Expedition to Europe

Fortunately, most Chinese are hardworking, or in other words, the vast majority of Chinese are hardworking.

Think about it, a nation that would open up a piece of land in front of or behind the house to grow vegetables, how could it be possible for them to stay at home and have children without doing anything? Even if they have children, they don’t take maternity leave for one or two years. As long as they are out of the confinement period, they will continue to work.

Chinese people care about face, which is considered a bad trait by some people with tinted glasses.

In fact, this is not the case at all, it is the advantage of Chinese people.

It is precisely because of the care about face and unwillingness to lag behind that Chinese people will work hard, at least to make it look like their life is not worse than others.

Such "face-saving" Chinese are always more positive than those so-called "enjoying life" who want to relax as soon as they have a little money and a little time.

In fact, in the eyes of those with tinted glasses, everything Chinese people do is wrong. Chinese people should not appear in this world at all. Chinese people should be law-abiding and work honestly for those with tinted glasses, and should not show any competitiveness.

Because Chinese people who work hard and are unwilling to lag behind will occupy all the resources in the world, at least most of the resources, if they have the slightest opportunity.

As I said before, there are only so many resources in this world. If the Chinese have more, the others will have less.

Everyone wants to eat more and take more!

Qin Zhiyuan is working hard to eat more and take more, otherwise how can it be called the "Big Foodie Empire".

Now Qin Zhiyuan is cultivating more "little foodies".

The Boy Scouts in Trident City are slightly different from those in Thunder City. Compared with the Boy Scouts with all-round development, the Boy Scouts in Trident City are more inclined to the military aspect.

The vast majority of the Boy Scouts in Trident City are Chinese, and Qin Zhiyuan is very clear about the principle that "political power comes from the barrel of a gun".

At the Boy Scout Camp in Trident City, the person in charge, Xiong Boda, was also among the people accompanying Qin Zhiyuan on the inspection.

Xiong Boda is a retired veteran of the First Division, and the reason for his retirement is disability. In the battle to attack Elbekur last year, Xiong Boda's hand was broken by the Germans, and he was forced to retire.

After retiring, Xiong Boda didn't want to return to the Far East. Even if he could only do some logistical work, Xiong Boda was willing to stay with his brothers. So when the Trident City Boy Scouts were established, Xiong Boda was appointed as the person in charge here.

Xiong Boda's broken arm is now equipped with a prosthesis, which is a wooden arm with an iron hook installed. Therefore, the Boy Scouts secretly call him "Captain Iron Hook".

Qin Zhiyuan was a little regretful. In fact, it would be more appropriate to call him "Captain Iron Hook".

"The number of Boy Scouts has increased rapidly. Now it has exceeded 10,000 people. There are two to three thousand people joining every month. It is estimated that at least two Boy Scout camps will continue to be built every month." Xiong Boda's voice was a little hoarse. He was also injured in the neck and his vocal cords were affected.

"Portlem, this is your job. You must treat it as a priority." Qin Zhiyuan did not procrastinate and solved it directly on the spot.

"Yes, General, the city government will do its best to serve the Boy Scouts." Portlem knew how much Qin Zhiyuan valued the Boy Scouts.

"The municipal government is still good." Xiong Boda praised in time and successfully won the grateful eyes of Portlem.

Qin Zhiyuan just pretended not to see it. This kind of interaction is conducive to the development of future work, which is basically a good thing.

"Some members of parliament proposed a motion to express dissatisfaction, requiring the Boy Scouts to increase the proportion of French children and reduce the scale of immigration from the Far East." Eric took the opportunity to complain.

"Who is it?" Qin Zhiyuan was curious, there is such a blind man?

"A doctor from mainland France, a Democratic Republican, was my competitor when I ran for Speaker, but unfortunately he didn't get enough votes." Eric gloated.

Although Qin Zhiyuan has joined the French nationality, he cannot join a political party because he is a soldier. He is considered a non-partisan. These people on Corsica are different. For example, Eric is still a French citizen. If he wants to engage in political activities, he must choose a party to join.

Influenced by Qin Zhiyuan, Eric and Mary are all Radical Socialists, and they belong to the same party as Clemenceau, who is about to take office. The Democratic Republican Party is the party to which former Prime Minister Alexandre Ribot belongs, and it is now an opposition party.

"You solve these problems yourself. This is a bad trend and cannot be allowed to spread." Qin Zhiyuan said.

"Yes, I understand." Eric and Portlem exchanged excited glances.

The so-called "democracy" is only held by the opposition party, and the ruling party will not care. For the ruling party, "one party·ruling" is the best choice, whether in the East or the West. Even France, which boasts of "democracy and freedom", is strictly speaking "one party·ruling".

Although there are countless parties in France, there are only a few ruling parties. Don't look at the change of prime ministers every few days. In fact, it is still the same group of bourgeois representatives. If it is replaced by a proletarian representative... Sorry, there are almost no proletarian representatives in the House of Representatives. They can't form an absolute majority at all, so they don't have the basis for ruling.

Look, although it doesn't say that you can't come to power, it directly strangles your way to power from the system, and it also makes you speechless.

This is what the West calls "democracy".

Being in France, Qin Zhiyuan can't help but follow the local customs. Let's be democratic. There is room for maneuver. Anyway, it's not Qin Zhiyuan who is in power, so Qin Zhiyuan doesn't care who will be scolded.

Eric doesn't care either. For politicians, face is actually a small matter. Suppression in broad daylight and digging holes in cover-up have the same effect. Eric prefers to suppress in broad daylight. Anyway, they are all shameless, but one is shameless in cover-up, and the other is shameless in broad daylight. Eric would rather be a real villain than a hypocrite.

"The supply of milk and eggs is a bit insufficient recently, but meat and grains are still abundant. Can you give more milk and eggs?" Chief Iron Hook asked.

Milk is actually not fresh milk, but milk made by mixing condensed milk and water. The nutrition is similar.

"Bear, it's good to have milk and eggs now. Look at what people in France eat? Cornmeal and potatoes." Portlem was crying out for injustice.

The war caused great trauma to Europe. Before the war, France was an important producer of agricultural products, and its grain was exported. But now, France can only provide 40% of the wheat it needs.

Since the beginning of the World War, the number of livestock in Europe has decreased by 100 million. So far, France has lost 15% of its cattle, 30% of its sheep and 30% of its pigs, and the production of sugar crops has dropped by 50%.

Germany's unrestricted submarine warfare has led the Allies to choose to interrupt transactions in the Eastern market in order to save more ship capacity and shorten the cargo transportation cycle, withdraw ships transporting materials from Australia, India and South America, and obtain supplies from North America instead.

This is a bargain for the Americans. They have made a lot of war money in this war. Now the British and French have not felt it because the Germans are a greater threat to them than the Americans.

When the account books are opened after the war, the British and French will find that the Americans have become their creditors unknowingly.

The Europeans fought to the death, but the Americans got the advantage.

It is really a fight between cranes and clams, and the fishermen benefit.
