Expedition to Europe

Hating a person or a country, if it lasts too long, will become a habit, and people will often forget why such deep resentment was born in the first place.

This is the case with the French and the Germans. Perhaps there are too many disputes between the two countries, or perhaps both countries are so powerful that they make each other sleepless, or perhaps there are reasons like "Why don't you lend me an axe", etc.

In short, the French hate the Germans so much, even political elites like Poincaré and Millerand are like this.

Qin Zhiyuan's words opened another door for Poincaré and Millerand, which was equivalent to showing a new world. Millerand was still a little confused, but Poincaré understood it at once.

It is not easy to change a person's deep-rooted obsession. Millerand needs more time to digest this news.

Qin Zhiyuan is not in a hurry. When Millerand takes the presidency, William III will find an opportunity to meet with Millerand and then communicate about this matter.

As mentioned earlier, the early 20th century was an era of secret politics. Alliances between countries were not put on the surface. No one could be sure of their position until the last moment. It was normal if the French and Germans had some kind of secret agreement, just like the British are now trying to reach some kind of consensus with the Germans.

After Poincaré and Millerand said goodbye, Qin Zhiyuan did not leave immediately, so only Qin Zhiyuan, Pierre and old Renault were left in the room.

Compared with Poincaré and Millerand, Qin Zhiyuan, Pierre and old Renault are the real iron triangle. They have an emotional foundation, economic entanglements, and extensive common interests. Most importantly, old Renault's lack of interest in politics can be ignored. Qin Zhiyuan and Pierre both have a future, and they are both very young.

In the field of politicians, age is really the biggest asset.

"Have you reached some kind of agreement with William III?" Pierre couldn't wait to speak bluntly.

Pierre knew that Qin Zhiyuan and William III had a very good relationship. Although not as good as Pierre's, it was not much different, so Pierre had reason to doubt.

"Not yet." Qin Zhiyuan told the truth and did not hide his true thoughts.

"Now", this has fully expressed Qin Zhiyuan's attitude. If it is appropriate, then in the future, Lan Fang will definitely stand on the same front with Germany.

"Are you crazy? This will make Lan Fang an enemy of the whole world. Have you considered Lily and Anzhe?" Pierre's focus is indeed different from others.

It is certain that if Qin Zhiyuan is an enemy of the whole world, then Julie and Qin De will be implicated. If Qin Zhiyuan wins, it's okay. If Qin Zhiyuan loses, then Pierre may lose his sister and nephew.

"It is because of Lily and Anzhe that I choose to do this. I want to clear obstacles for Anzhe as much as possible and create a more stable living environment for Lily." Qin Zhiyuan said righteously.

"What nonsense! You are just pursuing your own ambitions. What does it have to do with Lily and Anzhe?" Pierre mercilessly exposed Qin Zhiyuan's true face.

Pierre is not a pure boy. After more than a year in the political arena, Pierre is gradually maturing. Qin Zhiyuan's words can deceive the ignorant girl, which may make the girl admire him, but it is obvious that Pierre will not buy it when he uses it to deal with Pierre.

"It doesn't matter if I lose. I still have you. You won't watch Lily and Anzhe sad." Qin Zhiyuan's intentions are sinister.

"Damn, you are kidnapping." Pierre saw through it immediately.

"Even if it is kidnapping, what is your choice?" Qin Zhiyuan's dagger was revealed.

It is an obvious problem. If Pierre does not want Julie and Qin De to be sad, then Pierre had better give full play to his role. Even if he cannot influence the French government, he must have enough influence. In that case, Pierre can cooperate with Qin Zhiyuan's actions when Qin Zhiyuan needs it and achieve Qin Zhiyuan's goal.

It does sound a bit shameless, but in this process, Pierre can also realize his own life value, and the two are not contradictory.

Speaking of "life value", at the level of Qin Zhiyuan and Pierre, how much money they make and what kind of social status they have are no longer important. If you look at it from the perspective of ordinary people, Qin Zhiyuan and Pierre have reached the peak of their lives and can be said to have no desires. Regardless of what Pierre thinks, Qin Zhiyuan certainly doesn't think so.

"Even if you want to achieve a certain goal, you can have more choices instead of cooperating with the Germans. If Lan Fang signs a secret agreement with Germany and establishes a certain relationship, have you considered the reaction of the French government? What about the relationship between Lan Fang and France?" Pierre did not directly answer Qin Zhiyuan's words, but proposed another possibility.

"It is your job to decide how the French view this matter, so you must ascend to the presidency, and not be a flash in the pan like Mr. Deschanel." Qin Zhiyuan shamelessly passed the buck again.

