Expedition to Europe

Chapter 55 Confusion

After Fuxu drove Qin Zhiyuan away, he did not break his promise and sent someone to deliver a Renault sedan to Qin Zhiyuan that day. For Qin Zhiyuan, one sedan was not enough. He now had more than a dozen followers around him at any time, including his adjutant Gao Hongshi and his housekeeper Huang Fugui, as well as a squad of personal guards. One sedan was too few.

Fortunately, Huang Fugui had taken out some of the gems, and Qin Zhiyuan took the initiative to buy two more sedans, which barely accommodated them.

After counting, Qin Zhiyuan and his team had a total of more than 600 gems and more than 3,000 gold ornaments, some of which were considered the common property of the Sixth Regiment. Because he started early, most of the gems were made by Qin Zhiyuan. Only Qin Zhiyuan and Qin Zhisheng knew the exact number, and no one else knew, so Qin Zhiyuan could use them at will.

After getting the sedan, Qin Zhiyuan hired three French drivers and returned to Capi.

As Chinese workers continued to arrive, their number increased. A considerable number of them were assigned to the Albert region or the Varenne region, but many were still assigned to Cappi. With the hard work of everyone in the recruitment office, the Sixth Regiment of the Foreign Legion is no longer what it used to be. In just half a month, the Sixth Regiment's paper strength has exceeded 3,000 people, and there are more than 2,000 reserve forces.

This establishment scale has exceeded the same level of troops in the British and French armies, and is about the same as the number of an infantry regiment in the United States. Of course, with too many recruits in the army, it is inevitable that the combat effectiveness will decline. They have to receive more training before they can accept the task.

Fortunately, Qin Zhiyuan and Falcao have a good relationship. Through Falcao, the Sixth Regiment can continuously obtain German standard weapons to equip the troops. Falcao's current rank is major, and his power is getting bigger and bigger. Not only are the weapons intact, but also a lot of weapons that were damaged in the war and needed repairs. In order to repair these weapons, Qin Zhisheng set up a maintenance team in the transport battalion to repair various weapons. Due to limited conditions, they could not make parts by themselves, but they were enough to piece together.

After a lot of trouble, the Sixth Regiment now has more than 3,000 rifles, 60 MG08 heavy machine guns, and nearly 100 MG08/15 light machine guns. This firepower density is already very high for a regiment, even compared to the British or German army at this time.

Before the war, the Allies and the Allies did not pay much attention to machine guns, and the number of equipment in the troops was not large. During the war, the role of machine guns became more and more obvious, so all countries desperately equipped machine guns. For example, the British infantry division was equipped with 24 machine gun companies, a total of 576 machine guns. Although the German army was equipped with fewer, it also had 4 machine gun companies with 96 machine guns.

Comparing the British and German armies, you will find the important position of artillery and machine guns in the First World War. Although the total number of Qin Zhiyuan and his men is not much, the firepower density is good enough.

Seeing that the establishment of each company is about to reach the battalion level, Qin Zhiyuan had to upgrade the specifications of the troops, and all the company-level establishments were upgraded to battalions, and then the platoon leader was promoted to company commander, and the company commander was promoted to battalion commander, and so on. Finally, the Sixth Regiment finally looked like a regiment.

Qin Haoge could not continue to be tough. The day after Qin Zhiyuan left, Qin Haoge found Qin Zhisheng and expressed his intention to join the Sixth Regiment.

Opportunities are always fleeting. Qin Haoge only took a few days of shelf, and he fell behind Zhang Tianshou by a big step. In the end, he served as a platoon leader in Zhang Tianshou's Fourth Battalion. Qin Haoge and Zhang Tianshou originally had the same advantages, but because he waited for a few days, he would never catch up with Zhang Tianshou in his life.

Now all the battalions of the Sixth Regiment are fully staffed. After the expansion, there are two battalion-level establishments that exceed the norm, one is the artillery battalion and the other is the rescue battalion.

Zheng Dali's artillery battalion was trained on the basis of the six "Miss 75". Zheng Dali's deputy Cheng Feiming had a lot of ideas. Although the entire artillery battalion only had six artillery pieces, Cheng Feiming ordered all soldiers to receive artillery training as much as possible. In this way, as long as there were enough artillery pieces, the artillery battalion could be expanded at any time.

Another overstaffed one was the rescue battalion. Because it did not have to undertake combat missions, the profession of military doctors was quite popular. And so many martial artists could treat trauma everywhere. After simple training, they were basically able to be military doctors.

Therefore, there were a lot of military doctors in the Sixth Regiment. With only more than 3,000 people, there were more than a hundred military doctors. This made Fisher, who was seriously short of medical staff, envious and jealous. So Fisher helped the Sixth Regiment to set up a 60-person nurse team, and poached 60 military doctors from the Sixth Regiment at a one-for-one ratio to participate in the rescue of wounded soldiers in the British and French armies.

Mao Shiba had no objection to this. He not only strongly supported it, but also ordered the military doctors of the Sixth Regiment to take turns to help Fisher, on the one hand to gain favor, and on the other hand to practice...

After returning to Capi, Qin Zhiyuan met Misha.

Qin Zhisheng, who has been very close to Falcao recently, may have heard something and transferred this little girl who looks like Sophie Marceau from the medical camp to the regiment headquarters, arranging her to be Qin Zhiyuan's secretary, waiting for Qin Zhiyuan to return and take office.

When he saw Misha, seeing Misha's surprised and happy little face, Qin Zhiyuan suddenly thought of Julie with a sweet smile.

When it comes to feelings, Qin Zhiyuan is very passive. Qin Zhiyuan in another time and space has never been in love. The relationship between him and women is simply to get what they need, have a night of fun and then go their separate ways. So when it comes to feelings, Qin Zhiyuan cannot be said to be sharp, and can even be called dull. He has many ways to win the favor of women, but when it comes to feelings, Qin Zhiyuan in another time and space has always kept a distance, or dared not blaspheme.

Because of this, when facing Misha and thinking of Julie, Qin Zhiyuan was confused. He knew that he needed a lover, but he didn't know the destination of his love.

Qin Zhiyuan is a straightforward person. He never procrastinates in doing things. When he found that his feelings were a little wavering, Qin Zhiyuan decided to take Misha to the Renault headquarters and meet Julie who had arrived earlier. When facing two women at the same time, perhaps Qin Zhiyuan can see his heart clearly.

Renault Automobile Company, headquartered in Boulogne-Billancourt near Paris, was founded by the three brothers Louis Renault in 1898.

When the First World War began, Renault took advantage of the war's needs to produce not only cars, but also trucks, guns and ammunition, and aircraft engines. When the British "Mark" I tank was used on the battlefield, the French military and Renault cooperated and established a team to design and produce France's own tanks.

Qin Zhiyuan was going to join this team. Because he was going to do civilian work, Qin Zhiyuan left all the guards in Capi and only took Gao Hongshi and Misha to Boulogne-Billancourt.

As a liaison between the military and Renault, Julie was also in this R\u0026D team.
