Expedition to Europe

In Europe, as long as you like, you can really buy an island to satisfy your king addiction.

Of course, Qin Zhiyuan definitely didn’t buy the island to satisfy his king addiction, but to have a transit station, or a logistics base.

As Qin Zhiyuan’s strength becomes stronger and stronger, Qin Zhiyuan needs a logistics base to provide security for the entire Chinese Legion. This is not to occupy land or even grab territory, but there is a practical need.

Qin Zhiyuan can foresee that the First Brigade may not return to Capi for a long time, so Capi’s camp will be abandoned. The Bois de Boulogne is not suitable as a base. It is too close to Paris, and every move cannot be concealed. The French Army Department may not be assured of leaving a foreign legion troop near their capital for a long time.

Although the French government agencies have moved to Bordeaux.

Qin Zhiyuan now has a lot of secrets, including the machines he got from old Renault and the laboratory that will be established soon. These things are not suitable for public disclosure. Qin Zhiyuan must have a stable and confidential place to hide all of this.

In France, if you want to buy an island, it is best to find old Renault. With old Renault's identity, let alone buying an island, even if he buys the whole of Paris, as long as old Renault can afford it, the French will be happy to see it happen.

Qin Zhiyuan is different. Qin Zhiyuan is an oriental. What he wants to do in France will inevitably make people imagine.

"You know, there are some things that I don't want too many people to know, such as the batch of scrap steel you sold to me last time. It has not been shipped yet and is piled up on the dock in Marseille. This is very unsafe. I want to find a place to stay." Qin Zhiyuan said half true and half false.

The batch of machines is still in Marseille. Because they can't find a suitable ship, they have not been transported away. Fortunately, Huang Fugui is in Marseille, and Huang Fugui can handle these small matters. In fact, because of Huang Fugui's identity as a businessman, it is more appropriate than Hu Weide to come forward.

"If it is just a place to stay, is this not suitable?" Old Renault smiled.

"If I pile those scrap steel here, do you think it is suitable?" Qin Zhiyuan asked back.

Regarding the scrap steel, Qin Zhiyuan and Old Renault are grasshoppers on the same rope. If they really make a big fuss, they will lose face. It is better to keep a low profile.

"Okay, okay, I will ask for you, but don't hold too much hope. I am afraid that you can't find a big place. The ones that can be sold are all islands and reefs, and the area will not be too large." Old Renault agreed to help.

"Great, thank you very much." Qin Zhiyuan was satisfied.

As long as Old Renault agrees to help, it's fine. What kind of specifics can be found is another matter. Qin Zhiyuan just wants to deepen his relationship with Old Renault through this cooperative relationship. Renault Group plays an important role in France. They not only have complete military factories, but also automobile factories, aircraft factories, and now even a steel plant. The industrial system is more complete than that of many countries in the world, and it has exploded several streets in the new Republic of China.

It is of great significance for Qin Zhiyuan to have a good relationship with old Renault.

After sending old Renault away, Qin Zhiyuan drove to pick up Julie.

On the way, Qin Zhiyuan picked a few wild flowers...

Well, it's winter now, there are no wild flowers, Qin Zhiyuan bought them from a family's garden.

After Foch moved to Paris, he lived in a villa assigned by the Army Department, which is not far from Qin Zhiyuan's Black Swan Castle. Who makes the air here fresh?

The villa assigned by the Army Department is of course incomparable to the castle Qin Zhiyuan bought with money, but fortunately the security is pretty good, and there are guards stationed on the road leading to the villa area.

Qin Zhiyuan called Julie through the phone in the guard room.

After a while, Julie's voice came from the phone: "Qin, I'm afraid you have to come over. Annie wants to see you."

Annie is Julie's mother. Qin Zhiyuan has heard of her for a long time, but he has never met her.

"Okay, wait for me." Qin Zhiyuan took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

An ugly daughter-in-law will inevitably meet her parents-in-law, and the same is true for foreign sons-in-law. Qin Zhiyuan has met Foch, and the meeting was not pleasant. I don't know how Annie will treat Qin Zhiyuan. I hope she won't chase him with a feather duster. Qin Zhiyuan doesn't want to embarrass himself in Paris.

Along the deep forest path, Qin Zhiyuan drove to Foch's house quickly, and Julie was waiting by the roadside.

Seeing Qin Zhiyuan coming, Julie ran over happily. Qin Zhiyuan took a bouquet of flowers and greeted him: "For you, my princess."

"Don't give it to me. I'm not the one you want to please today." Julie took Qin Zhiyuan's arm and began to inform him: "Anne is a strict but kind person. She likes to be well-organized and do things steadily, so you should talk less, listen more, and try to leave a good impression. Fortunately, Dad is at home today. You have won Dad's trust. Dad and I will speak for you."

What an outgoing girl!

Qin Zhiyuan nodded repeatedly like a chicken licking rice, and did not forget to greet people: "Gary, are you okay? Gordon, you look really energetic today. Colvin, I didn't expect you to be here too."

Gary and Gordon are both Foch's secretaries, and Qin Zhiyuan has known them for a long time. Colvin is Foch's chief of staff, with the rank of major general. After Nivelle came to power, Colvin was implicated by Foch and was exiled to the Ministry of the Army. These people are all Foch's direct descendants, and they are all very kind to Qin Zhiyuan.

Though he failed to get what he wanted through the competition for the commander-in-chief of the French army, Qin Zhiyuan has won the new position of Foch's family, which is a pleasant surprise.

"Are you Qin?" Anne was knitting a sweater and looked at Qin Zhiyuan expressionlessly.

This work was organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

"Yes, I am Qin Zhiyuan, and I am glad to meet you, Madam." Qin Zhiyuan presented a bouquet of flowers.

"Aha, what beautiful flowers." Foch exclaimed exaggeratedly.

"I'll find a vase to put them in. Qin, you sit down first. What do you want to drink?" Julie started to work.

"Boiled water is fine, thank you." Qin Zhiyuan was not polite.

Anne looked at Foch and Julie and shook her head speechlessly. Foch seemed to have completed his task after speaking, and picked up the newspaper and read it by himself, but judging from the degree of his ears, he was obviously paying attention to this side.

"Qin, what is your family situation like?" Anne got straight to the point.

"Well... my father died many years ago, before I was born. He was a navy officer and was buried with his beloved battleship. My mother chose to commit suicide after giving birth to me, following my father. Now my family situation... I am the only one left." Qin Zhiyuan organized his words and decided to tell the truth.

"God..." Julie sat next to Qin Zhiyuan and held Qin Zhiyuan's hand to give him warmth.

"Oh... what a pity!" Anne looked at Qin Zhiyuan with a little more sympathy.

Because of Foch, Anne's family is basically all soldiers, and two of them have died for the country. Anne empathizes with Qin Zhiyuan's pain.

"So, when the war is over, what are you going to do? Will you choose to stay in France?" Anne asked.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, I'm afraid I won't. Although I am alone, I still have my people and my comrades. After the war is over, I will return to the Far East and continue to work hard for my people to have a better life." Qin Zhiyuan did not hide it.

"Return to the Far East? Then what about Lily?" Annie put down the half-knitted sweater in her hand and said sternly.

Yes, what about Julie after the war? Qin Zhiyuan finally had to face this problem.
