Expedition to Europe

The importance of language always rises with the rise of national strength.

At present, Chinese has already touched the threshold of international language. At least in the whole East Asia, Chinese has been listed as a language that must be learned. Even languages ​​with a relatively large population, such as Goryeo, are facing the situation of being cut off from inheritance.

Goryeo is now part of Lan Fang. If Goryeo people want to go to school, work as officials, or even live a normal life in Lan Fang, Chinese is a language that they must learn. The same is true for those Europeans living in Lan Fang. Even if they are professional and technical personnel, they must first pass the language barrier when they come to Lan Fang. If they cannot use Chinese proficiently, they will not be qualified to get a job in Lan Fang.

So even though William II and Hindenburg are already old men, they still have to learn Chinese, otherwise they will have troubles in their future lives.

Germany and France are indeed close. At dawn, Qin Zhiyuan's special train has arrived in Paris.

Qin Zhiyuan sent someone to send the exhausted William II and Hindenburg back to the Black Swan Castle, and he changed cars and went straight to the Big Weaver Restaurant. It was still the familiar hall and the familiar secret room, but the people were no longer the same.

Old Renault was still there. In addition to Pierre, Raymond Poincaré and Alexander Millerand were also present.

Seeing Qin Zhiyuan enter the door, Poincaré said with a smile: "I heard that you are living well in the Palace of Souci. It seems that you have not encountered any trouble."

Just like Paris has no secrets for Germany, Poincaré and his gang are also very clear about what happened in Berlin. Poincaré must have known about the siege of the Palace of Souci, so he teased Qin Zhiyuan.

"It's better than you think. The Germans are still very enthusiastic about me. If you go, I guarantee that the Germans will give you rotten eggs." Qin Zhiyuan hit back casually, thanked Pierre who sent brandy, and then lay comfortably on the sofa.

After sitting on the train all night, Qin Zhiyuan still felt a little tired even though he was in good physical condition.

Compared to Qin Zhiyuan, Poincaré, who was once the president of France, would never be welcomed in Germany. Of course, the Germans who are currently in trouble don't have so many eggs to leave rotten.

"I heard that you kidnapped William II and Hindenburg. Do you want to hand them over to Congress for trial?" Millerland has a lot of ideas. If this can be achieved, Millerland will definitely get more political points.

The French have long been deliberately trying to send William II to the trial, but they ran into a stubborn Dutch queen. The French will definitely not start another war for William II, so this matter has been delayed.

Now that Qin Zhiyuan has brought William II to France, Millerland is really thinking about it.

"Don't even think about it. Since William II has been brought out, I will be responsible for William II's safety, both physically and mentally." Qin Zhiyuan will definitely not do that, otherwise the relationship between William III and Qin Zhiyuan will immediately turn from pink to black.

William III really didn't want William II to stay in Germany and get in the way, but that didn't mean that William III could watch William II being humiliated. After all, William II was William III's father, and William III still had to consider the face of the German royal family.

"Then you might as well not bring him here. Isn't this deliberately making things difficult for us?" Millerand didn't force it, but there were still some complaints.

"You're the only one who thinks so. Just pretend you don't know." Qin Zhiyuan said lightly.

"What do you mean he's the only one who thinks so? I think so too." Poincaré interrupted, with more of a joking element.

For politicians like Poincaré and Millerand, William II is a treasure. If Poincaré can send William II to the trial, he will definitely get more political points, and maybe he can make another attack on the presidential throne.

Old Renault and Pierre didn't say anything, and their expressions were a little playful. Whether William II went to the trial or not, it didn't matter to them much.

Old Renault has now faded out of the circle of power in Paris. If it weren't for Qin Zhiyuan's visit to Europe this time, Old Renault would not have come back at all. Pierre doesn't need it. Even if Pierre can send William II to the trial, Pierre can't run for president. Pierre's qualifications are still a little shallow.

"Let's be realistic. You are waiting for me here, not just to get rid of William II, right? Then you will get nothing." Qin Zhiyuan didn't say it, and he was very determined to protect William II.

"Of course not, we are preparing for the next election." Milleran still knows what is more important. Being able to send William II to the trial can certainly win great prestige, but it is much inferior to the upcoming presidential election.

The trial of William II is not a matter of a moment. Even if Qin Zhiyuan handed over William II, the French government wanted to organize a trial of William II, but it would take a year and a half to prepare. By the time the trial started, the presidential election would have been settled, and even if there was a huge reputation, it would be useless.

