Before Crown Prince William arrived, Qin Zhiyuan had imagined Crown Prince William's intention.
If we focus on the future, Crown Prince William may explore the possibility of union with Qin Zhiyuan.
If we focus on the present, Crown Prince William may raise some questions about Germans, or German prisoners of war, or even about penicillin.
No matter how much Qin Zhiyuan thought about it, he never expected that Crown Prince William would make such a request.
From a German standpoint, Crown Prince Wilhelm's behavior is akin to treason.
Therefore, Qin Zhiyuan did not give an answer immediately. He wanted to calculate the pros and cons of doing so.
Crown Prince William also knew that the matter was serious and did not rush Qin Zhiyuan, but quietly waited for Qin Zhiyuan's answer.
If I send someone there, then what can I get? Qin Zhiyuan gets to the core of the problem.
Do not get up early if there is no benefit. If there is not enough benefit, Qin Zhiyuan will not do it.
If Erich is eliminated, the war will end immediately. Isn't this benefit enough? Crown Prince William is full of confidence.
Don't say these useless things, even if I don't take the risk, the war will still end. What's more, if the war ends now, I'm afraid it will be more beneficial to you. Qin Zhiyuan dismissed it, and saw that Crown Prince William was about to open his mouth, and immediately
Separate the conversation: Although this is France, it is no stranger to the situation in Germany, especially the people's attitude towards your royal family, so you'd better say something substantive, and let them go to hell with those high-sounding rhetoric.
When it comes to interests, Qin Zhiyuan is also unambiguous. One code belongs to the other, and the brothers still settle the accounts clearly.
Hearing what Qin Zhiyuan said, Crown Prince William's expression suddenly felt a little awkward: Qin, the situation in the country is indeed not very good, and the people also criticize the royal family, but what can I do? Although I am still the crown prince, my actual status is
But I am a prisoner. Even if I want to do something, I am unable to do anything. But if this continues, Erich will lead Germany into an unknown abyss, and the royal family will become Erich's burial victim. I
Can't watch that happen.
After all, Crown Prince Wilhelm is not a politician, and he can't do anything like lying with his eyes open. Since Qin Zhiyuan mentioned the royal family, Crown Prince Wilhelm did not hide the current situation of the German royal family.
At this point, Crown Prince William's expression became more sincere: Qin, I can't make you any promises now, but I think we have a friendship during this period. If I take the throne, I will put everything you did in Corsica into
Germany copied, whether you return to the Republic of China or return to Lanfang to be your king, Germany will be your staunch ally. It is not because I lost to you on the battlefield, but because of your goodwill towards the Germans.
, although you did it unintentionally and expressed this kind of fraternity to other races, Qin, all Germans will remember everything you did, just like those Germans who have now become French nationals.
Although Crown Prince William still did not make any specific promises, Qin Zhiyuan felt relatively at ease. In Crown Prince William's situation, Qin Zhiyuan could not ask Crown Prince William to do more.
I have to think about it and maybe discuss it with other people, but in any case, please rest assured that this matter will not spread on a large scale and will only be known to a limited number of people. Of course Qin Zhiyuan will not reply to Crown Prince William right now
, this matter involves too much, Qin Zhiyuan does not have the right to make this decision yet.
Crown Prince William expressed his understanding of this and did not raise any objections, even though Qin Zhiyuan said that he would discuss it with others.
Only a few people are qualified to discuss with Qin Zhiyuan. Crown Prince William is not worried that the spread of this news will affect the reputation of the German royal family.
Since the outbreak of the world war, the propaganda machines of various countries have been in full swing.
In the Allied Powers, the Kaiser was described as a debauched and immoral emperor, an obstacle to human progress, a demon who eats human flesh alive, etc. Even if some tidbits about Crown Prince Wilhelm were added, it was not uncommon.
What's more, if this news really spreads, Crown Prince William can completely deny it as a slander by the Allies.
During the World War, there was so much news like this that it was hard to tell whether it was true or false.
So that night, Qin Zhiyuan and Crown Prince William took a transport plane and flew back to Paris.
Flying at night was a very dangerous thing in the 1920s.
Now there is no navigation, no walkie-talkies, and no radar. It all depends on the experience of the pilots and navigators, and they have to use firelights to set reference objects on the ground. This can be done reluctantly.
Qin Zhiyuan has all the conditions. With just an order, all preparations will be carried out immediately.
In fact, since the Germans besieged Reims, the Ministry of War asked Qin Zhiyuan to leave Reims and retreat to Paris, because no matter what, there was no need for senior generals like Qin Zhiyuan to stay in Reims and take risks.
Qin Zhiyuan will definitely not abandon the troops and leave at this critical moment, even if he is commanding remotely from Paris. No matter what, Qin Zhiyuan will choose to be with the soldiers, regardless of life or death.
Now the situation is different. Qin Zhiyuan must go back to Paris in person to communicate with certain people. It is difficult to say this in a telegram.
After getting on the transport plane, Pierre was curious about the guy in the cabin who completely covered his head and face with a cloak, but Qin Zhiyuan stopped him with his eyes and did not ask further questions. The group of people just flew to Paris without any communication.
There is really nothing to say, everything that needs to be said has been said, and the next step is to look at Qin Zhiyuan's mobility.
Paris is actually very close to Reims, and it feels like the plane starts to descend before it has climbed to the right position. It is actually the most dangerous when it is descending. If you are not careful, the plane will crash and everyone will die.
