Expedition to Europe

Regarding the restrictions on presidential power, each country has its own set of regulations.

Compared with the United States, France is indeed at the forefront of democratic politics. The United States is gradually improving various laws. The French National Assembly can already impeach the president when he is incompetent.

This impeachment was initiated by Prime Minister Millerand. Speaking of it, Millerand is a real "traitor". It was because of Deschanel's trust that Millerand was able to take office and form a cabinet, but unexpectedly, when Deschanel encountered a political crisis, it was Millerand who gave Deschanel a fatal blow.

Politics is really dark.

Perhaps Deschanel's performance was too unreasonable, and the Republican Party he belonged to also abandoned him. Deschanel lost all his political allies and finally chose to resign.

Resignation is just a nicer way of saying it. Not resigning is not an option. Since Congress has passed the impeachment, even if Deschanel refuses to leave, Congress will take back the power they gave Deschanel. It is better to be a little graceful at this time.

"What role did Pierre play in this matter?" Qin Zhiyuan didn't care about Deschanel and Millerand, Qin Zhiyuan only cared about his brother-in-law.

"Mr. Pierre did nothing. Even when voting for impeachment, the members who were related to Mr. Pierre chose to abstain." Qin Zhiyuan also had people in the French Parliament, and Gao Hongshi's intelligence was relatively comprehensive.

After hearing Gao Hongshi's report, Qin Zhiyuan nodded secretly.

In this matter, the best thing to do is to do nothing.

Deschanel is indeed not suitable to continue to serve as president, but this knife must not be stabbed by Pierre. Alexander Millerand took a ruthless move this time. Although he may take over as president, he has indeed left a political stain that will be difficult to eliminate for the rest of his life. I am afraid that he will only be a one-term life.

Pierre is still young and there will be many opportunities in the future. Now for Pierre, increasing his qualifications is the most important thing. Whether to enter the center now is not so important. What Qin Zhiyuan needs is Pierre to provide help when needed. It is far from the time for Pierre to repay Qin Zhiyuan.

Even if Pierre does nothing, after this incident, if Millerand comes to power, Pierre can get what he wants.

In fact, "abstention" is also an attitude. Not voting "against" is support, but the support is not so obvious.

"Tell Victor that we will return to Paris immediately." Qin Zhiyuan decided to end his visit to Germany ahead of schedule. At this time, it is better for Qin Zhiyuan to stay in Paris.

Qin Zhiyuan now represents a powerful political force. At this time, he still has to be in Paris, even if he helps Millerand to stand up.

Pierre has to maintain a good reputation, so many things are inconvenient to do. Qin Zhiyuan is different. Qin Zhiyuan originally had a bad reputation in the French National Assembly, and it doesn't matter if he has a bad reputation now.

William III still attaches great importance to his relationship with Qin Zhiyuan. After receiving Gao Hongshi's telegram, William III appeared in front of Qin Zhiyuan before Qin Zhiyuan got on the car.

"I'm really sorry. I've been too busy these days and haven't been able to take care of you. I hope you don't think I'm deliberately neglecting you." William III still felt sorry.

"We don't need to say this between us." Qin Zhiyuan didn't say much nonsense and got into the same car with William III.

"Who will win next? Alexander Millerand? Or Raymond Poincaré?" On the way to the train station, William III asked Qin Zhiyuan.

Just like before the World War, France now does not have many secrets for Germany. It is estimated that there is a report on the impeachment of Deschanel by the French Parliament on William III's desk, so it is not uncommon for William III to know about this.

There are not many people in France who are currently qualified to be president. Alexander Millerand is a candidate, former President Raymond Poincaré is also a candidate, and even former Prime Minister and current Foreign Minister Aristide Briand is a possibility. In short, there are not many candidates for the French National Assembly to choose from.

"It's probably Millerand. Raymond's chances of winning are not great." Qin Zhiyuan didn't hide it, and this kind of thing couldn't be hidden.

"Millerand - very good." William III had a thoughtful expression on his face.

In terms of the French presidential candidate, it is still very important for William III and Qin Zhiyuan to be consistent. It is very important for William III to know in advance who is most likely to be elected, or to know who Qin Zhiyuan supports. In this way, William III can use the power in his hands to show goodwill to Millerand in advance. He doesn't ask Millerand to take care of Germany after becoming president, as long as he doesn't deliberately target it.

"I have arranged for people to prepare machines to be sent to you, mainly for metallurgy, petroleum, and chemical industries. You can arrange people to receive them now. The engineering and technical personnel will come with the machines." Qin Zhiyuan wanted to help William III build basic industries, just like William III helped Qin Zhiyuan.

