Expedition to Europe

Returning to Corsica, seeing every plant and tree here, seeing the familiar Thunder Bluff, Qin Zhiyuan felt more relaxed than ever before.

This is Qin Zhiyuan’s first foothold in the world, and it is the first island that Qin Zhiyuan manages with care. Now everything on Corsica is closely related to Qin Zhiyuan. Qin Zhiyuan’s stay on the island of Corsica He has a distinct personal imprint on him, and even the Corsican Parliament decided to name the main street in the center of Thunder City "Zhiyuan Street" to commemorate Qin Zhiyuan's efforts for Corsica.

When it comes to the use of personal names, Westerners are relatively open-minded.

In Lanfang, Qin Zhiyuan certainly has supreme authority, but there is no "Zhiyuan Street" in Lanfang. At most, it has a place name like "Legion Avenue". Under the premise that Qin Zhiyuan is the king, it is absolutely impossible for Lanfang to appear. Place names like "Zhiyuan Street" and even the words "Zhi" and "Yuan" are taboo.

Westerners obviously don’t have such doubts. They express their feelings more directly and in more diversified forms. They can speak frankly when they like someone. Foch even called a dog "Napoleon". It is also normal for a street to be named "Zhiyuan Street".

Qin Zhiyuan didn't object to this. Anyway, it was just a name and it would not affect Qin Zhiyuan's prestige in this city.

Although Lanfang has been established, there are still many Chinese living in Thunder City. When the Foreign Legion began to immigrate to Corsica, basically all the mid-level and senior officers moved their families to Corsica. island.

Throughout Thunder City, there are more than ten high-end residential areas belonging to the families of the Foreign Legion. They built houses and settled here. Even after Lanfang was established, some people chose to stay here.

Compared with Lanfang, Corsica still has advantages. For example, in terms of vocational education, Corsica is more advanced than Lanfang.

When Qin Zhiyuan first arrived in Corsica, he vigorously promoted vocational education in Corsica. The medical and health industry and the education industry were top priorities. The first school in Corsica was a nursing school, and the second was Teachers College.

With the support of Qin Zhiyuan, vocational education in Corsica has progressed rapidly. When Lanfang was established, Thunder City had already begun to train doctors and teachers who could teach in middle schools, while Trident City trained senior technical workers and teachers. Mid-level and senior officers.

This is a huge improvement. It can be said that Lanfang's current situation is closely related to Corsica's continuous supply of talents.

After the establishment of Lanfang, Qin Zhiyuan transferred part of the teaching staff from Corsica to Lanfang. This not only did not lower the educational level of Corsica, but also caused Corsica to introduce talents on a large scale. The level of education has been further improved.

In Corsica, the original nursing school has been upgraded to the Medical University of Corsica. The hospital affiliated to the Medical University is one of the most well-equipped and technologically advanced hospitals in Europe. The original normal college has also been upgraded to a normal university. Here The teachers trained are not only popular in Lanfang, but also in demand throughout Europe.

Of course, because most of the students are Chinese, the first choice for graduates in Corsica is Lanfang, and some of them went to the Republic of China. Only students from Europe will go to the European continent.

Like Lanfang Imperial University, schools in Corsica also use an application system. Every spring is the admissions period for major colleges in Corsica. Students who want to enter major colleges in Corsica have to wait for two months. Apply within the deadline, and then the school will organize a unified examination to complete the freshman admission in the fall.

It must be pointed out that the entrance exams for major colleges in Corsica include Chinese as a subject. If Chinese does not reach a certain level, the candidates will definitely be turned away. This objectively also promotes the spread of Chinese. , currently the German Ministry of Education is considering including Chinese as an elective course, and in France, although Chinese is not an elective course, more and more people are learning Chinese.

On the second day after returning to Corsica, Pierre invited Qin Zhiyuan to visit the Corsican Parliament.

In Corsica, Qin Zhiyuan and Pierre's roles are a bit put before the horse.

Corsica is a French territory, so strictly speaking, Corsica should be Pierre's home court. But at the same time, the current Corsica was created by Qin Zhiyuan. Qin Zhiyuan has a distinct personal imprint here. Pierre's words in Corsica are definitely not as effective as Qin Zhiyuan's words. Even Qin Zhiyuan's words are not as effective as those of Qin Zhiyuan. If you want to take a vacation in Corsica, you don't need to apply to the French government. This really makes Pierre not so confident.

Of course, as the Speaker of the French Parliament, it would be more appropriate for Pierre to send this invitation.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Qin Zhiyuan and Pierre took a car provided by the French Foreign Legion headquarters and headed from Thunder Bluff to the Corsican Parliament Hall.

After Qin Zhiyuan became King of Lanfang, he naturally could no longer serve as the commander of the French Foreign Legion. However, the name Qin Zhiyuan will probably always be associated with the French Foreign Legion.

