Qin Zhiyuan has few impressions of Western generals of this era.

Perhaps Foch is one, Joffre is one, and finally, Churchill is one.

If Churchill is considered a general.

Qin Zhiyuan has no impression of Nivelle.

This shows that Nivelle is not the best of this era, and perhaps not even an average one.

Therefore, Qin Zhiyuan can infer that Nivelle has not achieved much. At the very least, Nivelle's achievements are far inferior to Foch, and even inferior to Pétain.

Then during the period when Nivelle was in power, Qin Zhiyuan had better stay away.

In the evening, Old Renault came to visit Qin Zhiyuan at the Black Swan Castle.

"Qin, I just realized how good you are now. Compared with you, that Marcus is too difficult to get along with." Old Renault was not without fatigue.

Old Renault smelled of alcohol, and it seemed that he had just entertained Marcus. Old Renault would naturally not invite Qin Zhiyuan to such a cocktail party, and Qin Zhiyuan would not make himself uncomfortable.

"The military department is here to represent the new commander-in-chief of the French army, you know." Qin Zhiyuan was not surprised.

"So what, maybe you know that almost no one likes Nivelle, except that son of a bitch Lloyd George." Old Renault spoke without restraint.

Lloyd George was caught in the crossfire again.

"Anyway, Nivelle is now the commander-in-chief of the French army, you have to cooperate with his work." Qin Zhiyuan didn't want to see Old Renault being caught by someone.

"Of course I won't! I will cooperate with the work of the Ministry of War, and at the same time wait to see how Nivelle messes up. I tell you, I'm not the only one who has this idea. In Paris and Bordeaux, many people are waiting to see Nivelle's joke." Old Renault didn't treat Qin Zhiyuan as an outsider.

"A journey of a thousand miles tests a horse's strength, and a long time reveals a person's heart." Although the translation was a bit inadequate, Qin Zhiyuan still liked to use proverbs.

"Yes, that's what I mean." Old Renault took a sip of tea and frowned as he asked, "Can't you make me a cup of coffee? Life is already bitter enough, why not some sugar?"

"Okay, okay, as you wish." Qin Zhiyuan gestured to Gao Hongshi to make a cup of coffee and put more sugar.

"Master Qin, there's not much sugar left." Gao Hongshi was worried.

"Hahaha, Qin, look, this is your compatriot. They have tripled the price of sugar now, and even you can't afford it." Old Renault looked awful.

Damn it, Qin Zhiyuan shook his head speechlessly.

"Qin, I want to separate a new production workshop, which will be entirely managed by your workers. The tanks produced can equip your troops. What do you think?" Old Renault made a very tempting suggestion.

"Tell me, what do I have to pay?" Qin Zhiyuan was not overwhelmed by the news. There is no such thing as a free lunch. Qin Zhiyuan understood this truth.

"Introduce me to General Foch." Old Renault's ulterior motive was exposed.

"You really found the right person. I was just kicked out of Anne's house last night. If I introduce you, I'm afraid we will both be kicked out together." Qin Zhiyuan smiled bitterly.

With the power of old Renault, he didn't need to go through Qin Zhiyuan to know Foch. Now that he has found Qin Zhiyuan, old Renault must have other plans. Qin Zhiyuan must consider the pros and cons clearly.

"Don't rush to refuse. I know you have a way. This is a win-win choice. Consider it." Old Renault continued to tempt.

Old Renault is not alone. There is also a benefit group behind him. This must be a huge force.

"I'm not refusing, Louis. You know, I never spare any effort to treat my friends." Qin Zhiyuan said from the heart.

"I know you are a good guy, so I found you. You just need to mediate and then you can get benefits that you can't imagine. Think about the Far Eastern cultural relics in the Louvre. Don't you want to get them?" Old Renault added.

"Louvre? Isn't that non-transferable?" Qin Zhiyuan was puzzled.

Many of the cultural relics in the Louvre have been registered by the French government and have become national treasures that cannot be transferred. Therefore, Qin Zhiyuan has never set his sights on the Louvre.

"Who stipulated that those bottles and jars cannot be transferred? It was the politicians. Therefore, politicians can also overturn the decisions of their predecessors and turn those things into transferable commodities." Old Renault was mysterious.

The filthiness of politics is really beyond the understanding of a small agent. For the sake of profit, those politicians can clearly mark the price of everything.

"So, it seems that I have no reason to refuse." Qin Zhiyuan was moved.

"Of course, you have no reason to refuse. This is good for you, me, and everyone." Old Renault was calm.

"Okay, wait for my news." Qin Zhiyuan had no reason to refuse.

Night, living room.

"How do I use this thing?" Qin Zhiyuan looked at the phonograph in front of him and was at a loss.

In order to express his love for Julie, Qin Zhiyuan asked Pierre to get a phonograph and a guitar, and prepared to record a record for Julie.

In his previous life, Qin Zhiyuan was a music lover who was into all kinds of music. He was naturally familiar with the Beatles' song "Hey Jude".

He was now going to find the song and give it to Julie.

"Hurry up, we are recording now, we only have ten minutes, you should save it." Pierre said with bad intentions.

Vinyl records in the early 20th century could only be recorded for about five minutes on each side. Pierre didn't prepare much. There was only one record, and both sides could be recorded for exactly ten minutes.

"Pierre, I despise you." Qin Zhiyuan cursed angrily, picked up the guitar and started playing.

To be honest, Pierre didn't expect Qin Zhiyuan to sing any world-famous songs. As long as he could reach the level of "Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle", Pierre felt worthy of his busy work.

When the melodious melody sounded, Pierre was shocked.

Music has no borders. No matter what style of music it is, as long as you have the ability to appreciate it, you can tell whether it is good or bad, let alone a work of the level of "heyjude".

This song was written by Paul McCartney to a five-year-old child. It encourages the child to face reality bravely, overcome fear, and dare to take responsibility. It is full of parents’ expectations for the next generation and full of endless humanistic care.

Hey Judy! don't be depressed

Find a sad song and sing it happier

Remember to sing it into your heart

The world will start to get better

…

Qin Zhiyuan's voice is not perfect, not high-pitched enough, not round enough, and a little hoarse in the sonorous voice, but it is just right to show the hopes and expectations of a weather-beaten father for his children.

When Qin Zhiyuan spoke, Pierre felt like a tired father who had finished a day's work and returned home to stay by the fireplace and tell stories to his children.

This feeling made Pierre's eyes wet unconsciously.

…

Hey Judy! Don't be discouraged

Find a sad song and sing it happier

Remember to keep it deep in your heart

The world can

Starting to get better

nananananananana

When Qin Zhiyuan sang to the end, the living room was already crowded with people, Qin Zhisheng, Chen Kangjian, Gao Hongshi, Gary Buell, Huang Fugui...

Everyone conforms unconsciously.

And Misha next to the handrail on the second floor.

Everyone was deeply attracted and listened to Qin Zhiyuan's performance with bated breath.

"Uh...Qin, I'm afraid you have to sing it again. I forgot to change sides and only recorded half of it." Pierre was a little embarrassed but also looking forward to it.

"Do it again!"

"Yes, yes, come twice more."

"Singing really well!"

Everyone shouted.

Misha stood by the handrail on the second floor, tears streaming down her face unknowingly.

Hey Judy

don't let me down

Now that you have found true love, you must pursue it bravely

remember

To take her into your heart

Then the world can start to get better

So

Let your love come and go freely
