From 1830 to 1917, the French ruled Algeria for more than eighty years. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

During these 80 years, the French policy of rule over Algeria has been changing, with a policy of colonial repression, a policy of assimilation, and a policy of softness.

The reason why it changes so frequently is also related to the political turmoil in France itself.

Over the past 80 years, France has gone through the July Dynasty, the Second Republic, the Second Empire, and now the Third Republic.

Look, the French are really liberal, and they come every 20 years on average with a big uprising to overthrow the existing government.

With such frequent political upheavals, it was naturally impossible to maintain a consistent colonial policy.

Thus, even though France formally occupied Algeria for more than 80 years, it never really occupied the land.

The "naturalization" policy pursued by the French still had a certain effect, and after decades of tireless efforts, there were indeed some Algerians who recognized the French rule over Algeria, and these people were called "Haggis" by the aborigines, who were cooperative with the Doge's Palace, not only actively participated in the administration of the colony, but also joined the Foreign Legion and shed blood for France.

This is also the reason why Qin Zhiyuan couldn't do anything to those women and children outside the headquarters a few days ago.

Those people are actually the family members of the "Haggis", and if Qin Zhiyuan uses violent means to forcibly disperse them, it may trigger an Algerian version of the "mutiny", a consequence that even Qin Zhiyuan cannot bear.

The corresponding to the "Haggis" is a section of Algerian nationalists, who have now formed their own parties and put forward their own political demands.

These people emphasized religion, language, and national pride to the people, and believed that the "haggis" who collaborated with the French should be apologized, and declared: We do not want to assimilate, assimilation is impossible, because it would make us lose our individuality.

But at the same time, these nationalists are not demanding full independence, because they are not strong enough to defend their independence, they are demanding that Algeria become a democracy under the protection of France.

See, that's the truth, a standard "farmer and snake" story.

The Algerians have their own problems, and the French have an inescapable responsibility.

The biggest problem of the French is that they did not turn Algerians into French, and Algerian fetishism played a key role in this process, which is why Qin Zhiyuan advocated "religious freedom".

Qin Zhiyuan didn't want to comment on the French government's own problems, he, the commander-in-chief of the Foreign Legion, didn't know how long he could do it, and he couldn't make a big deal about it.

Qin Zhiyuan wanted to do an experiment with Sidi Belle Abbas.

You must know that the Republic of China is also a multi-ethnic country, and Qin Zhiyuan wants to try his governing level through Sidi Bel Abbas, so as to make some preparations for returning to the Republic of China in the future.

With Qin Zhiyuan's current strength, after returning to the Republic of China, it is not a problem to be a provincial overseer, and even work hard, maybe there will be a chance to win the presidential palace, and it is necessary to familiarize himself with government affairs in advance.

So when the first black mercenaries from Senegal arrived in Sidi Bel Abbas, the Foreign Legion resumed its patrols and started trading with the locals, and Sidi Bel Abbas gradually returned to normal.

It's just what it seems.

In order to attract Africans to join the Foreign Legion, Qin Zhiyuan made a proposal to Congress: as long as he served France for five years, he could exchange French citizenship.

The proposal was quickly adopted and then disseminated throughout Africa.

The French are now eager to send all women into battle, they are now not qualified to choose, as long as there are people who are willing to join the army and shed their blood for France, the French do not care about their faith and skin color.

The temptation to become a French citizen is not too great for Africans.

In France now, there are not so many social benefits.

It seems that the life of ordinary French people is not much better than that of Senegalese and Algerians.

This is also the fundamental reason why the "assimilation" of Algerians by the French has not been successful, if it is in the 21st century, which is a good social welfare, it is estimated that Algerians will not be able to wait to be assimilated, and Senegalese will not secede from France.

In the end, it's all about profit.

Even without the temptation of French citizenship, the treatment of the Foreign Legion is very good. An ordinary soldier of the Foreign Legion, their daily salary is about 10 francs, which is actually enough to support the life of a family, which is still very tempting for Africans.

By the end of September, the Foreign Legion had six regiments of soldiers, four Senegalese infantry and two Moroccan infantry.

The soldiers began to train almost as soon as they arrived at Sidi Bel Abbas, and the instructors were the officer corps brought by Qin Zhiyuan, and the original instructors at the headquarters of the Foreign Legion were temporarily suspended, and they had to be trained before they could return to serve as instructors.

