Expedition to Europe

Not surprisingly, Clemenceau readily agreed to Qin Zhiyuan's resignation application.

Qin Zhiyuan resigned as Commander-in-Chief of the Foreign Legion, while still retaining the position of Chief of the New Baku Special Administrative Region. This position Qin Zhiyuan cannot give up.

Qin Zhiyuan, who resigned, did not return to Paris immediately, but went to Djerba Island in Gabes Bay.

Those Chinese instructors continued to stay in Sidi Bel Abbas, and they could not leave until they completed the training of this group of soldiers.

On the island of Djerba, a large refinery is under construction, and the oil from New Baku will be transported here for refining before being sent to mainland France.

Old Renault has been staying on Djerba Island during this period. Now New Baku is the lifeblood of Old Renault. Old Renault does not allow any accidents to happen.

Therefore, after meeting Qin Zhiyuan, Old Renault complained: "Have you caught those damn guys? I will hang them all in Gabes, so that everyone will know the consequences of going against me."

Old Renault was referring to those guys who attacked construction workers. Those people were like ghosts. If they were not caught, they would always be a shadow hanging over the construction team, and they would also set a certain example. Maybe someone would Follow the example.

"We're looking. We already have some clues. Just wait a moment." Qin Zhiyuan would not let them go.

After the attack, Qin Zhiyuan ordered Hu Tingfeng and Zhou Hongguang to form a joint investigation team to trace the whereabouts of the perpetrators. Although those people came and went like the wind, they still left a lot of clues. As of now, all the clues point to the Prince of Basel in Gabes.

The Prince of Basel is a member of the Tunisian royal family, and his fiefdom is in Gabes. Almost all of the New Baku Corridor planned by the French government is in the territory of the Prince of Basel, so he is a directly related person.

The French government has expropriated the land of the Prince of Basel and has given the Prince a lot of compensation. Of course, the money was paid by the old Renault. The French government was only responsible for the matchmaking and did not pay a penny.

The old Renault was very generous. Under normal circumstances, the Prince of Basel should be satisfied, but compared with the oil in New Baku, those compensation payments became nothing.

Money and silk moved people's hearts, and the Prince of Basel also wanted to get involved.

"We need to speed up our actions. We have drilled more than 20 oil wells now, and the production is increasing every day. However, due to limited transportation capacity, we can only pile them up in New Baku. God, I don't even dare to think about it. When I think about it, my heart breaks. It's bleeding." Old Renault looked up at the sun in the sky with a worried expression: "Qin, are you sure the oil won't evaporate?"

"God, Louis, can you stop being so whimsical." Qin Zhiyuan was helpless, shaking his head and walking into Old Renault's office.

Old Reno's office was luxuriously decorated, but it had nothing to do with North Africa. If we must say it was related, then the carpet on the floor and the tapestries on the walls were very North African. Other than that, the furnishings in the office were similar to those of Old Reno in Paris. The office is no different.

Qin Zhiyuan felt like he was at home with Old Renault. He didn't need Old Renault to greet him. Qin Zhiyuan went to the wine cabinet and poured a glass of wine by himself, then sat on the sofa and meditated.

It is indeed worth pondering that although Qin Zhiyuan did not fully achieve his goal in Sidi Bel Abbas, the reaction of all parties because of Qin Zhiyuan's promotion of "religious freedom" is one of the experiences.

Qin Zhiyuan now wants to reflect on why this situation occurred and whether the effect would be better if relatively gentle methods were used.

"Are you used to drinking when you have nothing to do now?" Old Renault looked at Qin Zhiyuan and joked.

After dealing with him for such a long time, Lao Renault was sure that Qin Zhiyuan was very capable of self-control. For example, when it comes to drinking, although Qin Zhiyuan doesn't drink at all, he basically doesn't drink too much, which means he only drinks lightly. Old Renault has almost never seen Qin Zhiyuan take the initiative to drink.

"No, I need to look at some problems from another angle." Qin Zhiyuan just held the wine and watched the liquid ripple back and forth in the cup, smelling more ingredients.

"There's nothing to think about. You're not wrong on this issue, it's just that it shouldn't be done by you. Do you think others haven't discovered those problems? No, in fact everyone knows it, but as long as no one brings it up, everyone He would pretend not to know. "Old Renault is indeed cunning.

"Why didn't you tell me before?" Qin Zhiyuan was dissatisfied. If someone had told Qin Zhiyuan the truth at that time, Qin Zhiyuan might have taken another approach.

After all, Qin Zhiyuan has no political experience. Maybe he knows the future direction of the world, but when it comes to actual government affairs, mistakes are inevitable.

"What did you want me to tell you? Even if I told you, would you listen?" Old Reno dismissed it.

"Do you think I am an arbitrary person?" Qin Zhiyuan considers himself very democratic.

