Expedition to Europe
Chapter 701 The miserable William
In this power transition in France, Qin Zhiyuan can only play a role in fueling the situation. When it comes to the implementation stage, Qin Zhiyuan has nothing to do with it. On the contrary, in order to avoid suspicion, Qin Zhiyuan had better leave France.
According to the original plan, Qin Zhiyuan will visit Germany in a week.
But in this situation, there is no point in staying in France. The president cannot handle government affairs now, and the prime minister is busy impeaching the president and replacing him. Even if Qin Zhiyuan wants to promote relations between the two countries, it is unrealistic, so Qin Zhiyuan visits Germany in advance.
German Emperor William III prepared to welcome Qin Zhiyuan's visit early.
After knowing that Qin Zhiyuan would visit Germany in advance, German Emperor William III took Queen Cecilia to the border to welcome Qin Zhiyuan.
As soon as Qin Zhiyuan's special train entered the German border, William and Cecilia boarded Qin Zhiyuan's special train and went to Berlin with Qin Zhiyuan.
The relationship between William III and Qin Zhiyuan is quite special. Before the end of the World War, William had a series of secret agreements with Qin Zhiyuan. After the end of the World War, under the operation of Qin Zhiyuan and William III, the Lan Fang Foreign Legion became the base camp for Germany to preserve its military strength. Now there are more than 100,000 German soldiers serving in the Lan Fang Army. In the northern border area of Lan Fang, there are even two reorganized divisions composed entirely of Germans.
One of these two divisions is a tank division and the other is a semi-mechanized division. All the weapons used are paid by the German government. Lan Fang has the right to use these two divisions, but not the ownership. When Germany needs them, these two divisions must return to Germany unconditionally.
This is part of the agreement between Qin Zhiyuan and William III.
Germany and Lan Fang not only have military cooperation, but also close cooperation in the economy.
When Lan Fang was first established, it obtained enough industrial machinery, skilled workers and engineers from Germany through a half-buy and half-give method. These machines and engineers strongly supported Lan Fang's industrial construction. To date, about half of the workers and engineers have joined Lan Fang nationality, and nearly half of the workers and engineers still retain German nationality. They will return to Germany in the future to participate in Germany's reconstruction.
Yes, although the war has ended for two years, Germany's reconstruction has not begun. Although the Americans and British have provided loans and basic humanitarian aid to Germany, Germany cannot use this money for reconstruction work, but can only use it to repay war reparations. In addition, the French who are eager to split Germany are eyeing it covetously. If William III wants to rebuild Germany, he still needs time to wait for a better opportunity.
The last time Qin Zhiyuan saw William III was more than half a year ago. Seeing William III again, Qin Zhiyuan was really a little emotional.
William III used to be a handsome guy with flowing blond hair, deep brown eyes, a high nose bridge, and double eyelids. Even if evaluated by the oriental aesthetic standards, he can be called a jade crown and a meteor.
When he saw William III again, although his hair was not white, there were wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and his eyes were filled with unresolved sorrow and haggardness. The deepest impression William III gave Qin Zhiyuan was "tired", the kind of exhaustion from the heart.
William III was thirty, but he was Qin De's godfather. Qin Zhiyuan had to care about him: "It seems that your life is not easy."
William was watching Julie and Cecilia teasing Qin De. When he heard what Qin Zhiyuan said, William III showed a horrified expression, and then calmed down: "No problem, who can live without troubles? I can handle it."
Every family has its own problems, even the king, especially William III, who is in a precarious situation. It is certain that he will have a hard time. However, William III also has his own self-esteem. He still has to deal with his family affairs by himself. William III does not want to rely on external forces.
At least not now.
What Qin Zhiyuan had to do was to show his attitude, so he said sincerely: "No matter what aspect, if you need my help, please don't hesitate."
Qin Zhiyuan has never stayed out of Germany's predicament.
Since Lan Fang's food supply has been basically self-sufficient, almost every month, one or two ships will leave Lan Fang for Germany, loaded with either rice or various fish and meat.
For the whole of Germany, this level of support is just a drop in the bucket, but it is enough to show its attitude.
William III knew that Lan Fang was not having a good time. When Lan Fang first started to send supplies to Germany, as a newly established country, Lan Fang not only had to feed its own people, but also had to take into account the Republic of China, which was still in a mess, and faced the provocations of RB and Australia, as well as the pressure of the British. It was enough to provide support to Germany in an environment surrounded by wolves.
Everyone knows how to add icing on the cake, but it is even more difficult to send charcoal in the snow. Everyone knows this truth, but how many people can really do it?
"I understand. If I can't hold on, I will definitely go find you." William III was still smiling, but there was indeed sadness behind his smile.
