At the strong request of the Japanese, the Sixth Division was finally transferred to Flanders and was no longer under Qin Zhiyuan's jurisdiction.
This is just right, out of sight and out of mind, just let the Sixth Division go and harm the British and Belgians.
Dogs can't change. Qin Zhiyuan doesn't believe that a group of beasts can become saints when they go to Belgium. They will still be beasts there.
The British would accept the Sixth Division because they had a secret treaty with the Japanese and the British had no choice but to do so.
Qin Zhiyuan wanted to see whether the British would be so generous if the miners of the Sixth Division violated a British nurse.
Judging from the nature of the Japanese, this kind of thing is indeed very likely to happen.
Qin Zhiyuan, who had sent away the Japanese, could not live in peace. Another night, the new ambassador to France, Lu Zhengxiang, came to visit Qin Zhiyuan.
The establishment of diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level between France and the Beiyang government led to a sharp rise in France's status within the Beiyang government. To this end, the Beiyang government made personnel adjustments. Lu Zhengxiang resigned as Minister of Foreign Affairs and became the Beiyang government's ambassador to France. Hu Weide was transferred back to China for another appointment. .
The first thing Lu Zhengxiang did when he arrived in Paris was to visit Qin Zhiyuan.
Unlike Hu Weide, who may not say so in name, but in his heart he is very critical of Qin Zhiyuan's naturalization as a French citizen, Lu Zhengxiang has a strong sense of belonging to France, or in other words, a sense of belonging to Europe.
Lu Zhengxiang’s wife is Belgian, and the relationship between Belgium and France is like the relationship between the Republic of China and North Korea. When Belgium is invaded by Germany, the French will take action, but if there is no common enemy, the French despise the Belgians very much. .
There is cooperation and disagreement, which is a common state among countries at this time.
Lu Zhengxiang obviously has a deeper understanding of Qin Zhiyuan's role in Sino-French relations, so he maintains sufficient respect for Qin Zhiyuan and is meticulous in his understanding.
General Qin, congratulations. After this battle, General Qin has become a famous general in the world. It is really a blessing to our Republic of China and a blessing to the Chinese people. Lu Zhengxiang's big hats are not given out one by one, but wholesaled one by one.
Mr. Lu was so complimentary that Qin was too embarrassed to deserve it. Qin Zhiyuan was polite.
It's worthy, it's worthy. In the battle of Qin General Feranta Denoua, the weak defeated the strong, not to mention, and captured the enemy chieftains and more than 100,000 enemies. When the news came, the whole country was jubilant. Master Duan had ordered General Qin to repair it. It is really gratifying and congratulatory to build a temple and memorial arch to commemorate General Qin’s military achievements. Lu Zhengxiang has a special meaning.
It is impossible to say that the Beiyang government is not nervous at all about Qin Zhiyuan's naturalization as a French national. It is not easy to produce such a famous general. The Beiyang government certainly does not want Qin Zhiyuan and the Republic of China government to go further and further away. It is serious to step up their efforts to win over him.
But for the governors of the Republic of China, the louder Qin Zhiyuan's reputation became, the more nervous they became.
If you think about it, you can understand that although Qin Zhiyuan became a French national, he still retained the nationality of the Republic of China. It would be okay if Qin Zhiyuan had stayed in France. Once Qin Zhiyuan returned to the Republic of China, how would he arrange for Qin Zhiyuan and the arrogant people under Qin Zhiyuan? Strong general
Therefore, the governors are all in danger now, fearing that Qin Zhiyuan will return to the Republic of China one day and take away the position of one of them.
What is certain is that if Qin Zhiyuan returns to China, he will definitely grab someone's position, maybe not the governors below, but the leader of the Beiyang government, Xu Duan, and others.
Everyone is in danger
It’s true that everyone is in danger
Mr. Duan is determined. Thank you all colleagues for your help. Qin will definitely continue to work hard and spread the prestige of our country thousands of miles away. He will not let foreigners underestimate me as a Chinese. Qin Zhiyuan is full of confidence.
This man has such a good reputation. Qin Zhiyuan has not yet married or has any children. It is not possible to have a wife and a wife. It would be nice to be able to honor the family. Although basically everyone in Qin Zhiyuan's hometown village has moved to Keji
Sijia Island, but being able to leave his own mark in the Republic of China still made Qin Zhiyuan very happy.
General Qin, there is something Lu said that I don’t know whether to say or not. Lu Zhengxiang was a little hesitant.
As President Lu said, there is no need to make twists and turns between us. Qin Zhiyuan is decisive.
Qin Zhiyuan is really a little impatient with red tape and customs. If it is traditional etiquette, Qin Zhiyuan will fully support it, but Qin Zhiyuan is firmly opposed to these red tapes when communicating between people.
Qin Zhiyuan has always believed that communication between people should be straightforward. If you have something to say, don't hold back. Once you have said it, do what you need to do quickly. It is a waste of time to go around in the clouds and mountains, and because the intention is not conveyed well.
It is clear, and sometimes there are deviations, which is really a poison of mysteries among literati.
Although General Qin has brilliant military exploits, he must also remember the truth that people's opinions are worth their weight in gold and their bones are destroyed. You must know that General Qin is thousands of miles away from the country, and you need General Qin to ensure good relations with the country. Give him the face he deserves, and give him the face he deserves.
