the door that was already crumbling. Looking inside from the broken window frame, there were only a few pieces of furniture in the room, tables and stools with missing arms and legs, and collapsed beds. There was a thick layer of dust from the windowsill to the ground. A strong smell of mold could be smelled through a wall.

"Master Qin, I feel like we came to France to clean up. Starting from Capitol, we clean up every place we go. It was like this in Capitol, Verdun, Paris, and this damn broken island, but it's still such a small thing." Chen Kangjian was full of resentment.

"Let's clean up. Maybe this is our first real home." Qin Zhiyuan didn't despise it. He wiped the dust on the windowsill with his hands. He had the urge to take off his windbreaker and do a big job.

"Home?" Chen Kangjian was sharp.

"Yes, home! It depends on whether we can protect it!" Qin Zhiyuan was firm.

The current Qin Zhiyuan is no longer the Qin Zhiyuan who just arrived last year. With the support of the two old guys, old Foch and old Renault, Qin Zhiyuan has begun to try to control his own destiny. This time Qin Zhiyuan's visit to Corsica is just a small test for Qin Zhiyuan.

Facts have proved that Qin Zhiyuan's strategy is effective.

"Let's do it! I will kill the whole family of anyone who dares to rob me." Chen Kangjian was murderous and turned around to issue an order: "Brothers, start working and clean up this house as if it were your new house for you to marry a wife."

"Start working, start working."

"Don't worry, Master Chen, I promise to clean it up even cleaner than your new house."

"Company A will repair the gate and sentry post, Company B will repair the road, Company C and Company D will repair the surrounding sentry posts..."

As the order was issued, the soldiers immediately began to act, each doing their own job in an orderly manner.

"What's the situation on the island?" Qin Zhiyuan didn't have to work, and went to the temporary command post that had been set up with a tent to find Hu Tingfeng.

"Master Qin, everything is as planned, everything is under control, Portlem and Beavis went out to find people separately, and they will probably be back soon. When they come back, we can start to execute according to the plan." Hu Tingfeng likes to hide in dark corners and hit people with clubs the most. Letting him do this job is really making the best use of people.

Portrem and Beavis were from Old Renault. They served as guides, leading Hu Tingfeng and his men to the island to do all sorts of things. All those assassinations and explosions were caused by them, which was equivalent to the French "guide party".

"Very good, you take a break first, and we will start tomorrow." Qin Zhiyuan was very satisfied. No matter how many things there were, they had to do them one by one.

Corsica was once ruled by people, and the entire island was full of castle-like defensive fortresses built during the rule. Most of these castles were brick and stone structures, with solid structures and numerous numbers. There were more than ten around Ajaccio alone.

The military camp used by Qin Zhiyuan and his team is a castle-style building complex that is the best preserved and covers the largest area. This castle complex was built on a peninsula, with cliffs hundreds of meters high on three sides. Only one side leads to Ajaccio. The terrain on the sea side is very complex, with dense reefs and rugged rocks. Not to mention large warships, even small fishing boats are difficult to enter and exit.

There are hundreds of buildings on the peninsula, covering an area of ​​about two or three square kilometers. There are military camps for nearly 10,000 soldiers to live in, and there are also two castles about 30 meters high. These two castles, one at the entrance and the other at the innermost, form a complete defense system.

But for Qin Zhiyuan and his team, defense is simply too simple. Since there are no tall mountains near the location of the peninsula, Qin Zhiyuan and his team only need to park two FT-17 tanks at the foot of the mountain to guard the only access.

It was not until dusk that Portlem and Beavis returned with four locals.

Perhaps what Qin Zhiyuan and his men did at the dock had spread all over Corsica. When these locals saw Qin Zhiyuan, they were very afraid. They shrank like quails and trembled a little. This made Qin Zhiyuan very suspicious of their execution.

"Just find these people? Can they do it?" Qin Zhiyuan doubted.

"No way, Qin, the most prestigious Swansea father on the island has died at the dock. They are the most prestigious people on the island now." Beavis spread his hands helplessly.

Yes, such a broken island has neither rich resources nor a bright future. There are only endless hatred and revenge. As long as there is a little ability or connection, I am afraid they will move to the French mainland.

No one wants to stay here.
