Expedition to Europe

Three days later, Randall Fanny and his reporters were released, and then they were escorted by soldiers directly to a cruise ship bound for London.

This was the last batch of reporters to leave Tokyo. From now on, all newspapers that want to station reporters in Tokyo need to apply in advance and enter Japan after being reviewed by the Lanfang Headquarters in Japan.

However, according to the results agreed upon by Girardin and Yang Kai, all applications will not be approved within the next year.

The whole process of Girardin handling this matter was reported to Qin Zhiyuan by Yang Kai. Qin Zhiyuan smiled after reading it and did not take it to heart.

Tokyo was Qin Zhiyuan's test product for Girardin. If Girardin could not even pass this level, it would be too shameful for Girardin's title of "genius".

At the end of January, news came from Syria that the Syrian army had been defeated again and again on the front line and could not resist the Iraqi attack at all. The defense line had penetrated 50 kilometers into Syria from the initial Syrian-Israeli border. The oil fields discovered on the Syrian-Israeli border were all under the control of the Iraqis. If there was no external intervention, France would be defeated in Syria.

Against this background, Qin Zhiyuan welcomed Charles Mangin, the French Governor General of French Indochina.

The last time Qin Zhiyuan saw Mangin was in Paris, France, when the Foreign Legion Cemetery for Fallen Soldiers was completed, and Charles Mangin went to attend the inauguration ceremony.

As for when Charles Mangin came to the Far East to take office, Qin Zhiyuan did not meet Mangin because of a series of unbearable words and deeds by Charles Mangin at the time.

Compared with four years ago, Mangin has gained some weight, has more beard on his face, bloodshot eyes, and blisters at the corners of his mouth due to inflammation.

Considering the friendship of "comrades" who had fought side by side, Qin Zhiyuan still gave Manjing a hug. Although the relationship between Qin Zhiyuan and Manjing was not very good a few years ago, this time they met, they had the intention of forgetting their grudges with a smile.

"Old buddy, are you okay?" It is not easy to hear such words from Qin Zhiyuan. Qin Zhiyuan is not even 30 years old, which is really a bit weird.

"Not good, you look good." Manjing tried to squeeze out a smile, but it looked a bit ferocious.

The nickname "butcher" is not given for nothing.

"It's okay. Compared with the current France, Lanfang's situation is not bad." Qin Zhiyuan did not say anything and directly pointed out the current embarrassment of France.

"Ha——" Manjing walked into the living room with Qin Zhiyuan without saying a word.

Julie greeted at the door of the hall. Seeing Manjing coming in, Julie came over and performed a court salute.

"Greetings to you, Your Highness, please take me to send a blessing from an old soldier to Marshal Foch." Manjing returned the salute, and the etiquette was quite thoughtful.

"Thank you--" Julie thanked politely, and then followed Qin Zhiyuan to lead Manjing into the living room.

After Julie served tea and left, Manjing frowned: "It seems that you already know about Syria-damn it, you must know where your instructor is, how could it be hidden from you."

Qin Zhiyuan did not respond, and waited leisurely for Manjing to make a request.

Manjing did not beat around the bush, and directly put forward his request: "France needs help, otherwise France will lose face, and you Lanfang, as a former ally of France, will also lose face. For the sake of our friendship, please don't stand by and watch. I know you have the ability. You have an army in Jerusalem. You only need one order to drive the Iraqis back."

"You said it all, we were just former allies--" Qin Zhiyuan drank a sip of water, then played with the cup without putting it down. There was no embarrassment or gloating on his face, only frank calmness.

"Yes, we were allies. Although I don't like you very much, I know that your army is much stronger than those Syrians in terms of combat. Of course, I know that you don't like me very much either, but it doesn't matter. The friendship between Lanfang and France is not determined by the relationship between us. Simply put, what do you want? Pierre hired two divisions from you, and now I have to hire two divisions too-" Manjing's frankness is almost a bit cute. Facing such a person who is not good at pretending-or disdains pretending, it is indeed difficult to have a bad impression.

If you don't consider this person's behavior.

"Pierre didn't spend a penny on the troops he hired-" Qin Zhiyuan didn't want to talk about money. Perhaps at the beginning of the establishment of the Foreign Legion, the lives of Chinese people were clearly marked, but now, the lives of Lanfang soldiers are priceless. If Manjing wants to spend money to hire a team of mercenaries to Syria, Qin Zhiyuan can only send him away.

"Damn it, I knew it would be like this. Okay, can you tell me what you want?" Man Jing's face showed an expression of "as expected", without much regret. Before Qin Zhiyuan could speak, Man Jing first put forward the conditions: "First of all, I want to make it clear that France will not trade territory. This is related to the fundamental interests of France. There is no room for negotiation."