Don't think that the French will do anything for the Germans. Think about it carefully, the French hate the British just as much as the Germans. If it weren't for the British "Continental Balance Policy", France would have been the overlord of Europe as early as the Napoleonic era.

Before the outbreak of the last world war, Germany's Wilhelm II did not see the situation clearly. If the problems of the United States were not considered, then before the world war, Britain was the world leader, Germany was the second, and France was the third. What Germany should do is not Fight against the whole world, but pull the third child together to fight against the boss. If France and Germany stand on the same front, it will be really difficult for the British to win, even if they have their own son, the United States, to help.

Americans who only want to make money are the biggest bastards in the world. If the German-French alliance prevailed in a world war, it would be hard to say which side the Americans would take. Don’t look at the British as their biological fathers. , didn’t the relationship between the United States and Britain completely fall apart after World War II in another time and space?

Of course, the British will not admit it.

"Stop talking about these boring questions. I've heard enough nonsense like 'impossible' and 'shouldn't' in my life. Qin, tell me your purpose." Old Renault still spoke uprightly.

The age difference between old Renault and Qin Zhiyuan is as big as that of Pierre and Qin Zhiyuan combined. Old Renault is indeed qualified to say this. Qin Zhiyuan and Pierre also need a lubricant. Originally, Foch was the most suitable candidate. , but Foch, who has fought with the Germans all his life, may not be qualified, so now the old Renault is the most suitable.

Pierre's opposition to Lanfang getting too close to Germany was nothing more than fear of war and uncertainty about the future. If Pierre had enough confidence to influence the current situation, then Pierre would not be so determined.

"Purpose? If I say that I want to liberate all mankind, then you will definitely leave. My goal is not that. I am not that great. I just want to break the existing world structure and strive for a greater survival for the Chinese people. Space, that's all. Pierre, you don't think your colonies in Africa will surrender forever. France? Now all the colonies are showing signs of instability, and national awakening is gradually becoming a widespread reality. When France loses all its overseas colonies, what will France do? "Has Qin Zhiyuan considered it? The timeline was deliberately extended to guide Pierre to think further and more.

"That can't happen!" Pierre said firmly, and only he knew what he was thinking.

"Don't say it's impossible. You know best in your heart. Why is the national awakening spreading? You also know very well who is causing trouble. If you are unwilling to face this point, then there will be nothing to talk about between us." Qin Zhiyuan added Start to help Americans on the other side of the ocean to spread hatred.

Strictly speaking, the "national awakening" thing is really the work of the Americans.

The rise of the United States is actually similar to that of Germany. When the Americans finally gained some strength and wanted to expand abroad, they found that the whole world had been divided up by the British and the French, so the Americans felt terrible. As you can imagine, of course, the Americans concealed it well, and the Germans were in front, so the Americans can continue to pretend now.

Before the World War, the pressure on the Americans was actually much greater than that on the Germans. Because the industrial production capacity of the United States was stronger than that of the Germans, the pressure on American consortiums to find markets was even greater. Before the World War, the Americans proposed the "open door" policy. Policy", this proposal is as unpopular as Wilson's "Fourteen Points", so if William II can remain calm, then the world war may be started by the Americans.

"So what? Germany can't fight the world on its own, not even with Lan Fang. Even with France -" Pierre suddenly stopped talking.

It is indeed impossible for Germany to fight against the whole world independently. This has been proved by the world war, but if Lanfang is added, it is difficult to say. After all, Lanfang currently controls a larger area and a larger population than Germany. That showed that Lanfang had a stronger war potential than Germany. If France was added to it, Pierre suddenly felt a little dizzy.

"Australians are too busy to take care of themselves now. Western Australia is on the brink of war. War can break out at any time. This is Australia's civil war, so if there is another world war, there can be no more Anzacs. Canadians are even worse, Arthur Currie Jazz was put on trial by the Canadians. Now no one in Canada wants to participate in the war, so let alone 600,000 people, even if there are 6,000 people, the Canadians cannot organize them. So who can the British rely on the Indians? It's good to let them be responsible for making fun of it." Qin Zhiyuan broke it and crushed it.

Sir Arthur Currie was the commander of the Canadian Legion during the World War. During the World War, Canadians with a total population of 8 million sent 600,000 troops to participate in the war. As a result, 60,000 people were killed and 170,000 were injured because of heavy losses. , so Sir Arthur Currie was put on trial by the Canadians.

Based on Sir Arthur Currie’s experience, it is estimated that if a world war breaks out again, the Canadians’ choices will be similar to those of Switzerland.

As for the Anzac Corps, that is even more of a tragedy. Now the Australian government has not even paid off the pensions of those casualties and soldiers, and they want the horses to run away and not eat grass?

How is that possible!
