After receiving the news, Qin Zhiyuan returned to Corsica overnight.

This trip to Rome, Qin Zhiyuan gained a lot. Not only did he get the position of Grand Master of the Knights Templar, and had the Knights Templar's global connections, but he also solved the problem of the navy and established a relationship with the Wanderers Alliance Shipyard in Portsmouth, laying the foundation for future cooperation.

The vicious violence in Ajaccio destroyed Qin Zhiyuan's good mood.

Five of the 40 armed patrols died on the spot, 23 were injured to varying degrees, and the rest of the soldiers were in poor condition and needed to rest for a while before they could return to normal.

Jin Taihe, a master of the Six Gates, surveyed the scene. The results showed that the explosives used by the violent elements were about 3 kilograms of black powder, which was not very powerful. Fortunately, the extremists could not get high explosives. If it was three kilograms of T·N·T, it was estimated that few people in the armed patrol would survive.

When he received the report, for a moment, Qin Zhiyuan wanted to follow the method in the "Massacre Order" and randomly capture 50 local Ajaccio people from the vicinity of the attack site to pay for his life.

The extremists in Ajaccio seemed to have put in a lot of effort. The day they chose to launch the attack happened to be the traditional Chinese New Year's Eve. Because of the attack, all planned New Year celebrations were cancelled.

Qin Zhiyuan finally resisted the urge to kill, and he was ready to deal with it in a normal way.

The so-called normal way is to order Hu Tingfeng and Jin Taihe to intensify the pursuit of the extremists on the run without involving innocent Ajaccio people.

Qin Zhiyuan is not a murderer, nor does he believe that killing can be used to rule a city, an island, or even a country. Perhaps Qin Zhiyuan has limited territory now, and using violence can partially solve the problem, but Qin Zhiyuan will always return to China. At that time, as Qin Zhiyuan's power expands, Qin Zhiyuan will have a larger territory. It is not good to develop the habit of relying on violence to solve problems now.

In a way, the attack on the armed patrol is a good thing. Because on the night when the armed patrol was attacked, perhaps because they were afraid that the First Brigade would also use violent means to retaliate, most of the residents who stayed in Ajaccio and had not moved out chose to move away, leaving only a dozen lonely elderly people who were reluctant to leave their hometown and were unwilling to leave Corsica.

For those who are willing to move away, Qin Zhiyuan lets them leave, even if some of those who move away are suspected of crimes, Qin Zhiyuan will not stop them.

As long as these people move away, Corsica will become Qin Zhiyuan's world. It is easy for these people to move away, but it is difficult for them to come back. In fact, the proportion of residents on the island has undergone a subversive change. People related to the First Brigade have become the main residents of Corsica. As long as Qin Zhiyuan is willing, Qin Zhiyuan can now establish a pro-China government on Corsica.

Qin Zhiyuan did so.

After the last batch of more than a dozen lonely elderly people moved into the nursing home set up by Qin Zhiyuan for them, Qin Zhiyuan will order the demolition of the entire Ajaccio city building, even including Napoleon's former residence. He will rebuild a new city here and completely erase all traces left by the French and Genoese in Ajaccio.

Since it is a brand new city, it is a bit inappropriate to use the name Ajaccio. Qin Zhiyuan flipped through the dictionary in his hand but couldn't find a suitable name until one day he heard Micha teaching Geraldine to speak Greek, so he suddenly had an idea and simply called the new city Thunder. And the new city in the north of Corsica, where Bastia used to be, is called Trident.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to build a new port, Qin Zhiyuan wanted to expand the ports of Thunder City and Trident City so that they could berth large ships. But after seeking Pierre's opinion, Qin Zhiyuan gave up this idea.

If the French government discovers that the ports on Corsica have certain military potential, it will inevitably improve the status of Corsica in France. Once the French government requisitions these ports as military ports, Qin Zhiyuan really has no reason to refuse.

Then leave the dock alone. Anyway, for the destroyers that Qin Zhiyuan wants to buy, the draft depth is within three meters, and there is no problem at all to berth in the current port.

Urban construction requires a large number of manpower, so Qin Zhiyuan sent a telegram to Huang Bohan, asking Huang Bohan to immediately start the immigration plan.

This plan was agreed upon by Qin Zhiyuan and Huang Bohan to deal with the Beiyang government's plan to cut off the firewood. Although Qin Zhiyuan and Qin Yunpeng have now reached an agreement on the terms and partially solved the Beiyang government's problems, Qin Zhiyuan must be on guard against the Beiyang government's old tricks.

Huang Bohan now obeys Qin Zhiyuan's orders. After all, Qin Zhiyuan is Huang Bohan's last resort. Huang Bohan has completely boarded Qin Zhiyuan's warship. Speaking of boarding the ship, poor Huang Bohan and Huang Jinsheng have been on the sea for more than a month, but they have not arrived in Borneo.

There is no way, the Far East is too far from Europe.

Far East, Far East, how can it not be far.

Although arrangements have been made, Qin Zhiyuan has no time to watch the plan become a reality bit by bit. Old Renault sent a telegram to summon Qin Zhiyuan from Corsica to Paris.

Qin Zhiyuan took a speedboat back to France from Corsica. This speedboat uses a diesel engine as an engine and can run at a speed of nearly 40 knots, which is much faster than submarines under the sea. In addition, it is a small target and does not have much attack value, but it is relatively safe.

Entering the waters near the port of Marseille, the speedboat Qin Zhiyuan took was inspected by the French Navy. The port of Marseille was extremely busy during this period, with a large number of merchant ships entering and leaving, and merchant ships waiting to unload at the dock lined up in a long queue. The Allies were preparing for the spring offensive, and a large amount of supplies had to be transported from Marseille to the French mainland. This place has become the most important blood transfusion channel for France.

After waiting for a long time, it was Qin Zhiyuan's turn to dock the speedboat. After landing, they waited for another day before boarding the train to Paris, which was actually a carriage attached to a freight train.

It was good not to have to squeeze with those canned goods. This was the treatment Qin Zhiyuan had as a general. It was February and the snow was falling heavily. Qin Zhiyuan didn't want to run wildly in the snowy night. Even if Qin Zhiyuan could bear it, I'm afraid Misha couldn't bear it.

It was late at night when he arrived in Paris. Old Renault sent someone to wait at the station and took Qin Zhiyuan directly to the Big Weaver Restaurant.

The doors and windows of the Big Weaver Restaurant were closed and the lights were dim. From the outside, it looked like any other closed shop without any abnormality.

Qin Zhiyuan was born as a special agent. As soon as he got off the car, he keenly felt that there were at least ten people around him staring at him, which made Qin Zhiyuan subconsciously feel a chill in his heart.

Could it be that the French were going to take action against him because of the Corsica incident?
