Expedition to Europe

(Thanks to the monthly ticket encouragement from Yangbatian, Yutou will continue to work hard in the last week of May!)

There is an old saying in China: If you don't have hair on your mouth, you can't do things well.

There is also an old saying in the West: A carpenter who doesn't want to be a general is not a good cook.

Well, Qin Zhiyuan doesn't understand any Western proverbs. He just thinks that a 30-year-old emperor, whether there is any restraint or not, will always make some mistakes to grow up.

This is the case with Karl I. He is less than 30 years old, and it is inevitable that he will be ill-considered and whimsical when doing things.

For a person under 30 years old, this is understandable. But for the emperor of an empire, such haste is inevitably too frivolous.

When Qin Zhiyuan mentioned the structure of the peace negotiation team sent by the Austro-Hungarian Empire to Paris, everyone in the room was enlightened.

"We have to tell the Germans this news." Lyautey jumped up first.

Lyautey was the most direct. He had been the governor for too long, and he was used to being straightforward and using absolute strength to flatten the enemy.

"No, no, no, we can't be so direct. Maybe we can let the Germans know the news through some secret channels." Foch is also very sinister.

"Publish it in the newspaper, publish this news in the newspaper, and naturally someone will tip off the Germans!" Clemenceau is the most insidious.

Clemenceau is now a newspaper owner. He has a newspaper called "The Prisoner". The name of this newspaper was originally called "The Freeman", which was founded in 1913, but was forced to stop publication in 1914. Clemenceau is not an ordinary person after all. After a few days, he changed his face and started selling again. No one can do anything about it.

This is a standard political gangster.

"Before that, we still have to eliminate all opposition voices and let the public focus on the tough attitude towards Germany." Lyautey has a strong desire for control.

Freedom of speech?

Haha!

"Maybe we can do this, let those newspapers publish some news that is unfavorable to Qin, and then Qin can take advantage of the issue, so that the problem may be completely solved." Old Renault offered.

This is not a good person either, and he is the most vicious. If he doesn't take action, it's fine. But if he does, it's fatal.

"Aha! Of course we should do that. Just imagine, if the newspaper of "Le Figaro" is printed and is about to be distributed, the truck carrying the newspaper arrives at the door of the newspaper office, and the newsboys gather around to distribute it, Qin's people will take away all the contraband! Hahahaha... I can't wait to see Caio's expression." Clemenceau laughed, showing his ambition to have everything under control.

"Then it's settled. Now, Qin, how many people do you have in Paris?" Old Renault positioned Qin Zhiyuan as the executor.

Executor, this is a very good position, an indispensable position. No matter how perfect the plan is, someone has to execute it.

Among the five people present, Old Renault is a civilian, he has no military foundation; Foch has now retreated to the second line, he cannot mobilize soldiers; Lyaute's people are far away in Morocco, and he can't help even if he wants to; as for Clemenceau, let him give some advice.

Qin Zhiyuan was the only candidate, which was why he was called back overnight.

"I have two companies in Paris, less than 300 people, and they are not the best candidates for this kind of mission. If my people must carry it out, I would like to ask you to wait for two days. I will transfer some people back from Corsica." Qin Zhiyuan did not refuse. This was a good thing, which would help to increase Qin Zhiyuan's importance in this small group.

"Quickly finish your shitty work, can't you be more efficient?" Clemenceau was dissatisfied.

Clemenceau was actually a very arbitrary person. He had a strong character and never backed down. Once he set a goal, he would unswervingly complete it.

No matter what difficulties he encountered.

No matter what means he used.

In another time and space, when Clemenceau became the Prime Minister of France, he did show toughness to the Germans, and at the same time he was ruthless to the domestic opposition. Although Clemenceau retained the parliament, the parliament had to vote according to his wishes. Anyone who opposed Clemenceau was ruthlessly attacked by Clemenceau and was called a "defeatist" by Clemenceau. He arrested and imprisoned them, including former Minister of the Interior Malvet and former Prime Minister Caillaud.

Look at Clemenceau's attitude towards the Corsicans, and you will know what kind of person he is.

Qin Zhiyuan had already used a machine gun to shoot, but was still considered "unskilled" by Clemenceau.

"I will try my best, if possible, I will end everything on Corsica as soon as possible, and then bring the troops back to Paris as soon as possible." Qin Zhiyuan was ashamed.

What else can I say? When almost the next French Prime Minister does not care about the lives of French citizens, if Qin Zhiyuan, an outsider, says anything about "humanitarianism", it is not worthy of respect.

In fact, before Qin Zhiyuan came, he had already issued a combat order to Chen Kangjian.

That's right, it was a combat order.

Since all obedient Corsicans have moved to the French mainland, those who remain are all disobedient. Qin Zhiyuan has no mercy on these people.

Qin Zhiyuan's order is to eliminate all unstable elements in Corsica, that is, everyone except those living in Thunder City and Trident City are unstable elements in Corsica and must be eliminated.

This kind of order is not given often, because it is like a fishing net that catches everyone, no matter how big or small. Once this order is issued, it means that from now on, if the soldiers of the First Brigade are outside the scope of Thunder City and Trident City, they must capture all the people they see. Even if they cannot capture them, they must all be killed.

"Okay, bring your people back quickly. I heard that your troops are very powerful. I want to see if they are as good as the rumors." Clemenceau looked forward to it.

Clemenceau is qualified to say this because he served as Prime Minister of France for a term ten years ago. It is for this reason that Lyotaire and Foch maintained respect for Clemenceau.

"I'm curious. Since Raymond insists on being tough on Germany, why can't we set up a tough government?" Qin Zhiyuan was curious.

No wonder Qin Zhiyuan is curious. Compared with the Chinese government, the French political arena is like a revolving door. The king's flag changes on the city wall. You sing and I appear.

From the beginning of the World War in 1914 to the present, France has experienced four prime ministers, namely Justin Doumergue, who has been in office for six months, Alexandre Liebot, who has been in office for four days, Viviani, who has been in office for 1, and the current Prime Minister Aristide Briand.

I almost forgot to mention that Brian has been in office for almost 16 months.

If Briand can hold on as prime minister until the end of this month.

Obviously, it was not just Qin Zhiyuan who was considering this issue, because after Qin Zhiyuan raised this issue, Foch, Lyautey, and Old Reno all focused their attention on Clemenceau.

"Regarding this issue, Qin, you have to be patient. I can only say, Louis, please stick to the position of Minister of War for a while, and believe that there will always be a rainbow after the storm; Ferdinand, please wait and see for a while. file, once you come out again, you will become a colorful butterfly emerging from the cocoon, blooming with a brilliance that no one else can match; and you, Louis, I know you want to make Groupe Renault the largest company in the world, believe me, you have a chance ." Clemenceau handed out sweets one by one.

When Clemenceau said these seemingly boundless words, everyone was convinced, and even Qin Zhiyuan felt excited.

It sounds like Clemenceau could be prime minister of France tomorrow.