"Do you need my help? If you do, please don't hesitate." Qin Zhiyuan was generous. He gave people when he asked for help and money when he asked for money.

Milleran and Poincaré both had a good political foundation, but if they wanted to run for election successfully, they needed more investment, and it was often these tricks that really had an impact on the presidency.

Millerand and Poincaré will definitely have opponents. In France, there are probably more than one or two people who covet the presidency. Those candidates also have their own resources, and they are not much different in terms of basics, so Millerand and Poincaré need more help to ensure that they can get what they want.

"Of course, can you ask your Daily News to help me do an interview or something? I need more exposure." Millerand was not polite and immediately started to make requests.

As a politician, it is not shameful to ask others for resources. It is shameful to get enough support but not get what you want, which means that they cannot give back the support of the financial backers behind them, and they may be abandoned by their interest groups.

Politics is also very cruel.

"No problem, I will arrange for Lance to find you tomorrow and arrange an interview for you, the best position, the most positive image, whatever you want, as long as the Daily News can do it." Qin Zhiyuan agreed immediately without any obstacles.

The Daily News has now developed into a media group with global influence, with branches in many countries around the world. In countries like France, which have good relations with Lanfang, the Daily News has even begun to try to organize its own radio station and is preparing to develop into a real media group.

The birth of radio has greatly promoted the development of related industries, and radio is the most important part of it.

This "radio" does not refer to special agent supplies such as radio transmitters, but the radio station related to "radio".

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

Since the emergence of wireless telegraph, broadcasting has become possible. Now the research institute in Corsica is studying machines related to radio. Once a practical product that can be produced on a large scale appears, the French branch of the Daily News will immediately organize a radio station to start broadcasting. This is probably the first broadcasting company in the world.

Having experienced the information explosion in the 21st century, Qin Zhiyuan is very sensitive to the right to speak in public opinion. In France, Britain, and even the United States, Qin Zhiyuan instructed the branches of the Daily News in various countries to try to infiltrate local media, such as France's Le Figaro, Britain's The Times, and the United States' New York Times, etc. Even if they cannot acquire them completely, they must at least become one of the shareholders, so that they can truly control the right to speak.

"That's great. I'll invite Lance to dinner tonight and communicate about the content of the interview first." Millerland was eager to try, and seemed to want to call now.

Lance is the current editor-in-chief of the Daily News, not the French branch, but the editor-in-chief of the Lanfang headquarters. Qin Zhiyuan's visit to Europe will definitely have a lot of news, so Lance also followed Qin Zhiyuan to get first-hand information so that he can follow up on Qin Zhiyuan.

Millerland is also a veteran in the political arena and is no stranger to things like exclusive interviews. There is no live broadcast or radio broadcast now, so the so-called "advance communication" does not make much sense. However, Millerand also knows the importance of building good relations with the propaganda media. Whether it is useful or not, it is always good to build good relations with people like Lance.

"Raymond, what role are you going to play in this matter?" Qin Zhiyuan is still curious about Poincaré's position.

This is the good point of democratic politics. Even if you are the president on the stage, you are just an ordinary person after you step down. The so-called ability to go up and down refers to people like Poincaré.

The World War has just passed. As the president during the World War, Poincaré has changed several prime ministers during his tenure, but his position is as stable as Mount Tai. It cannot be said that Poincaré is still very capable. It is for this reason that Qin Zhiyuan is more curious about Poincaré's position.

"I have nothing to do with the election. I am ready to take office and form a cabinet." Poincaré is still open-minded. He eats and drinks as he should. His figure has gained a lot of weight compared to the World War period.

It seems that if Millerand is elected as the president of France, Millerand will appoint Poincaré as prime minister to take office and form a cabinet.

This is definitely a good thing for Qin Zhiyuan. With a familiar French president and a familiar French prime minister, it is not easy for Lan Fang to have a bad relationship with France.

"What about you, Pierre?" Qin Zhiyuan continued to be curious.

"Well - whether it is president or prime minister, it has nothing to do with me. I may return to the army and go to the military to be in charge of a basic department or something." Pierre is not in a hurry now, his hope is in the future.

Returning to the military is also a good idea. No matter how high Pierre wants to go in the future, Pierre cannot do without the support of the army.
