Expedition to Europe

In fact, Qin Zhiyuan doesn't care about the direction Germany develops after the war.

Many people will talk about how the Nazis in World War II were inhumane and how the Jews were miserable when they mentioned Germany, but in Qin Zhiyuan's view, these are all complaints without reason.

Compared with many ethnic groups that disappeared in human history, the Jews are already very lucky.

For example, the Mayans, the Indians, the Turks, the Babylonians...

Why doesn't anyone speak up for those ethnic groups?

As an aside, if the United States was not a victor in World War II, how should we comment on the Americans' "westward movement" now?

Even if we take a step back, the Jews are recognized as the nation with the most scientists, but the German black technology that many people talked about during World War II was developed on the basis of eliminating the Jews.

So Qin Zhiyuan has no ill feelings towards Germany. Whether it was the German emperor in power or Hitler in power, Germany was too far away from the Republic of China.

It is precisely because of this that Qin Zhiyuan can look at Germany from the perspective of an observer.

"If the current situation continues, the German Emperor may abdicate, and Germany will become a democratic country." Qin Zhiyuan expressed his opinion cautiously.

According to the history Qin Zhiyuan knew, the German Emperor would indeed abdicate, and the Weimar Republic was indeed a democratic country in the eyes of the Allies. If there were no accidents, it should be the same direction in this time and space.

Of course, because of the appearance of Qin Zhiyuan, this process may be faster.

"Democratic country? They can't even think about it. We will dismember Germany and turn it into countless small countries that pose no threat to France." Foch was ruthless.

"This is just wishful thinking. The British probably don't want to see France dominate the European continent, and the Americans don't want to see it either." Qin Zhiyuan told the truth.

Britain's role in Europe is to stir up trouble. The British have never wanted to see a unified Europe appear, because that would endanger the "independence" that the British are proud of and endanger the interests of the British.

The 21st century was when Qin Zhiyuan got into trouble. The British did join the European Union, but they refused to join the Eurozone. Of course, what Qin Zhiyuan didn't know was that after he got into trouble, Britain withdrew from the European Union...

"It's not the British's turn to speak on matters on the European continent." Foch was full of dominance.

The British are now the undisputed number one country in the world, but on the continent, the French look down on the British, the Germans look down on the British, and the Americans look down on the British.

"I'm afraid not necessarily. If the Americans are added, France has no advantage and it's probably difficult to achieve the goal." Qin Zhiyuan did not avoid it.

The relationship between the United States, Britain and France is very special. Britain used to be the suzerain of the United States. During the American War of Independence, the French gave the Americans a lot of help, so the British hated the French, but when faced with the threat of the Germans, France and Britain had to keep each other warm.

Of course, the United States is now the creditor of Britain and France. Among the three countries of Britain, France and the United States, the status of Americans is rising. Although it has not reached the level of a single power, it has at least become equal to Britain and France.

If the role of the United States in Europe in 1918 was just a logistics base, then when the United States reached the stage of rapid military expansion in 1918, the speed of 250,000 people a month was indeed surprising.

Not a certain month, but every month.

"Damn it, Americans may not stand on the same side as the British." Foch was not as proficient in politics as in military affairs, at least not sharp enough.

"But Americans will not stand on the same side as France." Qin Zhiyuan was not optimistic about the weak alliance between the United States and France.

Before the United States declared war on Germany in 1917, the idea of ​​"isolationism" in the United States was rampant. They did not help anyone, made a fortune in silence and only focused on doing business. It was only later that Germany had no money, and the United States chose to stand in line in pursuit of maximizing benefits.

So don't think that the United States joined the war for the so-called "justice". They just wanted to join the world war because they had no money to make, and find a way to make a fortune after the war.

If Europe still had money to buy things, Americans would not be so anxious to join the war.

On the other hand, if the United States does not participate in the war, once the world war is over, the distribution of benefits after the war will have nothing to do with the United States.

"To be honest, I don't think Germany is a threat to France after the war, if France does not treat Germany too harshly after the war. For France, a potential opponent is growing stronger, which is more worthy of France's attention." Qin Zhiyuan pointed out the bear in the north in a subtle way.

"Are you talking about Russia?" Foch disagreed, because no matter how you look at it, the current European Russia does not pose any threat to France.

The "Brest-Litovsk Treaty" imposed by Germany on Russia is equivalent to directly dismembering Russia, and the Russian Bolsheviks, who have always claimed to be "iron-blooded and fearless", acquiesced to the existence of the "Brest-Litovsk Treaty" and did not continue to entangle.

Russia's doing this is equivalent to losing all its dignity as a great power, and the French are heartbroken and disgusted.

Russia under the Tsar is France's ally and an important partner for France to balance Germany. Without Russia as an ally, the French now have no sense of security, so the mainstream idea in France now is to dismember Germany.