During the World War, it was the French Foreign Legion that started the rebellion that had been kept secret for a hundred years. If Qin Zhiyuan had not stepped forward to bring order to the chaos, I am afraid that the French Foreign Legion would have lost all its honors, and even this group might have been disbanded. Maybe, so Qin Zhiyuan is of great significance to the Foreign Legion.

Even though Qin Zhiyuan no longer has any relationship with the French Foreign Legion, the French Foreign Legion has not forgotten Qin Zhiyuan. Just last month, the French Foreign Legion decided to award Qin Zhiyuan the title of "Honorary Commander".

"Awarded", this word seems a bit disrespectful when used on Qin Zhiyuan, but neither Qin Zhiyuan nor the French Foreign Legion have any objection to this.

Qin Zhiyuan helped the French Foreign Legion, but then again, the French Foreign Legion also made Qin Zhiyuan successful. Without the French Foreign Legion as a carrier, it would be difficult for Qin Zhiyuan to quickly integrate into French society, not to mention the establishment of Lan Fang and its current achievements, which are all based on the French Foreign Legion.

So Qin Zhiyuan did not accept this honor in the name of King Lan Fang, but in his own name.

"Honorary Commander" is not just a title, but also accompanied by corresponding benefits. For example, with this honorary title, Qin Zhiyuan can use all the services provided by the French Foreign Legion with peace of mind, and even command the troops of the Foreign Legion. This is a great honor and a great responsibility.

With this connection, there is an additional channel of contact between Lan Fang and France, which is conducive to mending the friendship between Lan Fang and France that has already cracked. Once a war breaks out between France and other countries, Qin Zhiyuan can intervene in this name.

In this context, it was no big deal for Qin Zhiyuan to use the car provided by the French Foreign Legion. The French Foreign Legion even equipped Qin Zhiyuan with a professional secretary who was responsible for the connection between Qin Zhiyuan and the French Foreign Legion.

The Corsica Parliament Hall is located next to the Legion Square at the end of Zhiyuan Street. It is a 15-meter-high building with an area of ​​more than 1,500 square meters and can accommodate 120 members of the parliament.

Adhering to the French tradition of freedom, the Corsica Parliament is not a closed parliament. When it is not in session, the parliament is open to everyone for free. Whether it is Corsicans or tourists who come here, they can visit the parliament hall. Of course, the difference is that Corsicans are free, and tourists have to pay a certain fee.

Even if the fee paid is enough, people can stand on the podium to take a group photo. This service item is charged to everyone, and the fees collected will be used for the maintenance of the parliament hall.

When the parliament is in session, citizens of Thunder City can also listen in, but they are not allowed to interfere with the meeting process, otherwise they will be expelled by security guards.

Qin Zhiyuan came to visit the parliament, of course there were no citizens and tourists present. Eric, the president of the Corsica Parliament, and the mayor of Thunder, led all the parliamentarians to welcome Qin Zhiyuan at the door of the parliament hall.

When getting off the car, Qin Zhiyuan shook hands with Eric. Before shaking hands with Bivis, Bivis even gave Qin Zhiyuan a military salute of the French Foreign Legion, which made Pierre's face a little ugly.

Eric is a native of Corsica. When Qin Zhiyuan first came to Corsica, Eric took the initiative to cooperate with the Foreign Legion, which led to everything now. Bivis used to be a subordinate of old Renault. Before Qin Zhiyuan came to Corsica, Bivis and Portlem were ordered to be the front station. As a result, when Lanfang was established, Bivis stayed in Corsica and became the mayor of Thunder City, and his old partner Portlem is now the Minister of Education of Lanfang.

This military salute of Bivis fully illustrates Qin Zhiyuan's status in Corsica, and it was in front of Pierre, which really meant that he didn't care.

Qin Zhiyuan did not forget Corsica. When he entered the parliament hall, he kept greeting the parliamentarians who lined the streets to welcome him.

"Henry, are you okay?"

"Willie, you look good."

"Joe, you have gained a lot of weight--"

Qin Zhiyuan was greeted by continuous applause, which started when he got off the car. It was the kind of rhythmic applause, "wow, wow, wow--" which was very exciting.

After entering the parliament hall, the members sat down in their seats. Qin Zhiyuan and Pierre sat in the temporary VIP seats. Eric came to the podium and gave a welcome speech: "- Corsica before 1917 was dark, dark, and there was no future, but since the spring of 1917, Corsica finally waited for its "savior"-now, let us invite the great "angel", the "patron saint" of Paris, the "creator" of Corsica-Zhiyuan-Qin-"

When introducing Qin Zhiyuan, Eric's voice was a little long, like a DJ in a carnival, which was indeed a bit out of control for a parliament speaker.

But no one cared. After Eric finished speaking, thunderous applause immediately rang out at the scene, and everyone stood up to welcome Qin Zhiyuan to the stage to give a speech.

The applause lasted a little long. Qin Zhiyuan had been standing on the podium for five minutes, and the applause had not stopped. Even Qin Zhiyuan wanted to speak several times, but was stopped by the continuous applause.

Facing those enthusiastic faces, Qin Zhiyuan felt that it was all worth it.
