Expedition to Europe

As a time traveler, if Qin Zhiyuan bows to the Beiyang government, it will really weaken his reputation as a time traveler.

The leaders of the Beiyang government actually don't care about Qin Zhiyuan now. They are all busy with the power struggle at home and have no time to pay attention to the war in Europe.

When Qin Zhiyuan became famous in Europe, the leaders of the Beiyang government realized that this was a good way to gain reputation.

At this time, the Beiyang government urgently needed the recognition of the international community, and also urgently hoped to wipe out the military separatism in the south as soon as possible, whether in form or in substance, to unify the entire Republic of China.

Originally, the Beiyang government planned to watch the fire from the other side of the river and support Europe by sending Chinese workers, but did not actually participate in the European war.

The appearance of Qin Zhiyuan changed all this. The Beiyang government could not stay out of it, so it simply wanted to control Qin Zhiyuan's troops in its hands to avoid unexpected factors.

What the Beiyang government didn't expect was that Qin Zhiyuan had such a strong control over the troops, and Qin Zhiyuan reacted so violently to the Beiyang government's seizure of power.

Since things have come to this, the Beiyang government simply set up a new mountain.

Qin Zhiyuan, you are famous, so you are famous. I can't afford to provoke you, but I can avoid you. As long as there are people, how can I be afraid of not having an army?

Qin Zhiyuan was not surprised by the Beiyang government's response. In fact, Qin Zhiyuan believed that the Beiyang government's means were still moderate. If it really was a fight to the death, Qin Zhiyuan would probably have suffered a violent attack now.

Violent attacks are assassinations or assassinations. This kind of means is played by both Orientals and Westerners.

Since the founding of the Republic of China, there have been Song Jiaoren and Zhao Bingjun in the East, who are all big figures, and there are countless small figures. More people died in assassinations or stabbings in the West. In the 20 years before 1914, the leaders of various countries who were assassinated included the President of the United States, the President of France, the President of Mexico, the President of Guatemala, the President of Uruguay, and the President of the Dominican Republic. The countries where the prime ministers were assassinated include: Russia, Spain, Greece, Egypt, Bulgaria, and Persia. The countries where royal family members were assassinated include: Austria, Italy, Serbia, Portugal, and Greece.

I also forgot one thing. The fuse of the First World War was the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand and his wife.

Assassinations occurred so frequently that people classified this method as a normal way to seize power, which is really speechless.

Qin Zhiyuan also responded to the Beiyang government's behavior of cutting off the source of funds.

The most intuitive countermeasure was the batch of machines in Marseille. Those machines had already found ships and could be shipped to the Far East as long as they were loaded. Qin Zhiyuan ordered to change the course and dock the ship in Semarang, Borneo, instead of going to Tianjin.

Not long after the order was issued, Qin Zhiyuan received a call from Hu Weide.

"General Qin, what are you going to do?" Hu Wei De's anxiety could be felt through the phone line.

"What do you mean I want to do? President Li and Premier Duan can do it on the first day, so why can't I do it on the fifteenth?" Qin Zhiyuan retorted.

"You? General Qin, don't fight for your own feelings. Premier Duan has his own difficulties in doing this. General Qin, your relationship with the French military is so stiff now. Premier Duan has made some policy adjustments for the sake of overall consideration. As long as General Qin can ease the relationship with the French military, Premier Duan will definitely give you justice. Please rest assured, General Qin." Hu Wei De comforted him kindly.

"French military? Just Nivelle? Do you think that guy who got to the top because of his good-looking head can represent the French military?" Qin Zhiyuan was disappointed with Hu Wei De's political sense.

"General Qin, no matter how the French do, this is their internal affairs. We have no right to interfere or comment. We want to have a good relationship with the French government, not with a certain person." Hu Wei De has his own opinion.

"The French pay more attention to standing in line, which is different in China. Our set of "moderation" ideas does not work in France. The French do not know Confucius." Qin Zhiyuan patiently explained.

"Whether the French know Confucius is their business. We don't care about this. We want to have a good relationship with the French government. We should not let personal likes and dislikes affect the overall situation. General Qin, you are not an ordinary Chinese worker now. You should consider the overall situation." Hu Wei De also sounded disappointed.

From the choice of words, we can see the difference between Qin Zhiyuan and Hu Wei De. Qin Zhiyuan used to receive special agent training. The national interest is supreme. He can sacrifice everything for the national interest. On the premise of ensuring the national interest, Qin Zhiyuan does not mind being criticized for "interfering in the internal affairs of other countries." Hu Wei De received a traditional education, and the "moderation" thought dominated. As long as there was a profit to be made, he didn't care who the partner was.

"Since you have chosen one side, you must continue to cooperate firmly, so that there is still a chance to make a comeback. If you change your side now, not only will you be regarded as a double-faced person, but you will also offend the party you have already made good friends with, which is not worth the loss." Qin Zhiyuan was realistic.

When faced with a problem, you will be timid and want to please both sides, and you will often end up with a situation where you can't please both sides. Qin Zhiyuan has seen many such examples in another time and space.

"How do you know there will be a chance to make a comeback? What if Foch is unable to recover? Are we just going to watch the national interests suffer?" Hu Wei De was anxious and directly named the name.

"Okay, then tell me, how did our national interests suffer?" Qin Zhiyuan's voice gradually became cold.

Let's not talk about the future. For now, Qin Zhiyuan has already gained far more than in another time and space. In another time and space, the Beiyang government wanted to please both sides, but ended up with nothing and lost power and humiliated the country.

"If we don't get what we should get, then the national interests are damaged." Hu Wei De paused for a moment, and then said ambiguously.

"Then tell me, what should we get?" Qin Zhiyuan didn't let it go.

"The key issue is not what we can get now, but what we can get in the future. If we can't get the benefits we deserve when we win in the future because of the stalemate with the French military, then won't the national interests be damaged?" Hu Wei De argued with a lot of reasons, talking about the future with countless possibilities.

"What will happen in the future? Who can say? Can you be sure that the French can win now? What if they lose?" Since it's about the future, Qin Zhiyuan's imagination is open.

"General Qin, we shouldn't make rash judgments about the future that hasn't happened yet." Hu Wei De began to talk nonsense.

"Damn, don't talk nonsense to me here. If the country doesn't give me an explanation, don't even think about letting me get anything back. I won't send even a bullet back." Qin Zhiyuan issued an ultimatum.

When a general is away from home, he will not obey the orders of the king.
