Expedition to Europe

(Thanks to brother sekisushi for the monthly ticket encouragement, brother 々光々 for the reward encouragement, and all the brothers who subscribed and voted.)

In the 21st century, China's attitude towards religion is not to encourage or prevent it.

It seems to be doing nothing, but this is an attitude in itself.

Qin Zhiyuan has always liked the "freedom of religious belief" policy, which is really mysterious, especially when it is explained in Chinese.

In fact, all religions like to use some consistent statements to tie believers firmly to their carriages, and try to let their believers use loyalty to influence the people around them, and then pull everyone into their churches, mosques, or main halls.

Even Confucianism is like this, and the famous saying "once a teacher, a father for life" comes from this.

But if you use freedom of religious belief as the sword of Damocles of a sect, you will find that everything is a false proposition.

Freedom of belief means that you can believe whenever you want, and no one can force you.

Freedom of belief means that you can not believe whenever you want, and no one can force you.

Freedom of belief means that you can go to church in the morning and burn incense in the afternoon, and no one can interfere.

Freedom of belief means that you can have no belief in any sect for your whole life, until the day before you die, even if you just find a sect to join, no matter whether it is the Eastern God or the Western angel, it cannot stop the believers from going to the Western Paradise or going to heaven.

In this way, you can fully understand why the religions in another time and space hate China so much.

Think about it, one-fifth of the world's population has the possibility to convert to this sect, but they have never been able to do it. I guess they can't rest in peace even after death.

Qin Zhiyuan explained to Old Renault in detail what "freedom of religious belief" means.

"Are you going to form your own sect?" Old Renault couldn't understand.

"Forming your own sect is bullshit, you have to know that I am not a Protestant. As the Grand Master of the Knights Templar, I must uphold the glory of the Lord." Qin Zhiyuan said righteously.

"You may be the most shameless Grand Master in history. I really don't know where you will lead the Knights Templar..." Old Renault was dumbfounded.

People are contradictory. Before this, old Renault was worried that the Knights Templar would lead Qin Zhiyuan astray. But now old Renault found that he thought too much. If Qin Zhiyuan didn't lead the Knights Templar astray, it would be as if Benedict XV had burned incense.

Sin, sin, you don't need to burn incense to believe in Christ.

"I don't know whether the previous grand masters have shame or not. What I care more about is when can I get the 100 tanks that Clemenceau said." Qin Zhiyuan really wants it.

Qin Zhiyuan knows how to use tanks. This thing can only be combat-effective if it is used in a concentrated manner as a large-scale assault force. If three or two appear on the battlefield, it can only help the Germans train gunners. Qin Zhiyuan now has only six tanks in his hands. If it is only used to train the infantry-tank coordination of the troops, it is okay, but if you want to form an effective assault force, it is beyond his ability.

If there are 100 tanks, Qin Zhiyuan can form an armored regiment. In this way, Qin Zhiyuan will have an assault force in his hands.

"We have tanks and they are currently in production. The monthly output is about 100. We are now preparing for the second factory. If it goes into production smoothly, the production capacity can be further increased. If you want tanks, I have no problem with you, but I'm afraid it's not that easy. Lyautey's words don't count, and Clemenceau's words don't count. Unless Clemenceau becomes the Prime Minister of France, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to get what you want." Old Renault was not optimistic.

Lyautey and Nivelle did not get along, and he did not get along with Briand. He was quite frustrated as the Minister of the Army. In another time and space, Lyautey only served as the Minister of the Army for three months. He resigned and returned to Morocco because he could not stand the criticism of right-wingers.

There is a distinction between the left and the right in the French government. This distinction originated during the French Revolution. At the Constitutional Convention at that time, the liberal senators composed of the third class, such as citizens and farmers, sat on the left side of the rostrum, and the second class composed of aristocrats sat on the right side. This seating arrangement formed the distinction between the left and the right in the future.

Both the right and the left pursue equality at the starting point, but the left emphasizes the individual more, believing that the country should give every citizen a chance, respect individuality, and emphasize equality. The right believes in the "heroic view of history", believing that history is created by heroes, and that poverty can only come from one's own low quality, laziness, and incompetence, and cannot be blamed on other factors. The right advocates a small government and a big society, reducing government intervention and macroeconomic regulation in the economy, and solving unemployment and social problems by reducing taxes, reducing public welfare, and stimulating investment. The right believes that the more welfare there is, the more dependent people are, and the worse their enterprising spirit is. Social welfare is essentially encouraging laziness and combating diligence.

It seems that Lyothe and Clemenceau should not be able to get along, because it is well known that Clemenceau has right-wing tendencies. But the fact is so unexpected that Clemenceau does tend to the right, but he does not oppose the left.

Regarding the left and the right, Clemenceau has a famous saying, which roughly means: If a person does not believe in left-wing thought when he is young, his soul is sick; if a person still believes in left-wing thought when he is middle-aged, his mind is sick!

If this sentence is translated into Chinese, it roughly means: If you are not an angry young man before the age of 30, then this person has no conscience; if you are still an angry young man after the age of 30, then this person is a middle-aged idiot.

Qin Zhiyuan is not yet 30 years old, so Qin Zhiyuan is also an angry young man in his bones.

"So, should we find a way to get Clemenceau to the position of prime minister?" Qin Zhiyuan is equivalent to Lu Buwei.

"That's not easy, but it's not impossible. I have money and you have people. It seems that our combination is good." Old Renault also has this idea.

"Then we have to plan it carefully. Do you think what I did last time in Corsica can be hyped up?" Qin Zhiyuan did not hesitate to defile himself.

If you want Clemenceau to come to power, you must let Briand step down. The incident of Qin Zhiyuan's men shooting Corsicans happened during Briand's tenure, which is indeed very suitable for hitting Briand's reputation. Although Qin Zhiyuan had never been in the entertainment industry, he knew how the entertainment industry was hyped. If he hyped this matter up, he might be able to directly drive Brian off the stage.

"No, we can't use this. We can't kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of our own. It's too uneconomical." Old Renault objected.

Old Renault has invested a lot in Qin Zhiyuan. Qin Zhiyuan is now considered a high-quality asset of Old Renault. Old Renault can't stand the loss of his assets.

"What should I do?" Qin Zhiyuan was worried.

Since the dock incident, Qin Zhiyuan has indeed become more and more violent. He is too lazy to think now.

"Don't worry about it. I'll find a way. You just need to prepare the manpower. When appropriate, I may use some violent means." Old Renault muttered.

Although Old Renault is good to Qin Zhiyuan, it would be too naive to think that Old Renault is a good person because of this.
