Expedition to Europe

As expected, the death of Rahim and Jorgensen caused a stir in North Africa.

In this era, there was no concept of "terrorists", so almost all official announcements regarded this incident as a political conspiracy.

As for the mastermind behind the scenes, it is obvious that it is Qin Zhiyuan and old Renault of the United Petroleum Company.

No one who can get ahead in the governments of various countries is a fool. If we go back to the conclusion that whoever benefits is the mastermind, the United Petroleum Company is indeed the biggest suspect.

On this issue, the United Petroleum Company did not express any opinion, allowing the Algerians, Tunisians and British to throw dirty water on it without any distinction.

It seems very abnormal, because this is not in line with Qin Zhiyuan's usual style.

But it seems very normal, because no matter what Qin Zhiyuan says now, he can't get rid of the suspicion of behind-the-scenes manipulation. If this is the case, then simply say nothing.

Three days later, another tragedy shocked North Africa.

An organization called "Brotherhood Alliance" raided a gathering place of extreme Tunisians. During the whole raid, this armed force called "Brotherhood Alliance" killed more than 400 people, killing the entire Tunisian gathering place, regardless of gender, age or young.

Brotherhood Alliance?

What kind of organization is this? What are their political demands?

For a time, almost the whole world was asking.

No one knows the origin of this "Brotherhood Alliance". The only thing that can be confirmed is that this is an armed force that believes in fetishism, and it is the most primitive kind of belief. They are crazy enough, violent enough, and cruel enough, just like prehistoric humans who have just walked out of the desert. They extremely advocate force and advocate using violence to get everything they want.

The emergence of "Brotherhood Alliance" makes the situation in North Africa look more chaotic and also causes panic to a certain extent.

On Penglai Island, Scott James, the French ambassador to Lanfang, asked to see Qin Zhiyuan.

When Scott James met Qin Zhiyuan, Old Renault was there.

"Mr. Louis, nice to meet you." Scott James certainly recognized Old Renault, and the two had a good relationship, so Scott James took the initiative to greet him.

"I'm also very happy to see you, Scott, you look really energetic today." Old Renault was gentle and elegant.

"Thank you very much, you look good too." Scott James was quite respectful in front of Old Renault, the local snake in the bar.

"Let's talk business, Scott, you are definitely not here to greet Louis." Qin Zhiyuan smiled and blinked his eyes while sitting in a rocking chair.

Getting along with Old Renault really made Qin Zhiyuan very relaxed. When facing Old Renault, Qin Zhiyuan could let go of his guard a little and relieve the ubiquitous pressure with a relatively relaxed mentality.

Old Renault can be said to have watched Qin Zhiyuan grow from a laborer to a king step by step. In front of Old Renault, Qin Zhiyuan had no mask and didn't want to have a mask. Even if Qin Zhiyuan reached the peak of his life, Qin Zhiyuan hoped to share his happiness with others. Obviously, Old Renault was Qin Zhiyuan's tree hole.

"Your Majesty, it's a pleasure to see you so relaxed and happy, but my respected Majesty, can you please show some mercy and let our Governor Lyautey relax a little? Perhaps you don't know that if it weren't for the strict order of the Prime Minister, the Governor would probably be on his way to Lanfang now. The Foreign Legion in Tunisia is really too much, you need to restrain them." Scott James was begging with a sad face.

At present, the former Minister of the Army Louis Herbert Lyautey is the Governor of Algeria. Lyautey has a good relationship with Qin Zhiyuan and is also one of the shareholders of United Petroleum. Of course, he is also the kind of person who doesn't care about anything but takes money.

The reason why the Foreign Legion stationed in North Africa by Qin Zhiyuan is lawless is not unrelated to the connivance of Qin Zhiyuan and Lyautey, so Lyautey said loudly, but did not actually take action, and would not go to Lanfang to ask for punishment.

Well, it is still possible to come to Lanfang, but it is probably because Qin Zhiyuan is the one who has a big face to drink with.

"What should I do? This place is tens of thousands of kilometers away from North Africa. I don't know the specific situation there, but since I chose to send people to garrison there, I have to trust my soldiers. Or you teach me what to do? We must ensure the benefits of the French government, but we must not provoke, and we must maintain social stability... God, I might as well become the president of France." Qin Zhiyuan was also full of resentment.

"Your Majesty, your idea is very innovative." Scott James was a little embarrassed.

With Qin Zhiyuan's identity, it is harmless to make a joke about the French president, but Scott James is different. No matter what Qin Zhiyuan says, Scott James is not good at responding to this.

