Expedition to Europe

It sounds a bit unrealistic that an agent of Lan Fang went to a European republic to become president, but it is not surprising.

In fact, Europe has always had a large population mobility. The biggest resource these days is human resources. These European countries are a small group of small ones, and they do not have the nearly unlimited human resources of the Chinese world. Therefore, European countries have always attached great importance to population exchanges. It is normal for a person to be born in Germany, grow up in France, and finally join the British nationality. After all, the kings of many European countries are relatives. Although the world war was a bloody battle, the population mobility in peacetime was still very frequent.

The world war also caused great damage to Italy. Although Italy did not achieve good results, the Battle of the Isonzo River alone was fought more than a dozen times, and each time it brought tens of thousands of casualties to Italy. The total number of casualties was also hundreds of thousands, so Italy also had a need to introduce population.

Leo Henry and Joshua Jody came to Sardinia under such circumstances. The Italians on Sardinia not only did not reject them, but accepted them with the greatest enthusiasm.

In fact, there is an "International Brigade" on Sardinia now. This "International Brigade" is certainly not the famous one in history. That one will not appear until seven or eight years later. But there is one thing in common. The members of this "International Brigade" also come from many countries such as France, Greece, and the United Kingdom. They may have been workers or farmers before, but now they gather in Sardinia for a common goal to resist the brutal rule of the Italian government.

Europeans are actually very interesting. Many times they have a very strong sense of social responsibility, are compassionate, and are not afraid of powerful enemies-

Okay, the above is all nonsense. The reason why the "International Brigade" appeared in Sardinia is not because Europeans are so upright and kind, but because they are all waiting for a share of the benefits after the war.

There are not so many saints. There are people who are willing to sacrifice their lives for a lofty ideal, but they are definitely not everywhere. Europeans are not so noble, otherwise where would there be so many colonies in the world?

Qin Zhiyuan doesn't care about the "International Brigade" or the distribution of benefits after the war. Anyway, Lan Fang has already put the biggest piece of fat on its lips. Without the support of Corsica, the Republic of Sardinia will not be able to achieve anything. This is the consensus of everyone.

Qin Zhiyuan cares about the entire war situation. It was Qin Zhiyuan who directed the independence of Lan Fang, so Qin Zhiyuan knows very well what is most important now.

"Is the pressure on Italy big? Do you want me to send some troops over?" Qin Zhiyuan solves practical problems. For Sardinia now, military support is the most practical.

Qin Zhiyuan certainly can't send troops over openly, which would be an armed intervention in the internal affairs of Europe, which would arouse the vigilance of all European countries. The Republic of Sardinia has an "International Brigade". Lan Fang soldiers are still very good at passing themselves off as fakes. They have changed clothes and disguised themselves when fighting against the enemy more than once or twice, so they are very good at doing this.

"Of course it would be good if we could send some. My military strength is still insufficient. We haven't driven the Italians away completely yet, but it will be soon. I have slowed down the offensive during this period. There are still some problems in the Republic of Sardinia. We need to deal with them first before we can drive the Italians away completely." Joshua Jodi did not reject the intervention of the Lanfang army, which was also a statement.

"What's the matter?" Qin Zhiyuan attaches importance to every detail, because details determine success or failure.

"I originally wanted to announce joining France directly after driving the Italians away, but there is no consensus on this. There are still many voices of opposition. Many people just want to create an autonomous region with a high degree of autonomy, so that they can be recognized by the Italians." Joshua Jodi frowned when he said this. It seems that he has had a headache during this period.

In fact, according to Joshua Jodi's heart, it would be better to directly announce joining Lanfang, but there are greater risks in doing so, which would confirm the Italians' remarks that "Lanfang supports the Republic of Sardinia behind the scenes." In this way, it is better to join France. Look at how good Corsica is. In addition to being a French territory in name, everything is decided by the Corsicans, which is equivalent to Lan Fang.

"Autonomous region - tsk tsk, are these people brainless?" Qin Zhiyuan was a little angry at them for not fighting. They have already fought to this point, and they still fantasize about making peace with the Italians. It seems that they have to let the Italians take the pot once more before they know the truth that a good horse does not eat grass again.

No matter how much autonomy an "autonomous region" has, it can't be compared with an independent country after all. Not everyone has the idea of ​​independence like Qin Zhiyuan. Many people still have the idea of ​​"leaning on a big tree for shade". Keeping a low profile when the strength is not strong enough is also a way of survival.

