Expedition to Europe

Perhaps it was the righteous cause that moved Sandy, or perhaps it was Misha's persistence that worked. Sandy did not mention going to the United States again, and plunged into the laboratory to work without sleep.

The research on penicillin was infinitely close to success, and the finished product could appear at any time.

It takes courage to give up at this time, which further illustrates Sandy's love for Misha.

Qin Zhiyuan did not dare to love, and Qin Zhiyuan was worried about nationality.

Just after Qin Zhiyuan chose to join the French nationality, some people in the First Division also chose to join the French nationality, and there were quite a few of them.

Of course, some of them joined the French nationality because they married French women, but more people wanted to follow Qin Zhiyuan and express an attitude. Especially the officers in the army, most of them chose to join the French nationality to express their determination to advance and retreat with Qin Zhiyuan.

This was originally a good thing, but Qin Zhiyuan smelled a hint of unusual breath from it.

Almost all the applications of senior officers were approved, but only a few of the applications of junior officers and soldiers were approved. Most of those who were approved were already engaged to French women.

And it was not the French Immigration Bureau that rejected these people's applications, but they were rejected by the Republic of China Embassy in France.

Qin Zhiyuan couldn't tell why, and felt something was wrong, so he called the ambassador to France, Hu Weide, to inquire about this matter.

"Brother Dingyuan, this is what the country means, and I have no choice." Hu Weide complained as soon as he opened his mouth, as if he could see Hu Weide's embarrassed face across the phone line.

"What does the country mean?" Qin Zhiyuan asked.

So far, to be honest, Qin Zhiyuan's relationship with the country is not good. Since Qin Zhiyuan ignored the telegram from Premier Duan last time, the country has never sent a telegram to Qin Zhiyuan again.

Qin Zhiyuan didn't care. Anyway, the logistics of the First Division did not rely on the Beiyang Government, and Qin Zhiyuan didn't have much hope for the Beiyang Government. Qin Zhiyuan didn't have high requirements for the Beiyang Government, as long as they didn't drag their feet.

Qin Zhiyuan's only channel of contact with the country is the embassy. Poor Hu Wei De, the ambassador to France, has now become a mouthpiece between Qin Zhiyuan and the Beiyang government.

"Brother Dingyuan, let's talk about this issue after we meet." Hu Wei De refused to say it on the phone.

At present, the British and French can eavesdrop on information through cables, so it is not safe to talk about these things on the phone, because even Hu Wei De is not sure which telephone lines in the embassy are monitored and which are not.

Qin Zhiyuan used to be an agent and understood these dirty things. Qin Zhiyuan can even be sure that all the telephones in the embassy will be monitored, and there will be a large number of eavesdropping devices. This is not a secret in the spy world. Every country will do this.

"Okay, you get ready, I'll have someone send you here by plane." Qin Zhiyuan agreed.

With the arrival of summer, flying in the air is no longer an unbearable thing. Through Renault, Qin Zhiyuan got more than a dozen planes, all of which are twin-engine, two-seat fighters that can fly directly from Paris to Corsica.

Qin Zhiyuan also got a transport plane.

This is an aircraft designed according to Qin Zhiyuan's ideas, with a metal fuselage, two engines, and a sealed cabin. It can transport six passengers or 500 kilograms of cargo. This is the only transport plane in the world, and there is also a bomber model of the same type. Once launched, it immediately won an order of 200 from the French military, 150 from the British government, and 300 from the US government.

In order to complete the production task as soon as possible, Old Renault had to build another aircraft factory, which had 20% of Qin Zhiyuan's shares.

Don't think 20% is too little, Old Renault only has 30%, and the rest belongs to those bigwigs in Paris.

Qin Zhiyuan's research institute in Lei Ting City is currently researching large aircraft, that is, the kind of long-distance transport aircraft with four engines. For this reason, Long Chengyuan is conducting research on high-horsepower engines.

This also requires the cooperation of Long Chengxuan. If the materials can't keep up, no matter how good the design is, it can't be put into practice.

That night, Hu Wei De arrived at Thunder City by transport plane. Although Thunder Bluff also has an airport, without the guidance of the First Division's aircraft, all aircraft cannot land in Thunder Bluff. This problem may be changed recently. When the transport plane appears, the objective conditions for installing radio on the transport plane are ripe. Perhaps in the near future, the First Division will get aerial reconnaissance planes and bombers equipped with radio.

Hu Wei De's face is ruddy, and he looks around while walking, with a feeling of high spirits. He has had a good time during this period. Since Qin Zhiyuan joined the French nationality, the relationship between France and the Republic of China has become closer, and Hu Wei De's status as the ambassador to France in Paris has also risen.

In the Thunder Bluff study, Qin Zhiyuan and Hu Wei De sat opposite each other. This is Qin Zhiyuan's old nest. Qin Zhiyuan can be sure that there is no monitoring, so there is nothing to worry about talking here.

"…It is also very difficult at home. Ordinary soldiers are different from you. They don't have much sense of right and wrong. They are willing to sacrifice themselves for great things and forget the greater good for small gains. Therefore, the country is cautious about soldiers joining the French nationality. You know, if you are not satisfied in France or want to go back home, you can go back at any time, but those ordinary soldiers may stay in France after the war and never go back, which is not good for our country." Hu Wei De thought more.

"Don't worry about this problem. Even if someone in the army joins the French nationality, as long as the country needs it, they must serve the country. If they can't do this, I will make them lose everything. Even the French government can't protect them." Qin Zhiyuan was decisive.

The Chinese believe that those who achieve great things must be ruthless and unscrupulous. This may sound a bit extreme, but it is the difference between ordinary people and those who are superior to others. If it is not necessary, Qin Zhiyuan will not kill people, but if someone betrays the Chinese nation, Qin Zhiyuan will definitely cut the grass and root it out.

For example, in China now, some literati are advocating "Sino-Japanese friendship". Qin Zhiyuan is now in Europe and cannot reach him. As long as Qin Zhiyuan returns to China, those literati will have a good time. The Beiyang government can't bring itself to deal with those traitors who are betraying their own country. Qin Zhiyuan, a "foreigner", will not be polite.

"After all, it is the last helpless move. If it is not necessary, don't be impulsive. Let's do the work in advance now. Isn't it better to prevent it before it happens?" Hu Weide felt sympathetic.

During the Republic of China, the reputation of "warlords" like Qin Zhiyuan was not good in China. However, it was not yet to the point where everyone despised them. In another time and space, after the Paris Peace Conference, the reputation of "warlords" was really bad.
