Expedition to Europe

It can be said that Qin Zhiyuan had anticipated the current situation since the day France opened up naturalization.

It must be said that Qin Zhiyuan was responsible for this.

In the vast areas of ****** and Libya in North Africa, as well as Egypt, the Brotherhood Alliance led by Yang Deshan is becoming more and more powerful.

Although Yang Deshan is a Persian in name, he has strict restrictions on Persianism, especially in terms of prayer. As early as when the Brotherhood Alliance only had one foothold in Ghadames, Yang Deshan began to simplify religious procedures. No matter how devout Persian believers are, the number of prayers per day is strictly limited to one, the time must be before sunrise, and the prayer process must not exceed ten minutes.

Indeed, many people are dissatisfied with the strict regulations of the Brotherhood Alliance, believing that the Brotherhood Alliance's practice is a betrayal of Persianism and a blasphemy against the "Lord".

Yang Deshan does not care about any opposition. If he wants to survive in the Brotherhood Alliance's territory, he must perform religious ceremonies in accordance with the regulations of the Brotherhood Alliance, otherwise he must either get out of the Brotherhood Alliance's territory or accept the trial of the religious court.

Yang Deshan has a religious court in his hands, and the judges are all people with higher status in the Persian religion. It is most appropriate for them to interpret the doctrine.

It is very interesting that the lower the social status, the more they insist on religious traditions. On the contrary, the vested interests with higher status do not care much. They do whatever Yang Deshan asks, and basically have no resistance.

The Brotherhood Alliance's territory is getting bigger and bigger, which means that the lives of those devout Persians are getting harder and harder, and their living space is getting smaller and smaller. When the Brotherhood Alliance began to get involved in the Gharyan oil field, large-scale immigration began to emerge. In order to avoid the "alienation" of the Brotherhood Alliance, many Persians chose to immigrate to France to find freedom.

The French government did give freedom to those Persians. In fact, North Africa has always been in a semi-feudal and semi-slave society. France is indeed much freer than North Africa.

At this point, we have to mention "democracy". One of the manifestations of "democracy" is that everyone has the right to vote, and this "vote" is the basic condition for determining whether a political party can come to power. So the problem now is that although many people in France have discovered the problem, everyone keeps silent because no one wants to offend these Persians. Offending them is equivalent to giving up this part of the votes, which may lead to a total loss in the general election.

Compared with coming to power, these are just minor problems.

Even Pierre would not do this.

Bastien's distress is here. Bastien is unlikely to run for president, so Bastien can point out the problem unscrupulously, but as a soldier, Bastien's words have no effect in the political world, which is really desperate.

While Bastien was chattering, Qin Zhiyuan had already roasted the rabbit. The golden rabbit was "sizzling" and shiny, and people couldn't help but have a great appetite.

Qin Zhiyuan didn't wait for Bastien, and cut the rabbit into two by himself. He put Bastien's half on the plate he brought, and ate it with a little wine.

Bastien was so angry that his head was a little fuming: "I said, can't you help me with something?"

Qin Zhiyuan is an omnipotent "god" in Bastien's heart. This description may be a bit blasphemous, but it is true.

When Qin Zhiyuan first arrived in France, his status was far inferior to Bastien, who was already a major at the time. Bastien even knew Qin Zhiyuan earlier than Pierre. It can be said that Bastien watched step by step how Qin Zhiyuan joined the Foreign Legion, how he rose to prominence, how he created "LLL" and "United Petroleum", and how he became the King of Lanfang--

In Bastien's heart, Qin Zhiyuan is not an "angel" at all. Qin Zhiyuan is God himself wearing the uniform of the Foreign Legion.

"What can I say? You have served as the Governor-General of Indochina, and you know how I treated the Persians. The problem is that you can't replicate this in France unless you are the President of France now. This is the crux of the problem." What else can Qin Zhiyuan say? There are ways to solve the problem, but it is impossible to achieve it in France, so Qin Zhiyuan can only watch Bastien suffer.

"Fuck!" Bastien stopped talking nonsense, picked up the roasted rabbit and bit it hard, and slammed the plate in his hand heavily on the stone beside him.

After Bastien finished eating, Qin Zhiyuan lit a cigar leisurely, and then said slowly: "If you want to solve the problem of the Persians, you can't rely on yourself. You must have political allies, more allies. Only when you work together can you curb the spread of Stan."

"Of course I have allies, Pierre, we have been." Bastien is not stupid, otherwise Bastien would not have climbed so fast.