In other words, the original instructors of the Foreign Legion headquarters are now also students of the Chinese instructors.

There is a reason why Qin Zhiyuan did not let the previous instructors continue to engage in training, as an agent from PLA, Qin Zhiyuan has too many reasons to look down on the French army.

In fact, whether it is for the soldiers of the Foreign Legion or for the soldiers of the French army, the work of a soldier is just a job, and there is not much special meaning in it, except that it is more dangerous, and the nature of the rest of the work is similar to that of fishermen who go to sea every day.

It is no wonder that such a unit trained by the idea of army building can have combat effectiveness.

The training of the Foreign Legion is also very strange, when Qin Zhiyuan and they looked at the previous training plan, Qin Zhiyuan and they were shocked to find that the daily training volume of the Foreign Legion is about half a morning's training volume of the Chinese army, and even similar to the training volume of the Boy Scouts on Corsica, which is far from meeting the requirements of training a strong army.

It was also after Qin Zhiyuan arrived at Sidi Belle Abbas that he found out that there was actually a service club in the headquarters of the Foreign Legion.

This service was actually a brothel within the French army.

Military prostitutes!

It's powerful! Although it is already the 20th century, it is really jaw-dropping that military prostitutes still appear in the barracks in such a grand manner.

After asking Marco, Qin Zhiyuan finally understood the reason for setting up the service club.

The reason is very simple, it is to let these soldiers vent their excess energy.

It is better to vent in a service than to vent on civilians outside the barracks.

Here's how Marco explains.

But in Qin Zhiyuan's opinion, Marko's explanation is pure nonsense, how can a soldier have extra energy? According to the training methods of the Chinese troops, these soldiers of the Foreign Legion would be exhausted every day, and by the time they went to bed, they were often half exhausted to death, and there was no extra energy to vent to the service club.

Since he knew that something was wrong, Qin Zhiyuan immediately abolished the service agency.

Although this is contrary to the tradition of the French army, Qin Zhiyuan is still unwilling to keep the service club, which is nothing to say, a matter of principle.

Although Qin Zhiyuan didn't mind that these soldiers of the Foreign Legion had become playboys, after all, there were still many Chinese instructors living here during this time, and Qin Zhiyuan didn't want these Chinese instructors to be taken badly.

Qin Zhiyuan's troops are now hard and simple, but they are still reliable in terms of self-improvement, at least the Chinese troops are not a stallion army, and they will not be unable to control their belts and show mercy everywhere.

When the Senegalese arrived in Sidi Bel Abbas, all the tasks of dealing with the locals were handed over to the Senegalese, and a police station composed mainly of Berbers was being formed.

Using minorities to manage the majority is one of Qin Zhiyuan's ideas.

In this case, the contradiction between the indigenous people and the suzerainty may evolve into a contradiction between the minority and the majority within the indigenous people. The colonial authorities, on the other hand, would step back from the front line and deal with the conflicts between the inhabitants in a detached manner.

The image of the mediator is clearly more conducive to the administration of the colonial authorities.

This is actually the usual method of the British.

The British were best at sowing discord among the various ethnic groups in the colonies, dividing the colonists, supporting the smaller factions or factions, and attacking the more populous factions, and the British played the role of mediators in the process. In this way, if both the minority and the majority want to gain the upper hand in the struggle, they must rely on cooperation with the colonial authorities to gain the upper hand.

This is the British's forte.

In fact, not only in the colonies, but also in Britain on the European continent, if the Germans seemed to be stronger on the continent, the British would co-opt the French to suppress the Germans, and vice versa.

The British could not allow the birth of a united Europe that would jeopardize the interests of Britain beyond the continent.

The global colonial leaders still have two hands on colonization.

Qin Zhiyuan now wants to learn all kinds of experiences, whether it is positive or dark and shameless, as long as it is effective, it can be used by me.

There is not so much morality between countries, and this is a world where heroes are judged by success or failure.

Supporting the minority and cracking down on the majority will inevitably provoke a strong backlash from the majority, especially on the premise that the majority has already been initially organized.

So in early October, Aishara approached Qin Zhiyuan again and asked Qin Zhiyuan to change the manpower structure of the police station and stop using Senegalese to go out on patrols.

The fetishism of the indigenous people of Algeria is old-fashioned and relatively closed, but the little blacks from Senegal are naturally out of character, and it is rare for the two peoples to mix together and not cause trouble.
