Expedition to Europe

After more than a year in politics, Pierre finally figured out one thing: all his reputation came from Foch.

If there was no Foch, few people would know Pierre. It was because of Foch's reputation that Pierre was able to get ahead in the military and then step into politics. Regardless of whether Pierre agrees or not, Pierre is still shrouded in Foch's halo. It was because of Foch's halo that Pierre was able to thrive.

If Pierre understands this, his future will be much smoother.

If Pierre returns to the military now and finds enough allies in the military, it will be much easier for Pierre to return to politics through the military.

Pierre still has a lot of advantages. Because of Qin Zhiyuan's relationship, the brothers Bastien and Garcia are Pierre's natural allies. At the same time, because of the relationship with the "LLL" company, Pierre and Bastien are still partners, which will make their relationship more harmonious.

"What about Capi? What about the project there?" Qin Zhiyuan was still thinking about his investment. Although the money was not a large sum for Qin Zhiyuan, Qin Zhiyuan still didn't want his money to go down the drain.

Qin Zhiyuan and Pierre have finalized a series of investments in the Capi area. At present, Qin Zhiyuan has organized a team of accountants in Paris, who will be responsible for investment projects in the Capi area.

If Pierre returns to the army, then Pierre will definitely resign as the mayor of Capi. Qin Zhiyuan doesn't want to work hard to make wedding clothes for others.

"The project continues. I recommend the successor to the mayor." Pierre explained simply.

That's it. Since the next mayor is recommended by Pierre, then he must be Pierre's man.

Pierre has made progress in politics for more than a year. At least now Pierre has begun to consciously cultivate his own power. This is a good start. Only the people he has cultivated can give Pierre enough help to the greatest extent.

"There is something I don't know whether I should say." Qin Zhiyuan wanted to say something, and he paid attention to the expressions of Miller and Poincaré when he spoke.

"If you are not sure, it is better not to say it." Poincaré blurted out.

"Tell me about it--" Miller's idea was different from Poincaré's.

"As for Victor, we all know that he is in a difficult situation now." Qin Zhiyuan still absolutely helped William III.

"I knew it--" Poincaré slapped his forehead in annoyance.

Miller didn't know what was going on, and old Renault and Pierre laughed a little weirdly.

"We sent him back to let him end the war, but as you all know, I became the target of the rebels the night before last, so if possible, can you loosen up Victor and don't be so harsh on him." Qin Zhiyuan put forward his own opinion.

Regarding William III's return to Germany, France's public statement is that William III took the initiative to escape. In fact, everyone in this room knows that the reason why William III was able to return to Germany was that the French took the initiative to let William III go. If France did not want William III to leave, he would not be able to escape even if William III turned into Superman.

It was Qin Zhiyuan and Clemenceau's idea to let William III go. The reason for letting William III go was to end the world war as soon as possible. To be honest, Qin Zhiyuan and Clemenceau did achieve their goal. The world war ended smoothly, the Treaty of Versailles was signed, and the League of Nations was established. It seemed that Europe had returned to its former tranquility, but now it seems that Germany's hidden dangers are surging again.

Qin Zhiyuan's meaning is very clear. If Germany continues like this, then Germany will sooner or later fall into chaos again. At that time, it is inevitable that some people will take risks, and Europe will fall into the shadow of war again.

Relatively speaking, Millerand was not very clear about the situation during that period, but Poincaré knew it, so when Qin Zhiyuan just started to talk, Poincaré did not want Qin Zhiyuan to continue.

Given the friendship between Qin Zhiyuan, Poincaré and Millerand, as long as Qin Zhiyuan spoke out, Poincaré and Millerand would have to give Qin Zhiyuan some face.

The decision to target Germany was made out of consideration for France's interests, but if Germany was not so threatening to France, Poincaré and Millerand would not necessarily be so firm.

The relationship between Britain, France and Germany is magical. They guard against each other and cooperate with each other. The relationship between France and Germany is not always so stiff. There is still cooperation between the two countries.

"This is not something we in France have the final say. The Germans should pay the price for the mistakes they made in the world war. This is the consensus of the whole world." Millerand still spoke in a false and empty manner.