William III had spent all his money to help Qin Zhiyuan build a set of industries that were quite advanced at the time, including steel, military industry, shipbuilding, optics, chemicals and so on. It was precisely because of the transfer of industries to Lan Fang that those enterprises avoided the fate of being dismantled. Now it is time for Qin Zhiyuan to repay William III.

Qin Zhiyuan has spent a lot of money, and Lan Fang has a lot to offer now. Lan Fang has made outstanding achievements in the fields of biology and chemistry, and the metallurgical industry is also good. Long Chengxuan's research institute still has several capable people. There are formulas available, but those formulas are relatively sensitive, and Qin Zhiyuan doesn't want to take them out before finding a better formula.

"No, no, no, don't start heavy industry first. Start with light industry, textiles, food processing, etc., so as not to irritate the British and French. We can also use light industry to see the attitudes of the British and French. If their resistance is It’s not serious. We will slowly develop heavy industry in the future.” William III did not dare to be too radical for fear of irritating the British and French.

William III's concerns were justified.

In the past, because of the threat of Red Russia, the British and French implemented the "appeasement policy" against Germany. Although Germany repeatedly broke through the bottom line of the "Versailles Peace Treaty", the British and French still maintained restraint. Want to draw the war to Russia.

There is no Red Russia in this world, or in other words, the Red Russia in this world is far from showing the threat of another time and space. The Red Russia in this time and space is now facing the dual threat of the Lanfang Northern Territory and the Kolchak coalition government. , can’t even protect itself,

Therefore, Germany in this world will face more difficulties if it wants to rise again.

"That's okay. Starting up light industry first can alleviate people's livelihood and appease people's emotions. It's a good choice." Qin Zhiyuan agreed with William III's idea.

Light industry is an industry closely related to people's livelihood. Think about it, if all the German people had no food or clothing, then no one would have the heart to follow William III to carry out the "four modernizations". If even the basic people's livelihood cannot be guaranteed, William The third generation cannot sit in this seat for long.

Compared with four-wheeled carriages, cars are much faster. Soon, Qin Zhiyuan and his party arrived at the Berlin train station, got on the train and went straight to Paris.

Because they were going to Lanfang next, Wilhelm II and Hindenburg were also on the train.

This made William II a little nervous. After getting on the train, William II found Qin Zhiyuan.

"If you want to go to Lanfang, it's the same as taking a boat from Germany. Why do you want to take a detour to France?" William II did not want to go to France.

In France, William II not only has the identity of a former German king, but also has the identity of a "war criminal". What William II is most afraid of now is that he saw the French military police on the platform as soon as he stepped out of the carriage, and then was thrown to trial On the table.

William II is also a person who wants to lose face. If he is thrown on the trial bench, it will really bring shame to William II and bring shame to the entire German royal family.

"Don't worry, since I can take you to Paris, I can naturally take you away from Paris." Qin Zhiyuan still has confidence in Paris.

Strictly speaking, in Paris, Qin Zhiyuan can be regarded as a local snake. In Paris, Qin Zhiyuan also wants people and money. Even in the Bois de Boulogne, Qin Zhiyuan has an independent armed force. This is not true in Paris. Definitely one of a kind, even old Renault couldn't have an army in Paris.

"Paris, this is a disgusting city." William II did not have much favorable impression of Paris.

It is not so much that Wilhelm II hated Paris, but envied it.

For the German royal family, Paris definitely has a special status. You must know that William II's grandfather, William I, was crowned emperor in the Palace of Versailles. Even when William I built the Sanssouci Palace, he referred to the design of the Palace of Versailles.

So you can imagine the Germans' obsession with Paris.

"Your arsenic is my honey." Qin Zhiyuan said this sentence directly in Chinese without any nonsense. He didn't even bother to translate it into German.

For Qin Zhiyuan, Paris is a good place.

It was in Paris that Qin Zhiyuan gained recognition from the French ruling class, including the old Renault; it was also in Paris that Qin Zhiyuan established a relationship with Julie; it was also in Paris that Qin Zhiyuan turned a group of workers into a modern industry Worker--

Therefore, Paris is of special significance not only to Qin Zhiyuan, but also to Lanfang as a whole.

Speaking of this, Qin Zhiyuan and William I also had similar actions. In Lanfang, the Black Swan Castle where Qin Zhiyuan and Julie lived was modeled after the Black Swan Castle in Paris.

"What do you mean?" William II was not yet erudite enough to even be proficient in Chinese.

"If I were you, then I would definitely learn Chinese well." Qin Zhiyuan did not answer William II.

It is indeed necessary for William II to learn Chinese well if William II wants to live in Lanfang in the future.
