In fact, the relationship between the Beiyang government and the Japanese at this time was quite good.
Many people in the Beiyang Department have studied in Japan, so they have always had a good sense of this country. Therefore, to a certain extent, there are many pro-Japanese factions in the Beiyang Department.
When it comes to studying abroad, you can see the trend in the choices of international students. Only those who admire a country will study abroad in that country. I have never heard of anyone going to study in Africa.
As for KMT, there are more pro-Japanese factions in their party. After all, their party leader had received funding from the Japanese when he fought against the Qing Dynasty, and he also had a good impression of Japan as a country.
The Japanese did really well when they wanted to deliberately win over the Republic of China government, so compared to Western countries, the Japanese's reputation in the Republic of China is still good so far.
Xu Duan and others, as leaders of the Beiyang government, are not unwary of the Japanese's attempts to win over them. They also know that the Japanese are ambitious, but as the same saying goes, when a weak country has no diplomacy and is inferior to others in strength, it is too much to say
tears.
That night, Qin Zhiyuan received a telegram from the Beiyang government, asking Qin Zhiyuan to hand over the arrested Japanese to Akashi Genjiro. At that time, Akashi Genjiro's chief of staff was staying in front of Qin Zhiyuan's combat command department, waiting to handle them.
Take it back.
What does this mean? Is it forced to have an uterus?
Qin Zhiyuan was furious. While asking Pierre to deal with Akashi Genjiro's chief of staff, he ordered Mao Shiba to immediately shoot all the 17 Japanese who committed the crime.
There is a wrongdoer and a debtor. It is said that these two ill-intentioned soldiers are not worthy of death. The mistakes they made are not even as big as those of the Japanese who fought against the guards. But since they want to break up, they might as well just keep doing the same thing.
Simply block all the escape routes and get it done.
So when the proud chief of staff went to Romini Hospital to pick up the patient, he saw corpses all over the ground, as well as a crowd of war reporters watching.
Seeing the Japanese military officers approaching, the war reporters swarmed over.
Sir, please explain the reason why this happened. This question is quite satisfactory.
Sir, do you think the root cause of this matter is the bad nature of the Yamato nation? This question has a certain direction. Everyone knows the reporter who asked the question, Philip from the News.
Sir, less than a week after arriving in France, such an evil incident happened. What do you think? This question comes from Lance, a reporter from Le Figaro.
Le Figaro and Clemenceau did not get along very well, but Clemenceau would not attack Le Figaro because of this. In this regard, the French are indeed relatively democratic, and they have free rules of the game.
Akashi Genjiro's face was ashen, he didn't answer any questions, he ordered someone to collect the body, got into the car and ran away.
Pierre didn't have to run away. Pierre was also surrounded by reporters. A group of unscrupulous reporters also threw these questions to Pierre.
First of all, it must be affirmed that as a soldier and a soldier with a sense of justice, Qin will never tolerate anyone who has made mistakes. Such an opportunity should not be missed. Pierre talked freely and praised Qin Zhiyuan,
By the way, I stepped on the Japanese.
Anyway, we've already broken up, so it doesn't matter if we say a few more words. Pierre has never been a kind person.
For Pierre, Qin Zhiyuan, who has become a French citizen, is one of his own, and the Japanese are outsiders. The two words "inside and outside" have different weights.
But this is not the case for everyone. After all, the Japanese have come all the way to help in the war. The Japanese ambassador to France also has good friends with congressmen in Bordeaux, so there are still some discordant voices.
Later, Qin Zhiyuan received a call from Liotai.
Qin, you are so impulsive. When Liotai opened his mouth, he did not mean to blame Qin Zhiyuan. He only complained deeply, just like Qin Zhiyuan's complaining tone: You do this and make my work very passive. Now Japan
The government has lodged a protest with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, demanding fair treatment and the transfer of these people from your defense zone. The British are not satisfied either. They say that we have destroyed the friendship between allies and ask us to give an explanation. You really
It's a big trick
There is really no small matter in diplomacy, especially during such a critical period. A small unpleasantness may lead to disastrous consequences. Lyautey had to cheer up and stay up late at night to continue working.
Louis, it’s not that I’m impulsive, but those people deserve what they deserve. If they don’t completely correct their thinking, they will create a bigger problem. Compared to the war in Reims, this is nothing. Also, don’t be okay.
Come to me to complain, I just did what I should do, look at what kind of people you gave me to troops like the 6th Division, I would rather not, if they want to transfer, then just transfer them.
Perandes, North Africa, Isonzo, wherever they go. Qin Zhiyuan never hesitates.
What is certain is that Qin Zhiyuan is definitely qualified to complain to Lyotai now. In Lyotai's position, his task is to coordinate logistics for front-line generals like Qin Zhiyuan, so that Qin Zhiyuan and the others have no worries and can concentrate on their work.
The Germans fought.
