This tall, thin, middle-aged man is very friendly and very polite. This kind of politeness is engraved in his bones. It is obvious that he is a nobleman, although at this time, nobleman has become a useless title. But there is still a difference with ordinary people.

Not only did this gentleman not casually inquire about Mu Qing's background, he didn't even ask any tentative words. He just talked about some interesting things that happened in Paris recently to ease the awkward atmosphere during the meal.

Soon, the atmosphere of the restaurant returned to what it was before. Small conversations and the sound of tableware colliding together, together with the sunlight coming in from the window, formed a happy scene.The German army ready to go outside the border seems to be in another world.

"I heard that there are so many young people enlisting in the military every day that they don't even have enough registration forms. In the end, they only completed all the registrations with the temporarily printed registration forms."

"Actually, the reason why the boss of that printing factory brought people to the army registration site was because I told him in advance." Mu Qing raised his hand.

The atmosphere was very awkward at that time. Montesquieu who was sitting opposite was just trying to find a topic. Although this incident happened during the conscription, almost everyone in Paris knew about it. After-dinner conversation.

When everyone talks about this matter, they just talk about how shameful Italy is, and their army will definitely be invincible.

But why is this young man so upright, and how can this matter be such a coincidence!

He was not very good at finding topics, but now it was even more embarrassing.

However, the person who caused the current embarrassing situation didn't seem to be aware of this. He picked up the napkin on the table and wiped his mouth. He was not polite at all: "Is it strange? Judging from the situation at the train station these days, It's easy to come to such a conclusion, right?"

"None of the trains was empty these days. Tickets were sold out for a whole week after that day. Even so, there are still many people entering Paris from other places through various methods."

So counting people is really easy.

Montesquieu was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Indeed."

Good guy, apart from nodding, there is no second reaction. Did he choose the wrong person just now?

Mu Qing didn't expect that a person who would take the initiative to stand up and help others out of a siege would really have no extra interest in chatting.

People who are not familiar with it don’t ask too much. What other people do is their freedom, as long as it is within the scope permitted by the law. Montesquieu is not curious, but he feels that he and this young man who has never met It hasn't reached the point where you can ask these intimate things casually.

This gentleman's mouth is too strict!

"Okay, okay, I admit defeat, aren't you curious at all?" Mu Qing put both hands on the table, lowered her body, and drew closer to him.

This distance suddenly exceeded the normal social safety distance, but the table itself was still very large, so Mu Qing didn't come close to it completely.

Montesquieu's first reaction was to lean back slightly, but the arc was basically invisible to the naked eye, so he asked, "Why are you curious?"

"Curious how I knew about the situation at the Paris train station, how I knew about the conscription situation, and why I told the boss of the printing factory about this big business?"

Mu Qing leaned back on the back of the chair, and said casually, "Aren't you curious?"

There are still a few tables of guests in this restaurant, because all the movements here are looking over, but they just glanced and turned back.

"Maybe you work at the railway station, or at the printing factory." Montesquieu replied imitating Mu Qing's hypothesis.

"No matter how you think about it, it's impossible. How could someone do two jobs by himself." Mu Qing found out that if this continues, he will die in a day, so he changed his mind: "Just take it as the reward for this meal, how about it? It’s like I’m getting paid to eat here because the owner of a printing factory landed this big deal.”

This topic becomes interesting.

Montesquieu did relax a little.His current status is indeed very important, so important that he must be very cautious in his words and deeds.

The main reason is that the two inside were fighting in the dark, and it was all because of him dragging in the middle that they didn't fight. He was also under a lot of pressure!

"Then I'll just ask a random question." Montesquieu didn't ask why Mu Qing paid attention to the situation of train passengers, nor why he needed to make money in this way, he asked a more pointed question : "Do you want to work for the government through me?"

Montesquieu's voice was slow, and he didn't feel strong at all, but the content of the question he asked was not so peaceful.

Obviously, when Mu Qing said there was only one question, he defaulted to only one question. Since there is only one question, it is better to ask the most critical question directly.

It would be great if Mu Qing dared to face this issue as he thought. If not, it would prove that today's approach was indeed premeditated.

"Yes!"

Mu Qing's answer was very straightforward: "I know that there is an endless debate over whether to declare war on Germany or Italy, but if Germany and Italy broke up first, wouldn't this debate cease to exist?"

I have to say that Mu Qing's speech is very bold. There are two factions in the French government, the war faction and the peace faction, and there is another faction fighting in the middle. But no one has ever boldly thought that before the war begins, the two countries will directly fall apart.

Montesquieu's first reaction was: "It's impossible."

The situation in Italy and Ethiopia is very bad. Ethiopia's defeat is too fast. I don't even know if the British and French coalition forces can help them win the game.