Qin Zhiyuan has notified the Paris Airport that his plane will land. The airport lit two rows of fires on both sides of the ground runway to illuminate the runway and guide the plane to land.
The pilot's skills were pretty good, and although it was a little bumpy, it was finally successful without any accidents.
After getting off the plane, Qin Zhiyuan and Crown Prince William separated. Crown Prince William continued to go back to be a prisoner, while Qin Zhiyuan went to implement the implementation.
The car sent by Black Swan Castle had been waiting at the airport for a long time, picked up Qin Zhiyuan and drove straight to Foch's headquarters.
Qin Zhiyuan would discuss such matters with Foch first, both in public and private matters.
Although it was already midnight, it was obviously not Foch's rest time yet. Foch's headquarters was brightly lit and people were coming and going, no different from the daytime.
Foch was having a meeting with a group of staff officers in the conference room, listening to the staff's tactical deductions and newly released combat plans. There would be countless plans of this kind every day, and Foch would choose the most suitable one as his own plan to implement.
Upon hearing the report of Qin Zhiyuan's arrival, Foch immediately suspended the meeting and returned to the office to see Qin Zhiyuan.
Why did he come back at this time? Is there any new progress? Foch is concerned.
Qin Zhiyuan had to submit a battle report to the Army Department every day, and it had Qin Zhiyuan's autograph on it. Although the signature could not be transferred to the telegram as it was, as long as the person signing the signature was Qin Zhiyuan, it meant that Qin Zhiyuan was still on the battlefield and was on the battlefield.
the supreme commander.
Don’t dare to lie on this point, it will be archived after the war.
One thing, there's no problem here, right? Qin Zhiyuan doesn't quite believe in the confidentiality work here. Although this is the headquarters of the Allied Powers, it is conceivable that Britain and France will closely monitor this place.
Especially the British.
Of course, no problem, this is my territory, and whoever dares to tamper with my territory, I will let him walk around with endless food. Foch is very domineering.
As the commander-in-chief of the Allied Powers during the war, Foch had power beyond the British and French governments. Foch had the confidence to say this.
But then again, Foch has indeed reached the peak of his life, which often heralds the beginning of decline.
When the world war is over, Foch will not receive any position. For Foch, retirement is the natural and most honorable ending.
That's good. William came to me just now and wanted me to kill Ludendorff. Qin Zhiyuan got straight to the point.
How to do it? Foch frowned and looked horrified.
Ludendorff's status in the German army at this time cannot be denied. If Crown Prince William wanted to kill Ludendorff, as mentioned above, this behavior would be close to treason.
The specific plan has not yet been decided, but William promised that someone in Germany would cooperate. Qin Zhiyuan did not express his own ideas, only stated the facts, and left the decision-making power to Foch.
If someone in Germany cooperates, then it is indeed possible. Foch recognized this.
The Allies regarded Ludendorff as a thorn in their side, and Foch did not mind destroying Ludendorff as long as there was a chance.
For the Germans, Foch, Clemenceau, Qin Zhiyuan and others are also a thorn in their side. If there is an opportunity, the Germans will not let it go, no matter what method is used.
Of course, just because Foch said this does not mean that Foch will agree to do this. This is not a small matter, and Foch will definitely think about it carefully.
If Ludendorff is killed, the progress of the war will be accelerated, but there are also disadvantages. The German royal family is expected to be able to escape from the whirlpool. This involves a question, what kind of Germany do we want? Qin Zhiyuan only analyzes and does not include
own opinion.
What kind of Germany do you want?
this is a big problem.
The world war has seen the dawn of its end, so after the war, how the Allied Powers, as the victorious country, will deal with Germany, the defeated country, has become an urgent problem.
Should we retain the German royal family and maintain the current situation, establish a constitutional monarchy modeled on the British, or completely overthrow the monarchy and establish a republican system similar to France, or establish a system similar to Soviet Russia?
There are so many possibilities.
What do you think? Foch asked Qin Zhiyuan for his opinion.
In fact, Qin Zhiyuan has not yet realized how powerful his words are. If calculated carefully, the words of Foch or Clemenceau are not as powerful as Qin Zhiyuan's.
Qin Zhiyuan has troops in his hands, and those Chinese troops are loyal to Qin Zhiyuan. It can be predicted that they will always be loyal to Qin Zhiyuan. On this point, Qin Zhiyuan has completely defeated all the current Allied generals.
The power in Foch's hands was indeed great, and there were more soldiers who followed Foch's orders, but those soldiers were loyal to the country, not to Foch himself, which was fundamentally different from Qin Zhiyuan's troops.
Let’s talk about Clemenceau. When he was the Prime Minister of France, Clemenceau was of course a big shot. He was one of the few big shots in the entire system of the Entente and even in the world. But the democratically elected government had a fatal flaw. Those big shots were just
Because of his noble status, once Clemenceau stepped down, Clemenceau would be nothing but the editor-in-chief of a newspaper.
But Qin Zhiyuan is different. Qin Zhiyuan is the major shareholder of United Petroleum and has no shortage of money. He owns several top laboratories and stands at the forefront of science and technology. He is also the king of the Grand Duchy of Lanfang and holds a considerable amount of money.
armies, and the combat effectiveness of these armies is still recognized as super strong
Therefore, even after the world war ended, no one dared to underestimate Qin Zhiyuan, because Qin Zhiyuan was now fully fledged.
