Since the French overthrew the Bourbons, France has become a model of democracy around the world.
There was a time when democratic and free France was a holy place in the hearts of people who yearned for freedom all over the world, and the French National Assembly system became the pride of the French people, just like Notre Dame Cathedral and the Eiffel Tower.
At the beginning of its establishment, the National Assembly system was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and its efficiency was relatively high at that time. As a result, France's social economy entered a period of rapid development.
But like all two-party or multi-party systems, the National Assembly quickly degenerated into a vegetable market where each other argued for the sake of arguing.
In fact, for soldiers, this flat structure social system is far less efficient than the pyramid structure social system. Especially during wars or when large-scale disasters require quick decisions, the disadvantages of the flat structure social system become more and more serious.
The more obvious it is.
Now, when it is clear that the Germans are still occupying the French land, and it is time to unite as one to deal with the outside world, these MPs are still trying to plot against each other, which really makes Lyautey impatient.
Louis, although I shouldn't interfere in the internal affairs of the military, I still want to ask, why would you rather believe those Chinese than those Americans? In your eyes, are the Chinese more important than the Americans?
Paul Penlevi must say something. His original intention was not to remove Lyautey from power. The French army has enough things going on now, and now is not the time to create extraneous matters.
Mr. Chairman, there is no such thing as who is more important than whom, there is only one who is more willing to bleed and sacrifice for France. The Americans do deserve attention, but according to General Pershing, the Americans have to wait until next year to count on it, so in
What should we do before this? Should we tell the Germans that the world war should be stopped for a year, and that the American troops should be mobilized to 3 million, all armed and trained, and then start the war again? Lyautey is determined and will not let others do it.
Change your mind in a few words.
So are those Chinese reliable? Donahue asked again.
In just one month, the Americans in France have gathered more than 100,000 people. The Americans have demonstrated their unparalleled delivery capabilities. Pershing promised that in the next year, tens of thousands of American soldiers will arrive every month.
France.
Compared with the Americans who have strong shipping capabilities, Qin Zhiyuan's manpower delivery speed is much slower. Now that Yimin Company and Huang Bohan's people are working together, less than 20,000 people can transport to Kosi every month.
Chia, this is already the limit and it is impossible to improve it further.
But it is this difference in power that makes the achievements of the Foreign Legion seem even more precious.
Regarding this issue, I have a telegram here, which was just sent to me by General Qin Zhiyuan. In the sniper battle of Ferenta de Noir that ended this morning, the 1st Division of the Foreign Legion and the 32nd Division of the French Army fought hand in hand.
In fierce battles with six divisions of the German Crown Prince Wilhelm Corps and a section of the German 17th Army in Fernand Tadenoy and Tadenoy, in a total of four days of fighting, the 1st Division and the 32nd Division killed
More than 13,600 German soldiers captured more than 98,900 German soldiers. Among the captured German generals, including General Fritz Rosenberg, Chief of Staff of Crown Prince Wilhelm Corps, and Lyautey took the telegram and used
With a confident smile, he looked around the entire audience, prolonged his voice, and whetted everyone's appetite. Only then did he solve the mystery: and Prince William himself.
Prince William
Prince William was captured by the French army
The congressmen present, both from the Socialist Party and the Democratic-Republican Party, were stunned. It took a full 30 seconds before they burst into loud cheers.
Accompanying the cheers were stacks of printed materials flying into the sky. These were originally used to impeach Qin Zhiyuan and Liotai, but no one cares about them now. As long as Liotai and Qin Zhiyuan can win
Germans, then it doesn’t matter even if Lyautey equips Qin Zhiyuan with all the weapons in the Renault factory, to hell with those impeachments
As for Pershing, who was still in Orleans, everyone had forgotten about him now.
You know, the French have always looked down upon the nouveau riche Americans. When Americans are needed, the French can treat them as guests, but when they are not needed, the United States at this time will not care about France at this time.
It is not indispensable to say.
At least that's what the French think.
The World War has not yet ended, and the French do not yet know how much they owe the Americans. Their understanding of the United States still remains before the World War.
As Lyautey announced the news, all doubts about Lyautey and Qin Zhiyuan disappeared. The news of the victory spread like a virus, spreading to every corner of France and even the world through countless phone lines and air waves. Newspaper offices
A special issue was temporarily printed, and the tricolor flag of France and the five-color flag of the Beiyang government were hung at the entrance of the restaurant. Countless people flocked to the temporary residence set up by the Beiyang government in Paris, and the place was packed. They thanked all the people with black hair and black eyes.
Oriental.
The French government decided on that day to upgrade its diplomatic relations with the Beiyang government from ministerial level to ambassadorial level. The embassy was also moved from the second floor of a narrow and remote cinema to the Champ de Mars, where the Paris city government set aside an area.
50 acres of land were used to build the Beiyang Government's embassy in Paris.
In the newspaper of that day, when describing Qin Zhiyuan's skin color, the Latin word scus was used. The meaning of this word is not sure. It can usually be understood as dark or brown, and it is used here to mean darker skin color.
.According to the large photo of Qin Zhiyuan distributed by the newspaper, it is true that there is no pornographic meaning in it.
Regarding this yellow skin, there is a process of its evolution. In fact, in the early writings and literature of Western travelers, descriptions of Chinese skin color are usually fair or darker. No one directly uses yellow to describe the skin of Asians. However,
In the 18th century, some so-called scientists who knew little about natural science began to classify races. The color of Asians was changed from scus to luridus, which can be translated as yellow, sallow, pale, deathly color, etc.
This classification is artificial and has no scientific basis.
In China, it is readily accepted to describe Chinese as having yellow skin, because yellow symbolizes imperial power and nobility in China. This is a cognitive difference caused by the different cultural heritages of Europeans and Chinese.
For Qin Zhiyuan, what happened in Paris is too far away for him and Qin Zhiyuan will not be able to take care of it for a while. Now Qin Zhiyuan's task is to appease nearly 100,000 German prisoners and prepare for possible retaliatory attacks by the Germans
.
Fortunately, Foch's work was very effective. As Foch patrolled the front line, the French troops gradually began to stabilize and some troops began to regain their combat effectiveness.
After the news of Qin Zhiyuan's victory spread, it was like a shot in the arm being injected into the hearts of all French people. The confidence of the French people began to recover, and the soldiers slowly calmed down from their impetuousness.
In mid-May, eleven French divisions stationed near Fernand-A-denoy began to assemble towards the Fern-Tard-denoy area in preparation for a possible German attack.
Qin Zhiyuan's 1st Division and Bastian's 32nd Division were ordered to be transferred back to Paris. They had to participate in huge celebrations to commemorate this historic moment.