This kind of intensive attack by Italy tells all countries that they want to bring down Ethiopia and plant the Italian flag in Addis Ababa.

But the young man in front of him seems to be very confident, but he has no official position, and he may not even be a member of the French people. Can this kind of person be trusted?

Montesquieu had no way to be sure, but since this person dared to sit directly in front of him and say this, it meant that he was confident.

"Charles Louis Montesquieu."

"Qing, just an ordinary person without a surname."

Montesquieu left his business card and left in a hurry. Naturally, he could not believe that Mu Qing could really disintegrate the German-Italian alliance just because of a few words. Even if he believed it, the French government was not alone. People have the final say, and this kind of action must be agreed by at least half of the people.

It was one night three days later that Montesquieu contacted Mu Qing again. The meeting place this time was at Montesquieu's home. In addition to Mu Qing and Montesquieu, there was another 'guest' who came late.

"I'm so pissed off! He's a lunatic! He's going to drive the whole country crazy!"

The person who just came in seemed to be very familiar with the owner here, without even taking off his coat, he began to complain endlessly about his enemies.

"Oh, my God, how dare he! Mobilize a huge army to go to war directly against Germany and Italy at the same time, and he doesn't even think about the consequences of this matter!"

After catching the light in the room, Mu Qing saw that the person Montesquieu wanted to introduce him to was also an acquaintance.

Voltaire's eyes were round and round, looking a little funny. He glared at Montesquieu, as if asking him why he didn't tell him that there were outsiders here, and now he lost face.

"Hey, I didn't do it on purpose. Since you walked in, this is the first time you have given me a chance to speak. Naturally, I will seize this opportunity to defend myself."

Montesquieu had no choice but to introduce Mu Qing to Voltaire: "This is a young man I met before, who has a lot of ideas." As for what ideas he had, he didn't say it directly, and everyone knew it.

Mu Qing stood up and bowed slightly under Voltaire's shocked gaze: "Good evening, Mr. Voltaire."

"Do you know Voltaire?" Now it was Montesquieu's turn to be puzzled, his eyes moved back and forth between Mu Qing and Voltaire, and even wondered if this was an old friend joking with him.

"Hmph, I must have known him earlier than you." Voltaire was not polite, and sat down on the chair, the temperature of the tea in hand was just right to neutralize the cold air brought by the road: "This kid must have a better brain than you Shi, probably since you met him, he knew that we two knew each other."

In fact, Mu Qing is really not sure whether they recognize each other, but these two people are both powerful people with different abilities, and they are also "Three Swordsmen of the French Enlightenment" in a different world. It is quite normal to be friends in this world something happened.

Being stared at by the two bosses, Mu Qing quickly put down the cup in his hand: "I have no other purpose. After all, no one wants to see the flames of war. My tour of Europe has just begun, and I don't want to be forced to end because of the war."

"Is there any way you can persuade Germany or Italy to withdraw their troops?" When it comes to business, Voltaire is not in the mood to continue joking with his old friends, and the top priority is to resolve the imminent war.

Judging from Voltaire's words and performance, Mu Qing has basically confirmed that this person is probably the main representative of the Main Battle Party, but he doesn't know what kind of person the Main Battle Party is.

Now France is stronger than stronger, but its rights are too dispersed. In such a huge country, there is no one who can make the final decision. After so many days, it is still impossible to make a decision. Thanks to Germany, which only occupied the Rhine Demilitarized Zone, No further action.

"It's probably impossible to retreat. If you want to retreat, it's not that simple." Although Mu Qing is confident, it doesn't mean that those in power in Germany and Italy are stupid. "But the cooperation between these two countries is not inseparable." Yes. To put it bluntly, it is just a contract. At this time, the effectiveness of a piece of paper, the "Versailles Peace Treaty" is not just torn up."

"How sure are you?" Voltaire frowned. He was indeed a pacifist, and he even felt that the original peace treaty in the Rhine region was too aggressive. Even if Germany did not send troops, within a few years, the French government would It's time to settle this matter.

Moreover, he has been living in semi-recluse these years. Although he doesn't care about anything, he is indeed far away from the political center. When he returned to Paris, he realized that the problem was already so serious. If he didn't solve it, he might have a big problem.

"If you just let them break up, you can be sure of it [-]%, but I can't guarantee the rest. If Germany dares to tear up the "Versailles Peace Treaty" at will, it is absolutely impossible that Italy is the only ally."

When Mu Qing said this, Voltaire and Montesquieu quickly exchanged a look, seeing the decision in each other's eyes, it was very vague, but Mu Qing had already caught it.

"If you can't solve the war, you can solve the people who want to start the war."
