Expedition to Europe

The extremists on Corsica have not been completely cleared out.

This is not Chen Kangjian's problem, nor is it a problem that the extremists are too good at fighting.

Corsica is really too big. Although the First Brigade now has nearly 10,000 people, it still seems weak on this island of more than 8,000 square kilometers.

However, these extremists are no longer a force to be reckoned with. Their numbers are gradually decreasing, and it is almost certain that their destruction is imminent.

In this era, Qin Zhiyuan is an expert in guerrilla warfare and naturally knows how to deal with guerrilla warfare.

One of the key points of guerrilla warfare is to mobilize the masses. Without the cooperation of the masses, even if all the guerrilla members are Rambo, they will eventually perish.

There is no such thing as the mass line on Corsica now. All the residents on the island have been concentrated in Thunder City and Trident City. All the houses in the mountains have been burned down, and most of the fruit trees planted before have been cut down, leaving only a few scattered trees for fishing.

The patrol route of the First Brigade's armed patrol team has now been opened up to the mountains. They even remember the location of every fruit on the fruit trees that were left on purpose. As long as they find someone picking it, they will immediately conduct a dragnet search, and they will gain something every time.

So since February, the resistance on Corsica has been weakening, and the harassment of three or five people in front of them is the largest scale.

After aiming, the tank fired five rounds, and the five rounds of shooting by twelve tanks together. The power of the 75mm gun is still considerable. Grass and trees are scattered, and gravel flies. After five rounds, the place where the extremists just stayed has become the surface of the moon.

"It's too wasteful. We still need armored vehicles, armored vehicles equipped with large-caliber machine guns or small-caliber machine guns." Qin Zhiyuan thought further.

Because of Huang Bohan's request for help, Qin Zhiyuan is going to send a troop to Borneo in the name of protecting the property of the First Brigade. Borneo is actually rich in products, and Huang Bohan has a considerable number of mines.

In order to have a legitimate name to intervene in the affairs of Borneo, Huang Bohan transferred most of the mines under his name to Qin Zhiyuan. Although the operating rights were still owned by Huang Bohan, those mines were nominally Qin Zhiyuan's property. Qin Zhiyuan had sufficient reason to send people to protect his property from loss.

In Borneo, because of the instigation of the Dutch colonial government, the relationship between the locals and the Chinese was quite bad, and anti-Chinese incidents often occurred. If Qin Zhiyuan wanted to protect his property, he had to send a troop to be stationed there. There are many islands in Borneo, and the traffic conditions are poor. On those islands, it is better to use armored vehicles than tanks.

Fortunately, armored vehicles are only wrapped in a layer of armor on the outside compared to trucks. It is not troublesome to mass produce them. With the support of the Renault factory, Qin Zhiyuan is very confident.

At noon, the two brothers Michelle and Xuanyuan came to Qin Zhiyuan.

"I was just about to find you and ask for your opinions." Qin Zhiyuan made tea himself.

Michelle was no stranger to tea. After receiving it, she used the cup lid to stir the tea leaves in a proper manner, and drank it with a slurp. Her style was a bit mixed.

"What do you think?" Michelle took two sips, put down the cup and sat upright.

"What do you plan for your future?" Qin Zhiyuan said frankly.

"Last night, Misha talked about her American adoptive parents. I want to go to the United States to thank them in person and go to the school there to see if I can find a job." Michelle was honest.

Misha went to the New World with her adoptive parents. No wonder Michelle couldn't find Misha. 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 wanted to hire you to preside over it." Qin Zhiyuan put the bait.

"Laboratory? In what field?" Michelle was surprised.

"Regarding engines and materials, or biology and chemistry, I have several good projects here. If they are well run, maybe I can try to win the Explosives Award." Qin Zhiyuan put enough bait.

"Explosives Award?" Michelle was shocked.

The Nobel Prize is awarded every year, but not everyone is eligible to participate. For example, a first-class professor like Michel, if he does not have external help, he will never win in his life. Michel is of course interested in the Nobel Prize. In fact, all scientists are interested in the Nobel Prize, not because of the insignificant prize money, but because of the honor.

The Nobel Prize has been declining since 1901. Now it is about 130,000 or 140,000 Swedish kronor per year. This amount of money is not small compared to ordinary people, but compared to those who are eligible to receive the award, this amount of money is not worth mentioning.

Almost everyone who is eligible to receive the Nobel Prize has an astronomical figure for their annual scientific research funding. Even if it is not as much as the legacy left by Nobel, it will not be much different. Scientific research is actually a game of burning money. Even if it is based on countries, many countries cannot afford it, such as the current Beiyang government of the Republic of China.

"Yes, it is the dynamite prize! I will provide sufficient funds, sufficient manpower, the most perfect conditions, and the most generous treatment to build a laboratory that can be regarded as excellent worldwide." Qin Zhiyuan is ready to close the net.

"Qin, I admire your passion for science, but have you ever thought about how much money it will cost?" Michelle had some understanding of the expenses of scientific research.

"Forgive me, I haven't thought about it carefully, but if it's a project, is 500,000 enough per month? US dollars!" Qin Zhiyuan spent a lot of money.

Regarding the research funding, Qin Zhiyuan did not intend to save. He was prepared to use half of his monthly income to support it.

"Uh uh uh... Of course it's enough, enough, 500,000 US dollars is enough for several projects, and several can be carried out at the same time." Michel almost lost his composure.

For organizing scientific research, the more projects there are, the less funds are needed, because the cost of the machines needed for the research institute can be shared, and the cost of various raw materials can also be shared. In this way, the more projects there are, the more money is saved.

For a professor of Michel's level, he certainly had funds before the World War, but only 30,000 or 40,000 francs per month, which is less than 10,000 US dollars. It is no wonder that Michel was almost shocked by the figure of "500,000 US dollars".

"Then what about you two?" Qin Zhiyuan turned his target to the Xuanyuan brothers.

"I... I... I..." Long Chengxuan was undecided and looked at Michel for help.

Michelle felt a bit uncomfortable, and didn't feel the student's request for help at all.

"Tom, what are you still hesitating about? Qin, can I stay?" Long Chengyuan was anxious.

"Of course, you can choose any project, whatever you want, make a list of what you need, and then give it to Gaspard." Qin Zhiyuan agreed.

"Qin, maybe I can help too." Michelle finally couldn't help it.

"Thank you very much, that's exactly what I want." Qin Zhiyuan got what he wanted.