"The crying child gets the candy. Many people come here for impure purposes. Many people want to make a fortune and leave. This is political speculation. What they really care about is themselves. Helping the Republic of Sardinia is just a byproduct." Joshua Jody has seen through it. If many things in this world are broken up, it is really chilling.

Qin Zhiyuan's attitude has always been radical, so after listening to Joshua Jody's words, Qin Zhiyuan didn't want to drag it out: "Then you can use this time to purify the team, send out the gifts that should be sent out, and clean up those who should be cleaned up."

Qin Zhiyuan's behavior was quite normal. Lan Fang's role in the establishment of the Republic of Sardinia was actually not honorable.

It doesn't matter if it's not honorable. International relations under the law of the jungle have never been affectionate. It's similar to chasing ups and downs in the stock market. For a country, of course it is necessary to educate its citizens to have correct views and noble sentiments internally, but there is nothing to say externally. There are only so many resources in the world. If other countries share more, their own country will have less. .

The "this period" that Qin Zhiyuan mentioned is equivalent to the darkness before dawn. This is also the best opportunity for the pure team. If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to start in the future.

Of course, Joshua Jodi also understood, so he did not resist: "Yes, this period has already been going on, for two or three months at most, and this side is almost the same as the other side of Corsica."

In a country, agents are the most accustomed to being shady. There is no morality or mental burden in doing this job. Anyway, they just do whatever it takes. .

Of course, these things can only be said in the secret room. Outside the door, Qin Zhiyuan is still the radiant "angel", and Joshua Jody is still the fighter who would rather break than bend.

Qin Zhiyuan did not stay in Sardinia for too long, and ended this seemingly child's play visit without even having a meal.

It just seemed like it, but in fact Qin Zhiyuan's simple visit had caused an uproar. The Italians almost immediately protested against Lan Fang and used severing diplomatic relations as a means to express their strong indignation.

Qin Zhiyuan is the first head of state of a major country to visit the Republic of Sardinia as a national leader, which scares the Italians from the bottom of their hearts. Qin Zhiyuan's visit to the Republic of Sardinia means that Lanfang has recognized the Republic of Sardinia, so with Will France recognize Lan Fang's friendship? Will Germany, which is almost completely consistent with Lan Fang, admit it? Will the United States, which has just teamed up with Lan Fang to almost carve up Yemen, admit it?

These problems were like maggots in the tarsal bones, lingering in Mussolini's mind, and severing diplomatic relations became Mussolini's only option.

Don't look at Mussolini's strong hostility towards Lanfang at the Cairo Conference. In fact, Mussolini was also a talker. Facing the powerful Lanfang army, even the British had to retreat, let alone the Italians. Mussolini also felt guilty when he was quarreling. Djibouti is next to Eritrea. If Qin Zhiyuan is unhappy, Italy's rule in Eritrea will be in danger.

Lanfang's expansion has actually aroused the vigilance of European powers to a large extent. Unlike the colonization of the world by European powers, Lanfang's expansion has a very obvious characteristic, that is, it wants land but not people. As long as Lanfang occupies it, The land will basically become Lanfang's territory rather than a colony. It is not that the European powers are unaware of such benefits, but limited to the human resources of European countries, European countries cannot be so thorough.

In fact, Mussolini is not afraid of breaking off diplomatic relations with Lanfang. For Italy, Lanfang is not an indispensable country. Italy and Lanfang do not have much economic and political exchanges. Italians have little demand for Lanfang. , Lanfang doesn’t really need the Italians, just stop it.

Almost at the same time that Qin Zhiyuan announced his acceptance of Joshua Jody's invitation to visit the Republic of Sardinia, Mussolini announced the withdrawal of the ambassador from Lanfang and interrupted national exchanges with Lanfang.

Lu Zhengxiang didn't hesitate much about this. Lan Fang didn't even need to recall the ambassador. He only needed to announce the closure of Lan Fang's embassy in Italy.

Lanfang did not have a dedicated ambassador to Italy at all. The post of ambassador to Italy was concurrently held by the ambassador to Germany, Bert Elsey.

Look, the people in Lanfang are quite perfunctory towards the Italians.

Germany and Italy are separated by Switzerland and Austria. How inconvenient would it be to have the ambassador to Germany concurrently serve as the ambassador to Italy? How inconvenient would it be to travel back and forth between the two?

Qin Zhiyuan has no objection to this. Speaking of politicians at this time, what Qin Zhiyuan disliked the most before was the Emperor of Japan, but now it is Mussolini. Qin Zhiyuan even hates mustaches less than Mussolini. It’s big——

It seems that it shouldn't be "hate". Mussolini was not so resentful, so it should be "disdain".

Yes, just disdainful!