"Don't think so. French politics is 10,000 times more complicated than Lan Fang. If you don't want to become a psychopath, don't try to hit the French president." Old Renault was unscrupulous.

Listen, this is the style of a real boss, who doesn't even take the French president seriously.

Old Renault does have this qualification, for example, when Raymond Poincaré was in office, when old Renault saw Raymond Poincaré, he would take the initiative to greet him, but when Raymond Poincaré stepped down, if Raymond Poincaré wanted to see old Renault, he would have to see if he had time.

This is the sadness of the democratically elected president.

With old Leno beside him, Scott James' momentum looks even more humble.

Fortunately, Scott James did not forget his purpose: "Over in Algeria, the current situation is very complicated. In any case, it is also a province of France. United Petroleum can exploit the oil in the new Baku area to make profits, but The behavior of the Foreign Legion must be restrained, and at least no evil incidents against Algerians can happen again.”

Scott James tried to use sensitive words carefully so as not to overly irritate Qin Zhiyuan.

However, it seems to have no effect. Qin Zhiyuan has not expressed his position yet. Old Renault reacted fiercely at first: "What do you mean must be restrained? The foreign legions and soldiers stationed by United Oil in the New Baku area are soldiers. Can you imagine that the behavior of soldiers must be restrained? ? If the military becomes helpless, it will lose its violent function, and if it loses its violent function, how will the value of the military's existence be reflected? How to protect the interests of the French government? ?”

Old Reno asked a series of questions, which made Scott James sweat profusely.

Well, the fireplace in the palace is getting really hot.

"The intention of the Parliament is not to prevent the army from using violence, but to keep a low profile as much as possible during this period to avoid irritating the Algerians at this critical moment, which may cause the situation to further deteriorate. You may already know, just now Yesterday, an organization called the 'Brotherhood Alliance' went on a killing spree in Tunisia. This is a very bad sign and may even lead to genocide. By then the situation will be out of control and our interests will not be gained. No guarantee at all." Scott James also said sincerely.

Of course, I am sincere. Lanfang and France are still allies, and they are still in the honeymoon period. It is the kind of relationship where both prosper and suffer. Scott James should stand on the same side as Qin Zhiyuan and old Renault both emotionally and rationally. front.

"The problem now is not with us, but with the Algerians and Tunisians. Since the parliament has seen the hidden dangers, then the parliament should make an assessment. It is precisely because of the national consciousness of the Algerians and Tunisians. Awakening, the Algerians and Tunisians have more demands, and the situation has deteriorated to this extent. In this process, we are a passive party, not actively provoking. If there is provocation, Dial, then it is the emergence of the new Baku oil field. It is precisely because of this huge wealth that it arouses everyone's ambition. Faced with this situation, I am not sure what Mr. Deschanel and Mr. Alexander will do. I think if we follow the parliament's ideas, then the final result would probably be that United Oil launches the New Baku Oilfield and returns the New Baku Oilfield to Algerians." Qin Zhiyuan directly stated the worst outcome without leaving a fig leaf.

"That's absolutely impossible!" Old Renault first objected.

"It is indeed impossible." Scott James agreed, and also raised more questions: "France will not give up the new Baku oil field, and France will not give up Algeria, although some Algerians are currently making unreasonable demands. , but that is absolutely impossible, everyone knows this. But the problem is that is not the case. Some people insist on using tough methods to deal with the Algerians, and there are always voices in the Congress calling for "soft methods." Under this situation, if the New Baku Infantry Regiment engages in another "expulsion incident" like the one some time ago, even if I’m afraid that Mr. Deschanel and Mr. Pressure will not be able to suppress those criticisms, and they will still be in trouble.”

The French Congress, well, it is a hodgepodge. No matter what resolution the Congress makes, it is not unusual. Even if the Congress agrees to Algeria's independence tomorrow, it is normal.

"Decharnel... Haha, I'm afraid Mr. Descharnel wants to use 'soft tactics' the most." Old Reno did not want to save face for the president.

Scott James couldn't answer these words, and Scott James could only make a helpless gesture to laugh at himself.

"Mr. Deschanel...well, I will have a good talk with him after a while." Qin Zhiyuan was a little longing.

In fact, tomorrow morning, Qin Zhiyuan will set off for the Republic of China, and then go around to Europe to attend the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games and pay a friendly visit to various European countries.

At that time, Qin Zhiyuan will have plenty of opportunities to talk slowly with Deshanel.