"Don't you think you are not?" Old Renault's view was completely different from Qin Zhiyuan's.

"Fuck!" Qin Zhiyuan rarely cursed.

"Actually, you were wrong about this from the beginning. You shouldn't have gone shirtless. If I were you, I would push that Gerald Azshara to the front desk. Then once there is a directional error, you only need to Just change someone else, and you can still have a reputation for putting things right in a timely manner. How great would that be?" Old Renault had great ideas.

In fact, this is what the old Renault has always done.

According to the strength that old Renault has, he can definitely enter the French Parliament. Even if he cannot become president or prime minister, he can at least be a member of the parliament. But the elder Reno had never intended to enter politics. He had always been behind the scenes, looking for his own agents to speak on his behalf in Congress.

"Your idea is good, but asking Gerald Azshara to promote religious freedom is more difficult than killing him." Qin Zhiyuan did not think it was possible to cooperate with Gerald Azshara.

"You can let him choose. Isn't he asking for the establishment of a government? Take this as one of the conditions and let him choose. If he wants to form a government, he must agree to freedom of religion. If he doesn't agree, then there is no chance of forming a government." Old Renault downplayed things and turned his passivity into initiative while talking and laughing.

"Really, your behavior is called hindsight..." Qin Zhiyuan despised Old Renault's hidden behavior.

Old Renault needed Qin Zhiyuan to explain before he could understand the meaning of "hindsight." After listening to Qin Zhiyuan explain the rules of Chinese chess, old Renault immediately had an analysis: "You see, we are like flags on the chessboard. It is necessary to abide by certain rules in order to be neat and orderly. If the chess pieces on the board are all rooks, then the game will be too boring. "

For Old Renault, there are not many things in this world that can be called challenges. As far as businessmen are concerned, Old Renault has done almost everything a businessman can do. Although Old Renault is not involved in the military and political circles, he He has never lacked influence in the military and political circles, which is a manifestation of old Renault's personal wisdom.

Compared with old Renault, the path Qin Zhiyuan chose was much more difficult.

Of course, Qin Zhiyuan's road is also more challenging. If he can really do it, he will have a greater sense of accomplishment than the old Renault.

"Rules are set by people. Some people can only live within the rules set by others throughout their lives, and I want to be the one who makes the rules." Qin Zhiyuan did not mean to belittle the old Renault. Everyone has his own ambitions.

"Make rules..." Old Renault was thoughtful. Qin Zhiyuan's words seemed to open a door that had never been opened for Old Renault. Old Renault saw a wider sky.

"Tell me what you think." Old Renault was very interested in Qin Zhiyuan's thoughts.

"What do you think? How else can you think about making the people I love live happier, and making the people who love me live happier." Qin Zhiyuan had reservations.

"Your definition is too broad." Old Reno was dissatisfied.

"There is no way to be more specific, Louis, have you ever had an ideal?" Qin Zhiyuan asked.

"Of course, when I saw a car for the first time when I was 19, I wanted to make the best car in the world. So far, although my Renault is not the largest in the world, it is indeed the best in the world. ." Old Renault was very proud.

As an automobile manufacturer, the old Renault did really well. Of course, because of the existence of Ford, Renault does not look so good around the world, but it is indeed the best in Europe.

"So what now? Do you still have a goal in life?" Qin Zhiyuan was tireless.

"How many things deserve me to target him..." Old Renault smiled bitterly.

Standing in the position of old Renault, at the peak of life, as lonely as snow.

"You have earned enough money; your career has basically reached its peak; it seems that your life has been brilliant to the extreme. But Louis, you are only 40 years old, how will you spend the rest of your life? Although you have nothing to spend now? It's all money, but will you feel happy in the dead of night?" Qin Zhiyuan thought a little too much.

"Of course I am happy! One of the elements of happiness is to know how to be satisfied and grateful. Compared with most people's lives, I have no reason to be unhappy." Old Renault's tone was not so sure, and his eyes had dimmed.

"You are obviously not as happy as you seem, otherwise you should be in Paris now instead of staying on Djerba Island. Aren't you also pursuing new challenges?" Qin Zhiyuan was ruthless.

"Yes, I am just pursuing new challenges. I am tired of the same life, and so are you. I know that we are the same kind of people." Old Renault toasted.

"Of course! Otherwise we wouldn't sit together." Birds of a feather flock together. Qin Zhiyuan handed the cup over and asked Old Renault to fill it up again: "If I say that my ideal is to make all mankind live happily, then It is undoubtedly overestimating my ability. If it is too broad to make my people happy, then I just want to not disappoint the people who have expectations for me, and I don't want to lie down. Sleep on your laurels."

"I also have expectations for you, so Qin, don't let me down." Old Renault smiled a little reluctantly.

Hope is a seed. As long as you plant it, it will sprout one day.