Seeing William III's firm attitude, Qin Zhiyuan didn't waste any words and turned around to call Gao Hongshi.
"What's new in Germany recently?" Qin Zhiyuan wanted to get to the bottom of it.
"Didn't you read the report I gave you?" Gao Hongshi was a little silly.
"No." Qin Zhiyuan didn't feel embarrassed at all. Do I need to ask you if I've read it?
"William II is back——" Gao Hongshi simply said this.
Qin Zhiyuan immediately realized it.
William III ascended the throne not on the premise that William II had died, but on the premise that William II was no longer able to control the country and fled to the Netherlands to seek refuge with his cousin. This "root" was a bit unreasonable.
After the World War, Britain and France once asked the Queen of the Netherlands to hand over William II and resolutely put William II on trial.
The Queen of the Netherlands was also very tough. She would rather not have the ocean-going freighters seized by the Allies during the war, and she was determined not to hand over her cousin.
So William II has been living under the protection of the Queen of the Netherlands until now.
By now, the war has ended, various compensation conditions have been negotiated, and the voices demanding William II to be tried have subsided, so William II quietly returned to Berlin.
A country cannot be without a monarch for a day, and a country cannot have two monarchs for a day. A monk can carry water to drink, but two emperors must fight.
So William III has had a hard time recently.
After understanding the reason for William III's depression, Qin Zhiyuan turned around and went back inside.
The original text can be found in the Six # 9 @Books/Bar!
"Have a drink?" Qin Zhiyuan came to the wine cabinet, ready to let William III get drunk to relieve his worries.
If a friend has troubles and refuses to tell you, then the best way is not to ask him about it, but to accompany him to drink, play football with him, and do whatever he wants with him.
"Okay." William III seemed to have the idea of having a drink.
With women and children around, Qin Zhiyuan and William III still noticed the impact and deliberately stood by the window away from Qin De and Cecilia to drink.
Well, Qin Zhiyuan didn't get too close to the window, for fear that the King of Lanfang and the King of Germany would also fall off the train, and he also mentioned it casually.
"French President - RB Emperor -" After hearing this, William III's expression was also broken.
In fact, the European royal families are basically related by blood, so they have always been closely connected, and the relationship between the royal families is also good, with a sense of sharing honor and disgrace. Now, hearing that the "RB Emperor" behaved so outrageously, William III was also in tears and laughter.
"When I received the report, my expression was similar to yours. No wonder there have been people in RB calling for the Crown Prince to be the regent. The Taisho Emperor is really-" Qin Zhiyuan couldn't find an adjective to describe this strange king, so he could only say "haha".
"I heard that Hirohito was seriously injured?" William III's expression was playful.
Just like in the world war, France still has no secrets from Germany. It is estimated that William III received the real reason why Deschanel and others fell off the train earlier than Qin Zhiyuan. Although the Bois de Boulogne is the world of the Foreign Legion, it is strictly speaking also French territory. There are no secrets for the Germans there, which shows the infiltration of the Germans into France.
"He must be injured, otherwise many people will die. We should choose the lesser of two evils. Let Hirohito suffer and let the world be happy." Qin Zhiyuan had no intention of hiding anything and just told it all.
"You are really capable of doing it." William III just finished speaking and immediately shook his head and laughed.
William III had a personal experience of how ruthless Qin Zhiyuan was. If Qin Zhiyuan was not so cruel, then William III would not have become Qin Zhiyuan's prisoner of war in Fer-en-Tad-Noire.
"What else can I do? Leaving a hidden danger that may cause trouble for me at any time? No, I won't do that." Qin Zhiyuan did not allow that situation to happen.
"Have you never thought about the international impact?" William thought thoughtfully.
"Impact? I will first ensure the stability of the people's livelihood and the environment around the country. When the granaries are full, people know etiquette, and when they have enough food and clothing, they know honor and disgrace. How can there be so many things to pay attention to when they can't even eat enough? Those who want to condemn others are all dead and bored. They can't even live a good life at home, so how can they expect any impact?" Qin Zhiyuan thought it through.
"When the granaries are full, people know etiquette; when they have enough food and clothing, they know honor and disgrace." This sentence is indeed true. The image of a country can only be taken care of when the national economy develops to a certain extent. If the people are poor and hungry, it will be useless even if the image of the country is praised to the sky.
"I can't be as free and easy as you." William III shook his head and smiled bitterly. It seems that his views on certain issues are deeply rooted in William's heart.
"This is not free and easy, this is forced! There is a saying in our Chinese world that 'no destruction, no construction'. Germany is now on the edge of the cliff. Where to go depends on your thoughts." Qin Zhiyuan seemed to have said nothing, but it seemed to have said everything.