Just like Germany dismembered Russia.

"Yes, it's Russia. The Russians are full of grief and anger now. You can imagine what kind of energy they will burst out if they are given time. So don't underestimate Russia, they will become a troublemaker." Qin Zhiyuan was cautious.

To be honest, Soviet Russia after World War II was absolutely terrifying. Not only Europe, but Asia was also shrouded in the shadow of Soviet Russia, and it could even be felt in the United States as far away as the Americas.

The Russians' greed for land is unsettling to all nations.

Everyone must understand one thing. The Russians have no bottom line. They are like polar bears wandering in the Arctic Circle and will attack all creatures they see.

"This is beyond the scope of our decision." Foch also began to feel a headache.

Therefore, Foch and Qin Zhiyuan decided to go to Clemenceau, and at the same time, they also wanted to torment Raymond Poengale. Such a big matter would definitely not be able to bypass the French president.

It was already 3 o'clock in the morning, but neither Foch nor Qin Zhiyuan felt sleepy at all.

Clemenceau did not rest, he was still working. As the French Prime Minister, Clemenceau had endless work to do.

Raymond Poincaré had already rested, but when he heard the arrival of Clemenceau, Foch, and Qin Zhiyuan, Poengale immediately lost all sleep.

"Tell me, what is your decision?" Po Ngalay was practicing democracy.

"To be honest, we don't have a unified opinion. Of course we can send people to kill Ludendorff. If there is a chance, we must do it. The key to the problem is what role France should play in this process and what can we get? , This is something we cannot decide." Clemenceau was in high spirits.

The world war had been going on for four years, and now that it was finally coming to an end, Clemenceau had reason to be excited.

No matter how the world war ended, it would be during Clemenceau's term.

From this point of view, Clemenceau has the qualifications to leave a name in history, which is enough for a politician to be excited.

"Is it possible for us to establish a pro-French government in Germany?" Poengale's imagination was wide open.

"It's difficult. The British and Americans will not sit idly by." Clemenceau has enough political acumen and does not need Qin Zhiyuan to remind him.

At this point, Qin Zhiyuan wanted to express his opinion, but thinking about Foch's warning when he came, Qin Zhiyuan adjusted his sitting posture and remained silent.

Even a small movement attracted the attention of Poengale. This was the Elysee Palace, Poengale's official residence. Of course, there was no such thing as an inappropriate chair.

"Qin, do you have any good ideas?" Po Njiale was full of expectations.

Po Nga Lai now has a good impression of Qin Zhiyuan.

Not to mention Qin Zhiyuan's achievements on the battlefield, the "United Oil Company" alone can provide Poengale with a steady stream of income. These are all legal and make more than Poengale can earn as president. Much more.

What about the president? He still has to eat, drink and sleep. If he leaves the position of president, Paengale's life will be far less comfortable than that of old Renault.

Therefore, real money is the last word, whether it is for a country or an individual.

"Uh..." Qin Zhiyuan glanced at Foch subconsciously before answering Peng Jialai's question.

Foch still maintained a numb expression, seemingly without any sense of existence.

"Ahaha... Please, Qin, don't worry about us old guys. We are all old. Youth is your capital. Even if you say or do something wrong, don't become afraid to say or do something because of it. French The future is yours, and one day you will have to make independent decisions to determine the direction of this country." Po Ngalay laughed heartily and encouraged Qin Zhiyuan, who was a little hesitant.

To be elected president, Poengale does have something special, at least in terms of being open-minded and encouraging young people.

Although Poengale has never had a significant presence, it is remarkable in itself that he can serve as the leader of France during the world war.

Think about it, during the world wars, French Prime Ministers changed several times, but Pain Garay's position was as stable as rock. This is very telling.

"Americans always talk about democracy. There may be an opportunity here." Qin Zhiyuan expressed his opinion cautiously.

"Yes, that son of a bitch Wilson, he just stands and talks without hurting his back! National self-determination, national self-determination... If he dares to implement national self-determination in the United States, I agree to implement national self-determination in French territories around the world." Poengale cursed when he mentioned U.S. President Wilson.

Wilson's "Fourteen Points" have now become a notorious proposal. They may have a market in the hearts of ambitious people in the vast colonies around the world, but in the current mainstream European society, this "Fourteen Points" have become It has become synonymous with smelly streets, and almost everyone curses it when they mention it, even the Netherlands, which was forced to abandon Lanfang some time ago.

Although the Netherlands is a small country, it actually has a colony in America...

"Yes, if there is a candidate who can be accepted by the German people, there will be nothing to say compared to the British and Americans." Clemenceau did not say anything, and suddenly felt blessed.

Indeed, there is such a person in France today.