From another perspective, the occurrence of this kind of thing is not Qin Zhiyuan's problem. The problem lies with the Japanese. Qin Zhiyuan is very confident that the French will not do anything to him.
Of course not. French Commander-in-Chief Foch has not made a sound yet, which fully demonstrates Foch's attitude.
Well, even if those people deserve it, then who has the right to punish them is not you or me, but it should be handed over to the military court. If the military court sentences them to death, then they deserve it. If the military court feels that they
If they don't deserve to die, then they will also receive the punishment they deserve. What are you doing now? Lyautey insists on upholding procedural justice.
Westerners attach great importance to procedural justice. They analyze rights and responsibilities in detail, and generally do not overstep their bounds.
This way of dividing rights and responsibilities cannot be said to be good or bad, but it will lead to some ridiculous facts. For example, in many European countries, if you find a thief in your home, you have no right to catch the thief, but you have to tell the thief
Please don't move. I have already called the police. Stay where you are and wait for the police to come and arrest you.
The thief is really in trouble if he waits until he is killed.
To tell you the truth, I don’t believe those military courts. Those sons of bitches will not sentence them to death at all. At most, they will be sent back to their place of origin. I don’t want my nurse to feel grievances, otherwise she might vent her grievances on the wounded.
Qin Zhiyuan showed no mercy on his body.
What nonsense are you talking about? Watch your words. Lyotey became a little angry.
Of course Lyotey would be furious. Although Lyotey would not appear in court, in name Lyotey was the president of the military court. Qin Zhiyuan was tantamount to scolding Lyotey as well.
Sorry Louis, I wasn't targeting you, you know what I mean. Qin Zhiyuan immediately apologized, he had just forgotten the relationship between Lyotey and the military court.
Lyotei on the other end of the phone was silent.
Lyotey had nothing to say.
During this period of time, the military courts were secretly hearing the case of the French mutiny some time ago. Tens of thousands of people were found guilty, but only a few hundred were punished as they deserved. More people had to repent in prisons and colonies. From then on
In a sense, the military court was derelict in its work during this period.
The French government and the Ministry of War have issued a silence order. No one is allowed to mention the mutiny that occurred some time ago, and they are treated as if they had not happened.
But for active duty soldiers, how is this possible?
In short, do what you should do now and don't make my work more passive. If possible, I really want you to be in my position and feel this kind of suffering. Liotei can only do it without pain or itching.
Just say a few words and there is nothing you can do to Qin Zhiyuan.
The victor will never be blamed. If Qin Zhiyuan can drive the French out of French territory, let alone Lyautey, all French people will be grateful to Qin Zhiyuan. Even if Qin Zhiyuan shoots all the Japanese, Qin Zhiyuan
Still a hero of France.
Just after finishing the call with Lyautey, Foch's call came in again.
Qin, you will get two new divisions tomorrow. At the same time, the War Council decided that from now on, you will be the commander of the Foreign Legion. Work hard and disappoint others who love you. Foch did not say a word of blame, but used actions.
Expressed support for Qin Zhiyuan.
Thank you, Ferdinand, thank you very much. Qin Zhiyuan comes from the bottom of my heart.
Even though Foch is Qin Zhiyuan's father-in-law, Qin Zhiyuan still calls Foch directly by his name during working hours. This has nothing to do with equality, but with the distinction between public and private matters.
In fact, the Foreign Legion has existed in name only so far. It seems that the entire Foreign Legion establishment is still there, but in fact, there is only an empty shell of the Foreign Legion headquarters in Algeria. Basically, except for the Chinese and Annanese, all the troops in Europe are involved.
After the mutiny some time ago, if it were not for Qin Zhiyuan, France might have disbanded the Foreign Legion.
Since the remaining troops of the Foreign Legion were actually in Qin Zhiyuan's hands, the War Council simply appointed Qin Zhiyuan as the commander of the Foreign Legion. Foch must have done a lot of work in this.
You don't need to thank me, you deserve it, but I'm afraid you have to work harder because the Foreign Legion headquarters is now in a mess. You will probably have to go to Algeria in a while, and the reconstruction work will be long. Foch is a little sorry.
Qin Zhiyuan and Julie's marriage was scheduled during the Christmas period. If Qin Zhiyuan went to Algeria during the winter break, then he and Julie would definitely be together more and less apart, and Foch would inevitably be complained by Julie.
However, compared to the Foreign Legion, Julie's complaints are simply not worth mentioning. When the time comes, Qin Zhiyuan can take Julie to Algeria and experience the taste of a local emperor.
At this time, the French were really as good as the Turkish emperors to the colonies.
Qin Zhiyuan's execution of several Japanese in France may cause chain reactions in all aspects. But if Qin Zhiyuan had shot some colonial locals in Algeria, even if he shot a thousand people, no one would say that Qin Zhiyuan was half innocent.
Character.
Don’t think that the freedom and equality that the French talk about is for everyone. To the French, colonial natives are not human beings at all.