Man Jing really has a bottom line.

But it doesn't matter. The conditions show that the French are not anxious enough. If the situation is critical enough, France will not have anything that cannot be brought to the negotiation table.

"There is a new movie to be shown at the National Grand Theater tonight. If possible, we can go and see it together." Qin Zhiyuan stopped talking about this matter and invited Man Jing instead.

"Movies - God, I'm talking to you about war, but you're talking to me about movies!" This was obviously beyond Manjing's expectations, and Manjing shouted in surprise.

"If you're not interested, forget it." Qin Zhiyuan didn't want to say more, and picked up the teacup to see him off.

Manjing stood there and looked at Qin Zhiyuan angrily for a long time, and then strode out of the living room accompanied by Dong Xingxiu.

"Is that the end of the talk?" As soon as Manjing left, Julie poked her head out of the side hall door.

"It's over, you want to ask others but you can't put down your face, always thinking that the world revolves around them, and others should act according to their standards, standard French hypocrisy." Qin Zhiyuan was not polite.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't say it so badly, it's not as bad as you say." Julie was immediately unhappy. No matter how France declined, it was still Julie's motherland.

"Let's not talk about this, how about inviting you to the movies tonight?" Qin Zhiyuan changed the subject and wanted to invite Julie to spend a world of two.

"Okay, don't tell Misha——" Julie whispered in Qin Zhiyuan's ear, and her sneaky look was very cute.

It's a pity that Qin Zhiyuan ignored the charm of the movie. When he went to the National Grand Theater at night, Qin Zhiyuan still brought his family, even the swaddled Xiao Doudou.

The original text is on Liu # 9 @Book/Bar!

"My poor world of two people——" Julie was still lamenting when she got on the car.

"You should have forgotten this word from the day you gave birth to a child." Misha's complaints are also very powerful now.

"Yes, what's more sad is that I gave birth to two more, and my husband also had a little one, and then the little one gave him another little one——" Julie is also amazing, and her good life has become a tongue twister.

"Ha, it's really big news, the Queen of Lan Fang is eager to get married——" Misha said, while picking up Xiao Doudou's fingers and scratching Julie's face.

This action seems to mean "shame" in the Chinese world.

Qin De has completely betrayed his mother. Seeing Misha making this gesture, Qin De immediately started to shout "Shame on you".

This naturally immediately attracted Julie's strong suppression.

This is also good. Although it is not the world of two people that Julie imagined, it is also good to have a lively family.

The movie released tonight is called "Sniper of Life and Death". It is adapted from the story of McTavish assassinating Ludendorff. However, it is a bit different from reality. The "Mike" in the movie is a thorough Chinese. After completing the assassination mission, Mike was surrounded by the German army and finally died in battle.

The most impressive thing in the whole movie is the love between Mike and the nurse. In order to ensure the best visual enjoyment, the director team used a lift and wire, and went to the Baikal National Park in the northern region of Lanfang when shooting.

Baikal National Park is Lan Fang's fourth national park. In fact, when it comes to beautiful scenery, many islands in Lan Fang, such as Penglai Island and Lanling Island, are no less beautiful than Baikal National Park. The scenery of Baikal National Park is vast and magnificent, with a kind of empty and lonely beauty, which fits the mood of Mike and the nurse's love.

"Sniper" is also the first blockbuster invested by Lan Fang Royal Photography. The production cost far exceeds the sum of the previous war-themed films. This has also become a classic work of Lan Fang Royal Photography. The elements of love, war, destruction, and eternal spirit are all very abundant, leaving other films of this era far behind.

At the end of the film, facing the approaching German army, Mike threw away his pistol with no bullets, pulled the grenade in his hand, and shouted "Freedom!"

This also became the highlight of the whole film, and it greatly sublimated the meaning of the whole film. At this moment, all the audience understood the significance of Lan Fang's participation in the World War. This is the struggle of freedom against power and tyranny, this is the heroic and unyielding spirit of knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, and this is the most precious sacrifice of a backward nation to prove its own value.

When the lights came on, all the audience stood up and applauded, and the applause lasted for a long time.

Qin Zhiyuan was sitting in the box on the second floor. Standing in Qin Zhiyuan's position, Qin Zhiyuan could see Foch, whose beard was trembling slightly because of excitement, Su Mo, who was crying and hugging McTavish who was applauding, and Charles Mangin, who had a gloomy expression but was full of emotion.

This night can change a lot of things.