When Qin Zhiyuan left France, he transferred all his shares in "LLL" to Pierre. "LLL" was co-founded by Qin Zhiyuan and the Bastien brothers, so Pierre and the Bastien brothers have always had a very good relationship over the years.

"That means you need more. Of course you support Pierre, but you know how much support you have." Qin Zhiyuan was dissatisfied. If the Bastien brothers fully supported Pierre, Pierre should be doing better now.

Bastian is now in a high position, and Bastian's brother Bruno should not be underestimated. Bruno is now the logistics minister of the French military, which is equivalent to the steward of all the French military. This position is very important, even more important than Bastian's. Stian, the deputy minister and the commander of the Foreign Legion, is even more important.

If the Bastian brothers fully support Pierre, then Pierre will have more advantages in next year's election. This is not difficult for the Bastian brothers to do. After all, Pierre has the military Background, and Foch, the deified father, if all the soldiers and their families support Pierre, then Pierre has a great chance of winning.

"Soldiers cannot interfere in politics, and we are closely watched." Bastian also has difficulties.

This matter is a bit depressing to talk about. Pierre is from the military, so it is natural to receive the support of the military. However, given the premise that "soldiers are not allowed to interfere in politics," Bastian and the others cannot be too blatant.

In France, soldiers do not have the right to vote. The French Constitution of 1875 stipulates that neither women nor soldiers have the right to vote. This is to prevent military leaders from coming to power and implementing military dictatorship. After all, it is easy for military generals to manipulate soldiers to commit fraud. of.

Of course, this provision also violates the legitimate rights and interests of soldiers and women. Especially for women, the discrimination is obvious.

"Don't tell me this. Of course you don't have the right to vote. If you don't take the initiative to fight for it, sooner or later you will become a group of war machines." Qin Zhiyuan looks down on France's hypocritical democracy. It sounds good, but in fact it has many disadvantages.

"Then what should we do?" Bastian was confused. From his heart, Bastian certainly hoped that Pierre would be elected. That would be the spring of the French military.

"Don't go into battle shirtless. Go find Henry. Henry will find a way." Qin Zhiyuan pointed out a clear way to Bastian.

Henri-Philippe Pétain was the greatest tragic figure in modern French history. Pétain was once a national hero, but during World War II, Pétain lost his integrity that night and cooperated with Mustache, becoming the sinner of France.

There is no other way, as Pétain said: There is always someone responsible for France.

The situation in France at that time did not allow Pétain to choose to cooperate with Mustache as the "head of state". At least he could maintain effective communication with Mustache, which was beneficial to France at the time.

After Foch faded out of the French military, Pétain became the first person in the French military. Currently, Pétain serves as the vice chairman of the French Supreme Military Council and also serves as director of the French Army. If there is an individual who can represent all French military Make a sound, then this person must be Pétain.

"Henry? He doesn't have time - Henry has recently been discussing with the minister whether to build a Great Wall on the border to deal with possible wars in the future. He has no time to pay attention to these things." Bastian said about the "Great Wall" At that time, the tone was very contemptuous.

Of course, this "Great Wall" is not the Great Wall of the Republic of China, but the famous "Maginot Line".

In 1919, just after the end of the World War, France began to study border defense issues. The purpose of setting up the "Maginot Line" was very clear, which was to avoid a surprise attack by the Germans and at the same time issue an alarm to buy enough time for the mobilization of the French army.

The historical "Maginot Line" cost 5 billion francs and effectively protected the Franco-German border. However, due to the opposition of the Belgians, the "Maginot Line" did not include the Franco-Belgian border, which laid hidden dangers for future tragedies.

"The Great Wall - does the government have the economic strength now?" Qin Zhiyuan was a little confused. What could he do with 5 billion francs? Why would he want to build such a thing on the border? It can only be said that Pétain's head was filled with mush.

Not only Pétain, but also France's current Minister of War, Mr. Maginot, is also confused. Building the Maginot Line will consume more than half of the national defense budget. With this fund, wouldn't it be better to use it to form several armored divisions? ?

There are more than just a few. If the cost of setting up an armored division is based on Lanfang, 5 billion francs can form nearly forty armored divisions, including all armored vehicles and auxiliary vehicles. This is a disruptive force at this time.

If France has forty armored divisions, it will be useless to build the "Maginot Line". If war breaks out again, the French will just drive their tanks and bulldoze Berlin.
