Expedition to Europe

There are countless interpretations of why the Germans launched the World War.

The most well-known reason is because of world hegemony and the distribution of colonies. In fact, the deeper reason is about the system of the entire Western world.

If the whole world is regarded as a big market, then the British and French, relying on the explosion of productivity after the Industrial Revolution, have become the rule makers of this market through hundreds of years of hard work. They divided this market into different spheres of influence and formulated a set of operating rules to ensure that this market can operate smoothly.

In this process, the British and French, as rule makers, enjoy the benefits of transcending the rules in the entire market.

Germany launched the World War, which was equivalent to challenging the set of operating rules formulated by the British and French, and it did not require modification, but required a complete overthrow, and then the Germans would re-formulate the rules.

This was absolutely unacceptable to the British and French, so the contradictions between the Allies and the Central Powers could not be reconciled.

Even the Germans did not have the ability to re-formulate the rules, let alone Qin Zhiyuan. To live better in this market, for Qin Zhiyuan now, it is not to change the operating rules, but to change himself, to make himself more adaptable to this market, and then accumulate strength. When the strength reaches a certain level, he will naturally have the right to change the rules.

Qin Zhiyuan understands this issue very well.

In another time and space, Qin Zhiyuan, as a special agent in North America, knows the situation in North America best.

Take the United States as an example. There is always a group of people in front of the White House, holding various signs and shouting various slogans, demanding increased benefits, higher salaries, higher treatment, etc.

These people are basically African Americans. They always think that they have fallen to this point because of the discrimination of society because of their skin color. They ask the government to help them and ask the whole society to change the rules of social operation for them.

But those who beg others to do something for them don’t think about it. Some people of African descent have become the president of the United States, while others are still living on the streets. This is not something that can be summarized by the word "discrimination".

Old Renault hopes that Qin Zhiyuan will join the French nationality, which is similar to this meaning. Since Qin Zhiyuan's power is not enough to make rules now, he should take the initiative to change himself and join this system to become a part of it.

"I need time..." Qin Zhiyuan still doesn't want to make a decision so early.

"Of course, you will get everything you deserve." Old Renault said with a double meaning, looking at Qin Zhiyuan with a bright look.

If there is no direct refusal, it means there is hope. Old Renault will not force Qin Zhiyuan, which may backfire.

Old Renault is patient with Qin Zhiyuan, but it does not mean that others are also patient.

The next day, the British Daily Telegraph published an article. The bold and bold font on the front page was clear and conspicuous "Yellow Disaster", and the subtitle was even more sensational "The Invasion of the Chinese".

William II said that at the time, mainly because of the huge population of the Chinese. According to William II at the time, once the Chinese began to export their population, 400 million Chinese would be scattered to every corner of the world, and in any region, they would become the main ethnic group, which would be a disaster for Europe.

In fact, this is because of the different cultural differences between the East and the West, and the different conclusions drawn. But this conclusion cannot be refuted. You can't find William II and point at his nose and say: We Chinese are different from you. We don't forget our roots. Even if we go out to make a living, we will return to our roots. We are different from you who are heartless and forget your ancestors and abandon your hometown at any time.

This is not an explanation, this is scolding.

But the sad thing is that in Western society at this time, William II's thoughts are mainstream. Even the Americans passed a "Chinese Exclusion Act" 30 years ago to restrict Chinese immigration.

At noon that day, Lao Renault called Qin Zhiyuan. Some members of the National Assembly proposed to transfer the First Division of the Foreign Legion to Algeria and re-examine the Corsica issue.

Sure enough, there are really people who can't sit still.

If Qin Zhiyuan can ignore the British newspapers, then when the French pay attention to Corsica, Qin Zhiyuan must do something.

If Qin Zhiyuan's troops are transferred to Algeria and the French re-examine the status of Corsica, then all Qin Zhiyuan's previous efforts will be in vain.

After receiving the call from old Renault, Qin Zhiyuan took action immediately.

The argument in the newspaper was just a verbal attack. Qin Zhiyuan also had his own channels in the UK to make his voice heard. The Times immediately refuted the article in the Daily Telegraph, and it was from the perspective of all mankind.

The Daily Telegraph was founded in 1855. After Edward Levi Lawson took over the newspaper, the circulation of the Daily Telegraph exceeded 300,000 copies, making it the newspaper with the largest circulation in the world.

Lawson died last year. The Daily Telegraph has undergone personnel changes, and its former glory is no longer there. Its sales have been declining recently.

Perhaps in order to reverse the decline, the Daily Telegraph chose the most eye-catching title, pointing the finger at Qin Zhiyuan, who has been in the limelight recently.

This is exactly what some people in France want. The French government has recently become turbulent again. People frequently submit motions of no confidence in the prime minister. The National Assembly has become a vegetable market every day. It is said that some radicals in the National Assembly have begun to throw eggs at each other.

There has always been a voice in France, that is, demanding the prime minister to step down and the "tiger" Clemenceau to take office to form a cabinet. Especially when Nivelle's spring offensive failed and a large-scale mutiny broke out in the French army, the weakness and inability of the current prime minister Paul Painlewe in this matter were fully exposed.

At this time, there is a consensus in France from top to bottom, that is, France needs a strong and powerful leader, a leader with an iron-blooded temperament.

This is almost a requirement tailored for Clemenceau.

Paul Painlewe must not be willing to step down in disgrace, so Qin Zhiyuan became a victim of diverting public attention.

Qin Zhiyuan is not easy to bully now. Let alone Clemenceau's relationship, just the relationship of old Renault in the National Assembly is not something that a certain person or a certain group can bear.

Renault Group is the largest economic group in France. Although the old Renault himself did not hold a position in the National Assembly to avoid suspicion, he must have his own spokesperson in the National Assembly. So one day later, a large-scale counterattack against Paul Painlevi in ​​the National Assembly broke out almost instantly.

To attack a politician, there is no need for real evidence, as long as there is suspicion. The spokesperson of the old Renault gave a variety of reasons, such as Paul Painlevi had committed fraud during his tenure as Minister of Science, Technology and Invention, and Paul Painlevi, as a member of the French Academy of Sciences, was not doing his job in politics. Even Paul Painlevi's hosting a banquet at home was a nuisance.

It doesn't matter whether it is a fact or not. If Paul Painlevi wants to prove his innocence, then please resign and accept the investigation first. If the investigation proves that Paul Painlevi is innocent, then Paul Painlevi will get an apology.

He has already resigned, what's the use of apology!
