I realized that I had underestimated you. Crown Prince William looked at Qin Zhiyuan in surprise.
A week has passed since the Strait incident. Qin Zhiyuan returned to Paris from Corsica to prepare for Christmas and Julie's wedding. Crown Prince William, as one of the guests, also returned to Paris to prepare to attend.
Now in the Black Swan Castle, Qin Zhiyuan is trying on a dress. Although the tailor who has dealt with him knows Qin Zhiyuan's physical data well, he is still meticulous and rigorous.
Don't underestimate anyone, even an unknown Serbian youth may trigger a world war. Qin Zhiyuan stood in front of the full-length mirror, adjusting his tie.
There are deeper reasons for the outbreak of the world war, but this is not a seminar, there is no need to be so rigorous, Qin Zhiyuan said it very casually.
You know what I'm talking about. Crown Prince William had something else to say.
You know why I say that. Qin Zhiyuan and Crown Prince William were not the only ones present, there were also the tailor and his assistant, as well as Pierre and two maids. Qin Zhiyuan couldn't say too clearly.
There are many children in Black Swan Castle and the nearby Boy Scout camp. Some of these children are still young and need nannies to take care of them. The maids in Black Swan Castle are all hired by O. Henry to take care of the children and are also responsible for maintaining the Black Swan Castle.
Daily life at Swan Castle.
O. Henry is Gaspard's subordinate and a professional steward. He is responsible for maintaining all Qin Zhiyuan's properties in the Boulogne Forest.
By the way, Qin Zhiyuan has now bought the entire Bois de Boulogne. This forest covering an area of 15 square kilometers now belongs to Qin Zhiyuan completely. Because it is close to Paris, the land here is appreciating every day.
The Bois de Boulogne was once a district of Paris in another time and space.
It's a pity that I'm already married, otherwise I could accompany you to the wedding. Crown Prince William changed the topic back to the wedding.
Forget it, you are the royal family and I cannot reach you. Qin Zhiyuan immediately refused.
Because it is a Western-style wedding, there will definitely be a need for best man and best man. There is no shortage of these candidates, and Qin Zhiyuan can easily pull out a lot of them.
Although Crown Prince William is a prisoner now, he has a distinguished status after all. It is estimated that he has never been a best man in his life, so he is quite eager to try it.
Qin Zhiyuan was indifferent to Crown Prince William's enthusiasm. In fact, according to Qin Zhiyuan's wishes, he originally did not want to hold a wedding, but taking into account Julie's mood, Qin Zhiyuan decided to act as a backdrop.
It is said that every woman hopes to have a wedding, even if she is a bachelor, it is just because there is no right time to meet the right person, and she will not feel alone when she dreams back at midnight.
Hum, yes, you don't need to remind me, but I don't have much money now, so don't expect me to give you a big red envelope. Crown Prince William has studied Eastern etiquette, so he is considerate.
As long as you can participate, no need for red envelopes or anything like that. Qin Zhiyuan is generous.
Now Qin Zhiyuan has gone beyond the realm of hastily hiding a bag of gems when he sees them. If we really count, no one in France is richer than Qin Zhiyuan, including old Renault.
The Penicillin Company, even the airport jointly owned by United Petroleum Company and Old Renault, which has begun to generate profits, and Standard Oil, which has not yet started construction, are all big financiers. Old Renault may be rich, but there are more real estates.
In terms of cash flow, the old Renault may not necessarily have as much as Qin Zhiyuan.
Well, I almost forgot, you are now a rich man. When it comes to money, Crown Prince William is also short of breath.
Although Crown Prince William is a member of the royal family, he is also very poor.
Today's royal family is no longer what it used to be, with fewer and fewer rights and shrinking wealth. The Kaiser and others have begun to gradually transition to mascots, which are more of just a symbol with more symbolic meaning.
Crown Prince William also has a lot of properties, but they are basically money-losing goods. For example, those castles and manors do not generate any profits, and huge sums of money have to be invested in maintenance. Even the fiefdom under Crown Prince William's name still costs William money.
The Crown Prince himself paid for financial subsidies. Calculating this, Crown Prince William really has no confidence.
It's easy to make money, just wait, if there is a chance after the war, we might be able to do something together. Qin Zhiyuan painted the cake.
It’s not just a joke. When it comes to doing business, Germans are also very talented.
Among the four major monopoly forms, trusts, Concerns, cartel syndicates, except for trusts which are popular in the United States, the remaining three are popular in Germany, which shows the strict business planning of the Germans.
What do you have your sights on? Crown Prince William is on alert.
Don't be nervous all day long. If I really like something from you, I will ask you directly for it after the war. Qin Zhiyuan is confident.
You are so confident that Germany will definitely defeat Crown Prince Wilhelm and he does not avoid this issue.
Do you still think that it is possible for Germany to win Qin Zhiyuan's counter-examination?
At this point in the war, only the Germans believe that they still have the strength to fight. Others, including Austria-Hungary, have recently been in frequent contact with the Allies to find ways to cease the war.
We will not surrender. Although Crown Prince William is unwilling to do so, he has to face the facts.
Okay, sir, do you have any questions? With the help of two assistants, the old tailor finally helped Qin Zhiyuan put on the dress. Looking at Qin Zhiyuan in the mirror, the old tailor was very satisfied.
There is no reason to be dissatisfied, Qin Zhiyuan is a natural dresser, with a standard figure, well-proportioned muscles, and a tall and straight posture. Such a person can look casual and casual even if he is wrapped in a sheet.
