How was the conversation with Louis? On the way back, Foch asked Qin Zhiyuan.
Qin Zhiyuan's car was at the Black Swan Castle. When Qin Zhiyuan went to the Big Weaver Restaurant, Pierre went back and drove the car over. The person sitting in the driver's seat now was Pierre.
Not bad, we exchanged some opinions. Qin Zhiyuan didn't want to go into too much detail.
If Qin Zhiyuan revealed that he wanted to influence the choice of Prime Minister of the Third French Republic, I wonder if Foch would jump up and beat Qin Zhiyuan violently.
Because of Julie, Foch values Qin Zhiyuan, but this does not mean that Foch will give up his principles for Qin Zhiyuan. As a member of the French Army, Foch will put France's national interests first, just like Qin Zhiyuan
We will put the national interests of the Republic of China first.
Under this premise, Qin Zhiyuan would be reserved when chatting with Foch, which was far less open than when he was with old Renault.
The Knights Templar can make or break a person, as was the case with Napoleon back then. Foch warned Qin Zhiyuan selectively.
Napoleon was born in Corsica. His father once participated in the Corsican resistance and later surrendered to the French government. Napoleon was very dissatisfied with this. Once Napoleon, his ideal was to make Corsica independent, but then
As Napoleon's status became higher and higher and his abilities became stronger, Napoleon gradually began to pursue higher goals, and finally attracted opposition from all of Europe, including the Knights Templar who had supported him.
No matter what, don't let religious forces get more involved in your troops. In fact, depending on your current strength, you may not be able to do something. There is no need to introduce too many external forces. Family love still occupies a considerable place in Foch's heart.
Otherwise, Foch would not replace you, Qin Zhiyuan.
I understand this, otherwise the Pope would not come to me. The Pope wants to use my influence in the East to truly promote Christianity to the East. I also want to use the name of religion to expand the territory of the motherland. Qin Zhiyuan confided in his heart
.
Between countries, there is never any affectionate warmth, only cold copper.
So have you ever thought about how you will deal with Foch's question when one day the requirements of the Holy See conflict with your strategic goals.
This is very likely to happen. Even Qin Zhiyuan and the Holy See have different interests and demands. There is also a possibility of conflict between them. Qin Zhiyuan wants to expand the living space of the Chinese nation and build a prosperous and powerful country.
The Holy See does not care about the situation of the country. What they want is to spread Christianity and develop more believers in the Far East to make Christianity more influential.
For now, there is no conflict between Qin Zhiyuan's goals and those of Christianity, but in the future, there will inevitably be differences between Qin Zhiyuan and Christianity. How will Qin Zhiyuan reconcile these differences? This is what Foch is most concerned about.
things.
I will try my best to avoid that situation. At least in a short period of time, our goals are the same. We will talk about the future in the future. Now, we win this war first. Only by winning this war can we have a future. Qin
Zhiyuan pays attention to practicality.
Okay, go as you go. But, are you sure you want to return to the Far East? Foch frowned.
Foch's thinking was still very fast-paced. He had just finished talking about the Holy See. In the blink of an eye, he was talking about whether Qin Zhiyuan should return to the Far East. This was for Julie.
I'm afraid there's something that Pierre hasn't told you yet. You can ask him. Qin Zhiyuan is causing trouble.
The effect was obvious, because as soon as Qin Zhiyuan finished speaking, he felt the car start to shake a little, which was obviously because Pierre started to get flustered.
What good thing have you done? You are not angry when facing Pierre Foch.
Uh, Dad, I joined the Knights Templar. Pierre held his ground.
Yes, then Foch asked.
Foch did not interfere with Pierre's beliefs. He was even a little happy to see Pierre join the Knights Templar.
Then, then, oh, why are the street lights not working now? Pierre started talking nonsense.
Joining the Knights Templar is Pierre's dream, but becoming Qin Zhiyuan's knight is definitely Foch's nightmare.
In this war, Foch has lost a son and a son-in-law. The other daughter may follow Qin Zhiyuan to fly high in the future. Pierre becomes Qin Zhiyuan's knight, and may also follow Qin Zhiyuan back to the Far East. This pair of Foch's
Xu is too cruel.
What good thing have you done again? Foch felt bad and his voice began to lower.
It's okay, Pierre will not return to the Far East with me. Even if I go back, I will set up a contact point here, and Pierre will be the person in charge. Qin Zhiyuan will help.
That's great, Dad, I am Qin's knight now. Pierre let out a cheer and explained everything happily.
The knight Foch was helpless, but it had become a fait accompli, and Foch, as a devout believer, had nothing to say.
Speaking of which, Qin Zhiyuan was worried whether Nivele would transfer me back if he launched a spring offensive.
When Niweiler came to power, Qin Zhiyuan's biggest worry was that Niweiler would order Qin Zhiyuan's troops to undertake the task of attacking fortresses. In that case, the First Brigade would inevitably suffer a large number of casualties. The key is that with this kind of normal military order, Qin Zhiyuan
Zhiyuan is really hard to refuse.
Even if the relationship between Qin Zhiyuan and Niweiler is not good, as long as Qin Zhiyuan is still a member of the Foreign Legion, Qin Zhiyuan must obey Niweiler's orders. This is irrefutable.
Probably not, because you have a scapegoat. Another Qin has also set up a force and is currently being trained near Paris. They may be sent to the battlefield, and your troops only need to show that they are trapped in Corsica.
If you can't extricate yourself from the quagmire, you don't have to come back to join this dinner party. Foch has a clear understanding of the situation.
The other Qin refers to Qin Yunpeng. Qin Yunpeng followed the instructions of the Beiyang government and obeyed Nivele's orders, but in this way, Qin Yunpeng's troops would become cannon fodder.
This is something Qin Zhiyuan can't stop. Now Qin Zhiyuan is good at being able to take care of himself, but he is really powerless if he wants to do more.
Qin Zhiyuan asked one question as to how likely it was that the Spring Offensive would win out of concern for his compatriots.
Foch's words in Chengdu were astonishing and decisive: Nivelle was unable to control the troops at all. He felt too good about himself. Moreover, since Nivelle became the commander-in-chief of the French army, his relationship with the British had also deteriorated.
The emergence of disagreements was affected, about which Nivelle seemed to be ignorant. Just wait and see, he will get a bloody head.
The differences between Nivelle and the British began with the selection of war targets.
Because of the last failure, Foch now paid more attention to the relationship with the British, while Nivelle apparently ignored this.