"Well, the Germans should pay the price, but looking at Germany now, I don't think they have the ability to pay the price. France's hatred for Germany has been completely vented through this war. Let's forgive them. France can't always be hostile to Germany. That will exhaust France, and the British will benefit in the end." Qin Zhiyuan shifted the blame to others.

The French do hate the Germans, and the failure of the Franco-Prussian War is an eternal pain in the hearts of the French.

But for the Germans, the failure of the world war is a shadow that the Germans can never get rid of.

It's really not a good feeling to be an enemy of the whole world.

"I heard that several British people went to Berlin recently--" Pierre jumped out to make up the knife.

A British delegation did go to Berlin and was secretly discussing with the Germans about the loan provided by Britain to Germany. Of course, the French could not hide this matter from the French, so the French fully understood the British's sinister intentions.

"That doesn't explain the problem. The British have always pursued a "balance policy" towards the European continent. It would be abnormal if the British did not go to Germany now." Millerand was not stupid. He knew the British's trouble-making character.

"Ha, the Americans have long begun to show goodwill to the Germans, and now it's the British, so what about us? If this goes on, the Germans will only hate the French in their hearts, and have nothing to do with the Americans and the British." Old Renault was still straightforward and lifted the last fig leaf.

As soon as the World War ended, the Americans shouted for humanitarian aid to Germany. The person who shouted the loudest was the future US President Hoover. After the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, the American consortium began to provide loans to Germany to help Germany restore its strength. Now the British have joined in.

Good! They are indeed father and son, their ways of thinking are so similar.

"Whatever they want, if we can beat them the first time, we can beat them the second time." Millerand was confident, loud and high-pitched.

The original text is in the six # 9 @book/bar!

"That's not necessarily true. You are the current prime minister, so you must know the current situation of France. The current situation is that we can't afford to fight, we can't afford the damage of another world war. If it happens again, then we might as well merge with Romania." Pierre disagreed.

The biggest damage that the world war brought to France was the reduction of population, because those stupid French generals, many young French guys sacrificed their lives on the battlefield. They were indeed brave, but the damage they brought to France was not small at all.

The French government still has statistics. During the entire World War, France lost nearly 15% of its population, most of which were young people of childbearing age. It can be said that France lost a whole generation during the World War, and this impact will last for decades. Therefore, France’s current population policy is very open. No matter where you are from, no matter what religion you believe in, no matter what skin color you have, as long as you live in France for three years, you can join the French nationality.

Well, France’s current population policy will affect hundreds of years. This is really a mistake again and again.

"It’s not that dangerous yet. As long as we give us time, we can still recover our strength." Poincaré has the will.

"The question is whether we have so much time." Old Renault is not optimistic.

Old Renault’s worries are still reasonable. Germany’s original population base is larger than France. Germany’s losses in the World War were not small, but it was not to the extent of breaking bones. Old Renault can be sure that if we only consider the population, Germany will definitely need less time to recover to its pre-World War scale than France. If the Germans still hate the French as much as they do now, it will be the end of France.

Of course, because of the existence of Lan Fang and Britain, France may not be defeated so quickly, but if we consider the relationship between Qin Zhiyuan and William III, it is not so optimistic.

After Old Renault finished speaking, Poincaré and Millerand lost interest in talking, and Qin Zhiyuan and Pierre only had eye contact. The room was so quiet that you could hear breathing for a while.

"If, I mean if, if Germany does not regard France as a target?" In the end, it was Qin Zhiyuan who broke the deadlock.

"If it is not a target, how is it possible? We are next to the Germans. Will the Germans turn their backs to us and then cross the ocean to deal with the British?" Millerand is not very clear about the relationship between Qin Zhiyuan and William III.

Poincaré and Pierre did not speak. Poincaré turned his eyes and wandered in the void, with a thoughtful look on his face, and the boss with his mouth open was still unaware. Pierre looked at Qin Zhiyuan with a dull look, and there was a strong element of doubt.

Qin Zhiyuan gave Pierre a positive look in response, and then asked confidently: "Why not?"

Yes, why not?

One of the reasons why the Germans provoked the world war was to find enough markets for German industrial products. At that time, the British actually had the most colonies in the world. If it weren't for the British having a powerful navy, Germany's first target would definitely be the British.

That's not right. Even if the British had a fleet, Germany's first target would still be the British.