It's very good. Thank you very much. Qin Zhiyuan is also very satisfied. This tailor shop, which is said to have provided services to the French royal family, does have a set.
Well, the 20,000 francs were not wasted, this time it was just the cost of two sets of dresses.
To be honest, Qin Zhiyuan feels that it is no different from the latest casual suit launched by Hunter Clothing.
Although Qin Zhiyuan was very satisfied, the old tailor still found some flaws, and then the clothes were stripped off again, and the old tailor had to take them back to modify them.
In Qin Zhiyuan's opinion, it is the difference between 99 points and 100 points. The old tailor's strict requirements probably also mean that Qin Zhiyuan feels that the money is worth spending.
After instructing O. Henry to send the old tailor away, Qin Zhiyuan and Crown Prince William returned to the office.
Now I am very doubtful about how many submarines you have in hand. When there are only two people left, Crown Prince William does not hide it.
What does it matter? There is no war between us anyway. Qin Zhiyuan does not have much hostility towards Germany.
I'm just curious. Your troops only trained for three months and were able to execute such a large-scale combat plan. However, our submarine force has been fighting the British for three years, but it still doesn't look perfect. Crown Prince William is very demanding.
.
How should I explain this? Let's wait until after the war. After the war, we can do some technical exchanges. Qin Zhiyuan doesn't want the current Crown Prince William to have access to too many secrets.
If you were an ordinary person, you might not be able to tell much if you showed him the drawings of a submarine. But for a soldier like Crown Prince William, even just looking at the appearance of the submarine would allow him to deduce a lot of things.
At this time, some basic theories of aerodynamics had just emerged, which were not enough to support the birth of a discipline.
But for some people, the streamlined shape does not require too much reminder, and the value can be understood at just one glance.
Although the relationship between Qin Zhiyuan and Crown Prince William is good, France and Germany are still at war after all, and many things must be kept secret. After all, there are some bottom lines that cannot be touched, otherwise there will be a strong backlash.
What a pity. It would have been nice if we had known each other ten years ago. Crown Prince Wilhelm is indeed very sorry.
If it were ten years ago, I'm afraid you wouldn't be interested in me. Qin Zhiyuan had already seen through it.
As the saying goes, there is no acquaintance without fighting. If Qin Zhiyuan had not left a deep impression on Crown Prince William on the battlefield, then I am afraid that Crown Prince William would not have looked at Qin Zhiyuan.
If you want to be taken seriously, you must first have the qualifications to be taken seriously.
Ah, we don't have to pay for other people's mistakes. Crown Prince William is a little embarrassed.
Qin Zhiyuan immediately understood what Crown Prince William meant, which was for Germany's invasion of Qingdao in the Republic of China.
Looking to the future, Qin Zhiyuan can only say this.
After seeing off Crown Prince William, George Legge came to visit.
Georges Legault is the current French Navy Minister. He has had several interactions with Qin Zhiyuan, especially after the two sides began to jointly improve submarines.
Qin, you are too courageous. George Legg looked at Qin Zhiyuan with complicated eyes.
After seeing the news of the attack on the Dutch fleet, George Legge understood immediately that it must have been done by Qin Zhiyuan. Unlike the Dutch, George Legge knew that Qin Zhiyuan had submarines and even the specific number
all know.
Just treat it as a test of the combat effectiveness of the submarine force for you. Qin Zhiyuan did not hide George Legg, that would make no sense.
For these big shots, there is really no point in hiding the situation. Even the Queen of the Netherlands is helpless even if she knows that Qin Zhiyuan has a submarine.
What can be done
Let's not talk about whether Qin Zhiyuan will admit it. If the Queen of the Netherlands determines that Qin Zhiyuan has the power to launch an attack, then the French government will only need to trace the source of the Queen of the Netherlands' intelligence. The Queen of the Netherlands will first have a lot of troubles.
The greater possibility is that Qin Zhiyuan refuses to admit it, so the Queen of the Netherlands also has no choice, because she cannot directly send troops to Corsica to search, and let alone whether it can be defeated or not, the French government is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed.
In the final analysis, the quality of the relationship still depends on strength. If Borneo is not in the hands of the Dutch, but in the hands of the British, then Qin Zhiyuan will be much more cautious.
The problem was, those submarines did not belong to the French Navy. Georges Legault wanted the benefits.
Hey, hey, don't be too greedy. You also have information on Q series submarines. You can build as many submarines as you want. Qin Zhiyuan won't be fooled.
So far, many Chinese have joined French nationality with Qin Zhiyuan, and of course they are still in the Foreign Legion. However, there are also voices in Congress, which are discussing whether it is necessary for these Chinese who have become French nationals to stay in the Foreign Legion.
Judging from what George Legg meant, he wanted to poach Qin Zhiyuan's submarine force, which Qin Zhiyuan would never accept. Qin Zhiyuan joined the Foreign Legion and even encouraged Chinese to join the Foreign Legion just to lay eggs. Qin Zhiyuan could not
It's like a chicken flying an egg but it's all in vain.
Of course it's not a problem with submarines. George Legg has big plans.
Let’s talk about it. Qin Zhiyuan didn’t comment.
I heard that your Power Research Institute is researching a new type of torpedo that can reach a speed of 50 knots. Is there such a thing? George Legg stared at Qin Zhiyuan's eyes.
George, you cannot infiltrate my research institute. This is a commercial secret. You must stop this behavior, otherwise I will terminate all ongoing cooperation with the military. Qin Zhiyuan was angry.
George Legg was shocked. Qin Zhiyuan’s reaction was different from the one in the script.