When you give in, you have to give in. Some things may be better if handled in a different way. Lu Zhengxiang did not beat around the bush. Saying what you want to say to everyone is the basic quality of a diplomat.
Qin Zhiyuan is curious about how to change.
For example, General Qin's previous treatment of Japanese soldiers was not appropriate. The Japanese had negotiated with us before. If General Qin could release the Japanese soldiers, Japan would withdraw from Shandong as soon as possible as a sign of repayment to General Qin and us.
To compensate, General Qin killed him. Although the Japanese soldiers were responsible for it, it also caused the Japanese to directly interrupt the negotiations with us on the Shandong issue. We are very passive now. Lu Zhengxiang is a little helpless.
Between countries, it is actually an exchange of interests. If you want to gain something, you must lose something. This is normal. It is even normal for the Japanese to interrupt negotiations. If under such circumstances, the Japanese will still negotiate with them.
It is abnormal for the Beiyang government to negotiate.
Mr. Lu, first of all, I want to say that there are some things that can be negotiated between us and the Japanese, and some things that cannot be discussed. For example, the issue of Japanese soldiers this time, I think it is a non-negotiable issue. If we want to rely on the release of these
If Japanese soldiers come in exchange for the Japanese's compromise on the Shandong issue, then who will we become internationally? We will become a country that can have no principles for the sake of interests. This will do no harm to our national image. Qin Zhiyuan insisted.
General Qin, there are only interests and no principles between countries. As for our national image, when we can’t even fill the stomachs of our own people, what kind of national image do we have? What General Qin said about the national image
, It’s not that Lu doesn’t understand, but that’s not what our country needs most at the moment. Only by being practical can you know the etiquette. If the country is not prosperous and strong, any talk about the country’s image is nonsense. Lu Zhengxiang also did not do it when he pointed out that Qin Zhiyuan was wrong.
polite.
In the position of the Beiyang government, they are indeed in a difficult position.
It absolutely cannot be said that the leaders of the Beiyang government ignore people's livelihood and the country, and only care about harming the public and enriching themselves. At their level, personal interests no longer have much temptation. Being able to leave a name in history and let the people remember them is what they pursue.
Xu Duan and others also want the country to be prosperous and strong, and they also want the people to stand upright when facing outsiders. Even the governors of the Republic of China are not all so cruel and unscrupulous. The main problem of the Republic of China is that there is no internal synergy, whether it is
The Beiyang government is still the KMT. Everyone believes that only by using their own methods can the country become rich and the people strong, so they fight endlessly.
What they compete for is not just personal status, but also the opportunity to promote their own policy plans.
I don’t agree with this statement. It’s correct to be polite, but we shouldn’t place our hopes on foreigners. Mr. Lu, you can think about how many people there are in our country and what proportion of the world’s total population the foreigners will not
Seeing the rise of our country, we will not let our country become rich and powerful, because the total resources in the world are so much. If we Chinese get more, the foreigners will get less. They will never compromise in this regard. So we only
You can rely on yourself, not the Japanese, the French, or the charity of others, so don't expect any results from the negotiations. What you can't get on the battlefield, you can't get at the negotiation table either. Qin Zhiyuan is righteous
words.
Qin Zhiyuan cannot say that he hates or dislikes the Beiyang government. Qin Zhiyuan does not mind who is in power now, but when Qin Zhiyuan returns to China, Qin Zhiyuan will definitely pursue power and the opportunity to govern.
After listening to Qin Zhiyuan's words, Lu Zhengxiang's expression became more complicated. Lu Zhengxiang also understood what Qin Zhiyuan said, but this must be based on being able to defeat the enemy on the battlefield, or on the basis that it cannot be completely defeated. But then he thought about it.
The Republic of China fell into chaos, and Lu Zhengxiang was confused for a while.
The establishment of the Republic of China was originally the product of compromise between all parties, and was not overthrown by the founding fathers. Although the Republic of China has been established and Puyi has abdicated, Puyi himself still lives in the Forbidden City. The reason for this strange phenomenon is that at this time
There is no recognized leader that the whole country can recognize.
The founding father served as the president for a period of time, but he knew that he did not have any soldiers in his hands, so he gave up the power to Yuan Xiangcheng. Yuan Xiangcheng was originally regarded as the leader recognized by everyone, but his death caused the power to fall away again.
So far, because there is no recognized leader, the governors of each province believe that the emperor should take turns, and we can try it, so the Republic of China began to enter the stage of civil war.
It is simply wishful thinking to keep fighting endlessly while thinking about the prosperity of the country and the people.
Lu Zhengxiang knew this truth, but as a diplomat, Lu Zhengxiang had no soldiers in his hands. Facing this troubled world, Lu Zhengxiang was also at his wits' end.
Perhaps it was for this reason that Lu Zhengxiang became discouraged and avoided Europe.
In the original history, Lu Zhengxiang did go to Belgium to live in seclusion. Almost all documents say that Lu Zhengxiang was trapped in love and went to Belgium because his wife died of illness and was too sad. In fact, it is all nonsense. If the charm of Lu Zhengxiang's wife is really that great,
Lu Zhengxiang would not have let his wife follow him across the ocean, but would have stayed in Belgium with his Belgian wife.
Disappointment with the current situation, disappointment with the country, and disappointment with the world is probably the real reason why Lu Zhengxiang lived in seclusion in Belgium.
