Qin Zhiyuan is not afraid of things getting out of hand.

The bigger the matter, the more beneficial it is to Qin Zhiyuan.

In fact, in the car behind Qin Zhiyuan, Lance and Philip were nervously recording. They were invited by Qin Zhiyuan to follow the First Brigade as military reporters.

Through the hype some time ago, Lance and Philip and Qin Zhiyuan forged a "deep friendship". Qin Zhiyuan has promised that Qin Zhiyuan will still pay for news reports about the First Brigade at a price of 1,000 francs per article.

For Lance and Philip, Qin Zhiyuan is a gold mine. Where Qin Zhiyuan appears, there is never a lack of news. Lance and Philip are truly gaining both fame and fortune.

For Bradris, this feeling is not so good.

In Bradris's eyes, Qin Zhiyuan was just a colonial officer. This statement was not quite accurate. The Republic of China was not a French colony, but in Bradris's eyes, the difference between the two was not great. Bradris really couldn't understand where Qin Zhiyuan got the confidence to shout and kill the French.

The situation did not allow Bradris to think. The soldiers under Qin Zhiyuan had already loaded their guns and might shoot at the next moment.

"Hey, calm down, Qin, calm down!" Bradris raised his hands to indicate that he had no ill intentions.

Maybe Qin Zhiyuan did not dare to order the shooting, but Bradris did not dare to take risks. Qin Zhiyuan was an orientalist. Even if he did not serve the French, Qin Zhiyuan could still return to the East. Bradris was different. If a fight broke out here today, Bradris was sure that his life would be over. Not to mention Nivelle, even Raymond and Briand could not save him together.

Internal strife, no matter what the cause was, was a scandal that could not be bigger.

"I'm not uncalm, Bradlis, you have to understand one thing, it's not 1860, nor 1900, it's 1916. Now it's not you who are attacking our country, but we are helping you. Only by understanding this can we prevent such incidents from happening in the future." Qin Zhiyuan went straight to the core of the problem.

The reason why Qin Zhiyuan acted like this, even at the cost of turning against the French, was to show an attitude.

The Chinese are no longer the Chinese they used to be. If the Chinese are bullied, the Chinese dare to fight back!

"Of course, we are friendly forces now, and this shouldn't have happened." Bradlis felt the difference between Qin Zhiyuan and other Orientals.

"I also hope that you really treat us as friendly forces, not servants or slaves." Qin Zhiyuan emphasized.

"Okay, I can guarantee that similar incidents will not happen in the future." In any case, this incident was the fault of the 45th Division, and Bradlis was brave enough to take responsibility.

So both sides withdrew their troops back to the camp.

Not long after, Bradlis sent two trucks of coal and several barrels of gasoline to show his kindness. Qin Zhiyuan returned the favor and accepted the gifts and gave back a few bottles of Erguotou sent by the embassy, ​​which barely put an end to the matter.

...

Nivelle's office.

Several senior French generals sat in a circle, drinking the wine stored by Nivelle and chatting.

"That Oriental man is very aggressive, he is not weak, if he encounters provocation, he will fight back without hesitation, I am sure of this." Bradelis had a bitter smile on his face, a little embarrassed.

Thinking of the scene in the afternoon, Bradelis felt a little palpitated. If it was not handled well, it would ferment into a large-scale bloodshed. That result would be something that no one wanted to see.

"Bradelis, you are too gentle. At that time, you should have killed a few of those pigs, so that you could control the situation, instead of like now." The new commander of the Second Army, Manjing, was eager to try.

After Nivelle was promoted, Manjing's status also rose. Although public opinion was still one-sidedly unfavorable to Nivelle, it did not prevent Nivelle from exercising his personnel power. Just this afternoon, Nivelle just announced an appointment, transferring his old superior Pétain and Foch, who had a great reputation in the army, to the Ministry of the Army as military advisers to the Ministry of the Army.

"What kind of person is this Qin?" Alfred Michel followed up with a question.

Alfred Michel was also a loyal supporter of Nivelle. After Michel came to power, he was appointed as the commander of the large-scale mobile force, equivalent to the commander-in-chief of the reserve corps.

"How to say it, it's hard to summarize him in words. The only thing that can be determined is that he can't be treated the way you deal with Orientals. He is a rule breaker, and that set is not suitable for him. I think he should be treated the way a true Grand Cross Knight Medal winner is treated." Bradleys has a high opinion of Qin Zhiyuan.

The French Legion of Honor Medal is divided into six levels, and Qin Zhiyuan won the first-class Grand Cross Knight Medal. This is the highest level that ordinary people can get. The highest level of the six levels, the special level, is only used as a symbol of the French head of state, that is, only the French president can get it. Nivelle is now a second-class "Grand Officer", Bradleys and Michel are third-class "Grand Knight", and Mangin is the lowest-level "Knight".

Manjing is the most pitiful. Recently, there is a discussion that Manjing's "knighthood" should be revoked because Manjing, as a notorious "butcher", his performance is really not related to "chivalry".

"Use the attitude of treating the Grand Cross Knight Medal winner? That's impossible. We all know how he got that medal." Nivelle was upset that his medal was not as high as Qin Zhiyuan's.

Qin Zhiyuan was awarded the "Grand Cross Knight Medal" for a complicated reason. There are both the intentions of Britain and France to encourage the Beiyang government to join the war; there is also the intention of establishing a hero in the foreign legion and buying a horse bone with a lot of money; the deeper reason is to express the harmony and unity within the Allied countries and inspire the morale of the people who have gradually fallen into a low ebb.

Although there are various reasons, or Qin Zhiyuan's merits are not worthy of the "Grand Cross Knight Medal", Qin Zhiyuan should now enjoy the glory that a "Grand Cross Knight Medal" winner deserves. Whenever Nivelle thought of this, he felt a burning fire of jealousy in his heart.

"We may know, but those stupid untouchables and cannon fodders don't know. Many people worship that lucky guy as an idol. This should alert us." From Michelle's words, it can be inferred that he is also an arrogant racist, and an extreme racist.

"No matter what he is, he is dead, Bradlis. If I were you, I would sleep until lunch every day." Mankin provoked maliciously.

The 45th Division was ordered to cooperate with the First Brigade in combat. If Bradlis slept until lunch every day, he would definitely not be able to cooperate with the First Brigade in combat in time.

"No, no, no, that would be too obvious and would give others a handle. You know, that guy has a good relationship with the media. If he is treated unfairly, it will definitely be publicized by public opinion with a magnifying glass." Bradlis did not dare to do it too obviously, that would be a way to death.

Everyone was silent. After a long time, Nivelle uttered: "What a lucky guy!"

Lucky?

Maybe!
